https://beautymnl.com/products/7859-stannic-matte-lipstick



Usual Family day at Trinoma when I remember "FINAL DAY NG SALE NI DETAIL MAKEOVER TODAY!"

I went to landmark at their beauty corner and look kung nasaan yung stall ng details. 
Walang tao sa kiosk maliban sa sales lady, I asked ano ano pa yung mga nakasale na hindi pa out of stock (most of the time when its sale pag last day na ubos na yung stocks). Sabi ni Ate halos lahat pa is available so ang kinuha ko lang is yung for brows and the matte metallic lipsticks.





It's 250+ something ang price i forgot and already removed the gumtag and its buy 1 take 1 and ok lang na hindi magkaparehas yung shade na kukunin.




My first option is the DM1 polaris and SML4 pleades nakuha ko as a free yung DM2 Rigel and SML3 Canopus. It contains 6g of product with a rose gold colored box and yung packaging nya is you can see the color because its transparent glass like plastic yung packaging and a black cover na may naka print na product name. Shades of the items are below sa may bottom part and again same color like nung shades nya




NOTE : Before I start my Pros and Cons my lips are dry kaya hindi ako ka fond sa matte lipsticks. Whenever im using matte lippies nag ccrack ang lips ko and nagsusugat hindi ko sya tnry para siraan yung items may mga mattes lang talaga na wearable para sa super dry lips ko meron din hindi

PROS

Polaris and Rigel looks nice it can wear in everyday makeup look its smudge and transfer proof it has this fruity scent to it but my husband told me its smells like condom haha the strawberry one.
The Canopus and Pleades are perfect for night party ,I just don't feel the vibe wearing dark shades when I'm at work or just going out in the morning. Its smooth and soft when application at one glide no bald spot no tackiness doesn't feel heavy like i don't wear any lipstick at all. Eat or drink yes it doesn't wore of  and yes its matte as in MATTE!

CONS

 I think Polaris and Rigel have the same formula. Why? because the feeling when application and when its already dry unlike Canopus and Pleades which need 2nd coat of the product kasi nag sskip sya may bald spots and whenever im trying to layer them dahil nga may spot na hindi pantay ang kulay para lang sumasama sya again sa wand which is hindi ko siya naging problema sa DM formula I think dahil SML's are darker shade may mga natry narin naman akong lippies na pag dark shade ganun ang ngyayari. Next is like i said it doesn't smudge and transfer kumain or uminom ka man but the problem is yung insides part pag nadidilaan ko or syempre nadadampian ng saliva is nag ccrack.





What i do now dahil sayang naman kung hindi ko gagamitin is i put balm first then apply this after that is pinapatungan ko ng lip tints para hindi sya mag crack thats the only way para masuot ko sya ng hindi masagwa.




By the Way mahirap sya alisin with just baby or wet wipes need talaga ng make up remover . The picture above i just wiped it with a wet wipes yung DM1 lang yung totally nawala.

Etude House 3-Step Clear Nose Kit

Etude House 3-Step Clear Nose Kit


I bought this one a week ago and today I am  going to test the ETUDE HOUSE 3-STEP CLEAR NOSE KIT.
I did a review of the Holika Holika Pig nose on my YouTube channel but it didn't go well.
step 1 works fine but the step 2 didn't even suck most of the gunk on my nose~

So while doing this blog I'm currently filming it so lets start sharing my thoughts.



Familiar with the Holika Holika Pig Nose Blackhead Remover? They are just the same 

From Step 1 of Opening The Pores
Step 2 which is not that sticky but effective to clean the gunk on your pores and blackheads
and Step 3 thats like a face mask that has this green tea smell serum that can close your pores
STEP 1- OPENING PORES 

I tried the Holika first and after 4 days i tried this one the sheet of the step 1 is much more thinner but the scent is the smell like a leaf or root or something. (Im not good at this haha). Leave it for 15-20 mins then get a Q-TIP , wipe excess black and whitehead plus the serum that left on your nose.

