December 2015 Haul & Mini Review

It's that time of the year again, when people would always find an excuse to shop and buy everything they want. Hi Bonus! I mean, Christmas Season! 

It's been quite sometime since I did a haul or even post a blog, but I am here now. I'm still a cheapskate, i'll still go for an affordable price but def not for a cheap quality. 

I'll start off with my 2016 Planner, I bought from National Bookstore. I used to buy planners from Papelmerotti. The one that's in a brown paper and cute front covers, but it's too small. I dont think I can properly write down schedules and to do list with those. 

I was gonna purchase one from 168 Mall, but the maroon/deep red color of this planner caught my eye. 😍

This is my first time to have this kind of.. Wait how do I describe this... this kind of adult-ish / professional planner. 

Here are what the planner has inside

Of course, personal information:

Special Dates to remember plus 2017 calendar

The planner itself.

And bigger boxes just in case you cant fit your schedule on the small boxes from the prior page. 

( I DONT KNOW WTH HAPPENED AND THE REST OF MY POST ARE MISSING OR HAS BEEN CUT. :(( i hope you guys can also view the pictures now.. )) 

But, I'll be sharing with you two of my holygrails when it comes to skincare. 

First one is from Dickinson's Witch Hazel. It's their Pore Perfecting Toner. Actually they have two variants the other one is an astringent which I think, made my skin dry, so I decided to use the pore perfecting one again and just stick with it forever. Lol

I got this for Php79 at Healthy Options, Sm Mla. I dont have any cons about this! It does it job and claims well! 

I am inlove with Human Heart Nature's products. In fact, if you guys read my blog you'll know I did try their shampoos and moisturizer. I'm still using them up to now.  the next one is their Human Heart Nature's Hand and Foot Salve in Eucalyptus. 

I'll rave about this! It does great for moisturizing and it also has this relaxing scent! Just be sure to get the Eucalyptus variant. That's 2-in-1!!!! I really suggest you guys try this! 

On to the makeups!

I was only going to buy an eyeshadow base but because matte eyeshadows are my thing right now, I bought this Catrice eyeshadow. I'm eyeing on Make Up Revolution's Ultra flawless matte eyeshadows. Saving up for that! 

Here is Essence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base:

Php 229, Sm Dept Store.

And Catrice Absolute eyeshadow in Go, Charlie Brown! Php 150. Reg price of: Php249

Oh I did a mini review/first impression about these two:

Eyeshadow base: creamy consistency, a little goes a long way

Eyeshadow: creamy, smooth and matte! 

With primer: It made it look more of a warm brown rather than just a ashy brown comparing to the swatch under it. 

I did this at 12am of Dec 13. I woke up at 9am. You can still see a hint of brown on my wrist. Longevity is great and it made the eyeshadow more opaque. I would suggest these two for you girls to try out. If you're on a budget, nagkukuripot or just wanna be a wise buyer. Who doesnt right?! 

Oh and a disclaimer: Just because these products work for me, it wont mean it would always and also work for you. Just keep in mind that we all have different skin types. I suggest to ALWAYS search for reviews about the product you'll be buying and testing out. 😉

Until next post,

Top Three Favorite Lippies!

Hi guys! I've been inactive here but I am sooo active in IG. Lately, I have lots of free time so I played with my fave things in the world, i want you guys to guess what they are! Hahaha.

I have been practicing doing my brows and my eyeliner with a thin flick using my Avon Super Extend Eyeliner (I posted a mini review on my IG, @esirryhat) that I neglected my babies, i mean my lippies. So, today, i got to use some of them. 

You guys dont know this is a new trend!! Hahaha. I wanted to compare NYX SMLC in *Antwerp (got confused with amsterdam and antwerp) and Wet N Wild Just Peachy. Yes, I'm a fan of pink-peach-rose lipsticks. 

With this one, I tried that Korean gradient lip trend, where you used a darker lip color for the inside and lighter at the outer. I used Revlon's Lip Balm/Stain in Crush for the inside part and WNW Just peachy for the outer. 

