February Favorites

Hello y'all! I just want to share with you my favorites for the month of February. Some of these things are so important in my daily face routine. I've tried a lot of products and most of them failed me but what I'm going to show you are really good and I do recommend that you try them too and see if you will like them.

Lets start..

February Favorites Family Picture

NYX Nude on Nude Natural Kit

This was one of the things that Judy of ItsJudyTime gave us when she had her meet and greet here in Manila. I love this product because of its versatility. You can create a lot of eye looks with this and do your brows too. 

Nichido Stardust Eyeshadow Trio in  Enchanted Green

This trio is perfect for brown eyes. That's why I love it. :)

e.l.f. Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

Emily of Beauty Broadcast really like this product. It's cheap but the quality is great. The Bronzing Powder is perfect for everyday use.

Careline Oil-Control Blush-On in Rosy Cheek

My everyday cheek color. Looks sweet and natural. 

NYX Mosaic Powder in Plummy

I use this one at night under my Careline blush for a gradient effect. 

Ever Bilena Advance Eyeshadow in Calla Vadji

Using a wet angled brush, I line my eyes with this on times that I don't want to use black eyeshadow. It also look good on you if you have brown eyes. 

NYX Single Eyeshadow in Black

The best black eyeshadow :D

HerBench Paint Box in Toffee Hint

 This is a matte brown eyeshadow that is very good for contouring the crease. I even use it to contour my cheekbones and forehead. 

Avon SuperMagnify Waterproof Mascara

This is probably my most favorite mascara ever. The wand is so thin and small that it coats every single lash and it doesn't clump. It's lengthening and volumizing at the same time.

Here's a photo of me wearing Avon SuperMagnify

Avon Simply Total Curl Mascara

I wasn't expecting anything great when I bought this mascara since it was only P179.00 but when I used it I was surprised that it was better that my Maybelline Magnum. The only downside is that it's not waterproof. But that's OK. Sometimes, it's nice to give your lashes a break from using a lot of waterproof products.

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara

This was a gift from a very sweet friend. I knew I was going to love this even before I started using it. Sometimes, it looks like I have false lashes on with only 3 coats of this mascara.

Fashion 21 Stick Eyeshadow/Liner in Wood

A great base if you are creating brown/bronze smokey eyes. It's going to make your eyeshadow pop. It's super soft and glides smoothly. 

e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in Sheer

This is my everyday eyelid primer. I take it up to my brows so that everything will stay in its place for 6-8 hours. (That's how good it is for only P129.75)

Wet n' Wild ColorIcon Pencil Liner in Black/Noir

I bought this after I saw that it was awarded as one of the best eyeliners in a magazine. I have to say that it has a really good staying power and the color is very pigmented. Plus it's a long pencil.

L.A. Colors Eyeliner Pencil in Lime Green

Isn't it gorgeous?  Need I say more?

Here I am using it as a liner under my eyes

San San Eyebrow Pencil in no. 03

When I do my makeup, it takes me more or less 5 minutes to do my brows. And I use a lot of products since I have colored hair. This pencil right here is just the right color for my brows. I doesn't have any red undertones in it. It's perfect and it's only P55.

Nichido Lip Pencil in Rosette

This is my favorite lipliner so far. 

Etude House Auto Lipliner

 It's the same color as the Nichido one, I just like it because I don't have to sharpen it anymore.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul

I only have 2 shades of the NYX SMLC and the other one I don't like because of its smell. 

NYX Matte Lipstick in Bloody Mary

Another gift from Judy. :) 

Colour Collection Matte Edition  Lipstick in Vintage

I'm almost out of this lipstick. Yay for me!!

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Storm

This is my favorite shade of the EB Matte Lipstick Collection. It's dark and sexy. I also have Scarlet but I don't like it that much. I makes my teeth look more yellow. HAHA! 

So these are my February Favorites. I hope you enjoyed reading it. If you have questions, feel free to comment down below. :) 

Have a nice day everyone!! God Bless Us All! 

Love, 

Hair and Makeup: PROM

Last February 24, 2012, I did my little sister's hair and makeup for her prom. I used green and brown eyeshadow for her eyes, pinks for her cheeks and nude gloss for her lips. Curled her hair and tied it to one side to achieve a girly yet sophisticated look.

Here are some pictures of her.

Meet and Greet with ItsJudyTime

Last year, Judy of itsjudytime hosted a meet and greet here in the Philippines. I didn't know her that time yet but when I found out that she's having another one this year, I made sure I was going to be there. Say of Hair and Makeup Be Say was also there since she so-hosted the event. 

I immediately told my boyfriend about it and asked him to accompany me and take pictures and I was really glad he did!I was planning to bring my sister along with me because she's a fan of Judy too but she was busy with school project so she couldn't come.

The event was held at Red Mango, SM Mall of Asia at 7:00 pm but we came late because of the heavy traffic at Antipolo. Good thing that they were still there when we arrived and still got the chance to take a couple of pictures with Judy and her husband, Benji of BenjiManTV.

Here are some photos from the meet and greet:

Benji gave me some NYX goodies even though I was late. It was really nice of him .

I had fun. It was truly one of the happiest days of my life. Thank you so much..

My Lipsticks

Here is a rundown of the lipsticks I have as of this writing. I just did a simple brown smokey eyes so that every lip color would match it and I think I did a good job.

Aido Lipstick  in  "15"

I like this lipstick very much because of the good color payoff and it's only P25. :) I know, it is really cheap but it's very good. And if you like coral lip color, this is something you should try.

Aido Lipstick in "P"

Yes, the name of the lipstick is just "P". It's a pinkish red (or reddish pink) and it will look good on fair skin.

Aido Lipstick in "Q"

Pink. 'nuff said.

Beauty Treats Mineral Lipstick in "Baby Berry"

This is the darkest pink lipstick I own, and I'm so happy with it's color and formula.You don't need any lipliner because it's so pigmented. It somehow stains the lips and I like that.

Ever Bilena Pro Longwear Lipstick in "Destiny"

I like this very much. The color matches my skin nicely. 

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in "Off-Beat Pink"

 Pink and Matte. Perfect Combination!

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in "Scarlet"

Orange-y Red lip color looks really good with brown smokey eyes.

Nichido Matte Lipstick in "Charming"

Orange lip color is great for summer.

Nichido Juicy Lips Lipstick in "Hawaiian Punch"

This one is like my real lip color, only better and it smells like doughnuts! Very pigmented and easy to work with. You should try this.

Nichido Juicy Lips Lipstick in "Pink Champagne"

Pink lipstick inside this cute pink packaging is like the most kikay thing ever!

NYX Round Lipstick in "Power"

I know this isn't working for me but I really like it.

NYX Round Lipstick in "Snow White"

I LOVE this color. It looks glamorous, right? It reminds me of something Christina Aguilera would wear on the red carpet.

So, that's it guys. If you want a review on these lipsticks, just let me know.


Have a blessed day!