AFTER APPLICATION 

My pores enlarge and some of my black heads are easily removed by the q-tip but looking closely some are still deep inside.



STEP 2- CLEAN BLACKHEADS 
The Holika one is pink this is white and the patch is not that hard to remove not that painful still tolerable like a tape in your skin. Wet your nose then apply the patch leave for 10-15 minutes remove it from edges and see what lies beneath it haha. BTW i applied it upside down in this picture.

AFTER APPLICATION
After the water dries the patch becomes hard and I can feel the patch sucking my nose as it turns dry. When its time to remove it i saw some of the deep dirt removed facial hair removed black heads remove 70% removed. My nose is so light as i touch it feels so soft no oil like my usual nose less white heads and less bumpy. Most of the Blackhead removed is from the tip of my nose and cheeks area






STEP 3- CLOSING PORES

After I removed Step 2 my nose becomes itchy so I immediately applied the 3rd Sheet that used to close your pores. Its like a jelly patch same scent as the first patch greeny and rooty scent and I need to lay down cause its slippery.

AFTER APPLICATION
My pores back to normal, Nose looks fresh and clean and some of the gunk and blackheads removed.
No more itchiness overall im liking this product~



FINAL VERDICT


It can remove "some" deep stubborn blackheads. step 1 is so amazing opening pores some sebum removed easily While Step 2 removed around 70% of my blackheads and clear  the clogged pores
and Step 3 not totally closes or minimize your pores it tuns back to normal and ready to be clog again 👌😜. At the same time it's not for on the go person because it took time to do the 3 steps approximately 45 minutes to complete all of the steps and at the same time for 1 sheet its quite pricey for those na nagtitipid  you can buy at local drug stores a nose pack or nose cream with the same price point na magagamit mo ng ilang beses.

For me? I'm liking this product and i bought another 5 sheets of this at SM SAN LAZARO because when I go back where I bought it first time they are already out of stock.


did you also like or unlike this porduct? share your thoughts and let others hear what you experience.
Thank you for reading!

BENCH PAINTBOX HIGHLIGHTER

Bench Paintbox Highlighter


Last time i tried the Bench Paintbox Lash Lasting Mascara which is one of my holy grail mascara so for the second item from Bench Paintbox I tried their Highlighter.

Check out my YouTube Video Review and First Impression here

I bought this when Im at Lucky China Mall for P 139.00 this is the only shade they have. It comes with a plastic tube and its retractable which is when i opened it while filming the item fell on the ground first impression? NAY..

It is perfect for those who want a subtle glow on their face it is creamy and greasy. Maybe I'm just used to powder highlighters but i don't like the consistency of this one.When I swatch it at the back of my hand its pigmented but subtle but when i spread and blend it the pigment fades away and all left is oil and glitters. When applied on my face i don't see the pigment i want in a highlighter i need to swipe all over and over again to give the highlight effect but again once it was blended all left is glitter and oil. It emphasize my pores and i look oily the shimmers is too big and
obvious. I think when its hot and i sweat this looks ugly.
first layer


2nd layer
3rd layer
once I blend it

Overall thoughts i really don't like this item you need to layer up for the pigment to come out once it was blended the sheen i want is on but looking at the mirror i look oily it's glittery like a glitter eye shadow.  I,m not a fan of cream highlighter and this item didn't work on me. Will I use it again? Maybe yes maybe no but as of now Bench Paintbox Highlighter is a no no for me~

Used this? share your thoughts in the comment section below with your skin type =)

CLUB CLIO AT TRINOMA 30% OFF!

