Review : Avon Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick

I was taking a walk at Ayala Mall when I saw an Avon booth. I checked it out and they were giving free lipstick samples (who am I to say no?). The color I got is Charged Cherry. Avon is celebrating its 35^th year in the industry so they’re giving discounts on a lot of regular items, too. For this one, full size is selling at Php375 but now it’s only Php199.

Review : San San Age Defense Make-up Set

I bought this last month during the sale for Php170 but original price is Php200. It's a complete collection of four eye shadows, two blushes, a face powder and a lip palette with seven shades. I got mine in number 02 which has a green quad. It's a little less 3 1/2 inches in length and around 2 1/2 inches in width which is a good size to bring with. It has a brush for the blush and a dual end lip brush and sponge tip applicator. They aren't much useful if you ask me specially the blush brush because it shed a lot but would still do if you have no better option.

I've seen a lot of make-up sets like this but so far this is my favorite packaging. I like the fact the lip palette is separated from the powder ones and that the face powder have its own case too because I hate it when the powder mixed with the cream ones and seeing eye shadow dusts on my face powder.

Review : Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Very Cherry

Red lips is a classic. It will instantly brighten up your bare face and look effortlessly gorgeous just like the Burberry runway models for Spring/Summer 2013 show.

I went to SM Department store and saw this five color range of red lipstick from Maybelline. I tested the color and decided to get it on #635 or Very Cherry because it compliments my skin tone well.

Of course, I had to try it as soon as I could so I wore it to the office the next day and it was really noticeable. My office mates complimented me and told me I should wear it more often. Probably because I always pick something nude or pink or anything subtle so it was kindda new for everyone.

My First FOTD : Blue Lit Fountain

This will be my very first FOTD post and honestly, I'm not sure if there will be more after this (depends if you want more =^x^=). I still wanted to try though and hope you would appreciate it. This will also be my entry for Celline08 of Product Arena's Giveaway/Contest. (You can click here for more info)

The giveaway is about the Holiday Festivities. Two winners will be chosen for the contest and two will also be randomly picked for consolation prizes. If you don't have a blog, you can simply post your looks on her fan page. Deadline of entries was suppose to be on the 31st of December but she moved it till 10th of January (still plenty of time to create the look =^-^=). Unfortunately, this is only open for Phlippine residents.

Let's move on with the look.

The Inspiration :

I took a photo from my friend's album on Facebook (Michael Belmonte Sagun). It's a picture of  a water fountain by the mall entrance with blue tiles and white lights placed on where the water is coming out ( I think...). Looking at the drops of water, I thought it looks like Christmas lights so I suppose it's a good choice.

Review : Affordable Make-up Brush Sets in Manila

Divisoria must be the first place to come to your mind when thinking about buying anything affordable in Manila. But honestly, its just too big and crowded for me to handle. So I went to Quiapo instead to look for make-up brushes. I found one for a really low price of P180 for 12 pieces with brush roll.

It's brandless but the quality is not that cheap at all. The bristles are soft and the handles are sturdy. I think these are the same brushes they use on small salons. Although I did loss a few strands with the powder and blush brush after combing it.
