Review: Smashbox Studio Pro Brush Set
You remember how I went on and on about Smashbox’s offers at the recently concluded Nordstrom Anniversary sale right? Well, finally, all the stuff I ordered has arrived. They were pretty late because of Manila’s growing port problems but who cares, I got my stuff! One thing that I noticed while waiting for my Nordstrom… Continue reading

Breaking News: Found a Local Zoeva Retailer
I thought I had no chance of getting these bad boys because Zoeva isn’t available in the US and this particular set is perpetually sold out at Luxola, but I was wrong. After much stalking and hunting, I totally found a retailer who sells these (pre-order) lovelies. The catch? I have to wait five to… Continue reading

Urban Decay Vice 3
I heard the new Urban Decay Vice 3 was inspired by Miami Vice 🙂 I’m not feeling the color selection though. I still have the Vice 2 and I barely made a dent on any of the shades. Seriously, these things are so freakin’ pigmented. I think the Vice palettes are one of those super… Continue reading

Review: theBalm Mary Lou-Manizer
I really didn’t think much about highlighter because I want my face 90s matte. I dunno, I like how models from magazines looked with their dewy skin but in real life, I don’t want to look all slick and glowy. I felt that shiny looking skin doesn’t suit me at all. My sister introduced me to… Continue reading

Smashbox Pro Brush Set At The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2014

Behold, ten amazing brushes in one set: And because… Continue reading

Review: Missha BB Boomer
I got the Missha BB Boomer along with the Perfect Cover BB cream I purchased a few weeks ago. The BB boomer cream is such a weird product, to be quite honest. You’re supposed to spread this across the face before the BB cream and it’s said to boost the performance and wear of the… Continue reading

The Brow Connection: Doing The Ombre
My brows used to bad and it never occurred to me to fix it. Now I’m a total eyebrow fiend and I do my brows everyday. I feel a wee bit nekkid if I don’t! I love strong, bold brows any day but it’s not as versatile. And my technique has been real crappy until… Continue reading

Review: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream
It’s weird that I’ve been using the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream for three months now and I’ve yet to write a review about it. I decided to use BB cream after I’ve seen significant improvement on my skin a couple of months ago. I wanted to wear something light and nourishing, one that offers… Continue reading

Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade
The hunt for the perfect brow “primper” led me to Anastasia BH Dip Brow Pomade. I got one in Ebony, the darkest shade among the bunch. I chose Ebony because I was trying not to make the same mistake I did when I got the MUFE aqua brow, which was get talked into getting the… Continue reading

Review: Smashbox Full Exposure Palette
Lawrd, I never had to work this hard for shimmers to show up on my peepers until the Smashbox Full Exposure palette came along. Fair warning, this palette is not for newbies (like myself). I did read reviews about how problematic the shimmers were but paid no attention because one look at the row of… Continue reading
