NARS Look

 

Nars Philippines recently launched 3 collections and all are exciting!  I got to dip my fingers on each collection with Nars Afterglow Lip Shine in Dark Deeds (Erratum: It should be Dark Deeds on Video instead of Deep Realm).  

I was able to try 3 Air Matte Moussse from Air Matte Blush Collection and an O Eyeshadow Palette under the Ox Collection.  For some reason, all these colletction looks so inviting to create 1 dainty look and I actually did!  

Before the look, let me show you a closer look on why Nars can always give me a flutter in the stomach because it brought me back to so many good ‘ol Bridal Wedding makeup days!  These Air Matte Blushers are so pretty to use I can imagine the term “BLUSHING BRIDES” for all 3 shades below.

Sace Lady Look And Review

 

Hi Everyone!

If you follow me on Instagram (Please do!). I showed a huge unboxing of Sace Lady Cosmetics. I read positive reviews on the high quality product at a low cost and was surprised how beautifully packaged they are! After constant research, I’ve decided to give the a try knowing these have FDA Safety certification.

Here’s the company in detail as seen on their online pages:

SACE LADY insists that "everyone is the unique flower in the world, and being true to yourself is the best ever."

We support everyone to bravely pursue a life attitude by being positive, independent, and happy. Therefore, we design and provide high-quality, cost-effective beauty makeup products to help you to be more attractive and pleasant yourself，having every wonderful day. 

Since the brand wants us to BE YOURSELF, here’s me being myself in terms of testing makeup!  

TADA! 

Showing you HALF FACE Sace Lady Cosmetics.  Not bad for 18 (and more) products that costs less than Php2,000 !

Are you ready to check out step-by-step the makeup items I used to create this look?  

Sace Lady All Matte Blur Primer

Php119.00

This is a silicone-based primer that gives off a smooth and easy-to-apply texture.  Key ingredient - Dimethicone, which gives off a smooth, flawless finish.  It does fill in pores and wrinkles but it does not dry out as quickly so it is very important to apply, pat, and let it sit for a couple of minutes before you apply your foundation.

TIP:  I’d like to do my eye makeup at this stage if I am rushing, but for this particular review, I waited and it took me approximately 5 minutes for product to get fully absorbed into skin.

I am usually not allergic to Dimethicone so I have no issues letting this product stay on my skin for ours!  

Sace Lady Longwear Foundation

Php120.00

Shade: 04 Natural

Available in: Light, Fair, Light Natural, Natural, Medium and Medium Dark

Club Clio Simply Pink Look

How I missed these Photo-torials!

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen a couple of my makeup looks tutorial on #AMWIGtv , shameless plug ahead, if you are into visuals follow me there!  If you love the old school photo-torial...I am still here!  

I recently created Club Clio Simply Pink Look, as simple as that, I called the look that way because I used a Club Clio Simply Pink eyeshadow palette!  

How do you like it?

A friendly note from me, if you are into wild and highly pigmented shadow looks, this palette aren't for you!  This is best for those who are into Korean/Japanese makeup looks - subtle, young-looking and just carefree! Not much blending or thinking to worry about, you just apply the shadows you think would look good on you and go with the flow!  As free as that!

Club Clio Simply Pink Palette consists of..well..err...various shades of "subtle" pink, I have to put subtle out there because if you are aiming for HOT PINK ala Madonna, you won't find it here ! You get subtle pink in dfferent finishes though!

Paint In Color Look

I haven't done much looks lately right? 

Because I usually put up my looks on Stories and screw that, I seldom wear legit eyeshadows nowadays until I got this palette!  I was really intrigued about this newest palette from The Body Shop and I love how their packaging is totally different from the usual packaging!  I like it that I am seeing more colors as well.

This palette is called Paint In Color - true to its' name, it does remind me of Kyle's paint palette or watercolor set!  I did initial thoughts on this palette and swatched a couple of shades which made me go "oooh and aaahhh" a lot of times!  