CLUB CLIO PHILIPPINES




Last August 19 2017 we went to Trinoma just to look for a computer table and acai mixed berry yogurt at Starbucks when I remember there is a newly opened Korean makeup store there I watched Say Tioco at Say Tioco Channel video vlog about it and we still have time so I asked my hubby if ever we can drop by I'm a Korean and Japanese Makeup and skin care Lover ~


Around 3rd floor (I think. I forgot what floor) near Youtube Lounge Landmark and Elizabeth Arden I saw their branch here in the Philippines. As we go near the place the only thing I want to buy that time is Clio kill cover and the only budget In my mind is 1,000 pesos below haha.

As we enter we are greeted by this beautiful Korean lady (and I really thought she is a Korean but she speaks Tagalog). 


She come near us and accompany us like a tour guide inside the store.



She asked what things I need I told her what I want and she introduce me the product, asked me if I’m acidic, checked my skin tone and we did a little swatching at the back of my hand. She says that #2 suits me the best even though my shade is #3 because foundations and concealers oxidizes if ever your'e acidic and which I am so Clio kill cover add to cart! Haha



I look around for a moment “walang bad vibes sa shop” staffs are so friendly with the smile on their faces super on-hand sa customers nila. They also know what are the pros and cons each of the items they are selling and super natuwa ako sa ganung set up. I don't want to compare but we all know if ever we asked for a certain item some sales lady don't know what to answer what are the benefits and if ever it suited on you but at CLUB CLIO no rooms for "wait lang po itatanong ko lang sa kasama ko"



My hubby whispered something to me that made me realize this is a blog worthy and Miss Julie Ann Buentiempo Velasco the one who accompany me that time needs a recognition  dahil sa sales talk niya yung P1,000  na budget ko naging P3,000😆

"Parang alam niya maigi yung status ng mukha mo yung need mo para sa oily face mo yung napansin niya na mahilig ka sa liptints yung hindi mo pagalaw sa eyebrows mo na dapat kakulay ng buhok mo and napansin niya siguro na mahilig or gamit mo is cushion then hindi mo pinatungan ng powder plus she knows very well ano inooffer nya sayo hindi offer lang ng offer para may sales another plus yung mga inapply nya sa mukha mo and inoffer sayo ang ganda sa mukha mo bagay sayo"- Hubby


That time I was wearing my Tony Moly Tony Tint Delight which is already faded because we drink something at Starbucks  and My Etude House Any Cushion Cream Filter which is Its not matte finish so my oil is too obvious lalo na I don't set it with a powder. I also don't bother plucking or doing anything to my eyebrows since its already bushy. When my hubby told me this I need pictures for my blog! 
KUDOS CLUB CLIO PHILIPPINES sa pag hire ng mga ganitong staffs.



Back to the shop i didn't know that time they have 30% off which is i bought 3 peripera cushions 1 kill cover concealer 1 peri's ink velvet and a translucent powder for only P2,920 when I was picking some products I thought it reached P4,000 already! luckily I went when they are on sale and I hope in my next visit naka SALE sila ulit para maraming item na mabibili in affordable price 😉

As of now im collecting P10,000 worth of receipt so I can avail their VIP Card or if you pay a visit on them and you bought P5,000 worth of item in single receipt you can have your VIP CARD already.

We went home with 4 bags of Club Clio Items see you again soon Miss Julie Ann and Club Clio😻

TONY MOLY FACE MIX PRIMER COLOR CUSHION

Tony Moly Face Mix Prime Color Cushion
 #Lavender


I got this baby when I ordered althea box romantic date box one of the eight items in this box is Tony Moly Face Mix Primer and the shade I got is lavender.



Packaging 

It comes with a simple color lavender box where  can’t read what is written on the back because it is in Korean while on the left side it indicates the direction, caution and distributed by.

Shades Available

The available shade in the Romantic Date box is Lavender but I saw in the website it has three shades one is green and the other one is yellow


First Impression

I love how it is so sleek and easy to bring. The packaging looks like a cushion foundation but much smaller it comes with the sponge like a normal cushion and the color of the sponge is also lavender. The compact is lightweight and it is made of plastic. I notice there is no grams or how much item in the product and I also notice I noticed that it also has SPF 50+ PA+++. According to Althea’s website Lavender base is best suited to Asian People and because it is a color correcting cushion Lavender or purple can hide yellowish pigments on our faces and it can cover freckles and trouble spots.


