Day and Night Makeup [ collaboration with Micmic's Corner. ]

DAY and NIGHT Makeup look! ♥

vampire?! :D 

Ms. Michelle Magramo of Micmic's Corner, and I became friends through facebook. I believe she started her blog last year and I am still new at it. She is super nice. I actually featured her on my Trail of Kindness Tag. [ HERE ] So, click that if you want to see more of how we became friends. :) Her channel is www.michellemagramo.blogspot.com.

So, last week we talked about "collaborating" in doing one makeup look. Since we both aren't that experienced yet, we settled for the easiest one. A day makeup look. :) But as the days passed by, we came up with a few ideas and ended up doing a DAY and NIGHT look. :) 

This is her version. And you can see her post here.
Visit her! She has awesome posts and you'll definitely love her. :) 

And here is my version of the DAY and NIGHT makeup look.  ♥

But before that, here is a before shot of my face. I am not too confident about this, but whatevs! hehe 

look how crazy my eyebrows are there! hehe.
I cleaned it up already after that photo though :D 

I don't have a perfect skin or a pretty face. :D But whatever! I want you guys to see how I look BEFORE and AFTER putting makeup on.

Haters gonna hate! :) 

For the DAY look, here are the products I used. 

I made it simple.

For my face, I only used a foundation with a not so thick coverage. I put on a bit of concealer on the areas that needed to be concealed. Then, I just put on a little bit of blush too.

For my eyes, I didn't put on any eye shadow. I just lined it [ thinly ] with my black liner. And then I put on a little bit of white liner on my tear ducts,

 then I just dabbed it on with my finger. I curled my lashes and put on my favorite mascara! 

For my lips I used my HG lip balm to moisturize it. And then I used two pretty lipsticks, and I am good to go! :) 

This is actually a super simple everyday makeup that you can wear at school, office or even when you're just running some errands. :) 

Here are some other shots I took.

For the NIGHT look. 

It is another simple makeup look. But I used a different foundation. 

I used a cream one for a thicker coverage. I also used my concealer generously for a smoother, more flawless look. I didn't use too much blush because I used a super red matte lipstick. 

For my eyes, I used NYX Jumbo pencil in milk on my lids and then I dabbed on a very shimmery white eye shadow on the center of my lids. Then, I lined it with the same liner I used during the day. But I lined it thicker than the usual. I put on False Lashes to make my eyes look more dramatic.

[ This is my SECOND time to put on falsies. It took me 30 minutes to do that! hehe  I put it on just for the sake of the look.] 

I curled my real lashes and falsies together, and then I put on a mascara. Then, I am ready to rock and roll! :) 

It is another simple makeup look. You can wear on date nights or even when you want to go clubbing with your friends. Simple but very classy looking! :) 

Some other shots I took. 

So that's my DAY AND NIGHT Makeup look. :) 

I used very affordable but high quality drugstore makeups.

I am a NO PRO with eye shadows or with makeups! NA AH! I am not an expert. 

I still need to learn A LOT! But I hope you guys loved the looks. And please, do try it!

I would love to see your version of Day and Night look. ♥ Post it on my FB page if ever you guys try it! :)

my top 3 lippies.

I am a sucker for lipsticks! I don't know why but every time I see lipsticks, I feel like I'm in heaven! :) ♥ It's crazy how seeing lipsticks can make my heart so happy. 


I have a few lipsticks from Loreal, NYX, Revlon and a few other drugstore brands. I can't afford the high end ones yet BUT those are on top of my list. :) My goal is to have at least one MAC lipstick before this year end. I still have 6 months! hehe


So, I want to share to you guys the 3 lipsticks I LOVE the most.  ♥

YEP! They are all matte lipsticks. I don't know but I'm not really a fan of the glossy ones. I love them matte! ♥ 

1. NYX Matte Lipstick in Shocking Pink. 

I got ithis fom Kering- keri store last year for Php 285. But I believe Eunice sells NYX Matte Lipsticks now for Php 250! For all matte lipstick lovers out there, this lipstick is a must have! ♥

I already raved about this product here http://allaboutbeingglam.blogspot.com/2012/06/nyx-matte-lipstick.html . 

And visit Kering-keri store's page here https://www.facebook.com/keringkeri.store . 

2. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Matte in Mauve it Over. 

You can find this on any Revlon counters. I got mine from Watsons in Mall of Asia for Php 535-ish ( im not really sure ). 

It is a must have matte NUDE color! I have some kind of attraction to nude colors as well! ♥

I will review this on some other post, if you guys want. :) 

3. Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Mauvey

I bought my first ever tube of this product during EB's P99 sale last year. And since then I've been using it all the time! This lipstick started my love affair with nude colors. ♥ I believe they sell this for Php 140.00 in any Ever Bilena counter. :) 

Aren't they gorgeous? AH! I love them! ♥ I can't say enough good things about these 3 products. :) You can leave them matte or you can also put some gloss over it to make it look shiny and pretty! :) I love the colors. The bright pink and nudes are just my favorites. ♥
I would definitely recommend these 3 lipsticks to all the kikays out there! :) 
And yes, these lipsticks are worth every penny. ♥

REVIEW: Carmex Lipbalm

My lips tend to dry super fast! I was using my EOS lipbalm for months, and I like it but it isn't what I really need. I need a lipbalm that can moisturize my lips for a long time, a lipbalm that isn't that thick and greasy. I was searching the internet for the good ones that I can get here in the Philippines. After a few weeks of searching, there is one product that really caught my interest... CARMEX LIPBALM!

