MAC Lightful C³ Emulsion and Compact Cushion Review

 

When MAC Lightful  C³  was officially released, a lot are intrigued by it because it focuses on keeping the skin plump, hydrating, glowing and best of all, perfect for everyday use!

I was able to try 2 products from the collection --- MAC Lightful  C³  Emulsion and Cushion!  

After using these 2 products for a month, I am ready to share my thoughts!

MAC Lightful  C³  Emulsion
Php 2,250.00

MAC Lightful  C³  Cushion Compact
approx. Php 2,800

Available HERE Or Rustans

MAC Lightful  C³  Emulsion ---

Instant hydration and softening with a rosy tone-up effect.  Skin appears brighter, more radiant and more even-toned, immediate and over time.

Here's what I noticed after consistently using the emulsion.  Skin feels immediately soft and smooth (like baby's bum!)  Since my skin is hydrated, it gives a glowing effect making my skin looks alive and plump!

The plump and hydration lasts for hours so I don't have issues using drying foundation because my skin is well-hydrated throughout the day.  I also noticed how my skin has an instant tone-up!  And I don't have any allergic reactions using such product.

Since I have sensitive nose, there is quite a strong fragrance for me which goes away after 10 minutes to 15 minutes.  Others will not notice this but because of my sensitivity, I really prefer skincare products to be fragrance-free - that's just me!

K-Palette 1Day Lash Up Silky Volume vs Silky Length First Try

It is a battle of Volume and Length today!
Well for me, someone with non-existent Asian lashes, there is no battle between the 2 as I use both every single mascara time! 

Either 2 types or Falsies!  End of discussion!

When K-Palette launched their 1Day Lash Up Mascaras locally, I immediately unboxed and tested these out!  

K-Palette 1Day Lash Up Mascara 

Available in Silky Long and Silky Volume

(Php945.00 each)

"The new and improved 1Day Lash Up mascara contains nano-sized "Powder" particles that allow you to achieve beautifully long or volumized lashes without clumps. This waterproof formula is resistant to sweat, tears, oil, and humidity. The advanced curling technology uses a unique 9-degree square-cut brush that lifts lashes all day long without the use of a lash curler beforehand."

I tried both and found the best way to use these ...well, I stay true to what I've always been doing!  Use both Length and Volume!  I prefer using separate mascaras because it gives a more obvious result!  

Thankfully, based from First Try, the K-Palette 1Day Lash Up mascaras stayed true to their claims of the ff.: 

• Does not clump.
• Weightless indeed.
• Sweat-proof
• Oil-proof (I tried rubbing my oil based makeup remover a bit and it did not remove or scather like normal mascaras)

I did a first try video and I apologize in advance if you don't see much result because my lashes are super sparse but do believe what I have to say in this video!

Stay happy!

 

Ellana's Multi Color Creams First Try

 

I have been using Ellana products a couple of times and reviewed a couple of their new releases.  You may click HERE if you don't believe me but I am sure you do as I have tried so many makeup brands on this Blog!

My ultimate favorite from this brand will always be their Loose Mineral Powder foundation in French Vanilla and once a long time ago, my face was actually the model for that shade on their website.  So receiving a care package from the brand brought me back to so many good old memories.

Just in time for the care package, they included their newest products called Multi-Color Creams.  I got 4 shades to try and I shared how I'd use them on eyes, cheeks and lips!

Here's the simple look I created setting everything with their Setting Spray.

San San Cosmetics NEW Products Release

 

San San Cosmetics, the brainchild of HBC has been around for years!  I have tried several of their products in the past and there were a few hit and miss.  I mean I can't complain, if you are starting out on makeup and want some good, quality makeup without breaking the bank, you may look into this but their newest collection deserves a whole lot of attention!

I  mean I have all the shades sent to me via PR box but I only get to try one of each so keep in mind that this is just my initial thoughts!  If you want a specific product in-depth review, feel free to comment here and I'll happily do so!

The 2020 makeup collection consists of the following: 

San San HD Stellar Eyes Color Cream Pens (Php195.00 each)

San San HD Lip Crayons (Php225.00)

HD Ethereal Glow Highlighters (Php192.00 each)

I have tried one from each of the collection and actually tried both Ethereal Glow Highlighters because they are too beautiful to pass!

Strokes Beauty Lab: The Brow Artist Collection First Try

 

Hi AMW Friends!
You all know I love drawing my brows.  Whenever I have them drawn, I get compliments on the shape and how full it was!  I guess that is my most "flexed" part of my face!  :P

So if you ask me, YES, I still gets excited about new brow products even after more than 10 years of trying various brands!

The Brow Collection includes: Microblade Pen, Brow Painter, Brow Sculptor Duo, 

Brow Colorist and Brow Fixer

Recently, Instagram was flooded with a new brow brand called Strokes BeautyLab.  I mean all the girls posing their photos look great!  But what got me interested with the brand is how even non makeup wearers are starting to look like they have professional-looking brows!  

And you all know me, I have to give these products a try as well!  So I unboxed everything and did a quick swatch for you guys just in case you are interested in investing on good brow products.  And to keep everything simplified, I created another video discussing on the usage of each product and you'll know which particular product (or products) you should get!
