Beauty Haul: YouTube Made Me Buy It!

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.

• High-performing, breakthough formula

Wet n' Wild Photo Focus Pressed Powder

Description:

Your smartphone just met its makeup match. Pack this genius pressed powder in your bag for endlessly amazing photos every time. Light-diffusing pigments give your skin a veil of ailky natural looking perfection in photos and IRL. Wear it alone, on bare skin or over Photo Focus foundation for a flawless finish.

• Sets makeup with an unbelievably soft, satin finish
• Reduces shine throughout the day
• Each shade covers a range of skin tones

From www.wetnwildbeauty.com

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.

Product Review: Nyx's Lip Lingerie in Exotic

Hello again, makeup junkies! Since I was MIA for more than six months, I am making up for it by bombarding you with posts before 2017 ends. Lol!

Today, I will be doing a review of Nyx's Lip Lingerie liquid lipstick. Just a disclaimer, this is not a new lip product, in fact, this came sometime late last year when everyone was all about nude/brown lips.

They released new shades since then and are now offering 24 shades (not all 24 are available in the Philippines). But since it looks like the nude lip trend is staying for a while, I thought, I might as well do this review late than never.

Anyway, let's go back to the review. There is indeed a nude shade for everyone.

NUDES FOR ALL

Slip into something seductive with Lip Lingerie, our new weightless liquid lipstick with a plush matte finish. Each stunning shade is also enriched with vitamin E to help lips look and feel ultra-soft.

Description:
Slip into something seductive with Lip Lingerie, our luxurious liquid lipstick with a plush, Matte finish. Available in the color-kissed hues you know and love—from cinnamon pink and chocolate brown, to warm mahogany red and classic nude beige—plus, 12 brand-new nudes! Each sultry shade will coat the curves of your lips with irresistibly creamy color.

Ingredients:
Isododecane, Mineral Oil/Paraffinum Liquidum/Huile Minérale, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Polycyclopentadiene, Tocopheryl Acetate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Alumina, Barium Sulfate (CI 77120), Phenoxyethanol. MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR (+/-): Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Red 6 (CI 15850), Red 7 (CI 15850), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090). From www.nyxcosmetics.com

Image of the first 12 shades released from www.beautymnl.com

These liquid lipsticks are very reminiscent of their soft matte lip creams. It has the same soft, creamy/moussey formula that does not dry the lips out. The only major difference is the smell. Their lip creams smell amazing, like vanilla, while these lip lingeries smell slightly of paint, although it goes away pretty quickly as soon as you apply it. It also dries down to a true matte, dries faster and lasts longer than the lip creams. It comes in a long clear sturdy plastic tube with a black cap and the standard doe foot applicator albeit flatter. By now, you probably have heard of Nyx coming out with yet another liquid lipstick line called Liquid Suedes, but I have yet to try them. For this review, we're going to talk about the shade, Exotic.

This shade is a muted red (on Nyx's website they refer to it as a mahogany red) and is not something I would really consider as a nude shade, but, hey it's a lovely color, so who am I to complain. In fact, one can wear it everyday or at work without it being too loud, perfect for those who can't or don't want to wear bright reds at work but still want to look polished.

Aside from the items already mentioned above, I feel these lip lingeries tend to settle on the lines  or dry patches on my lips, accentuating them more. But, the plus side is, it stays put for about 5 hours (unless you eat something greasy or oily) and it fades evenly.

Priced at Php 460-490, this may be slightly more expensive than your average drugstore lipstick, however, I'd still say it is a good buy as eventhough it costs more, you don't have to reapply as much as you would a regular lipstick.

My final verdict, a must buy and something I would repurchase! In fact, I ordered two other shades, Embellishment and Ruffle Trim and I am set to get a new tube of Exotic as I am almost out. Looks like I'll be rocking this shade until next year!

Happy New Year and may your 2018 be as merry and bright as your ruby red lipsticks and sparkling glittery eyeshadows!

Unboxing: Althea Korea's Holiday Edition Gold Sparkling Box #38 (2017)

Hello, makeup junkies, yes I am back... Just in time before the new year starts. We are ending 2017 with a bang!

And today, we are unboxing, you guessed it, one of Althea Korea's holiday boxes. I have been dying to try (ordering from) Althea Korea's (website) for the longest time but haven't really found justification for the delivery/shipping fee, until I saw their holiday boxes.

This year, they went all out and came out with 3 boxes: red, black, and gold. And of course, I had to go with the gold one. :)

ALTHEA

No. 1 digital destination for all things K-beauty - shopping, lifestyle, and trends

The box contains a mix of skincare and makeup products that retails for a total of Php 5460. But the box was only Php 1330!

