Finding the right concealer that can hide skin imperfection is a challenge. Most of the concealer products available have limited shades that are either too dark or too light. When I got this Cinema Secrets Concealer Palette I was so excited to try it out immediately as I’ve seen how Cinema Secret products are highly recommended and used by makeup artist worldwide and can definitely hide skin imperfections well using their makeup products.

Product Shots of the Cinema Secrets Concealter Palette 300 Series

Swatches

From L-R:  Concealer #602-65 , #603-21, #605-61, #606-26 amd #607-19




On my face
I used the Concealer #603-61 to cover the blemish on my face

What I think about it?

• I’m impressed its very pigmented so one layer or one spread goes further.
• I love how it covers like a thin second skin and provides a soft natural matte finish.
• Unlike any other concealer I’ve tried it does not cake or crease! Amazing!
• I also love the fact that its water resistant and does not stain clothes! Love love love this concealer palette!
• I found out that makeup and prosthetic artist use this concealer to hide tattoos!

I think I found my ultimate HG concealer that I will use for the rest of my life! Haha!

How about you? What concealer do you use? Have you tried Cinema Secrets?

Cinema Secrets can be found in Landmark department stores at the cosmetic department or at Quezon Ave. cor. Cordillera St. Quezon City. Follow them on Facebook, they are holding a Chinese New Year contest now.

Stay gorgeous everyone!

There’s nothing wrong in doing things that will enhance your good luck in this world. Here’s some tips I gathered frim Feng Shui experts that will help enhance and bring you good luck for the brand new year. The tip applies whatever Chinese Sign you falls under (Dragon, Snake, Horse, Rabbit, Rat, Rooster, Monkey, Ox, Dog, Pig, Tiger, Sheep)

For those who are born under the compatible:
Do a pomelo rinse from head to toe after bathing. Peel the skin of a pomelo and simmer for a few minutes then use it our final bath rinse ( after cooling it off)

For those born under the incompatible signs:
Do a salt rinse from head to toe after bathing. Add three tablespoon of salt on your final bath rinse.

Make sure to take a bath before 11:00pm of the night before the Chinese New Year (on this year’s case for example bathing is allowed until January 22, 2012 10:59pm ) Don’t take a bath in the Chinese New Year day itself until 10:59pm after that you can bath. If its unavoidable to bath make sure not to wet your head.

Wear new slippers.
Wear new underwear and freshly laundered pajamas when you sleep on night before and day of the Chinese New Year.
Wear new clothes with fire colors (red is top choice, gold and orange is ok too)
Always wear a smile and avoid getting mad or have any arguments with anyone on this day. If someone annoys you let it pass.

FYI: New doesn’t necessarily mean brand new, freshly laundered clothes and underwear is acceptable as well)

Make sure to have angpao (red envelope with luck money) on your pockets to welcome the Chinese New Year.

If you want to get a haircut better do it befire 11am day befire the CNY.

Be careful when ridingGas Scooters and make sure to wear a helmet. Road accidents can happen. Better safe than sorry.

Smile, its free.

Stay gorgeous everyone!

There won’t be a giant turtle or a Darth Vader hotair balloons this year from the 15th and 16th festival but it sure is gonna be a giant birthday party this year as we expect a giant birhday cake and ice cream cone along with a car, sunkist, Miss Lilly and Iwi the Kiwi flying high! There wil be more sky divers and paragliders this year from Malaysia, Spain, Australia, Turkey and of course Philippines!

I’m also happy about the activity area for kids by Crayola and Hotdog on Sticks. Kids will be taught kite making, flight simulations and other aviation workshops.

Why do some prominent websites around the world like Wikipedia, Flickr, Go Daddy, Ebay, Google, Amazon are going offline, turns black , inaccessible or redirects you to some dark website the past few days and today Jan.18. 2012? This are all in support of the protest against the impending U.S. Legislation the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Internet IP Address Act (PIPA).

Why are they against SOPA and PIPA:
1. These bills have the potential to stifle innovation, require censorship of search results, impose monitoring obligations, and change the way information is distributed on the web.
2. Both are designed to address a legitimate problem – foreign-based websites that are engaging in digital piracy and trafficking in counterfeit goods.  Unfortunately, we and many others believe that these bills miss the mark. 

Generally, both acts want to penalize everyone for using the internet and mke it one of the U.S. Government’s milking cow that will eventually lead to the death of the free use of sharing information and innovation online that will KILL THE INTERNET! I may not be a U.S. Citizen but I am a netizen who will be affected by this in a huge way. Because of that, I do not support SOPA and PIPA!

The U.S. Congress will hold a presscon on January 19, 2012 regarding both pending bills. Netizens, speak out and let your voices be heard! STOP SOPA. STOP PIPA NOW! Visit protectinnovation.com and netcoalition.com for more information.

Here is a chart by netcoalition.com giving us an overview of the benefits of SOPA and PIPA:

I’m sure most of you got all sorts of “generic” gifts last Christmas. When I say generic gift I mean gifts that can be given away to anyone and the receiver can use it regardless of gender. Bath and Body products are of those and I got a handful of them. Here’s some of the Bath and Body products you can try out this 2012:

All the pale to cool snow-inspired hues of white that reigned the red carpet during the 2012 Golden Globe Awards night can set the trend and inspiration for the upcoming styles of wedding gowns of 2012. Only a few dared to be bold as colors, glitters and lace were used as accesories or accents to their wardrobe.

