Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth B.B Cream

Image
I have 4 noticeable pimple scars around my nose. It actually troubles me specially when I get to see myself at the mirror. With that, I bought B.B cream or blemish balm from Maybelline . Specifically, it's the Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream 8-in-1 Skin Transformer in the shade fresh . Additionally, it has SPF 26. P 209  Product Description Clear smooth BB Cream is a multi-benefit product that combines the benefit product that combines the benefits of skincare, make-up and sun block in a cream. It contains 8 healthy minerals that moisturize and protect skin while giving flawless natural coverage. 8-in-1 Benefits Moisturizes Brightens Clears Refines Conceals Evens Smoothens  Protects The product comes out through a tiny opening of the tube. I agree with the product description that it gives a natural coverage. Well, the product is in liquid and sheer so I would have to expect it to work like a moisturizer. To add, it...

Review: Ever Bilena Lip pencils and eye pencil

Image
Today's the official start of my vacation. No more exams nor deadlines. Finally, I could spend some time blogging. To start, i'll be showing you my new favorites. These are pencils from the brand Ever Bilena . I bought an ever bilena lip pencil before but in different packaging and much cheaper. Additionally, it's more dry than the new ones. On the other hand, I also bought an eye pencil in white. P 100 for a 12 cm pencil Shades in Cappuccino, Burgundy and white Swatches The products are pigmented. I love how they look when worn. The colors are strong. You could actually apply one alone without lipstick. In addition, for dry lips like mine, I apply first  Carmex Lip moisturi zer. With that, it would give an easier application.  Here's a photo of model Mharyel wearing a lip liner in Cappuccino followed by Ever bilena lipstick in Mauvey (shade of brown) . -End-  Thank you for reading :">

Review: Quick FX

Image
Primers are expensive. Despite their prices, we invest on them. Why? Primers are applied to improve the coverage and staying power of our foundation. It also reduces the look of large pores and face lines. Lastly, it prevents the  foundation from caking.  I was about to purchase a primer online when I saw Quick FX No Shine Mattifier on youtube. Based from feedback, it was claimed to be cheap yet effective product. With that in head, I decided to try this first before any online purchasing. I bought this at Watsons. There are four kinds of Quick FX but I only bought the tinted moisturizer, eyelift cream and no shine mattifier.  The packaging is travel friendly. The product is in a sachet.  The Quick FX No Shine Mattifier is a good primer for starters.For the application , the product feels smooth on the face. It really transforms it from a shiny  to matte. I love how it prepares my skin for a thick foundation like my Revlon  Colorsta...

Review: Aido Eye Putti (lash glue)

Image
After a week of dextrose and additional weeks to recover from weight loss due to dengue, I'm healthy to say I'm back! :) Before the unexpected viral infection, I planned to blog successively. Unluckily, everything had to wait. Well today just to exercise typing again, I'll be doing a review. Today's product is Aido Eye Putti. This is the first time that I tried this product. The lash glue that I originally planned to buy went out of stock. This sells for 140 php. Application is easy because the  applicator is pointed. You could thinly apply the product. If ever that the lashes are already placed, you could actually do some touch ups for the lash applicator could reach through small areas.  What I do not like about it is that it takes a lot of moment drying. If not, the glue doesn't work at all. I mean, dry for 10 seconds, place the lashes with glue and it tries its best to dry without sticking. Define hassle with all the glue retouches...

REVIEW:Ever Bilena Foundation and Concealer

Image
I have been using this Ever Bilena Pro Flawless Foundation for so long now. I'm loving it and it serves as my everyday foundation.  For the pros of this product: First, it doesn't caused me SKIN BREAK OUT . It is very essential that the product we use is not stressing the skin. Second, it gives light-medium coverage which isn't an issue since it is my school makeup. At most, I prefer to wear something light on my face so this works for me. Like any foundation, after some hours you'll start to oil out. By the way, I have an oily skin. Well, It would at most last up to 4 hours on me. My shade: Gold.  For the concealer:  This concealer is in tube with a tiny hole enough to squeeze the desired amount of product. The downside of this product is that it does not conceal really those pimples nor scars. It only decreases the visibility by a very small  percent. This product ended up as a primer for my eye shadows. I don't know where else I co...

