If there is one product that I truly fell in love with in 2020, this has got be "it". With a price tag that will not break the bank, this mini eyeshadow palette a foolproof product that I highly recommend to everyone. I initially got two shades Sneaky and Shy and got two more shades. The packaging is made of plastic and looks flimsy. I dropped my shadow palette in Shy and the shimmer shade got pulverized; so, I purchased a new pallete. This palette is the shade Serene composed of pinks. The shimmer here has a nice pinkish peach hue. This contains a medium rose pink, light pinkish beige and a matte light peach.
This palette is the shade Sassy. It has nice light peach, a wearable warm red, light ivory matte, and a shimmery light pink.
Sneaky is a pretty everyday neutral with taupe, dark brown, and a medium brown. The shimmer shade here is a bronze color.
My favorite is the palette - Shy. This is a super pretty neutral palette. It has a nice light brown, a medium brown color, and a beautiful matte beige. The shimmer in this palette is super gorgeous. It was not captured on my photos but t is a champagne color with purplish pink glitter specks! If there is one shade that I recommend, buy this shade.
I love intensely pigmented shadows and these palettes are everything I hoped for. These palettes have buttery mattes and higly pigmented shimmers. The color selection is very pretty and are extremely wearable. These comes in six shades. I did not get the coral shades which consists mainly of peachy and orangey hues. These shadows are very blendable and applies best with the use of fingers. These blends so well on the lids even without a primer. These shadows are very long lasting and does not fade nor crease.
These do not have any fall out if applied with the use of fingers but when applied with the use of a brush, its a different story. When applied with a brush, the fall outs is quite terrible but for the price of 99 pesos, I can not complain. 😅
These sometimes go on sale for as low as 79 pesos!
What is your favorite eyeshadow palette?

For months, I have been searching for a transfer-proof lip product that I can use underneath a mask. After doing a bit of research, I bought the Peripera Ink the Tattoo. I got three shades King Pink, Enjoy Orange, and Sunny Red. I have high hopes on these tints and boy, they did not may fail my expectation. The Periper Ink The Tattoo are highly pigmented lip tints. These tints have a watery gel consistency and their pigmentation is one of the best I have tried. These have a subtle fruity scent. It applies evenly on the lips and does not settle on the lines and dry areas. These tints are truly budge proof. I have worn these on errands underneath a mask and it did not transfer at all. The color is really long lasting and the staining effect can last even after eating. What I really love about these tints is that they do not dry my lips! They feel moisturizing once applied and adheres comfortably on the lips. These tints can also be used as a lip base for lipsticks for a long lasting color. What I disliked about these tints? The shade range is very limited. This only comes in 5 colors
01 King Pink - bright fuschia pink
02 Infuse Coral - neon coral
03 Enjoy Orange - true orange
04 Sunny Red - reddish orange
05 Enriched Chili - brownish red
All these shades are bright except for the 05 Enriched which is a very warm brownish red. I really regret choosing 03 over 05. These shades are really bright esp. 01 and 03. The color sometimes look awkward on my yellow skintone; so, applying the right amount is key. These also remain true to color and do not change overtime. I have a bad experience with peripera tints before where they turn neon pink on my lips after hours of usage. I really hope they release more shades that are warmer. I am also checking their Ink Tattoo Stick which has more shades. Has anyone tried this?
I bought these on shoppee at singsing.ph store for 350 pesos each. What is your favorite lip tint?

K-Palette Philippines sent me with their newest K-Palette Procast The Eyeliner. This comes in four shades:
▪️Icy Black - intense black
▪️Chocolat Brown Black - neutral brown black
▪️Cocoa Brown - medium everyday brown
▪️Azuki - deep reddish brown
This newest eyeliner sets the benchmark for an eyeliner. It boasts of a 1:290 ratio where the tip has only one brush strand and the base is thick with 290 brush strands. With its it very fine tip, this eyeliner can precisely create the thinnest of lines and even bold flicks. This glides so smoothly without tugging. The pigmentation is top of the line. It is sweatproof, waterproof, and budgeproof too.
Staying power is awesome. This sets easily and stays put throughout the day without smudging. I love the shades cocoa brown and azuki a lot! The formula is watery and upon application, the finish of these liners has a slight sheen but dries to a semi matt finish. These liner did not irritate my sensitive eyes. This liner is priced at 895 pesos and is available online at beautyboxcorp shop and at beauty bar, rustan's, and sm/watsons stores.
Stay safe and stay gold 💖💜

