Hey guys!<br />
<br />
Hello hello! I haven't blogged in soo looonnnggg....I don't know where to begin. Hmmm...so as you can see from the picture above, I have a baby! She was born May 6th and her name is Reigan. As of now, she is 3 months old and can be quite a handful already. She is the one the inspired me to blog again and now, I will be writing not only about makeup but about being a mom as well. I am very excited and very happy as I face this new chapter of my life. I know it will be hard but hopefully I'd be able to survive it.<br />
<br />
Cheers!!!<br />

Hi guys!This past few months has been very busy for me. There were a lot of major changes that happened and I 'm so glad that I was able to sort things out and I am finally able to sit down and write a post about something that I have been crazy about for months since I got it. I am pretty excited actually because if you have been following me on Instagram, you would see that I wear this often. So without further adieu, here is my swatch and review of the LIME CRIME VELVETINE in PINK VELVET. :)<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Just like the two other Lime Crime velvetines, Pink Velvet is also in a thick, see-through glass tube and you can really see the color. I kind of like this type of packaging because I don't have to check the lid and I can easily see what product I'm getting. Another thing,the brush is shorter compared to the other two velvetines. The brush easily fits the contours of my lips which makes application much easier.</span></span><br />

It is a very vibrant dark pink color.It is very opaque. and pigmented. I do admit that it can be tricky at first but once you get the hang of it, application is super easy. One swipe is enough but if you want to layer it some more, you have to wait a few seconds until it is dry then you can apply the next layer. Like the previous ones, it is glossy at first but becomes completely matte after a few seconds. Do note that it is a little difficult to remove. In my case I use a wetwipe with a little bit of makeup remover or petroleum jelly to thoroughly erase the product from my lips. Since it is very matte, it can be drying and does settle on the lines of the lips. Applying a thin layer of lip balm lessens the dryness without affecting the longevity and color pay off of the product.<br />
<br />
It is very flattering on most skin tones. At first, I was a little hesitant to wear it because it seems too loud for me bur after awhile, I felt comfortable and it has never left my "kikay" kit ever since I first used it.<br />
<br />
<br />
LASTING POWER<br />
<br />
One thing that I love the most about Velvetines is their lasting power! I mean..it is just amazing!It can last me for more than 6 hours. I can drink water and eat a sandwich without worrying that it will come off. I do notice that when I eat something oily, a little bit comes off. I don't eat at work though, I just drink water and I can be working for 4 hours to 8 hours straight without retouching and it does not come off. I don't have any problems with peeling either I would not say that it looks exactly the same though because the inner parts of my mouth do look a little bit lighter as compared to the edges.<br />

<br />
AVAILABILITY/PRICE:<br />
<br />
Well, it is a little bit pricey than other lipsticks but I really don't mind because I get something that is very opaque and long-lasting. It is quite difficult to get them though, because they are always sold out on the website but there are other online stores on Facebook and Instagram that re-sell them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
OVERALL THOUGHTS:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I like:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-sturdy packaging</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-nice color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-very long-lasting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- very opaque</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some issues:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-can be a little drying to the lips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- a little difficult to remove</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-can emphasize the lines on the lips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I recommend it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
YES! It it is truly worth the price.</div>

1. Tapered Fluffy bronzing/blush brush<br />
This brush is great for applying blush. It is very soft and fluffy! This is my sister's fave brush. It does not pick up a lot of the product but blends is able to blend it well on the cheeks. It is also a great bronzing brush because it distributes the product evenly especially on the forehead and jawline.<br />

I use this brush to blend the edges of my eyeshadow. It is able blend well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Fluffy Blending Brush</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use this brush to blend my crease area. The bristles are long and soft so it is perfect for applying/blending eyeshadows in the crease area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Dense Blending Brush</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not really sure if that it how it is called but I noticed that this brush is much more dense and I prefer so it is not good for blending eyeshadows. I prefer using this to blend my concealer and it is perfect!</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

10. Lip Brush/Concealer Brush<br />
<br />
I am not sure if this is a concealer brush or a lip brush, but I use this to apply lipcolor.<br />
<br />
OVERALL THOUGHTS:<br />
<br />
What I like:<br />
<br />
<ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Affordable</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Nice, sturdy handles</li>

Hi there! My gosh… I can’t believe I was not able to blog
for so long. My January to February schedule has been sooo C-R-A-Z-Y!! I cannot
wait to finish all the things that I need to do so that I can blog regularly
again. I have so many stuff to tell you guys that they keep on piling and
looking at my makeup storage makes me feel anxious. I have a lot of unopened stuff
ad things that I haven’t used but and has been sitting there for almost a
month. I just wish I have more time! For the meantime, I have this clever idea
that instead of reviewing one item, I decided to group them especially if I got
them together and then add a short review and swatches. That way, I don’t have
to dedicate a lot of time and effort in writing about just one product and you,
my dear reader won’t have to spend a lot of time and effort to read about just
one item. Do I make sense? I really hope I do…..</div>

Anyway, today’s haul/mini review is all about WetnWild. I
got them about a month ago from my mom. She is currently in the US so it is
easy for her to get this stuff. I don’t have a lot of <a href="http://wnwbeauty.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Wetnwild</span></a> products but I do
have some of their eyshadow palletes and I love them. In the Philippines, there
are not a lot of stores that carry WetnWild products. I do see some Facebook
shops that sell them but usually, they only have 1 or 2 item per product so if
you see one you like then you have buy it asap. However, if you like WetnWild
products, I think one of the<span style="color: blue;"> <a href="http://www.zalora.com.ph/" target="_blank">best place to buy is </a></span><i><a href="http://www.zalora.com.ph/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Zalora</span></a>, </i>since they do have a bunch of <a href="http://wnwbeauty.com/" target="_blank">WetnWild</a> products there, plus
its free shipping so you (and I) might
want to check their site.</div>

<br />
Wow! Time flies soo fast! I can't believe that it's 2014!. 2013 has brought me a lot of blessings and wonderful experiences that I will never forget. One of them is of course being one of the Avon Blogger Council member. Sadly, December is our last month and I feel bad because I haven't reviewed a lot of their products. Nevertheless, I promised myself to do more posts about Avon products since I had the opportunity to receive goodies from them! I'm sure that a lot of my Filipina readers would want to know what products from Avon I highly recommend.<br />
<br />
As my first post this year, here are the stuff the I have received from Avon for the month of November and December. I was not able to post the November products because I just got them together with the December products. So here are pictures of the stuff that I got!!<br />
<br />

