This is another picture of my online shopping ...AGAIN! I know, I'm dead in love with Kimonos! I am loving this because it has a v-neck front (unlike the previous order of v front and back). I am looking forward to wear this...i hope this will be my last purchase... (I said HOPE) hahaha

Enjoy your week gals!

Askmewhats Reviews: MAC Sculpting Powder in Lightsweep/Shadester



A lovely product from MAC. I love their Sculpting powder series and I bought the color in Lightsweep/Shadester. I am so sorry guys, I tried taking a pix of it and it just got washed out by the camera flash, if I didn't use a flash, it gets too dark and you can't see anything. Hahaha I may try this again in the future but here's my review on this for now :)




The above picture is the darker one which is the "shadester" . As the name implies, you use it to go shade some ares of your face or we COUNTOUR with it. I use this best on the cheekbones, nose bridge area, and to those who's got a wide forward, I dust it on the forehead as well. This looks very natural!




This would be the "lightsweep" or the lighter version. This has very small shimmer that's best to use as highlighter. I use this to highlight the area where the sun hits the face :) I also use this under the eyes, as it makes your eyes brighter.

Overall, I am so happy I bought this product. With this 2-in-1 product, I don't need to buy a separate Contouring and Highlighting powder.

I know a lot of fellow beauty bloggers have their Sculpting powder.
How do you like it?
Any more tips where I can use this for? (as I know you can use it to create a deeper cleavage as well) --- hahahha I haven't tried it ok!!!! hahahha

Askmewhats Reviews: Fashion 21


**available at all beauty stores for Php85.00 (approx $2.00 each)

A stick e/s or liner is really useful to complete your whole EMU. We always love to use our eyeliners in browns or blacks, but really, having a different colored liners can really brighten up your eyes.

One local brand I've used and really love is the Fashion 21 Stick e/s or eyeliner. I've used 2 colors and I'm planning to buy all their shades.

Fashion 21 says ---

For the website, smile smile !

  • Gentle
  • water resistant
  • hip and trendy

Askmewhats says ---

Pros
  • really affordable!
  • color payoff is really good
  • their choices of colors are wonderful! (available in wood, sable, smoke, clay, pearl, lotus, gold, lilac, grass, aqua and lagoon) --- all wonderful colors
  • can really be used as eyeshadow base (to make the e/s powder color comes out even brighter)
  • can be used as eyeliner, tried this too many times, really good outcome
  • doesn't smudge (unless you want a smudged look)
  • easy to remove with make-up remover

Cons
  • easily breaks as it gets really creamy and soft
Tips
  • do store them in cool dry place
  • the lagoon (is my personal fave) can be used as eyeliner and it can really really make a person looks totally HIP and different
  • draw a line, then smudge it with your fingers, or brush (lovely e/s color!)
  • use the white liner in the corners of your eyes, really nice brightening color!
Will I repurchase?
Yes!

Have anyone tried this? How do you like it? It's great for a good price.

Your askmewhats,
Nikki

and to all the moms around the world

I love you mom!!!

What I learned from my mom ---
  • help other people, without asking anything in return
  • always smile
  • always be thankful of what you have
  • never complain
  • be patient, as good things will always come your way
  • money is NOT everything
  • never lie
  • never cheat
  • do as many good things as you can, as you can make other people happy
The list can go on and on and on....that's how great my mom is, I learned so much from her!
I knew whatever decisions I make, she would always love me,
accept me, with open arms and not judge me!

Mom, this is dedicated to you, you are the best!!!
I love you so much!!
Happy Mother's day....my mom, my bestfriend!
