SEPTEMBER HAUL!

Instead of doing my September favorites, I decided to blog about my September haul instead.  Just a few hours ago, me and my mother and my younger sister went to our "suki", who sells 100% AUTHENTIC make-up for a much lesser price. Her name is Chedelyn. You can check their facebook page here.

These are all the items we bought.

She also sells accessories, make-up tools, nail polishes, authentic bags and sunglasses, hair colors and a lot more. 

EXCEL PARIS LONGLASTING 24HRS

I didn't want to buy one of this but my sister insisted we try it for ourselves. I actually saw some korean shops selling  Excel Paris for only 25 pesos! I think they sell the fake ones. I don't know. I'm not familiar with Paris Excel. I wanted the pink one but it was out of stock, so I settled for this shade. I got this for P60. I think the original price was P90.

 It looks orangey from the packaging but when I tried it on my lips, it looks red. Similar with my Ever Bilena matte lipstick in Scarlet. Maybe I'll do a review on this one soon.

NYX XTREME LIP CREAM

I've always wanted to try this one! It's similar with the Sleek Pout Paints but with different packaging. This one's way more affordable than the Sleek ones.I got it for only P250, or was it P290? I forgot. I bought the shade in Dolly Girl. I super love  the color! I'm so excited to do a review on this one soon. 

MAYBELLINE NY  BABY LIPS 

I love the packaging because it's different from the ones sold here in the Philippines. I got it for only P100.

REVLON LUSCIOUS GROW MASCARA

I ran out of my mascara and I waned to try a different brand aside from my usual choice which is Maybelline.  I don't know if this will be a good mascara. It claims to improve the growth of  eyelashes. I have super short and sparse lashes. I hope this baby wouldn't fall me. I got this one for only P200! I'm so happy that I got it for a very cheaper price. They sold it as such because the packaging of it was damaged according to Chedelyn's husband. I don't care how the packaging looks like, I wanted the product itself. 

This is how the wand looks like.

MAYBELLINE INSTANT AGE REWIND FOUNDATION

I ran out of my usual foundation and decided to try this one for a change.I got the shade in 130 Buff Beige. 

My purchase.

PACKAGE!

My first ever make-up related package I received in my entire awesome life. Will do a review on the items soon. Thanks to Miss Thiamere! :))

After opening the package, I grabbed the bubble wrap first and popped every single spot. HAHA

What's inside:

Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks in Summer Sunset and Pink Peach

Etude House Eyebrow Kit

extra freebies she sent: Tony Moly Sample BB Cream and a purifying mask

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! :*

MY CURRENT FOUNDATION ROUTINE

Hello Everyone! What's your foundation routine? Do we really need to wear foundation every single day? Well, in my case I don't apply foundation every time I go out. Lucky for me, I don't get to experience acne breakouts. My only problem are my whiteheads on my under eyes and open pores. Ugh. I wanted to share to you ladies my current foundation routine. What I love about it is that, it gives me that flawless look after applying these products. Keep on reading! :)

These products are what I'm currently using as my foundation routine. All products are locally available and very affordable too. I tend to change my face powder like every 2 to 3 months I guess, because I love to explore more options and find out what suits my face.

Here it goes!

Step 1: Moisturize and Protect!

Especially with the humid weather here in the Philippines, we really really need to moisturize. This step depends on your concern with regards to your skin type. I have a normal to dry skin so for me, I use heavy duty moisturizer that will do the job of hydrating my dry skin. I'm using the Nivea Sun Moisturizing Protect ( i'll be posting a review on this product soon) . All throughout the day, my T zone area tends to be oily, while around my mouth and nose is where I occasionally peel.

For me, we really have to invest much on our moisturizers because this will help our skin look younger as we age. Olay products are known for their anti- aging moisturizers, and I think I will be trying one out after I ran out on my current moisturizer. Now for make- up primers or base, I'm using IWhite Korea face cream. Review here. Primers are used before you apply your foundation to help it adhere onto your skin and tends to last longer all throughout the day. Primers are not really a must-have, but it really helps to even out wrinkles and fine lines which is a bonus for us ladies!

Step 2: Apply Foundation

Step 2 is all about applying foundation. I'm currently using this product from Maybelline, the Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Foundation. I'm in the shade 0- Light. I love this product because it covers all my imperfections without giving me that heavy make- up look. My pores on my cheeks are less visible, and it's very subtle on my skin! It stays on my face for hours too. It's so sad to hear that this product is discontinued. Why oh why?? If you have dry skin like mine, why don't you try the water technique? I call it that, but it really works for me if I want to achieve that dewy look! Use a sponge or your fave foundation brush, spray some H20 on it and dot it on your foundation, then gently with patting motions apply it on your face. Obviously, it's kinda hard if you use your bare hands on this technique. It tends to get messy. Hate hate.

Step 3: Conceal

After applying my foundation, I usually apply concealer on my under eyes and on some other areas that needs to be concealed. I'm currently using Koshize Concealer, I'm in the shade CK 1. I like this product because it covers really well and it's not dry like most concealers I've used before. I also use once in a while the Elf Concealer, but I don't like the shade of it because it's too dark for me. I love concealers that are 1 shade lighter than me, because when I apply it on my under eyes it gives me brighter looking eyes.

Step 4: Apply Powder

My last step, would be applying powder. Some would have Contour and Blush as their fourth step but I don't contour my face. Maybe soon, I'll try experimenting and see how it looks on me. Well, anyway my current face powder would be the Fanny Serrano Two- Way Cake Foundation. This is actually my sister's but I borrowed it from here since she has lots of foundation powders already and obviously napogpog na because of his makulit na baby boy. I've heard a lot of good reviews from other beauty enthusiasts, and they were all right! It covers really well, it doesn't feel heavy and it even contains Vitamin E that softens and nourishes the skin. It's very affordable too, for only 399 pesos.

So that's it for my foundation routine! I guess I will be changing my liquid foundation as soon as I hit the last drop of it, since my current is discontinued. Boo! And also my face powder because obviously, I'm almost hitting the pan already. It's so sad that it isn't available here in Iligan. I might search for online shops for another buy.

How about you, what's your foundation routine?? Do you have specific techniques in applying it? Share it, I might get some ideas from you too. I hope this post helped you out!

Have a fabulous day everyone! :*

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 ;*
