LUSH LUST IS A MUST SOAP FOR PINKAHOLICS !

image grabbed from google

Hello everyone! I'm going to make a small blog about my new found favorite soap, i think i found the perfect soap for me (but it's expensive).

Me and hubby went to Trinoma today, after having java chip at Seattle's Best we went to Lush to buy some additional soaps for our little collection, the moment we entered the store i immediately spotted the new pink soap, my main purpose is to buy the honey i washed the kids soap, the sales attendant was very accommodating, she recommended me the new Lust soap instead (yes the name is Lust, i dig that name !) because the scent is more feminine, the smell of the jasmine goodness makes me want to go home and take a bath right away !

I tried the Lust soap tonight and it's so divine, pink soap, pink bubbles with the strong scent of jasmine made me feel more girly and flirty (hubby loves the scent ! hmmm). So if you're a pinkaholic just like me definitely check this out !

KRAVE OIL ELIMINATOR

Krave's Oil Eliminator & Skin Hydrator


Hello pretties ! I'm so sorry for not updating my blog so often, i was really busy. Anyway today i'm going to make a review about Krave's Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator. Tested this baby for 3 weeks since i want to be sure with my review, my skin got crazy with all these break outs in my chin area.

The packaging is made out of a yellow plastic container, very handy to put in your kikay kit since it's lightweight and this will not cause any mess in your precious bags. Yes, packaging is flat and simple. They claim that this is hypoallergenic and acnegenic, but our skin reacts differently so no one can guarantee 100% that you'll not break out or anything.

with sifter and puff

. It has a puff included but i don't use it as an applicator, instead i use it to get some powder from the sifter and dab my flat top brush in the puff to prevent any mess, loose powders tend to get all over the place.
 

The powder is finely milled, it looks ghastly white at first glance but fear not since it will not make you look like a ghost. For reference, i have really oily and acne prone skin, i don't use different products for my face because i easily break out, i'm already traumatized with my experiences, i love Proactiv for clearing up my face !

freshly applied

I used this as a setting powder for my liquid foundation, i stipple it under the eye area to set my concealer, on the sides of my nose, chin and t-zone where i'm super oily. It did not gave me any rashes or zits so that's a plus for me ! It kept my oiliness at bay for 5 hours, which is good since some other powders can't withstand my oiliness even for an hour, boo !

after 5 hours, it looks glowy not oily !

This is less than 400php which is a fair price if you ask me, Oh yeah i forgot to mention that this is unscented, perfect for ladies who doesn't like heavily scented make-ups. It's stated that it's an skin hydrator, but people with dry skin should keep in mind that this will not literally hydrate your skin. So before you apply this on your bare face if that's what you want, make sure to prep and prime your skin, don't apply this without any moisturizer or else it will turn flaky and dry.

MAKE UP FOR EVER'S SELLING TESTERS ?

What's up my fellow make-up addicts ?  So i'm going to clear up this issue that Make Up For Ever's selling testers. Some of my friends were disappointed when they bought some cosmetics at MUFE because it was placed in a zip lock instead of it's original box, they even thought that they were sold with testers.

I forwarded this issue to someone, they are really sorry to hear about this, there are cases that they had problems with damaged boxes from shipment that's why they placed it in zip locks instead, rest assured that those items are not testers. They don't want to sell make-ups in ugly ruined boxes too.

Let's not boycott and accuse them for selling testers, they have their credibility and reputation to protect. I believe that they wouldn't do such a thing, there are just those unfortunate times that some of the boxes were damaged when they were shipped, no one likes their products to be damaged but it can't just be avoided so let's try to understand.

So if you had experienced this before and you want to complain or clear something please e-mail the exact date and purchased item at ace@brio-one.com

Let's not judge a book by it's cover everyone =) Have a blessed Sunday !

MY NEW RED BABY

my new red leather hydraulic chair

Hello everyone, it's been 2 months ago since i canvassed for a nice hydraulic chair to pair with my Suesh vanity station, but unfortunately they're expensive and the delivery service is costly too. But i believe things do happen for a reason, the reason was i'm going to find a much better one for a much cheaper price and i'm so lucky to found this incidentally.

So let me introduce my new red baby, it's an hydraulic chair with red leather seat cover, my hubby chose the red color, i asked him what color should we get ? He answered "i like red, it's glamorous oh the flowers the flowers." I'm starting to think he's a Fergie fanatic ha ha ha !