These babies are sparkly lipsticks. They're small and skinny and the packaging looks really elegant and nice. Some are quite sheer and others are pigmented enough. I will do a separate review on these on my next blog post.<br />
<br /></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these. They're really cute and I don't own a lot of eyeshadow pencils so I think these can be use as a base or a cream eyeshadow on their own.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oohh...excited to try these too! I love eyeliners so this will definitely spice things up a bit. They seem fragile though, like they might break or something.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They look promising right? They are very pigmented and I have used the red one and the mauve-y one and they definitely made my lipstick last longer.</div>

I have only tried one or two of them so far, but they seem to be good and not sticky at all. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I went to the AVON branch to get my stuff, the manager was excited to show me this. He told me to open the box because he was very proud of this product. I was quite impressed actually. The packaging is really good and sturdy. There were a variety of colors inside. My favorites were the blush colors. Can't wait to do a separate post on this too!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually have two, one was black and the other one was brown. I immediately fell in love with the brown that's why it is currently lost in my purse/makeup bag/ makeup cabinet and so I was not able to take a picture of it. Hopefully, I can do a separate post of this too!</div>

Soo..that was it! By the way, what did you get for Christmas? I wanted to buy more makeup but since I got a lot of stuff from Avon, I decided to forego ( for now..) until I was able to try using all of them. I sometimes feel that I have a lot of makeup..but then again.. a girl can never have too much makeup right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, thank you for reading my post! Hope you have a great year!! </div>

Hi everyone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I left for New Zealand, I had a connecting flight in Hongkong and I had to wait there for 6 hours! So, what does a girl do in place where there were lots of makeup stores that sell products at a cheaper price? Shop of course!! MAC was actually the stall where I spent more than an hour. I asked the lady there to put makeup on me...and I ended up boarding my plane looking oh-so-fab with a super red lipstick on! Hahaha... This lipstick caught my eye because I have been looking for a nude lipstick that would compliment my skin color and not wash me out. So, was I happy with this purchase? Read on!!</div>

It is a cremesheen lipstick so I know that it won't be matte. Personally, I prefer nude lipsticks to be a little shiny or glossy because it looks more natural and moisturizing. I have super dry lips so I don't use a lot of matte lipsticks.<br />

It is a nude color that is more on the coral-peachy side. I am medium skin tones so I find that this lipstick does not wash me out and does not make me look like I lost a lot of blood. It just gives my lips a nice nude color. It is opaque and I only have to swipe once or twice to get a good color pay-off. It is a little but dry though and if I don't moisturize or exfoliate my lips, the color tends to settle on on lines of my lips.I use this almost everyday and it looks great on smoky eyes and is good for everyday. It also lasts long, like I can wear this for 405 hours and it is still there. It does transfer though so the lasting power really depends on whether you eat, drink or kiss.. I also like putting this on top of my pink lipliner or any lipliner to make it last a bit longer.<br />

THOUGHTS:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I like:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-good color pay off</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- suits dark skin tones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- no pungent or strong smell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- lasts about 4-5 hours</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some issue:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-can be a little drying</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- a little expensive (in my case.. hehe)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would love to but more lippies from MAC. I love this lipstick and I definitely recommend this to medium to dark skin tones girls. </div>

<br />
Is anyone here excited for Christmas? I know I am! Sadly, this year's Christmas might be a little different and maybe less jolly than the previous years. Philippines was hit by a huge typhoon killing thousands of people and leaving other thousands homeless. Nevertheless, life is about moving on and taking each day one day at a time. I know, little by little things will be okay and time will heal all wounds.<br />
<br />
On a lighter note, I decided to film more makeup videos since this is the time of they ear where everyone gets together and celebrate. I created this particular look because I just love purple on brown eyes. I have brown eyes so I know for a fact the purple really compliments the color of my eyes. I used just a bit of blush to bring color to my cheeks and a pink/peach lipcolor. At first, I thought it will look to overwhelming to pair dramatic eyes and colored lips but I think they both looked nice together. I did not use too much blush so my face still looked fresh and put together.<br />

Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my video. In case, you do not know, Philippines was recently struck by one of the strongest typhoon ever. There were thousands dead and homeless. Water, food and medicine is scarce. If you would like to help, Red Cross has a way for concerned citizens like to you to donate any amount through Paypal. Any money you give will be used to give aid to these people. Just choose "SuperTyphoon Yolanda" on the campaign section. Thank you very much!</div>

<br />
In case you don't know, I am a part of Avon Philippines blogger Council and they sent me a few of their products to try out. Unfortunately, most products were makeup and DHL don't allow those kind of products to be shipped. so I ended up getting their "One Bra". You could only imagine my disappointment.?! To be honest, I do not see myself a good writer so forgive me if this post is kinda off, but I am going to try my best to put my thoughts into writing. :)<br />
<br />
A woman's underwear can make or break her outfit,so a bra's structure and support level is very very important. I am what kind of "well-endowed" for my frame ( I am 36-C) and some bras just don't offer support or sometimes the underwire is super uncomfortable. I am also very self-conscious about it so I don't like showing my cleavage that much. I am very picky and I never wear bra without underwires. I don't like the "bouncing" effect..hahaha!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here is what I think about this "one Bra" by Avon. I have worn it for 3 times in about 8 days just so that I can give a good feel of it.<br />
<br />
What it says on the website:<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">The "One Bra" is made of a soft, stretchable material and does have padding. It does have any wires but the wide "cup" and padding makes up for it. I even wore it when I went jogging and it was not uncomfortable at all. It offered me just right amount of support. I was also surprised by how snug it was. It is so nice when worn over fitting shirts and blouses because it does not have any weird bulging. I am kind of uncomfortable showing my cleavage so I also like wearing this when I wear shirts with low-neckline. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Hmmm...I am trying to figure out what I don't like about this bra...because I love it! If only I could wear this everyday! (Which I can't because of hygienic reasons..) I wish it came in a black color as well so that I can wear this with dark shirts. But all in all...I just love it! I think it is a great buy and I am so thankful I was sent this to try out. </span><br />

Do I recommend this? Heck yeah! </div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sorry for being MIA lately, I had a trouble with my laptop and I was so so busy! Anyway, here is another review for you guys! ♥</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I admit that I love foundations..I rarely go out without wearing a light foundation. My friends used to tease me, " Foundation day ba ngayun?" (Is today your Foundation day?)...because I sometimes have super cake-y face due to too much foundation! Hahaha..I don't know why, a lot of people say I have good skin and I don't need to much but, it is an obsession of mine and now, that I'm older (hopefully wiser!) I tend to look for products that will look natural and can cover/conceal my dark circles and imperfections without putting too much. If you have seen my previous videos you will see that I am obsessed with this foundation! I have seen Ms Say Tioco rave about this...anyway.. here is my review:</div>

