Issy & Co Creme Cheek Blush in Gold Digger Review

 As a make up reviewer, I have my bias when it comes to make up reviews.

Lipsticks seem to be the "easiest to review" because we mostly wear lipstick and you can easily change from one color to another even within 1 minute or 2.  As for me, I have my bias in cheek color!  Why?  I find applying blush to instantly change my mood and overall look in a few swipes!

That said, when Issy & Co. sent me a bunch of their bestselling makeup to try, I started reviewing their creme blush right away!  Like THISINSTANT.

Can't blame me if this cream blush is so seamless and easy-to-apply and it stays.

Issy & Co Creme Cheek Blush

Shade: Gold Digger

Price: Php349.00

Available HERE

Issy & Co. says ---

A lightweight multi-use blush that melts into the skin creating a lit-from-within flush. The creamy formula is easy to blend and build to the desired intensity.

Gloriously easy to apply, this silky-smooth blush creates a youthful and healthy complexion with a natural finish.

I want to collect all their shades!
Their packaging, texture, shade choices are perfection!

If you have oily skin though, I suggest doing the sandwich method in application .  How?

1. Apply a good amount of cream blush on bare face.

2. Apply your choice of tinted moisturizer/foundation/powder foundation.

3. Apply another thin layer on top and dust with loose setting powder (if you have oily skin).

This technique will make your blush stay forever :P  Well not really...until make up removal is what I meant.

Do you own an Issy & Co. Creme Cheek Blush?
Which shade do you think I should go for next?

Pandora x The Little Mermaid

I own a few Pandora pieces over the years and most of them I keep them dearly because they mean so much to me.  

Recently, Pandora called my name once again when they released the Pandora x The Little Mermaid collection. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite Disney cartoon which I watched over and over again.  It was perfect timing that I also watched their Live Action movie  so this set means so much to me.

Pandora SVP Creative Directors A. Filippo Ficarelli and Francesco Terzo shaped a colletion centered around Ariel's fearless spriit and sense of freedom.  

"Our inspiration was drawn from the diverse characters and unlikely friendships that empower Ariel's story."  Ficarelli said.  Terzo added: "We hope these designs are a reminder for our fans to approach life with curiosity."

This is a seven-piece collection with styles including 14K gold-plated Seashell Stud Earrings and a 14K gold-plated Shell Dangle Charm engraved with the message "My voice is a treasure" on the spiral.

As for me, I got the Pandora Bracelet with 5 charms.

How hot does it get nowadays here in Manila?
36? 38? 39 degrees that felt like 20 degrees celsius?

I ended up getting lazier by the day to do my skincare!  But guess what?  I found a way to quickly prep my skin without adding heavy feel to the already humid weather!

It won't be perfect like what salon hairstylists do but I find this to be easiest if I wanted "some curls" and look made together before I head out!

I love long, straight hair, but I felt more confident with wavy locks!  That's just me!  But keep in mind to do this style not on a daily basis as your hair will be fried in no time!  Direct heat will always damage hair no matter how much you try to "protect" it with heat protectant!  The best protection you may do aside from using heat protectant is to deep condition your hair twice or thrice a week if you style your hair with heating tools A LOT!
