"Max Your Beauty" with the Honor 9 Lite!

I used to dislike taking photos of myself because the outcome is always "weird".  Weird in the sense that I don't look like myself and kind of feel like my face is distorted.  But taking selfies using back of the camera takes a whole lot of energy, talent and 6th sense!  Most of the time, I only get half of my face or maybe a full-yet-blurred face!

Just stop taking "Selfies" right?
Not in my case as a Beauty Blogger.

When I found a nice blush that matches my complexion, a lip color that made my dry lips healthy-looking or a face powder that looks oh-so-natural while covering red spots and under eye circles.  These are the moments I feel like whipping out a camera and share to the world my "Beauty Eureka Moments".  And when I share, I make it a point that the photos aren't half-baked!  I want them clear, true-to-life colors that would make readers or followers understand and see what I'm talking about - that's the power of caring by sharing!

So when I first heard about a new phone from Huawei called Honor 9 Lite thru my favorite online shopping app (https://shopee.ph) and the product got me at Quad Lens Camera!  

Fake Glowing Skin Without Looking Fake!

 When Benefit announced a new Box O' Powder is arriving, I was holding onto my seat trying hard not to squirm because I have always been a Box O' Powder collector!  Since the arrival of Benefit in the Philippines more than 5 years ago, I swore to myself I'll grab every single Box O' Powder available because I just love their blushes that way!

I've said it so many times on my Blog and #AMWIgStories , my first love is Hervana, then was moved to Galifornia because of the gorgeous glow it gives!  Don't let me start talking about each blush because they hold a very special place on my cheeks especially Dallas - learned how much I love this just last year!

So where is the blush you say?  I'm pointing it for you!

A lot of the Blush Maven may not like Gold Rush.  I was glad Gold Rush came in just this year because if this came out several years ago, I'll dislike it so much this may probably go straight to the deepest part of my blush drawer!   But because fake, glowing skin is IN right now, even beauty enthusiasts are starting to apply highlighters on the apples of the cheeks, well, no need for that BOOM CHEEKS look!  You can create highlighted, gorgeous-looking skin effect with Gold Rush.

Catrice Calligraph Ultra Slim Eyeliner Pen Review

Let me ask you a question --
"Are you comfortable in applying liquid liners?"
"Can you apply liquid liner even in a moving car?"

Okay, the second question was just there to catch your attention but my answer is YES!  Thankfully, I am at this stage of extreme comfort in applying liquid liners (all types and kinds) because I do so on a daily basis!

And when I thought I've tried everything, I've chanced upon a different brush liquid liner -- it's not just slim, it's longer than most liquid liner brushes I"ve tried.

Pink Sugar Velvet Matte Lipsticks Review

So I have the Pink Sugar Velvet Matte Lipsticks for quite sometime, been using them a lot and thought I've written a review about them but, after searching MY OWN Blog, I was shocked how I missed talking about these!

It has always been Sugar Tints for me when it comes to Pink Sugar, but, for some reason, I've found a nice Matte Lipstick that is similar to Sugar Tints --- not as highlight pigmented but similarly good for users with dry lips!

I got 5 newest shades for the year and they all look gorgeous!  Do you already have a favorite?

Housed in a black packaging with peek-a-poo plastic at the center, you can actually see the shade right away without opening the cap!  Similar to SNOE Lipstick packaging, you have to make sure to hear a "CLICK" after every use to make sure the lipstick won't roll up on its own inside your bag and ruin the lipstick!  ---> this happened to me so many times!

Etude House Silk Scarf Protein Ampoule Treatment Review

So I have always been a hair products girl, even inside a makeup and skincare land --- Etude House, I actually look forward to their "hair care products" area and look for unique products.

One product line that caught my attention is the SILK SCARF line.  With this line comes a slim box that says "Damage Protein Ampoule Treatment".

The product caught me at "Damage", so I grabbed it right away thinking this comes in a glass bottle or something like "facial ampoules".  

It was a nice surprise to see an "Injection" instead.  Thumbs up for packaging.