"Carmex adds natural emollients to your lips, while locking in your own body's moisture to help protect against chapping and cracking. Lanolin, for example, is a natural substance that locks in moisture. The lanolin in Carmex is easily absorbed into the delicate skin of your lips, where it provides a temporary barrier against the drying effects of wind, heat and cold. "

I saw a lot of good things about this brand.  I didn't know that it is available here in our country until just recently! So, I was super excited when I found out. :) 

I bought mine from The Landmark in Makati when me and my mom went grocery shopping there. I bought the one in this cute little tube (10g) for Php 109.75. 

Cheaper than my EOS ones! OH YEAH! ♥

PRICE = 10/ 10 ♥

I just find this tube super cute! And its yellow! ♥  YEY! 

They also have it on this little jar and the stick type one ( just like an ordinary balm ). Their packaging looks so cute and inviting, for me. :) It doesn't look cheap too! I LOVE IT! 

PACKAGING = 10/10 ♥

It claims to give your lips a long lasting relief or moisture. And I can say that it will really moisturize your lips for a veeeeeery long time! :) I LOVE IT! I expected it to be greasy and all that, but it isn't! It is not thick as well, and I love that! 

A few hours after I put this baby on, my lips are still super duper soft and moisturized! 

For MOISTURIZING your lips? 10/10 baby!!! ♥

I can't say enough good things about Carmex! It is the best lipbalm i have ever used so far. And I am pretty sure that I will forever love this product. I am actually planning on buying the one in the cute jar and the cherry flavored one! I am pretty ecstatic! :) 

PROS:

- its very affordable! ♥

- the packaging is cute and doesn't look cheap! ♥

- it really REALLY moisturize your lips for a long time! ♥

- when you put it on, for a few minutes you'll feel a minty/ tingling sensation. (and i love that! )

- its AMAZING!  ♥ BEST I've ever used! LOVE IT! :)

I can't think of any cons. I just love this product so much! :) Maybe the smell, for some people cause the smell kind of reminds me of Vicks. But that doesn't bother me at all! :) 

Will I buy this product again? 

OOOOH YEAH! DEFINITELY! It's worth every peso! :) ♥

I hope you guys find this review helpful. If you have dry, chapped lips like me (and that isn't sexy. hehe ). You might want to try this amazing product. :) It is very affordable and worth it! 

I am pretty sure that you can find Carmex at Robinson's department store and Landmark. It isn't available yet in SM, i think.

mini LUSH haul.

These past weeks i have been searching for good natural products to help my skin. 

My face is oily on the t-zone area but kinda dry on the cheeks, so I have an oily - combi skin. 

I searched all over the internet and I saw that a lot of people raved about LUSH's Tea Tree water. So, after a few days for searching for reviews and all that stuffs I went to LUSH!. :) 

Every time I pass through their store in SM MOA, I can smell this strong scent that makes my head hurt! I'm really not fan of strong smells so I was never interested on going inside their store. 

This is the second time I went to Lush. The first time was last year when I bought a few soaps for my mom. 

When I entered the store, cute soaps and a lot of stuffs are all over the place. If you don't have an idea on what to buy. it's really a bit overwhelming. 

So, here are the things I bought. :)

1. TEA TREE WATER [ toner ]

      250 g for Php 575.00

2. FRESH FARMACY [ face cleanser ]

     100 g for Php 395.00 but I got 1. 9-ish grams for Php 730.75

3. HONEY I WASHED THE KIDS SOAP [ soap ] 

    100 g for Php 245.00 but I got the one that was packed already for Php 281.75

So that's my mini LUSH haul. If you guys want a review of these stuffs, please don't hesitate to comment below. :)  And I just want to say that, I LOOOOOVE the Honey I washed the kids soap. I'm addicted! hehe :) ♥

REVIEW: Celeteque Acne Spot Corrector Gel

I hate breakouts! Who loves having them?! They are girls nightmare, right?

When I was younger, during my "puberty" period, my skin was just a mess. I had loooots of pimples and it was bad. I didn't know what to do back then. I didn't have enough money yet to buy some stuffs that will help me and my skin. And I just didn't care cause I thought it's normal, and it's not really a big thing for me back then. I used to not care. 

But as I grow older, I became more concern about my skin. I looked for products that can help me make my skin look better. I started using stuffs that helped me prevent break outs. As they say, " Prevention is better than cure." I started using good facial wash and some products that helped me prevent breakouts and lessen my oily-ness.

Because of all that, I don't breakout a lot anymore. But every time I'm PMS-ing, all the zits that can pop out WILL pop out! Its HORRIBLE!! I started looking for stuffs that can help me with my problem. I wanted something that will make the pimple go away! I tried a few stuffs, but bleeeh! They didn't work. 

Then, I heard about this thing that Ms. Say (saytiocoartillero on Youtube) talked about. She said it worked for her, and she mentioned a lot of good things about the product.That is why I gave it a try. 

The first time I used it, I didn't feel anything.So,  I thought it won't work. But after a few days, I noticed that my pimples are drying up faster than the usual. And the next thing I know, it already made my pimples disappear! My pimples usually last like a week or maybe more than that, but when I started using this, its dry after 2-3 days. 

What it does, is it dries up your pimple faster without leaving a mark on your skin. It makes your agony shorter. :)  It is in gel form which is pretty nice. It has a smell that I can't explain, cause I'm bad at it. But the smell is not that bad, it actually smells like shampoo. It reminds of Sunsilk, I think. I don't know! I'm bad at describing scents. 

The size is pretty small, but I think this will last for a few months. I had it since February I guess. And I used it every time I have breakouts. I use it in the morning and at night. And  I think it will still last me for some time. :)

I love this product, and it really works for me. :) 

Celeteque: Acne Spot Corrector Gel

I bought this from Watsons, MOA. And I believe I bought it for, 179 pesos. Its pretty affordable. And it really works. :) Its heaven sent! :) 


Overall, I love it. ♥ I give it a 9/10 rating. :)
