Revew: Midio Cleansing and Exfoliating Brush
I didn’t shop for skin care products or makeup while in Hong Kong because one lesson I learned from reviewing beauty products is that my skin can be quite unforgiving when I mix my beauty routine up. Even for a bit. In many ways, my skin is similar to my own behavior, we don’t stray Continue reading

Review: K-Palette 24 Hr Real Lasting Eyeliner
K-Palette is a Japanese beauty brand that specializes in eye products, at least here in the PH. The brand’s eyeliner and eyebrow tattoo are pretty popular among the Japanese and these are the reason why there’s such a clamor for K-Palette everything here in the tropics too. I’m a huge fan of the eyebrow tattoo, Continue reading

Review: MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation
I’m on my third Studio Fix foundation powder and I never reviewed this makeup staple! Que horror! When I started getting into makeup, one of the first items that my sister recommended to me was the Studio Fix powder foundation. Actually, she recommended the whole Studio Fix range because she’s convinced that the products are Continue reading

Review: Make Up Forever Ultra HD Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation

One of the major beauty items that I really spend a lot of money on is the base. The base may include concealers, color correctors, primer, and of course, foundation. Because the climate here in the tropics is always humid, ultra light foundies tend to melt within an hour or two after application and while Continue reading

Review: Majolica Majorca Lash King
If there’s one thing I’m most insecure about, it’s my tiny Asian eyes. I wanted to have green eyes with noticeable crease plus lush lashes. Obviously, I didn’t get what I wanted and there lies the problem, hahaha! Being monolidded and having sparse, thin, and stick straight lashes, I never really thought my lashes will ever Continue reading

Review: Maybelline ColorSensational Mattes in Nude Nuance & Clay Crush
I hate browns with a passion, I really do. But for fear of missing out, I picked a couple of brown lipsticks from Maybelline’s newest line of nude lippies! Even as a teen, I stayed away from brown lipsticks. This was way back in the late 90s when a brown lip was everything. The closest Continue reading

Review: Origins Make a Difference Plus + Rejuvenating Treatment
Aging suck so in an attempt to delay the inevitable, I use Origin’s Make a Difference Plus+ rejuvenating treatment! Before this, I was a fan of Clinique’s classic Dramatically Different+ face cream, the one with the new gel formula. I loved that moisturizer, to be honest (and at some point, I will start re-using it again) Continue reading
