Happy Monday, makeup junkies! It seems my love for makeup and all things pretty is insatiable. After my long hiatus and coming home to a pile of makeup packages, and getting backups for backups, I promised myself I will no longer be buying any (more) makeup unless I've ran out of them or they need to be replaced. But I guess, after destashing several palettes and with parties to attend coming up, I kinda gave in. Mind you, I exercised control (with great difficulty) and only got things I feel I would really be able to use. So I only purchased 4 items...
Okay, I lied, there's more than 4, but these are the ones I want to talk about today. Lol!
I purchased these online from an IG seller usmadefashion (she now has her own website http://usmfashion.com/).
For quite some time, I have been lusting after Becca's Backlight Priming Filter, and YouTubers have been raving about it for years, but I can't, even for the love of makeup, get myself to buy a 2k Php worth primer, so after seeing it on sale for the holidays, I quickly grabbed the opportunity to get one.
A makeup primer to help blur imperfections and impart a radiant glow.
More than just a primer, it's the secret behind the iconic BECCA glow. Infused with three unique Filtering Luminescent Pearls, each one adds a different drop of diffused light. Blended together, they result in a first of its kind, lightweight, whipped fluid that creates a smooth canvas and acts as an instant filter. Blurs imperfections and give skin a healthy, luminescent glow.

Moving on to recently released products, last year Wet n' Wild took YouTube land by storm when they released these Photo Focus foundation and pressed/setting powder. In fact, up to now, they've been reformulating and releasing new products that are making such a buzz, it's exciting to see what else they have in store for us. And I hope they release it in the Philippines as well soon. By the way, I got these on sale too, they're normally priced at 500Php each but I was able to nab both of them for just 600php (300Php each).
Wet n' Wild Photo Focus Liquid Foundation
Description:
Your skin, only better. Our new high performing, skin-perfecting foundation underwent major road testing under seven different photo lighting conditions to deliver flawless camera-ready makeup every time. Specially made with a matte, light-diffusing complex to give your skin #nofilter perfection.
Wet n' Wild Photo Focus Pressed Powder
Description:

And finally, the deal breaker and the primary reason why I temporarily suspended my no-buy status, Colourpop's Yes, Please! Pressed Powder Eyeshadow Palette (1200Php). I have seen pictures and reviews of this palette left and right and finally caved in.
The original fixed 12 pan palette is all about that golden hour glow - the hottest shades inspired by our fave time of the day.
I'll probably be doing a review of this palette soon. I just started using it and would need a few more days to come to a final verdict.
I'm excited to try all of these and see how good these products are myself. I'm sure just like the YouTubers who raved about them, I'll soon be loving them as well.
Xoxo,
