Spend vs Save | ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR VS MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY FOUNDATION
I’ve been using Estee Lauder Doublewear Stay in Place Makeup in Rattan for over 2 years now as my HG (holy grail) foundation. I seldom use it everyday because it’s too expensive for my measly budget. But it’s sooooo darn good it’s worth every penny! Now I heard from a few people that Maybelline Superstay 24 Hr Foundation is a possible dupe. So I just had to see it for myself! Estee Lauder Doublewear Price: 2,400php (Around 40USD) Expensive Satin finish Long wearing (24 hours) Doesn’t Oxidize No Pump Perfect shade match Challenging to blend Maybelline Superstay Price: 499php (Around 10usd) Cheap! Has a pinker undertone Long-wearing (but not as long as Estee it…

Sulwashoo Perfecting Cushion Ex 23 Review
I wouldn’t have known about Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion Ex if not for Rowena of animetric.net‘s rave review and recommendation. We were having lunch at an event when I complemented on how nice her skin looks. She told us, “Oh, I’m really having red patches right now because of a skin treatment. This is just makeup“. I’m sold. I had to own one. But the price range is on the luxurious side. So I purchased one. Grateful for being an Althea Angel as I received credits last Christmas. How does it fare on my acne-laiden combination skin (yes I have acne as of writing huhu) Price: Where to buy? Description Cushions have undoubtedly taken over the…

REVIEW: Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Powder Foundation

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation 2W2 Rattan (Review, Photos, Swatches) | BEST LONG WEARING FOUNDATION FOR ME
This is my ode to Estee Lauder Wear Foundation in Rattan and why I love it so much. Now before you read any further, I would like to let you know that I’m in my 30’s, have combination skin (oily t-zone, dry cheeks), and live in a tropical humid country like the Philippines. Finding a foundation that lasts despite those conditions and still look good for my skin is like a needle in a haystack. Tried different foundation formulas and price-range. High-end, mid-end, to budget. But nothing beats this baby. I want to kick myself for not purchasing this sooner. But hey, better late than never right? Continue to scroll for the full review, photos, and before…

REVIEW: banila co. it Radiant CC Cover SPF 30 PA ++
For the last few years, Korean culture had taken the world by storm: K-pop groups, K-dramas, K-food and K-beauty. I myself have an obsession with everything Korean. Who wouldn’t adore their charms as well as their gorgeous skin? Their climate and genes have a big part on their good complexion but it is no secret that their glow comes from religiously applying their skincare items and their genius makeup creations. Starting from the BB Cream, K-beauty have been catering the world for years and coming up with new innovative products from time to time. One of the latest craze in the makeup department is a hybrid of a brightening, moisturizing and correcting cream:…

Maybelline FIT Me Foundation (Matte + Poreless) – REVIEW, PHOTOS, SWATCHES
Hello ladies and gentlemen! Today we’re finally reviewing one of Maybelline’s best-selling foundation, Fit Me Matte + Poreless. It was launched last week together with their concealer and stick foundation variant. You can check my previous post (Maybelline Fit Me Swatches) to see all the shades and swatches. Then read up to the end for my full review that’s absolutely easy to digest. My shade is in #128 for my light-neutral olive skintone.