Same products from the 2nd picture. This was after applying the lippies for 10minutes. That revlon balm stain!!! Ughhh. <3 Stain kung stain! :D Looove eet! 

When I first tried using make up, the only lipstick I would buy/wear are lip stains ( My college friends know this! Thank you for lending me yours, girls! hahahaha!) because I hate how sticky lipsticks are, it could run all over your face. I used to be a low maintenance girl, but ya know, that was just a phase in a woman's life. Wow. :p

Right now, although I own lots of lippies and if I were to be asked to pick ONE lippy that I would bring with me for everyday,that would be... lip stain/lip tints all the way, gurrrrl!

So here are my top three favorite lippies:

NYX SMLC in *Antwerp

WnW Just Peachy

Revlon's Lacquer balm stain in Crush

I want to know what are your fave lippies especially lip stains/liptints, then maybe i can try them! :) til next post! :)

Putting colors in your plain smokey eye!

Hi guys! Let me share one of my routine when I'm online, and that's to watch Youtube Makeup Tutorials! I'm subscribe to Batalash, chrisspy, patrick star, michelle phan (of course), NikkieTutorials etc. 

My fave of them all is Batalash! Sssssmantha! Their channel also gives techniques if you are an aspiring MUA, like me. :P 

Here's one technique they shared:

Using a black color as a base to make the lid color you like stand out! 

I have been doing make up looks with neutral colors and some pinks and purple. I decided to get out of my comfort zone and some other colors (bold colors) to try. It was scary at first because I dont want to look like I was just punched my someone. Err, black eye , nope!

So here's a green eye smokey eye just for a change! 

I used these eyeshadows from Nichido and Avon Color Fold Up Pallette. I paired it with a nude lippie and rosy cheeks, because I want the eye makeup to stand out. 

So, the black base! I first used a flat eyeshadow brush and sprayed some water on it so I can pack alot of the color to my lid. I blended it with a clean brush.

Then, the color you prefer for your lid, sprayed some water again to the brush, then pack it on your lid. Voila! The color will be more opaque than the usual! More darker though. But I like it. :D i used that dark green and black right there in the nichido palette.

Then that green in the Avon Color Fold up Palette as the blending color because I dont think using a brown color as a blending color would work. :p 

BLEND, blend and blend! Hehehe. :p

Can I just rant about this NYX SMLC in Athens? Gahd. The perfect nude for me! :">  i got this from bodyrockers in IG! :D

For the rest of my makeup, I didnt use foundation so you still can see my veins and imperfections there! Hahaha. Naah, I was too lazy and I feel my eyes are going to be more irritated if Im going to layer more makeup :( But I cant help myself from not playing with my makeup :( Hahaha. 

Used concealers (yes concealers! I used my nyx concealer and LA Girl Pro conceal) to hide my blemishes, and to brighten the undereyes. 

Used my jazzy brow gel for the brows.

LOL white eyeliner

Sansan black gel eyeliner

False eyelash

Jordana Blush 

NYC sunny bronzer

There! :D til next post! Oh! Im running out of ideas for make up looks, can you guys comment what you like for me to try? :)

Eyebrow Routine using an Eyebrow Cake/ Powder.

Hi everyone! It's been awhile! I finally had the time again to do a blog. (I have all the time in the world now! Ha!) My previous post was about my eyebrow routine using a pencil, now I'll be sharing with you guys how I do my brows using a Powder/Cake.  I have two ways of doing it because it depends if I have the time to perfect them brows and I want them to be precised or I dont have the time and I dont want to put too much effort on it.  It also depends on my mood. ;)

Ill be using my Marionnaud brush, it's dual ended so it's handy! It comes with a brush for the application on the other side, and the other one is a spoolie. Very convenient!

Next, is the star of the show ( I mean, post). It's my Eyebrow Cake from NYX in Taupe.

Inside, you can find two mini brushes. One spoolie and the other one is just an ordinary brush.  It also contains a wax, two shades of powders: One light and one dark.

Here's how I use this.