As you can see, it provides medium to heavy coverage depending on how much you apply. Be sure to use a stiff brush and blend well to avoid streaks. </div>

One layer is enough to cover my dark circles and even out my skin tone. At first, I thought it was really white for me and I noticed that it does oxidize after a few minutes and matched my skin tone. There is a minimal white cast, just be sure to blend a small amount on your neck as well.The finish is definitely not matte but it not too dewy as well. It does feel heavy but I do feel that I have product on my face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It evened out my skin tone!</div>

Longevity:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not apply any setting powder to see if it will make me oily because I feel that cream foundations can make my skin oily. I went to work and it was night time and it was a little humid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is me after a few hours. I DID became a little oily but it was not too much. As you can see, the foundation is still there but it did settle on the lines under eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
MY THOUGHTS:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Packaging:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The packaging for me is so-so. Not so good but not so bad either. It gets dirty easily and it would have been better if it came with a mirror. I have dropped mine more than 10 times but it did break so one good this is that it is sturdy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Formulation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like other cream foundation,it is better to warm the product first before application to make blending easily. I use a damp sponge or a super dense brush to apply it all my face. It is very buildable and give light to medium coverage. You really have to blend it thoroughly and make sure to blend it down your neck. I find that this when you take a picture with flash, there is a slight white cast and if you were not able to blend it thoroughly, you will end up with super uneven ("looking") skin. It does not dry matte and can be a little dewy so if you have oily skin, it is best to set it with a setting powder. It also oxidizes after sometime so at first it may look too light on me but after a while, it matches my skin tone. As for the smell, it actually does not have any strong odor. I sniffed it closely and I think it smelled like candles or wax. The smell is not bothersome at all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Price:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really cannot argue about the price because it is very affordable and Pinkies Collection are found in almost all SM department stores. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lasting Power:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see from the picture above, it does last quite well given the humid weather in the Philippines. I ride jeepneys most of the time and I can get sweaty but I find that my foundation is intact (unless of course, I wipe it off). I would say that it can last from 4-6 hours depending of course on where you are and what you do. It does last longer when worn with primer and setting powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-affordable</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-gives a good coverage ( light to medium)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-lasts long</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-no strong odor</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-did not break me out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-evens out my skin tone ( when blended well)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-not patchy and good for dry to normal skin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some issues:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-slight white cast</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- comes in only 3 shades</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are looking for a nice foundation for work or for everyday, I highly recommend this. Just be sure to blend it thoroughly especially when you use it at night for parties/special occasions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have read my previous posts, you might know that I am more of an eye shadow person than lipstick or blush. I just think that they all look the same and I was very intimidated with bright colored lipsticks. I was more into nudes and MLBBs. This year, my goal is to expand my lipstick collection and I do have quite a few already. So I was really happy when I became one of Avon's blogger council member because I got to try some of their products! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And today,I am reviewing one of their best sellers, which is the Ultra Color Rich Lipstick line. This is looonng overdue! I was not able to find my memory card but good thing I was able to find it.</div>

<b><i>Tangerine Tango:</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9I_EF0iAiIlypMDROEsYHiIHZG6RXh6wT8nSXraRlr-ivdZ4_swO0juxY2hBBVABBMuMYMs3NpTRXLl3WkTCXqxH4bvQtuJZc7J44sbnifsUCljpiER2DnjRdK0Y4ZfSXEMqflYOgyyE/s1600/tangerine+tango.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9I_EF0iAiIlypMDROEsYHiIHZG6RXh6wT8nSXraRlr-ivdZ4_swO0juxY2hBBVABBMuMYMs3NpTRXLl3WkTCXqxH4bvQtuJZc7J44sbnifsUCljpiER2DnjRdK0Y4ZfSXEMqflYOgyyE/s640/tangerine+tango.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
When I first saw this in the brochure, this immediately caught my eye. I prefer orangey-peachy colors to reds and pinks so I thought I will get this one. This it is such a pretty intense color. For me, it is like a vintage orange color. I find this difficult to pull off actually. But it looks nice on most skin colors. Sometimes, I just use my fingers to dab the color all over my lips for a nice stained look.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Hibiscus</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit8D7ik1zCvm5mCcvqFXVWYWveIayXWxRPBmBSrOKa9ZEaxgkf6zFirVFgumx2A_BxzB2H8OHGLl3Gnh0L8vijUCAbmj17ZUXK2J9xHbiTrOrcOVa054ziLju4-7ROsCzv8cqIb8VcHXU/s1600/hibiscus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit8D7ik1zCvm5mCcvqFXVWYWveIayXWxRPBmBSrOKa9ZEaxgkf6zFirVFgumx2A_BxzB2H8OHGLl3Gnh0L8vijUCAbmj17ZUXK2J9xHbiTrOrcOVa054ziLju4-7ROsCzv8cqIb8VcHXU/s640/hibiscus.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
This is a pretty light pink color with a mauve undertone. I saw this first on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/saytiocoartillero" target="_blank">Say Tioco</a> and she looked divine! I think this color looks best on light skinned girls.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Berry Bright</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBOIbYbzMjAyMkQ17CUkAYb7uj3yHzDAO7beZAv1LZz3OQNB4_nqegleZj8Y2zayBbVhY1j5cLU3kvYgVI_CXywwG9df1YbNyTZHkQChnhmYKaFWLdHDBjon27Cmw5-x5GjbzJaReRuY/s1600/berry+bright.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBOIbYbzMjAyMkQ17CUkAYb7uj3yHzDAO7beZAv1LZz3OQNB4_nqegleZj8Y2zayBbVhY1j5cLU3kvYgVI_CXywwG9df1YbNyTZHkQChnhmYKaFWLdHDBjon27Cmw5-x5GjbzJaReRuY/s1600/berry+bright.jpg" /></a></div>
Berry bright, as the name says, is a berry pink color. It is quite pigmented and on the tube it looks just a bit darker than hibiscus. The color is very nice and would compliment any skin tone.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Knockout Pink</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi96oxtQuTx94w2eqFQZ9ave8Eg9iZNP6spiJbADSX-pdfGchaoS_lDvTWU4fIBszLR791qjvRl7q-sj9s8tVQpf5YjIA5VbTswJ4SLlBzjjbBgiZTHm2HJr6AWy4yYorl1f2e11Q5M_M/s1600/knockout+pink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi96oxtQuTx94w2eqFQZ9ave8Eg9iZNP6spiJbADSX-pdfGchaoS_lDvTWU4fIBszLR791qjvRl7q-sj9s8tVQpf5YjIA5VbTswJ4SLlBzjjbBgiZTHm2HJr6AWy4yYorl1f2e11Q5M_M/s1600/knockout+pink.jpg" /></a></div>
When I looked at the tube, I was like.."this aint pink..it's brown!". But when swatched, it does look pink with a dark fuschia undertone. On me, this looks like my-lips-but-better. I think this color will show up better on fair-skinned girls as well. Of the four that I got, this one for me is great for everyday.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Thoughts:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Packaging:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The packaging is okay. They came in a standard black tube with a metal band in the middle. The top of the tube is clear but for me, it does not make much of a difference because the lip product is not high enough for me to see which color is it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Formulation:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see from my swatches above, they are not matte so they don't settle on the lines of my lips easily. They glide on easily and feels smooth and creamy but not too much. Except for Tangerine Tango, they are quite moisturizing too. The colors are quite pigmented so one swipe is okay. For the smell, they smell sweet but it's light so it's not something that I really notice when I put them on. However, it is best to keep them in room temperature or a little colder since they have a tendency to melt or maybe it was just mine because my vanity used to in front of a window. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Lasting Power</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On me, they lasted about 3-4 hours before fading depending on whether I eat or not. They do leave a nice stain (especially Tangerine Tango) so they don't get erased completely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Price</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For P375,(one mone to pay!) it is very affordable. Avon ladies are everywhere (in the Philippines, I guess) so it is not difficult to find them. Sometimes, Avon have sales where you can get the lipsticks for less, so better be on the lookout. :)<br />
<br />

