Just a quick post to share with you my excitement over these goodies!! I cannot wait to get my Revlon Lip Butters!! The pictures are from my aunt. Another great news is that these lip butters are now available at our local department store priced at around 500 plus pesos!! yay! A bit pricey don't you think? But with all the raves out there for this lip butters, I think they are worth it! I wonder when will this foundation be available locally? |

Lastly, the 32 Count Super Professional Studio Brush Set from Amazon.com. This picture is taken from amazon's site. Thanks to my super generous and coll aunt for these. I know she was really concerned about me when my lolo passed away so she was so nice to send me these. The brushes are still on transit. I can't wait.
Godbless everyone!!
What are you excited about lately? | |

Hello everyone!! How was your weekend? I hope you had a wonderful time with your family and loved ones and celebrated Sunday with God. I received an email from Ms. Dia weeks ago about these Myra E goodies. I was busy with my grandfather at the hospital and was not able to meet her personally (I asked our driver to pick up these goodies instead). Thank you again Ms. Dia. When our driver handed me the paper bag, I was thrilled to receive a lot of Myra Vita Glow Moisturizer!! I will be sharing these to my Philippine readers!! :)) I have tried this Myra Vita Glow tinted moisturizer a year ago (I think) but I was not able to do a review about it (I do not know why). |
|
This is a very affordable tinted moisturzer. It only costs 135 pesos per tube. It is vitamin E enriched. It has SPF 15 too. It has minerals mainly referring to the tiny shimmers which gives you that glow but I am not a fan of these shimmers. The best thing about it is that it is hypo-allergenic and dermatologist tested. For me, it is now my everyday makeup base. It feels so light on my skin. It does a good job of giving my skin an even finish. The coverage is sheer to light. Thus, do not exepect this to cover your dark circles, sun spots and stubborn blemishes. The consistency and texture is nice. It can be a bit runny but it blends well on my skin. |
|
There are only two shades which is Ivory and Beige. |
|
|
|
Ivory is perfect for yellow toned girls while Beige is perfect for those with darker tones.
|
Ivory/Beige |
|
|
The first shade I tried was Beige but I find that it a bit dark on my skin. I can actually use Ivory or Beige but I prefer Ivory. As you can see in this picture, the moisturizer changes its color after blending. Here is a quick tip: To know your shade, take a teeny weeny drop and blend it on your jawline then wait for a few seconds for it to dry. You will see that the shade will show better after the moisturizer have already dried on your skin.

Here is the proof. |

What I love about this tinted moisturizer:
- Very affordable. It only costs 135 pesos for 35ml tube.
- It is perfect for everyday wear. I am not a fan of heavy foundations for everyday wear. You must let your skin breathe (as for me, that is a MUST). I use this as my everyday makeup base.
- It has SPF 15. :))
- It evens out my skin tone. I apply this in a tapping motion since I discovered that I get more coverage when I apply it that way.
- It does not feel sticky on the skin. Perfect for our humid weather.
- I did not experience any rashes or break out using this product.
What I do not like about it:
- It has tiny shimmers. I am just not a fan of shimmers!
- Staying power is not that good. By mid day, my skin looks washed out.
- It has only two shades. I know a lot will have a hard time choosing their shade. As for me, I can wear beige or ivory. I prefer to use Ivory since it brightens my face more.
Here is my bare face. I just got out from the shower. I know you miss my fat face flashing on your screen. haha

Thumbs up for no rashes attack on this picture. haha |
|
I applied two layers of tinted moisturizer. Look at how it even out my skin tone. It does not cover my dark circles at all. Thank heavens for concealers. :)) I know my face looks lighter than my neck. After a few minutes, the shade will blend perfectly on my skin. |
|
A closer look on the shimmers. I am not a fan but it somehow made my skin look naturally glowing. |
I am giving away 6 boxes of this moisturizer. Three winners will be picked and each will get two boxes of Myra Vita Glow Tinted Facial Moisturizer in Ivory and Beige. Because I love local and affordable makeup, just answer this question:
What local makeup product or affordable drugstore makeup are you loving/raving right now and why?
Winners will be chosen by yours truly!! :))
Winners will be announce on January 19, 2012 on my FB Page.

Godbless everyone!!
Have a wonderful day ahead.

I finally got the chance to do this post. I was supposed to do a lot of reviews (to keep myslef busy.. so as not to remember my beloved lolo) but the pictures were saved on my old hard drive (that all of a sudden crashed last Monday). Hence, I need to take new shots again! Tsk! Anyways, here are the goodies I will be giving to my lucky reader. From now on, I will do this Reader of the Mnth segment. I will be giving away stuff given by comapanies (if there will be sponsored posts.. ) and if there are no sponsored products, I will be giving away products that I am loving for that month. What do you think of that? This is my simple way of saying thank you to all my readers. I am very vocal that I am not a good writer (ala editor in chief of a magazine style) but still many still visit my blog. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. | |

Happy New Year everyone!! I will be explaining why am I MIA for days at the end of this post. This is my first post for 2012. Whoa!!! I told you before that I am going crazy over neutral eyeshadows. The fact that weeks from now, I will finally get a job prompted me to buy a more travel friendly palette that will not hurt my budget. ELF saves the day. I have been seeing a lot of palettes being sold at ELF stands. This warm palette caught my attention. | |
|
|
When I asked the SA to open the palette so I could see a better view of the shades included, I was really amazed with the shade selection. You get matte and shimmery shades all in one. There is a mixture of pinks, berries, taupes, browns, highlighters and dark shades perfect for smokey eyes!!! I absolutely love it! The pigmentation is awesome too especially the shimmery ones.
|
It comes with a mirror and a brush applicator. The packaging is very flimsy though. |
Here is a closer look at the shades:
|
The shimmery ones have very nice and creamy texture. Some matte eyeshadows are very powdery and the color hardly come off when you swatch them. So, you have to double your effort building up the shade. |
Here are the swatches of this palette:
(These are bare swatches; I did not put any primer.)
|
This part is the highlighters and lighter shades. |
|
Brown shades |
|
Pinks and berries |
|
Dark shades which are perfect for smokey eyes. | | |
|
|
|
Over all, this palette is really good!! I really love it and this is better than my 28 neutral palette!! The shades are perfect for everyday wear and also for night outs. This costs only 399 pesos or 5 dollars at ELF website.
Why am I mia for the past days? My grandfather died last Dec. 27, an hour after I finished blogging about my Cream of the Crop post. I still can't believe he is gone. This is my worst fear. I love him so much because I grew up with him. He actually has more pictures in my cellphone and camera than my dad and mom combined. I am tryong my best to carry on with life without him.
Ours for a moment, God's forever. I will miss you lolo. You know how much I love you. :c
Godbless everyone
I will be doing my giveaway post and reader of the month segment soon.
