(My camera just got back from its hospital, Sony Service Center, so expect better pics to come!)
So what's your take on make-up? I appreciate natural beauty and I think there's nothing better than how a woman looks like after a good night sleep. Agree? On the other hand, I cannot claim for a flawless face, so I would still need some help and my make-up kit will always be my beauty buddy.
To keep things simple, I owe this make-up organizer I got from SM department store for keeping all my stuff in an orderly position. All these stuff used to be messing my bag and this make-up organizer saved me from a lot of trouble.
What's Inside?
Revlon Colorstay Mineral foundation
What I love about Revlon, aside from being a mineral makeup, is that they have a wide range of shades for their foundation. Right now, I'm using the Medium Deep (70). Prior to that, I was a big fan of Maybelline Mineral Foundation Deep Ochre until they decided to pull it out from the market. I had to look for another brand with the best shade to match my skin and unfortunately, I went for Covergirl Trublend Microminerals that caused me nothing but zits! That's the time I decided to try Revlon. Despite the good reviews, I was a bit hesitant at first because I was really not into spending too much for make up and Revlon is a bit pricey than Maybeline and Covergirl. But if we talk about quality and quantity, then Revlon is worth spending for...Oh but don't expect too much on the brush because it tends to leave its bristles on my face when I use it for applying. Nonetheless, I think this is the best among the 3 brands I've tried.Max Factor Concealer
Maybelline Pressed Powder
This is the usual product seen on tv and what I love about it is that it has the SPF to add up with my mineral foundation and it really lives up to the clear smooth finish that it claims. My problem with it, however, is that it looks awful in pictures. It gives me this ghostly white look especially when I'm using a poor camera or the camera isn't set on the proper mode. Tell me if you have the same experience or feel free to suggest a better brand.
Maybelline Unstoppable Curly Extension
It's waterproof. It's giving my eyelashes the best boost. It's perfect for people like me with very short eyelashes...but you won't find me wearing it daily because the removing part is a little bit tedious..haha
Liquid Eyeliner
I wasn't blessed with eyes that naturally pop, so I can say I'm done with my daily make-up routine when I have my liquid eyeliner. I'm not particular with the brand as long as it's liquid and dries up quickly. What you can see above is from Everbilena, although I would suggest the version of Fashion 21 because it has softer thin brush and it lasts longer.
Lipstick, lipstick and lipstick
Lately, I'm really obsessing with lipstick and nothing beats the statement of a hot lips. On a regular day, meaning I'm in the mood but it's work day baby!, I choose Maybeline's Cosy Tangerine for its natural looking shade. I go for Revlon's Ruby whenever I need to manipulate somebody (hahahha..kidding!) or just to simply glam up any attire, regardless if it's my office uniform or my latest dress from the thrift. The New Pink from Lancome is a pasalubong from my Mom and it's not really my favorite, but I love how it compliments all the violets and pinks in my closet. Lastly, my newest baby is the Soft Nude from Revlon. Pair it with bold eyes and there I go! I feel like a model from the glossy magazines.. Hahaha.. but hub finds the color a little different...
And for my "lips like sugar" complements, I have my Nivea Lip Balm, Lancome and Victoria Lip Gloss and Nichido Lip Stain.
