Makeup for Video Conference #AMWIGtv

As much as I would like to be the first one to say: "Just be who you are!"  "You don't need to put on makeup when you have a video call or conference calls with colleagues or boss, they would understand you!"

Well, they would, but let's not forget to still put our best face forward whenever we make video calls!  Same as to what I always believe in, making sure you look good before you face a person means they get the respect they deserve.  Correct me if I'm wrong, some of you may disagree (feel free to comment below), but I believe looking good is not only done to impress other people, but it also made me feel more powerful and confident whenever I face clients or bosses online!

This makeup look I've created is simple and easy to do, I can easily create this look in 10 minutes less and you may opt to create a different version depending on what you're comfortable in.  As for me, the basic requirements are -- Concealer and a bit of color on eyes, cheeks and lips so I feel more alive and can actually transmit energy to the person I am talking to! 

It doesn't hurt to grab a nice top, okay to wear pajamas below but please remember DO NOT STAND UP! :P

I hope you can watch this short video and let me know if you enjoyed this!

Banila Co. Clean It Zero Review

I've had this Banila Co. Clean It Zero for quite some time now, I just had the chance to use this after using up my Micellar Waters.  (Inuubos ko kasi talaga guys!  Mommy-ing mommy eh!)

So I finally gave this a try after reading so many raves online!

Banila Co. Clean It Zero Says ---

Includes 2 pieces of the Clean It Zero Classic which has acerola and papaya exracts to brighten and exfoliate the skin. For all skin types.

Banila Co. Color Correct CC Color Spot Concealer Review

Who loves concealer and depend on them as much as I do?  Raise your hands please!

I use them up so much I keep on purchasing them!   As much as I have my favorites on top of my head, I can't help but try different brands and share to you my thoughts on them.

Are you ready for another concealer review this time from Banila Co.?

Well, technically, the real concealer from the brand is called Real Stay Concealer which I reviewed HERE,  the brand may be into natural-looking makeup, I was a bit surprised as well that they offer CC line (Color Correction).  Don't worry though, this line is more on the subtle side, not the PRO shades wherein you need to have a bit of makeup artistry background to be able to pull it off.

This is subtle, and I like it for daily use!

Product Description

(Korean)

If you're running out of time but want to look flawless, the It Radiant CC Color Spot Concealer is something you should own.

Contrary to typical skin-toned concealers, the It Radiant CC Color Spot Concealer comes in various color correcting shades to quickly even out your skin tone. It is packaged conveniently in a thin twist stick that is compact and easy to carry. If your skin concerns are isolated in a small area of your face, this would easily spot correct them in a whim. Simply dab on the trouble areas and blend away with your fingers.

Real Stay Concealer for the New Year!

How does one test a concealer to know if it works?

Strip off all your makeup and do the half-face test, step back, check your reflection and you go about your day and see if you still have a "Half-Face Difference" by the time you're ready to remove your makeup.

My method worked, although I usually do that when I don't go out because I'd probably look like some crazy Tita on-the-loose!

Before 2017 ended, I was able to rush another concealer review because I have been using up such makeup product so fast I can't deny that my bags are getting darker every single day!  The Banila Co Cover10 Real Stay Concealer caught my full attention when I visited their store at Robinsons Place Ermita, I immediately tested and used this product and came into a conclusion that this concealer ROCKS!

B. By Banila Pink Chou Cream Review

I have a lot of favorite Cheek Tints but there's ONE that I've been using constantly for the past weeks!  It is so easy to apply I can't believe it's even a cheek tint!  (As we all know, most Cheek tints are easy-to-apply but they tend to require Flash-like fingers and hands).  With this particular one, I can actually take time in blending and applying and have a non-blotchy cheek color so natural you wouldn't know I have something on!  (Beware guys!  Another trade secret from us girls! :P)

B. By Banila Water Cheer Water Cheek

Shade: Pink Chou Cream PK02

Php595.00 (approx $12.30)

A liquid cheek tint with a powdery finish that gives a natural-looking blush. Lightweight, buildable and is best paired with a cushion foundation.

Banila Co. Christmas Gift Ideas

So Banila Co. launched in Manila last year and the brand was in steady-mode for quite some time.  Then, when I passed by their branch at Robinsons Manila branch as I was rushing to complete my Holiday Shopping list turned into a Store Photo-Op because the brand changed not only the look of the store but the packaging and even pricing!  

The all-new Banila Co now comes in sleeker and more modern packaging and more product choices especially on skincare! 

So, I had to take a photo on the "I Woke Up Like This" station even if I really look like I literally woke up and walked straight into the store --- in rubber shoes!

Banila Co. Prime Primer Classic Review

Last month, I went to the grand launch of Banila Co. in the Philippines and mentioned to you how I'm most excited to try is their Prime Primer Classic.  This is a matte type of primer that I believe is meant for all skin types.

If you are a fan of the Beauty Program Get It Beauty, this primer from Banila Co. is ranked first in terms of pore, cover, texture, natural and long-lasting!  Now, who wouldn't want to give this a try?

And I did and will definitely share my thoughts after the jump!

Banila Co is Finally Here --- The Grand Launch

When I started out on makeup, I was almost on Ebay everyday and I knew all the brands of makeup by heart!  Most Asian brands caught my attention especially Japanese and Korean and I'm glad most of them are available here!  Well, one of my favorite brand Skin79 may still be quiet but I'm glad Banila Co is finally arriving our shores!

I've done a review on Banila Co's IT Radiant CC Cream (Thanks Smile for giving me sample) and it's almost part of the "most recommended" product when someone ask me about CC creams!  No wonder Banila Co is the most multi-awarded Korean cosmetics brand in the field of base makeup!  Because their primers, foundations, CC Creams mostly focus on "Lit from Within".

And just so you know, Banila Co opened its first store in Glorietta 4 last November 14 and will soon open its doors in Robinson's Place Manila and other prime malls in Metro Manila and key provinces..YAY!

So here I am, all smile because I know the brand has a lot to offer!

The launch was held at Marco Polo last November 23 with Sam Oh as their host with live makeup demonstration from Chief Makeup Artist Mr. Kangpil Kim.
