If you are anything like me, I love lip gloss (and lipsticks, and eyeshadows, and... Ok, I love all makeup). But one thing I can't live without is lipgloss. I specially love the "I just ate something really oily" kind of gloss.

Lancome has been one of my favorite brands that carry really nice lip gloss. Remember Juicy Tubes? Oh gosh, they are the best!

Last Spring, Lancome came out with another collection: Lancome In Love. I love how dainty the colors are from the collection!

I have never been the eyebag kinda girl until recently when I have been sleeping late the past few weeks. (In-denial me says: They grew puffy overnight, I swear!) My cousin's visit to Manila bringing me goodies from Shiseido was just perfect timing!


Since this was a gift (my cousin gave me 2 packs), I can't give you the price here in Manila. But in the US, they cost around $62 (more or less PhP2,600) for a box of 12 applications.

I have always been in love with red lipstick. I think it is the single color in the lipstick world that can dress up any outfit even if you are naked.

I recently received a lipstick from Avon (way before the launch of their new makeup line). I have had the lipstick ready in my "to be reviewed" drawer and I finally got  to it.

The time has come that classic cosmetics tools such as the eyelash curler and the eyebrow shaver is being replaced with ones with batteries! Although heated lash curlers have been around for quite sometime, and I'm not even sure about electric brow shavers, but hey, they're here! And available from local brand Nichido, nonetheless!

When I started doing makeup as a full time profession in 2004, there was only 1 choice for eyelash adhesive back then. Through the years I have searched high and low for other alternatives: From Aido to LashGrip to generic Japanese glues -it was a treasure hunt!

My friend gave me a whole bunch of Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm testers because she knows I am addicted to them. Well, with a .10oz tester tube, I can literally finish 1 tube a week. That is, if I apply it every night.

I am not much of a mascara person, but I am always in search for the perfect one. Ever since I started doing makeup 9 years ago, Maybelline was my mascara of choice, and then through the years I have tried others from high-end to drugstore. Up to this day, I continue my search for the best and yet affordable mascara since mascaras have a very short shelf life.

Hey ladies! I'm back with another series of Splurge vs. Steal! Sorry it took me a while to post a new one... I had to compile, use, assess and test each product! But anyway, I finally did it and I am here to share with you my latest "discoveries"!

I can't emphasize this more: When I do the Splurge vs. Steal series, I do not indicate which is the better product or which is superior. This is for those who would like to get same results for a lower price tag.

1. BENEFIT Porefessional (P1,600) vs. MAYBELLINE Pore Eraser (P229)

I'm not much of a pore eraser kind of girl but when I tried Benefit's Porefessional, I was impressed! I never put on makeup without it now. My first tube was about to run out and I wanted to look for an alternative so that I can compare the two. I have tried 3 other pore refining products that you can use before makeup but only one stood out, and that was Maybelline's Pore Eraser.

Send it right over!

So, here's how my Friday night went down. I spent the late afternoon sitting on a comfortable lounge chair having a deluxe mani pedi at Belle & Cat's Nail and Wax Studio in Legaspi Village. Call me "grandma", but I would totally trade in a smokey and bottles of beer for some pampering!

One of the most asked questions I receive is "What product can I apply on my lids to make my eyeshadow last the whole day?"

Do you have the same makeup dilemma with your eyeshadow? There are a whole bunch of eyeshadow primers out there but only a handful have made the cut. Products I use the most when I am doing makeup at weddings (where making makeup last is a MUST) are Too Faced Shadow Insurance (which just works wonders), and MAC paint in Bare Canvas or Painterly -which again are not easy to come by in the Metro!

But I wanted to try something new, more affordable, and readily available. That's when I came across LA Girl's Pro Primer.

I have met so many women in the past (and I know they won't be the last) who would love to cover flaws and look flawless without the fuss of having to put too much makeup! Their fear of not knowing anything about makeup stops them from reaching out for that gorgeous lipstick at the makeup counter afraid that they will not look like themselves.

My friends, I have found the perfect makeup solution for you! Introducing, Perricone MD's No Concealer Concealer!

The best thing about nail polish that chip is that you have the excuse to finally change the color! Yay! This flirty shade may be worn either during the summer or for fall. I like that it's so versatile you can wear it no matter what season! Don't you just love those? Seems you'll be getting so much out of your money!

Despite Clinique being one of the most hypoallergenic company there is in the world of cosmetics today, my skin can never seem to respond to Clinique products. For some reason, my skin flakes and dries, and so for years I avoided Clinique thinking we were just not M.F.E.O. -My skin is picky and weird that way! Ugh.

Until recently... Clinique has reformulated their "Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion", taking them more than 6 years to revamp, and has now come up with the NEW and improved formula: Lotion + (plus)!

#skincare #whitening

A couple of months back, I was invited to the launch of Elizabeth Arden's Visible Whitening Line and I was just tickled pink! In spite of the fact I already have fair skin, I am addicted to whitening products, specially skin care.

Luxury whitening products don't make your skin stark white for the sake of making your whole face white making it look like you're wearing a kabuki mask, but instead, they target areas of your skin that produce too much melanin then balances your skin out. The results are flawless, bright, and natural.

So, having your nails done is a one sure fire way of getting rid of BVs after a long hard day. I am always on the look out for great nail salons (not to mention, value for money places), and I haven't been to a new nail salon in a while since I always have my nails done at Bench\Fix. They're cheap, and their polishing techniques make the color last for a while for some reason.
