Pro Studio Beauty Exclusives: Miracle Edge Sponge Can Make You A PRO!

So Beauty Blenders are EVERYWHERE!  Original and "inspired versions".  I own 2 originals and a whole lot of "inspired ones".  So I guess I have a bit of the "right" to say, I know if it's as good as the original or even close to the original.  #BraggingRights

I recently got one as a gift that doesn't look like your regular Beauty Blender Sponge, it comes with an "Edge" that's why it's called a Miracle Edge Sponge!  It is also in hot pink and there are other colors like Light Pink and Purple which I find extremely adorable and I want to get them all!

Miracle Edge Sponge

Php490.00 but priced Php285.00 at BeautyMNL

How does it look?  None of that teardrop shape!  It comes with a sharp tip and a flat edge!  

And it also gets BIG when wet!  See how huge it is against the palm of my hand?

Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft Matte Hydrating Foundation Review

Would you believe me when I say, I can actually pick a drugstore foundation even when I go on camera?

Remember my 2 guesting at Unang Hirit last December?  Well, I actually picked a drugstore foundation called Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft Matte Hydrating Foundation as my base!  So far, it works fine!

Why did I pick this foundation?  Well, aside from the fact that it gives a matte finish, it is hydrating enough to use even on dry areas around my skin.  

This product, according to Maybelline, is the first-ever hydrating matte foundation for 100% velvet-smooth perfected skin all day.  I tested this so many times and I have to say, this is my favorite Maybelline foundation to date --- just because it is perfect for my skin type.

Cathy Doll's 5th Year Anniversary Celebration in Bangkok, Thailand

So today is my birthday!  Yes, I am a year older and this post came right on time!  For me, getting older means getting extremely grateful for a year's worth of "life" and "experiences", a year older means conquering your fear too!  

I look like a very strong woman, but I do have my own fears!  Okay, this may sound too "OA" (Overacting) but I fear of separation with my toddler, you guys who follow my travel "logs" would probably realize how I haven't traveled for the past 3 years (last one was in the US with Kyle and Mr. AMW).  

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email to attend Cathy Doll's 5th Year Anniversary in Bangkok and I told myself it is TIME for me to go and conquer my fear of Separation Anxiety #Sepanx at the same time, appreciate the opportunities that was offered to me!  I finally said YES, and it was one of the BEST YES I did before I turn a year older.

Juggling multiple tasks and jobs on hand, I guess I don't have enough time to expand my learnings, so I guess at this stage, the best learning is through life's lesson and this short trip is an eye-opener for me!  There really isn't any "division" when it comes to the world of Beauty...people really flock together, giving each other's smiles (even with the lack of language skills) just because we all understand our similar passion.

That's me, sick and all but happy in Bangkok 

I realized Cathy Doll is indeed super Big in Thailand, they have ads almost EVERYWHERE! 

With just a full day in Bangkok and the rest of the days for travel, I am so glad to get to squeeze in a quick visit in one of their Karmart Store located at Siam.

Karmart is where you will find Cathy Doll products in Thailand same in modern trade channels such as 7-Eleven, Watsons, etc.. 

I got in to check out Cathy Doll Products and actually see which products we don't have here locally.

Beauty Discovery with Shiseido, Guerlain and Elizabeth Arden

When invited for a "Beauty Discovery", who can say  no to that especially since I've been living and breathing "anything Beauty-Related" for the past 2 decades?  (yes friends, I've been holding and touching makeup as young as 16 years old applying makeup on classmates during school plays!

Brands Shiseido, Guerlain and Elizabeth Arden unveiled their 2017 Spring/Summer Collections in Ayala Mall's Greenbelt 5 Gallery.

Let's start with Elizabeth Arden, I have always known about the brand for their effective skincare products, I have stocked up so much on their Eight Hour Cream and little do I know the brand has so much more to offer!

The cream has its' own version called the Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist!

That 90's Look!

This particular lip color is such a versatile shade!
This can pass as a daily lip color perfect for office work, business meetings.  This can also be a bridal lip color or an entourage lip color too.  And if you plan to go out on a date or just meet up with friends, this is totally wearable whether you have full face makeup on barefaced like I usually do!

This color, works well on ALL skin tones and the name is so yummy --- TIRAMISU.

I got to pick this last piece during the Bhagis Event a couple of weeks ago, this was the only lip product I got and it didn't fail me!

According to Jordana ---

Give your lips some sugar, sweetie! Sweet Cream Matte Liquid Lip Color starts off as a liquid and melts into a velvety matte finish. Indulge in a light, creamy-whipped feel and dessert-rich shades like Cherry Cobbler and Red Velvet Cake. Infused with a drop of vitamin A—Sweet Cream Matte Liquid Lip Color keeps lips comfortable and never dry. Each tempting shade stays fresh on your lips for up to 16 hours. You just got one step closer to yum!