Are you a fan of eyeshadows? I for one is suuppperrr addicted! I am not a lipstick person nor a blush person but I am an " eyeshadow" person..if there is one! I just feel like one can never have too much eyeshadows..hahaha.. Back in college, I've been known to wear green and purple eyeshadows in school. When I was in Manila, I went to Suesh in Market!Market! just to browse around and see what's inside the store. I saw that they are also selling invidual eyeshadows and of course being an "eyeshadow" addict that I am, I immediately bought the shades that I really liked.<br />
<br />
Product Info:<br />
*Individual eye shadow<br />
Price: P90 each ( approx US $2.09)<br />
Bought from:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Suesh-Makeup-Toolkit/230391965594" target="_blank"> Suesh</a> located at Market Market!<br />
<br />
Here are the shades that I bought:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Shade: 62</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my sister's favorite among the three and I can easily see why. It is a dark pink with shimmer. I picked this one because I do not have this shade and I think this will look good on my most skin colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Shade: E010</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is kind of a boring color but definitely a staple. A light beige shade like this is a good all-over-the-eyelid color or can be used as a highlighter under the brows. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Shade: E011</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is just a matte orange color. I currently do not have something like this in my collection and I figured that this will look good as a crease color. I have not used this a lot yet....but I do plan to use this in a tutorial. I also think this will look good on top of an orange lipstick to make that lipstick matte. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all, the eyes hadows are good quality. They have very minimal fall out and quite pigmented. I also like the fact that they aren't too powdery and quite compact. My sister and I have tried these shadows and they last long on the lids and has very minimal creasing even without a primer. </div>

They are packaged individually and you can buy empty palettes there as well. As for me, I only bought three and I think the plastic "container" that it came with is durable enough. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will definitely buy more from there store once I get back to Manila and I highly recommend this to those who are looking for good quality yet not so pricey eye shadows. :)</div>

Anyway, here is a video of my haul with my twin sister. <i> </i>I have not uploaded a video recently because I was a little busy but I did buy quite a number of stuff and I'm quite excited to make tutorial and more reviews soon!</div>

I remember asking my hubby about clothes to bring here in New Zealand and he told me that it is spring time when I arrive so I don't need to bring thick clothes. So of course I believed him! And how wrong I was! My gosh...sooo cold! Though the sun is shining, it is very windy and the wind is ICY cold! </div>

Technology has indeed made our lives easier and in my case, I did not have to travel several miles from New Zealand to the Philippines for me to attend a skin care talk with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AvonPhilippines" target="_blank">Avon's</a> Anew Skin Care Expert. Ms. Agoo Bengzon. I was able to participate and ask questions in the comforts of my room while sipping hot tea! Last Friday, Ms Bengzon gave a talk via live chat and answered some of women's (and men's)skin care questions and because I am such a good listener (naks!), here are some of the skin care tips that I have learned from Ms Agoo!<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Think of skin care as your "me" time, much like a spa treatment. Remember: YOU deserve it, so take your time!</li>
<li>For pregnant women, make sure to use SPF because you're more prone to pigmentation.</li>
<li>Apply sunscreen/spf BEFORE makeup. </li>
<li>When choosing SPF lotion/cream, look for those with SPF 30 or higher.</li>
<li>Your neck needs love too! So make sure to include it during your skin care routine.</li>
<li>When choosing skin products, look for those with antioxidants, retinol and vitamin C.</li>
<li>Taking vitamin supplements can speed up the effect of your skin care products.</li>
<li>Puffy eyes? Stay away from caffeine and salty food because they can cause water retention. Rule of thumb: drink 2 glasses of water for every 1 cup of coffee!</li>
<li>Tip for applying eyecream: Eyecreams are absorbed upwards so instead of directly applying it on your eyebags, apply it below your eyebags to ensure that it will reach your undereye area and not your eyes! And oh! Don't forget to use your pinky fingers for lighter application. :)</li>
<li>Getting confused with your skin care routine? Apply lighter products first since they are easily absorbed by the skin. Example: serum->light moisturizer->heavy cream.</li>
<li>Truth alert: It is almost impossible to shrink your pores! They are there to stay baby! However, you can use clarifying cleansers and exfoliate at least once a week to remove dirt and oil since they are the reason why your pores look more visible.</li>
<li>For men, it is better to use gel-based products since their skin tend to be oilier than women. (This also applies to those with oily skin)</li>
<li>When exfoliating, be easy on the cheek and concentrate more on the T-zone area.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Soooo that was it guys! I hope you learn a thing or two! Thank you to Ms Agoo Bengzon for sharing her knowledge and to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AvonPhilippines" target="_blank">Avon PH</a> for having this kind of event.</div>

