IT'S MY SUN CREAM 45SPF (First Impression + Review)

Sunblock is one of the most important skin regimen every morning. For me, even if you are indoors you should never forget to wear something with SPF.

My impression/review: It is creamy, non-sticky and fine to put on my sensitive face. Unlike some sunblock that I used, whenever I perspire it sort of melts and sticky like and some shows a yellowish color whenever I wipe it out.

If you are looking for a good sunblock that is non-sticky, this one's a good grab. I also used this when I went for a swim and it does not come off that easily. Thumbs up for this.

Rate: 5/5

Do you also believe in using sunblock indoors even though you are not going out?

Banila Co. PRIME Primer - Classic (First Impression + Review)

Banila Co. PRIME Primer - Classic

I wanted to try out this product since, I read that it is a good primer even for sensitive skin.

I got the classic one because, I wanna try if it will be okey for any skin types. Surely, I really wanted to try out the Matte one. Oh, well, good thing it turns out good.

I really have an oily skin, even though I used any products that says matte or whatsoever.

30ML

Formula wise, it is smooth on the face and good as makeup base. I noticed that it lessen the oiliness of my face, for me that is a good factor.

For the packaging, I liked the lock of the bottle and also a pump type. It is easy to use the pump type ones and for me it helps on preventing contamination (just my point of view).

Overall, this primer is a 4/5 star for me.

Will surely try the matte one after this.

Do you also use a primer? What primer is your must have?

Benefit Ready Set Brow - Dupe

BENEFIT READY SET BROW VS. DAISO EYEBROW COAT

Okey, I just said it is a dupe because it does the same job and with more affordable price.

It just says eye brow coat, and I bought it at Daiso (Market!Market) for only Php88.00

The Benefit Ready Set Brow is 1,400.00 - full size.

Here is the picture of the eyebrow coat and the Benefit Ready Set Brow

Both products helps in keeping the eyebrow makeup on spot. It is budge-proof even you perspire.

This is way more affordable but, if you are into high-end products you may do so or choose your own brand but, this is just a affordable one for those who are on a budget.

The only difference is the applicator but, on the formula wise they just do the same. The Benefit has a brush like (mascara wands) and the Daiso one looks like a nail polish (^_^).

The Benefit really helps you in taming the brows because of its dual-custom sided wand that combs the unruly brow. But, for the Daiso one you can also do that but, you just need to use a separate brush to do so.

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip (Teeny Tiny, Trap, Bad Habit) - Swatch + Review + First Impression

So, I have a courage to order thru an online seller a Coloupop Lipstick. I bought this to MNL Beauty Boutique (IG: mnlbeautyboutique) for the price of Php480/each I read review that she is a legit seller and her products are 100% US Authentic. You can go check her IG and contact her from there, she is nice to transact with. I got my lippies within 2 days from payment.

Here is the swatch/es

This are just my thoughts on this products and I am not a beauty expert or sooooooo....

Shade: Teeny Tiny

- The shade is a brownish color, for me it looks good for people with a pale/fair skin tone. It looks like a chocolate color on my view.

- The formula is good, it dries instantly as in instantly. So you better be quick in applying.

- It does not transfer

- Long wearing (Just don't eat oily food which is their enemy)

Shade: Trap

- The shade is like a muted pink / pale plum combination. On my lips it looks a super pale pinking / plum type of color.

- The formula is also good, it dries up instantly.

 - It does not transfer

- Long wearing (Again, no to oily food)

Shade: Bad Habit

- The shade is a red with like a pink tone in it.

- The formula on this one is a bit so-so for me. It transfers and I am a type of person who always pucker up my lips (a habit maybe, ooooh and the name for this shade is a Bad Habit) so, I am worried that in doing that, of my so called habit of mine, my lips will transfer on the outer area. (Imagine if you just wipe off your lipstick, the picture that you look like JOKER from Batman) that's what I was imagining all day while I am wearing this shade.

Overall:

I like the Colourpop formula that is does stay all day (just stay away from oily food). For retouch, you don't need any but, if you need one you may and it does not crack or feel dry on the lips. I just tried up to 2x because, I can't ate some oily food that time (^.^)

It does not crack, and it does not feel dry on my lips.

Don't forget to always prep your lips if you are using a liquid lipstick.

Nella Fantasia - Aura Highlighter (Swatch + Review + First Impression)

I usually don't use highlighter but, on I wanna try out this out. I bought this at Althea PH Online Shopping. This is in shade White Pearl and the price is Php300.00

Here is the Item & Swatch

I already tried it on my face and I like the glow. But, the only problem I have is I do not know how to use the puff thingy, I think that is suppose to be used as an applicator but, no products comes out from there. So I will just open the lid and get a brush but, sometimes I end up spilling some powder all over and end up having glitters on my clothes.

And also I am having a hard time controlling the amount of the powder. If I will tap the brush it will just all fall and if I don't I end up having a uneven highlight or massive glow on my cheeks.

I will probably will use a highlighter but not this kind, will use the palette ones like the Sleek Solstice. Which I am wanting to have for quiet sometime now.

Update: Okey the cushion now works, it just doesn't work before, because the powder are clump up together preventing it to come through the cushion. Still to much shine on the face, and a lot of fall outs.

Will not purchase this again.

