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!!!)

Etude VIP girl nail polish in PK012

I'm just starting to be fond of nail polishes. Etude carries a wide range of colors and finishes of nail polish. Very affordable. Nail polishes range from P49- P350. The P350 usually comes in 3 nail polishes in a collection.

The quality is just fine. If applied properly to well groomed nails, it will last a week. And like any other nail polish, if well taken cared of, will definitely last. One thing that I like with their polish is that they don't discolor my nails even after how long I keep it on. The formulation is most likely mild. May not contain harsh and strong chemicals like other long staying branded nail polish.

It's worth a try, lovelies! Nice to have the limited collections too that comes in 2-3 complemeting shades in a bundle :)

Mac lipstick in Morange

Summer is just around the corner and spring bright neon colors are IN again. I've been fond ever since with bright pink shades of make up especially for blush and lippies. Last year, bright orange shade of lipsticks have been the hype of glamourous runways. Yet, inspite of the hype, I never really got interested on trying these shades. I just feel that it won't look good on me.

MAC Lipstick In MORANGE

Mac Iris Apfel Collection was launched early February 2012 in the Philippines and again I missed the most coveted Pink Pigeon and Pink Parrot :( ---loser me! The only shade I was able to get is Morange. I tried it anyway because I'm too disappointed to have

missed again the pink lippies.

Gladly tried it! Morange change my mind on not to wear Orange lippies.

Was skeptical that orange may not flatter my skin tone but surprisingly, it did!

I'm loving how the neon shade of orange brightened my face.

But then, I'm not sure if it really looks good on me. Maybe, I'm not used to this shade

that's why I still think pink shades flatter me more?

Lovelies, what do you think? Does orange shade of lipstick looks good on me? If it does, I would have a new challenge --- collect different shades of Orange lippies! Yikes! Should save up some more (Hihihi :P). Help!

Etude Lip and Eye Make up Remover

My make up routine would always include putting on mascara. With the exaggerated humidity in my country (Philippines) especially on summer season, waterproof and smudge proof eye make up is A MUST! That's why, make up removers is a main stay in my beauty arsenal.

Etude House Lip and Eye Make up Remover (198/100ml)

I've tried this make up remover and works fine. HOWEVER, when it comes to removing waterproof mascara could be more a little bit tad challenging. I would need to repeatedly rub/ wipe the cotton (with remover) off on my lashes . And even after I thought have removed mascara, after washing my face, there would be residue of the mascara. Unlike Etude's Mascara Remover, it easily removes mascara. But for long staying lippies/ lipsticks it works really well.

Nicely removed with Etude Lip and Eye make up remover

For me I like having both of Etude's lip and eye make up remover AND mascara remover. Because there are days that I only wear mascara and times that I would only wear eye make up with only eyeliner. They both will last a long time because a little goes a long way. Just don't forget to shake before use :).

I recommend Etude's lip and eye make up remover for those who does not wear mascara. It would be enough to clean the eye and lip are. But for those like me, who loves to wear mascara, the Etude's Mascara Remover would be the best one for the job.

Etude House Collagen Moistful Essence in Base SPF 22

I love make up so so much. BUT, it doesn't mean that I want the look of overly made up face. I just want to look natural and fresh. Dewy skin is the way to go. Matte is out. For me, it is important that skin is showing through even make up is applied. That's why I'm always in the look out for beauty products that helps enhance the skin's natural beauty.

Etude's Collagen Moistfull Essence in Base with SPF 22 ( around P600+/30 ml) is a great way to prime the face and achieve the dewy look. It has a glowing finish that reflects light. Giving a healthy fresh look. Skin looks so young and plump. As we all know, collagen is a booster for the skin in regenerating it's cells to look younger. Plus, it already has SPF 22 to protect skin . A lot of wonderful benefits in a bottle.

See how it blends well with the skin. Leaves a soft dewy look.

WITHOUT FLASH

See how it reflects light.

Nice if set with your favorite powder or foundation.

WITH FLASH

The only downside but I'm not sure if it really a downside since it's a base, is that I find it a bit greasy. But of course, when powder or foundation is applied after, it is mattified and leaves skin flawlessly glowing. It is not recommended to use alone, better to set with loose powder to avoid the overly oily dewy look.

Have you tried the other products of Etude's Collagen Moistfull range? Would love to hear it :)

Tony Moly: Ice Queen Multi Play Cream SPF 30

I'm a big fan of multi tasking beauty products. It is getting more that what you paid for.

The value for money and of course products are not limited to one purpose.

Very convenient.

The Tony Moly Ice Queen Multi Play Cream SPF 30 (P578/ 50ml) is a great moisturizer, make up base and sunblock all in one. And BONUS for it's super cutie packaging --- ice cream in a cup topped with choco fudge inspired look.

What I like and love about this product is that I don't have to pile on different products before I put on my make up. At first by looking at it's creamy texture, I thought that it would be too thick and heavy on my skin. I wouldn't want to end my day with a greasy face. But when I tried it in the store, it has a very light texture and easily absorbed by my skin. I was SOLD! It did moisturized my skin very well. The only issue I have with this is the scent. It is way too strong . The scent would last about 10 mins. but when foundation is applied, the scent fades away.

Now that summer is fast approaching.... multitasking products are very essential. No need to pile on beauty products to look great . Saves time , money and still get great looking skin.

If you're looking for a great light moisturizer with sun protection to try for the coming SUMMER, I recommend Tony Moly"s Ice Queen Multi Play Cream. It's worth a try.

PS:

I bought this from my own money. It was not sponsored. I write and blog on products that I've tried and tested. However, in some cases, products that I love and worked for me may NOT work for everyone. I just enjoy sharing what I've discovered and worked wonders for me.

So LOVELIES, share other multi tasking products that is worth trying.

I'm so loving KOREAN skin care lately :)

Tony Moly: Ice Queen Snow- White Sleeping Cream

Lately, I've become more and more concerned with proper skin care. The fact that I'm so much in love with make-up, skin care products are next to hoard :P. I still believe that good skin care would be better off than piling lots of make up. But then, my skin care are very basic.

CLEANSE, TONE AND MOISTURIZE

At night, I'm so lazy to put anything on my face. Especially if I'm too tired. Sometimes (more often) I 'm too lazy to go through the basic skin care regimen at night. I would only clear off my eye make up with my trusty Etude House Mascara Remover : One Shot Clean and use cleansing wipes to remove make up. I know that by doing so, I neglect to take good care of my skin.

So glad that I've discovered a new way of taking care of my skin. SLEEPING CREAM. I've read a lot of articles that during our sleep, our skin regenerates. And with the help of great innovative skin care nowadays, achieving perfect skin is no longer a problem.

Tony Moly's Ice Queen Snow-White Sleeping Cream (P578/50ml) is one of my best buy. I love its creamy but airy texture. So light and easily absorbed by the skin. It has the icy cool feel once it touches the skin. I use it 2-3 times a week. I apply it before I go to bed and when I wake up, I have an instant glowing and brightened skin. Skin so fresh. I guarantee, you'll look forward to the next night that you will be using it. (it is not recommended for nightly use) :(

LOOOVVEEE the packaging. I have to confess, it is the reason why I had to check it out and try it. Too cute to pass. But loved it even more when tested it. Just have one tiny issue, the scent. It is a bit strong for a skin care. Not that it annoys me but for those who are sensitive with scent might not like this much.

How about you lovelies? Is there any new and fun innovative product that you would want to share? I would love to try them too :) Share it to me lovelies....