For weeks, I have been contemplating on buying Detail Cosmetics Velvet Flush. Velvet Flush is a product collaboration of Detail Cosmetics and two Filipino Youtuber (Mae Layug and Rei Germar). I finally caved in and bought two shades that I really really like. Velvet Flush is a multiuse mousse cream product for the eyes, lip, and cheeks. This product is enriched with Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Avocado Oil. The product weighs 8 grams and is good for 12 months after opening. It costs 249 pesos each.
I got Lucas - a warm beige brown shade and Bo - a deep rosewood color. These two shades are really pretty and unique. I thought they look similar with 3CE Diotima and Cabbage Rose but these shades look different. This product is a cream blush with a very velvety texture. This feels so smooth when applied. It does not set easily set. It is very easy to use and the product felt like melting with the warmth of the fingers. It looks matte with a powdery finish when applied on the lips. This gives off a very natural flush of color on the cheeks. It can be applied on top of powder or underneath but I prefer it on top of powder. Staying power is really good. It lasts 3-4 hrs on my cheeks and even longer esp when properly set with powder. It also does not budge even when worn under a mask. On the lips , it feels like a lightweight matte lipstick and lasts 3 to 4 hours the most but fades easily after eating. This is not transfer proof. This really looks pretty when worn as an eyeshadow.
I highly recommend these two shades! I am really loving the recent product releases of Squad cosmetics and Detail cosmetics and I look forward for more #phbeauty products. 🥰 Swipe left to see swatches and shade comparison with 3ce Multipot Diotima and Cabbage Rose.

This pandemic has
changed our daily lives to a full 360 degrees turn. From the shift of our daily
lifestyle to employment crisis to mental health issues, the list just goes on
and on. And who would have thought that in such
a long list of issues related to this pandemic is the
newest skin care problem: maskne. It is acne developed through the usage of a mask over a long
period of time. I could not believe that I am also experiencing acne breakouts
at this age since the last time I experienced having pimples was more than two
decades ago. It is not only the use of masks
that has been causing our skin to break out. Acne is also directly related to
our health. It is the physical manifestation of hormonal changes in our body.
So what are the causes of acne during this pandemic?
1. Unhealthy lifestyle - Our once active
lifestyle has turned us into homebodies for months due to quarantine
restrictions. Suddenly, we had so much time in our hands that our daily habits
changed. We now enjoy long hours of watching netflix at home, some even became
chefs and bakers at home, and now most of us have a sedentary lifestyle because
of work from home orders. Eating unhealthy food and lack of exercise are also
causes of breakouts.
2. Stress - The thought of going out and catching
the dreaded COVID disease has been causing us a lot of stress. Stress causes
hormonal changes in our body which causes acne and it also affects our immune
system.
3. Prolonged mask usage - They say that
maskne is the new acne. Maskne is the result of clogged
pores, Wearing a mask can trap humidity due to breathing and sweating plus
the buildup of bacteria and oil can increase the chances of breaking out.
Despite seeing the light at the end of the
tunnel with the recent news of vaccination against COVID 19. Our lives will not
change anytime soon. Hence, breaking out will still be our number one skin care concern for
months.
So how do we address this
acne problem? Of course, having a good skincare habit is on top of the list but
as the saying goes, change comes from within. Diet change and shifting to a
more active and healthier lifestyle will help clear our skin. Boosting our
immune system is also the key. Aside from these time proven suggestions, taking
anti-acne drugs can
also help in achieving healthier skin. I am happy to share about a recent
discovery - Lactezin by Unilab. Lactezin is the first
over-the-counter drug registered anti-acne treatment in the Philippines.
It uses a natural antibacterial active ingredient called Lactoferrin
combined with Vitamin E and Zinc to help lessen pimples and give clear skin in
as early as 2 weeks.
Lactezin combines
three powerful ingredients: Lactoferrin, Zinc, and Vitamin E.
●
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein that has
antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It also enhances the immune
system.
●
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radical skin
damage. It also regulates collagen and helps prevent skin dryness
●
Zinc is an essential
mineral that boosts and enhances the immune system. It has anti-inflammatory
effects and helps heal and rejuvenate skin.
So why do we need to take anti-acne medicine? In
this challenging times, all of us can definitely say that health it wealth. anti-acne
medicine/drug like Lactezin not only helps in improving the appearance of our
skin but works wonders within. Lactezin offers dual function as it not only
boost the skin but helps in one’s overall health.
The main ingredients of Lactezin helps in warding
off sickness and viruses. Vitamin E is known for unlocking the immune systems’
ability to generate more T cells needed to fight disease. Vitamin C is also an
impressive immunity-booster as it helps encourage the production of white blood
cells that help protect the body against infection. Zinc is a mineral helps
regulate the activity of cells involved in immune function. Lastly, Lactoferrin
is also used as an antioxidant and to protect the body against viral and
bacterial infections.
One capsule costs 27 pesos and the recommended
dosage is two caps for daily intake. My sister who has been taking Lactezin for over
a week now. Here is her before and after photos. Can you see the immediate
results?
