Beauty Bar's Cult Summer Favorites...and mine too!

So summer is here more than a month ago, but it was just recent that I honestly feel it!
Everywhere I go, even inside the air-conditioned room, I am perspiring like crazy!  And instead of the usual "Hot Cafe Latte" that I order, I always ended up ordered Iced Latte!  Even my afternoon coffee session consist of me, my mason jar, coffee with LOADS of ice! 

Now, I know how to cool myself inside but how do I get ready and still maintain that "fake freshness" on the outside?

Thankfully, Beauty Bar has all the answers!  Beauty products should also adhere to the season, just like our food and beverage intake, just like our wardrobe too! 

My choice of clothing will always be shorts and sleeveless top until end of the month --- thank you!

Beauty Bar presents its Summer Cult Favorites and I get to know them during the event and they are turning out to be my favorite too! 

Dr. PawPaw

A first for me to see this brand.  The British brand is best known for its outstanding blend of Pawpaw fruit, aloe vera and olive oil ingredients, the original balm has been given the royal approval, counting the Countess of Wessex, Sophie Wessex, among its fans.  

Looking for an Eye Brightener Pencil?

Like other Beauty Bloggers, I'm sure at one time in your "Beauty Blogging Life", you've used a white eyeliner pencil to "brighten up" your eyes!  Admit it girlfriends, because I'm raising both of my hands up high because I'm super guilty for that!

As much as White eyeliner pencil is indeed effective for that "Ullzang Makeup look", I'm sure there's a more subtle version for daily use...and I've found it through Cargo Swimmables Eye Pencil in Secret Beach.

Cargo Swimmables Eye Pencil (Php850.00)

"Three shades added to the iconic long-wearing, waterproof eyeliner collection. The Swimmables™ Eye Pencils feature a rich, creamy formula with the feel of a liquid and the versatility of a pencil. These transfer-resistant, extreme wear pencils glide on smoothly and effortlessly locking comfortably in place for up to 14 hours.Now available in three highly-pigmented shades, including the Black Sea (Black), Pebble Beach (Brown), Secret Beach (Nude)."

Out of the 3 shades available, I found this particular shade to be the most unique and can work as a best-kept secret for Pro Makeup Artists like myself.

Cargo Swimmables Water Resistant Blush Los Cabos Review

The Canadian brand Cargo has been around for years, even the time I was just starting out blogging!  One of the most coveted Cargo product (for me) are their Water Resistant Bronzer.   So after years of waiting and stalking online stores, I'm glad the brand has finally decided to reach our shores with the help of Beauty Bar! 

Cargo Swimmables Water Resistant Blush are available in 3 lovely shades ---

• Los Cabos: Soft tangerine
• Ibiza: Shimmering hot pink
• Bali: Medium rose pink

And I got myself the Soft Tangerine shade which I originally wanted because this is called a Nars Orgasm Dupe.

(Side story: If you are a long time beauty blogger, you'll understand why we have this crazy "need" to look for Nars Orgasm Dupe!)

Housed in a very simple tin can, you get a huge C and the brand name embossed.  As simple as it looks, I actually like this!

Cargo says ---

CARGO Swimmables Blush delivers an effortless summer glow that stays put rain or shine – perfect while lying poolside, spending the day at the beach or just being outdoors on a hot day. This longwearing formula withstands perspiration so you don’t have to fuss with reapplication while micronized light diffusers work to ensure a gorgeously natural, non-shiny glow. The silky smooth texture layers easily for added intensity as desired. Paraben-Free.

Cargo Cosmetics is Now Exclusively Sold at Beauty Bar

When I just started out on Beauty Blogging almost a decade ago, I love to shop online and stalk fellow International Beauty Bloggers and salivate over various makeup brands not available locally!  One of the distinct brands I remembered "hoping and praying" to arrive our shores are Benefit Cosmetics, Urban Decay and Cargo Cosmetics.  

Who would've thought Cargo Cosmetics, the Canadian makeup brand, is finally within reach?  I thought I was dreaming until I attended the launch last week!  

Cargo Cosmetics is NOT a new cosmetics brand, it has been around for 20 years now and has been a staple on the sets of film and television.  And did you know that the HD line was created for the casts of Desperate Housewives? 

It was during the launch that I realized Cargo Cosmetics is not just a regular makeup brand, Cargo Cosmetics offers a wide breathe of color cosmetics and tools that allow every woman to customize her beauty look with confidence and ease!  It was a whole range of High Definition Collection, Swimmables Collection and other best-selling products that was put on display which took my breathe away!
