Product Review: Althea Petal Velvet Powder

     It's been ages since the last time I used a translucent powder to set my bb cream. I'm a fan of powder foundation because of extra coverage and finish. Last July, Althea Korea secretly selected bloggers to get the first dibs on their Althea Petal Velvet Powder. This finishing powder was launched early this month and upon reaching our doorstep, I've decided to use it immediately.

     So what is Althea Petal Velvet Powder? According to their website, it is Althea's very own product range and the Petal Velvet Powder is the first from the line. This is a translucent powder that sets makeup and leaves behind a silky finish to the touch. Infused with oil from Althea seeds, this powder works to keep sebum production at bay without drying out the skin for a radiant, fresh look, all while giving out a gentle scent. After using it for a week, read my thoughts after the jump :)

Product Review: Pink Sugar x Project Vanity These Lips Don't Lie Lip Crayon (New Shades)

     I know, I know! The tongue twister title makes you wanna try this lipstick. Pink Sugar collaborated with one of the country's top beauty bloggers- Liz Lanuzo of Project Vanity to give you flattering shades and complete your lipstick arsenal.

     Lipstick in crayon-like form arrived in Philippine shore a few years ago and brands like Revlon and Clinique started the trend. From then on, foreign and local brands are producing their own formulas and shades too. So according to Liz, it was a huge milestone for her when the founders of Pink Sugar asked her to collab and produce this kind of lipstick. If you're a self-confessed lipstick junkie, a crayon or two of Pink Sugar x Project Vanity These Lips Don't Lie Lip Crayon is a must. Why? Read more below!

Product Review: Saemmul Real Tint

     I'm going gaga over lip and cheek tints right now hence rekindling my love to the first kind of blush that I was using when I was in college. Tints are becoming a staple in every girls makeup stash because the 'no makeup' makeup look is trending. The key to this is a natural flush on cheeks, natural brows and bb or cc cushion on face.

     The simplest and easiest way to achieve a natural flush on your cheeks is by using cheek tint. Did you know that there are different formulas of cheek tint available? I've tried a few of them like liquid tint, gel stain, and balm or stick type. My latest discovery is from the Korean brand The Saem. Their Saemmul Real Tint is a lip tint but I'm using it more often as a cheek tint. Intrigued? See my full review below :)
