<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Everyone who knows me can attest that Im a real sucker for blushes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I get really hyper whenever I see new ones in the market and there used to be times that Id end up hoarding all the shades (even the ones that doesnt look nice on me. LOL!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Having so much makeup in my stash - even forgot about owning some of them, I felt really guilty thats why I had to take a break from online shopping and blogging for about a year, of course I also had to avoid GT (Female Network's GirlTalk forum) since I easily get tempted to try out new stuff other makeup junkies are raving about (<i>inggitera lang? LOL)</i>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Was able to purchase a few makeup items during my "break" but I made sure they were makeup kit staples like foundies and lipsticks (still hoarded some LOL). Since I started wearing makeup, Ive always been a sucker for glosses -- from clear, tinted to sparkly ones and its just recently when I started to fall in love with lipsticks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To this date, I think I own more lippies than blushes and today Im going to review and show you guys swatches of LOOK Beauty's Loud Lips Lippies. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lets face it, women have a thing for stuff that comes in cute packaging. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Love the color scheme and love the classy design that reminds me of Emilio Pucci prints. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have it in 7 shades. Loud Lips come in 8 shades though, the brighter orange shade isnt available when we ordered.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The lipstick tube is made of lightweight metal, Im guessing its aluminum, has a classy faint gold tone and closes thru a magnetic mechanism -- this reminds me of Guerlain Rouge G Lipsticks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The thing is a bit bulky but I dont really mind since I tote around a huge makeup kit <i>naman </i>whenever Im out. My only beef for the packaging is that the magnetic mechanism is a bit weak, I wish it holds the cover stronger so it wont have the tendency to fall off whenever I fish for this lipstick inside my purse. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Below are the swatches on my forearm. If I were to rate the coverage/opacity of these lipsticks, I would give it a 7 or an 8 out of 10. I find that its actually nice for people who doesnt want to look too made up since the colors are not too strong/overpowering. The consistency of the lippies sort of varies too, some have a slightly glossy finish while some are sort of matte. Pardon me since Im really bad at describing colors but I promise Ill try my best. LOL</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shade #2 is Tangerine Cream -- This one goes on lighter than how it looks from the tube. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reminds me of Peaches and Cream coz its a creamy/milky peach shade. Not too bright and it didnt make me look washed out like most milky shades do. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shade #4 is Toffee Cup -- I rarely wear nude lipsticks since they make me look sickly and pale. But this one looked nice on me and Im guessing its because it didnt completely conceal the natural color of my lips underneath. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shade #6 is Petal Nude -- this is nude with a hint of pink, if youre aiming for a no makeup look, this will be a great pick. If you just wanna enhance the color of your lips, go get this one. Its the classic my-lips-but-better shade. From all 7 shades of Loud Lips, this one has a different texture, has more moisture than the others. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shade #7 is Berry Vamp -- The color reminds me of red wine. Used this the other day when I just felt like wearing powder, liner and strong lips. Love how it made my complexion seem lighter. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, these lipsticks have the same buttery texture like Double Hit Lip Lipsticks, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">glides on easily except that this line has more coverage. I wish they offer more colors soon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But come to think of it, its also nice that they have limited color selection since its easy to choose which ones to buy LOL. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Given that the formula of these lipsticks are on the moist side, expect to reapply more often than if youre wearing true matte lipsticks. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Expect to reapply every 3-4x in a day. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hooray for my second blog entry for this year, LOL! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Im super giddy to share my review for LOOK Beauty's Double Hit Lip since yesterday but my internet connection was really sucky so I decided to take a bit more time testing out the products before I give my final verdict. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just a short background for those who havent heard about LOOK Beauty Cosmetics yet -- just like TheBodyShop, LOOK Beauty is a drugstore brand in the UK and the quality is at par with some high-end brands Ive tried. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today Im going to review Double Hit Lip. It says on the website that its "u</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">niversally flattering and as tan enhancing as a white dress, these colour pop shades look amazing, whether gloriously glossy or not! All the trends covered - matte, glossy or combine the two."</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Sounds Good, right?</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Below is an indoor photo of all 5 tubes that I have. The colors are awesome and although the first one may look scary on the tube cause it looks too lavender-ish/purplish, believe me, all colors are very much wearable, and surprisingly, even the peach one looked nice on me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love that one tube holds both gloss and lipstick I also love that the color of the gloss is exactly the color of the lipstick hidden on the other end of the tube. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">See how they are of the same color?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">(this shade is my fave, #3) </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xz-07B8OVfk/UZR8Hw6ET6I/AAAAAAAADv4/9FHcXSd7DYE/s1600/IMG_7667.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xz-07B8OVfk/UZR8Hw6ET6I/AAAAAAAADv4/9FHcXSd7DYE/s640/IMG_7667.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The tube says it covers 2 purposes - a matte lippy and a gloss or you can use both. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i5Ogt-vtkSE/UZR8IHBRHvI/AAAAAAAADwA/_-zV3Ep_vnA/s1600/IMG_7670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i5Ogt-vtkSE/UZR8IHBRHvI/AAAAAAAADwA/_-zV3Ep_vnA/s640/IMG_7670.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The gloss comes with a doe-foot applicator, germophobes or makeup hygiene-junkies like me may want to use a disposable wand with this to prolong its shelf life and to ensure that the glosses are free from any bacterial contamination.</span></div>

<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's another shade that usually doesnt look nice on me -- coral / orange-y lippies.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This particular shade has a very nice lip tint effect to it, some degree of sheerness that adds a pop of color to your lips without the brightness of typical orange lippies.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love it. I love that it didnt make me look darker like most orange lipsticks do.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the tube, it looks bright, but when applied, it just gives that perfect clean pink hue. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Definitely a must-have! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the effect that I always try to achieve with lip tints. Just a subtle hint of color. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This would replace my benetint gloss/balm. Its like Benetint Balm in stick form ^_^ </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, I love this product. The color selection is nice - although they only have 5 shades to choose from, all of them are wearable and I guess all of them would suit most skintones. They are lightly scented too, reminiscent of the scent of creme brulee (LOL). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The formula is awesome, very smooth and they glide on like butter! The texture and finish reminds me of <a href="http://babyjaprn.blogspot.com/2011/04/korres-mango-butter-lipstick.html">Korres Mango Butter Lipstick</a> which I also love, not sticky and it doesnt feel heavy even when then gloss+lipstick is layered.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Was MIA for ages and I wanna be honest, I just wanted to cool down from something that happened to me online. One thing is for sure though, I dont wanna abandon this blog forever and I surely missed posting my random babbles about beauty stuf</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">f and everything under the sun. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For a while, I also "forgot" about online shopping (o yea! <i>nagbago na ko</i> LOL) but just recently, my (the coolest and ever so loving) Mom asked me if I know anyone selling stuff she can gift to our staff for Xmas, I showed her Meg's eBay account- jnlink777, and because of this, I felt the urge to browse Meg's stuff also and came across some really nice stuff that are (as always) cheap and of good quality. First to review is the Sally Hansen Get In Shape Brow Shaper Set. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I prefer shaving than plucking/waxing/threading when it comes to brow grooming, and for how many years now, Ive been on a hunt for the perfect brow razor to replace the ones I used to buy from Watsons coz they dont sell 'em anymore. All they have are those humongous brow razors that are just way too long (the blade part, I mean) for my liking. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When we talk about grooming and beauty stuff, Sally Hansen has got to be one of the best and the most popular. From the packaging to the razor, I give this product 5 stars. The size of the blade is just right, Its also the kind of razor that has blade guards to protect you from getting cuts/nicks, that's also one of the reasons why I hate those that are locally available, aside from the fact that they dont have those blade guards, the length of the blades are way too long. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Each wand serves 3 purposes: a brow brush, a lash/brow comb and of course, the razor. I love how I can stash this in my kit just in case I see a stray brow or if I need to tame my brows into place. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's definitely back-up worthy since I dont think its locally available, or if it is, Im sure it would cost more than the price I got it for. I only got 5 packs though since thats all thats left of Meg's stocks *sobs*</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">US drugstores definitely have them just in case anyone's interested. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ulta sells them for a little over $4 per pack, while TrueBeautyBrands sell them for $2. </span></div>

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iD52uy3IGNE/TyneDhQTAxI/AAAAAAAADtI/jAjHRfAFR0c/s1600/IMG_1959.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iD52uy3IGNE/TyneDhQTAxI/AAAAAAAADtI/jAjHRfAFR0c/s640/IMG_1959.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Barely had around 15 charms in my loot, I bought these not to keep them for a collection but to give them away as pasalubongs from my HongKong trip. They got lost in the storage though so I wasnt able to give them away to my friends. November 2011, I started browsing Facebook and came across selling pages for toys from Japan. And In barely a month, I was able to build my stash up to this : </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PfIR1keeOdo/Tyneqpz9kfI/AAAAAAAADtQ/zRETYMbp7Lg/s1600/IMG_4504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PfIR1keeOdo/Tyneqpz9kfI/AAAAAAAADtQ/zRETYMbp7Lg/s640/IMG_4504.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Not much as I only had around 40 at this time, and this shot was taken mid-December. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To date, I was able to build my collection up to 421 to be exact. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and this is how 421 Hello Kitty Charms look like : </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xGV4KR6mnu4/TynfK-KTYAI/AAAAAAAADtY/DPHQ1FYzcQU/s1600/400017_2536954104434_1271060032_32148654_919921885_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xGV4KR6mnu4/TynfK-KTYAI/AAAAAAAADtY/DPHQ1FYzcQU/s640/400017_2536954104434_1271060032_32148654_919921885_n.jpg" width="544" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I remove the strings so theyd be less bulky to store. Theres still around 30-40 charms thats not included in the last photo though. Super lucky to have met friends on facebook who helped me get my hands on some Limited Edition ones. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Not that Im trying to justify but these tiny things got my attention drawn away from buying makeup -- which I already have too much of and I guess it wouldnt be right if I stock up on more since Im rarely wear makeup lately. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A lot of people would usually collect plushies or the stuffed ones but I cant have those since Im sensitive to dust. So having these tiny babies is the best option, aside from theyre too adorbs to look at, they dont eat up much space in the storage too, and they dont gather dust as long as the container's covered. I love that these charms are more detailed too than the plush toys since they hold their shape better. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">People are asking me, when would I stop collecting them? I prolly wouldnt. I plan to buy the books that tell the stories behind the designs of the charms and I plan to make trips to Japan just to help me complete the charms from the book. For the sake of those who doesnt have an idea, these charms are designed as symbols of the prefectures of Japan. Each popular thing on each destination gets represented by one charm design, and I plan to have them all. <i>Kakaririn ko talaga to</i>. LOL! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyone here who collects charms too? I can share with you where I buy these stuff. Way cheaper than buying them from Gift Gate. *winks*</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Friday na ulit bukas! Whats your plan for the weekend? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Well Im not really splurging on this "new"or should I say revived addiction since Im quite good at looking for cheapie deals for them, but Im just fascinated by how much my collection grew in a span of a week. LOL! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Back in May 2011, I blogged about <a href="http://babyjaprn.blogspot.com/2011/05/kitschy-kawaii-gadget-danglers.html">Kawaii Gadget Swings/Danglers</a>, and my mini collection of Hello Kitty/Sanrio cellphone swings was just around 15-20 back then</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OyEGs-S_NqM/TuRA1Mjod1I/AAAAAAAADrQ/CVgxKvEZRPc/s1600/IMG_1959.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OyEGs-S_NqM/TuRA1Mjod1I/AAAAAAAADrQ/CVgxKvEZRPc/s640/IMG_1959.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">some time last week, I "met" a new friend on facebook, she collects charms as well and I learned that she frequents this blog din.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And because I got jealous (<i>inggitera </i>much? LOL!) with how much she had on their Sanrio Charm stash, I started searching ebay and facebook for sellers of Sanrio Charms and was able to build my stash to this : </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sBjSPODd33Y/TuQ_WjkoKbI/AAAAAAAADrI/VtKWFLUDaQA/s1600/IMG_4504.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="482" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sBjSPODd33Y/TuQ_WjkoKbI/AAAAAAAADrI/VtKWFLUDaQA/s640/IMG_4504.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">from the time I took that picture to this date, I was able to score around 30 more charms to add to my humble sanrio charm stash. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Not that Im trying to justify this new addiction but I honestly think this is better than collecting plushies or bigger items that can add up to the clutter I already have too much of in my bedroom. ^_^ </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Price range for these charms by the way is Php 40.00 - Php 250.00 per piece. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Way cheaper by a few hundreds than buying directly from Gift Gate. :) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, hows everyone? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I wanna thank everyone who emailed me asking me to come back to blogging -- I didnt quit ladies, I just took a little break, thanks for missing me! <3 smooches to you guyssss! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So today Im gonna share what Ive been buying lately. LOL! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Im not a fan of facebook and I decided to create an account just to check on the sellers who have been "stealing" photos from my page, and for some odd reason, online shopping found its way to enter the picture. Not gonna talk about makeup this time, and for the love of kawaii stuff, my hunger pangs for cute stuff was revived. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love cute stuff and I love thrift shopping and when you put them together, Ill surely be doomed. Facebook shopping can be a bit tricky since Im used to shopping via eBay where you can check for sales feedbacks before purchasing, on facebook, its a different story, you have to be extra careful. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh! I wanna share <i>pala </i>my purchases from the most generous ebay seller ive transacted with. Im so happy with my purchases from her, it brought back memories of my childhood. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Aliw lang. hehe!</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i></i></span></div><a name='more'></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I paid Php 60.00 for 3 sets of stationeries from the 90's. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I thought it was a great deal because each set costs Php 20.00 each and all of them are from Sanrio and Lisa Frank. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A tip I got from my mom : </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Make bold-colored lipsticks work better on you by wearing them matte. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And I honestly think her advice makes sense, I couldnt pick any shade from this set that made me look blah. I think NYX Matte lipsticks could sit on my Top 3 NYX products. The formula, pigmentation & staying power is really nice. No need to worry about lippies bleeding onto the areas around your lips! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These lipsticks lasted at least 4 hours on me even if I have this weird habit of touching my lips once in a while to smoothen out my lipcolor. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Im a big fan of gleamy-glowy-iridescent makeup, and I finally got my long-time lemming! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(Read my Lemming Post <a href="http://babyjaprn.blogspot.com/2011/04/when-temptations-get-in-picture.html">HERE</a>)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have some open/large pores in my cheek area and some on my T-Zone, but that doesnt hinder me from using shimmery makeup when everyone else would say that people with oily skin + open pores must use matte makeup to avoid emphasizing the size of the "manholes". LOL </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I guess its just about choosing the right kind of product or should I say choosing products that dont give the discoball-ish kind of sheen since thats what you dont wanna have, right? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A hint of sheen on the apples of my cheeks, and on other key areas make my complexion look healthier, for some reason, it even makes my face look smoother and my overall look appear more polished. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Wasnt expecting much from NYX Tango with Bronzing Stix, I wanted them just for the sake of trying them out and for the special love for shimmer. I must say the product surpassed my expectations, I never thought something this cheap could be really nice that it can be comparable to the much more pricier products that I have. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After getting this shade of Milani Color Perfect Lipstick, I stopped wondering why this brand is gaining popularity in the makeup industry. The colors are indeed perfect and the quality is good, in fact one of the best compared to other drugstore/low-end brands in the market. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After having Wet N Wild reopen their counters in the Philippines, this brand is next on my wishlist, I hope this becomes locally available. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They said Rose Hip is a dupe of NARS Schiap, I cant actually remember if they shade-twins since the last time I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">had Schiap was about almost 2 years ago. All I can remember is that theyre both hotpink (LOL) but regarding the brightness and intensity of its hotpink-ness, I cant really compare, would have to get a pop of NARS Schiap soon to do a comparison. ^_^</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 21px;">The frosted goldish-silver or silvery-gold (?!) plastic tube looks blah. Didnt disappoint me though since its a drugstore brand anyway and it wont cost you much to buy this from its regular price, you just get what you pay for.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Vollkorn; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Vollkorn; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Overall, I dont mind having drugstore lippies with packaging that doesnt look attractive since what Im usually after is the contents, if the product itself would impress me, then I wont mind buying this item again. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Vollkorn; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Vollkorn; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Aint complainin also since I retouch my makeup inside the powder room anyway. Not a fan of flaunting pretty makeup packaging by doing touch-ups where a lot of people can see me. :) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Vollkorn; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Its one of those lipsticks that gives a color payoff that's identical to how the color appears on the tube. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As far as I can remember, I sold my NARS Schiap before because the color makes my lips pop, and not in a good way, the color is just too strong that it looks like my lips are walking before me. LOL! But this one, I really love since its bright and its loud but its very wearable. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I dunno if that even makes sense, loud and wearable (?!?). LOL! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I like how it looks smooth on the lips, it also makes the fine lines on my lips look smoother. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I dunno if its good or bad but it does leave a hint of pink stain on the lips once the cream-base wears off. I dont really mind though since the color's pretty nice too and gives my lips a hint of color. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh before I forget, I sorta figured out what Milani Lipsticks smell like! Sampaguita (Jasmine)!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But the scent's too artificial that it kinda bothers me, but it does go away after some time, so, <i>pwede na rin</i>. LOL! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you have sensitive lips - lips that dry up easily from some lip products, I would suggest that you use a lipbalm before applying this lipstick since it can be a little drying (makes my mom's lips dry. not mine though). Im glad im actually <i>hiyang </i>with the formula of Milani Lipsticks. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Nuff said. LOL!)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Benefit BrowZings in Medium used to be my HG brow filler after realizing that The Face Shop's brow kit have strong olive tones and that one of the colors look more army green than brown. (did anyone else notice this?) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After reading beauty blogs and watching makeup tutorials on YouTube, I learned the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">significance of applying brow bone highlighters in emphasizing the arch of my brows and making it look cleaner so I used to bring around 2 tiny compacts (browzings + bourjois ombre stretch blanc) just for my brows. How inconvenient, right? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was really refreshing when I came across one product that has contains 2 wearable shades (well at least for me) and one highlighter.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Its from Etude House and its called "Perfect Brow Kit" </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I like that the compact size is quite similar to that of my Benefit BrowZings.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Also like the color which is sort of deep plum with shimmer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5yTbk922Boo/TpIFdqqhd7I/AAAAAAAACmk/RzWTKptkM4Q/s1600/IMG_3909.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5yTbk922Boo/TpIFdqqhd7I/AAAAAAAACmk/RzWTKptkM4Q/s1600/IMG_3909.