L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Review




I've been stopping myself to purchase a makeup setting spray because I knew in my heart, it will always work differently if I use it in our country.  The humidity really won't make the cut so I always depend on a good primer and a good setting powder and skip setting sprays.  

When L'Oreal Paris came up with their newest and most innovative product for the year 2016 under Infallible line called the Pro-Set & Spray, I knew I had to give it a test before even thinking about including this in my professional kit.


It comes in a sleek black packaging with a rubberized texture that tend to "collect dust".  I wish they do something about the bottle and just make it as simple as possible.

NYX Butter Lipsticks Review



To lighten up the "Election Day" mood, I am sharing 3 NYX Butter Lipstick shades that I've been trying for the past months!  NYX has always been my to-go-to shadow when I was just starting out on makeup ---> long time readers have read my online shopping journey with various NYX Single Shadow Shades!
 
Surprisingly, I haven't tried their much coveted lip products!  From their Soft Matte Creams to Matte Lipsticks and Butter Lipsticks, I've read so many good things about them and see gazillion swatches but never really own them until recently.

I got 3 shades from the Butter Lipsticks line --- Sweet Tart, Snow Cap and Hubba Bubba.

Happy Mother's Day, Mommies!



"Am I ready for motherhood?"
Well, I used to think I have an answer.  I told everyone I love kids and would be ready as early as 18!  (thankfully, di naman nangyari yon hahaha)  But that very moment I gave birth, I finally knew what to say when faced with that question.

"You'll never be ready."



Even with that cute cheeky, toothless smile.  You may never be ready for sleepless nights.  You will never be ready for that constant worry whenever your little angel gets sick or whenever they cry.  You will never be ready when your heart breaks into many pieces when they hurt themselves or when you have to bring them to a hospital for an emergency.  Oh God, I will never be ready for that!
On the brighter side, you will be surprised on how much UNCONDITIONAL LOVE you feel.  You will realize how much LOVE your heart can give.

Truthfully, the joys and pains of being a parent.  Especially a mom.

Bioderma Sebium Pore Refiner Launch at Paul SM Aura



When you are A Beauty Blogger, you've probably came across the brand Bioderma.  And if that brand comes to mind, the next phrase would be --- Miscellar Water.  Yes, that's what Bioderma is famous for!  But after meeting several times with DMark Beauty CEO Ms. Nikki Tang, I got to learn so much about the brand and the products they offer.  Bioderma is indeed more than just a cleansing water.  Bioderma is BIOlogy at the service of DERMAtology!

 BIODERMA is founded by pharamacist-biologist, thus, the brand has developed innovative approach based on dermatological biology adapted to each skin type and each cutaneous disorder.  What struck me after learning about the brand?  The fact that BIODERMA has pioneered skincare that not only corrects skin disorders, but also acts on skin's natural biological processes so skin could naturally restore itself on a daily basis.  This is one thing I learn about the brand, no other brand has offered!  

Last April 28th, was the launch of BIODERMA Sebium Pore Refiner.  Together with a small group of Beauty Bloggers, we also got up close and personal with the rest of the Sebium line.

The Body Shop Drops Of Light™ Pure Healthy Brightening Serum Review




When the 30ml worth of The Body Shop Drops Of Light™ Pure Healthy Brightening Serum was dropped on my table last month, I knew I needed something to "brighten" my skin after I finished up my Shiseido Ultimune Serum!  The Body Shop skincare products are mostly okay for me so I actually skipped doing skin patch test and went on and tested the product that same night!