First is of course to brush your brows in place. Then, with that mini brush, I dip it into the wax and apply it to my brow hair just so it would stay in place.

You can use a setting spray or just water.

Sprayed some on the cover.

I find it easier to use and the color shows its true shade when it's use with a damp brush.  Plus, that's why it's called eyebrow cake because it's easier to blend with if it's a little bit damp. ( dont quote me on that though haha. )

I dip my damp brush into the two shades then take off the excess with a clean tissue paper.  I outline my bottom part of my brows.

Then my upper part.  I blend them afterwards and then put some for the sparse parts of my brows and then brush it off using the other end of my eyebrow brush.

If you have put too much and you messed the shape of your brows you can always use your concealer and clean it up, like what I did in my previous post
Here's how they look!





Full make up list:

Fashion 21 Two way cake
Jordana blush
Wet & Wild Just Peachy and mixed with NYX Matte in Angel.
Maybelline's Falsies Mascara
NYX Concealer Jar




'Till next post!

Eyebrow routine using an eyebrow pencil.

Although, I'm a lipstick junkie my fave part of my make up routine is doing my brows. I've been practicing to have that perfect brows, Well atleast for me.

I dont like those over done brows. lately, the natural looking that has a shape and a little arch is fine with me. I am also struggling (struggling is way exaggerated!) to find the perfect shade for my brows. Not too black, not to brown. I have a black hair, so if anyone can suggest a good one, comment down below please? *.* 

So, i just wanna share to you guys how I do my brows using a pencil, a brow powder and a brow gel/mascara. For this post, I'll be using my Nichido Eyebrow Pencil in Black brown. Then for the brow powder and brow gel, maybe on my next post. ;) I've been loving my routine using the brow mascara and my marionnaud eyebrow brush, so watch out for that. You guys, can get a little trick from it. Hopefully!

Okay, enough with the chit-chats! 

You need: an eyebrow pencil, a spoolie/brow brush, a clear brow gel/plain mascara and a concealer.

Here's me with my newly groomed, and nicely shaped (for me and by me) brows. IT'S IMPORTANT to have your brows groomed and cleaned okay? Unless, you're born like Julia Barretto or Cara. ;) but me, i like me brows to be nicely groomed. 

Disclaimer: i am not a professional. I dont claim to be one. But i am striving to be one. Hahahaha! Chos! Please bear with my bare face and my brows. This is how I want them to be. ;) 

1. Brush your brow hairs into place using a clean spoolie and a clear brow gel just to set the hairs into place. (I'm using nichido's clear mascara! Hehe :p)

 

2. Using your newly sharpened brow pencil outline your brows the way you want them to look like without being too harsh or too fake. Just follow where your brow shape is going. (If that makes sense.) 

3. This is how it'll look like. Please outline your brows and fill in your brows' sparse parts very lightly with short strokes, i repeat, SHORT strokes. We are not trying to create a perfect, engineer-ed line here, people! (Hahahaha, this is me, laughing at my own jokes)

5. Brush your brows using the spoolie or just an ordinary brush lightly. I think that's the secret with that natural looking brows... 

 

6. After brushing, you see that some of the product went too far away from my brows, worry not! Because, the concealer will save the day!

  Concealer +Highlight= the wonders of makeup! 

*apply concealer on your brow bone and the area where you can see a product that shouldnt supposed to be there. Hahaha! 

7. Eww my beauty blender... Hahahaha. Hey, im too lazy to even wash it everyday! Dont judge me!

Anyways, just blend the concealer on your skin. It'll act as a highlighter too for your browbone. ;) 

8. Teneeen!! The after look! Here's my brows after 7steps! :) this is my go-to brow look whenever i feel like I dont have the time and i'm going to be late.

 I feel like, pencils are great whenever you're in a hurry but you just cant leave your house without having brows done! ;)

 

See you in my next post!

  I'm planning to blog about my brow routine using my nyx eyebrow powder, my jazzy collection's brow gel and my gradient lips tutorial. ;) which one do you like to be next? Hmmm..

