This is new brand that I encountered, it’s called Pop Beauty. They also have some mineralized make-up. Here’s something for those who never get their concealer colors right.

This item has five concealing and corrective mineral powders in an all-in-one cake. All shades will be useful since our skin exposure varies. Even out your skin tone and prime your skin with this pressed mineral powder cake. For an all-over color correcting effect, blend all of the colors together with a sponge and buff into face.

Shades include: peach (minimizes darkness), yellow powder (minimizes redness), translucent (works well as an eye cake primer), nude (neutral concealer), and tan (neutral contour).

Not all of us can afford to buy real diamonds, sterling silver jewelry or gold accessories. The unreachable prices just gives us that feeling of sadness as we stare at the jewelry store window. Don’t be sad though, there’s always a way to have our own jewelry without hurting our pockets. You also get to customize based on your taste. Popular materials for homemade jewelry are glass beads, crystals, and engraved metal pieces.

When many people begin designing their own jewelry they will start by working with glass beads. That makes sense because these beads are easy to use, colorful and largely inexpensive. You can buy a tube of beads that contains glass beads of many different shapes, sizes and colors or beads that are all in the same color family. It’s almost as if these containers were designed so you don’t have to think about how to put a piece of jewelry together; everything will look good with everything else.

Want something more formal? Try combining some crystal pieces with the beads. It will give that illusion that your jewelry is all made of crystals. Metal pieces with an intricate design also looks expensive.

There are many craft shops now in malls. Making it convenient for those who want to make their own jewelry to find materials. Jewelry making also releases one’s creative side and can also be used as a great family activity. With this also, you can have something that you can really call your own.

My sister has always been obssessed about her eyelashes. She likes them long and thick. She has tried fake eyelashes and different kinds of mascara just to improve the way she looks. Sounds painful and uncomfortable when applying, right? Well, that’s the path to beauty.

She has tried a lot of mascara brands, from cheap ones that cake after a short period of time to the expensive yet innovative ones. She may have gone through all the brands and yet the desire to find something that’s easy to apply, lasts longer and makes her more attractive is always there.

I found this item and I hope she will consider it on her next beauty purchase. It’s called the Smashbox Bionic Mascara. Given the name, a lot of engineering must have done to this little piece of make-up for users to experience a more convenient way of applying mascara. This is still eye make-up afterall and a lot of consideration should be done when choosing one, since our eyes are involved one way or another. Better safe than sorry.

Smashbox Bionic is the first ionic mascara—it will leave you with longer, stronger, and more voluminous lashes! The specially-engineered brush coats lashes with our revolutionary long-wearing, water-resistant formula for a dramatic full lash. Aloe, silk, and wheat protein strengthen and condition.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day may bring both happiness and stress. Happy because one gets to spend time with their loved one, stress because of the hassle of lining up in restaurants, heavy traffic and highly expensive gifts. For most, the hassle experienced in celebrating on the day itself is a trivial matter since they get to be with their special someone. Of course, we can’t ignore the fact that we also get tired.

Here’s a perfect therapy set after a day full of work and other activites. :) This is an invigorating set for mind and body.

Contains all you need for a complete shower or bath experience, whether at home or when traveling. Verbena Shower Gel gently cleanses even the most sensitive skin. Skin is refreshed, toned, and healthy. Verbena Soap softens and protects as the foamy lather gently cleanses the skin, helping to preserve its natural moisture balance. The Body Lotion: Gently moisturizes, nourishes, and softens the skin leaving it delicately fragranced. Verbena Shampoo restores softness, shine, and vitality to hair. Verbena Conditioner restores vitality and shine to hair. The sparkling and zesty scents of citrus fruits leaves hair light, fresh and pleasantly perfumed.

I accompanied my mom and sister to the parlor this morning. The place was sure packed for an ordinary day. Then I realized that tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Ohhh~ So the ladies are sure preparing for their dates on this special occassion. No beauty entry this time. I think you ladies are already busy with your make-up bags.

Everyday is Valentine’s Day for me. Ohohoho! It’s not only on that day that I will show my love for my significant other. We rarely see one another as it is because of work and our locations, so why wait for Valentine’s Day to arrive? I know it’s the time to honor love, but with traffic all over the place, jam-packed restaurants and definitely over-priced gift items, why bother when you can have a date some other day?

Of course, as a woman, I still couldn’t remove the fact that IT is Valentine’s Day. Sometimes the heart doesn’t get along with the mind and the atmosphere that the season brings gives that “must celebrate” feeling.

I’ve always been telling myself to be very mature when it comes to these things and not be sour grapes just because my significant other and I couldn’t celebrate on the day itself. It actually helps when having a mindset that everyday is a special day.

Anyway, enjoy your day and I’m still greeting you a Happy Valentine’s Day!

I just found out about this! O_o Apparently, Smashbox Cosmetics won an award for being environmentally conscious. They won in the category of: Best Cruelty Free Cosmetics Company in PETA’s Proggy Awards. That’s a cute award name. XD Proggy = froggy.

It’s so wonderful to know that this great brand is very much concerned about our environment. They not only make their users more beautiful than they already are, they also strive to make the environment beautiful.

As previously posted, here’s Smashbox’s current environment-friendly collection, the Green Room Collection.  Not tested on animals, tested only on models.

Happy New Lunar Year to everyone!

We just celebrated the Roman Calendar New Year and it’s time once again for another explosive event and this time it’s the Lunar Calendar New Year! Bring out those lucky charms and start the Lunar year right, but before all that, let me share something that could really jump start your make-up bags.

Turn over a new leaf the next time you buy makeup. Along with creating environmentally-friendly formulas encapsulated in biodegradable and recyclable packaging, Smashbox’s Green Room Collection takes social consciousness to the next level: The company compensates for their carbon footprint by planting a tree from the proceeds of every product sold.

With this new collection, you not only have a new look, you also helped save the environment.

Anyway, enjoy the festivities. Again, have a wonderful New Lunar Year! XD

Wow! The brand Calvin Klein is not only for clothes, underwear and fragrance, they have make-up now! O_o

Let me start with what everbody loves…lip gloss!

This is a delicious gloss enriched with subtle flavor. Adds a transparent, weightless shine with a hint of flavor. It is also enriched with vitamins E and C. There are a lot of colors to choose from that can suit any season, skin-tone or clothes color.

It’s now February and it’s just a few more days before Valentine’s Day. Some of us have been preparing for that special date with that special someone. For those who have extra cash, you are probably shopping for pretty clothes, shoes and a matching bag now. While others who are saving for a rainy day, you must have found something nice in your closet by now and have creatively mixed-and-matched it with your existing accessories. For the happily single, no worries, no hassle. Probably a quiet dinner at home or a night out with some close friends.

Whether you are attached or not, no woman can do without make-up on Valentine’s day or any day for that matter. Benefit, the brand that I really love, always have something to suit their users’ needs, or want. 

Pink and gold are great colors that are very easy to use and are suitable for any season. That’s what this Benefit pallet have in mind. They know what their users really want and.

What do women want? Everything! That’s why Benefit created this “get what you want, when you want” palette for spring. These shades of tender pink and seductive gold are made for mixing and matching to create a warm, soft, ethereal effect. Pink always, gold forever!

The limited-edition palette includes three silky powder eyeshadows and three silky finish lipsticks, including Sugar Rush and Candy Store and an applicator brush, too!
