Happy Skin PH

Makeup is something that I just cannot live without. I am not skittish to admit that my face really looks dry and pale when I am not wearing any makeup. Plus, dark circles around my eyes have been my major problem ever since. I need LOTSA concealer to hide them or else my life is doomed. Haha.

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you all my latest make-up loot from a very popular homegrown brand, HAPPY SKIN. Rissa Mananquil-Trillo and Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez are the awesome people behind HAPPY SKIN. They teamed up to create a skin-loving makeup. Now, I know why more and more people are loving this brand 'cause I was able to try them out myself. Happy Skin PH is something to be proud of! In fact, I love it more than my MAC makeup. Will surely add up more shades to my growing Shut Up and Kiss Me lippie collection.

Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me Lippies

I am in lipstick heaven! I just rewarded myself with the most raved homegrown make-up brand, Happy Skin, the other day. I gushed upon seeing one of the best-selling lipstick shades (The Morning After) 'cause everyone's really been giving good reviews about it. 

Moreover, I am a HUGE fan of lipsticks that look natural on the lips. I tried on the The Morning After tester (a limited edition shade) at Plains and Prints and instantly fell in love with it. It is easy to apply and glides on smoothly. With just one application, the color's already visible. No need for second coating anymore! It's the best nude shade of lipstick for me! Another shade that I got was the Summer Fling. It's a peachy shade that brightens up my fair complexion. It's the shade that I always tote around when going out. 

Verdict:

This is a very moisturizing lippie that is easy to apply. I love its staying power and its ability to make your lips fab with just one swipe.

In2it Eyebrow Colour

Finally, I bought one of the most raved eyeshadows today-- the In2it waterproof eyebrow colour. I just can't leave the house without filled in eyebrows. It really looks sparse so I really have to exert an effort in filling it in with an eyebrow powder or else my life would be doomed. Haha! 

I was able to use the In2it waterproof eyebrow colour just the other day and I was happy with what it has done to my eyebrows. It was highly pigmented and very easy to apply. Would love to show all of you the before and after pictures on my next post (hopefully). I'm so not in the mood to take a selfie 'cause my headache's been a pain in the a** since this morning.

Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder and Maybelline Foundation

Maybelline clear smooth aqua foundation and Ben Nye banana luxury powder are my current favorite make up products. Ben Nye is one of the most talked about make up brands today. I have been reading rave reviews regarding this product so I've finally made the decision to give it a shot. I bought the small sized bottle which costs PHP 800. The price is quite expensive for its size but I really have to try this one since the reviews that I've read were mostly positive. The Ben Nye Banana luxury powder works best if paired with any creamy foundation. I have got to try it the other day and I can say that I am quite impressed with the results. The yellowish color of the powder suits my fair complexion. It has a lasting effect though I still have to re-apply it after 4 hours or so because I sweat a lot. I would give this product a score of 8 out of 10.

Vanity Strikes Again

Make-up is every girl's bestfriend. I have started wearing make-up when I was in first year college. My aunt taught me how to apply blush-on and lipstick and eventually learned how to get it done all by myself. Whenever she comes home to spend the holidays with the family, she always gives me some stock of MAC products and cute nailpolishes from famous brands such as O.P.I and Essie. Last time, I bought myself some Face Shop nailpolishes and blush on. The peach shade blush on complements my fair skin tone. I get praises from my friends whenever I wear it together with my Angel shade MAC lipstick. I also adore the color of my new nailpolish. It makes my hands look 2 years younger! LOL. I wish I could have all the products from my favorite make-up brands especially those cute MAC lippies I have been seeing on online stores. They are too die for!