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The design printed on top of the compact is cute too. Dreamy. I just hate that it rubs off pretty fast. I wish they used paint that lasts longer or something that gives an etched effect on the compact so it would look nicer and the print would last longer. </span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What I love about this kit is that the colors are just right. 2 brown shades that suit my preference perfectly and one highlighting powder that doesnt have strong whitish base plus the shimmer is finely milled that it doesnt give a fake/drawn effect on the brow bone. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pigmentation is just right as well, I love that the brow powders arent that pigmented that I dont need to be extra careful in using this to create a soft fill on sparse areas on my brows. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The highlighter goes on sheer as well and just adds the right pop of light on the brow bone. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Found this on the Etude House page, decided to share it here. I find it cute that they write descriptions that way, some people find it funny that the translations are done quite literally sometimes but I dont really mind as long as I understand what theyre talking about. ^_^</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My mom find the brushes too small for her liking, she wants her brow brushes a bit longer for more control and for better grip, I think otherwise though, I love the brushes that come with this kit, I even think the brushes are better than the ones that came with my BrowZings. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The brow powders last fairly long on me, 4hours perhaps then I would need slight retouching already but the highlighting powder wears off faster, after an hour or so, its gone. I figured though that it lasts longer when I use UDPP before I apply the highlighting powder. </span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Its been a few months since I stopped buying blushes but started to have this thing for foundies, I still have a lot of foundies in my stash but lately, Ive been really curious about trying out more since I got fascinated by how great one could look as long as you got the perfect foundie that suits your skintone and skintype well. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I got my Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Finish Creamy Foundie a few days back, and I fell in love with it. I wanted to publish a review for it rightaway but decided to test it for a couple more days to see how it works on me. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To cut things short, here's my review. :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Initially, the packaging looks similar to the pot of my <a href="http://babyjaprn.blogspot.com/2011/09/dior-pro-cheeks-ultra-radiant-blush.html">Dior Pro Cheeks blush</a>, but whats surprising is that this one's actually made of Glass instead of Acrylic which makes it really heavy and more delicate.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jxwoSF68afA/TpEvd0fP6-I/AAAAAAAACkk/2Zbg1gxDGvI/s1600/IMG_3893.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jxwoSF68afA/TpEvd0fP6-I/AAAAAAAACkk/2Zbg1gxDGvI/s640/IMG_3893.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The design/theme is pretty simple -- Gold and Crystal (Glass) which screams elegance. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love that it says when the product expires, it guarantees you that you are getting something made fresh from their factory in Italy. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed7zZVCew9Y/TpEvfOEfWqI/AAAAAAAACko/DgvEYkqtikg/s1600/IMG_3894.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="498" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed7zZVCew9Y/TpEvfOEfWqI/AAAAAAAACko/DgvEYkqtikg/s640/IMG_3894.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The packaging can be a fingerprint and scratch magnet, so it would be really nice if you have a velvet pouch or you can opt to keep the box so you can store this baby safely. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aglQecYb-Vg/TpEvgO3sHgI/AAAAAAAACks/yeI-E6N3Cio/s1600/IMG_3902.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aglQecYb-Vg/TpEvgO3sHgI/AAAAAAAACks/yeI-E6N3Cio/s640/IMG_3902.JPG" width="544" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are a few things that I dont like about the packaging though. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1. Its heavy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2. Its too chunky which makes it bulky. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3. It only contains 30ml of product. I wish it has more. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4. Clumsy people (myself included) needs to be EXTRA EXTRA careful in handling this. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">5. You cant tote this in your bag. The plastic disc (shown below) that guards the foundie from spilling doesnt secure a tight seal. Flip your pot over and there would be some foundie leaking off the edges. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I wish there was a provision for the spatula to be stored inside the pot itself, a small compartment on the lid perhaps so I wont risk losing the cutesy little spatula that comes with this foundie.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Overall, there are a lot of things that I dont like about the packaging, but the elegant design won me over.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sounds good, right? Its even better in actual. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Aside from the elegant packaging, its the formula that really won me over and made me love this product to bits. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Im an NC25 and its quite hard for me to find foundies that match my skintone perfectly. Im glad I didnt have to waste this one since it blends with my skintone seamlessly. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I got it in <b>Beige 78</b> by the way. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The formula is a gel-creme and based on the ingredient list of this, Water is the main component of this foundie which prolly explains why its different from other cream foundies Ive tried that bears this greasy, thick, heavy feel even if you only apply a thin layer.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dolce & Gabbana Perfect Finish Creamy Foundation bears this thick texture and you need just a small amount for each application, it blends easily even without primer or makeup base. It provides great coverage, evens out the skintone and covers minor imperfections.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Coverage is buildable too, Ive tried one, two and three layers of this foundie and there was no settling, uneven finish or heavy feel at all. And how can I skip this, it has SPF15 plus it doesnt oxidize too given the fact that Im acidic and the weather can be pretty crazy here in the Philippines.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MsrxvrR8jBY/TpE2luxFFjI/AAAAAAAAClM/uDviQ_D0LX8/s1600/IMG_3898.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MsrxvrR8jBY/TpE2luxFFjI/AAAAAAAAClM/uDviQ_D0LX8/s640/IMG_3898.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A swatch at the back of my hand with one layer of foundie. There isnt much difference right? But if you look at it closely, the foundie did a great job in making the skintone look more polished and even, the green-ness of my hand veins isnt visible anymore. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In relation to the price, I honestly think this foundie is worth every penny. Its a great investment in my honest opinion. But since this foundie is one of the most expensive ones in the market, it would be best to get your accurate shade match first before purchasing. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I wish all makeup manufacturers do this, put translations of the ingredient list in English as well so most of us can understand whats in them.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One trick that would make your foundie look natural is be stingy -- apply foundie little by little. Dont use a huge dollop at once or you would look like youve been smothered with melting cake frosting. Apply foundie one thin layer at a time, let the previous layer dry for a few minutes after putting on another layer to avoid foundie from settling on fine lines and creases. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Since the coverage of this foundie is nice too, you can also use this as a concealer. Dont expect it to cover everything though especially those imperfections that needs color correction first prior to concealer application. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Definitely!

