Y.O.U. Rouge Velvet Matte Lip Cream Review

 

How does it feel to use a lipstick that works so well on your skin tone?

I can answer that with the smile on this photo!

Y.O.U. Beuauty Rouge Velvet Matte Lip Cream

Available HERE

Php329.00 (On Sale now for Php269.00)

I got 3 shades to try and The Rouge Velvet Matte Lip Cream consists of a smooth and lightweight formula that leaves lips feeling comfortable and moisturized throughout the day.  I was actually shocked how comfortable this felt considering my current lip condition - very VERY dry.

 Texture is super smooth and pigmentation of the lip cream is highly pigmented.  Check out these swatches, I get this shade in a SINGLE swipe.

Innisfree Black Tea Youth Enhancing Line Review

 

RESET your skin.

That is a strong statement that caught my attention when I saw the Innisfree NEW START kit which includes 3 products from Black Tea Youth Enhancing Line.

Intensive skincare solution that quickly resets the look of skin with Reset Concentrate extracted from Jeju Black Tea, offering immediate relief effect for fatigued skin.  (Anti-aging/Brightening Functional)

“Reset” in my mind is like having a full, stress-free 8-hour sleep with a full blown skincare application the night before.  Is it possible for someone who sleeps late and uses only 3 products?  I tested this set immediately and here are the results!   

Innisfree NEW START with Black Tea Ampoule Set

 

Includes:

• Black Tea Youth Enhancing Ampoule (50ml)
• Black Tea Youth Enhancing Cream (10ml)
• Black Tea Youth Enhancing Skin (50ml)

Weekend Style for Busy Moms

 

Hello AMW Friends.

How are you?  I guess the Alert Level of COVID-19 is going down so I hope you guys are taking this chance to visit your loved ones but make sure to protect yourself to be able to protect your loved ones as well.

I usually use my weekend to visit my parents, I haven’t visited them since the start of 2022 due to the sudden surge of OMICRON cases.  See how excited I was to visit them?

Visiting parentals and dropping by restaurant and buying them some groceries is my chance to dress up comfortably.  I also used a long-sleeved top as a cover-up so I can easily remove it before heading straight home after all my errands.

I also used this cute bag from Beyond The Vines 

The cute Micro Dumpling Bag comes in various colors and it is foldable!  Yes you can fold it so small (like a palm of your hand) for storage.  Also, I love it that it comes with a long strap so I can move around hands free!  

Y.O.U. Beauty Radiance White BB Cream Swatches

The Radiance White BB Cream by Y.O.U Beauty is formulated to be free of parabens, synthetic fragrances, alcohol, and mineral oil. 

To suit a wide range of skin tones, it comes in three variants: 01 Vanilla for fair skin, 02 Almond for medium light to medium deep skin, and 03 mocha for deep to medium skin.

The Radiance White BB Cream by Y.O.U is designed to give skin a flawless look with a lightweight feel, while brightening skin and keeping it safe from the sun’s rays. The flawless natural look is made possible by Soft Marshmallow Powder that covers blemishes and makes the skin’s texture feel smoother. The Triple Bright Activator composed of Snow Mushroom, Niacinamide, and Vitamin C brightens, hydrates, and maintains skin elasticity, while SPF 40 and PA+++ are broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays.

I haven’t tried these for long but I am sharing swatches as early as now for you to have an idea what to choose if you plan to purchase online.

Clean Concealing Tips

 

“Your skin looks good!”

“You look blooming!”

Are just some of the kind words I get or compliments when I post a photo of me or video of me on Instagram.  I am extremely grateful fo those kind words but I will always stay true to who I am ever since I started this Blog year 2008.

IT IS MAKEUP!  I don’t use filters (I only use Photo editors for Cropping and brightening) but I use Makeup as my “filter”.  

You probably know that if you watch my random IG stories where I would randomly show up sans makeup so my eyebags and redness show up in Hi-Def cameras!  

And the best way to apply makeup as most books and beauty experts would say: “Less is More!”.

I agree and disagree on that statement.  Less is more on some areas of your face but concealing may need a bit more than usual if you need heavier coverage.  

This, maybe just a first layer of concealing, you can go 2nd or 3rd layer AS NEEDED and NO, it won’t look unnatural as long as you picked th right shade. 

Did you know that Obvious makeup can be seen if you picked a wrong tone or shade of makeup?  Now you know!

So if you are a long time reader and maybe attended a few of my makeup workshops, I’ve mentioned this so many times, you won’t overdo makeup application if you pick the right tone and shade.  That is the secret of most Korean and Japanese makeup artist that is why they look like their skin is perfect but in reality, they also have pores and lines because they are HUMAN!

So I will stop blabbing and share a quick video on how to conceal.  

Keep this in mind:

More is good on areas that needed the most coverage and Less Is More on areas that needed light coverage.  

Confused?

Don’t worry, you’ll see what I’m trying to say in this video!