My rating will be: 1/5

OFRA x Manny MUA - Aries (First Impression + Swatch & Review)

I finally got my hands on one of the OFRA x Manny MUA liquid lipsticks. I was planning on buying the shade  Charmed but it was out of stock. But, still I like this shade.

Just my thoughts regarding this product:

PACKAGING:
Simple but, kinda classy. The handle of the brush is a black metallic look.

APPLICATOR:
The one that is commonly used on the liquid lipsticks. The sponge like slant one.

SMELL:
For me the smell reminds me of a sweet candy. It reminds me of the Alpenliebe Caramel & Cream Candy (hope someone besides me know this candy).

FORMULA:
It drys immediately when applied, it is pigmented one swipe will do. Some light colored lipsticks needs to re-apply to get the color / some parts of the lips are not fully covered causing it to look uneven. It does not feel sticky on the lips, does not dry my lips but, not kiss proof (just a reminder).

SHADE:
Perfect for a simple, nude color with a hint of coral.

LONG LASTING?
Yes, it is  long lasting as long as you do not eat a burger or any oily food. But, I like the part that it leaves a bit of stain.

RE-APPLICATION:
When re-applying the lipstick, it does not get sticky and does not dry my lips. Some I find it sticky even if I blot it with tissue or something. And the worst it drys up my lips and skin starts to show (who would like to see a lips with a look of ripping skin on it)

OFRA x Manny MUA - Aries

I bought this at Glamourbox for Pp850.00

Swatch on my lips & back of the hand (my skin is in a shade of fair/light)

Did I mention I am a fan of Manny MUA, just letting you know (hehehe, wink).

My rate overall: 4.5/5

Revlon Colorbust & POP Crayon (Swatch & Review)

Today I received a package and I got a freebie which is the POP - Pouty Pop Crayon in shade Coral Crush. (Package Blog)

I was excited to try on this POP crayon because I haven't tried any of their brands yet. And I notice that it's kinda same of the shade of the Revlon Colorburst 120. In the swatch that I will show you will see the difference that the POP crayon is on the orange side which is (yeah! Coral) stated in the shade that it is Coral Crush. But, on the lips you cannot tell the big difference in a glance.

The Lip Products

The Swatche/s (at the back of my hand)

The Swatche/s (on my lips)

NOTE: I did not rub my lips to prevent them from mixing up the colors.

If you are under the light, you will see that the Revlon is more intense which is suppose to be because, it is in the dark pinkish shade compare to POP which is on the coral shade.

Revlon has a peppermint feeling on the lips, it feels like you just ate a menthol.

Overall for me, they are pretty much the same formula. It is not long wearing so better do you lipstick hacks on how to prolong those lipsticks. And did I say that they are glossy.

I will surely be trying out some of the POP cosmetics, soon.

As for Revlon, I just tried their colorburst and the matte lipstick.

Maybelline - Color Sensational Creamy Matte (First Impression + Swatch & Review)

Maybelline Color Sensational Matte in shades Touch of Spice and Divine Wine. These two shades are the best sellers here in the Philippines. These two shades are in trend on social media, so I decided to try them out.

Price: Php299.00

Swatches

Touch of Spice

This shade is good for a go to everyday makeup look. It is a nude pinkish color, for my skin color it looks like it is a natural rosy healthy looking lips. It is really creamy and it is light weight on the lips. This is not a long wearing lipstick.

Divine Wine

This shade would be a good match if you are for achieving for a vampy look. I say this will go for a night party party! But, watch out (if you will be drinking/eating) because this one is dark and this is not a long wearing lipstick so, you need to check your lips from time to time because, it fades in the inner part and it does not look good.

If you have tricks on how to maintain your lipstick and really stick it on your lips all day then that will be NICE.

The scent of the lipstick smells like a powdery scent. It is not over powering if you are not a fan of scented lipsticks. But, if you accidentally lick your lips with the lipstick on, you will definitely taste the powdery scent like thingy.

VMV - Velvet Matte Lipstick x SaladBox (First Impression + Swatch & Review)

I got this VMV Hypoallergenics Velvet Matte Lipstick from my SaladBox Subscription for their month of April 2016.

SaladBox Subscription is a BOMB! For the 3 months subscription you only pay Php500.00 but the contents worth are somewhere Php2,500.00++
Link of their website: SaladBox

Just my thought on the VMV Velvet Matte Lipstick (I'm no expert on this, so don't give so much attention if you do not LIKE this).

I got the shade called Dame

Here the swatch on me: (I have a fair complexion)

My thoughts:

1. I find it powdery texture, I don't know why but, I tried different matte lipsticks like maybelline but it does not have a powdery texture.

2. I like the color, it is like a good shade for a go to. A nude shade with a bit of orange / pinkish color (not good in describing colors).

3. It is not long wearing.

4. I like the packaging of the lipstick and it has an expiration date on it, which is a good thing if you keep the box you will not forget it's expiry (sadly I throw mine).

5. It make my lips flaky (as seen in the picture) I did have a lip balm before that and it still flakes on my lips.

6. The price according to their site is somewhere Php1,000.00+

Will I buy it after testing? No,maybe. I can't say yet. And I do restrain myself from buying lipsticks that are Php600+ / per piece.

My rate will be: 2/5 stars
