Hey guys, I just joined this contest in Facebook and I really need your support. The contest last day of joining will be today and I made some hauling on my previous pictures and choose one which I consider I am at my Enhanced Natural Look. Please like Props and Tools Facebook Page first.

Props Tools and Cosmetics

Here is the preview of my picture posted in the contest. Then for my picture link, click here. Don't forget to like my picture. And feel free to leave any comments.

My Enhanced Natural Beauty

What is Natural Beauty for me?

Natural Beauty for me is how proud you are of what God gave you. Yes, make up makes us more beautiful and boost our confidence. But beauty fades in time and what's important is how good your heart is. We don't treat people base on their looks but on how good they treat other people, too. Do good deeds and physical appearance doesn't matter anymore. Real beauty is not seen with our two eyes, it is the heart that can really see it.

Thanks and don't forget to like my picture. It's 15% of the Criteria for judging!

REVIEW: Look Beauty's Prime Perfect & Airbrush Base

I'm up for my new babies! Yeah, it took me 15 days after my purchase to make a review on these babies. I'm sorry! Okay, let's get back to business. Introducing...

Look Beauty's Prime Perfect Primer and Airbrush Base Foundation.




It took me 10 days after my purchase before I use it on a certain occasion (mom's birthday), and it was perfect! Here is a picture of me using both product.

DSLR picture:



Phone Camera Picture:


Aha! I feel very beautiful with these pictures. I did the smokey eye for day make up. Both products are very easy to apply. Agree? I hope so.

Up next are the packaging of Prime Perfect and Airbrush Base


Look Beauty's Prime Perfect weighs 35 ml. This is my only primer in my kit but so far this is the best primer to date! And very affordable. The packaging comes with a plastic seal between the body and the silver cover, and another seal when you remove the silver cover (to assure that the product is unused).


Look Beauty's Airbrush Base Foundation comes with a plastic seal all over the container that can be remove by tearing it. I like it's packaging as it assures every user that this is an unused product compare to any foundation that only comes with the container w/o any seal. What I want in the packaging is it comes with a pump so it's easy to use. I was supposed to purchase Flawless Fix Beauty Balm but the shades left are lighter than my skin color so I ended up purchasing Airbrush Base Medium Shade #3

Here are the textures of both product:

Prime Perfect Primer


Prime Perfect Pros and Cons:
PROS:
-the packaging is sealed
-comes up with a plastic container so no need to worry when you accidentally drop it.
-worth the size: it weighs 35ml
-clear texture is an advantage for me. I don't have to worry if it will blend on my foundie.
-application is very easy. can be applied with fingers. it leaves a smooth effect on my skin.
-dries up easily as it easily absorbs the skin.
-blends perfectly with foundation (I tried this with Mac's Studio Fix and Loreal Foundation)
-price wise: it costs me Php750
CONS:
-since it comes with a transparent color, you can't notice if you have already applied this one on one area of your face (tinted primer has an advantage for this) unless you touch that particular area in your face.
-no expiration date and ingredients.

*product is tested using another brand of foundation and it gives me the same effect using Look Beauty's Airbrush Base. For make up look using both products, please refer to my picture above.

For Airbrush Base Foundation


Airbrush Base Pros and Cons:
PROS:
-packaging is sealed
-worth the size: 40ml
-product details won't come out easily
-product is dense. good thing it comes with a pump
-doesn't feel heavy when applied
-doesn't need to re-apply to get the desired effect on face
-I don't have to use a concealer to cover my blemishes. (note that the picture taken above, I used a concealer on my eye area).
-it comes with 5 shades.
-price wise: it costs me Php850
CONS:
-it comes with a glass container so you have to be really careful with this.
-since the texture is dense, it takes time to dry/absorb by skin. I tried using foundation brush on this one but I prefer using the local version of beauty blender sponge so skin absorption/drying is faster than using foundation brush/fingers.
-no expiration date and ingredients.

*tried this foundation without using the primer. the effects are it leaves my skin a little oily, perspire a little and heavy but it gives me a satisfying physical effect. I'd still prefer using this product with primer.

Because of these products, I am now a fan of Look Beauty and will sure buy other Look Beauty products for my next investment.

