Just recently, I got the Smashbox Holidaze: Be Legendary Lipstick + Lip Mattifier Set as a gift from my mom. The set contains five cream lipsticks and a lip mattifier, if you want a matte finish. Pros: The packaging, for both the box and the individual lipsticks, is very cute. I love how the lipsticks come in a whims…

Just recently, as a treat for myself, I got the Morphe Soul of Summer eyeshadow palette. Normally when it comes to make-up, I am sooo far from bougie that I would always buy drugstore brands. My favorites are Maybelline, L'Oreal, Revlon, and E.L.F. I did own a couple of Urban Decay palettes but they were both gifts. Which is wh…

Hi there! Just posting a quick review about this blush that I like very much. It's the Physician's Formula Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Blush. For those of you who don't know, Physician's Formula is an American make-up brand. It is started by Dr. Frank Candall, a leading allergist, for his wife who has l…

Ever since the first time I tried their products, the Beauty Bakery has been one of my favorite local skin care brands. Their products are really effective and they smell good.  After using two of their facial scrubs and being a happy customer, I decided to give their Skin Perfecting Underarm Scrub a try. Pros: Just…

Contouring is a great way to sculpt the face without the need for plastic surgery. Contouring can make the face slimmer and the nose line more prominent.  I have been contouring ever since I learned the art of it, but so far I have only tried using powder products to contour. For the longest time, I have been wanting to try cre…

Ever since I tried the Cathy Doll AA Cream , I got hooked on Cathy Doll products. Up next for review is the Cathy Doll CC Speed White Powderpact. I ordered it online at Zalora . It arrived the next business day and here it is. The first thing that you would notice about it is how cute the packaging is. It came in a white box …

Lately, I've been really obsessed with Korean makeup and skin care products. With Korean girls' smooth, poreless, and dewy skin, who wouldn't be, right? So I did my research on Korean brands and ended up buying the Cathy Doll AA Cream and I really love it. It's now on my list of holy grail makeup products. AA st…

Hi, everyone! If you've been reading my blog for a few years now, then you would know that I am a fan of skin care even though I don't post about it that often. I love skin care products more than I love make-up and I believe that good skin is a girl's best friend. If you have great skin, then there would be very little…

I'm a fan of skin care. While make-up is great for hiding our imperfections and accentuating our assets, skin care is still key to flawless make-up application. Plus, having great skin beats wearing full coverage make-up every time. I discovered The Beauty Bakery when I was hunting down good products based on reviews to inc…

It's been a while since I've done a make-up post. Mostly because I was too lazy to do them. I was too lazy to take photos and do swatches of the products. But don't get me wrong, I still looove make-up and on occasion, I post on my Instagram about make-up. It's just that I was really to lazy to do it here. Now, I fe…

A good base is important for a flawless make-up finish. Which is why choosing a foundation that matches your skin type and your skin tone is very important. Back when I had fairer skin, choosing a foundation and a powder was quite easy. A lot of brands offer these products in light shades. But when I became tanned and a proud moren…
