Shiseido Revitalessence Foundation Review

 

June was indeed super crazy I realized I didn't write a single entry for the whole month.  That said, I wasn't that busy on my social media accounts though so if you want live update, I'm on AskMeWhats on Instagram --- shameless plugging!

Without much talking, just look at the photo below, can you spot the area that I used the Shiseido Revitalessence Foundation?  

Here's the answer!  Right side facing you is the one applied with Shiseido Revitalessence Foundation in shade 240.

Before and After photo

Shiseido's Revitalessence Skin Foundation is marketed as a serum-like foundation with a lightweight, glowy finish that aims to improve skin's radiance and evenness both instantly and overtime.  Think of a foundation that is also a Skincare!

OOTD: Call it Business Casual

 If I can stay inside a coffee shop for good, I'd do so!  I remembered staying daily in a random coffee shop spot at Quezon City because I would drive my son to school at 7am and pick him up at 12nn.  Instead of driving home to traffic-infested Manila..I would just take this opportunity to try random coffee shops and stay there for hours as I bring my laptop to work virtually.

Now that my son is already in Grade 7 - whew, time flew by sooo fast.  Staying in Random Coffee shops happen on weekends instead!  When I bond with my family or friends!  I still take this oppotunity to wear something nice and comfortable for me to feel good.

This look is one of my fave.  Both top and bottom I bought in a random Bazaar!  

Smart casual, very business meeting appropriate and very Nikki-style still!

How do you like this look?

Black and Orange OOTD

 

A pairing I never thought I'd enjoy!
BLACK AND BRIGHT ORANGE.

I got the Rivka Pleat Square Neck Romper from Love, Bonito online last year.  I have worn this Romper so many times I can't keep track.  

Though I do keep track on wearing these again and again on random events, from Birthdays to Brunch with girlfriends and now, to events.  I want to up my Orange Romper Game into a more cocktail-like setting.  Cute enough to hold a glass of champagne with this but still comfy enough because this is NOT a dress but a ROMPER!  

It also comes with pockets!

To make this classier, I paired this with a Celine thin belt and wore black heeled shoes with ankle straps!  I always get compliments wearing this pair from HK.  

Though high, the shoes are comfy to walk around Makati.  Yes, I tested it out parking far away from events place and I survived.

How do you like this look? Would you wear such pairing?

My black chiffon long sleeves is a very old outerwear which I bought on Sale at SM Department store!  

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

 

Kate Tokyo Transform Cheeks Review

 I love blushes! 

I love them so much I can actually get away without eye makeup but just a good blush and lipstick!  Ever since reviewing a lot of Blush and seeing my before and after application, I always perk up after every single  blush application!  Thus, I am leaning towards to it every single morning for a quick pick-me-upper!

And just when I thought I've seen it all!  I chanced upon Kate Tokyo's Newest Limited Edition Transform Cheeks Blush that comes in cream format.

Top: EX-1 and Bottom: EX-2

Kate Tokyo says ---

This versatile palette offers stunning shades that blend effortlessly, enhancing your natural beauty for any occasion. Perfect for all skin tones.

Swatches: Top: EX-2  Bottom: EX-1

Based from Cheek Swatches alone, I favors EX-1 the most because it appears purplish on me and I am biased to Purple Cheek Color.  Though on pan it has a swirly green and blue cream color shades, the after effect on my medium, warm tone skin is medium lilac color.  It does have a subtle glowing effect and very natural flush.

EX-2 on the other hand is orange on pan with specks of light brown color.  Once applied on cheeks, it appears yellow and more like a subtle bronzer color minus the shimmers.  It has lesser glowing effect as EX-1 and I call this color to be perfect for the summer season or when I am opting for a healthy summer-glow makeup look.

Elevate Your Regular Fit

 

How do I elevate a regular errand fit?  By adding a nice structured blazer!

It also helps that you pick shorts in neutral shade that has pleats and a good length.  Not too long nor too short.

The shorts is my favorite cream shorts from Love, Bonito.

A nice classy belt also does the drink!

And lastly, a nice blazer that I shopped from Rihoas.

It also helped to change your regular flats to heeled shoes and you're off to a classier vibe!

Watch a quick video here on how I easily transformed from Simple to Classy.
