Bourjois: Healthy mix serum foundation

Hola!!!
   Bourjois Healthy mix serum foundation review here!!! hehe I am in the shade 53 and this is actually a perfect match for my skin!! wehhee!! It's actually pretty hard to find the right shade when shopping at the drugstore because its either they don't have samples or the lighting can be misleading. But yea! It's all good!! since I got the right shade~

    I actually really like this foundation because it really fits my skin type. I have oily combination skin. This foundation is quite light weight on the skin so my skin doesn't really feel caked up. It last quite a long time on my skin despite the really hot weather. I also love the scent of this foundation! It's kinda fruity? but yea ! here are swatches and how the packaging looks like

 I like the packaging because it isn't bulky and funky shaped.. haha also I like how there is a pump because it doesn't get infected with germs also it is neat when the product is used. Especially products without the pump you can either pour out too much or pour it / spill it somewhere where make up shouldn't be... like your carpet.....

haha

 This is how the product looks when not blended~ 

Left side: no foundation

Right side: thin layer of foundation blended

I would say the foundation has a medium coverage. As you can see the left side the veins are clearly seen. But on the right side you can barely see the veins~ The staying power is pretty good. The package claims in stay for 16 hours but for my skin it stayed for around 10 hours. The finish of this foundation is satin~ itsn't too matte or too glossy~~ That is still pretty good for me~~ 

So Yeah!!! end of post! hope you guys enjoyed this !! 

any questions? Don't hesitate to ask :)

L'Oreal: infallible 021 sahara treasure

Hello! 
A beautiful golden colour by L'Oreal.  It is one of their Infalliable eyeshadow in 021 Sahara Treasure. I've actually purchased this product a while back but didn't really know how to use it. I tried using a flat shader brush or even my finger but it didn't apply the way I wanted it to. One day I just picked up a fluffy blending brush and it worked beautifully. I use this colour as a all over lid colour or an accent colour. Simply beautiful! I can't believe me it too this long for me to love this product.

Here is how the packaging looks like as well as a swatch ~ 

It is a very nice golden colour. It isn't actually like gold.. gold but like a rusty gold colour~

July & August MAC Eye shadow favorites

Here are swatches from my July & August MAC eyeshadows also how the empty quad looks like.

This was how my quad looked like majority of July and August. I love this quad because I can pick different colours for different looks. Since I travel alot I can't bring all my make up so I try to bring minimal items. Two top colours are Brule and Honey lust and the bottom two colours are wedge and espresso. With these colours I can do a full matte look or just the honey lust to bling up the look.

Here are the swatches. I used the fingers to swatch it. All colours besides Honey lust are really easy to work with. However, honey lust which is a luster finish has alot of fall out and the brush is not able to pick up a lot of the product. So when a brush is used the sparkles apply very sparsely on the lids. So how I apply the honey lust eyeshadow is either I used a sponge tip applicator or my fingers and just pat the colour where I want it to be. 

Weeehee~~ 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post. Maybe I'll take pictures on how the look I created looks like.

Clio: gelpresso pencil gell liner mini

Hi Everyone!!
Here are swatches of the Clio - gelpresso pencil gell liner mini! and a bit of what I think about it

Here is the how the packaging looks inside and outside. I really like the packaging because it's really compact. Perfect for traveling. Also there are 5 different colours so you can experiment with different colours and see what colour compliments your eye colour. Not only can you experiment with one colour, you can use different combinations of the colours and make different looks.

Now for the swatches of the eyeliners. 

Left to right the colours are

1) pink pearl colour

2) Olive colour

3) Purple colour

4) Bronze/Brown colour

5) Black colour

Thees eyeliners are quite pigmented also they contain some glitter. Not all of the colours contains glitter but there are also some metallic shades. The glitters from the eyeliner doesn't really show up when you draw it on. This can be a good or bad thing depending on you. If you like glittery eyeliner or liners without glitters. The eyeliner is abit hard when you draw it on your eyes but for it its not that bad that I feel like it's tugging the skin on my eyes. The lasting power of this liner is average. It does smudge easily which is a plus for me because a lot of eyeliners smudge easily on my eyes and I end up with panda eyes.

I'm not sure where eyes this eyeliner is available but I got it in a Olive Young store which is in Korea.

