Glow with your besties this Christmas with Cute Press’ makeup kits: Review

December 18, 2023 No Comments

The season of joy and gifting is upon us once again, and what better way to celebrate the festivities than to give back to our friends and loved ones?

Every year, I rack my brains to come up with practical, functional, and affordable presents for my friends – gifts that all my girlies would enjoy without breaking my bank. And I’m sure by now your calendar is starting to fill up with Christmas dinner plans that would probably require some gifting options. How about giving the gift of glow and fun with Cute Press’ holiday makeup collection?

Preserving hummingbirds’ habitats with Chantecaille Spring 2020 Makeup Collection: Review, Swatches & Makeup Look

March 13, 2020 No Comments

What better way to welcome Spring than with the Chantecaille Spring 2020 Makeup Collection? Whenever Chantecaille comes up with a makeup collection, I get every excited. I get overly eager not just because of the products but also the brand’s conservation initiatives. How many beauty brands in the market actively give back to the community and the environment on a daily basis? Well, we don’t know but one thing’s for sure: each and every of Chantecaille’s Limited Edition collection (and the Lip Veil collection) supports some animal/plant conservation efforts.

For Spring 2020, we zoom in to the hummingbird’s natural rainforest habitat. We look into giving back to the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) as they work to preserve these birds’ habitats and homes.

Luxurious lips with Tom Ford Lip Lacquer Luxe Matte/Vinyl: Review

April 7, 2019 No Comments

If there is only one beauty brand I can use for the rest of my life, it would be Tom Ford Beauty. I first fell in love with the brand for its lipsticks. One of the first few luxury lipsticks I bought was the Tom Ford Lip Color Shine in Willful. I didn’t know much about TF’s lipsticks, but I really wanted to own one because of the luxe packaging. Then I remember being disappointed at how the lipstick didn’t have the iconic “TF” engraving, haha! Fast forward many years now, I’m finding myself falling deeper in love with the brand.

Whenever Tom Ford Beauty launches something, I get all excited! You can be assured of the packaging, quality and texture of the products. Recently, a new line of liquid lipsticks has been populating my vanity table and it’s the Tom Ford Lip Lacquer Luxe, both Matte and Vinyl.

Get Matte with Too Faced Peach Kiss Moisture Matte Long Wear Lipstick: Review, Swatches & Makeup Look

December 6, 2018 No Comments

Are you mad about matte? Well, I am!

Matte lipsticks are sprouting everywhere from the beauty brands in the market. I say that it’s a lip trend that will stay for a while more before someone decides to bring back the gloss and shine. It’s easy to find a matte lipstick in the market but often challenging finding one that doesn’t dry out the lips.

I have very dry lips but I love a matte lip look and Too Faced has the right formula for me with its Peach Kiss Moisture Matte Long Wear Lipstick!
