Tony Moly Panda's Dream Brightening Eye Base Review





I have always been a sucker for cute make-up packaging but mark my word when I say they never cloud my judgement when I start to review the product itself!  The launch happened last August and it took me quite some time to "ooh and aah" over the packaging and tried #Adulting for once and finally, I'm ready to share my in depth, honest-to-goodness review!

But seriously..ang cute niya no?

Tony Moly Panda's Dream Brightening Eye Base is housed in a little tube packaging that I originally thought was a lip balm of sort!

Upon twisting up the "balm", I was shocked!  It was literally white in color and I was assured and reassured by the SA so many times that this is meant to brighten the eye area.  I had to pick it up eventhough the makeup artist in me was screaming: "This Won't Work!"

Cargo Cosmetics is Now Exclusively Sold at Beauty Bar




When I just started out on Beauty Blogging almost a decade ago, I love to shop online and stalk fellow International Beauty Bloggers and salivate over various makeup brands not available locally!  One of the distinct brands I remembered "hoping and praying" to arrive our shores are Benefit Cosmetics, Urban Decay and Cargo Cosmetics.  

Who would've thought Cargo Cosmetics, the Canadian makeup brand, is finally within reach?  I thought I was dreaming until I attended the launch last week!  

Cargo Cosmetics is NOT a new cosmetics brand, it has been around for 20 years now and has been a staple on the sets of film and television.  And did you know that the HD line was created for the casts of Desperate Housewives?

It was during the launch that I realized Cargo Cosmetics is not just a regular makeup brand, Cargo Cosmetics offers a wide breathe of color cosmetics and tools that allow every woman to customize her beauty look with confidence and ease!  It was a whole range of High Definition Collection, Swimmables Collection and other best-selling products that was put on display which took my breathe away!

Cargo Cream Broad Spectrum SPF20 
Php1,750.00
Available in Light, Medium and Dark

My Happy Skin Glam Squad Juan Sarte Look




Last August, Happy Skin launched their newest makeup line called Happy Skin Glam Squad, the brand's latest collaboration developed together with Filipino makeup masters including --- Juan Sarte, Mickey See, Denise Go-Ochoa and Jigs Mayuga.  I've decided to go for Juan Sarte's eyeshadow and liquid matte lipstick because I felt this collection would go well with my skin tone!

True enough, it was love at first application....

AMW Wears: Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk Chiffon





Whenever I go to Lucky Chinatown, the stores I always visit when I would like to take a breather includes Etude House!  Walking inside the store makes me feel like a kid inside a Bookstore (yes bookstore talaga because I'm not a fan of candies)


Then I see a display of Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk Chiffon lipsticks modeled by the cute Krystal.  Of course it looked oh-so-good on her I got envious and went on to try these 2 shades myself!  

Any favorites?

The Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-talk has been around for quite some time but I believe the 2016 (Chiffon) version are newly formulated, creamier in texture and definitely friendlier to my oh-so-dry lips!
