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

If you want to know more about the wonders of MMU, try Google-ing it!  =)

  

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).

Couriers who do pick-up and delivery within Metro Manila

Having a parcel delivered to a client by going to the “physical office” of local couriers can be time consuming for some. The travel time alone snatches a piece of an online seller’s precious time which may have been used for attending to other business needs like processing orders, answering email inquiries or making products (especially for those who do manual labor).

The growing demand for pick-up service was answered by local couriers such as:

Xend Express

I have been using Xend Express since I started my online business last year. What I like most is that they have a reliable online system where I can schedule for multiple pick-up bookings, create waybills, store client’s contact details and more.  They haven’t disappointed me yet, however, a friend of mine, who is also an online seller, got frustrated with their service when she scheduled for a pick-up and the rider arrived very late in the evening, twice.

Pick-up: FREE within Metro Manila (MM), Cainta, Taytay, Antipolo, San Mateo and Rodriguez, Rizal

Cut-off time of scheduling same day pick-up: 2PM (online booking),

Transit time: next day delivery for Metro Manila and Rizal, 1 to 2 days for provincial deliveries

Basic shipping rate: P50 for a parcel picked-up in MM for delivery within MM, not weighing more than 0.5kg
