Cool Finds in Watson's Phil.

Oh hi there! I just want to share some products that I saw in Watsons yesterday. Hehe. It has been a while since I visited that store.

I am surprised to see these products in Watson's Philippines counter. So, more and more japanese brands are coming in our shores, eh? hehe XD

Here are some products I saw:

Product: Palty Hair Dye

Price: Php 499 (roughly Php 500)

I am a huge fan of japanese hair dyes! and I've been using Palty back when I am still on my verge of changing hair colors. Where do I purchase them? Online. How much does it cost? Php 600 with free shipping. How long does it take before I get it? a day or 2. But now! Whenever I feel like coloring my hair again, I can go to any Watson's and grab this gorgeous hair dye. It's cheaper and I don't have to wait and go through all the hassle of depositing payments to the seller's bank account! Which is~ great ^^ The only downside is they have limited colors. Well, who knows, they might have more colors in stock in the future, right? :) ehehe.

next is: 

Product: Bifesta Cleansing Water

Price: Php 419

~*~*~

Product: Quick FX

Price: Php 50-100

Okay. I can't remember which online store sells Bifest here in the Phil and I can't remember how much it is. But this is the first time I saw it in counters. LOL. Aym sorry~ if ever this product is already available long time ago. But it is the first time I saw it so It's kinda cool XD at least for me. 

Then the Quick FX products. I saw this last month and I find it cool and affordable. I grabbed the Pimple Eraser and I might make a quick review on it. I hope it works but if not, it's fine since it's cheap so I am really not expecting that much from it. But still, like what the product name say, it is a quick fix. Who knows, it may really be a good. 

So yeah, that's just about it. hehe Okay, it's been a month or two since I really had a visit/tour in Watson's. So this things are new to me :)

TheBeautyJunkee x ShiseidoPH Makeup Workshop Experience ^_^

Okay! hihi... this will be just a brief story telling about the make-up workshop we had last Sunday, March 10, 2013, at Shiseido Greenbelt5 with Ms. Martha of thebeautyjunkee.blogspot.com.

It is such an honor to be chosen and invited to her workshop. And! the great part about it is. it's my first ever event XD LOL oh yeah! Thank you Ms. Martha for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your workshop and! to meet new nice people ^_^ hihi.

Okay! So! What's the topic/theme of the workshop? This may not be the exact words but, it is

How to work on with the tacky blue eyeshadow

Yeah that's right, she taught us how to work with the blue eyeshadow which is always incorporated with SM girls (no pun intended)

I won't be mentioning or describing or writing the things on how she does it... If you want to learn how, you can always visit Ms. Martha's blog ^_^ 

Well, okay~ I'll try to give a best summary on what she discussed with us. Here are points that I stamped on my brain:

• Light toned blue eyeshadows are meant for light toned skin, Medium Blue in to medium toned, and Deep/dark blues are for dark toned skin

• It's easier to work first from lightest blue to darkest blue

• Rose toned blushes are better to go with blue eyeshadows

• Light pink or natural lip color is good to go with blue eyeshadows as well

• If you want to have a fresh look, put the blush on your cheeks, and if you want to look mature. you can put your blush on the sides of your cheek O_O okay uh.... maybe somewhere close to your ears XD LOL correct me if I'm wrong!

• And this is a good technique for those who have pimple scars. if you're adding blush on an area where there's scarring, it is advised to just do the "bouncing" technique XD you just dam lightly the blush on the cheeks until you get the desired pigmentation/ color then blend it outwards :)

• For Dark Circles! with dry eye area with fine lines, she said it is better to use a liquid concealer and blend it/sweep it inwards :)

• If you want to have a slimmer effect. drag/sweep your foundation downwards, but if you want a smooth canvass, sweep it side ways

There are more things she shared during the workshop, but it is hard for me to post them all up. sorry! XD

Here are some photos from the workshop. I apologize for low quality images for I am just using my Xperia Neo V phone.

Revlon Matte Lipsticks: 001 Nude Attitude & 012 Sky Pink | Swatches

Hey there guys! Here's another swatch post of 2 of my Revlon Matte Lipsticks. I got Sky Pink at SM Megamall when it was on sale last Dec 2012. I can't remember how much is the exact price but I think its around Php300+. Then Nude Attitude was got by my sister in the US last year as well while she was having her internship, so I have no idea how much she got it there.

Just a quick insight about these lipsticks, I don't wear them a lot coz most of the time my lips are dry and these lipsticks are not a good partner for dry cracked lips. Well, they tend to emphasize my lips' cracks and dry skin. The lipstick doesn't glide well, its too dry to cover up my dry lips. So whenever I feel like putting them on, I always moisturize and scrub my lips before using them. The texture is a bit creamy, but not as creamy compared to my other moisturizing lipsticks. They are not so pigmented, I have to sweep several times to entirely cover my pigmented semi dark lips. It doesn't stay that long, I have to reapply it from time to time. It is not moisturizing, it tends to feel dry on my lips after few hours, so I always carry my lipbalm to rehydrate my lips every now and then.

So here's a preview of the products,

The cover's top is transparent so you can easily see the lipstick inside, easier to which shade you're going to pick up.

This is how they look like in the tube,

Here are the swatches on my hand. I swiped it around 3-4 times to get that color.

Now let me show you how it looks on my lips along with my almost natural make up look. Before that, let me show you the natural color of my lips. My shade is between NC35 and NC40.

