MAY FAVORITES + REVIEWS | BEAUTY

Brace yourself for another monthly favorites, okii? This has been a tradition for my blog to post my monthly favorites since I started and I don't want to break the chain of doing this. I just wanted to share the things that I used a lot and you guys might want to check it out and trying them as well! And on this month, I'll be reviewing my favorite makeup products. I am not just showing them but I'll also give my thoughts about it. You're welcome! 😘

MAKEUP ITEMS


BENEFIT BENETINT
If you guys know, I've been raving to have this tint because of it's rose scent. I swatched it before at a Benefit counter at Megamall and I super loved the pigmentation of it. But now that I have it, I noticed that it's not that pigmented. The rose scent is still there and it's still my favorite although I find other liptints better.

 Price: ₱1600 for the full size at Benefit counters or at Sephora.
Staying Power: 3/5
Packaging: 4/5
User - Friendliness: 5/5
Overall: 4/5
Will repurchase? Hmm, maybe. I still love it anyway. Plus, Benefit is my favorite.
BELO SUNSCREEN
If you guys are from the Philippines, you would probably understand why a sunscreen is a must. The weather is getting worse everyday, it's super hot and I can't let myself go out without protection. I used this a lot even if I only have the sample size, I super love it. This has SPF 50! 🙌

 Price: around ₱500 for the full size at Supermarkets.
Staying power: 4/5
Packaging: 4/5
User - Friendliness: 5/5
Overall: 5/5
Will repurchase: Definitely. 💓
AVON TRUE COLOR PERFECTLY MATTE LIPSTICK
Oooh, what a long name. This is the first lipstick that I never thought of keeping aeay from the vanity, I super love it! The scent is so sweet but it has no taste which is a +1 to me. I'm in the shade 'coral fever' which basically looks like a striking red color. It is a bit expensive for those who are looking on a tight budget. 

Price: ₱299.00 at Avon
Staying Power: 4/5
Packaging: 5/5
User - Friendliness: 4/5
Overall: 4.5/5
Will repurchase: No.


BYS STROBBING STICK ILLUMINATOR
I love how this illuminator gives a natural glow in my face. I usually mix it with my Benefit Sun Beam Highlighter for a more glowy look, and I am just mesmerized with it's performance on my face. Btw, it's rotatable and you can consume the whole product.

Price: ₱299.00 at SM Department Stores.
Staying Power: 2.5/5
Packaging: 3/5
User - Friendliness: 3.5/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Will repurchase: Yes.

BENEFIT KA-BROW
I got this as a free from my previous workshop at Benefit Megamall and I wasn't able to see that the shade that was given to me was wrong. They gave me their lightest shade which is #1, but I still found a way to use this. I apply this after my usual eyebrow application, just to make it stay longer. This claims to be waterproof and can stay for 24 hours. And I agree with it, totally!

 Price: ₱1600.00 for the full size at Benefit counters or at Sephora.
Staying power: 5/5
Packaging: 4.5/5
User - friendliness: 4/5
Overall: 4/5
Will repurchase: No. 

 Disclaimer: This isn't a full review, I'll be doing a full review on each of my makeups soon. I'll just test them all out!

---

That's all!!! The weather here in the Philippines is so bad, I can't work testing and reviewing my makeups and I have so much stuff do at home.

Btw, my classes will start by June 29, 2017. So I still have 27 days to plan my future schedules and posts, I hope I could make this work!

NEW SKINCARE - V&M NATURALS

Image
As a makeup and skincare junkee, I always want to have something new to try. When I attended TBJ 9th Mega Anniversary last Saturday, May 19, 2018, I got this loot of V&M Naturals skincare in my beauty bag. (Thanks, TBJ!) Before that event I was thinking of buying skincare from them especially their facial oils because I've heard many good things about it from Filipino Beauty Gurus. Here is the V&M Naturals skincare that was included in my beauty bag: It includes 2 Body Sorbets, 1 Lip Polish, 1 Perfume, 1 Facial Oil, and 1 Lip Balm. When I saw these skincare items inside my beauty bag I nearly jumped in happiness because these are really the skincare that I am looking forward to try. The packaging, the prices, the effectiveness are really the reason that I need these!  Here are individual photos of the loot: BODY SORBETS The 2 body sorbets are in Smother Me and Bare It All that has minty scent. I haven't tried using this on my skin but I...

Manila Sundance Bazaar / Patches & Pins to Love, from Jukaykay

Image
My feet dragged me last sunday to the best bazaar I've ever went. YAY. Okay so, I went to Manila Sundance Bazaar Summer Flair last week (Mar. 26 , 2017) to check out their amazing brands. The ticket was ₱50.00 and guess what I am already there when the mall opened. PS: I knew lines would be that long so I went earlier than expected. The bazaar was cool and they have raffles, games, and some other stuff which made the bazaar more exciting. I've been eyeing Jukaykay for so many months and I know it's hard to order on them through online so the only way for me to purchase to them is to visit MBS. I purchased some patches and pins from Jukaykay and here they are: The prices for the patches ranges from ₱15.00 to ₱30.00 depending on the size. For the pins, the prices are ₱15.00 for laminated pins and ₱30.00 for not. Was it worth the money?? Yes, especially for the pins because you can put it on any top you would like, and I'll definitely purchase more on...
