Maybelline x ITZY Supermattes by Colorsensational (Swatches + Review)

 

How in the world I managed to swatch all 10 shades of lipsticks in one go?

Beats me!

I get surprised myself!  But thankfully, it wasn’t hard with the new Maybelline X ITZY Supermattes By Colorsensational.  In swatch made me go OOOHHH and AHHHH.  Maybelline, you never fail to create wonderful shades apt for Filipinas!  I just can’t get enough of these!

The TIU Household has been on a KPOP craze for almost 2 years now and we have been playing non stop music including ITZY songs for their catchy beat!  So it wasn’t a surprise when this girl group that debuted 2019 called ITZY is the newest global spokesmodel!  Members are Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna!  They are the first K-pop stars to represent Maybelline and first music group to ever do so!

I am way past KPOP star era but that does not mean I can’t enjoy the benefits of it!  Are you ready for 10 shades from this collection?

Before you say anything, I am sure they have their own names but all I see on my tubes are numbers (I got a PR KIT for this but please note all opinions and reviews are MINE.)

Newly-Opened Sales Hub to SYNC Your Life with Your Dreams

 

My brother, who is an architect in China wants to stay updated with residences offered here in the Philippines!  I’ve said it a couple of times in my blog about our journey around the Metro looking for a nice place to be called Home and a place for investment!  With a top-notcher Architect Brother on my side (Top20 in the Philippines) whenever we do some oculars, I get some ideas on what to watch out for.

Since RLC Residences was officially launched to the public, I already put this on our list-to-visit when my brother comes home for a visit after the pandemic! 

 

SYNC, is an uban oasis along C5 Road by RLC Residences.  Officially opening SYNC Sales Hub are key executives from RLC Residences.

Leading the ribbon-cutting ceremony and officially opening the Sales Hub are Head of Raise Sales Channel Ms. Cecille M. Mozo, Senior Director for Business Development Department Engr. Edgardo Samson, Associate Marketing Director Ms. Kristynne B. Tan, and SYNC Project/Site Architect, Arch. Roquelle Joy Egagamao-Batocabe.

Update: Nose Contour Technique

 

I wish I could get a nose surgery…seriously…if that’s one thing I can get to do on my face….nose it is!

I mean obviously, there are several parts of my face that I want to change….(just being honest here) BUT, I can do away with false lashes, to make my eyes appear larger, I honestly like my one-liner eye whenever I smile but there’s nothing I can do to change my nose unless I use makeup.

Obviously, even when I get to be offered with free NOSE surgery, I will NEVER take the offer —- for so many reasons.

1. I’m a scaredy cat.

2. I have many allergies so beauty enhancements with surgery will NEVER cross my mind.

3. My husband loves my nose as it is….he’s fallen in love with me since Senior High ok? :P  (Haba  ng hair ko I know! :P)

So through the years, I almost perfected nose contouring especially my own!  So please…don’t judge me when you see me in person —- it’s not the filter…it’s always the makeup for me! :P

Can you spot the difference in both photos? 

If you have to look closely, that is a compliment for me, that means, the change is subtle you have to look closely to see the change! 

A quick video shared on my Instagram account using Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer Duo!  The easiest tool to use not only to conceal but to contour and highlight.

Hairstyle Tutorial: Ribbon-Tail

Lady Gaga days..ahhhh I still remember thosedays when everyone’s been doing ribbon-hairstyle but I just can’t manage to create one because number 1, my hair is short and number 2, my hair used to be super layered!  

Honestly, if not because of COVID-19, I am probably stll sporting a shoulder-length layered cut because I have this addiction to spend time and relax in a salon!  

Because.I have been sharing ideas on how to upstyle your regular ponytail —- yes, I have been living on ponytail since Pandemic because I want to make sure my hair is out of my face whenever I go out!  Here’s another take of a ponytail style!
