Natural makeup with bold lips is the easiest go to look for any woman but it could get boring. Then again, if you have a little extra time and an event to go to, throwing in a little colorful metallic to the mix could transition your look to full glam,

It's been a long time since I purchased an eyeshadow palette, even single pans, because I don't really use it often for work and events so it kinda go to waste. I was happy with the "no makeup" makeup look because its simple, clean, formal and saves me time. Until most recently, I got bored with how I look.

Using liquid foundation is not my thing but after doing 30 days of Makeup, that morning habit stayed. It's not that I can't leave the house without it but I prefer to have a little makeup on before heading to work.​

I wasn't into liquid makeup until I found Maybelline's Dream Satin Liquid Foundation. It is one of BeautyMNL's Best 40 Reviewed Products so I just had to try if it'll change my mind about using liquid foundation on a daily basis.

Label:

Air Whipped Liquid Foundation
Our unique air - soft formula provides poreless, satin - smooth looking skin. Extraordinary coverage that does not clog pores. Long lasting and moisturizing all day.

The first time I used mascara, I didn't have a good experience to a point that I would never want to use one again.

So what changed my mind?

The last time we visited Quiapo Church, we went to Wellmanson and that's were I found this paddle makeup brush set. I already took it out of the box since it's generic and most of the times Quiapo and Divisoria brushes have the similar quality anyway. The set includes five brushes, an egg shape sponge and a brush cleaner.

Where to buy: Wellmanson, Quiapo, Manila

I've been so curious about these paddle brushes since it first came out and it is easy to find at the mall but I cannot afford to pay a thousand or more for a single brush. Not even three hundred per piece for something that may be similar in quality with those from Quiapo or Divisoria.

I was simply browsing for a new lipstick at the mall when a sales representative from LA Girl Cosmetics offered this kit to me. At first I thought it was from the same company until I was able to check it out when I got home.

​I’ve been reading fashion magazines and saw several articles talking about nude eyeshadow palettes. There’s B.Y.S., L.A. Girls, Maybelline and many more. But the price range of P500 to P1,250 for an eyeshadow palette is just a little pricey (at least for me)

Recently, I purchased a few make up products for a formal event I had to attend. It wasn't much and they are not new in the market but this is the first time I'm ever going to try them. I also received one high end lipstick from auntie as a gift (thank you auntie). I've been in love with this brand for so long so I thought of adding it to the loot.
