Review: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

When I heard that Bifesta has pulled out of the country months ago, I was crestfallen! The brand’s micellar water is my holy grail makeup remover (review here). Sure, Bifesta micellar water is more expensive than other brands but it removes makeup so effortlessly. It’s similar to Bioderma micellar water as far as performance goes. You Continue reading

Review: Maybelline Hyper Impact Liner
A few blogs ago, I mentioned that I traveled to Batangas for my friend’s mother’s 60th birthday. Well, I forgot to pack my makeup kit! Thankfully, we dropped by the local mall before heading home.

Review: K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyebrow Liner

I’ve mentioned eons ago how awesome K-Palette 1 day tattoo real lasting eyebrow liner is but alas, I haven’t reviewed it yet! If you know me, then you know I’m cray over Etude House’s dirt cheap Drawing eyebrow pencil. It’s what I use on the daily but only because I’m lazy. Recently though, I started Continue reading

Review: Dear Darling Lip Tint by Etude House

Etude House is known for its cutesy makeup and skin care products. I must say, I was a huge fan of Etude House back when it came here in the PH.

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
