This is  my favorite facial wash ever. I have been using different kinds all the time looking for one that would suit my acne-prone oily skin. I decided to buy this in sachets first so I could try if it would good for my skin. I really like this since it doesn’t dry my skin after wash which always happen with other facial washes. I realized that when a facial wash dries my skin it would become more of an oil slick, so this passed in that aspect. It might have helped with my acne problem because I don’t get as much except when I get my period or if I used heavy make up for a long time. As for cleansing it’s really not that strong because I would need to wash my face twice if I used make up because once would not be enough to take off the product. Did it whiten my face? No, but it made my skin look even which is great. I really don’t know much about the ingredients of this product I don’t care much ’cause it works, for me. I would definitely be buying this, always.

I wanted a lipstick that would look natural on me for everyday wear. I read the reviews for this shade on makeupalley that it suits warm toned skin so I bought it to give it a try. This is my first Rimmel lipstick since this brand is not really available here so I just got this on ebay.

The color is really nice and natural as expected, it’s a bit sheer so I think the staying power would be not quite good. You would need to reapply after eating.

I definitely adore it! It actually makes my lips look healthy and soft and it feels that way too. I think it would look great with any blush/bronzer color that I have. I could say that this would a great everyday lip color especially those time when you’re in hurry and you don’t know which to pick you won’t go wrong with this shade since it looks natural.

There are only 2 things I don’t like about it, the fragrant smell and the staying power. Still I would be buying again if ever I ran out I just hope that when I do ran out I would still be available for me to buy.

Side note:

I won’t be writing much here anymore since I’ve sort of grew out of my ‘make up phase’ already (before I would buy 2 or 3 new cosmetics a week). I prefer natural looks at the moment powder foundation, light blush and lipstick…. and sometimes eyeliner. I don’t  use much eye shadows anymore or mascara…. I’m into phones right now (flashing, upgrading, hacking, personalizing, etc.) I have 3 units right now Nokia N82, N73 and 7360(this was Bella’s phone on Twilight! LOL ^_^). I’m also having fun with my family’s phones as well. What a switch huh? So I would probably be writing about other things as well.

I actually got this for a freebie meaning I didn’t really choose it for myself. I’m a bit anti-shimmer when it comes to my lips since I really have oily skin and i don’t want to enhance it by adding more shine on my lips.

Okay the lipstick itself is quite sheer, on my lips alone it’s a very light champagne color which makes my lips look pouty but in a pale sickly way. Staying power is very low as well. I think this would be good to put on top of your darker shade of lipstick so you can wear it by day and also to make your matte ones look more softer. I would probably be using this with a couple of brick red lipstick that I own.

I won’t be buying this, well I really didn’t buy it did I? But it can be used, no need to throw it away or give to someone else.

First I’d like to apologize for not writing anything for the past weeks. I’ve been obsessing over my new (at least new to me) second hand Softbank X01HT (aka Hermes, HTC TYTN etc.), it has given me problems and joy at the same time actually I’m still obsessing about it, tinkering, upgrading, installing apps basically just making it cool and pretty for my tastes. So now I guess I’ll try to at least write a couple of reviews a week if I can. Now the review….

I was looking for a loose powder to set my foundation when I tried and bought this. ‘So Natural’ is the darkest shade they have that’s why I opted for this one. It was pretty cheap for 25grams so what the hey, I took a chance. I applied this with a huge powder brush tapped a few on the lid, swirl and buff. Ok first reaction was the powder itself is not finely milled so application wasn’t flawless. The shade was a tad too light for me then but since I have acidic skin I didn’t mind because most powders would turn a bit dark on me after 30 mins or so. This powder didn’t work for me because I really have oily skin and this just didn’t have any oil control whatsoever. The only good thing is I didn’t break out from this still I can’t attest to it really because I didn’t use it that long. I don’t have this anymore sold it because I just can’t use it for anything else. If you have normal skin I think this might be okay to use as a final powder if you can find a shade that will suit you. So no I won’t be buying again, I like my powders finely milled thank you very much.(^_^)

I like this blush, it has 3 shades which you can use together or each one by itself. I prefer mixing them all together because I get this nice reddish apricot shade that makes you look really healthy but if applied too much it can look clownish so apply with a light hand. Also I like that it has no shimmers or glitters, that’s why it can look natural. Staying power is medium, depending on your skin type since I’m oily probably it stays on 4 hours tops. By the way the brush included is useless, it’s too soft for application and it can make your blush look streaky. This brand is not widely available here anymore so I don’t know where else to get this, that’s okay since I’m not planning to buy this again.

There were a lot of good reviews about this foundation in makeupalley.com that’s why I asked my sister to buy me this when she went to the US. Honee as far as I know is the darkest shade that they have so I chose this shade.

I used my foundation brush when I applied this, it wasn’t streaky but it was a bit greasy. Ok after application I really needed to set this, I used my Coty loose powder. Coverage was medium, not enough if you have dark acne scars you may need to use concealer. Staying power was not so good on me, well I have oily skin. My face started to become shiny after 15 min. I had to blot and blot and blot. By the way this shade is a bit too light on me but since I’m acidic after 30 min. it looked just right. After using this 3 times I had to stop because it just couldn’t handle my too oily skin. I really don’t like my make up melting in my face, it feels icky. I gave this to my mom, who has dry skin maybe she can work it.

I won’t be repurchasing. Oh if maybe you like the dewy look this might be good for that.

This is my very first official foundation brush. The hair is synthetic, the handle length is just right and it’s perfect for applying my mousse and liquid foundation. I found this brush when I was just window shopping at Festival Mall. There’s this kiosk selling soaps, vitamins and make-up stuff. I spied this along with other face brushes, I bought one right away which costs P150. I first used this with my mousse foundation and application was perfect, no streaking and it blended the foundie well. With liquid foundie application was also perfect and I really think that using a sponge or a brush is better than just using your fingers, I mean it’s more hygienic and if your like me who’s acne-prone you can never be too careful. After a week of buying one I decided to get another for emergencies. I always wash this brush every after use so when I get lazy at least I’ll have another one on hand. I realized when I bought my second brush that the first one I got is slightly less packed than the other one. It’s no biggie they both work just the same.

I’ve had this brushes for more than a year now and they both still look and work great. I had a bit of mishap with my first brush the ferrule kinda split with the handle but nothing a good glue can’t fix.

I recommend this if you ever spot this brush somewhere, it’s not very easy to find though.

I just got these stuff this morning, can’t wait to use ‘em. (^_^)

This is one of the best products I’ve tried that really really works, at least for me. This works to lighten freckles and age spots, reduce fine lines and moisturize skin. I used to have dark patches which are only noticeable to me on my forehead, I used this every night and has helped even out the color. But what’s really best about this product is it diminished all my black and whiteheads. The only thing I don’t like about this is when I wake up my face becomes really oily, more oily than usual. That’s okay, I can handle that.

When using this product always wear SPF and try not to stay out in the sun too long. Some people experience peeling when they tried this but not me, I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. This has not been a staple for me, I find the price a little steep for a maintenance cream I can’t always afford it but when I get some extra cash yeah I would definitely buy this again.

I tried this when I was battling with lots of acne before. I’ve read some reviews about this product that it does help with curing and preventing acne. It had seemed to work for me, it wasn’t miraculous or anything but it seemed to have helped a bit. I was able to finish one bottle and bought another one but I noticed that my skin was a lot more oilier than before when I used this. The reason I stopped using it was there were other products that I wanted to try as a toner. I never went back to this though, I prefer the toner I’m using right now.