<br />
I'm here for a different post. It has been a while since I have posted a non beauty related post and to be honest my mind is just not working right now . I wanted to inspire myself back into writing so I decided to write something different today. I am now currently in Rotorua, New Zealand for vacation and it is such a beautiful place (minus the cold). I kinda wish I brought my trusty dslr here but unfortunately I'd have to make do with my bf's Samsung 4.<br />
<br />
I have been complaining about gaining a lot of weight since I arrived here. I think I might have gained 2 to 3 kgs in the past two weeks. I'm not kidding! The food...my gosh..the food!!hahaha It is super cold (for me!) so I had a hard time exercising as well. Due to my non stop complaints, my bf and I went out for a "walk" since I'm too lame to jog. We ended up walking for about 2 hours, then we had lunch then walked for another hour. I was so exhausted when we arrived home though. Anyway, here are the pictures that we took. It is basically composed of flowers because I was so amazed by how pretty the trees and flowers here are! Hhaha! Hope you enjoy!<br />

We saw some black swans! Black swans were imported to New Zealand form England ( I think) for ornamental purposes and now there are a lot of the swimming in the shallow areas of the lake.</div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here I am...alone and bored! Hahha... My bf is out on work so I'm here trying my best to get something out of my brain. I really gotta do more posts..right? I wonder how other bloggers do more than one two posts a week while maintaining an 8 hour job. Anyway, I can do this!! I should motivate mysefl!! Yeah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alright! So, today, I am reviewing this foundation form Avon that I got for free from a <a href="http://patrinesthoughts.blogspot.co.nz/2013/09/avon-you-make-it-beautiful-makeup.html" target="_blank">makeup session with AVON</a>. I also got other stuff and I am going to blog some of them in my next posts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am quite excited about this foundation because when I swatched it during the event, it was very light yet gave a good amount of coverage. So after trying it out for a few weeks, here's what I think about it. :)</div>

At first, I thought the color of the product will not suit me at all because it looked grayish. But it looked nice after it was blended out.</div>

Of course, no foundation review is complete without me showing my bare face. And of course to minimize the (unpleasant) impact, I filled in my brows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As usual, my skin is dry and dull looking. </div>

I started with a three to four drops of the product. It is a little thick but I felt like the coverage is sheer so I had to put more product.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see, the finish is also very natural. It was very easy to blend and does not cake easily. It also has a dewy finish but it does not feel oily on my skin. It actually made my skin very smooth and it smells like very "fruity" which is quite different from other foundations that I have tried. </div>

It does have a little bit of white cast so remember to blend it on the neck as well.</div>

Can you see the difference? It evened out my skin tone but I think I need to apply concealer to brighten up my undereye area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My thoughts:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Packaging:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since it is in a plastic tube/bottle, I think it is quite handy and very travel friendly. It is quite small so it does not take up too much space. Another thing is that it is also quite hygienic because you have to squeeze the product out and it is also easy to control how much product you want and it is also less messy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Formula:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The foundation is very smooth and a creamy yet, it is so lightweight and thin. It made my skin feel soft and smooth after applying it. I have dry skin so it really moisturizes my skin making it feel less dry.The smell! Oh!! The smell! I really love the smell. If you are into "fruity" smell, you will love this product. The formulation is quite good, I love how it is really "invisible" and looks natural. It give light to medium coverage and is very easy to blend. You can use either your fingers or your brush with this. It does have a dewy finish and in my case, I like dabbing powder on my T-zone whenever I use this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lasting Power:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Though it is so lightweight, it can last up to 4 hours under humid weather. It really sticks to the skin making it last longer than other thicker foundations. If you work in a non-airconditioned area, then I think you have to apply your powder after 3-4 hours depending on how oily your skin can get. In my case, this can last up to 6 hours on me with minimal touch up like powdering my nose area. But of course, if you plan to go out and party then I suggest using a primer or a setting spray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Affordability/Availability:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you know an Avon lady, then it is easy to get this product. It usually costs P499 which is an okay price but make sure to look out for sales because it can retail to only P299. Either way, unless you pay cash, Avon products paid after a month so you still have one month to save on this. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- the finish is very natural</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-has a really good smell</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-lasts 4 to 6 hours</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- gives a light to medium coverage</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-great for everyday</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-super easy to blend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-great for those with dry skin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-feels light on the skin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some Issue:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-I think this only comes in two to three shades so it might not suit other skin colors (especially darker ones)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-has a dewy finish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-gives a little white cast</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- light to medium coverage so more concealing is needed if you have more blemishes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all, I love this product. It is great for everyday or on days when you're in a hurry. I recommend this to girls who have dry skin (like me!). I'm sure students, and those who don't like putting on too much makeup will love this product too! I will surely buy this again when I run out. </div>

<br />
Sorry for being MIA lately my schedule has been very off but I hope I will be able to upload posts again starting this week!<br />
<br />
Anyhoo... I recently joined the BB/CC cream bandwagon. It is funny because I almost rarely use BB/CC creams since I find their coverage too light and too oily for me. However, last August a friend of mine told me that there is an online shop in Instagram wherein you can order Korean products for less. When I checked it out, I discovered that there was an ongoing 50% sale on THe FaceShop's products! Being the "trying-to-be-thrifty" makeup junkie that I am, I was not able to restrain myself and ordered.<br />

It claims to have SPF and has a long lasting effect. Before, I have already seen this product and it got me really intrigued mostly because of the packaging and the pump.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAyINiHHmbqa7pz8cGtuL5m-3lUngDksTvcV6L_VEMrEslOpGohkKgE1H1ETJES6iS_NbkZz8EuZWZGGdkhyphenhyphenUIXMKpInlqIdWFKvc9Z4FL-tG-LKCQ4xs8jAiP_NihbyhycoOpZ6S0RnY/s1600/6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAyINiHHmbqa7pz8cGtuL5m-3lUngDksTvcV6L_VEMrEslOpGohkKgE1H1ETJES6iS_NbkZz8EuZWZGGdkhyphenhyphenUIXMKpInlqIdWFKvc9Z4FL-tG-LKCQ4xs8jAiP_NihbyhycoOpZ6S0RnY/s640/6.JPG" width="614" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically, you push the pump and product comes out of the hole in the middle. I was really surprised because the product itself is kind of white but turns a different color and when blended into the skin.</div>

As you can see, you can barely see the product since once you blend it to your skin, it changes in color. It was called "smart capsule" because of its ability to "change" and match a person's skintone.</div>

At first, I find it difficult to blend, plus the fact that I applied too much, but it really helps if you warm the product with your fingers before applying to the skin. I tried using a brush but it tends to take a while for it to change its color so I think the "warmth" from my hands are better suited for this product. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AS you can see, it really looks natural and it did brighten my face. </div>

