    Sansan creamy matte lipstick in nude brown

    Hello loves! It's been a while 🙈  I have a lot of ideas but I can't find the time to do it haha! Anyway here's another discovery from Sansan! And it only cost php135! . It even has SPF 15, enriched with vitamins A, C and E! . It is really creamy that it glides smoothly on the lips. This looks gorgeous on the lips! However my sister said that it made me look darker, upon checking it on the mirror I realized that it kind of give this J.Lo glow since it has a this fine shimmer I like the consistency and the price tag hehe! They have different shades but i choose this settle lip color .

    product review/ ELF TONE CORRECTING CONCEALER

      
     WARNING : THIS REVIEW IS FOR BEGINNERS  IN MAKE UP LIKE ME !!! :D

    Alright,  this is the first liquid concealer that I bought so I would like to share what a newbie thinks about the product. The first concealer that I bought is a pencil concealer, I didn't finish it off because it tends to be cakey and it doesn't cover all my blemishes. The 2nd concealer that I bought is a concealer in a lipstick form :) which does the same thing because my skin is dry, even if I always wear moisturizers on. Then here comes this liquid concealer w/c i lurvee!. It's easy to blend and for some reason it smells like candy to me :)                                                                  
    this is the sponge that it comes with
    It claims to have safe,gentle formula which is a plus for sensitive skin . I bought this for Php.130  and it contains 0.08oz/2.3g of product in it. 
         On the packaging: 
    • Hides complexion imperfection
    • Evens out skin tone
    • natural looking, silky smooth coverage
    with regards to this claims I have a few photos to compare, be the judge, the photos are not edited, no filters 

    1. I'm wearing  Olay Natural White 

    2.I'm wearing FX tinted moisturizer

    3. I'm wearing Elf tone correcting concealer with no powder 

    COMPARISON





    so that's it, this is my favorite concealer as of the moment . I hope it helped :)

    wet n wild

    hi loves! :)
    I was able to get a hold of these glitter nail polish from Wet n Wild   Ice Baby Collection .I was able to get 3 shades only. The consistency of the product is just right, it doesn't dry easily that it avoids clumps during application. It is build-able depending on your preferences.  I hope the pictures will help you :)

    Xoxo!

    EOS (Evolution OF Smooth)

                The first ever lippy that I had was from Avon, It was the best lip gloss that i’ve known then :) I had like 2-3 of them and then I never bought another because I was able to discover a better replacement  . 

    eos lip balm in Pomegranate Raspberry is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.
    • Long-lasting moisture
    • Shea butter & vitamin E
    • Smoothes on clear
    • Precisely glides on lips
    • Twist-off top
    Pomegranate Raspberry 
    I was attracted to it's packaging , so cute and girly. It's also covered with rubber for a nice grip. The balm  looks like a "vaseline/petroleum jelly", no tint  but the smell is delicious :)  and it's solid.
    I've heard  so many good reviews about this and knowing this is a plus 
    On the label: 95 % organic, 100% natural
    The smell is so good that it makes you want to eat the whole thing .Good thing it’s not that  sweet as the add says:
     Smooth on an all natural lip balm that delivers the perfect balance of flavor and moisture.
    which I was able to prove myself.




    The only significant difference that I was able to find in this product is that it's natural so this would be perfect for health conscious ladies other than that I can say that it works the same way  with other nice brands of glosses/balms. The Balm is being advertised by popular people but it's difficult to get a hold of that makes it expensive. There are fake EOS balms as well.   

    I hope it's helpful

    XoXo!

    Etude House Oh-m’ Eye Lash

    I purchased this base coat from Etude house because it claims to:
    1. Protect the lashes
    2. Makes the lashes looks longer

    This is what it looks like:



    excuse my skin it's bare :D

    This is my lashes without anything on it:

    With 2-3 coats of Oh-m’ Eye Lash :


    Topped with mascara:



    Mascara without the base coat:



    This is my second time purchasing this because I lost the other one. It costs Php 199 ($4 USD). There are other mascara that is buildable to achieve this look of lashes without the base coat I just got it for added protection and for my lashes to look longer and thicker.

    Marrionaud Brushes

    I have these brushes for more or less than two years so you can see scratches on the ferrule of the brush. I love that it comes in an individual package that you get to choose the brush you prefer and in my case since i have been bringing some of the brushes at work, one of them got lost and i was able to replace it without purchasing a set.





    Marrionaud
    *made of synthetic bristles
    *available at Watsons and Sm department stores
    *these brushes on the picture ranges from Php 50- Php 200 per piece
    (they also have other brushes like kabuki, powder brush and the price does not exceed to Php 500)
    I did not purchase the powder brush because i already found a powder brush which works fine , soft ,sturdy and inexpensive  @ 99 pesos which i purchased at a local store.


     N32-Angled Blush


     N33-Foundation Brush , i used this for like three, four times only, i'm still not used to wearing foundations

     N36 double ended angled brush and spoolie
    I use the angled brush for shaping my eye brows. The spoolie is used for removing clumps after mascara application and it's for distributing pigment for bold brows or just grooming  errant hair



     N39 another tool for removing clumps and distribute colors of your brows although i prefer the spoolie to do the trick but this is great for grooming stray hairs.
     N34 concealer brush, i haven't really used this for concealer, i use it for my cream eye shadow

    N37  Pencil brush for precise application and definition of the bottom eyelid with shadow, or doing detail work in the crease.  


    *great quality, the hair did not shed after a few times of washing them

    *they get the job done
    *affordable
    *easy to wash except the foundation brush
    *sleek and looks high end  design

    For quality and functionality i would rate these brushes as 8.5/10 .