Favorite: Eyeliners

Image
After so many weeks, I finally found the time to make a new post. Hurray! I just wanted to share my favorite pencil and liquid eyeliners.  I have been using Ever Bilena liquid and pencil eyeliners for decades (exaggerating :P). From the first time I tried these babies, I have not gain interest in trying out other brands. Of course, there is an exception for my Fanny Serrano gel liner since it is a gel liner.  EB Liquid Eyeliner - P150 EB Eyeliner Pencil - P65 The EB  liquid eyeliner has a triangular tip which I prefer in making a Cat eye look. Both products are very pigmented. The liquid one gives you a bold black  I often use in  dramatic or even K-pop looks.  Meanwhile, the eyeliner pencil is pigmented to the point that it only takes one or two application. When  subjected to SMUDGE TEST .  When subjected to WATER TEST . The liquid eyeliner definitely is long lasting and is water proof. It's hard to remove. Ofte...

REVIEW: Avon Simple Pretty Shine No More Pressed Powder

Image
It's hot outside and it makes me very very sweaty. I just hate to look messy. So let me present to you the pressed powder I super love - It is the Shine No more Pressed Powder in the shade Soft Bisque by Avon.  And yes! I use this to mattify and keep on my foundation and retouch every time my T-zone gets oily. I already hit the pan and bought a refill. I already disposed the foam that came with it and replaced with an Ever Bilena one. What I like about it beside being Oil-free is that it has SPF 14. Let me add, that people with oily/combination  skin should go for the Oil-free products. And as what it states at the back, it really is blend-able. The best part is that it is Non-comedogenic and Non-acnegenic. This means it does contain ingredients that will clog your pores to aggravate or produce acne. Very pigmented. I just need few swipes with the use of foam and my face looks freshen up! There is nothing I hate about this product. I cannot remember th...

Review: Ever Bilena Lip Liner

Image
This is my first lip liner. I bought one to see if filling the lips with it will make the lipstick last a bit longer. So here, i have my Ever Bilena Lip Liner in Red. Why red? I have this pale-warm skin tone and red lips make me look very sophisticated.  Remember that in choosing a lip liner, make sure that the color is two shades darker than the lipstick.   PRICE: P60 SWATCH: Blood Red shade I don't know what happened with this. The color of this lip liner is somewhat BLOOD red and It looks pink here With my Beauty Threat Lip gloss . Actually i LOVE that lip gloss,  it smells nice and tastes good. :) I tried this Lip liner with my L.A girl lipstick in the shade of Luscious Red (picture soon). Both works together in terms of color. It gives that cold bloody red color.  The huge problem is that  the whole lip-look did not last an hour. :( And when I ate a bread - all gone! Lip liner that will make the lipstick last a bit lo...

Review: Fanny Serrano Two Way Cake

Image
I usually prefer liquid foundations only. The Fanny Serrano  two-way cake foundation  changed my mine. When I tried it, I decided to buy the other shades. XD Well, I think it was true how some people over blogspot considers this great even dupe for  Mac Studio Fix Foundation.   Before anything else, Fanny Serrano is a local brand in the Philippines. I have Duchess and Organza in this type of packaging I guess they realized that it would be more comfortable to have the mirror at front . The shade is in Silk (lightest shade they have),  a yellow undertone I use under the eyes and on  the bridge of the nose. This one is considered perfect for highlighting the face.  It comes with a sponge and a mirror. Sorry for that sponge, used this already before taking photo. :P It has holes underneath in order for the product to breath? or for the sponge to dry if wet  and accumulate dust? - I don't know. I'm j...

Review: San San Concealer

Image
Do you have a fair or dark skin? Whatever skin color you have everyone should aim for that glowing look. I have watched and read a lot of videos and articles that talks about highlighting the face. And yes, i mean something that pops your upper cheeks and lifts your nose. I tried them all and so far the best result came from a cream. I cannot say this is the best cream I ever tried but so far it would be working with me.  I bought this from HBC for P130 .   According to the saleslady, this is the lightest shade they have - Natural . It is very creamy. I only need few swipes and i'm on for the next step. How i use this? First i put the cream over the bridge of the nose and on my eye bags. Afterwards, I blend with another concealer followed by  foundation. So in blending, make sure that the shade of the second concealer and foundation matches your skin so that this super light concealer will blend and give glow to you're face making you...