Coverage Test

While applying this baby it has this lavender color which turns white after toning down makes my face all white! All the imperfection and discoloration on my face are not visible anymore. It gave me this dewy finish but I really don’t like my face to be white as dead. I wait for a couple of minutes if ever it will matches my skin tone but it didn’t happen. I applied my Etude house cushion to tone down the color but it doesn’t work lastly I applied a pressed powder darker than my skin tone but it also doesn’t work. My face was so white that time and I think bronzer can’t help me with this.



Lasting ability

It did last long on my skin no movements no slipping but as I can see after couple of hours my face was still white. I think it is much better for people with white complexion (Korean skin to be exact haha).


Pros

  • ·       Lightweight
  • ·       Gives you a heathy looking skin
  • ·       With SPF 50+ PA+++
  • ·       Color correcting
  • ·       Hides Blemishes and Imperfection
  • ·       High Coverage
  • ·       Easy to bring

Cons

      • ·       Super White! As in White!
      • ·       Not actually perfect for All Asian people.
      • ·       White cast baby. White cast.



Ratings

After using it when I did my review I don’t think I’ll ever use it again after my husband told me I look like Kayako from the Grudge (I’m a big fan of Kayako though). If ill gave my rating its 2 out of 5. This have so many pros but its cons made me thumbs down on this one. 

Will I use it again? No. I will stick in my regular colorless primer and a color correcting concealer. Did I applied it wrong? Maybe yes maybe no. Tried it? Comment down below and share your experience!

QUICK FX NO SHINE MATTIFIER in 30g

QUICK FX NO SHINE MATTIFIER 



Looking for a budget friendly moisturizer that can do the work of primers? check out the not that new item on the market with its new packaging.



Check out my YOUTUBE DEMO about this item 


This item is around the market for so long. I been using it for almost 3 years now and glad that they have new packaging now and it has 30 grams of product on it. We are all familiar sa QUICKFX NO SHINE MATTIFIER in Sachet, from 50 pesos below to 99 pesos 😆 and I think only available in WATSONS.


This is actually a moisturizer that absorbs oil to control shine and make your skin smooth with a velvety feeling, it is matte finish and conceal fine lines and pores. Its Actives as the packaging says are Salicylic Acid which is normally good for oily skin and can help you with your acne.
Chamomile which I think where its scent come from but whenever I'm applying this one it smells like "skyflakes" a local biscuit here in Philippines.
Teatree extract or tea tree oil which is used for skin infection and acne and Mattewax. On the label you can use it under make up (what I'm always doing) and to use it over-makeup (never tried)

I love using this item because it lessen the oil in my T-ZONE when applied and also lessen the produce of oil for 2-3 hours. Im a dry combination skin type oily on my nose and forehead area and super dry on my cheek area. Ang dami ko ng natry na primers sa market for my oily TZONE some works pero hindi maganda sa dry areas of my face meron naman  na hindi talaga kaya so ang nangyayari bumabalik at bumabalik talaga ako sa pagbili ng QUICK FX.

When applied my face becomes smooth and meron syang velvety feeling looking at the mirror my face looks fresh parang bagong powder lang yung mukha ko. Its light even maraming layers pa ang gawin ko. Unang apply palang you will see that it really lessen the oiliness on your face nacocover nya yung pores ko and nalelessen yung fine lines na nagbubuild na sa mukha ko (sign of aging haha) lalo na pag ginamit mo siya under makeup ang ganda ng canvass mo pag naglagay ka na ng foundation its smooth pantay na pantay and mas madaling nabblend yung foundation the sponge or brush just glide sa face ko,


Quick FX no shine mattifier plus Maybelline Dream Velvet foundation on my skin

Whenever I'm in our house I applied this after my morning skin care routine kaya yung sachet 2-3 weeks lang sakin. I heared sa iba kong kaibigan na nag break out sila after to iapply some of them are like my skin type pero this one works for me very well.

