SWATCH & REVIEW | Fenty Beauty Ma’damn Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick
Now ever since Fenty Beauty was launched, I always wanted to purchase something from the makeup line. I first considered getting the always coveted foundation. But the mixed reviews got to me and I already have Estee Lauder Doublewear as my holy grail liquid foundation. Highlighters? I’ve played around using my friends’ and I wasn’t impressed. They were dupe-able by more affordable brands. The highlighters wasn’t something that stood out to me. Now here comes the Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick (SRP 1,199 via Sephora.ph). She also has liquid versions but I prefer the classic cream formulation. Why? Because it has a longer shelf-life (1-2 years) vs liquid (6 months). Being the playsafe that I was, I…

Review: NARS Audacious Lipstick (Natalie, Michiyo, Rita)
Brand NARS Product Audacious Lipstick Shades Natalie (coral), Michiyo (pink), Rita (red) Price 32USD Okay, I was planning to relax, watch Daredevil on Netflix (I’m already on episode 11, I binge-watched Jessica Jones first lol) after a tiring yet fun day consisting of PTA meetings, working out at the gym, and attending a painting sesh earlier this afternoon at Sip and Gogh for a cosmetic event when my brain won’t stop. The thoughts about what I need to write, what I want to write, how I want to write it and everything else goes beyond the physical. The flesh may be weak, but my will to blog is stronger! Do you ever feel the same? No…

Spend vs Save: Chanel Rouge Allure Laque Dragon
Because of my blogger friend Donna, I was inspired to search for cheap alternatives for high-end products. She suggested to try Careline lipglosses. I tried and was amazed with the texture, pigment, and staying power of this gloss. More of that in my next post as I bought the best colors available and swatched all of them on my lips! (individually of course) The color Im going to feature today is the red one. Though not exactly alike, I found it to be similar to Chanel’s Rouge Allure Laque in Dragon. A lip color with the right amount of gloss and color. Haha.. pardon me for the messy application. But for 60 pesos…
