Yes, that’s quite a lot and yes, those are the products I have used up so far. I’ve been on a hiatus when it comes to buying make up because I really have a lot of products that I have to finish or else they would expire.

Let’s go through the products one by one. :)

1. Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Toffee Cream and Coral Pink (Php 199)

      I’ve had this lipstick for quite some time and finally I’ve already used it up. Among all the color sensational shades, these two are my favorite. :)

2. The Body Shop Matte & Shimmer Cheek Color

     I’m not really sure how much these are because these were just given to me by a friend. It’s supposed to be for the cheeks but I’ve used it more often as an eye shadow.

3. In2it Sheer Shine Lipstick

     I don’t know what the shade is but it’s in the pink family. I love love love it. I’m very careful when it comes to choosing pink shades because it just doesn’t look good on me… but guess what, this is the only one that I can bravely wear.

4. Beauty Touch Cover Up Express in Light Medium

     Okay this is another gift from a friend so I don’t really know where she got it and for how much. This is not really in my shade but I use to conceal my undereye circles and it really works for me. :)

5. Elizabeth Arden Lip Gloss in Pink Pout

     This is from my dearest aunt. Hehe. Okay, I haven’t used it all up but it’s already dry and… well, sadly, this has to go. :(

6. 2True Glossy Wear Nail Polish in Shade No. 6 and The Face Shop Nail Color in PK106. 

     I should be checking on my nail polish every now and then. Again, these two, I have completely neglected. :(

7. Beauty Treats Defining Mascara

      Another product that I have to throw out even though I haven’t used it that much. Hay. :(

8. EOS Lip Balm

     One of my favorite lip balms. :)

9. Chanel Vitalumiere Eclat Compact Powder

    This is something that I keep on wishing to not run out. Oh well.

10. Etude House Color My Brows 

     Hard to use at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s definitely gonna make your brows look perfect. :)

So those are all the products that I have used up. If you do have questions about the products I mentioned, feel free to ask.

There’s an end to all pain and suffering. We don’t really know when it will happen but we’ll wake up one day and feel that it doesn’t hurt anymore. Even if we don’t want to, time will come that our wounds would heal, we’ll learn to forgive, we’ll let go and move on.

Name: James Cooper Jazzy Collection Cream Foundation
Price: Php550
Shade: CF-05. They have 6 shades available. CF-01 being the lightest to CF-06 being the darkest.
Where to Buy: Watsons, SM Department Stores. 

I use this foundation everyday and it gives me the most flawless natural look. I love how even my complexion looks like when I use this. It gives the right amount of coverage for an everyday look but if you want more coverage, I suggest you apply two layers of it or you might want to use a sponge instead of a foundation brush.

It’s also very easy to blend. If you don’t like applying foundation on your face, you can just use this as a concealer. It’s perfect for concealing undereye circles. Trust me, I have the worst undereye circles but it does a perfect job on hiding it. 

Since my skin is oily, I have to set it with a pressed powder but for those who have dry skin, there’s no need.

So that’s it for today. Till my next post! :)

My holy grail!! This is the best Garnier product I’ve ever tried!

You should see me without any make up on and I assure you, the first thing you’d notice is my dark under eye circles. It’s my biggest problem that’s why I’m always on the look out for good eye creams and concealers. I haven’t found an eye cream that I could probably use forever but I have tried lots of it… and still I haven’t found “the one”.

The very first time that I used this product, I already fell in love with it. I apply this after putting moisturizer on my face. And then I put on my foundation and then the concealer. (I’d share to you my new foundation routine some other time.) I usually bring my concealer with me to touch up in the middle of the day. Now I just bring this and I assure you, it could make your eyes look instantly fresh and awake. I’m not sure if this could actually lighten dark circles after using it for some time since I just got this recently but I will update y’all with that.

So here’s how I use it: Like what I said a while ago, I use this before applying my whole foundation routine. I only use my concealer (for under eyes) once. And then for the rest of the day, this is the only thing that I would use for touching up. All you gotta do is roll it on the eye are and then using your ring finger, gently tap it to blend. Don’t worry coz it’s really easy to blend. Even if I have powder on, I still use this on top of that and it doesn’t crease, it doesn’t look like I’ve put on a lot of concealer and it doesn’t look obvious that I was trying to hide my dark circles. Sometimes I even put a little on my lids just so my skin in the eye area would look even.

So yeah, I highly recommend to all of you this product. Also it only costs Php 229 - just the right price for a very effective product.