Hope this post was useful!! :)

Sally Hansen: Salon effects nail polish strips

Hello!!!
I actually promised to posted everyday or at least 4 times a week... As you can see this is a total fail... But I will try!! I will post as much as I can!!! hehehe

Today's post is about the Sally Hansen's Salon effects nail polish strip. I love this product!! because it's so easy to use! I am someone who really can not wait for nail polish to perfectly dry. I always chip, scratch.. just mess up my nail polish before it dries. Ofcourse it is super SUPER annoying every time this happens. thennnnnn... I came across the Sally Hansen polish strip and I fell in love!!! It is so easy to apply and no need to wait for it to dry also it seems to last longer on my nails than normal nail vanish. Although it's easy to use it is really pricey, I only get two uses from each pack but with the same price I can get a whole lot of product from normal nail polish. Also, I wish it had more variety of colours, that's the only few things that I didn't like about the product.

Here are some photos of the Sally Hansen Salon effect.

 250 Bling it on

 280 Blue ice

I only got to try the glittery ones because I wasn't really a big fan of the pattern ones available. Oh! BTW I got this from PCX in the Philippines.

and here is the mess that I've made while doing this .... hehehe.... I'm kinda messy... 

And this is the end of the post!!! Hope you guys enjoyed and stay tuned because there is more coming!! I promise!

London day trip

Ayyyy!!! I thought I posted this already but it was just sitting on my draft thinggy... LOL it's late but it's here~~~~ Enjoy :) 

A great onni of mine invited me to go to London with her to watch an Opera and ofcourse I couldn't say no! The train ride to London was just so aahhhhhh so exciting !! Because I've been to London twice but it was just going back and fort to the Airport. That was it... So going to London and actually looking around was so so so super thrilling! I also took some tourist pictures for the SECOND TIME! I've travel to different places but I think this is the second time I took a picture in front of a place "tourist style" :) 

So when we got there we went to whole foods to grab some lunch had some Mexican food and I discovered Vita coco which is a packaged 100% pure coconut water. I was quite glad to see the drink because I've been craving some coconut water~ But kinda disappoint but at the same time happy to see it. I was disappointed because it didn't taste exactly like the fresh coconut water like in the Philippines. I was happy because it had the coconut taste but it just didn't taste fresh... Despite me not really loving it but I bought like 2 litters of it... kinda crazy!! haha I was carrying it around the whole time I was in London... hahaha!!! 

Lunch was over and and it was time for the opera!!! We went to Royal Albert Hall. A beautiful place~ It was my first opera and I love classical music and musicals so I was super excited to watch the opera!~~  We watched "Aida"~ I didn't know anything about the story line so I was excited to see what the Opera was about. I was a love story and I loved it. The performance was beautiful and the cast was amazing!!! I was surprised with the stage~~ woohoo Just wonderful :) 

All the cast members

Infront of the Royal Albert Hall

When the Opera was done we walked around and went shopping!!! We went to the Harrods shopping centre and it was phenomenal! I wasn't able to go up to the different floors but The ground floor was still jaw dropping! hahaha I wasn't able to buy much stuff but I got 3 nail vanishes from Chanel 

The colours are Gold finger from the Vagas collects, Rose insolent from I'm not sure.. Probably part of the original collects and the last one is June from the Spring collects. I love theses colours. You can mix and match some colours and it beautiful. Maybe I'll do another review and how I paint my nails post. So keep posted from that! ~ I also bought a perfume which smelled lovely. The packaging is also so beautiful. It's by Caroline Hererra my first perfume by this Brand. 

Wow this is actually becoming a really long post... hahaha but I've done so much this day!! wehehee

anyways, last part of the trip was eating dinner in "Le Pain" a little organic cafe. We weren't That hungry so we just had a small meal~ I had a panini like thing.. I forgot the names... but it was basically bread toped with some beef, tomato, cheese and some other small things as well as some pumpkin soup. I wasn't sure if I liked the pumpkin soup because I prefer pumpkin soup which is cream based. and my friend ordered a chicken salad which was delicious!! hahaha 

End of delicious meal and thus, the end of my trip and time to go home. We hopped on the last train and bye bye London.