So, here's Nude Attitude on my lips,

It washes me out, I think. I look like I am sick or something like that. I swiped several times to cover my natural lip color. It looks like I'm wearing a lip concealer instead of a lipstick. I don't used this alone, I use this if I wanted to copy the korean ombre lips, I just add a red lip tint in the inner lip on top of Nude Attitude.

And here's Sky Pink on my lips. I think, this is just a right nude color for my lips. It gives a bit of a color that is not soooo nude. It's just the right pink color to give life on my face. Good color for everyday look. :)

That's basically it. I don't like them nor hate them, just a so-so lipstick for me. If you want to grab these ones, always remember to moisturize your lips beforehand so it will glide easily and will look great on tour lips. Hope this post helped you even just a bit xp Let me know what you think of the Revlon Matte Lipsticks. I would loooove to hear 'em. And if you could recommend me good matte nude lipsticks, kindly comment down below so I could try them ^^ ciao~

Etude House Haul = Addiction~

Hey guys! So! As you can see in my title, I am soooo loving Etude House lately and yaah~ I bought a lot of stuff from October to December. Ugh~ I dunno! I just... erm love their products! :P Well except for one... I'll get into that in a little while...

Let me show you my "collection"... Among my makeup collection, I have more EH than TM (Tony Moly) and MM (MajolicaMajorca). To give you a quick knowledge, I tried TM products first before EH XD But! I love EH maaaaaaaaaaawrrrr~ LOL... So anyway, let's get it on.

                    

So yeah, that's my EH haul/collection for the month of October and November of 2012. XD

I soooooooo love this one! This was recommended to me by the sales lady at EH, Megamall. I really really want to make a review on this one. XD Coz it made wonders to my skin whenever I use it XD hihi... it comes with 3 "bottle" in one box. 1 bottle lasted for about a month or two on me.. coz i don't really regularly use it... XD heey~ it's just because I always forget... :P But if I wanted to redehydrate my skin for an upcoming event, this is a must! in my routine :P

naaaail poliesss~ i love the colors... the formulation is good. easy to apply. lasting power is uhm somewhat great. there are times that the product is easily peeled off on the tip part of my nails... but overall, they last long. :) cute colors too! <3

This powder is for my sister.. according to her, it's a good oil busting powder. ;) haven't tried it yet so i really can't say anything about it...

I use this for my inner tear ducts to have that cute eye look. ;) it works perfectly. But i don't use is as much. hehe~

This is a traveling kit that I got for freeeeeeee~! I love free items! XD well I purchased a total of 3,000Php for a single receipt that's why I got this box of goodies ^_^

This is perfect for a natural flush~ hihi it's the Lovely cookie blusher in #4 Carrot Cheesecake. I always use this! It's really cute and handy. Good for everyday look XD

My first eye primer ever~ it's a good primer.. well, it's the only one I have so I really can't compare. But it does its job pretty well :P

Silky Scarf Hair Treatment on the left, as we all know~ my hair is pretty... damaged coz of constant hair coloring, so to help my hair stay smooth and shiny, I apply this to my hair if I feel like my hair needs extra smoothness then wash it after a few minutes, and viola~ my hair is smooth and more manageable ^_^ and the Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit, well, I still prefer my Magic BB Cream because! just because this one leaves a white cast on my face. But! I must say, I don't have to reapply powder over and over again whenever I use this. Maybe I'll make a comparison post for my BB creams :)

I suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper love this eyebrow pencil. It's in gray coz I the brown one is always out of stock whenever I go to EH to buy new stuff. But this is just right for my eyebrows :) The 2 way system is really a wise thing to do. 2-in-1 is always better and handy, in my case.

hihi~ I only use this whenever I like to have that extra glow. It is the Dear My Blooming Cheek in OR201, and I tell you, the name says it all, it will make you look blooming and glowy ^_^ It's a good tool if you want to have that korean dewey look.

This! is a must have on my bag. Its jelly texture, orangie smell and taste (yuhhh~ it has a taste!) is just so perfect if you just want to have that natural lip tint. I guess jelly lip products won't make your lips dry, so this is a go go for me ^_^ hihi.. And I really love the color!

I already used it twice, and yeah. It helps my skin rejuvinate. I use this whenever I feel like my skin is all stressed out. Hihi... This leaves my skin smooth and refreshed.

I love love love this cleansing tissue! I always use this to remove my make up just before washing my face. It really removes my make up! and it smells good. It doesn't irritate my skin, in fact, it leaves my face moisturized and clean!

This one smells and tastes like peach! I really love peachy smells too. It gives my lips a subtle gloss while moisturizing it. This is always on my pocket and I just put a small amount on my lips and pucker it up whenever I feel my lips are getting dry.

My first ever set from EH. I really had this battle within me if I should buy it or not XD LOL. But I guess I shouldn't have ~_~ this cost around 1998Pho? Not sure... around that amount. Why am I regretting on getting it? It's not because the products are bad, but my skin won't just accept it ~_~ too bad... I've used 1 of the eye patch and I used the other items about 5 times only with small amounts since I'm afraid to take a big risk on my face. Hay~ It broke me out and my skin so sticky. Hay~ But nonetheless, they smell good and might work for people who doesn't have same skin type as mine. I'm oily to combination skin, acne prone and sensitive as well. So, yeah. I am planning on selling it at around 1500Php (negotiable) whoever wants to have it, or! I can trade it with anything you want to offer that will fit my skin type. Feel free to comment of message me ^_^ I still have the box and the products except for 1 eye patch/pack. The bottles are heavy and they're really glass bottles. So just pm me away if you want to have this. ^_^

Hmm... That's pretty much it! I might have missed some things, but if you're interested on knowing about the things I missed, feel free to ask me ^_^