I will definitely purchase both products again and these two babies are my favorites. Prime Perfect sells like pancakes so grab yours, now!

Where did I got them?: For orders or to view their varieties of make up from US and UK, click Make Up Hub by Naturele Collezione.

Rating it from 1-5 (1 lowest and 5 being the highest), I gave Look Beauty's Prime Perfect Primer a perfect grade of 5 and Look Beauty's Airbrush Base Foundation a grade of 4.5-5. (4.5 for foundation alone and 5 for using it with primer).

I hope my review will help you in purchasing the right product.

With Love.

REVIEW: Beautie Jele Collagen + Vitamin C & L-Glutathione + Zinc Fruity Drink

Heya! I'm so excited with this review. I went to this supermarket I visit 3-5x a week (besides my son's school) and I spot this 2 items. Since I don't take any medicine for my skin improvement due to some reasons (having too much pimple that leaves annoying marks on my face and for glutathione products, it's quite expensive. I just want to bring back my old complexion because I always take my son to school with a motorcycle that leaves me having darker skin, and applying lotion is not an option because I perspire that much and it's uncomfortable), I came to my senses that I can't have that glow back during my younger days.

My prayers have been answered when I saw this product. This is such a heaven for me. Introducting Beautie Jele! (clap clap clap).

Jele Beautie Club


Jele Beautie

They have 7 product/flavor to choose from:
L-Glutathione + Zinc
Blackcurrant
Fiber + Chlorophyll
Calcium + Vitamin D:
Gojiberry
Vitamins A,C,E
Collagen + Vitamin C


Here are the two products that I consume for 1 week already.


Would you believe that these items are within everybody's budget? It's around Php22 each. It comes with 7 flavors to choose from. Click here for the complete view of their beverages. Serving size is around 150g.

Jele Beautie Pros and Cons:
PROS:
-affordable price!
-doesn't give me any side effects (so far for 1 week use already, taken everyday)
-great, exciting flavors.
-full of nutrients and beneficial elements suitable for your need
-innovative type of jelly juices, both safe for kids and adults
-comes with a manufacturing date and expiration date
CONS:
-the packaging comes with different language (the nutritional fact and details about this product) so if you are  very certain about the nutritional fact, you won't be able to know unless you know someone who can translate it for you (a big no no for this product). But the ingredients active in this product is written both in different language and in English.

EFFECT:

I feel beauty inside and out (like the Myra E commercial says, but since Myra E gives me a negative effect on my face, I discontinue use the product and replace it with these items). My skin is supple and I feel more confident.

I just have to inform you guys that there is no approved therapeutic claim of this product. In short, this is just a supplement or vitamins and this product do not intend to cure sickness. This is not a substitute or replacement to supplements who can cater your needs (i.e., glutathione + vit. c for your glutathione pills/injectable or collagen for vit. e or collagen creams). I just use them to replace my supplementary needs and it is my choice. I do not claim that it can cater your supplementary needs, too, with the use of these products.

Where did I got them? I bought them in Shopper's Mart Binondo and they cater 5 out of 7 different flavors (Glutathione, Collagen, Gojiberry, Fiber + Gojiberry and Vitamin A,C,E).

Rating it from 1-5 (1 lowest and 5 being the highest), I gave these products a score of 4.5.

I hope my review will help you in purchasing the right product.

With Love.

BEAUCHè's Beauty Bar (135g): Php58

JELE BEAUTIE's Collagen + Vitamin C: Php22
                                L-Glutathione + Zinc: Php22


I've been taking this drink for 1 week now. I bought this item in Shopper's Mart Binondo.

Both items are on my list and up next is my review for both products. Ciao.

That's it for my MONDAY haul.

With Love.

REVIEW: Miner's Matte Factor

Tada! This lippies are heaven for me. I'm really a fan of matte lippies eversince. I think it compliments which I consider pouty (naks) lips that I have. Introducing Miner's Matte Factor Lip Paints. My favorite brand/product to date!



I bought these items for Php1,200 (I got Php600 discount from visiting their bazaar and luckily I am one of the 30 make up junkies who have availed the said promo). Individually, it's around Php300 but I swear to this product that the lipstick's worth the price. And because I really love this product I made these personal swatches myself.