By subscribing to this box, not only was I able to save Php 4130, I also got to try different Korean brands.

The other 2 boxes have different items included, but this gold one got my attention because of the eye patch, and c'mon, if you're going sparkly, you gotta go big! So I went with the gold one. 😜

The box contains 6 items plus a trial pack/sample kit from Missha.

1. Chica-Y-Chico
One Shot Eyeshadow Palette
Price: Php 1490

They included 2 eyeshadow palettes (day and night) in this box, perfect for those who want to start a makeup stash and for those who are eyeshadow hoarders. Each eyeshadow palette costs Php 1490 but is currently on sale for Php590.

2. Leaguertox
Gold Foil Seethrough Illumination Mask
Price: Php 160

This mask according to the website is good for people with dry and dull skin and those who are concerned with wrinkles.

It involves 2 steps:

3. Petitfee
Gold & EGF Eye Spot Patch
Price: Php 1080

Althea Says: Can’t get the recommended amount of 8 hours of sleep a night? That’s alright, with Petitfee’s Gold & EGF Eye Spot Patch, you can fake it till you look it! Made with black pearl collagen and gold powder, this luxurious eye mask is full of amino acids to help regeneration and purification to make the skin more plump and radiant, as well as provide anti-oxidizing and anti-aging effects to these delicate areas.

High-color Formula

6. Missha
Gold Line Skincare Sample Kit

And there you have it! I haven't really gotten around using and testing any of the products as I just received the box a couple of weeks ago. By the way, it took about two weeks for the box to arrive I've almost forgotten it. What I do like about it is I didn't have to pay extra for customs even though it came from Korea, since Althea has partnered with a local courier to ship the boxes. Oh and I also liked that it came in a Christmas themed box! (What can I say, I'm a sucker for cute packaging) 😊. As of this writing, the gold box is sold out, but great news, the black and red boxes are still available! So if you want to check them out just visit their website www.althea.kr

Product Review: BH Cosmetics x Carli Bybel's Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette

Are you looking for a relatively cheap palette that would give you great everyday looks?

Your prayers have been answered, makeup junkies. Presenting, the palette I've been obssessed with for the last couple of months: Carli Bybel's palette in collaboration with BH Cosmetics!

This baby includes 10 eyeshadows (5 mattes plus 5 shimmers/satin) and 4 highlighters!

If you like watching YouTube videos of makeup gurus, you've probably come across Carli Bybel. She is one of the prettiest and nicest makeup enthusiasts in the YouTube community and I'm happy that she was given the opportunity to collaborate with a good brand like BH Cosmetics. When she created this palette, she said she wanted it to be affordable, but still of good quality. 

And boy, did she make sure to follow through with that vision...

I love how the glossy cardboard (with a magnetic closure) packaging is sleek, sturdy and easy to clean. Plus points for the mirror! I also love the details she included, from the adorable penguin on the side, and the cute flowers embossed on the highlighters, to the quote "Aspire to Inspire".

All the shadows are really easy to work with, pigmented and creamy. Even the matte ones. But, since they are soft and creamy they tend to kick up a lot of powder or have fall outs but that can be easily resolved by just tapping off the excess. I mean, for Php 1,100, this palette delivers more than I could ever dream of.

The first row has 4 matte shades that are mostly shades of pink or lilac.

I love the first row! And even though some of the shades are very similar on the eyes, I still use them almost every single day.

The second row has a lot of golden/copper colors and are mostly shimmers.

Since I already have several palettes with golds, coppers,  bronzes, and browns, I rarely use this row, but when I do, the looks I create always turn out really well.

The last row which is for the highlighters is my favorite! I mix the first two shades, go crazy, and put them everywhere! While the third and last one I use as a bronzer or eyeshadows.

Here's a look I created using the palette. I am not angry, the sun was just bright. Lol!

The transition shade I used on my crease is not part of the palette. I used my Bahama Mama bronzer from theBalm.

The verdict, this is an awesome palette! The only cons I see are, it's limited edition, there are shades that look really similar, the matte shades have fall out/kick up, and the lack of a brown matte transition shade, otherwise this is the perfect palette for me.

Xoxo,

Product Review: Zoeva's Naturally Yours Palette

If you are a makeup junkie like me, you probably have heard of the German brand, Zoeva. They are known for making high-quality brushes, and most recently, thanks to Kathleenlights, their Cocoa Blend Eyeshadow Palette. But since I already have a palette with shades similar to Cocoa Blend, I opted to go with something I thought I would be able use everyday, so I got every neutral lovers' dream palette, Naturally Yours. It has 10 shades, 5 of which are matte while the rest have satin/shimmer finishes.