Tried this one? Let me hear your thoughts in the comment section below.

Nature Republic and Bench Organics Aloe Vera Gel

MY TOP 10 BENEFITS OF ALOE VERA GEL

My story experience and thoughts


check my YouTube video about Aloe Vera Gel 



I seen many aloe vera gel in green tub all over the market now a days i tried and tested most of them but the one who really stands out and gave me nice results are the AVG from Nature Republic and Bench Organics

My mom has aloe vera plant in her garden she uses it to keep her hair black, shiny and long.
Shampoos and other hair care products contains aloe vera and back then if i saw aloe vera plant its just for HAIR.

Last year end months of 2016 before i started my YouTube channel my ex-boyfriend now husband 😌
bought me a gel from Nature Republic, He knew I love korean beauty product but that time i just stock it up and i feel i don't need it. A week after we went to TRINOMA go to my usual shopping when we passed by bench and saw a woman hoarding Bench Organics aloe vera gel. My ex-boyfriend now husband asked me if I used it already and i said no after that he introduces me GOOGLE hahahaha! and after that i said ok. lets give it a try.

After 7 months of using the item here is MY TOP 10 BENEFITS OF ALOE VERA GEL.

Aloe Vera Gel is a water based plant and some calls in a miracle plant because she can do almost anything. Its natural and full of benefits and it is a great choice for sensitive skin like mine.
  1. SUNBURN TREATMENT- as i make my YT video about aloe vera gel its around summer and the temperature is so hot just an hour without protection can give you sunburn. AVG has inflammatory fighting powers and helps you reduce swelling and redness. 
  2. MOISTURIZING- Some moisturizers moisturize our skin but it also can make you oily right? AVG can moisturize you without that oily and sticky feeling. I know I tried it 💓
  3. FACE MASK- I love Facemask/ Sheetmask and instead of buying and buying and buying mask! I invest into aloe vera gel tubs. I just put enough amount on my face and leave it for 20-30 minutes 
  4. ACNE/LITTLE BUMPS-My Skin is not an acne prone but I do have little bumps. Its well known for the girls out there and using aloe vera for acne breakouts can reduce the acne and little bumps. It has a natural fighting properties and also contain salicylic acid to heal acne and breakouts
  5. CHICKEN / PATCHY SKIN- The only oily part of my face and body is my T-Zone so most of the parts are dry and when its cold my skin becomes patchy dead skin everywhere its like im exfoliating and when its summer my skin becomes dull and looks like a chicken skin. Instead of using lotions i used Aloe Vera Gel to moisturize my skin 2x a day after bath and before i sleep to lessen my skin problems
  6. SOOTHING- Feel hot specially in summer season? Every time i go to bed and can't sleep because of the heat i used rubbing alcohol to lessen the heat but it makes my skin super dry so instead of using alcohol I use the gel for cooling sensation.
  7. HAIR CONDITIONER- I include this one but I never tried this. I just knew it works because this is my mom's hair routine. It will make your hair grow faster and healthy.
  8. SHAVING GEL- I have PCOS or Policystic Ovary Syndrome which is one of the symptoms is your having too much hair in certain areas of your body. I shave a lot and im using shaving gel which is very costly. So instead of buying shaving gel i used this as alternate its transparent it can moisturize your skin and at the same time its organic 
  9. MOSQUITO BITES- Mosquitos loves to bite how I wish they just suck my fat instead of my blood. Put Aloe Vera Gel in the area where its bitten you it will reduce itching and swelling.
  10. SKIN CARE ITEM- I love SKIN CARE and I got tons and tons of skin care products . If you are too lazy to do a skin care routine or dont have enough money to buy skin care products invest in aloe vera gels in tubs with affordable price and full of benefits what can you ask for?


