Hey ladies, it's been a while since I last wrote about body products and I would like to share a few of the essentials that I've been currently loving.
Whew, it's been almost a month since my last post. I have just been busy in the past few weeks and honestly was just feeling lazy and sleepy everyday after work. I do hope I get back to my old upbeat self where I'd feel excited to write and share about my beauty discoveries.
It has been several months since I bought the Zoeva Classic Eye Brush Set. I was lucky enough to have gotten the 40% Off code from Luxola late last year (2014), which is why I bought this brush set right away. I have been using these brushes for a good number of months so it's high time to let you gals know what I think about them.
Yes, you ladies read that right. Tory Burch Beauty and Fragrance is finally available here in Cebu. It is located at Rustan's, Ayala Center Cebu. I was invited by the Tory Burch PH team a couple of months ago for an intimate launch held at Radisson Blu Hotel here in Cebu City.
After several months, I finally got around to reviewing the ever popular DipBrow Pomade. Anyway I bought this around August, last year (2014) and I've been using it ever since. Please note that I don't use this everyday. Coz, let's face it... It's not the quickest way to shape and fill-in my brows.
If you're not already aware, I've got a little weakness when it comes to perfume. I've used a lot over the years so I thought, why not share with you guys what sort of perfume I've been using. I love citrus scents with just a tiny hint of fruity and floral fragrance in them. Mostly mild scents that are easy on the nose.
I'm not that really particular with concealers before, but when I started experiencing breakouts last year, I was left with pimple scars and so my hunt for a good concealer began.
There were so many choices from different brands, but I was looking for something affordable with really great quality. That's when I remembered that Youtube Beauty Guru xteeener really loved the Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette. I've read a lot of good reviews about this concealer palette as well, so I was convinced to give it a try.

Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette in Light Swatches
The consistency is really creamy and smooth which makes it very easy to blend. Contrary to what you expect, it is not as thick as other cream concealers. What's even better is that it has excellent coverage, so I don't need much to cover my pimple marks or my under eye dark circles. It also stays long around 6 hours on me before it starts to fade, but note that I have to set this with a powder foundation in order for it to last.
Here is the Sonia Kashuk Conceler Palette in action. That is my bare face on the left side with all the pimple scars and on the right side, you will notice how my pimple scars were perfectly covered. They will all look even and flawless after I've set them with my powder foundation.
What I like about it...
* inexpensive at only $10.50 approximately Php 472
* has three different concealer shades which you can mix as well
* has a colorless setting powder for dark circles
* has a sleek and convenient packaging, which makes it very easy to travel with
* stays for a good 5 to 6 hours on my before it starts to fade
* has soft, smooth and creamy consistency
* since this has a fine texture, it is very easy to blend and layer
* has a faint scent but barely noticeable
* I did not experience any irritation or allergies with this concealer
What I don't like...
* not easily accessible for us here in PH
My rating: 5 / 5
So my verdict is already obvious, I absolutely love this stuff! Even my besty and fellow freelance Make-up Artist Khymm really likes it. She has seen and experienced how effortless it is to cover blemishes and pimples with this palette. If you are looking for something that is affordable with excellent quality, this would be it. This is Hollie approved and would definitely recommend it.
Until next time.
Cheerios!
