The Drugstore FOTD

It may be a rare occasion that I get to put on a full face makeup, but when I do, it seems like it's not that much products anyway. I've always loved the natural look and the sort of like no makeup look.

Maybelline The Falsies Review

OMG! I've been MIA on this blog for more than a month now. I knew I was intentionally procrastinating but it's been too long and I thought I should blog something about my new loved mascara. I'm on a hunt for so long now for a much affordable alternative mascara and finally I found it. My holy grail Dior Mascara does not perfectly tie in with the falsies however it still has its own positive points.

Oh My Lorde!

When was the last time you became such a fan you even want to look like him/her? I think I'm on the verge of being a super fanatic but no...not really. :D I guess I just got carried away with Lorde's music and decided to play with my makeup the other day. I actually used my new Ulta makeup kit my friend gave me as a gift but since I don't have a better picture of it at the moment, I will not include it in my makeup board yet. 

Manicure Mondays | Chanel Nails

This is one of my favorite nails I've ever done so far. I just love this gold polish from H&M. It brightens my hands and the application is really easy. It's not the usual glitter containing polishes that comes out rough when applied. I've already posted this on my old blog but I just wanted to showcase it again here on my new blog. I don't have any tutorial but obviously, it's so easy to do it. My current nail polish is a mess and my nails badly needs attention. The photo above is such an inspiration so I'm getting ready to choose which color to use today. What's your nail obsession lately?

Recent Favorites | My Beauty Essentials

It's not that I'm beautiful...but as a woman and a mom, I want to look good too! I used to mix and match everything. That's why I don't normally post favorite make-ups each month. But, surprisingly, lately I've been using the same makeup for the whole straight month. So here it goes:

1. Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Compact Powder Foundation | 2. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer | 3. NYX Blush Natural | 4. NYX Round Lipstick Iconic | 5. Stila Bronzer Shade 01 |6. Rimmel Lip Liner Rose

Fall Nails | Wet n Wild Under Your Spell

Peek-A-Boo!

Sorry, that picture wasn't meant to scare you. Although, yesss, I'm being a dork! Anyway, lately I've been loving this fall inspired nail color by Wet 'n Wild Megalast. At first glance you would think it's maroon but once you apply it on the nails, it becomes kinda brownish. I had to apply another coat to get those red shimmers pop out.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

This product has been the most remarkable product of its kind that I have ever used because of its spot on exact claims. Rimmel’s “Stay Matte” says it all. It does gives you a smooth and shine-free look. I basically bought this for my trip to the Philippines, thinking that the weather could get hotter or even more humid and to stay looking fresh is all I ever wanted. I'm definitely loving this powder even though it only gives me light coverage. The important thing for me is how it helps regulate the oils on my face yet lightweight on the skin. It also helps minimize the appearance of pores while achieving a long lasting shine control. Containing natural mineral is also a plus!

Revlon Colorstay in #310 Warm Golden Review + Swatch

For liquid foundations, I personally prefer matte finish. One drugstore foundation that I would definitely recommend is the Revlon Colorstay. But first off, my skin is in Mac NC35-37 shade or NC40 when in my super tan phase. I have a combination skin as well. I purchased mine from Walmart  for $9.98 which is a few dollars less than what you would pay at the drugstores. My first world problem for this one though is that it still has a small hint of pink tone to it. But, there are things that I thought I should consider liking it.

ELF Professional set brushes & Studio brushes

Elf products are known for their affordable makeup and tools. They have the regular $1 brushes which I think is very cheaply made except for the eyeshadow brushes that works okay, and the studio line brushes for $3-6 a piece which is definitely a must-try. Their studio line is made of synthetic hair and cruelty free. 

Wet n' Wild Through the Grapevine #208A Nails

Today's nail of the day would be this Wet n Wild Megalast nail color in #208A - Through the grapevine. It was two years ago when I last wore this color and I even posted a review about it on my other blog. I guess I should do a recap about this product and perhaps an update as well. Wet n Wild nail products are my favorite because not only they're inexpensive, usually costs $2 below, they are also good in terms of quality.
