Snoe Glam Jam Blush

Lip and cheek tints are "Beauty Junkies BESTFRIEND". A magical gem that works wonders in seconds. There are days that I'm too lazy to put make up . A nice cheeky pop of color on my cheeks and lips would do the trick and makes me head out the door flawlessly blooming.

SNOE Glam Jam Blush in bubble gum (6g/ P119)

A water based cheek tint that flawlessly blends with skin. OHHHH! I love the NEON bright pink shade. It may look too bright on the pot but when applied and blended on well moisturized skin, gives a healthy flush. I can't resist it lovely color. A tiny amount is only needed to brighten cheeks. Glad I gave it a try. Now, I'm lemming to get the 3 other shades available. Summer is here and this would be a staple in my beauty kit on the go. Very much impressed with how long it stayed on my cheeks (more than it should --- about 6 hours).

See, how pretty this SNOE Glam Jam blush in bubble gum appears on skin :).

Ready for summer with cheeky cheeks and pinky stained lips...

Benefit Benetint

BENETINT

It was this most coveted, holy grail bottled cheek tint that got me curious on Benefit Cosmetics. Glad that I did because up until now, Benefit Cosmetics has never failed to impress me . However, like any other brands there would be some tat are comparable to other cheaper brands and works as well.

For me, Benefit Benetint lip and cheek stain is one of those products that other brands carry and doesn't hole your pockets. Don't get me wrong, I SUPER love Benefit but the Benetint for me is overrated.

My Personal Reasons:

• other cosmetic brands carry a lip and cheek stain line
• I need to layer on several times on my cheeks before color shows up
• staying power is not impressive; needs to retouch
• very pricey considering it doesn't really stain
• shade is similar to other brands available locally
• most of all, very expensive ($29 approx. P1400)

DISCLAIMER:

Benefit Benetint may not work for me. BUT, it doesn't mean that what I think or feel about this product would be the same with other LOVELIES out there. Because maybe the place and weather also varies for its staying power. Because in the Philippines, the humid weather is unbelievable. Maybe that's why it didnt work wonders on me. I'm not totally saying that Benetint is not a good choice, it's just that for its price I could get same benefits and usage from other cheaper brands.

Lovelies, any other lip and cheekstain that is worth trying ? :)

Model's Own nail polish in Bubble Gum NP059

Oh my , Oh my my! PINK is the color of passion.....

I've never been a huge fan of nail polishes but when I'm faced with gorgeous shades like HOT PINK, I suddenly forget that I don't splurge on polishes. Don't get me wrong, I do buy polishes but I only buy very few because I only get to apply them if done by my manicurist. I don't really like applying it alone because I'm not simply good at it. And, when I buy expensive polishes, I make sure that the shade is something I would wear often.

Went to this Super Sale Bazaar at World Trade Center last March 2, 2012 to buy some lippies from my current favorite brand. Thanks to my favorite online seller Sarah F.-- Make Up Hub by Naturele Collezione. I wasn't really going to buy polish but when it turned out that there's nothing much to buy anymore (I've almost completed the lippies), I decided to try the MODEL'S OWN Polish in bubblegum.

It was a good impulse buy. Since summer is just around the corner, a nice bright neon pink would be a great way to pimp up those nails. I'm so loving it. Quality is impressive. It's a bit opaque. It lasted a week on my nails chip-free. Model's own polishes offers a wide range of shades ranging from neutral to bright colorful shades. Now, I can't sleep. I want more of these superb polishes, can't wait on stocking up. (YIKES!!!)