This palette retails for about Php 1,060 on Sephora PH's website, which is a lot cheaper compared to brands like Tarte, Urban Decay or Too Faced.

It comes in a slim, sturdy, and light-weight cardboard packaging with a magnetic closure. Fantastic for travels! Sadly, it does not have a mirror.

Finish: Matte // Satin // Metallic // Duo Chrome

From www.zoevacosmetics.com
For the list of the ingredients, scroll to the bottom of the page.

Now, let's go through the shades.

Top Row:

Pure - a matte cream with a touch of pink. Great as a base or highlight for the browbone. 

Soft & Sexy - a matte warm milk chocolate/medium brown. I use this mainly as a transition shade.

Smooth Harmony - a shimmery duo chrome mauve/pink that shifts to a champagne gold in certain lights. 

Forever Yours - another duo chrome brown that's a bit darker than Soft & Sexy with blue/silver and green sheen. 

Slow Dance - a matte dark brown. My least favorite shade in the palette as it's not as pigmented as the others. Applies patchy and chalky, which is a bummer as it could have worked wonders in the outer V to give smoky looks more depth. 

Bottom Row:

First Love - another matte ivory cream that's good as a base or highlight in the inner corners of the eyes or browbone.

Casual Elegance - just like the name entails, a shimmery muted and elegant yellow gold. I use this all over the lids or just the center for shine and dimension.

Sweet Sound - one of my favorite shades in the palette. A rich shimmery copper which I use on the outer half of my lids. It can also work great as an all over the lid shade.

Lovely Monday - a dark brown with shimmer. A satin version of Slow Dance. It is also a little powdery but still better than Slow Dance.

Timeless Chic - a matte black. I use this instead (in place of a matte brown) on the outer Vs to deepen and darken the looks I create.

For the price, I'd say this is an okay palette. But, if you're just starting your makeup collection, this would be awesome and perfect for you! You can just get this one palette, and you're good to go. It's great for everyday/office wear and at the same time, still give you that party/glam look if necessary.

All their eyeshadows, with the exception of Slow Dance are highly-pigmented and are easy to blend. They last a long time on the lids and do not crease or fade even without a primer.

One of the very few cons I have to say about this palette is it's a bit powdery. Especially with the matte shades, which has a lot of kick back. Although one can just tap or knock the excess off one's brush to avoid fall-out. Another con would be, granted it is a neutral palette and they have limited colors to put in, some of the shades I feel are just too similar, which becomes more apparent when placed on the lid. And since (this is not the palette's fault by the way) I already have several palettes with a lot of browns, I feel the colors are repetitive and I almost always end up reaching for another palette (for a different color) to finish the looks I create.

So if you're lacking a neutral palette from your collection or you're just starting it, I say, go buy this, if not, then you don't have to rush online to purchase it. Although you may want to look at Zoeva's other palettes.

Until next time.

Unboxing: BDJ's December 2016 Elite Box

Christmas is just around the corner, but, when I received BDJ's December Elite box, it felt like Christmas has already arrived! I was surprised at how heavy and full to the brim it was when I opened it!

This month, they (once again) partnered with Céleteque.

From http://www.celetequedermo.com

At first, I hesitated, and had second thoughts about subscribing, since I already received a Céleteque exclusive box from them last year and was thinking I might receive the same products or repeat items. But, after seeing their sneak peeks and their claims about getting 6x the value of the money you spend (Php 1480/box), I caved in. If you'd like see that unboxing you can check it here.

It was super exciting for me as I received 15 items that are mostly full-sized (with the exception of the mist and the cleansing oil). It looks like Céleteque launched new makeup products too as the only repeat I got was the mist. I love how this mist is travel-sized, it's easier to pop in my bag before heading out.

Let's take a look at what's inside the box.

Group pic! Lol!

I'm glad Céleteque came out with more makeup products to add to their Dermocosmetics line. On top of that, I feel this time, their color selection is more on point. They covered a lot, from nudes/browns, to pinks/purples and reds even greys and blacks. They kept the same packaging, which is no longer as horrible as I first thought it was, probably because I already got used to it. My only gripe now is because I had to open around 15 boxes, it was a chore and they didn't make it any easier. The boxes were really a challenge to open! Imagine me struggling to open them at 3 in the morning, trying to keep it down so as not to disturb my sleeping husband and son, and fighting the urge to just rip the boxes. Also, if I were to buy these, they are on the pricier side (in  Kathleenlights' voice: "Dats expensive..."), it's a good thing, BDJ thought of putting these in their boxes.

To sum it up, BDJ did an exceptionally good job partnering with a great brand and giving their subscribers the best bang for their buck this Christmas season.

See you on my next post! Happy Holidays!
