Make Up For Ever Artist Face Color Blush in B308 Review

Forever tropical on your cheeks?
That's all I have to say whenever I pick the blush from Make Up For Ever!  The Artist Face Color Blush is B308 is my current favorite and you'll see it why....

It registers so well on photos and looks great in person!

I got a refill of this because I have a magnetic pan which you can purchase also from the brand!  It fits perfectly without any tape because it is well..Magnetic!  I did say so right? 

This color screams Bright Warm Coral shade!  If you have medium to dark complexion, this would melt so well into your skin creating a nice depth and "highlight"!  Yes --- 2 opposite words in a sentence...is it even possible? 

Swatch:  B308

This looks bright on swatch but it appears really nice on skin!  It does not look like you have a fake-looking blush powder on instead, it brightens up your whole complexion with a nice satin-matte finish!  

Nailympics: Battle of the Salon Nail Artists 2019!

Nail Art has been an integral part in my Beauty Blogging journey.

I can't even search my own blog post on my FIRST EVER nail art design because I was loaded with Nail Art entries!  It was at least 1 nail art tutorial a week and I've been blogging Daily for so long!

Just like nail art, my own nail art tutorials stopped when I gave birth to Kyle.  Taking care of my nails was the least to worry because I'd rather sleep than to polish my nails.

Fast forward to several years after, when I got more time on hands and Kyle does not demand my schedule as much, I am glad to do more tutorials and even widen the reach to not only Blogs but Instagram and Facebook!

It was a best timing for me for a comeback as NAIL ART itself did a HUGE comeback last week with the first NAILYMPICS: Battle of the Salon Nail Artists organized by Beauty & Wellness Manila, Girlstuff and GlobalLink MP!

And not only that, I was honored to be invited as their first HOST as well!

What's in store for the top 3?

I clearly understood the jitters backstage!

Benefit Boi-ing Cakeless Concealer Initial Thoughts #AMWIGtv

I live for concealers!

Well, it used to be lip balm (you all know that), but ever since having a son and being a hands-on mom, sleeping for full 8 hours is next to impossible so I rely heavily on concealers for me to face clients, friends and THE WORLD :P

When Benefit launched their newest Benefit Boi-ing Cakeless Concealer (Php840.00) , I tested it out right away!  

This was the video of my first try.
See how I easily change my mind because this concealer is unique in SO MANY WAYS!  Watch and let me know your thoughts about this concealer!

Let's Gold Palette Look #AMWIGtv

One thing I love about Hostings, I learn so much during work!

I recently hosted one of the Masterclass from Make Up For Ever with Master Jake Galvez.  It was an early morning call time so I had my makeup and hair done at the event proper.  The make up artist, Raymund, quickly did my makeup and the outcome was amazing! 

One thing I immediately asked of him: "What eyeshadow did you use?"  He showed me the Let's Gold Palette. 

And it wasn't a surprise when Jake Galvez himself championed the palette by creating a gorgeous eye makeup look to his chinita model using the same palette! 

That's it!  I want one!  And thankfully, the Masterclass KIT curated by Jake Galvez himself includes the Let's Gold palette.  

Of course, I had to use it and create my own version of a Golden Sunset look!  Watch my quick video and let me know if you like this look!