Okay back to the chair. the back of the chair is just enough for me to lean back and relax, perfect when i'm applying make-up. Since this is an hydraulic chair it's perfect when i need to do my clients make-up service at my place, i can adjust the height of the chair, plus they can relax their backs while i'm doing their long session of beautifying.

okayokay.com

I got this red baby of mine for a really cheap price, can you imagine that i only shelled out 2,000 php ? It's so ironic that when i already gave up to own a hydraulic chair that's the time i found this incidentally at Okayokay.com, by the way the original price is 7,000 or more, the delivery is also free thank you so much Xend, i really got what i paid for ! I'm so happy that my hubby stopped me from buying those unworthy hydraulic chairs, patience is indeed a virtue, all the wait is worth it.

So that's about it, care to share what your make-up station looks like ? I would love to see yours =)

MY STUNNING DIGI-PERMED HAIR

i love my sexy hair

Hi everyone ! It's already been 2 months since i got my hair digi-permed. I saw a rebond/digi-perm promo for 2,500 instead  of the original price which is 12,000 php at Bnd Hair Gallery Salon, since it was really cheap i availed it. I was originally planning to get my hair rebonded because of my stubborn layered flyaway hair, but they insisted me to have my hair digi-permed for a new look, and yes i followed them which i did not regret at all. The only downside is that they have a small place, they don't have enough seats for the waiting customers, my hubby stood for 3 hours while waiting for me. 

All i can say is the price that i paid for is worth it, i maintain my curls with Kerastase Oleo Curl, it's a great product for digi-permed hair, i will make a review about it soon ! I look different with wavy hair, i look much more younger and angelic ha ha ha !

So ladies would you like to have your hair permed or straight ? Come on share it !

BENEFIT CHA CHA TINT

This mango-tinted stain beautifully blushes lips and cheeks with a tropical sunset hue. Smooch-proof and smudge-proof, this sheer stain will have you looking deliciously sun-kissed for hours.

A review about Benefit Cha Cha Tint, it's a pretty coral tint that can be applied on the cheeks and lips. Lasts the whole day on a very sweaty and oily skin. Many ladies wanted to try out Benefit Cha Cha Tint but they were afraid because it tends to leave streak marks if you don't blend it out fast. So here's an easy method, please scroll down below.

instruction that comes with the cha cha tint

In the illustrated image above it shows that you must apply three strokes in your cheeks then blend it fast, i tried that method and gosh i looked like a cat with three whiskers no joke here. I tried every method possible but the only fool proof method that i found was to apply the tint directly to a foundation brush and tap it fast on the apples of the cheeks. 

how i apply cha cha tint

I used Benefit Highbeam together with the Cha Cha Tint to sheer it out, three strokes is too much for one cheek, i prefer just one stroke per cheek and if i want to add more color i will just repeat the method again until i  achieve the look that i like. A little goes a long way so you really get what you paid for.

URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE 2

NAKED 1 ON THE LEFT NAKED 2 ON THE RIGHT

A review about the much hyped Urban Decay Naked Palette 2, what makes this different from the previous naked palette is the new packaging, bigger mirror, has more lighter shades with 5 new ones, dual-ended brush, and it comes with a mini lip gloss instead of the mini original primer. I will state some of the reasons why i like this better than the original Naked Palette.

Naked Palette 1 on the left and Naked Palette 2 on the right

1: The packaging of Naked 2 is made out of plastic just like a classic pencil case, while the old one is made out of cardboard and felt, a dust magnet and the gold naked logo flakes off easily. This is more travel friendly in my opinion.

2: The mirror is now full sized.  Since the mirror is definitely bigger you don't have to squeeze yourself in the mirror when doing your eye make-up.

 3: It comes with a dense dual-ended brush, one side is the regular eye shadow brush while the other end is a blending brush

4: It has more lighter shades plus 5 new ones, perfect for those who doesn't like that too dark dramatic smokey eyes.

5: Obviously i just love everything about it. 

Naked Palette 2 swatches

This is something nice to go along with your make-up collection, but if you have the previous one and you don't want to overspend then you can already skip this one out, But if you have to choose between the two, go for Naked Palette 2.