But after testing this out on various occasions, I am ready to share my in depth thoughts and will share some tips on how to use this wisely as well!  :D  Are you Ready?

Natural Beauty Look the Pixi-way

If you follow me on Instagram, you knew that I unboxed the Huge Pixi box and even given away an eyeshadow palette and a brush set! 

Yes, shameless plus but it helps to follow me on Instagram as I do a lot of giveaways there!

Leaving myself the Reflex Light palette, I was inspired to create a very simple, natural yet-fresh eyeshadow look using some of my favorite shadow shades from this palette.

 Eye Reflection Shadow Palette With specially curated colors, these eye shadow formulas are highly blendable and incredibly rich in pigment and payoff! Super silky mineral shadows in light reflective shades make it easy to create stunning looks with a few sweeps. The mix of creamy metallic colours ranging from light to dark help create a 3D glow and shimmer, making your eyes the center of attention. Swish on these gorgeous shades to brighten, define, and enliven!

I know a lot of daytime eyeshadow quads are plain and blah.

If you want a palette that can enhance the natural color of your eyes, go for Palladio Eyeshadow Quad in Daytime Look.

Stellar Celebration Makeup To Go Palette Look

So I had this palette for a year - untouched.
I was fixing my makeup case when I saw this and took a good look.  Lo and behold - how dare I missed out on such a nice and useful palette (especially for travels and staycations?)  I am truly sorry Avon True Color.

So this look, I can easily create in 5 minutes!

Non-Avon item used: powder foundation, brows and eyeliner

Tip: you can actually use one shade in this palette as a brow powder!

Yves Rocher "Gris Profound" Look

Who would've thought I can create an eyeshadow look from a brand that is known for Botanical ingredients?

Well, to see is to believe, the brand actually creates good eyeshadow palettes I am so confused why I left it sitting on my vanity for the longest time!  One day, I wanted to create a daytime smoky eye makeup look and I saw the Yves Rocher Quad Sumptuous Color Palette in Gris Profound, this palette consists of Black, Gray and White which is a perfect quad for smoky eye makeup.

By the way, they have other shades available, they have blues, browns and purples.

Easy Shadow Look Inspired by Kate Tokyo!

Do you currently own an eyeshadow palette you can't seem to use up?

I know I've thrown a couple of palettes away with shades I didn't even touch!  So sad right?

That said, I am keeping more of those palettes that are small, straightforward and most importantly...I can use them on a daily basis!  

One brand that I have been using a daily basis is Kate Tokyo and out of all the palettes they came up with, this new one called Smoky Round Eyes (php720.00) really struck me the most because I literally use all the shades in this palette whenever I use it!

GN-1

This is a great and unique alternative to those into nudes and browns.  To those who don't know, moss green is actually a great shade or alternative to browns for most Filipinas especially with brown eyes.  It makes your eye color pop more and it looks great on warm undertone.

How I would wear this naturally....

Focal Point: Eyes with iMagic

If you follow me on #AMWIGStories , you've seen how I've worked with my newest IMAGIC PROfessional Cosmetics 16 Color Eyeshadow Palette.  I've used just a couple of random shades for the past weeks but this is my favorite so far since this reminds me so much of the good 'ol Blogging days 10 years ago --- it's all about Copper and Rust with a hint of red!

COMMENT YAAAASSSS If you remember such looks!

My First Son&Park Eyeshadow Palette + Look

Do you like this look?
It's super quick and easy-to-do but this is my favorite look created using my first Son&Park product.  To those who aren't familiar with the brand, I did some research for you...

The creators of Son & Park are two celebrity makeup artists best known for popularizing the dewy no-makeup makeup look in Korea. With artistry at the heart of their brand, their line of cosmetics is high quality and reinforces simplicity.

I got the All That Smoky Kit through one of those Althea Boxes, the palette caught my attention that's why I chose that box!

Housed in a sleek, matte eyeshadow palette packaging.  I actually fell in love with the simple, magnetic-type packaging.  Something I wish most makeup companies would do because I like to pile them nicely and neatly inside my makeup kit.