Here are the available colors:






Here are the pictures of swatches with and without flash:





Miners Matte Factor Lip Paint Pros and Cons
PROS:
-it really gives you a matte finish like any other product can't (some matte lippies said they're matte but when you apply it, it will still give you a slight glossy effect)
-lasts for hours (can't really say how long but base on my on experience, I find it hard to remove also)
-6 exciting colors to choose from (my personal favorites are warm red and hot pink)
-it comes with own personal brush so no need to use any lip brush, and it's very easy to apply, plus no need to retouch!
-you have to twist the cap to open which is a plus factor for me unlike any other lippies that you have to pull up the cover. Why it is a plus factor for me? I can carry it anywhere without worrying that it might stain my pockets or make up bag.
-affordable price: it only costs me Php300 (and you might be lucky like me to buy these 6 lippies for Php1200, that's 33% off)
CONS:
-a quick change of lip color is not that possible with this product as this is hard to remove
-for me, it takes time to dry.
-if you're experiencing from having a chappy lips, it is not a good idea to use this product as this dries up your lips, too. if you really want to use this product, I suggest that you brush your lips first to get rid of dead lips skin (I really don't know what they call it) or use a clear lip gloss/balm (I match it with my Max Factor's Lip Balm with Vit. E) but still it gives me a matte effect. The use of Clear Lip Balms is to prevent lips from drying which causes the chapping of lips.
-be careful with applying this product, it stains that you have to remove your make up and retouch again. same with the clothing. :)

Each weigh at 5ml but this little junkie is so easy to apply that you don't have to make multiple application to achieve the desire lip color.

Where did I got them?: For orders or to view their varieties of make ups from US and UK, click Make Up Hub by Naturele Collezione.

Rating it from 1-5 (1 lowest and 5 being the highest), I gave this lippies a grade of 4.5

I hope my review helps you in purchasing the right product.

With Love.

REVIEW: 4U2's DREAM GIRL LOVE PINK: Faith BB Cream and Lovelight BB Powder SPF PA++


Hey. I'm back. Sorry it took me long time to make another review.

I'm never this excited to make a review about 4U2's products. What  interests me in purchasing this product is because of the influence of my good friend Mitch, a high school friend and my mentor in this blogging thing, check out her blogs mitchiekyuti. I've read a good review about this product in her blog entries (check the blog here) and knowing it won't costs me high in purchasing this product, I decided that why won't I give it a try. I never had a BB Cream (although many of beauty bloggers recommend of using one instead of a liquid foundation), I'm still not decided before if I will purchase one or not because what I want in a make-up is the full coverage effect on my face (I have blemishes that I need to cover) and having lots of liquid foundation on my make up kit, I think it's a waste to buy one. So while my son is having his Judo classes in Technofit Tutuban, I accidentally dropped by in Watson's and saw the 4U2's products being displayed near the entrance. I immediately picked out these products to see if it's worth to have those in my beauty kit.


4U2 DREAMGIRL FAITH BB CREAM

This is my first BB Cream and I'm glad I purchased this one. It only comes with one shade (universal shade) that blends easily with the BB Powder of the same product name. It weigh around 30 ml. I apply this one using my fingers as my skin easily absorbs it.


BB Cream Pros and Cons:
PROS:
- Easy to apply, easy to wear.
- What I love about this product is since I'm suffering from an oily skin, I don't feel oily at all, and I don't perspire that much.
- Base on my personal experience, I don't need to retouch.
- it smells good
- applying too much of this product on your face won't give you a cakey finish unlike to liquid foundation does to your face.
- its very light you can barely feel you're wearing something on your face
- I don't need to put on a concealer on my eye area and other blemish/dark spots/acne to cover it
- The container size fits perfectly to your pocket so you can bring it anywhere
- it comes with an expiration date
- Price wise: it costs me around 184 pesos.
CONS:
- Since this one have only one shade to offer, applying this alone (without the BB Powder), I would definitely look like stupid as this one when applied on my face is very light (or whiter) than my usual skin color. (the reason I haven't tried this alone, must apply it with the BB powder to match it with my skin color)

*I haven't tried this product without the powder on so all reviews are based on having this one and bb powder both on my face.

