Tag: Skin Care Routine

Eloisa wanted to know how I get "good skin" so, I decided to show you guys my skin care routine.

I said "good skin" because I'm really not acne prone so, my skin is the way it is. I get the occasional once-a-month zit during that time of the month but otherwise, my face is pretty clear. So, I don't know how much help this would be to you all but I do hope it helps even just a little bit.

Second of all, I really don't need to use all this products. I would actually choose just to cleanse, tone and moisturize, which are the only steps you really need to do.

But as some of you may have read from my past hauls, I won a lot of skin care items and I just included them into my skin care routine cause I didn't want to waste them.

So, with all those said, let's move on to my skin care routine.

Tag: Travel Make-Up and Skin Care Necessities Bag(s)

Hi!

Last 23rd-24th of January, I went to Cebu with my mom and aunts and I thought I'd show you what I brought in terms of cosmetics and all that.

Here are the pouches that I brought.

First, let's look inside the main makeup bag.

So, inside, I have the following things:

1. Wet N Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer [Review Here]
2. Ever Bilena Makeup Stick
3. Random Face Powder Refill (in the pocket)
4. Nichido Professional Kabuki Brush (in the pouch) [Review Here]
5. D.I.Y. Primer [Video Here]
6. Aido Lite Kit Makeup Palette
7. Ever Bilena Eye Liner Pencil
8. e.l.f. Mechanical Eye Lash Curler
9. Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume
10. The Face Shop Color Full Lip Palette

Then, I brought my brush set from Elianto.

Here's what's inside it:

1. Elianto Face Brush (Ugh!)
2. Elianto Contour Brush (Ugh!)
3. Elianto Fluffy Shader Brush
4. Marionnaud Pencil Brush
5. Elianto Fluffy Angled Brush

Here's what's in the next pouch:

1. Pond's Cold Cream
2. Extra Premium Facial Puff (This came free with our tissue roll pack)

Lastly, I accidentally deleted the picture I took of the contents of this pouch so, you'll just have to trust what I say. :))

1. Pond's Facial Wash (I forgot the whole name, but it's the black one that you can see here. Click!)
2. My Toothbrush which is stained blue. :( (Click! to find out why)
3. Lactacyd for my lady parts!

Memorable quote from our trip to Cebu:

"Ano ba yan, yung pedestrian lane parang design lang ata nila yan sa floor eh. Kahit na tatawid ka na, bibilisan parin nila!"

Tag: My Go to Products

Hello! :D

So, my Hongky (person from Hong Kong) friend on YouTube, Ashley, did this tag video and I thought that I'd do it too!

So, basically, you have to post your go to products for each makeup category!

FIRST: FOUNDATION

I don't use foundation, however I do use tinted moisturizer. This is the one I've been using since the end of December 2010. It's the Wet n Wild Ultimate Sheer tinted moisturizer. I don't like it very much. I have a review on this product here. But I totally prefer the e.l.f. tinted moisturizer.

SECOND: CONCEALER

I actually use two different concealers.

I use the Ever Bilena Makeup Stick (still in its old packaging) for my under-eye circles. I think this product was meant to be a foundation stick or something but the shade that I got (501) was too light for me so I use it as an under-eye concealer 'cause it sort of brightens it up.

And then, I use the Ever Bilena Advance Concealer for blemishes. This concealer matches me lots better than the Ever Bilena Makeup Stick so it would do a much better job of blending the blemishes into my skin.

THIRD: POWDER

There's actually a story behind why I use this lonely refill tin as my powder. I used to use the Maybelline Shine-Free Face Powder as my powder then, I ran out of it. So, I wanted to repurchase but there were two factors stopping me from doing that.

1. I found out that Maybelline tests on animals. :(

2. I thought that I should just find a refill to put in the Maybelline compact.

Being the tree-hugger, animal-lover that I am, I couldn't stomach buying from a company that tests on animals and I couldn't bear the thought of throwing a perfectly good compact.

So, I went to Watson's and looked for a refill. I bought this one assuming that they have a standardized size for powders. Apparently not. Now I'm left with this tin of powder to use.

I went on the Watson's website to look for the name of this product but I couldn't find it.

*ahem* bogus website *ahem*

(I mean does Watson's really carry the Make Up Forever line?? It's all up on their website :-| )

Anyways, the most that I can tell you about this product is that it comes in a tiny red/pink box and that I bought it for Php60.

FOURTH: EYE PRIMER

Back when I was starting out with makeup and e.l.f. still hasn't come out with their eyeshadow primer (which is supposed to be amazing), I was looking for a cheap eyeshadow primer but I couldn't find any.

So, being the resourceful little girl that I am, I looked up "how to make your own eye shadow primer" on YouTube and I followed it and I came up with this. It's pretty decent so, I didn't feel the need to purchase one anymore.

FIFTH: EYE SHADOW

For the lid color, I use the powder that came in my Aido Lite Kit that I purchased from Watson's centuries ago. It's too orange toned to use as a powder so I use it as my shadow instead. It works awesome.

And since I use the two-shadow look almost everyday, I don't use a crease color that often.

For the brow bone highlight, I use this color from the same Aido Light Kit.

SIXTH: LINER

Again, I don't really line my upper lash line. I only do my tight line and for that, I use the Ever Bilena Color Pencil in Black. It's a pretty decent eye liner.

Oh, and by now, you might be wondering why I have a ton of Ever Bilena items here. Well, that's cause we had a fashion show almost a year ago and Ever Bilena sponsored us so, we got to keep a few of the makeup items.

SEVENTH: MASCARA

The mascara that I use is the Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume. I know, I know. Cover Girl does animal testing. But when my aunt told my uncle to buy her a mascara from Costco, he got this and it came in packs of three so, my aunt gave one to me. It would be rude to say no.

So, that's my excuse.

EIGHTH: BLUSH

I use the Maybelline Brush Blush in 04 Watermelon and again, another animal testing company. My excuse for this one is that my friend's mom gave it to me. Again, I didn't want to be rude, yadda yadda.

NINTH: HIGHLIGHT

I use the MIKI roll on shimmer in Green. It works awesomely to counteract the redness in the cheeks. This does have the tendency to be overly shimmery when applied... overly.

TENTH: LIP PRODUCT

Now, I do use lipsticks and lip glosses but I like none of them enough to give them the title of my Go To Lipstick/Lip Gloss so, I just decided to put my Nivea Fruity Shine in Strawberry for this one.

I don't know if you guys can see but it has shimmers inside it and it leaves a nice strawberry tint to the lips so, putting this over bare lips would give a nice wash of natural color. :)

ELEVENTH: BRUSH

OHMYGOSH! Can everyone just go out and buy the Nichido Kabuki Brush right now? If you are not extremely satisfied with it, I'm gonna give you your money back from my own pocket...

Not really.

But this is such an AWESOME "drugstore" kabuki. It's so soft (even though the hair is synthetic) and so, EVERYTHING. Click here for a review on this.

So, yeah! I'll put the categories below so you guys can do this too if you'd want. I tweaked the categories a bit to suit myself better.

Sorry for the long post! :-/ I hope you guys don't hate me now.

So, yeah! That's kinda it!
