POP Beauty Pop-Art Look

So you all know how much I enjoyed the "natural pop" I get from using Pop Beauty Pop Your Natural Beauty Honey Haze palette. on my previous post.  Today, I'm creating more POP-Art-like pop using my NEW Pop Beauty Products.

Okay, that's a lot of "pop" in one phrase!

Spot the difference?

Well, it's the lipstick!  I did a bit of lipstick-changing but I'll show you how I created such an easy look that warms my face and works well on photos (even in person!)

POP Beauty Founder and makeup artist, Sara Strand created new products (featured here) to achieve a flawless base and give more definition to the brows, cheeks and lips.  Part of the latest offerings are Velvet Powder Base, Peak Performance Brow, Insta-Brow Sealer, Highlight and Bright, Contour 101 and Matte Velvet Lipstix. 

Scroll further down as I feature 4 out of the 6 products from the collection.

Etude House Dreaming Swan Eye & Cheek Purple Look

Happy Leap Year!  I am sharing a super quick look using my newest Etude House purchase, the Etude House Dreaming Swan Eye & Cheek in Purple.  Instead of the usual product review, I'll just insert photos on how I have used this for the past few days and YOU share to me your thoughts if this is something I should keep or not!  

At the back of my head, I am hoping you'd say: "KEEP IT!" :P

The Dreaming Swan collection comes in a total of 5 gorgeous shades (and packaging!)  Now, for the sake of easier "reading", I copied the shades from Etude House Philippines website

Boulangerie 22 is My Heaven On Earth!

I am a bread gal!  (Obviously if you try to touch my tummy, all the carbs go down there!) :P  Well, seriously, I'm a self-proclaimed "Parisian Chic" because I used to eat my meals with just bread on the side instead of rice!  I guess, that's because we were raised in a family of "bread always on the table"!

Even today, I always visit bakeries whenever I visit my mom and dad or my siblings!  We always ended up exchanging bread and pastries --- because that's just the way we are --- our language of love is really through ...ahem..food!

So when I got an invite to an opening of the newest and sweetest bakery in town called Boulangerie 22, I had to whip out my scarf and flowey dress, channeling Aubrey Hepburn minus the shades and pose with my fellow Judenite Jane Kingsu-Cheng!

See that happy and contented smile?  Breads make me happy!  (serious!)

The One Legaspi Park Condominium Branch located at Rada Street, Legaspi Village, Makati was decorated with flowers channeling us to the chic city of Paris.

BrowHaus Make-Up Range Launch

BrowHaus, the company, will always be special to me as a Beauty Blogger.  If you are a long-time reader (let's head back to year 2009).  BrowHaus was the first company I reached out for an interview (yup!  I felt like a real reporter back then) because I have readers asking about brow services available in the Metro.  (Read the article BrowHaus Greenbelt Branch Visit)

Fast-forward to today, who would've thought the company expanded to creating their own make-up range?  Well, I wasn't that surprised!  If they perfected the art of Brow Services, it's time we consumers perfect our own brows and eye makeup AFTER the service!

Just some of the products featured during the event.

 (Will show you the complete range after the jump!)

The event was held at Cafe Naya, The Palace Pool Club and it was such a fun day for me as I was suddenly called out together with dear friend Jackie and a new friend Bianca for a make-up challenge!  We were each asked to recreate a look by famous celebrities like Gwen Steffani and Angelina Jolie using just the products from the range!  Look at our faces!  We obviously aren't competing but having fun!

Max FactorX Miracle Match Foundation Review

So after a rave review from Max FactorX Skin Luminizer Foundation because of the "brightening" effect it gives which works so well on my skin type, I welcome, with open arms --- Max Factor's newest Miracle Match Foundation.  This foundation has shade matching formula with medium coverage.  As they say, "seamless" makeup is in so I gave this foundation a test and see if it passes my requirements for next-generation makeup.
