GOLD WATCH...Anyone?

I've been eyeing on some gold and boyfriend's watches since they are the latest in today's trend. I have never owned a gold watch yet, most were silvers and leathers. So a gold watch will give me another look, elegant as they say. 

Though it's gold in color and the weight is heavier than my usual watches, I prefer to wear it on casual days too! It gives a twist on my lazy wears (denims and shirts). So here is my latest watch addition:

Looks elegant because of its gold plate, dial and stones.

I'm happy to have purchased this watch, well my mom asked me to. Haha! Time is gold indeed! xoxo

My SEPTEMBER Favorites

Hi there loves! It's the time of the month again for my favorite make up pieces. Since it's sunny-rainy-sunny season, I have decided not to use much make ups for my face. So here are the faves...

ELF Eyebrow kit, ELF Blusher, MAC Select Sheer Pressed

ELF All Over Face Brush, ELF Length Defining Mascara (24K), BENEFIT the POREfessional, BENEFIT Lemon Aid and Boi-ing

ONE Berrylicious Balm, MAC Russian Red lipstick

So there goes my September favorites. If you've noticed, I didn't use much on liquid foundations since the weather is sometimes too hot or wet. For this kind of season, I prefer to use more on powder foundations or just face powder. This will help my skin stay fresh. :)

Thanks again loves! xoxo

Review: REVLON PHOTO READY LIQUID FOUNDATION

At last, I was able to create a review about my favorite foundation. I've been using this for about 2 years now and it still gives me the perfect look especially on photos. :)

Costs Php 950.00 at the Revlon counter in SM Dept Store (about US $23)

Swatch (Shell) 

When blended

So far, I'm satisfied with the coverage that it gives my face. But definitely I will be searching for other liquid foundations that stays longer. Revlon Photo Ready gives awesome photograph looks. So if you opt to look good on photos, this is a must for you. :)

Applied on my face, without other make ups or concealers

Thanks again! xoxo

Review: PONDS COLD CREAM

Another important piece of each make up artist/enthusiast "must" have: Make up Remover. Yes, it's very important since we can't just remove our make ups using tissues, wet wipes, water and facial wash. Before we can wash our face, we first need to use a make up remover to gently wipe off dirt and make up, especially eye make ups.

A very gentle cream is what I use as a make up remover. Ponds cold cream I can say is one of the best make up removers. Aside from its cream form, it's very easy to use and budget friendly.

This small tub costs at Php 135.00 (about US$3) at Watsons

The instructions says it all, very easy to use.

creamy form

Overall, it's non-greasy and perfect for everyday use. My best remover until now. 

How about you? What's your best make up remover?

Thanks! xoxo

Review: ST. IVES APRICOT SCRUB

Hi there again loves! Been too lazy for the past couple of weeks. Now, I'm ready again to post insights about beauty. :)

Won't be talking about make ups today, but rather my favorite facial scrub of all time! Yes, I've been using this for about 3 years now and I'm happy about the results that it gives my face. I use it twice: in the morning when I take a bath and in the evening when I do my night time facial habit. 

I love how it feels after scrubbing my face using this. It gives me a smooth finish, especially on my nose area where I have a lot of white heads. I also love the smell of apricot, it's very refreshing to the skin. :)

Nothing compares to this, really. So as long as there is St. Ives, I will definitely purchase this over and over again. This only costs around Php 197.00 (about US$5).

Thanks again loves! xoxo

Review: MAC PRO LONG WEAR FOUNDATION

One of the items from the haul this month is a Pro Long Wear Foundation. It gives up to 15 hours of coverage in any environmental condition. That means, you can wear it all day without touching up your foundation (or maybe adding up just a little bit of powder at times). Best to wear as part of a bridal make up. :)

NC25 shade

Swatch (without flash)

It's creamy but very lightweight when applied to the skin. It also controls oil to keep skin fresh. But I suggest to still apply loose powder after make up application and a primer before applying this to keep your make up smooth and fresh.

I will soon make a FOTD using this foundation so you can see the coverage on my face, and I'll try to let it stand for a whole day :)

Price at Rustan's (around $46)

So there loves, til next! xoxo
