Good news everyone! There's a new homegrown brand in town and it's at par with international brands! Affordable makeup that delivers quality and high performance. Great quality cosmetics are hard to find and I am really so thrilled to share with you that we don't need to look hard anymore.

Pink Sugar is a local brand that Filipina girls will be proud to wear and to have in their vanity tables! Imagine a local brand that is housed in quality packaging and has a range of cosmetics that are of quality formulations that is made for us Filipinas! I have to emphasize on the wonderful packaging so that's an extra 5-points right there.

Pink Sugar Cosmetics is brought to us by Indian-Filipino brothers Laveen and Rohit Mirpuri. They are quite successful in bringing us body mists and now they bring us quality cosmetics.
The Pink Sugar concealers are definitely one of my favorites from the brand. It has a creamy consistency but it doesn't cake when you apply it. It's very easy to apply on your undereye area because you can start with as little as possible so you won't end up with a whole lot. I am not a concealer kind of girl, but I love that they have yellow shades.
Here are the swatches of the Our Lil' Secret concealers from lightest to the darkest.
Their eyeshadow palettes remind me of Lancome's too specially the blue hues. The nude palette reminds me of the ones of MAC because it's very basic. Who doesn't love nude palettes right? Consistency wise? It's highly pigmented and it glides on easily on the skin -plus, it lasts a long time too! It doesn't just disappear when you blink.

They have their berries

They have their pinks

...and they have their reds

Now the Sugar Tints are my most favorite. I love matte liquid lipsticks because I won't have to keep retouching. I won't also have to worry about the lipstick getting on my teeth which are a huge turn off!
My favorite shade? Purple Passion! Just when I thought that purple lippies were out, they're back in style with this kind of shade! I can't wait to review these!
Me being with Lancome for 4 years as a makeup artist, I would have to say that their powders compare to Lancome's Maqui Blanc Miracle powder: no traces of chalk or talc, it glides on smoothly on the face and it blends really well on my weird pink-yellow tone. It has a nice soft velvet-y finish that gives your skin a beautiful finish and not completely matte.
Did I mention that Pink SUgar is cruelty-free and paraben-free? It only contains ingredients that not only beautify, but they care for the skin and the environment in the process of making them! I love how the packaging looks prestige and of high quality. The brand really looks imported.

Don't you think Rohit Mirpuri looks a bit like Jake Gyllenhaal?

I won the Instagram contest and that's why you can see me smiling from ear to ear!
