I highly recommend the Black Cherry Tinted Balm. It gives off a nice gloss on the lips but not over the top shine with a hint of color. It looks so natural on the lips without the over top glossiness. I prefer lining my lip line first and finishing off with this balm. This has got to be my May go-to product.
I am not fond of the tangerine scent but I always kept this balm in my purse. I also brought this on my short trip to the beach because of the SPF 15. The downside of this lipbalm is that it creates a white tint on the lips. I was unaware of this.The first time I used it with three to four swipes and I looked sick when I saw myself in the mirror. Waahh!! Remember that one to two swipes of this balm is enough. More than that, you will end up looking anemic.
You can find Hurraw! Lip Balms at http://cutieverse.com/
Overall, I like Hurraw balms because there are no harmful ingredients in them. It is purely organic and a certified vegan product. I highly recommend the black cherry tinted balm to my readers. It is one of the best tinted lip balm I have tried because the finish looks very natural on my lips.
Have a blessed day everyone!

Early this summer, Virginia Olsen invited Beauty Bloggers to their 2013 Summer/Spring Collection Launch. Their office is just a few floors from my office and i was so giddy to visit them. I have not heard about them for months now until I saw their newest brush set. I was very curious about their sculpting brush. The only brush I saw that has a similar form with it was from NARS which Dulce Candy used in contouring her face. Their newest brushe set is definitely a winner! They added five new brushes to their collection which are: Angled Eye Contour Brush, SHort Shader Brush, Sculpting Brush, Precision Pencil Brush and a Flat Top Brush.
Another shot to show you how soft the bristles look like. The bristles are very gentle even on actual use. |
Another item I got was their Short SHader brush. I have not yet use this brush since I have not been applying eyeshadow that much. This brush costs 300 pesos. |
My most favorite amongst the three shades is midnight glam. |
Here are the swatches without primer. I also met new bloggers during the event!! |
Have you heard about Virginia Olsen? Also, they will be holding a japanese makeup workshop! See poster below for info. Click here to learn more of their products: https://www.facebook.com/VirginiaOlsenMinerals?fref=ts Do not forget to MLI's makeup contest http://www. Have a blessed day everyone! |

Next thing I got was this Shimmer Shades in the shade Blushalicious which costs 349 pesos. This is just what I needed because I felt that I need more variety for blushes because I have using my MAC Melba almost everyday. I got 4 shades of blushes for the price of one! Ain't that great? More on these products soon! I will be reviewing the Essence brow gel next week just as you requested. :) Collection Cosmetics is a brand from the UK. Click here to visit their online website: http://www.collectioncosmetics.co.uk/face/blusher/shimmer-shades.aspx Here are some of the photos I took of the Collection Cosmetics Stand: |
I should have bought their Lip stain!! I read a good review about it a while back. What product would you like me to review first? Do not forget to MLI's makeup contest http://www. |

I got to excited to post the GIveaway and Contest that I forgot to show you the third batch of prizes for the giveaway. I was honestly expecting 5 brands but the two brands have not yet responded to if they have shipped the prizes. I can not wait for another week to hold the giveaway out of sheer excitement. So I decided to push through last night. I got these from Beauty and Minerals and Charm Brushes. I was very thrilled when Sophie gave me these goodies to share with you. Charm Brushes got the best brushes locally available. I am not saying this because Sophie is a dear friend but it is the truth. The amount of effort she puts in every detail of the brushes she sells is priceless. You can check out my review of the 14 Pc. Vegan Brush Set here: http://www.mylucidintervals.com/2013/02/charm-pretty-in-pink-14-pc-vegan-brush.html I know I am now sounding like a biased advertiser but this is the truth! hahaha Go ahead and invest with your makeup tools. DO not be fooled by cheap and affordable brush sets that may feel soft when tried at the back of your hand but pricks your face on actual use. |
Just when I thought that I will not buy brushes for the next years to come. Here is what the grand prize winners of the giveaway and the makeup contest will take home!! Ahhh This is the cutest and lightest makeup brush set I have seen! It can fit perfectly in your purse! I want one na!! waahh DO not worry I did not open the and touch the brushes for sanitary reasons. Thanks Charm Brushes for this awesome goodies! You can check out https://www.facebook.com/CharmMakeupBrush?fref=ts and their online store http://www.beautyandminerals.com/ |
I grew up seeing Jergen Lotion on my mom's cabinet. When I am experiencing dry and flaky skin due to psoriasis, my mother would always get me a huge bottle of their ultra healing variant. They sent 5 gift packs and sent me products to review!! Thank you so much Jergens. You can find Jergens at leading supermarket, malls and even drugstores locally. Their products are very affordable too! Check out and like: https://www.facebook.com/JERGENSph.Vibelle?fref=ts |
Lastly, my HBC family sent these. HBC has been a sponsor of my blog ever since. I always pride myself in being a part of their blogger circle because they offer affordable and proudly Filipino made products!!! Thank you HBC! You can check HBC here: https://www.facebook.com/myHBC?fref=ts |
Have a blessed day everyone!

Back when I was in lawschool, cleaning my brushes was such a breeze. I would usually do it once a week. Now, with a full time job, cleaning my brushes became a hassle and a burden. I even thought our maid how to clean my brushes. I am not very particular with the product I used to clean my brushes. Often, I use laundry bar, dishwashing fluid, shampoo or even body wash. I prefer using a laundry bar because it incredibly gets all the gunk and oiliness from my brushes and it removes all the stains.
This is my very first time to use a product specifically designed to clean the brushes. The product came in a clear liquid gel form. It has a faint scent that I cannot describe accurately because I am plagued with colds. I intently read the directions and followed it.
