Product Review: CarbTrim Iced Tea Mix Lemon Flavor

     Today, I decided to add another topic on my blog and it's about health and fitness wellness. A lot of my relatives and friends asked me why I lost so much weight after giving birth. Actually, this so called journey didn't started after pregnancy but during my high school years. I'm always on a diet ever since and to tell you honestly, I've tried different techniques on how to loose weight fast but the faster you loose weight, the more weight you will gain after that diet period. This is what they called as the rebound effect. So the best way to loose weight is through healthy lifestyle- balance nutrition and exercise. In my experience, diet supplements like fat burners, appetite suppressants, and the like just adds a little boost on losing or maintaining weight. I noticed that the obvious effects of slimming pills and coffees that I've tried before was just help me loose the water weight that I have. Since I don't value exercise before and I want to lose weight the easy way, my skin sagged and got stretch marks here and there. My skin also got a bit wrinkled because I lost so much water and become zombie like due to insomia- another negative effect of slimming pills, juices, and coffees. But not all slimming products in the market are alike. So as years pass by, more innovation about healthy lifestyle became available to health conscious individuals. As I've said earlier, we also need a "boost" to make our healthy lifestyle more achievable. In my honest opinion, there should always be a balance between diet and exercise and a little supplement that will help us achieve our goal. It's like drinking your daily vitamins and supplements. I think there's nothing wrong if we will incorporate healthy drinks in our meals and aside from that we get benefits that will help us achieve our fitness goals.

Product Review: Colour Collection Vitamin E Matte Lipstick in Electra

     Here's a review of my very first red lipstick. Red, huh?! Not all girls can pull off red shades of lipstick decently. Some may find the shade sophisticated and Elegant while others may find the shade bitchy, sluty or matronish. Picking the right shade of red to suit ones skin tone is very tricky. If you can sport red lippie anywhere and anytime then lucky you! You'll see the Anne Curtis Smith in you who can wear red lipstick in all seasons! I'm also a late bloomer when it comes to lipsticks. I started using them on a regular basis some two years ago. I was scared before to apply bold colored lippie since I have a pigmented lips. I know that opaque and bold ones will look more intense when worn knowing that I have a pigmented lips. 

     Before I decided to try a red shade lipstick, I search for dupes of the infamous MAC Russian Red and Ruby Woo. I didn't found a dupe that I based from the photos of Temptalia. By the way, she is a famous international beauty blogger. So my search for the perfect red lipstick was set aside when my cousin from the US bought me MAC Girl About Town- a blue based pink lipstick and instantly fell in love with the color.

     Even though most of my lipsticks are pinks, I still want to try red just to see if I can wear it without looking like joker or a clown as what le hubby always jokes about. So when my sister-in-law gave me the brochure of Tupperware Brands, the distributor of Colour Collection makeup, and told me that she wanted to give me a thank you gift I didn't think twice and chose this shade. Wanna see if the lipsticks suits me? I wanna faint the first time I applied the lipstick but after three tries, I think I'm getting used to it. So here it is, Colour Collection lipstick in Electra.

Product Review: E.L.F. Blush in Flushed

     Hellos! Here's a review of my third blush on my history of powder and cream blushers. I'm a long time cheek tint user before I started blogging and just lost my love for cheek tints when my fave cheek tint was discontinued. Anyhoo, this is an impulse buy and now I'm having a love-hate relationship with it. I bought this blush because I forgot to bring my trusted ol blush for touch up before and after the go see that I attended months ago. I was in a hurry that day and the brand that came in my mind when I pass by Landmark, Trinoma was ELF. I had a good relationship with ELF Blush in Glow before that I actually hit the pan. So without a doubt I'll pick ELF again but I was surprised that it has been repackage and not sure if the formula was reformulated too. Since I'm in a hurry, I haven't tried the blush and just bought it right away after getting from the shelves.

     When I stared closely at the blush, I'm not sure if the shade suits my skin tone. I find the shade too dark on my cheeks after application. After two hours, I noticed that the color of the blush oxidized on my cheeks as it turned red. I'm not sure if it's because of the lighting on the venue's comfort room. But when I got home, I ask le hubby if I look like a clown with this blush on. He said no but with a grin on his face.

     So after that incident, I decided not to use this blush again. But I'm hopeful that it will work for me on the event that I opted to use the blush again. On my recent fotd, I use this blush again and I still find it unflattering on my cheeks. Please help me decide if I'll continue to use it, read my review and see my swatch.
