Here's a new pink lipstick I am currently loving. The Mary Kay Creme Lipstick in Pink Melon. I got this during the Mary Kay Press Event last March and I just fell in love with the shade.


Mary Kay Creme Lipsticks have a nice formulation and I'm sure those who aren't fans of matte lippies will love this. It glides on easily to a smooth finish and it's super pigmented. In addition to that, I also like that it has a pleasant scent, an almost unnoticeable caramel-like smell.


I also love the sleek and sturdy packaging. It's not like the drugstore lipstick tubes made out of cheap plastic. The lipstick product itself doesn't wobble inside the tube, so I'm very pleased with that. I hate it when lipsticks starts to bend on the sides of the tube then ends up looking like a mess.

April is almost over and I am sure that this coming month of May, many of you will surely be attending beach or pool parties. Here is a simple but fun look for you ladies, I hope it helps. ^_^

Hey ladies, especially to my fellow Cebuanas.  I know that a lot of you have been asking me where you could possibly learn to put on makeup here in Cebu. Here's the answer you've been waiting for.

Noe is a fellow beauty blogger and Youtube beauty guru from Cebu. She's also a makeup artist and have a lot of experience working with different faces.  So, I am sure you are in good hands.

Repost from Noe's Blog:
The great thing about these classes are that they're catered to ladies who want to know how to apply makeup flawlessly and who are budget conscious. I don't blame people who do want to get value for their money given our current economic state. She devised 2 different classes; first is the Personal Basic Makeup Class and second, the "Get That Look" Makeup Class.

The Personal Basic Makeup Class will teach the student/s how to apply personal makeup from foundation to lipstick. She will also be diving into technicalities such as different brush uses, how to pick the right foundation and powder, how to shape and fill-in brows, and proper concealing and contouring. The class is more intensive which will run for a good 3 hours.

The "Get That Look" Makeup class is inspired by email requests she got from viewers who want to have a "live" makeup tutorial from her. This is a great class for those who have a little background with makeup and who want to perfect a certain look. The student/s will submit a photo of a look they wish to perfect and the whole class will be centered on how to achieve the look from foundation to lips. The class will run for 2 hours.

All the students of each classes will be asked to bring their own Brush Set and Foundation. Everything else will be provided by Noe and the Studio. There's a limit of 4 persons and a minimum of 2 per class. Upon special requests, one-on-one classes can be arranged. The class is exclusively held at Dolled Up Makeup Studio and Supply.

Here's the MAP going to the Makeup Studio.

Until next time.

This is the first product I ever purchased from Snoe Beauty. And I just have to say I'm amazed!

I know some of my readers have been curious what Mac Blush in Harmony looks like. So, I'm sharing with you the photos and swatch of the product.

I have been using the Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Masacara early this year, and been really loving it. I got the sample size tube so it's different packaging from the full sized one.

I have been visiting the Sigma website every now and then, since there are a lot of makeup brushes that I want to purchase from them. I just want to keep you ladies updated for Sigma's latest product releases this 2013. I have been lemming some of their products, so you might want to check them out.

The Resort Palette comes with 8 eyeshadows, 1 blush, 1 liquid highlighter, 1 dual-endend eye liner pencil. This is definitely perfect for spring and summer!

Haven't posted my product empties for a while, though I did finish up a lot of body and hair care products prior to this. I just think that some of these products are worth mentioning.


Well then, let's get this started. I've been using these products since last year so it took a little longer to empty out the tubes and bottles.

First up is the Bathology You Big Softy body lotion - I do have a review of this product HERE. Though I love this lotion, I won't be repurchasing it since I want to try body lotions from other brands. In addition to that I do still have two full sized bottles of Bath and Body Works body lotions to finish up.

Mac Brush Cleanser - I will probably repurchase this since it cleans up my makeup brushes really well and quick too.  You can read the full review HERE. The price might be a little steep for a 235ml bottle. I bought this last year for Php680 and now I think it sells for Php750 at our local Mac counters. I want to try other brush cleaners like the Parian Spirit, to see how this one compares.

Human Nature Sunflower Seed Beauty Oil - Full review of this product can be found HERE. I've used this product in different ways. I have used it as a moisturizer on days when my face feels really tight and dry. I have also used it on my underarm, as well as a hair serum. Lastly, I used this to soothe my growing itchy
belly. I must say that this product has served me well and will definitely repurchase.

Human Nature Natural Feminine Wash in Chamomile Cool - The best feminine wash I have ever tried! I already repurchased my third bottle and will continue to do so.  I always buy the 50ml size since this tiny bottle can last me up to 3 months and the best part, it only costs Php54.75.  I have also tried the Chamomile Fresh variant but I like Chamomile Cool better. If you're the type who loves to go out and hunt the clubs in london for your dream guy, then you absolutely need this in your stash. It gives a cooling sensation that really soothes itchiness and keeps you fresh all day.

Vitress Heat Protect Cuticle Coat - I use this every time I want to straighten my hair. I like the smell of this product and how it makes my hair super soft afterwards. It has a thick consistency, which I find annoying at times since my palms feel sticky. Though this is a mediocre product, I won't be repurchasing. I want to buy a proper heat protectant like the ones from Tresemme.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Swivel Stick - I absolutely love this stuff! It's a multipurpose on-the-spot moisture that can soothe chapped lips, lighten marks and blemishes, and moisturize rough and dry skin.  This can even lighten scars especially if you apply it on a wound or scratch that just healed.  I will definitely keep repurchasing. I'm already about to finish my third tube. This is only available at Rustan's and it's always out of stock.

Alba Un-Petroleum Lip Care with SPF 15 in Tangerine - This is an average lip balm. Some ladies might find the scent too strong. I like that this isn't waxy at all. If you are the type who doesn't like lip balms that has a glossy finish, then this is for you. It cost Php99 pesos at Healthy Options.

Etude House Easy Brow Pencil in No. 1 - My favorite brow pencil to date! I just really like the shade and the formulation of this brow pencil. It glides smoothly and doesn't tug. You can read my full review HERE. I already repurchased and it costs only Php128 at our local Etude House stores.

Maybelline Watershine Pure Lipstick in B22 - This is my MLBB shade. The lipstick in the photo above is actually my second Watershine tube. So, I am not planning on repurchasing a third one. A lot of better formulations are already available in the market. You can read the full review HERE.

Lastly, the Pure Beauty Pomegranate Anti-Oxidant Eye Cream - This is the first Eye Cream I tried. I saw it at Watsons one day and only cost Php109 at the time so I bought it. Too bad this absolutely did nothing for me. I just continued using it so that it won't go to waste. This one's simply a total fail. I think it already has been discontinued.

Until next time.

Cheerios!