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ideally, 12-18months, but if you sanitize the spatula before dipping it in the pot then this would keep longer. It expires 2013 anyway. As long as there are no adverse reactions from using it, then I think it can be considered safe to use. :) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Humidity or moisture in the air makes an excellent environment for bacteria and mold growth, and because makeup looks clean doesnt mean its free from molds and unwanted microorganisms. Yeah, we cant really make them 100% free from bacteria, right? But we can at least make the environment less conducive for them to multiply. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dL7ptk40Fpk/TohLm4OlnEI/AAAAAAAACjY/GttxIGrpWfg/s1600/IMG_3863.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dL7ptk40Fpk/TohLm4OlnEI/AAAAAAAACjY/GttxIGrpWfg/s640/IMG_3863.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dont you just hate it when your CARGO blush pan (or any other makeup brand that comes in tin/metal packaging) starts to oxidize/develop rust? Or when that NARS compact starts to get sticky? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Keeping Silica Gel Packets on your makeup storage would solve your problem. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But first, take note that cosmetics with "Rubberized" packaging like NARS should NOT be cleaned with alcohol that contains moisturizers -- a lot of alcohol brands sell alcohol with moisturizing ingredients nowadays to compensate for the drying effect of alcohol, emollients melt the rubberized coating over time, and when you add moisture or humidity from the air, it speeds up the "melting" process of the rubberized coating thus making it feel sticky.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I use 3M Lint-Free Cleaning Cloths for Gadgets + Non-Moisturizing Alcohol solution to clean my makeup. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That blush box is supposed to contain all my NARS, CARGO and Pop Beauty blushes, but as you can see, it contains blushes from other brands too.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyhoo, I keep a 50gram packet of Silica Gel for each makeup box that I have including my box for makeup application tools since I dont like keeping my brushes and sponges in brush stands coz I dont want them to catch dust. More than keeping these moisture-sorbent packets in makeup boxes, I think its more important to have them in your application tools storage, since those are more prone to development of molds because of the constant contact with moisture. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Some of the NARS blushes I have are more than a year old, and theyre still in pristine condition, texture of the compacts are still the same when I first got them. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are smaller packets of silica thats available in the market, like these 2gram packs that I also have. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z1pWEAQS6LQ/TohOkceywKI/AAAAAAAACjg/rT8etgwzCkc/s1600/IMG_3862.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z1pWEAQS6LQ/TohOkceywKI/AAAAAAAACjg/rT8etgwzCkc/s640/IMG_3862.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But I think the bigger ones are more efficient in absorbing moisture thats why those are the ones that I use for my stuff. Aside from makeup and makeup tools storage, Silica Gel packets also help keep your shoes and bags mold-free. Store 4-5 small packets inside the dustbags or shoeboxes and you wont have to worry about mold formation. It would also help if you clean and air-dry your shoes and bags prior to storage, moisture sorbent packets also avoid formation of "<i>kulob</i>" odors that would make you smell like youve been stored inside<i> Lola's </i>century-old<i> baul. </i>LOL!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For the 50gram packets I keep inside my makeup storage boxes, I replace them every year. :) But if you are keeping smaller packets, expect to replace them more often since they lose efficiency in absorbing moisture over time. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Since good brands can be a little expensive, then it wont hurt to think of ways to prolong their lifespan, so we get to maximize what we pay for, Right? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">OOOPS!!! How can I forget, put several packets also inside storage cases of your SLRs and lenses to prevent formation of molds from condensation and humidity.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Where to buy? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are some being sold on eBay.ph, 100 packets for Php250.00 those are the small packets though. These bigger ones we get from our supplier who's based in the Binondo/Divisoria area. Will update this post for the pricing and other details. :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">DIY Handyman also has them, but its another type that turns moist or gel like after some time thats why I prefer these dry ones. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So there, I hope this helps everyone who loves collecting cosmetics, bags and shoes. :) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I cant remember exactly when my penchant for tin lunchboxes started, Im guessing </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">its prolly because I want my stuff to have their own containers (the OC-ness strikes again) so I wont have to dig into mountains of clutter before I find anything.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was browsing eBay the other day and I forgot how I came across a listing for a </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fairly_OddParents">Fairly Odd Parents</a> Lunchbox.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This comes in a cute acrylic pot with a silver lid thats etched with "Dior" all over the sides. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I like the clean, simple design of the packaging, also love the size of the pot, its tiny enough which makes it convenient to stash in your purse, but big enough to hold a lot of product that would last you a long time to use up. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It holds 6grams of product, which is quite a lot compared to other blushes out there. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The teeny pot can be deceiving though and would make you think this isnt worth the pricetag, but it is, I swear.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I just wanna share a little blooper I had after taking all the pictures I need for this review, I was fixing my stuff when a thought popped out of nowhere -- "If I accidentally drop the blush pot, would it break? I think I have to mention that in my review". I pulled my newspaper-themed lunchbox that I used as background while taking photos of this blush when I heard a pop.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Velvety, souffle-soft cheek color.

