AUGUST FAVORITES!

Yeah, you read the title right. I know it's so late for me to post about my August favorites but, oh well.

Here's a quick post!

SanSan Concealer

Ever since I heard Miss MaricarlJanah of Youtube rave about this product, I had to try it myself! I use it as a highlight under my eyes and on the bridge of my nose. I bought the lightest shade, which is in Natural. I like that it's creamy and it has SPF too! Great product for a very affordable prize!

The packaging wasn't that bad either. It's very handy!

EOS Lip Balm

My favorite yummy EOS lip balm. I'm in love with the packaging! It's so cute! And it really moisturizes my dry lips. And it smells like candy too!

Hair products: Pantene Conditioner in Total Damage Care, Dove Advance Color Care Illuminizing Mist

Since I have very dry hair, and I think it REALLY is severely damaged. (I think it started when I bleached and dyed my hair early this year). I love the smell! And it did soften and smoothen my dry locks. Although i still have falling hair. I already ran out of the bottle, and I think I will be trying out another product. Tresseme maybe? :) Second hair product is Dove's Illumizing mist for color treated hair. I spray it all over with my hair still wet. I like it because it detangles my hair my unruly hair.
Eye Products: AVON Perfect Eyebrow pencil in Dark Brown, Etude House Eyebrow Kit

I use both of these products for my brow routine. But I'm planning to try the Sansan eye brow pencil in 03, which was raved by some make-up gurus in Youtube.

Hand and Body Lotions: Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow, Victoria's Secret Such A Flirt

I'm inn love with the smell! Both smells so sweet and feminine. I like the Vaseline lotion because it really smells like cocoa. And it's very hydrating to my skin.

Face:Nivea Visage Sparkling White Whitening Cleansinhg Foam

I'm actually blogging in class right now and our istructor kept warning us not to use the internet. Hence, my very short description on some products. Just comment down below if you wnat me to do reviews on some products. Ciao! :*

MAKE-UP LOOK: Plum Smokey Eyes

Hey everyone! This will be my first make-up tutorial post, so please bear with me on this! I was so bored the whole afternoon because of the scheduled brownout from where I live. And so I asked my nephew's Yaya Charity to model for me. I wanted to practice myself more on doing make-up on different people, since it's very easy for me to do it on myself. Obviously, I would know every single detail on my face that needs covering and enhancing.

So here's the look:

Smile! :)

She was so excited to pose for the camera! ;)

Here's what I used:

FACE:

Shawill BB Cream, Maybelline Clear Smooth All-in-one

EYES:

Shawill Eyeshadow Pallete, Nichido E/S palette

Nichido Eye Liner in Medium brown, Fashion21 Liquid liner, Maybelline Volume Express Mascarra

CHEEKS:

E.L.F. Studio Line Duo Blush and Bronzer, Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Mosaic Bronzer

I used the VS Bronzer to contour her nose

LIPS:

Ever Bilena Matte L/S in Scarlette and Ever Bilena Deluxe L/S Nude

I mixed both to achieve a warm coral shade.

Yaya was so happy, she felt like a celebrity daw! I had so much fun playing as her make-up artist! Hahaha I wanted to practice more on smokey looks since I find it difficult to achieve. It's always easier with the neutral looks, anyone can pull it off !

So, how'd you like the look on her? Nay or Yay??

Please do comment or suggest make-up tutorials that you wanted me to do for you girls! :))

Have a good night and GOD BLESS! :*

APRIL HAUL

Last April 14, me and my family went to Cagayan de Oro City to raid the mall! SM had their 3 Day sale, so we went there on the second day. Our journey to the land of discounted cosmetics was not easy, I tell you. Haha * journey jud!*  Apparently, the beautiful city of Libertad(i think?) is having a road construction. It was one hell of a bumpy road, but despite that obstacle we had to go through, it was sooo woth it. So, anyways.. I bought myself some cosmetics since I ran out of em.     

Here are the photos with swatches :

My mini haul! I bought it all at Watson's Limketkai.

A BONNE MILK POWER LIGHTENING LOTION + COLLAGEN

This had to be one of the best whitening lotions I've ever used . A Bonne is known for their wide variety of whitening products. I remember the first product I bought  was the A Bonne Spa Milk Salt. Anyway, I love the fact that I get 5 benefits in just one bottle! This concentrate milk lotion protects my skin from UV rays and it gives me a healthy glow. It is light, non-greasy and easily absorbed into the skin. It is specially formulated with Lacticare Milk Power and Collagen which are gentle to my skin. I love how it deeply moisturizes my skin and eliminates dryness and restores lasting radiance. It also has special skin nutrients that will stimulate skin cells which gives me that bright looking skin and restore elasticity and firmness! This is my second purchase of this product. I forgot how much it is, but I think it's around P120-130 for the 300 ml bottle.

NICHIDO LEG MAKE-UP  BRONZE

I saw this product first when Watson's Iligan branch opened. I was hesitant on buying it, thinking that I  would be wasting my money over it. But when I was browsing Youtube about reviews on the product, it was all positive feedback. So I bought myself one bottle! Sadly... I got the wrong shade. It's in bronze,  which doesn't match my skin color at all! It's darker, and when I blend it on my skin it's very obvious that I put something on it. Boohoo. But I like how it stays on the skin, it isn't dry and sticky. It's only P80  for 50ml. I think I'm going to buy another one, and this time I'll make sure I pick the right shade! :)

It looks lighter on camera but, actually it really is darker than my skin color.

NICHIDO EYE PENCIL 803 BROWN

I bought a new one since I ran out of it, so I got the brown shade since the medium brown was a bit too dark for my brows. 

It doesn't come with a brush. tss

Swatch

MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL IN PINK PETAL

I bought this one simply because I love pink. I was asking the sales lady if they have a tester on it but sadly they ran out of it. At first I was skeptical, because I don't want to waste my money *thriftshopper kahit on sale*. Still, I bought it. AND I regret buying it. I specifically don't love lipsticks with shimmer on it. I don't like how it looks on my lips. :S

NICHIDO MAKE-UP COLLECTION PALLETE

I got this for only P100! So affordable! The colors are okay, it comes with 8 shades of eye shadows and 2 shades of blusher, obviously. It's funny why they labeled it as MATTED when it actually has visible shimmer on it. As far I know, matted eyeshadows don't have shimmer on it. O.o

I'll be posting soon on my first look using this palette and the other products that I bought! :)))

It comes with a free liquid eye liner! :)

I am totally not loving the tip because it's not firm, it's too soft and it makes it hard for me to line my lid properly. 

I like how it easily dries on the lid.

I forgot the swatches on the blushers. Sareee. Hihihi

EXTRA HAUL: LACE COLLAR

Collar necklaces are so popular now. I am actually making my own detachable collars now, and I'll be posting about as soon as I finish all of it! I got this at Robinson's Department Store for only P149.50. It's cheaper than those I saw at online stores in Facebook.

That's it for my mini haul! I guess it's more of a PRODUCTS I REGRET BUYING entry. haha!

God Bless everyone! Goodnight ;*
