Review: Belo Baby Talc-Free Powder
The Belo Beauty brand is killing it with every product launch. But I pay no mind to Belo’s skin care products because the thing I’m eyeing on is the Belo Baby Talc-Free Powder. So why am I reviewing baby powder when I don’t even have a spawn? It’s because I’m one of those weird people… Continue reading

You guys! I just ordered my first Sigma set and I’m blown away by the quality. I seem to be in a makeup brush kick lately. I just bought the Smashbox brush set, ordered the Zoeva rose gold set and got a couple of MAC brushes prior to getting the Sigma brush kit. I am… Continue reading

Review: LUSH Eau Roma Water
Summer in the Philippines is the worst. The temperature can reach a scorching 39 degrees. It’s during the summer season that I stock up on facial toner water, you know, those face fresheners you take with you in a spritzer bottle?

Waki Week: In Pictures
Heee, K. First off, I’m posting these because I’m particularly fond of this look, I used my Smashbox Ultimate palette, got the gold (lids) and the navy (corner lids) shadows, and blended them together.

Eye of The Tiger
My sister played with my Coastal Scents palette and here’s the final look. Very dramatic, no? I especially love the catseye liner and wish I could duplicate this look by myself, hihihihihi! Also, try the MAC Studio Tech foundie. Lawrd, it blurs out pores like nothing else! That’s why my fezlak looked airbrushed. Continue reading

Feelin’ Fresh
I know, I’ve been posting quite a bit of cosmetics and skin care related articles lately but no, this space won’t be transforming itself into one of dem hipster beauty blogs, no. I’m just obsessed when it comes to skin care. But I’m pretty fussy when it comes to using beauty products though my own regimen is… Continue reading