Rewards for myself! (July&August Haul)

Hey everyJuan! (See what i did there!) 

Been MIA for the past weeks since I've been employed... Let's not talk about that. 

Employed = Paydays = Hauls = Tiring too. Hahaha.

Here's some of what I've been buying just to reward myself! Plus, i miss blogging.  Most especially doing looks and playing with my most favorite things! Make ups!! 

Let's start off with hair care/skin care/lip care!

Lately, I've been using and trying out different products from Human Nature just because I want to use all natural beauty products. Ehem #maarte ehem #iwaschemical hehe.

Human Nature's Moisturizing Conditioner, Peppermint and Wild Berry Lipbalms and Strengthening Shampoo

Their shampoos and conditioners smell oh so good! but it does not lasts unless you'll wet your hair again. :( 

With the peppermint/strengthening shampoo, it feels cool on the scalp which I find relaxing but i love the moisturizing/lush vanilla scent more. 

Human Nature's Moisturizing Shampoo and Hand and Foot Salve

Tbh, I didnt liked the peppermint one because I feel like it makes my hair mre frizzy. So, i bought the moisturizing one right after i emptied it. 

I'm suffering from very dry hands that it tends to crack my skin which is annoying and painful(a little bit). I've read that this salve saves dry hands!! Haha but srsly! So i bought it and ill try it after i empty my nivea creme. 

Lip balms! 

Human Nature Lip Balm in Wild Berry 

I was planning to buy another maybelline baby lips, but i'm determined to switch to all-naturals so i decided to buy a lip balm from Human Nature as well. I didnt picked those tinted balms because I just want to moisturize my lips before applying my lipsticks, and I love MATTE lipsticks!

I asked the reseller what's their best seller in their lip care line which is not tinted. She said it's either the Wild berry and the Peppermint. i chose the wild berry, because I love the berry scent of my baby lips lip balm and i want my next lip balm to smell like berry the way my previous balm smelled! It didnt disappoint me! I love how moisturizing and fruity it smells! I use it everyday and every night! Recommended! 

Dear Human Nature, all of your products smell so addicting!! Loooove everything! Someday, everything i use will be from your brand!  Hihi. 

Nail polish! 

Maybelline's Color Show Nail Polish in Bold Gold

I have confessed it in my previous blog that I dont really put much effort when it comes to my nails! I just clean it keep it short. But THIS! I'm inlooove!

I once saw Taylor Swift wearing a gold nail polish on one of her photoshoots in the magazines, and I've been looking for that perfect gold nail polish, thank you Maybelline for coming out with one! 

Trip to the dollar store! 

Jordana blushes in Rouge, Blushing Rose and Sandalwood.  

LA Girl Grafix Liquid Eyeliner. 

Every make up junkies should visit a dollar store!! A lot of thrift finds, I tell you! As of now, they carry SOME Jordana cosmetics for a dollar or 99Php only! The blushes are very much pigmented!! :D

Mac Class A Retractable Brush. 

New blushes need new retractable brush. That's one of the cons of the jordana blushes though. I'm always on-the-go and I dont want to bring many makeups or tools so I bought this retractable brush for only 120Php. I can use Class A brushes but not CLASS A make ups. I dont want to take risks when it comes to that but I'm tempted to try some of them sometimes. Hahaha. :P ;)

Goodnews: New wallet and a new necklace.

Badnews: I'm beginning to be a big spender! nooooo! 

Le Jean de Marithe Francois Girbaud Wallet

They were on sale for 75%off! I was planning to buy a gift for a friend and ended up buying one for myself too. Hahaha. This one's Gorg!! Right? So classy with its nude color and stuff! :D

Silver necklace with airplane pendant. 

I saw this from a classmate/friend's ig post and right then and then I wanted one! I'm a frustrated flight attendant and like, everyone i know, knows that too! 

Someday, I'll be in the plane not only as one of the craft's passenger but also as a cabin crew! I have promised that to myself and I shall keep it! I knowwww. Sooon! 😍 

Until next post!
