One of the best things about gel eyeliners is that you can use any brush you want with them. Either use the obvious brush -the liner brush, or the angled liner brush (which I personally use), lip brush for thicker application (avant garde), etc. These gel liners truly are versatile.

I discovered a new lippie today that gives a retro look. Pale pink lipsticks can still be worn this fall because they give your skin warmth. Pale lipsticks with this kind of shade make the skin appear tanner than they actually are!

One of the reasons why some women don't like using toner it's because they would say it stung and it made their skin feel so dry and tight. With Avon's Anew Vitale Toner, you can now tone without the sting!

I first discovered BRTC when I was searching for Korean skin care online about 2 years ago. That's when I came across BRTC, and have been hooked on their skin care ever since. A Korean brand that is available only online here in Metro Manila, but is all over Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea and Japan.
I'm thrilled to tell you about BRTC's Pore Tightening System: Closes large pores, controls sebum, and moisturizes skin for an overall healthy glow! Not to mention, erases wrinkles and firms the skin for instant lifting!

Last September 7, renowned Japanese brand K-Palette launches the Mega Cute. A double lid eye makeup solution for Asian women who have monolids. Mega Cute is the D.I.Y. Double Eyelid!

Removing eye makeup is a pill. Specially when you come home from a drunken night and just want to sleep. Ewww, but sleeping with all the gook on your eyes, lips, and face can do more harm than good! I make it a point that I completely remove my makeup at night no matter what time I get home, and that's why H2O+ has become my new best friend.

Ok, the monolid. Enough said. A lot of Asian women have monolids and though I say it's the easiest to put makeup on, these women who have them say otherwise. I have purchased countless eyelid stickers for different clients in the past and they just don't work. I always resulted to contouring and smokey eyes.

A couple of weeks ago, I received Lancome's latest eye cream, the Visionnaire Yeux. I took photos of it and waited two weeks until I posted it because I wanted to write a good review on it. Actually, it would have been better if I used it for a month but I was too excited!

When I was shooting a Korean indie film which wrapped up just last month, I was working with non-main stream actress Jee Sun Than (Photographed at the left). What she lacks in English communication skills, she makes up for kindness and beautiful PERFECT skin. (Photo courtesy of Jee Sun Than)
As we were nearing the end of our 2 month shoot together, I finally had the courage to ask her what skin care she was using. Her skin was like baby skin: PORELESS and Blemish Free. Korean women, she said, love skin care. But the one thing they really spend on is: FACIAL MASKS.

Just when you thought the BB cream was out, and CC cream is in -I come across this Magic Science BB Cream, allegedly claimed "revolutionary" by The Skin Shop's counter beauty associate. I'm a little bit sad that I was talked into buying something I don't really need, from a brand I have never really hear of before.
I have to admit that I am still stuck in the BB Cream era. I think it's one of the best cosmetic products ever invented specially for lazy gals like me. This blemish balm that has sunblock, moisturizer, foundation, and blemish corrector all in one product? AMAZING.

I have been obsessing about Revlon's SkinLights ever since they discontinued it years ago. I have been dying to look for an alternative because I haven't found the perfect one! (I really just wish Revlon would just give in and bring SkinLights back!)
I have heard about Benefit's Beam Line (High Beam, Sun Beam and Moon Beam) but I don't quite like the shade they come in. I went to Benefit last week because I had to buy something from my friend when I came across "Girl Meets Pearl".

Have you guys seen the Revlon Color Stay Ultimate Suede Lipstick Ad with Olivia Wilde? I love her lippie! That is the perfect shade that I want to sport this Fall!

Every girl has their "lazy days", when even women who can't live without makeup get lazy to even put on lipstick. What more spending extra minutes on applying a good makeup base? I am one of those women. I experience "tamaditis" on some days specially when PMS-ing (eeek! Sorry boys if you are reading this).
So when those days hit me, I turn to trusty old foundation powders that give me good coverage and I am out the door!

Long before Physiogel made it big in the market, I was already using Physiogel on myself and my clients. I was prescribed by my derma to use Physiogel's Intense Cream for my rough, dry spots all over my face and voila! They were gone in under a week!

Shimmer bricks or multi-colored blushes in one pan are what's in right now. I love that the different shades of blushes in one pan can morph into one beautiful universal shade that can be used by both cool and warm skin toned women!

Whenever it's that day I come home to a BDJBox package waiting for me, it's always a good day! This month is extra special because not only is this month's box hard to get hands on, I am one of the lucky ones who get one! (Jumps for joy)
I love lip gloss. I can literally shop for gloss the whole day til I drop. The question is, if I want to. I already feel so guilty about owning too much gloss, and still here I am totally smitten by Lancome's Gloss in Love collection.
