New The Base Zero From Kate

I have always loved Japanese base makeup.  I remembered investing highly on Paul & Joe makeup (which is a Japanese brand) way before I entered makeup school and has been using "Japanese branded base makeup" for Bridal clients because they give the most natural-looking, delicate coverage.

Since Paul & Joe is far gone locally, I have always been on a lookout for a good "base" and Kate Tokyo actually got into the list of my "to-go-to" base makeup choices when it comes to client #TrueStory  That's why when I got an invite to learn about their newest The Flawless Skin, Zero line --- a line that gives finish with no hint of heaviness.  I knew I had to be there even if I just got back from sickness.

"The Flawless Skin, Zero, was based on an original Kate idea of aiming for sufficient coverage without a cakey feeling rather than delicate coverage."

AskMeMom Review: Scott's DHA Gummies

When I got pregnant for Kyle, it was the pregnancy the whole family and friends has been waiting for!  So I've got bits and pieces of pregnancy advices, and one big piece of advice from my best friend (Thanks Hen!)  is to take a type of Omega-3 Fatty Acid --- DHA, which is a building block for the baby's brain and eye development.  And I took that supplement consistently for my full pregnancy.

That's me!  5 months pregnant

And true enough, I can see the Benefits of taking DHA during pregnancy as my son was really advanced --- he knew his ABCs before he hits 2 years old, he can read and understand books at the age of 3 without much help needed from me.  His brain is so sharp he knows the street names in going to and from school.

A Concealer For the Dry Undereye Area

There are days when you wake up and look into the mirror and wished you have an "eraser" to erase all your skin troubles away?

I felt that the most for the past 2 weeks especially since I got really sick.  I've been taking medications and my skin is acting up.  Face literally peeling from dryness and as much as I hav my favorite concealers on-hand, some of them just enhance the dryness even more!

Good thing I remembered I own Benefit's Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer and I immediately used it for the full 2 weeks and it has been wonderful to me.

 Box is so cute, look literally like an eraser!

Inside, you have a cute twist-up packaging housed in a Benefit Pink Case.

Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer reminds me so much of Fake Up but I love the packaging of this one better.  It comes in 3 shades --- 01 Light, 02 Light Medium and 03 Medium.

 

I picked the middle shade, Light Medium which is 02.

Benefit Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer Says ---

"With the same hydrating formula as Benefit’s Fakeup Concealer, the Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer hides dark circles, while it visibly smooths the look of fine lines. This concealer stick is infused with vitamin E and apple seed extract to keep your skin hydrated for up to six hours while leaving a natural-looking, sheer finish. "

SilkyGirl Magic BB All-In-One Powder Foundation Review

When I posted about my new powder foundation from SilkyGirl, I've read raves on my comment box and private inbox and was told this is hailed to be one of the best Asian brand powder foundation.

Because of that statement, I immediately picked this one up and used it for a good full month.   The powder comes in 4 shades (01 Ivory, 02 Natural, 03 Medium and 04 Rose Beige) and I immediately picked 02 Natural which has a good amount of "warm" undertone perfect for my skin.

Also formulated with Powder La Vie and Silica to absorb excessive sebum for a shine-free, matte finish that lasts all day. Available in these 4 shades."

My 2 Favorite Pink Sugar Lip & Cheek Tints To Date!

Seldom can you find me say "Favorite" for a lip color, because how can you play favorites with all the shades you can play with?

BUT, Pink Sugar recently releases 2 new Sugar Tints and I can't seem to pick a favorite!  You help me out please!

2 new shades : Sugar Rush and No Filter 

Okay, the previous Sugar Tints I blogged --- Slay, Pillow Talk and Love Bug are great BUT, these 2 new shades warm up my sallow skin and it works really well even if I'm stressed, tired, sick and sleepy!  These 2 are my pick-me-upper and I can't help but think these were made specially for me *ahem* #FeelingSpecial  

But what I was trying to say was, these are meant not only for me but for most Filipinas!  Or let me correct that, these 2 shades are meant to be part of your lip collection whether you live on Earth or Outer Space!

Now let's get back to Earth and check out the swatches.  I personally think the colors aren't just gorgeous, there is something new about the formulation!  I find them more wearable, non-drying and they still get the same good pigmentation I had from the previous ones.