It is not matte but it is not too oily as well. It just gives the skin some sort of glow. If you are not into that kind of finish that you should definitely use a setting powder.</div>

I like how natural the finish is. It also smells like an expensive lotion or something so that's a plus for me. It does have a minimal white cast so it is important to blend the product on your neck as well.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As mentioned, it proved a light coverage perfect for daytime or on days when you still want to look put together but you don't want to use too foundation. If you want more coverage then you can apply some concealer on your blemishes. I have tried adding this to my foundation fro a brightening effect. I have also tried applying this first to sure as a primer and it does make my foundation last longer, however, I need to set it with a good powder because it can still make my T-zone oily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- smells good</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- gives a brightening effect</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-natural finish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- the packaging is very hygienic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-a little goes a long way</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-long lasting (4-6 hours)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-has spf40 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some issues:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-a little expensive</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- does not give a matte finish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-needs to be blended well using that warmth of my fingers in order to really change the color of the produc</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-gives a very light coverage</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all, I am quite happy with this product. I actually use it almost everyday since it gives me a really natural finish. But of course, I still use a little bit of concealer on days when I have breakout or super dark circles. I recommend this to those who have the money to spend and to those who have less problem areas on the their face. This is great for school, running errands or for work.</div>

<br />
This post is going to be a looong one! I have been procrastinating for the longest time since I am not really good at writing this kind of stuff but at the same time I just don't know how to write into words the things that has happened to me lately. I was chosen as one of the Avon's blogger council and so, part of the "perks" was to be invited to attend the launching of Avon's New Makeup Line and a makeup session with their global makeup artist Lauren Andersen. I live in Iloilo so I had to fly to Manila juts to attend this event. I was very excited and anxious at the same time because this is my first "blogger" event and I see myself as this "small town girl" and I just don't know what to expect. But of course, I was excited to meet other bloggers as well.<br />
<br />
This event was held last August 23, 2013 at the Mindanao Ballroom in Sofitel Hotel and the place was really nice. I can't help but stare at EVERYTHING when I arrived there. I was so shy as well and very very unsure of myself. There were tables with two chairs and so I took a seat at the second to the last table and the things that caught my eye where the Avon products on the table. It really got me excited.<br />

When I sat on my chair, Ms Mara from Avon approached me and she was very nice and accommodating. I was feeling very shy at that time She then asked the woman sitting next to me if she could switch places with the sitting in front since she was also one of the bloggers who were chosen by Avon. Ooohh boy.. was I so glad! She turned out to be a really nice person and quite talkative as well. 'I'm soo happy I was able to sit beside her.<br />

I so envy these two ladies! They get to do the things they love and get paid for it!<br />
<br />
After the interview portion, Lauren Andersen showed us how to create two different looks using Avon's makeup line. One look was defined eyes and orange lips while the other one was more like a smokey eye with neutral lips. I was not able take pictures of the other look.... I don't know why.. :(<br />

<br />
We were also encouraged to follow what Lauren does using the Avon products provided on the table. It was my favorite part actually because we got to play with the makeup. And the best part was that all the makeup were given to us after the event. Yey!!<br />
<br />
The last part of the event was handing out of the certificates and of course, photo session with other Avon blogger circle members as well.<br />
<br />
I was really shy and I felt awkward...I should have taken more pictures with other bloggers.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all, I love the experience. It was an amazing opportunity for me to hear no other Lisa Lamberty talking about the new products and how they came up with it really and it really inspired me and I cannot wait to discover more Avon products. I am also very excited as to what's in store for me next now that I am part of Avon's blogger council.<br />

Hi everyone!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In case you do not know, I have worked as a nurse before and of course, we are not allowed to wear nail polish when working. I ma not a nail polish junkie to be honest and I really have a hard time putting on nail polish plus I find that other nail polishes chip off after a day or two and they are such a hassle to maintain or remove as well. Not to mention, I have very unattractive fingernails to start with. :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But, since I work online now and admit it or not, it is kinda nice to see your colored fingernails while typing on the keyboard right? I have been practicing and trying to put nail polish since last year and I have even started doing my manicure and pedicure so that I can save time and money. I am still practicing though... which means.. I am still trying and on the verge of losing my sanity because it can be sooooo frustrating especially when I use my non dominant hand...grrr.Nevertheless... let us not get off the topic here. Today, I am sharing my thoughts about these<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;"> San San Nail </span><span style="color: blue;">polishes</span></span> that I purchased a couple of weeks ago. :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Purple Breeze:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, this one is between a very light purple and light pink. In real life, it actually looks more pink on me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
THOUGHTS:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Application/Formula:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both nail polish are quite liquidy and thin. As shown above, they need to be layered 3 to 4 times on order to get an opaque color. What I did was that, I applied one coat first, then waited for it to dry then applied another coat again. But since, it is quite thin, it dries in less than five minutes and it does not look "thick" so it was okay. For someone like as inexperienced as me, it can be difficult at first and the color may "spill" out of your nails but it can be easily removed with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lasting power:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually complain that nail polishes chips off after one to two days but what I love about these nail polishes is that they lasted on me for four days without chipping and I did not use any top coat! They are also easy to remove using a nail polishes remover. Yey! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tip: To make your nail polish last longer, let it dry using "warm" air aka using your blower for 1-3 minutes, then place your fingers in front of the electric fan or aircon for another 2-3 minutes. This will really seal your nail polish and will make them last longer on your nails.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-great colors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- affordable</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- dries really fast</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- lasts on me for 3 to 4 days without using a top coat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some issues:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-quite thin so more application is needed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will I repurchase: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes! Hahaha...like I said, nail polishes are quite new to me. So I am not ready to shell out a huge amount of money on them. I am still discovering what colors look good on me so I try to change my nail polish color after 3 to 4 days. I recommend this to those like me who are new to nail polishes and to nail polish junkies as well, if do not mind having to reapply 3 to 4 layers. </div>

Hi everyone!!<br />
<br />
Last Tuesday, I received a call that really surprised me. Ms Mara from Avon called to inform me that I was chosen as one of the semi-finalist for the AVON "You Make IT Beautiful" blogger challenge. It came as a surprise because I never thought I'd make it. When I saw the list of other semi-finalist...I was like.. OH MY! Because most of the girls who were chosen were bloggers that I have followed and looked up to even before I started my blog and Youtube channel. Most of the girls were from Manila so they had their briefing in the Avon main office. As for me, I had my briefing via phone call because I am here in Iloilo. They also sent me a list of the items that I need to get from an Avon branch to use on the next challenge.<br />
<br />
So here are the items that I got:<br />

