Hello guys!! Ok this has been a stressful day!! So here I am typing away this blog post to ease my frustrations. It was one of my countless dumb moments..tsk tsk. Ok.. moving on... I have always been a fan of affordable products even now that I can somehow afford trying high end products. I would always have that hesitation in mind. These are my top local products that I highly suggest to all of you!
FS Cosmetics 2 Way Foundation: I lost track of the pans I used up.. I have been using this for years now. I can't believe I found my perfect shade match in Chino. I always have a dilemma in choosing the right color of foundation either they make me look ghostly or muddy. Chino looks like my second skin. This foundation has a medium coverage which covers the redness and eye bags quite well even without a makeup base. It has a matte finish and lasts 3-4 hours on me sans retouching.

San San Matte Finish Liquid Foundation: This is one of the first product I bought after the tragedy last Christmas. I figured that I needed a liquid foundation that has a good coverage but will definitely not break the bank. This immediately popped in my head. For a whopping 100 pesos, this foundation has a superb coverage. It applies smoothly and evens out my skin tone perfectly. I hope San San would release more shades. No. 3 is a tad bit lighter on my skintone.

FS Eyelash Curler: This lash curler gives a good grip and is very sturdy. Mine lasts for years. I just replace the rubber pads. This has never cut my lashes and creates a gorgeous curl out out of my sparse lashes.
Charm Brushes: I am truly proud of Filipino made products and if there is one brand that deserves a spotlight even in international markets, it would definitely be Charm Brushes. This set is a gift from the lovely Sophie of Beautynomics when tragedy hit my family. I never expected this one from her. I also received a Charm Travel Pro Brush Set from the ever gorgeous Phoebe! These brushes never shed and bled ever. It also feels so gentle on my sensitive skin. What I love about Charm Brushes is the amount of effort Sophie puts into each brush/brush set in conceptualizing them from the packaging, brush holder down to its bristles.

Nichido Kohl Eyeliner: One of the most pigmented liners in the local market. This liner only costs 138 pesos. It glides on smoothly on my lids. It does not break easily when sharpened. I love using it for tightlining. More of my review here: http://www.mylucidintervals.com/2012/01/nichido-mineral-kohl-pencil-in-onyx.html
Nichido Lip Liner in Rosette: This is my ultimate life saver. I literally can't leave without this baby!! This is heaven sent to those with dark lip lines like me. This is one of the few makeup products that I discovered at the early stage of my makeup addiction. hihi I think I have been using one since college. I can skip the lipstick and I can go out using this alone because Rosette is quite close to my actual lip color. This also prevents my lipstick from bleeding. This is truly one of the unsung heroes in my makeup kit.
Nichido Mineral Concealer in Natural: When I saw that this was included in a promo makeup bundle of Nichido last few months ago, I immediately bought a back up out of fear that it would be phased out. This is my secret in achieving bigger eyes. I ran it around my lower lash line and it instantly make my eyes more awake.
Fashion 21 Double UP Mascara: Finally a local mascara that can live up to the hype!!! This lengthens my lashes and hold my curls for about 3-4 hours. I also love the fact that this is smudge proof. More of this mascara here:
San San Create Your Own Eyeshadow: Who does not love bargain finds???Would you believe that the above swatches are from eye shadows which only cost 50 pesos each. I love these two colors from CYO San San Eyeshadows a lot. Deep Earth Brown is a matte warm taupe that works well as a contour powder on the crease area and on the cheeks. Charcoal Brown looks like a perfect dupe of Pistol in the Naked Palette. I have been loving these shades for everyday wear. I highly recommend these two shades.
