Spend vs Save: Posie Tint vs Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint #2 in Pink
From the bottle, to the texture, to the shade. These 2 products are so similar except for the brush and the price! But do they give the same effect and results? Let’s test drive! Color-Payoff Winner here is Benefit. It looks more natural. The just-pinched pink color. Etude House’s is bordering on neon when applied too heavily. Staying Power Benefit beats Etude once again. Although the one from Etude House lasts long as well, it doesnt match up to the whole day last until night staying power of Benefit Scent Some prefer unfragranced cosmetics but the bubblegum cherry scent of the Fresh Cherry Tint is too hard to pass up. It smells so…

Shu Uemura Glow On Blush in P Amber 83 – Review and Swatch
It looks peachy brown in the pan but its a soft skin tone flush. See more photos, description, and fun facts about blush below Under natural lighting.. it is really barely there.. This is already 5 swipes folks.. but in person it actually shows something. This is a recommended blush for those who like bright lip colors but dont want to go out barefaced. It balances out your face and gives it a nice contrast. Lasts 4-5 hours with no retouching. This would show up on fair skin tones but can be used by both warm, cool, and neutral range. I won’t buy again. I’d rather get NARS Zen or Madly. Love blushes?…

Swatch Photos and Review: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Rose
What’s your favorite blush when you need to brighten up your day? This is another unsung hero of mine, ever since I got this shimmer brick from a swap with sis babyjapnrs, it’s the only blush Ive been using for the past 3 months! Yes that is correct, my friends even say theyre sick of seeing the same blush on me. (But I still love it, I might get other shades naman) I got the rose shade and it’s a nice mix of pinks, roses, muaves, and a white rainbowy color in stripes. They can be also used as eyeshadow if you prefer. Under natural light, the one on top is all colors blended…

Review/Swatch: NARS Blush in Deep Throat : My Favorite NARS Blush
NARS products are a hit or miss on me. I have acidic skin so most of their blushes turn to a strange color after sometime on me. For example, NARS Angelika is described as a cool bubblegum pink, after 15 minutes on me it turns orange. NARS Sin is supposed to be plummy, after a few minutes, it turns brown. Sad really 🙁 Retail Price: 25USD or 1350PHP and yes, it’s dirty. The only NARS blush left in my stash is Deep Throat, surprisingly, it does not change color in me, gives a glowing translucency and makes me look radiantly blooming. Yup yup yup! This is also my go-to blush when I can’t…

Wearing Red Lips..MAC Ruby Woo
Red lipstick really looks good in the evening, especially under low warm lights. Here’s a photo of an officemate and me in our Western-inspired Christmas party. It looked less harsh compared when worn under daylight. Couple-o-cowgirls I wore this under lipbalm. This is the DRYEST lipstick made EVER but the BEST RED (for me) Under daylight. Love the necklace my grandma gave me for Christmas! 🙂

Chanel Rouge Coco Jersey Rose : Swatch Review, and More
OLD POST PHOTOS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Okay.. I’ve been blessed to have received 2 lipsticks from the 2011 Spring Collection from Chanel and the first one I’ve tried is Jersey Rose because a GT (girltalk) buddy requested for it. I was planning to post Flamboyante first though haha! The formula of Rouge Coco is not something to look forward to since it can make dry lips even chappier so make sure you have a lipbalm underneath! I have quite pigmented lips and jersey rose is pigmented enough to cover that up and make my lips look fresh and juicy. haha! I cannot quite explain the color on me.. The color of this lipstick…
