Ellana Sheer Velvet HD Powder Review

I remember those times when "Mica Powders" are IN!  

From the most sought after Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Powder to no-brand that I purchase from online stores in the US --- they arrive in "tubs" by the way and I still have them today!

But truthfully, they all belong inside my professional make up KIT because a long time AMW reader would understand why I don't need them. 

I have VERY DRY SKIN and most of the time, Mica Powders dry them out even more and create rough patches!

Not until I've tried the Ellana Sheer Velvet HD Powder!  Thankful for the brand for supporting my AMW Workshop Series Last year, they gave each participant their own Sheer Velvet HD Powder and I was able to try one!

A Subtle Contour Powder for Fair Complexion!

Remember my favorite daily contour powder from Pony Effect?  If you don't, feel free to click link HERE and reread my old post!  I loved it so much I actually hit the pan and I don't know if I get to order from Althea again because they are always out-of-stock.

Yes, I have a couple of nice-looking contour powders for the face that I use on a daily basis but there are really days I'm craving for that super natural contour powder that looks almost seamless and invisible to the naked eye.  

What's the point of applying if it looks invisible you say?

Well, it gives a nice effect on Photos and #AMWIgStories ! hahaha Arte no?  But hey, a girl gotta do something to look nice for you guys!  #GroupHug nga!

So back to my subtle contour powder story!  The Pony Effect Contour Powder in Crony has a bit of a warmer undertone and some of you can see that on my review post!  Today, I'm sharing the same effect but this time, on a cooler undertone and you don't need to log online to purchase one!  It is easily accessible in Inglot Stores!

Celeteque Eyebrow Defining KIT Review

 When Celeteque created their own Cosmetics line under DermaCosmetics+ , I've reviewed a couple of their makeup products in this blog but took some time to use their Eyebrow Defining Kit because I've got my "Loyalty" on some brow products that I can't seem stay away from them.

But since receiving a couple of requests for a review on this particular product, I pulled out the shade Medium Brown just because I think it's the safest and easiest color to wear!

Housed in a simple plastic white packaging with the brand printed (similar packaging to ALL their makeup products), I like it that they are simple and straightforward.

In here, you get a KIT and they mean it when they say it's a KIT!  You get a Brow Powder, a Brow Wax and a dual-ended brush!  I am actually impressed!

SNOE FLASH ON Instant Lash Extension Mascara KIT Review

In all honesty, I do not wear mascara on a daily basis, I almost do not wear them at all (that explains why I don't review a lot of mascaras nowadays).  

Why?

Well, either my lashes are turning shorter than ever or I'm not easily impressed with mascaras anymore after most of my favorites seem to be discontinued.

Most of the time, you'll see me in person fully made up with either bare lashes or falsies! 

When Snoe Flash On Instant Lash Extrension Mascara KIT arrived at my doorstep, I gave it a try right away and did an #AMWIgStories .  Honestly speaking, it didn't do so much on sparse lashes like mine but I was impressed for many reasons!

Well, firstly, this is locally made brand so I'm excited and proud of it!  Now, this KIT comes with 2 products - a Gel Mascara and a Lash Fiber (Php999.00).

Product Description

It is very important to follow instructions for the product to work!

Flash On Instant Lash Extension Mascara is a three-step lash extension system that includes a mascara gel base/ sealer and nylon lash fibers. Unlike traditional mascaras, this system contains lightweight nylon fibers that adhere to your own lashes so you easily get longer, thicker and dramatically beautiful lashes within seconds.

Bare Pop and Raspberry Pop For Me and You

When I pick a green tube of Clinique Lipsticks, I always know in my heart (whether I look at the shade name or not) that the color will always come out natural.  That's how I think they were for the past years.

But recently, after the launch of Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer and Liquid Color, I knew the brand is changing their lip color game!

Thankfully, these lippies have the same luxurious-feel with a weightless formulation thus giving my lips that strong, bold and saturated color without drying out my already dry lips!  And because it is Clinique, they have the same Fragrance-Free, Allergy-Tested promise!

And because they are good, I'm so glad I got 2 new shades (sample sizes though but good enough for travel)

Same tube packaging that features the same shade of the lipstick inside which I honestly LOVE!