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">"A blush with a new whipped-gel sensation. With its revolutionary silicon resin system, it offers such an incredibly smooth application that it won’t upset previously applied foundation or face powder. Pro Cheeks blends so perfectly with the texture of skin that it embellishes and illuminates the complexion while giving the illusion that you’re wearing nothing at all—for hours on end."</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">***</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At first, I was hesitant to try this as Ive tried a couple of mousse blushes that got me disappointed. Due to the lightweight formula of air-whipped mousse blushes, most of them would just sit on top of your cheeks waiting to be gone in few minutes time. I dont even have any idea where those blushes go after you apply them. It seems like theyre super lightweight that they melt away in an instant as well. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Not in this case though, aside from having superb pigmentation, this can be considered the best mousse blush ever formulated. No kidding. Its lightweight and velvety that its effortless to blend on the cheeks. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And once it dries, it doesnt budge. Not even if you try to rub it off with light pressure, and speaking of drying time, less than a minute or so after you blend it in, the blush sets to a seamless wash of radiance. I just couldnt stop raving about this product. Its just pure love. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And before I forget, a lot of people are raving about this too! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As a matter of fact, its rated 4.7 on Sephora and has a similar rating on Makeup Alley as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Need I say more? :) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I did a heavy swatch so as to show the intensity of pigment that you can create with this. Took me 3 sheer layers to achieve this pigmentation. See the tiny specks of shimmer? Thats the kind of shimmer that even people with open pores on the cheeks wouldnt hate.</span></div><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A lot of people prefer powder blushes for 1 simple reason -- theyre easier to work with. On the other hand, a lot of people steer away from liquid/cream ones because theyre just too complicated to use. Right? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Being a member of a beauty forum + being a blush junkie at the same time, I always get questions on how to properly use liquid/cream cheek colours, and Im sure a lot of people would actually say, apply the liquid/cream blush first before applying your powder foundie so it wont cake. It makes sense. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But wouldnt it be great if you can also use your blush on top of your foundie without compromising the flawless finish you always want to achieve even if foundie is in powder form? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I heard you say yes, and this breaks that little rule on cream blushes, Dior Pro Cheeks can be applied on top of your powder foundie and it wont cake, thats one more reason why I love this blush. You get to enjoy the actual shade of it since it wont hide under your setting powder or your powder foundie. <333 </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">How to blend it in? Use a dry, sanitized foundie brush or your clean fingers. Whatever works for you would be good. :) </span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I did mention above that once this blush dries, it doesnt budge even if you try to rub it off with light pressure. Its because this blush dries to a cheektint effect. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I even read <a href="http://talkingmakeup.com/beauty/makeup-tipsdior-sweat-proof-makeup/">HERE</a> that this is one of the water resistant products from Dior.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: proxima-nova, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 26px;"><i><strong>Dior EyeShow and Dior Pro Cheeks</strong>: “These are products that are crease-proof and water-resistant so YOU can do your eyes and cheeks without worrying about them moving when your skin heats up.”</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Its okay to be stingy when you use this blush since you just need a little product for the color to show up on you, plus, it stays on almost all day with just minor retouching needed considering our weather's pretty crazy here in the Philippines.</span></div><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ideally, this should be discarded a year after your first use. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Had this blush with me since 2 years ago and its still good to use. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(Sorry Im breaking makeup lifespan rules here LOL!) </span></div><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I started this blog, I promised myself not to post anything thats not makeup-related. Nothing personal. Nothing that involves anything that tackles the things that get through me. This is an exception and I hope you guys read on since its something that moved me. Something that I know, made me a better person. Ill try my best not to be boring, but I promise reading everything on this entry will be worth it. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Its not everyday that we come across something or someone that could make us realize the value of life, most of the time, once the road (aka. life) gets a little bumpy, we always end up sulking about life being unfair, that we dont deserve all those complications that life has to offer. For the past few months, a lot of things happened to me, which brought me to realize one thing- Life is way more than all those negativities we complain about, that each waking day is a gift, something we must be thankful for in every way no matter how "difficult" life is for us. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let me share one of the things that brought me to wake up to that realization... </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1ikeHZoEZ1Q/ToO_8bIm_EI/AAAAAAAACgQ/S-_h783Ht0Q/s1600/the-hand-of-hope.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1ikeHZoEZ1Q/ToO_8bIm_EI/AAAAAAAACgQ/S-_h783Ht0Q/s1600/the-hand-of-hope.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"></span></div><div style="display: inline !important; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"></span></div><div style="display: inline !important; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">special operations while the baby is still in the womb.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;"></span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture begins, "The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person". Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation was 100 percent successful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">***</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If I were to look for a picture that can best explain the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words", I wouldnt think twice, this picture would be the first thing that would cross my mind. Id have to admit I cried after reading through the message that came with it. The picture says everything, no need for detailed elaborations. Its just something that will shake you in a good way, something that will shoot you right thru the chest, something that will wake you from dwelling into something that drags you down. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now If you think you are having a really tough time dealing with life, maybe its about time that you recall how blessed you are for having the gift of life, that the only thing you worry about is how to improve it and to make it fit your ideals. If you feel tired and burned out by how stressful your life is, be thankful that you arent struggling to be alive, because some people are and Im sure they would love to trade places with you if given a chance. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We dont need to worry much about why life doesnt always go our way, everything happens for a reason and life is ought to teach us something from all those experiences. Having negative thoughts and feelings about stuff is normal, but remember that ugly thoughts will just eat you and wont do you any good. Be happy and learn how to be appreciative even of the littlest things that you have, be happy and Im sure youll get to sleep peacefully at night. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That being said, last night, I had the most gorgeous sleep Ive ever had -- I slept for just three hours, but the best thing about it is that I woke up happy after I realized its about time to let go of the things that make me feel crappy. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Hand of Hope brought me to a realization that transformed me. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So today, my inspirational thought would have to be : </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> <b>Life is a blessing and its just too short to spend much of it being mad.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think Id love to live with this principle. It wouldnt hurt to remind myself this once in a while. Right? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And oh! I love how Ogie Diaz says "Every<i> gising </i>is a blessing" never fails to brighten up my day. How about you, when was the last time you saw something that moved you? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You are prolly wondering why I couldnt think of a better title than that, right?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But I tell you thats the most appropriate title for this post. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love bazaars and thrift shopping. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(I know I didnt have to say that, everyone loves shopping LOL!)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Clearance Sales and the like trigger the hoarder in me, to the point that I </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">always make unnecessary purchases.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The compact itself is pretty thin and sleek, wont take much space from my makeup kit. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8y6WrrWHuJo/ToLUq8HLq_I/AAAAAAAACf8/MQVBDPEzRfc/s1600/IMG_3795.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="473" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8y6WrrWHuJo/ToLUq8HLq_I/AAAAAAAACf8/MQVBDPEzRfc/s640/IMG_3795.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love the floral, swirly details on the side.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One thing I dont like though is that I cant understand a thing on whats written under the compact.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Suffice it to say, the packaging is one of the reasons why I got this.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And upon opening the compact ... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WYsOgwS3CVo/ToLVRRTlYkI/AAAAAAAACgE/ozAfaOLWi3U/s1600/IMG_3796.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="482" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WYsOgwS3CVo/ToLVRRTlYkI/AAAAAAAACgE/ozAfaOLWi3U/s640/IMG_3796.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And the other one is with neutral colors. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The shade selection of contour powders on this palette is a bit darker than the color correcting variant, but still, the colors are still subtle and would be hard to overdo. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-no-PpzBeJ-4/ToLVSWm7GaI/AAAAAAAACgI/dDe4CbDFKEs/s1600/IMG_3797.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-no-PpzBeJ-4/ToLVSWm7GaI/AAAAAAAACgI/dDe4CbDFKEs/s640/IMG_3797.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Overall, the palette is impressive as it is very functional. The powders are finely milled and feel silky as you blend it on your skin. I also love that the bronzers dont bear orange tones. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are 2 things that some people wouldnt like : </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1. You would have to use a narrow brush for the highlight/contour portion since the pans are so slim, to give you an idea, they are a little smaller than the pans of shu uemura glow-ons. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2. I hope they came up with more palette combos that would suit those who have darker skintones since I think, these palettes would just work well on people with nc25 skintones or lighter. </span></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6lgYj2jKTbI/ToLPw2ZYVCI/AAAAAAAACfc/vzrTsFF6D50/s1600/BULLET3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6lgYj2jKTbI/ToLPw2ZYVCI/AAAAAAAACfc/vzrTsFF6D50/s1600/BULLET3.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For the highlight and contour portions, you can run your brush across the pans to mix the colors, or concentrate on using just one color to correct or to contour.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here's how I use each segment of the compact : </span></span></div><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2. <b>Multi-tone Color Correcting Highlighters </b>-- from all the highlighters Ive tried, this, by far is the safest to use. The shimmers are so fine that it perfectly adds glow without being too obvious that its makeup. Run brush across the pan and blend to create subtle highlights on key areas of the face.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3.<b> Concealer Fixer</b> -- finely milled translucent powder that sets concealer to avoid caking or settling into fine lines. Honestly, I have no idea what its for but I figured it works really well in setting my undereye concealer. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4. <b>Multi-tone contour powder </b>-- you can never go wrong with this, even though you are a starter in creating contours on your face, this wouldnt make you look muddy or dirty. Run brush across or use each shade alone to define the forehead, cheekbones and on the sides of the nose to create an illusion of a slimmer nose bridge. These can be used as brow powders too! </span></span></div><br />

</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;">Was supposed to do this tomorrow, but decided to share my review for the Milani Color Perfect Lippie in Bing Cherry now, like I mentioned on the last part of my previous post (<a href="http://babyjaprn.blogspot.com/2011/09/milani-color-perfect-lipstick-23-mango.html">Mango Mambo</a>), I was a bit disappointed with this one since I relied too much on a swatch that I saw online which looks very far from the actual color of this lipstick. </span></span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> The frosted goldish-silver or silvery-gold (?!) plastic tube looks blah.

More than that, choose a lippie shade that would enhance your look rather than a color that would make your features too strong. This is a very nice color but sadly, it doesnt look right for me, I feel that it doesnt suit me well. Its not something that I can wear comfortably. </span></span></div><br />

That being said, I think its also necessary to use a lipliner before applying this to confine the color in your lips and prevent it from bleeding. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I used to think wearing lipsticks make me look older, but then again I realized its </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">all about choosing the right color that suits you. Colors that go well with your skintone</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and colors that complement your undertone. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After the hotpink to pale pink lipstick trend, there came the hype for orange lipsticks, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and I always thought orange can never be something that I can pull off but I was wrong, from all the orange lipsticks Ive tried and never looked nice on me, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was able to score one orange lippie that went really well with my skintone and my undertone. It's Milani Color Perfect Lipstick in 23 Mango Mambo. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Milani is a drugstore brand in the U.S, I dunno when the brand started to get a bit famous but I assume its prolly when they released makeup shades that are excellent dupes for branded makeup. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> The frosted goldish-silver or silvery-gold (?!) plastic tube looks blah.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Overall, I dont mind having drugstore lippies with packaging that doesnt look attractive since what Im usually after is the contents, if the product itself would impress me, then I wont mind buying this item again. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l_Iv3fPqo2k/Tn7SPdDGaKI/AAAAAAAACcw/sotgdXSrPkE/s1600/BULLET1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l_Iv3fPqo2k/Tn7SPdDGaKI/AAAAAAAACcw/sotgdXSrPkE/s1600/BULLET1.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>23 Mango Mambo</b> is far from the traditional orange lipsticks I see, it doesnt have a milky tone to it, but instead it looks more like hot orange to me. It has a strong red base which makes it more wearable than other orange lippies Ive tried. Its not the kind of orange that would make your lips stand out from the rest of your face, this color gives your lips a little more emphasis without going over the top. Not too bright, not too striking. Color is opaque, pigmentation is impressive as you would need just one swipe to make its true color show up on your lips. Formula is lightweight, doesnt have a waxy or oily feel to it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One thing that can be an issue for some would be the scent, this lipstick bears this </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">perfume-like scent, its not fruity but more like a sweet, floral-ly one.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Wore this lipstick lastnight to replace the typical red lipstick for a pinup girl look. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It looked really nice to pair with my Winged Black Liner and NARS Luster Blush. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One thing that makes me worry about wearing pigmented lipsticks is that it can stain or bleed to areas around the lips which doesnt look nice. I encountered that problem with my Styli-Style Lipstick in Romance which is a deep red shade so I kept my fingers crossed last night and brought makeup remover with me to clean up smudges just in case, but after 4 hours of wear, theres not even a teeny trace of smudging. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A tip I learned from other makeup junkies : </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Use a longwearing lipliner and line your lips first before applying pigmented lipsticks, aside from making the color pop, it defines your lips even more and it prevents the lipcolor from sliding off and bleeding on the areas around your lips. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I dont think its necessary to use a lipliner for this product though. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VH4ekRe_B64/Tn7SRhY5GII/AAAAAAAACc8/AFXgwebCbwg/s1600/BULLET4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VH4ekRe_B64/Tn7SRhY5GII/AAAAAAAACc8/AFXgwebCbwg/s1600/BULLET4.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Staying power is quite impressive for a drugstore lippie. It lasts for about 4 hours with little retouching needed since I tend to lick/wipe my lips once in a while. </span></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BBThcqgckkU/Tn7SSvKstwI/AAAAAAAACdE/VkUs4LuVXx4/s1600/BULLET6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BBThcqgckkU/Tn7SSvKstwI/AAAAAAAACdE/VkUs4LuVXx4/s1600/BULLET6.