IT IS TRULY A MUST TRY ITEM.

I recommend Nature Republic aloe vera gel if your don't have BENCH stores in your areas or country.

CUSHION REVIEW: Beauty Wise C.C Cushion



BEAUTY WISE CC CUSHION WITH SPF 50+/PA+++

I got this baby in one of our customers. They are one of distributors of lotions, rejuvenating set and creams around the Metro and now they add makeup to their lines and one of the items is the BW CC Cushion with PF 50+/ PA +++. An all-in-one compact cushion w/ 2 shades and also contains whitening, moisturizing and vitamins.



Packaging

Box

The packaging of this cushion is so plain, a white box with silver lettering's (logo). At the back of the box is the How to Use, Caution and contact number, the other side is the Ingredients and other side is the claims.


Product

Like the box the product itself is also white with silver lettering the puff of this cushion is brown normally its blue and it’s much softer than others.
Puffs in the box ( photo credit by BWSE)


AVAILABLE SHADES

They only have two shades the #Light and #Natural the one I got is the #LIGHT even though its lighter two tone than my original skin tone no worries because it oxidizes. I think it’s around #20-#21 in Korean cushions. 

COST

I bought this for P500 only because we are like business related but I think the retail price of this is around P800-900

                      

CLAIMS


  • ·      Whitening
  • ·       Auto Aura
  • ·       Moisturizing
  • ·       Covering Blemish
  • ·       Sun Protection
  • ·       Tone Correction
  • ·       Quick Step Using


CONSISTENCY AND SMELL

So the consistency of the item is a so-so not that thick not that thin but what it bothers me is not like other puff the product or the cream in its sponge in Filipino term “TINIPID”. I need to press the puff many times so I can get the amount I want. The smell of this is quite good smell like flowers and not chemical

TEST

So like I guess the light shade is too light for me but I’ll wait if it will oxidize on my skin. I have an oily T-zone and Dry cheeks and sometimes foundations I put in my skin tends to get grayish because I’m acidic.

BLEND-ABILITY

The item is blend-able but I’m having difficulties to apply this especially on the side of my nose and under my eyes

COVERAGE TEST

The coverage of the BW C.C cushion is remarkable. It has a high coverage and it completely hide my red veins in my cheeks, my dark circles and the redness on both side of my nose.  Bye-bye concealers!

Im sorry for the dirty puff after 3 months of using it.

PROS

  • ·       It can whitens your skin instantly
  • ·       I can wear this for my favorite no make-up, make-up look
  • ·       It can make your skin dewy for fresh look
  • ·       Because of the high coverage of this item you don’t need any concealers it can cover all your blemishes!!
  • ·       It contains SPF 50+/PA+++ for sun protection
  • ·       Easy to bring because of the size
  • ·       I can leave with only this without any foundation and concealers. Less Items in my make-up bag! (I still  need a pressed powder though…)


CONS

·       I hate the puff of this baby. I think if there are some improvement on the puff the item is superb because of it super soft I don’t know but I think it only absorbed the items.
·       Like I said para siyang TINIPID. Even you press hard you can’t get the amount of items I want.
·       After 1 month of using it I need a refill!
·       The puffs color is white and brown, the items stick to it and even I wash it many times it’s no use
·       And because I’m obsessed with the packaging, After 1 week of unboxing the name of the brand fades and I hate it.


RATINGS

After using this for 3 months already, 1 out of 10 I gave it a 8. Why? All the claims are ohhh sooo true! But because im a cushion enthusiast I just don’t like the puff (1 point deducted) and next time I hope they put more products in the Sponge/Filter for longer use (deducted 1 point).
LUCKILY! They have a refill half of the price of the cushion. So for a cushion worth P500 this item is worth your money!

after 1-2 weeks the name of the items already gone =(
