My First Personal Purchase with DollFace Cosmetics

I got a new palette from DollFace... the 42 color matte eyeshadow and blush palette. Initially, I wanted to order their blush palette. But when I saw the 42 color palette, I felt the eagerness to order it. So I did.

It was actually my first time to order with dollface. I mean, I have their 88 color palette and their lip palette, but these I got from my friend. So this time, I personally transacted with DollFace. I was so makulit as a customer, I know, but it's because I'm so excited to get my order and also I'm afraid that it might get broken in the courier (since i know that this kind of transactions, do not declaire value). I placed my order last wednesday, thru text. I really dont wanna do the online ordering thing, it's too much hassle for me.:) So after cofirming my order, I made the payment the following day. And, as a policy from dollface, all paid orders will be shipped the follwing day, so my order was actually sent to me last friday. And guess what, today, Saturday, the courier came. The turn around time was so fast, and everything happened as what I have expected it.





After getting hand of the package, I immediately open it and I was so surprised to see how well it was protected... here's how many bubble wrap it has....











see... that's why my make up arrived safely and not even one scratch....





I can't wait to try my new baby and I will definitely make a review about it... I so love doing business with DollFace. I will surely become one of their regular clients... I actually have a list of make up that i'll be ordering soon.

Review: QUICK and CLEAN BLEMISH BALM CREAM from FACESHOP

Lately, I've been hearing a lot of ranting and raving for BB Creams (Blemish Balm Cream). And as a make-up junkie, I became curious on what this BB cream is. I tried searching the net for a recommendation. And also, I try to look for people who actually uses BB Creams. One common brand that I do get recommendation is MISHA ( I hope I spelled it right). A friend of mine s using this and the feedback is ok. But I can't seem to find here in the Philippines this brand. Well, they do sell it online (in multiply), but it havs various types. And as a first timer with BB Creams,I prefer to feel it before i decide to use it over my face. So I went to
different beauty shops in glorietta (Body Shop, Skin food and face Shop). But the one that interest me if from my favorite shop... FACESHOP.

The sales attendant actually offered 2 BB Creams to me. But since its my first time to try such product, I decided to get the cheaper one. It is the Quick and Clean Oil-Free Blemish Balm Cream. So here goes my review...



Packaging wise, not that eye catching. It's a plain green tube with white prints. In terms of content, it's a tinted cream that is usually darker than the foundation that I use but once you blend it with your skin, it looks so natural. But it smells really organic. I men, i love it because it tells me that it's made of natural ingredients. But what I really love about this is that, it really makes my skin looks and feels smoother. I have a pimple mark on my nose, it's very visible even if i try to conceal it. But after using my BB cream, I notice that my blemish lightens and it can now be easily covered by my concealer.

I really love this BB cream because it saves me time. Before, I use to put a lot on my skin (after washing, toner, moisturizer, sunblock, foundation and concealer). But with this BB cream, I only do 4 steps... clean my face, toner, BB cream, concealer then setting everything with a loose or translucent powder.

I really love this BB Cream. This is one of my favorite for this month.

Review: REVLON PHOTO READY FOUNDATION

As promised, here's my review for my newest foudnation =)



Physically, I love the packaging. The pump is so easy to use and it's not
messy. I can easily control the amount of foundation that I need to cover my
entire face. Actually, I so love it because with just one pump, I can get enough amount of foundation that can actually cover my whole face. The thing that made me think twice in buying this foundation is when I noticed that it has shimmer on it.
Since my focus is more into bridal make up, shimmering foundation is a no-no for me.
But what surprise me with this product is that, when you apply it and set it with any powder, no shimmer can be traced. I so love that even a thin layer can actually provide a full coverage. Another thing that made me love this foundation is that, when it sets, it makes the skin looks flawless. It even outs the skintone without putting too many foundation. I dont even feel that I'm actually waearing any foundation when I'm using PhotoReady.



I got the nude shade (004), but I'm still planning to get a darker shade
soon. This foundation is ok, especially if you want something that's affordable
and can provide a good coverage. Also, if you're looking for a foundation that you can use daily, I recommend this one since, as I mentioned earlier, this is affordable compared to other brands.

To wrap it up, I do love this foundation and recommend it. I will surely
be using this for my clients and for personal use as well.

I Got It!!!!!

I've been thinking and wanting to buy this new foundation from Revlon. Well actually, it's no longer new. But I was so torned if I'm really going to buy it or not. But, after months of watching different reviews and seeing a lot of people ranting about it, I finally bought my very own PHOTO READY FOUNDATION. I will be using it for a week or two before I give a review. So I hope you guys will be patient enough to wait for it. I'm so excited to start using it and share with all of you my experience and opinion about it...

Also, I know I should have been done this before. In this blog of mine, I will be mentioning products that I have used and will be using. But I just wanna inform you guys that I was not paid by those product's manufacturer to do reviews. I personally bought all of them and what I state here are based on my own opinion. If ever that a company will be providing me the products and ask me to review it for them, I guarantee you that what ever I will be saying will be based on facts and my actual experience with them... Just a little info here, or should I say a disclaimer...