<br />
To be honest, I am quite happy with the stuff that I got. So whether I get in or not is not really a big deal because I got these stuff for free! HiHihihi<br />
<br />
Anyway, the next challenge what to create a look using these products and choose from three categories. We were made to choose from "Color Fantasy", "Flushed with Beauty" and "Smokey Eye". My eyeshadow quad is composed of pastel colors plus the lipsticks that I got were bright, so I decided to do "Color Fantasy" instead. I played around with the makeup until I was able to finally create a look that looks best on me.<br />
<br />
Of all the products, my favorite are the lipsticks because they are quite pigmented and long lasting as well. I do plan to do a separate and much in depth review of some of the products that I got from Avon. My second fave is the brow definer. If it wasn't black,it would have been my favorite but it can be too dark on me because my hair is reddish brown. I am planning to but the dark brown and see if it will match my hair. I like how easy it was to apply and the fact that it is not too creamy.<br />
<br />
Here is the look that I created:<br />

I used "Berry Bright" for my lips. I tried using "Tangerine Tango" for this look, but I think it does not look good..too loud...if you get what I mean.<br />

The last part was cut. :( I had a hard time uploading my video and my movie maker was acting up! It was a miracle that my video was up at 11:47pm last night. The deadline was on or before August 11, 2013 at 12am. Gosh..I was sooo scared that I won't be able to make it! I hope you support me once voting is up. It will start on Monday, August 12, 2013.<br />

Hi everyone!!<br />
<br />
Ever since I was young, my favorite makeup product have always been eye shadows and I am not so much into neutral and brown ones. The brighter and shimmery they are, the more I love them!<br />
I like wearing bright eye shadows when I was in college..ooohhh those were my makeup naive days! I must have looked weird sporting green eyeshadow during my clinical duty in the hospital.....<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Anyway, today..I'm reviewing the San San individual eye shadows that were recently released in HBC outlets here in the Philippines. There were 20 shades but I only got four of them plus my sister bought one too..so I decided to include that here. I feel like I have the other shades already and so I did not feel the need to buy them all... I say "need" because if I have the money, I will buy them all! hihiihh...<br />
<br />
Product name: San San Individual Eyeshadow<br />
Price: P50,00 per shade (approx US$1.2)<br />
Bought from: HBC store in Gaisano City, Iloilo<br />
Shades Bought: Warm Copper Fire, Turquoise Blue, Amethyst Purple, Cotton Candy Pink, Golden Chiffon<br />
<br />
The line were a mix of matte shimmery shades. They were housed individually in light blue, plastic container.<br />

Warm Copper Fire: This is a matte, warm, brown shade that is actually not so pigmented. However, this is great for contouring the nose and cheekbones especially for those with medium skin tone like moi. I also like using this to deepen my crease as well.<br />

Golden Chiffon: This is yellow gold with shimmer. It is not that pigmented has to be layered in order to get a good color pay off. Like Cotton Candy pink, this also picks up a lot of light.<br />

Purple Amethyst: This one is a more a light purple with shimmer as well. I chose this because I think I do not have this eye shadow color yet. It is quite pigmented too.<br />

Turquoise Blue: This is actually my favorite of the five but this color is something I have difficulty wearing. It is a light mint green/teal color that is just so cool and refreshing to look at however, I feel like it will not compliment my skin tone. But I bought it anyway, I figured I will find way to wear this someday.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall thoughts:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Packaging:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The packaging is light and since the lid is clear, I can readily see the color of the eyehadow which to me is pretty convenient. Plus, the lid is attached to the container, so I will not have a problem losing it. I am not sure as to how sturdy they are though. But, I have dropped them twice now and they see to hold up quite well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Formulation:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shadows are very compact and except for the Turquoise blue, they are not powdery at all. I think the reason why my swatch with the Turquoise blue is powdery because I swirled my finger around the product and I picked up a lot of the product. There were very little fall off during makeup application which is something I really like. They were also quite pigmented and has no foul or plastic smell. I find that it is better to use your finger or a natural "haired" brush to pick up the product. Using a primer will also bring out the color more and make it appear more vibrant. They very easy to blend as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lasting power:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used them without primer and it last up to 8 hours on my lids. But then again, I have dry lids so I do not usually have a problem with creasing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Price:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you think about it, buying all the 20 shades will cost P1000 which is affordable. You get a lot of product for only P50 and you can only choose the colors that you want to buy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Summary:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I like:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-affordable</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-good color pay off</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- minimal fall out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some issures:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- they only had 5 matte shades, wish they have more</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recommendation:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I highly recommend getting the Warm copper fire shade. It is a very nice brown shade that can be used for eyebrows and can be used as a contouring powder. I recommend this makeup beginners, enthusiasts and artists since they are quite affordable and good quality products. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi everyone!<br />
<br /><br />
Don't you just love it when you randomly find an amazing product at a really cheap price? I chanced upon these babies almost a month ago while browsing Watson's (a local drugstore here in the Philippines). I was looking for a nice red lipliner since it one thing that I never had before and though I do not like wearing red lipsticks, I thought I might need it sometime. I tried it on and I feel in love with! So if you want to know more about these darlings...please read on!<br />

I have not heard of the brand Italia Deluxe before but I decided to try them out since they were so creamy and pigmented. The colors are gorgeous and they glide on really easily.<br />

Since they're so cheap, I bought three of the colors. I bought the red one first but I came back after a week or two to buy the two colors. All of the are matte and can be worn alone. They are a little drying since they matte and can tend to emphasize the lines but putting on a lipbalm helps.<br />

I applied more on the edges in this picture and I did not put on any lipbalm. I love the red color. It is a bluebased red and makes my teeth look whiter.<br />

Soft pink is a cross between a mauve-y pink and a bright matte pink. Personally, I do not think it complements my skin tone but I love putting pink lipstick on top of it as it really makes the color vibrant.<br />

Fuschia is my favorite of the three. I wore this alone or top it off with a lipgloss. From the picture, the line on the outer edges of my lips is quite visible. You can avoid this by gliding the lip liner on the center of the lips then spreading it outwards. I wore this the other day and topped it off with my Maybelline lipbalm, I ate waffles and drank Coke but it was still on my lips when I went home.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I like: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-affordable</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-creamy and not difficult to apply</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-very pigmented </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-great colors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-makes your lipstick last longer (when worn alone can last up to 4-5 hours depending whether you eat or drink)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-can be worn alone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some issuse:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-can be drying</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-can emphasize the lines on your lips so be sure to exfoliate first and wear lip balm </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all, I highly recommend these lip liners to anyone, whether you are a makeup artist or a makeup enthusiast like me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you learned something from this and please do tell me what lip liners you use!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take care!</div>

