Product Review: Clio Kill Cover Pro Artist Liquid Concealer in 3-BY Linen (New Packaging)

Friday, May 31, 2019

     "Look into my eyes and tell me what it is you see in me (Would you look into my eyes?). Look into my eyes and tell me what it is you see in me (Could you tell me what you see?)" If you're a fan of Bone-Thugs-and-Harmony, prolly you know this song. Well, our topic for today is all about the eyes. If you look into my eyes these days, you will see dark circles (eyebags). I've been sleeping for 4-5 hours a day and there are wake ups in between.

     I'm sleep deprived and stressed lately. If you follow me on my social media accounts, you'll see my updates that I'm in the hospital, the dialysis center, or emergency room because of my father's condition. If bags and dark circles start to show in my eyes, I always reach out for eye mask and concealer. The latter is one of the best sleepless nights saviors and the brand that I've been using for more than a year now is from Club Clio- Clio Kill Cover Liquid Concealer.

Celeteque DermoCosmetics Launch #2XBeautiful

Monday, November 16, 2015

     Hi dearies! I want to ask something, are you the type who will buy cosmetics because of the price? or because it's multipurpose? I presume you will answer both, but of course we also need to consider the price if we want something that is 2-in-1. Today's modern woman is always armed with two things: can be class and sophisticated at the same time, can be smart and sensible, and have the right choices in life because taking care of herself is the most important thing, do you agree?

      Gone are the days that we only settle for one thing or wants to achieve one goal. If we can do both or achieve twice, why not right? So when it comes to taking good care of our self, we want it 2X! Look good and feel good :) That's why Céleteque Dermo, the trusted brand for cutting-edge skincare technology launched a new set of products that's a total breakthrough. Now, the brand is taking it up a notch higher with another pioneering Dermo breakthrough with its new makeup line that fuses cosmetics with skincare: Céleteque DermoCosmetics.

Pink Sugar Cosmetics Grand Launch + Swatchfest

Saturday, November 14, 2015

     Hi dearies! I feel very privileged and honored to be invited to one of the sweetest event of the year. I'm definitely sure you've already seen top beauty bloggers raving the newest baby in town. Yes, this makeup brand is taking the beauty blogging community by storm because aside from the quality of their products, the price is budget-friendly and proudly Philippine made!

     I was invited to the grand launch of Pink Sugar Cosmetics last October that was held at Stella Woodfire Bistro in BGC. It was an afternoon of fun and playtime as we swatched all their makeup products including the uber pigmented lipsticks, dual-end eyeliners, lip and cheek tints, day to night eye shadow palettes and HD blushes to name a few. See event highlights and other information about the makeup line below :)

I was thinking of international brands but of course I will not compare because I know that Pink Sugar Cosmetics is a Filipino brand that's proud of its own. The first product that caught my attention were the lipsticks! There were 24 shades in  display calling my name to swatch them on by one! So without further ado, here are the products that I'm sure will make you go to the nearest Pink Sugar Cosmetics counter after seeing their beauty now!

Product Review: Milea Mineral Makeup Propolis Concealer

Sunday, December 29, 2013

     Concealers, one of the best I've been breaking out day savior! Almost all of the women I know had their share of breakouts, big or small. It can make or break your day if you don't know to hide them. To conceal stubborn pimples, one needs a heavy duty concealer that will erase or hide them instantly. But what about concealers that have added skin benefits? Like healing and concealing nasty zits at the same time, genius eh?! I think everyone would love to conceal and heal their pimples using a single product, right? In my quest of finding the right skin care and makeup products, healing concealers are among the last thing that I would consider buying because some of them contain ingredients that I'm allergic two. I also can't find the right brand aside from high-end ones. So to cut the story short, this kind of makeup sans skin care falls below the list of my must-haves not until Ms. Edilee of Milea Natural Beauty sent me their Propolis Concealer. I was very intrigued with the concealer and having second thoughts on my mind since this is the first organic concealer that I have to date. But this doubt was immediately erased on my mind because the first organic soaps that I love until now came from Milea. So there's an assurance that the product will work for me like that of my first love organic soaps and their lemongrass toner that I keep or purchasing one after the other.

     So enough of the blabber, here it is my honest to goodness review of Milea Propolis Concealer after using the product for almost three months now. I can attest to the positive effects of this product alone in gradually diminishing those minor pimples from breakouts and those starting to pop out. Click CONTINUE READING for details.

Product Review: Nichido Minerals Spot Concealer

Saturday, March 09, 2013

     It's weekend, any plans for today? My apologies for not posting lately, our internet connection is acting up and it's really weird because the internet service provider said that the line is okay. Anyhoo, I mentioned in my previous post that I'm currently testing new products and so far I'm loving them. The first one is Eskinol and this one that I'm going to review is becoming another favorite too.  Aside from the main use of this product as spot concealer, I also use this to brighten my eyes by lining my waterlines. I feel naked whenever I live the house if I didn't apply this. I only sleep for an average of 4-5 hours a day, my eyes always look tired. When I use this product I get compliments that I look fresh and glowing. 

     Will just make the introduction short. I seldom use this product as spot concealer that's why the photos below shows what it looks like when applied to my waterline. And before I forgot, Nichido is a local brand selling affordable makeups and beauty tools. 

Nichido Minerals Spot Concealer

I've written my name here to see if this shade matches my skin tone. 
Nichido Minerals Spot Concealer
bare waterline, no undereye concealer
Nichido Minerals Spot Concealer
Used on my waterline, see the difference from the photo above? I applied concealer on my undereye here.
size: 0.04 oz. / 1.14g

price: 139 php (Around $ 3.40+)

place bought: Health and Beauty Section, Sm Fairview

ingredients: Contains Silica, Mica and Zinc Oxide
What I like:
  • Affordable.
  • The texture is okay and blendable if I use this as spot concealer.
  • It's not creamy and I'm surprise that doesn't tug my when concealing small pimples.
  • Covers minor imperfection such as pimple marks and blends well on my skin.
  • It glides smoothly on my waterlines that's why a line or two is enough and the color will already show.
  • Doesn't irritate my eyes, no sting and redness.
  • Stays more than 5 hours on my waterlines.
  • Brightens tired eyes when used as liner on waterlines.
What I don't like:
  • There's a slight pink undertone.
  • Smudges a bit but it's not obvious because of the color.
Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. This product acts as 2 in 1 product that's why I find this affordable. If you still remember my review on Shawill Eyeliner Pencil, you can say that Nichido performs well and the color isn't that obvious unlike white or silver eyeliner pencils. But before using this product on your waterlines, test it first on by lining a very small portion of your waterline and observe if you feel any discomforts. If irritation occurs, better stop using this product as eyeliner and just use it as spot concealer after all this is intended to conceal blemishes.

     Do you use eyeliner to brighten your eye? I highly appreciate your suggestions dearies ^_^
    
Good Times!~
