Review: Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint

If I were to choose between a lipstick and a lip tint, I would choose the latter without thinking twice. I love how lip tints stay on the lips even after eating and it doesn’t get on your teeth. =D

Moving on with today’s review…

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in No. 2

According to Etude House, the Fresh Cherry Tint “promotes moist and shiny cherry lips with a creamy, smooth texture.” 

Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream

(I’m so sorry it took me a year to post this review)

I used Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream for about three months before I went searching for other bb cream brands. The selling point of this bb cream is its price. It retails for only Php249 which is way cheaper, if not the cheapest, than other bb creams in the market. 

Review: My first ever kabuki brush from Nichido

My discovery of MMU (mineral make-up) last year triggered my search for a kabuki brush. It took me six months (yeah, it took that long!) before I finally got my first ever kabuki brush from Nichido.

I was hesitant to get it at first because I am not impressed with Nichido's make-up line. But when I tested brushing it against my palm, feeling the softness of its bristles, I instantly thought of giving Nichido a chance to impress me with their make-up tools.

Review: Tony Moly Lip Tint in Cherry Pink

Before another busy week starts, let me share with you my review of the Tony Moly Lip Tint in Cherry Pink.

This is the first time that I tried a lip tint (I told you I’m a late bloomer... hehehe). What I love most about this Tony Moly lip tint is that it is highly pigmented and stays on my lips even after I ate breakfast and lunch! I love it even more a few hours after application; it looks more natural.

Pre-REVIEW: Ellana Mineral Cosmetics and Milea Minerals

I've been dying to make a preliminary review of two local mineral make-up (MMU) lines, Ellana Mineral Cosmetics and Milea Minerals, for the longest time. But before I go on with the review, here’s a short explanation about MMU from Ellana for make-up newbies like me =)

“It has ingredients that have the special ability to heal your skin while you’re wearing it, improving your complexion and giving it a natural glow. Non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and even provides natural sun protection. It does not contain harmful ingredients such as preservatives, talc fillers or bismuth that normally cause skin irritations in traditional makeup.” - from Ellana’s website

Ellana Mineral Cosmetics

My Ellana MMU samples were stashed away in the drawer for a couple of months before I got to road test them. But even before I requested for samples, I was already using Ellana’s lip color in Passionate, mineral powder blushes in Bliss and Flirtation, and mineral foundie in Hazaelnut Latte. It’s my first ever MMU that’s why I’m eager to try other MMU brands and hopefully find my MMU holy grail (HG).

Review: Cyleina’s Black Pearl and Tomato Soap

I was bothered by the increasing number of pimple marks on my face last month so I researched for some tips on how to lighten pimple marks, one of which is Cyleina’s Black Pearl and Tomato Soap. I am scared that chemical peeling and do-it-yourself peeling products may cause more harm than good so I chose to lighten my pimple marks the organic way.

I am one of those people who can’t resist squeezing pimples, especially when they are swollen and look like they are ready to pop (I can hear my mom, sister and you shouting and telling me to stop squeezing…hehehe…). And because of my habitual scanning for pimples to pinch I got pimple marks on my face. 

Review: elf Studio Eyebrow Kit

I seldom apply make-up, and when I do, I leave off the extra task of putting on eyebrow defining products since I have thick eye brow hair. But curiosity took over me so I bought my first eyebrow product, the elf Studio Eyebrow Kit (e.l.f. stands for eyes, lips, face =).

The packaging looks really nice. I was surprised when I saw the price tag; it’s only P249.75, cheaper than I thought. It’s available in four shades/colors: light, medium, dark and ash.
