Laneige x Lucky Chouette BB Cushion Whitening Review





BB cushions have been an "in thing" since (I can't remember, Lord help me!).  But one brand that got stuck in my head or in my opinion, started the BB cushion craze for me is Laneige.  

The first ever I tried is called Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion and the experience was great!   I've even bought refill after refills until other brands came out with their own Cushion I stopped buying just because I need to review other brands.

Then with Laneige Meets Fashion Laneige x Lucky Chouette, the cute "owl" printed on the cushion compact won my heart!  The design is limited yet so cute I can't imagine using a regular Laneige Cushion compact after this.  

In this collection, there are 2 types of cushions --- Pore Control (Black) and Whitening (Pink).

Obviously, I have Normal/Dry skin so I gave the Pore Control a skip and went ahead and used the Whitening variant.

Aside from the "new look" of packaging, I believe the product itself has been reformulated.
I've used this compact so many times I'm ready to share my thoughts on this Whitening cushion.

Etude House Big Cover Concealer Tip Review





Concealer, my ultimate favorite make up product for daily use because I tend to skip foundation especially since the weather is getting more humid by the minute!

One concealer that caught my attention last year was the Etude House Big Cover Concealer Tip, this BIG COVER range comes with its' own Cover Concealer BB with SPF50, a Cover Cushion Concealer and a stick concealer as well!  

I went for the Concealer Tip with a doe foot applicator because I find this to be the easiest and best concealer applicator for me especially when I'm in rush.

This comes in 2 shades: Beige and Sand.
I got sand hoping it will be "darker" than most Korean Concealers but it still looks a bit light on me!

Swatch: Sand

Since the shade is not as "warm" as I would like to cover undereye darkness, I use this on top of a corrector or a regular foundation just to "hide" the undereye darkness before I use the Big Cover Concealer Tip.

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Launch




Make up for photography, how lovely when you perfected it yet how difficult to choose the right product/s to use.

With the launch of newest Ultra HD Line from Make Up For Ever, I can't imagine a more perfect way to test these products but a photoshoot with all harsh lighting!

The result?  I look like I am in my best skin condition (promise, make up lang talaga yan) and I don't look like I'm wearing any make up at all!

It was a quick and easy makeover done by Make Up For Ever artists, I get to get close and personal with each product applied/used on me.

Pixi By Petra Endless Silky Eye Pen in Graphic Greige Review




I have reviewed so many Pixi By Petra products in the past and one reason that made me love the brand is that most of their products are paraben-free, mineral oil-free, preservative-free and not tested on animals.  And the best part?  Most of the products I've tried and reviewed from the said brand got thumbs up from me!

There was actually a "delay" in review of this one particular Pixi By Petra product on my part because of the tiny seal of approval from "Top-Tested Beauty Awards" (See it in pink on box?).  Well, if it got that seal, it must be good!  So I actually didn't challenge the said product until I ran out of smudge-proof, waterproof and smear-proof eye pencil.  

Pixi By Petra Endless Silky Eye Pen
Php690.00
Available at www.glamourbox.ph

Pixi says ---
"Waterproof, super-long-wear, no-smudge, no-budge eye liners. They glide on like seamless silk, and in a single sweep motion create a flawless, solid jewel-toned line. No retouching required all day - or night!"
I got the shade Graphic Greige for review and this is surprisingly a unique yet perfect shade for those who dislike to wear black eyeliner especially during daytime.

Happy Skin x Disney Beauty and the Beast Moisturizing Matte Lip Kit





I grew up to be a non-Princess type of kid.  You see me chasing after kids playings "Touch Taya" or "throw the ball", "Patintero", "Touch the Wall" and worst (my husband still can't believe I did this), I climbed our house gate and people-watch!  And the gate is around 10 feet high!

Tomboy on the outside, I'm a Disney Princess at heart, I don't get to watch TV as my grandfather is really strict about his "apos" watching television but I get a good serving of Disney Stories with a casette tape and book to read along!  

One Disney Princess character I'm drawn into is Belle Gold also known as "Beauty".  She has the beauty not only on the outside but a golden beauty on the inside.





And it excites me to receive this Limited Edition Happy Skin X Disney Beauty and the Beast Moisturizing Matte Lip Kit priced at Php1,199.00.
