Stories of a makeup artist...

I like that the toys nowadays are becoming more and more realistic such as this doll ( i'm sorry but I don't know who she is:-( ..)  the make up is absolutely gorgeous! It was like the real thing! Even the lashes looked real! The artists must have been so OC he/she wants it to look detailed. I liked the hair too! So fashion savvy! 

Obviously you can tell which one is my fave! They both last long but I prefer the creamier type from Mac. Milani is also good and I guess longer lasting because it's a bit stiff and using a mixing medium will probably do the trick (for easier smooth application)----just maybe! I haven't tried! There are already a lot of mixing mediums or sometimes they call themselves "converter" or "thinner" for cream or powder make up. Sometimes make up fixer or setting sprays will also help thin out some cream make up especially for the gel brow cremes in pots but I won't really recommend it on gel eyeliners as they are a bit harsh when applied to lashlines. Be  sure to read the labels or instructions first before applying anything to your face especially to eye areas.   They have a lot of colors but I prefer these colors to my eyebrows. And I also have the "Brunette" from Mac and I use it whenever I color my hair darker than the usual light brown I have or ...

Not my plan on buying these but I wanted to try the Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner for a long time!The kabuki brush from Koji is amazing!Very soft! The In2it liquid lipcolor is good too...very moisturizing. Overall, I'm satisfied! For the quality, they're inexpensive! Got the lipcolor and kabuki brush on SALE too!  In2it-263.75pesos Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner-699.75pesos Koji Kabuki Brush-399.75pesos

Yes... a corrector and concealer in one palette and a contour/highlight with natural bronzer in another too! Look at that! Bought this from SM department store but I think Watsons sell them too which only costs 449each! This is an Australian brand which I think will also suit our asian skin tones and types.  ( If you attended my make up workshops, you already know how to use this palette and it really works.) (This is not so pigmented but its fine once you start layering. I'm fair-skinned and in reference to Mac, I'm a NC25 so I guess this is a good choice. The other palette choice has lighter colors.) The palettes are good for personal keeps and maybe used according to your likes.They're not so pigmented especially this contour palette but the correctors may suffice if you're building your own make up kit. For the corrector, with my experience  as make up artist, I need this colors since I deal with different skin tones. I chose this creamy ones because they are easier...

Today is November 1 and I have not been able to update this blog for months! (Sorry)I have so many things to share with you and one recently I bought this nice foundation from the store. I wanted a smooth and a medium coverage and when I tried this,I instantly loved it! The foundation refill cost is 2,000php and the case is 600php so total is Php2,600. For the price, I find it a bit expensive but I think I have achieved the "glow" from within and I need not even have to put on a lot of make up to my face. The foundation is not flat and skin definitely breathes which is an important factor for me.With my age, I try not to put too much since I tend to break out it's probably hormonal. Oh... will share with you more make up purchases soon☺️ I'm soo excited! The foundation was the real "star" of this not the case. The case was so-so and didn't have any sticker or label at the back or something. Just a plain case with mirror and a hi-tech sponge. The sponge-y...

Now, now, don't get too excited...I'm about to tell you that these price tags actually exists in real life! 88pesos for a piece! How inexpensive! Are they worth it? Yep! Let me tell you more about it...  I bought these two from Saizen store which is an authorized retailer of Daiso Japan.I was just amazed how this concept stores from Japan are actually fun and surprising! They offer variety and yet with quality.  So when I saw this BB face cream, my jaw dropped! I was like... could I really buy this for 88pesos? I got one and tried it after paying... I was that excited! (duh..I didn't see a tester around) Anyways, I got the light beige and tested the color and consistency on my inner forearm. For the price, it's really moisturizing and good. It's a tinted moisturizer or light foundation but without SPF or sunblock. It's made in Korea but produced for Daiso Japan.  The details at the back. Will I buy it again? Of course! I tried it, I didn't feel any irritatio...

Now, I want to share with you Korean products that I got a hold a year ago (and I forgot to post!) and some of my personal favorites which I recently "impulsively" bought! Hihi..  I love their packaging! They are soo cute! I got some for myself, for my mom,mother-in-law and for my clients. I just forgot the price for each since I threw away the receipt. Sorry... but I assure you their products are amazing but affordable! Here are some of my insights... Wonder Pore Refresher It's a refreshing toner that is best to use after washing the face. It thoroughly refreshes and gently tightens the pores---estimated price: 600-800 Total Age Repair Powder Foundation This is a gift for my mom which I tried first at the store and saw how fine it was on my skin. It is a compact that comes with a mirror and powder puff. ---estimated price:1,000 Cleansing Puff This is absolutely my fave! It's a seaweed slimy round stuff that gently scrubs and massages your face with your favorite soap...