<br />
I have always been very intimidated by red lipsticks. I usually stay away from buying red lipcolors preferring nudes and pinks. To be honest, it's not just about red lipsticks actually, I don't like bold lip colors because I feel that it makes me look old and grabs too much attention. Now that I'm thinking about it, it all boils down to my personality. I don't like getting attention. I prefer being in the sidelines, cheering and supporting others. Anyway, why am talking about myself here? Oh right...I made a makeup tutorial using red focusing more on the lips. I have seen a lot of makeup similar makeup tutorials and to be honest, I have never thought I could pull off this look, but I think I did a good job.... I also contoured my cheeks and instead of using usual eye shadows, I used the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=386470898133910&set=a.324463627667971.77437.280398805407787&type=3&theater" target="_blank">Miss Bella PH Blush/Contour Palette</a> for my eyelids. I am also including a review of this palette in this post just because I feel like it.<br />

I am quite satisfied with this look. I have never tried this before but I think this will look great in any event. Of course you can tone it down for day events and opt to brighter reds or maybe a bright pink. For this look, I chose a long wearing lipstick such as the Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet and used a red lip liner underneath.(swatches <a href="http://patrinesthoughts.blogspot.com/2013/06/review-velvetines-by-lime-crime.html" target="_blank">here</a>) It is important to use a long wearing lip color especially if the focus of the look is more on the lips. For blush, I used a light pink shade to compliment my red lips. <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tip: Choose your lipcolor according to your blush or vice versa. If you're wearing a red lip that choose pinks, if you are using a coral lip shade that you choose a coral/orange toned blush as well. </span></i><br />

So here is me review of the palette:<br />
<br />
Name: BLUSH/CONTOUR PALETTE<br />
Price: P550<br />
Where: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/missbellaonline" target="_blank">Miss Bella PH</a><br />
<br />
I do know for a fact that this is the fourth product from Miss Bella Ph and I just can't help it. I love there products. My sister had been asking me to buy this palette for almost a month and when I messaged Miss Bella PH that I want to order this product, I was so happy when they replied that they're going to send it to me for free. Yey! I have been using this palette almost everyday especially when I contour my nose and cheeks. Anyway, here are the swatches and the colors.<br />
<br />

It came in the same packaging as their other palettes. This one has six products. Two blushes, two highlighters and two contour powders. Each pan is actually large. It is about 2 inches in diameter. All of them are matte finish. They are a little powdery so be sure to tap it off before directly applying the product to your face.<br />

They are all quite pigmented and easily blended. They do last well on me and I have tried using them on my lids without a primer and it lasted on my the whole day. (I do not have dry lids to start with.)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
What I like:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-affordable</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-pigmented</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-can suit different skin colors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some Issue:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-I wish they put a mirror in the packaging</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all, this is a fairly useful product. I recommend this so makeup artists and makeup enthusiasts alike. If you like contouring and is looking for an affordable product, then this one might be for you. I really like their contour powder. It is not muddy and does not have a "reddish" tint to it. It also shows up on my NW30 skintone. I might buy another one for my sister since we're sharing it for now and I want to have one of my own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I hope you find this post informative. Please do share your thoughts below. What do you think of contour powders?ARe you a "red" lipstick girl? I want to read what you think!!</div>

Take care!</div>

<br />
I have been on a hunt of good and affordable concealers. I actually own a lot of concealers just because I haven't really found the "ONE". My sister and I went to a bazaar almost three months ago and there was this store that sells US drugstore cosmetics and they were really cheap. The lip glosses were about P100 (approx US$2) and we noticed a "brown" lip gloss. When I took it out, it was actually a concealer and when we asked the saleslady there how much was it, she told us it was P100 as well. My sister and I were so excited! Unfortunately, the lady noticed that it was actually a concealer..she sold it to us for P199 (approx US$4). However, I think we still had a pretty good deal. I tried it at once when we went home and it turned out to be just a little bit lighter than our skintone. I tried it out for about a month and so here it my review:<br />

When we bought the product, it did not come with a box. It came in a tube that looks like a lip gloss. The applicator also looks similar to that of a lip gloss applicator. I like the applicator. It was not stiff and it holds a lot of product.</div>

A you can see, I do not really have dark undereye circles but my undereyes are very puffy thus creating a shadow and making me look like I have dark undereye circles. I also have a lot of lines in that area so using concealers are quite tricky because some settle on the lines.</div>

I used my fingers to pat the product and blend it to my skin. It does brighten up and has significantly decreased the darkness on undereyes. I think I have applied way too much of the product though. </div>

Here, I just used concealer on my undereyes and sides of my nose and applied some powder, blush and eyebrows.<br />
<br />
Overall Thoughts:<br />
<br />
What I like:<br />
-The creamy consistency is just right especially when applied on my undereye circles since it does not settle on the lines<br />
-does not cake<br />
-color matches my skin tone<br />
-no foul odor<br />
- easily blendable<br />
- lasts 4-6 hours without primer<br />
<br />
<br />
Issues:<br />
-might be difficult to find here in the Philippines, I have yet to find an online seller that carries this product<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I really like this concealer. It is by far my favorite concealer coverage and color wise. I highly recommend this especially to those girls have lines on their undereyes as well.<br />
<br />
I hope you find my review helpful.Please do comment below what you think of my post and what your fave concealer is! Take care!<br />

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was not a fan of huge makeup palettes before because I thought I'd never had any use of them. I prefer buying smaller ones or individual eyeshadows instead. But eversince I started making Youtube videos, I felt like I need more colors to inspire me. It sounds silly, I know...but I can't help it. how do Michelle Phan get inspired? Anyway, I got this palette about two weeks ago and has been loving it ever since! Read on for more.!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Overall Thoughts:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">What I like:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">-affordable</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">- a lot of color variety</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-contains shimmery and matte shades</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">- pigmented</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">- has removable palettes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">- no strong odor</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">-blends well</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">-sturdy container</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Some Issues:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">-no mirror</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">- a bit powdery</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">- may not last long on those with oily lids</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all, I am quite surprised that I love this palette. i was never into neutrals and browns before but this palette made me realize that there are so many looks that I can do using a browns and taupes. I do suggest wearing a primer when using this eyeshadows to make it last longer especially if you have oily lids. This palette is great for makeup artists and makeup enthusiasts as well. </div>
