New Year's Eve Party Look

Filipino Family has been used to celebrating New Year with a BLAST!!! Most of us believed that using fireworks will drive away bad spirits once the 12 mid-night stricks. Now a days, some people are concern but still wanted to celebrate New Year without using fireworks and one safe way to create noise and  drive away bad sprits/auras to through loud music and fun parties.

For those who plan on partying all night, here is a look you can try. Below are the products I used and a demo video you can follow to achieve this look.

Holiday Look 2013

Happy Holidays Everyone! I was thinking of what look I can create for the holidays and I suddenly heard the song "Santa Claus is coming to Town" and it hit me! This look is inspired by this song where Santa Claus reminded us to be nice and not naughty. This look could be versatile whether you want to be simple and sweet or bold and naughty.

Product Review: Neutrogena Skinclearing Foundation

I've been researching on what foundations are good for girls like me with oily-combination skin type and I've seen some reviews and videos on some so I decided to list them and try to search for those who are available here in the Philippines. Luckily, more and more online shops are selling cosmetic products that are usually not available in the Philippines local malls and some products they sell are even cheaper compare buying it to the malls nationwide. 

One store I usually visit online or even when there is a bazaar near my place is the Chedelyn's Cosmetic Collections. They sell a variety of cosmetic products and tools. Surprisingly, one of the foundations that I listed is available on their store however, the shades that they offer a very much limited. So I decided to purchase this Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-free Makeup foundation.

Product Review: Essence Clear & Matte Oil-Free Make-up

I've been trying this foundation for a while and I think I am ready to give my honest opinion about this product. I've got this product from SM Megamall Department Store Watson's Section where mostly where I got my make-up from. It was a surprise to see a new brand counter and the amount of people wanting to see what this brand has to offer. The counter was a bit crowded so I waited to a while and decided to check-out other counters first. When my opportunity came, I scouted the counter to see what products I can buy and test and this is the 1st product that I saw. I immediately grab the sample bottle and read the label at the back to see the purpose of this make-up.

Product Review: Maybelline's Clear Smooth Shine Free Cake Powder

I am in the search for a new press powder since I already hit the pan of my MAC Studio Fix compact and its close to finish. I strolled around the Watson's section on SM Megamall thinking that I might find something and I did! I stopped by the Maybelline counter and saw Red Flags showing 10-20% discount in selected items and my heart just started rattling, however, the press and compact powders were not on sale so I was disappointed. I just realize how much I loved the Maybelline's Clear Smooth Shine Free Face Powder before so I thought of getting myself one of those again.

But something else caught my eyes! A small face compact that will be perfect for a small make-up kit I bring everyday! It's the Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One Shine Free Cake Powder Refill!