Who wore The 2012 Golden Globe Awards Hot White Gown Trend

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ( Brangelina) was said to be the King and Queen of the night! Angelina was wearing a satin white Versace Atelier skin tight dress with a red accent, lips and Brad by her side. Brad was sporting this bushy f tace I now see everywhere (ack!) and a cain because of an injury.

Elle McPherson was wearing this dramatic strapless dress with fishtail train. For some pop of colors she wore colorful and chunky bracelets.

Before the year 2011 ended I recieved a lot of lip products to play with and use like I have more than one set of lips to change lip glosses or lipstick color mirning noon and night! This post is dedicated to all the lip products I got from Benefit Cosmetics, Penshoppe, Human Nature, and Ashleys, I hope you will find it useful in choosing the right lip gloss that suits your lyfestyle.

Benefit Cosmetics Lip Gloss Brilliant in I’m With the Band

I think the shade was named like thay because aside from the shimmer there’s also a glitter effect in it. The tint is a rocking hot fuscia/hot pink and somehow it has a plumping effect too. It’s well tinted and thick, smells nice and sticky bit not greasy or annoying. It also have a softening effect kinda moisturizing on your lips.

Penshoppe Color Hydradiance Tinted Lip Gloss in Kiss

Compared to other lip gloss that is glossy, this one is kinda matte but has a moisturizing and softening effect. The tint is just right to give your lips a natural red or pink shade. It’s unscented so perfect for those who just need moisturizing and color on then this one is for you.

Human Nature Island Kiss Lip Gloss

Those who know the brand also know that most of their products are organic and have herbal benefits. I can feel the hydrating and softening effect it has on my lips. The gloss is just right. It is not sticky or greasy nd smells a bit minty. Perfect to use on a cool drying weather.

Ashley’s Strawberries and Candies Moisturizing Lip Gloss

I believe that among the many things a customer look for in a product before they buy them is the packaging. Who would think that this cute keychain like mini cake is actually a lipgloss. I smell some strawberries and a bit of wax but its okay. Gloss is usual and the feel is.like any ordinary lipgloss out there.

Penshoppe Color Hydradiance Lipstick in Siren

Those who like naturally shaded lipstick and as tan ase will love this lipstick. It is very moisturized and well tinted. A little glossy but not too much. Good news is its just a little over Php140.00 each.

How about you ladires have you tried any of the above lippies? Which among them is your favorie?

Stay gorgeous everyone!

This is also known as The Gwen Steffani look because she loves to wear this hairstyle from her No Doubt days until she decided to go solo. You would.need to use a hairspray or tease your hair so hard that it can stand alone, but my way is not that harsh, all you need is a rubber band and hairpin and you are good to go (hairspray is optional)

How to do The Bump It Hairdo:

Step 1: Gather top of your hair (crown area) and tie using a rubberhairband. Make sure to tie hair loosely to give way for the next step.

Step 2: Push hair forward to the center of crown to create the bump. When you get the height of the bump you want secure in place with the hair pin or hair clip.

Tada!

If you want a stronger hold og your bump use hairspray. If scated to use such keep it as is. Make sure you put tge hair pin on the right places so your hill won’t fall out.

That’s it!

I hope you can try out this look one of these days and tell me how it was for you.

Stay gorgeous everyone!

It was my daughter’s 10th birthday yesterday, and instead of holding a party for her I decided to bring her to SM Mall of Asia’s Eye, the Philippines biggest ferris wheel to date, that can be found at the SM M.O.A. AMUSEMENT park along seaside boulevard Pasay City.

The MOA eye was pleasing to the eye from afar. It’s so huge and spectacular. My daughter likes heights so I am definite she will love it.

They said the ride takes about 10 minutes to complete the circle.

Well, I didn’t think that took us 10 minutes and I was disappointed that the windows were dirty I was not abke to take clear shots of the view.

If you plan to take shot for the scenery you will be disappointed of the dirty windows.

Its best to go there just as soon as the sun sets so you can get a nice shot if the changing colors of dim and light and the golden Manila Bay!

Riding the MOA Eye is something to do once but wouldn’t do it again, unless the phase of the ride speeds a little and instead of just one round nake it two! I also hope they clean the windows everyday!

But inspite of my criticism, my daughter tasha enjoyed the MOA Eye ride and all other rides at the MOA Amusement Park. I recommend you take your kids there each ride costs Php50.00. The WOW Balls is Php100.00 while the Zip Line is Php150.00. There are tons of restaurants and food choices along the bay area so there is something for everyobe to enjoy.

Truly, #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines !

It was the first time in many years that I forgat to bring along with me any makeup (facepowder, eyeliner,lipstick or even just a lipgloss!) to do a re-touch as I go along my day shopping yesterday! But I was surprised how my face didn’t get oily or dragged out despite a long walk from GT Towers in Makati to Greenbelt5! I would have to give credit to the the face powder I used before leaving the house.

Without the face powder my face was shiny and oily

On my face

What I think of it?
I love how it gives a matte finish but doesn’t make my skin feel tight or dry.
I have colds so I can’t say anything about the vanila scent.
It lasted me the whole day and night I was out so definitely the Nature Republic Vanila Sky Pact delivers!
I love how it looks good and gives an even tone on my skin even if I was using an HD camera! I’m not sure how much it cost but its somewhere around Php300-Php500.

Do I recommend this product?
Yes! People with oily skin will love this pact because of its matte finish without making your skin look dehydrated or feel dry. Its perfect for the unpredictable weather and temperature we have in the Philippines, roadtesting it literally proves its worth! I love it!
