THE FACE | Cranberry & Gold Fall Makeup

I don't particularly wear a lot of opaque / bold eyeshadow look but this one is an exemption! At the back of mind, I was thinking of doing a one shadow smokey eye but it turned into something else! That's the beauty of makeup. 

THE FACE: Go-to work game face

Now that the weather has warmed up and the sun is always out, I've switched out a few of my makeup products that is more suitable to current weather. Also these are the products that I can just grab and quickly apply in a early start!

What's In My Travel Makeup Bag?

Two weeks ago, I did an unplanned trip back to Philippines for funeral. It was a good as I haven't been home for the longest time, bad because of the reason why I decided to finally go back to visit. I find packing makeup products challenging! As much as I wanted to bring all my favorite ones on board, I have to also think of products that has double purpose since it was only a ten day trip.

THE FACE: Back with the Old

It has been awhile since I did this series in my blog. Recently, I have been reorganising my makeup drawers. To my surprise, I found products that I love that I used to love when I was just getting into makeup. If you are a makeup lover/hoarder, you start to accumulate products and get with the trend you forget the products that used to be your jam.

THREE IN ONE BASE

I have been on a minimal makeup kick lately. It has something to do with waking up at 5 in the morning and try to do quick makeup within10 minutes! The struggle is real! Thank goodness to makeup innovations for coming up with a base that contains everything you could possibly need for everyday wear.

Get your 'FLIRT' It On

Lipstick is one of my favorite makeup to buy. It offers a wide selection of color range and you can find whatever shade you desire that matches your skin tone. However, liquid lipstick is not really my thing. I find that they tend to bleed and feather because of how creamy and glossy the formula can be. 

Protective Summer Base

Now that it is the peek of summer down under, it gets hotter and more humid every day. Finding a foundation that won't slip and slide especially for my oily skin girls is hard. I use the Garnier BB Cream and it works great but the only downside is the color match. It tends to come out real pink against my skin tone, so I put it back to my inventory. 

Beauty Grabs: ChiChi Cosmetics

After so many months of ignoring this brand, I finally gave in! Chi Chi Cosmetics is an Australian brand available to both Australia and New Zealand. It is one of those drugstore brands that is underrated and never talked about, up until recently.

THE FACE: ChiChi Super BB Cream

Currently trying out a new base from Chi Chi cosmetics. It's their Super BB Cream which I reckon is more of a foundation than BB cream. Dominique Amor and Jessica Wyatt have used this product a couple of times then saw fellow Australian beauty Instagram user post about this BB Cream.

It is one of those product where social media made you buy! The coverage is medium to full, not only that it also is beneficial for your skin (i.e anti aging, moisture, and SPF). My only complaint would be the florally scent which puts me off but it wears off after a couple of hours. Other than that, I'd say that it is one of the great drugstore product and totally worth a try.
