Top Contouring Picks from Sephora




So you've probably seen me posted this on my Social Media Accounts.  I was so inspired to create a special blog post for this because I was asked so many times about the 3 Contour/Highlight Powders I got from Sephora.  

First things first, I shopped these online and they were delivered straight to my doorstep in less than 2 weeks.  All the products were bubble-wrapped properly and I got everything in good condition.  So kudos to Sephora team for that.


My picks from Sephora ranging from below Php1,000, below Php2,000 and below Php3,000.

Koji Curving Eyelash Curler Review




This isn't called the No. 1 Best-seller for nothing!  I have been a loyal Shu Uemura and Shiseido Eyelash Curler user for YEARS!  Shu Uemura for most clients with curvier eye shape while Shiseido is perfect for those with extremely small eyes!

After trying out Koji Curving Eyelash Curler, I had to include this in my professional kit and purchase another one for myself!

A Beauty Tete-a-Tete with Kojie San





I am one of the very few who gets allergic to the term "whitening".  Whenever I see skincare products with "whitening" on it, I tend to push it away.  

All thanks to years of Blogging, I get to learn the difference of whitening and lightening.  And how I should really understand something before judging. #judgmentalAKO 





So what is the difference of Whitening and Lightening?
Whitening is the process of changing the skin tone through harsh chemicals, which in return, can irritate or damage skin.  And that is the main reason why I am so scared to try whitening products because I have very sensitive skin.


Lightening, on the other hand, is a more gentle process in bringing back the skin's original state prior to sun damage or discoloration.  

Kojie San products falls on to the "Lightening" category, no wonder I have used up 2 of their soaps and felt it didn't do any damaging effects on my skin.  Instead, it made my skin tone more even and brighter.

Browhaus Precision Eyeliner (Black) Review




When Browhaus launched their make-up range, one product that caught my attention is their Precision Eyeliner!  I was so ecstatic for their make-up range I did a review on their Precision Eyeliner in Deep Brown some months ago!

Today, I am sharing the perfect liquid liner in black especially for first-timers!  This post is created after doing a Make-Up 101 workshop with Dynamic Youth last Sunday!  After helping each attendee, I realized one thing, they all look amazing with liners but most of them do not have steady hands to apply a nice line!

So the Browhaus Precision Eyeliner is another recommendation for first-time liquid liner users!

For daytime, I highly recommend going for Deep Brown but if you want eyes that speaks a thousand words, go for the Black version.  It comes with the similar felt-tip applicator making it easy to use.

Etude House Big Cover Cushion Concealer Review





I know, I own gazillion of concealers but because I mostly use concealers on a daily basis, I highly invest on them!  

One of the newest concealer from the brand Etude House is the Big Cover Concealer Cushion.  I've seen the Big Cover Foundation so many times but decided to try on the concealer cushion even if I find the shade to be too light on me!  A light concealer isn't the end of the world for me because I can always use them as a highlighting product!

One thing unique about the Big Cover Concealer is the appearance of the "cute cushion applicator".  As cute as it looks, I hail this my "personal" concealer because I can't imagine using this on other people!  I can, if I want to but I have to use a brush instead.
