Kanebo Luster Cream Foundation Review

The last time I used a cream foundation housed in a gorgeous bottle like this, is from Paul & Joe which is also a Japanese brand. 

How I love the Japanese cosmetics brand when it comes to packaging - how luxe they feel yet still remain the simplicity - just like how we like in our Beauty Regimen.

I recently tried the Kanebo Luster Cream Foundation.  
Let me tell you upfront right now, this foundation is expensive as compared to the usual drugstore or mid-range foundations I feature here, but... I don't mind paying premium when it comes to foundations especially if I plan to use this on my lovely brides for their super special day!

And maybe, just maybe, after you scrolled down and see my before and after photo, you'll understand why this earned raves amongst Beauty Enthusiasts worldwide.

Kanebo Luster Cream Foundation Says ---

A rich textured cream foundation that achieves a flawless, luminous finish like porcelain. The complexion is instantly more luminous and visibly evener. The enriched formula creates a smooth porcelain skin with comfort.

Available in 8 Shades

Cloud Cosmetics Pepper Tint Gel Lip Tint Review

Happy Lippie Monday!

I have chanced upon the local brand Eden's Paradise way back and loved their lip product so much I created a special blog posts.

Fell in love with the shade Nude Teddy.  Then went ahead and tried their Lip Custard Cream in Winterberry.

When I heard about the change of brand from Eden's Paradise to Cloud Cosmetics, I am actually happy for the brand as packaging looks cute!  I am not an expert and hope a representative from Cloud Cosmetics would tell us the real deal but I felt the Pepper Tint Gel Lip Tint is actually different from the 2 products I used from Eden's Paradise.  I could be wrong, but I felt I'm right!  *laughs*

Cloud Cosmetics Pepper Tint Gel Lip Tint 

Php249.00

Weekend Food Trip at : Gyu Kaku

So I kind off fell in love with Restaurant Booking Apps like Booky and Eatigo.  I am so addicted in searching good deals most of the restaurant I dine in have at least 10% discount just because I'm #tita like that.  

One restaurant I always see and pass by whenever I am at the Shangri-la Plaza Mall is called Gyu Kaku.  I've read positive reviews from Food Bloggers so I finally cave in and booked for the family on a Sunday night.

Assorted Mushrooms with Butter

Php295.00

This dish may look like something you wouldn't order because who would pay almost Php300.00 just for mushrooms?  Ahm... ME!

Something New: Good Virtues Co.

When I met up with my Sampleroom Family last year for Thanksgiving Party, I always ended up feeling joyours and happy not because it was the season but because for the fact that I am around gorgeous women who share the love for beauty like I do.  

We chat and catch up about our personal lives at the same time, share new beauty finds!  From Japanese Rice Cooker to kitchen scrub that really works *laughs*  we went back to being a Beauty Blogger when we were each given a Good Virtues Co. set to try.

Let's go beyond how cute their packaging are, the brand is from Malaysia and all the products are free from mineral oil, SLES, ALES, parabens, synthetic colourants and are NOT tested on animals!  

That is the focus of Good Virtues Co. --- feel and look beautiful without sacrificing our values.

The brand has full product range from hair care to skincare, I got 4 products to try and I took a leap on their shampoo and conditioner first.

Good Virtues Co. Happy & Heavenly Clarifying Hair & Scalp Shampoo for Oily Hair 

Good Virtues Co. Helpful & Delightful Anti-Dandruff Care Conditioner for Nourishing Hair Fall Protection 

Php160.00 each for 180ml

Tip for the Day: How to Prevent Dry Skin After Base Makeup Application?

Have this happened to you after finishing up all the steps of base makeup?

GASP!

It happened to me so many times (and to my clients) I'm actually NOT freaking out anymore!  The first time it happened to me was in the middle of work with a very important client and I want to cry right there and then ---> that was 10 years ago and I'm thankful there are so many products that can aid situations like this!

I've shared so many ways to making sure your foundation won't dry out your skin!  Example - How to Keep Your Skin from Looking Dry.