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Definitely backup worthy. Unless I see a similar shade from another brand that has better staying power. </span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ive been a fan of this brush for how many years now and I have no clue as to why it got mixed reviews (mostly negative) all over the internet, I understand that people have their own preference and that affects their review for a certain product, but I cant really find the negative points they raised regarding this brush since I dont find it pokey, scratchy at all, I never even experienced fraying of the bristles even after several washes and this is like my 6th CS Kabuki on a Stick already, just had to replace the old ones because theyre just... well, old, and because I use it with liquid/cream foundies, made me think its more hygienic to replace it more often than the brushes I use for dry makeup.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- density is just right to pack foundation and blend it to a natural finish, say goodbye to streaky foundies! :) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- because of the density of this brush, it doesnt eat up lots of product, thats why I choose this over sponges since it helps me maximize the foundies that I have. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- check the photo above, the brush on the left is of an almost-a-year-old one and on the right is of a brand new one, contrary to the reviews I found thru Google, I never experienced</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">bristle fraying even if I wash my brush at least 2x a week.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-if you would notice the density too, it doesnt have that much difference since the brush sheds a couple of bristles once in a while during washing but no heavy shedding or bristle breaks at all. </span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1. First thing to consider is How they both perform - I tote around retractable kabukis for quick touch-ups, I use it to give my face a light dusting of finishing powder to polish off my look whenever I look messed up from heat or stress. LOL! TooFaced & Charm's bristles are identical, I dont see much difference between them, but the deciding factor is the length of the bristles. Charm's bristles are teeny bit longer than TooFaced, which explains why it does a better job in applying finishing powders without confining the powder in just specific spots of the face which would make blending more tedious. Blending fin pow with charm cuts the time in half since I also wont have to reapply blush after I blend my powder in. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2. The price - this one's pretty obvious, Charm is priced at Php580.00 considering that it performs better while Too Faced is priced at $32.00 which is about Php 1400.00. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is an impulse buy but Im glad I didnt control myself from buying this one. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Why invest in good brushes?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The kind of brush you use plays a big role on how your makeup would look after, the density, the shape of the bristles and all those stuff can help you pack in more color, make it last longer or apply the colors precisely where you want 'em to be. Needless to say, good brushes will make your makeup look more clean and seamless. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One more important thing is the quality of materials -- you are sure that the materials theyve used on your brush is guaranteed to be safe for use on your face, especially when you have sensitive skin and would easily break out from stuff, and of course, the lifespan -- if your brush is of good quality, then the lifespan would definitely be longer, thered be minimal shedding, no bleeding and no unruly bristles after a few washing. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That pretty much explains why you should search for feedbacks first before buying brushes, Remember that expensive doesnt always mean its good and cheap doesnt always mean that the quality is compromised.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One great example is the Too Faced Flatbuki Brush. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Read on to know more about it. ^_^</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div><a name='more'></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Stuff that caught my interest are the TV Paintstick and the 4ml pot of Dermacolor Camouflage Creme. I ordered rightaway after confirming my shade matches together with the Kryolan Stippling Brush and the ever-so-popular Kryolan Anti-Shine Powder. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First time I tried the Camouflage Creme, I instantly fell in love. It immediately took the place of my then-HG concealer that is O'Leary. Thinking my 4ml wouldnt last long, I placed an order for the fullsize 25ml pot rightaway. Without even thinking that each application would need just a few swipes of the product and a 3ml pot would prolly last me half a year to use up. LOL! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For convenience, I got this concealer wheel to create various shades of concealers depending on what I need it for. An impulse buy, I must say since I just saw this at one of the bazaars in SMX and the seller sells 'em cheaper than the Kryolan outlet in Tomas Morato. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love that it comes in a durable plastic pan, my only beef is that, theres no specific markings on the container for easier identification of the actual shade code, The label at the bottom of the pan also rubs off easily so expect that the text would fade especially when you carry this around on your makeup kit. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Those shade texts that you see are made by me using Graphitype Dry Transfer Stickers since I was also clueless of what the actual shade codes are, I was supposed to publish this review yesterday but I had to do a little research first to be able to find the shade codes of the concealers on this wheel. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also printed shade codes on the sides of the pan for easier identification even when the cover is off. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here's a photo of the 25ml Dermacolor Camouflage Creme. The pot is pretty huge and I wish I just kept my 4ml pot with me so I can just refill it. The plastic they used for this one is breakable, so be careful not to drop it. Pot contains a loooooot of product. I think it would take me years before I use this up. Or prolly this would expire without me even using up even half of it. LOL! </span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In terms of packaging design, I like the minimalist approach, no fancy designs whatsoever. Overall, I like their packaging, except that I wish the concealer wheels have shade codes printed on the side for easier identification. </span></div><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So as not to confuse everyone, Dermacolor Camouflage Creme is actually a foundie, but since it has great coverage, it can be used as a concealer as well. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When this Concealer wheel was still new, I remember it says on the back that its Dermacolor Wheel A. Assuming that its suited for people with light to fair skintones, but from the Kryolan website, this wheel is the third from the lightest. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As is, the formula may be a bit too dry or too creamy. Which would make blending a bit harder, what I do is, I scrape off a small amount of the product, slap it in the back of my hand and warm it there by swirling my finger on it. It would only take a few seconds to "melt" the product to make blending easier. Or use the faster way by running the product under a warm hair dryer. ^_^</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The coverage varies, can be light to medium to full, since you can layer to give more coverage or mix with moisturizer to thin it to your desired coverage. I dont like applying a thick layer of this since no matter how long lasting or crease-free your makeup claims to be, if you put too much on, then it would really have the tendency to settle on fine lines. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here are swatches I made at the back of my hand : </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mind you, those are just light, one-layer swatches and its pretty evident that the coverage is really good. What I love about Dermacolor Camo Creme is that it doesnt feel heavy on the face when applied considering that it provides full coverage.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And unlike my old HG concealer, this doesnt oil up after a few hours. My face just stays dewy and my makeup just looks seamless. This product doesnt oxidize on me too! From the pot, D3 looks too yellow, right? But when applied, it blends to my skintone perfectly creating a clean, seamless canvas.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dermacolor Camouflage Creme can also be used to conceal birthmarks and tattoos, but please take into consideration that you also need to have a neutralizing shade to cancel out the hues of the tattoo or birthmark first before applying a shade that matches your skintone perfectly.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Before everything else, make sure that the concealer is warmed for easy blending and to prevent skin tugging. Also, use a patting motion in blending concealers rather than swiping it to avoid premature development of fine lines especially around the eye area. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
