Last July 26, I attended the Herbalife SKIN Line launch at Aracama at The Fort. I know you know by know how addicted I am to skin care so this was one event I could not miss.

A skin care line that is used by numbers making is easier for us kikays to maintain a good skin care regimen! Thank you to my blogger friend Kumiko for inviting me to this wonderful event, and afternoon talking about skin is my idea of a good lunch accompanied by good friends LOL

At my best friend's bachelorette party, Elizabeth Arden was one of my sponsors for the giveaways to ensure that me and my fellow bridesmaids look pretty on our friend's big day. Among the giveaways from Elizabeth Arden is their GWP Radiance Blush in Sunburst.

Aside from the packaging, this contains the actual blush in a 3.2g sample size that they really have in stores. The full size radiance blush is at 5.4g. This luxurious, oil-free powder blusher boasts a true color, high-pigment formula that contains a bunch of vitamins & antioxidants. So not only does it give you a natural, radiant glow, you also get a lot of skin-benefitting properties that help to soothe & protect your skin.

HOLISTIC SKIN CARE – BEAUTIFUL SKIN STARTS FROM WITHIN

If you think your facial creams and lotions are doing enough to keep your skin look beautiful, think again. Recent studies now show that the real secret to healthy, young-looking and glowing skin has to start from within.

To get that effortless, “lit from within” glow, you have to complement your creams and lotions with a healthy lifestyle and way of life. Use this checklist as a guide to gauge whether you’re taking care of your skin from within—it’s truly the best way to keeping your skin healthy and beautiful.

I never used to care for my brows because I had bushy ones. But ever since I got them professionally groomed for the first time about 4 years ago, I am now obsessed with brows. One of the best things about having perfectly groomed brows is that it really makes or breaks your whole look. It really does frame your face and it gives your makeup look that polished, finished look.

I have found myself reaching for Happy Skin's new Eye Love View Pencil and Marker Eyebrow Duo, well, I alternate it with my K-Palette's Lasting 2Way Eyebrow. Although I prefer K-Palette's Sponge tip-type still when doing my brows, Happy Skin's pencil type can still give you that control if you are a little bit shaky with your application.

#aboutface

I have always been a fan of MAC powders because of the fabulous coverage it gives even when you use it on its own.

Honestly, when I received this powder, I had no idea how to use this because this is the first time I came across it being one of those people who stuck with their MAC Studio Fix foundation for a long time. I was a little pissed with my current makeup base that day I received this powder and I just couldn't wait to try and use it with the current liquid foundation I had at home and see if it will at least bring my foundation to life.

True enough, this skinfinish natural did such an excellent job on giving my somewhat pasty liquid foundation the most natural look on my skin that I call this powder the miracle powder. This is quite expensive for a compact though but by using it with a powder brush, you get to use it for a long time.

As with most lip and cheek tints, the colors look deeper, and in some -brighter (like you will be a little bit scared in trying them on) in the packaging than they do when you actually apply them on your skin. In my switches below, I will show you how the color looks heavier in the pot, but you will see how nicely it blends out, leaving behind a natural and pretty flush of soft color!

It's been a really lazy Monday and I have been feeling a bit under the weather so this post is coming out a bit delayed today. Anyway, eyebrow products are always a good product to start when you are just getting into makeup.

One of the greatest inventions for eyebrows is the eyebrow mascara because you don't need to go to the salon to get lightened brows that matches the hair color on your head! With these brow mascaras, they also brighten up your entire look as well.

BDJBox has been impressing me lately with their ability to include full size products recently. Don't you just love those? Albeit wether it be full size or sample sizes, they provide enough sachets to make sure you get the whole experience for about a month or two to make an informed decision before buying the actual product.

I was both surprised and excited at the same time when I received this month's box. It's huge! I am not sure whether they have just changed their box size or if this is just for this month. Well, whatever it is, it's still a BDJBox so it's still a happy day!