4U2 DREAMGIRL LOVELIGHT BB POWDER SPF 15 PA ++

I never heard of BB Powder and if it wasn't for Mitchie, I will still be clueless up to now. This product is a heaven for me, and yeah, I'm willing to trade my other make up powder for this one. It weighs around 7g and the powder comes in a compact size, with sponge and a mirror so this product is always on the go.



BB Powder Pros and Cons:
PROS:
- The shade matches perfectly on my skin complexion
- Like what I've said earlier, I don't have to put on a concealer to cover some of my facial impurities.
- With its compact size, yeah you can bring it anywhere that it can fit to your pocket perfectly. It comes with a mirror so you can do retouching anytime, anywhere.
- No retouching (I usually do some retouching when my skin gets oily or when the powder washed off when I perspire too much)
- doesn't give you a cakey finish
- it blends well with the bb cream of the same product name
- what it says in the packaging is it has SPF 15 which is a must have for morning make up.
- smooth finish
- it comes with an expiration date
- Price wise: it costs me around 194 pesos.
CONS:
- It only comes with three shades to offer so if you're very particular with the shade color, you'll get a bit disappointed. (luckily, shade #3 matches my skin color)
- If I'll be very particular with my facial impurities, I think I'll be needing the BB Cream underneath.

*I've tried this product without the BB cream on but I still prefer to use the both of them. Never tried this using a liquid foundation of another product.

EFFECT:

Looking at my fingers as my natural skin color, you can see that the BB cream itself is way too lighter than my natural skin color, and applying the bb cream then the bb powder, it now matches perfectly with my complexion.



I will definitely purchase again and I highly recommend this product. By the way, I heard this product sells like pancakes so if you spot one make sure you buy 2!

Rating it from 1-5 (1 lowest and 5 being the highest), I gave 4U2 BB Cream a grade of 4.5-5 (I can't really decide, haha, so there's a bracket) and the 4U2 BB Powder a perfect score of 5.

I hope my review will help you in purchasing the right product.

With Love.

FACE-OFF: Maybeline's Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Vs. Tony Moly's Liquid Gel Liner

It's my first time to make a face-off review. Obviously. Hihihi.

Making a review on different gel liners in 2 different colors: And I hope I can be able to justify it's pros and cons even though I am showcasing 2 different colors.

Here is the Maybeline's Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in 01 Black:



Maybelline's Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Pros and Cons:
PROS:
-Long lasting. As it says in it's packaging that smudge-proof and water proof.
-Dries up fast.
-a package of this product always comes with a brush. Unlikely to other gel liners.
-Brush tip is excellent! I can create a thin line with this one. And the brush comes with a cover
-doesn't irritate the eyes
-first apply and I already achieve the color I desire
-price wise: it costs me around P449
-can buy this to any top selling department stores
CONS:
-Since the brush applicator is separated, you really have to take care of it or else you'll purchase another brush again.
-what I hate about smudge-proof and water-proof products are you really have to use a make-up remover as it doesn't easily remove by soap and water and facial cleanser.
-it doesn't smudge around the upper lid area but applying this one in your lower lid area, especially when you have teary eyes, it smudges a little. Don't put too much or else you'll look horrible.


And Tony Moly's Gel Eyeliner in Brown: Packaging





Tony Moly's Gel Liner Pros and Cons:
PROS:
-smudge-proof and water-proof
-the package comes with cover and the brush is connected to the gel liner's cover, plus the brush can be extended. this is totally a handy gel liner kit unlike to Maybelline's Gel Liner.
-This one doesn't smudge (or smudge less than the other product) when I apply this on my lower eyelid.
-Price wise: it costs me P400. You can purchase this one in https://www.facebook.com/szakiyahs.online.shop
-doesn't irritate the eyes
-can be easily remove by soap and water
CONS:
-it takes a little longer than Maybelline's gel liner to dry
-the brush is thicker than of Maybelline's Gel liner that it makes it harder to manage than the other one.
-I have to apply more to achieve the color I desire.

Here are the swatches: (sorry for the poor quality as I am using my cellphone only)



What I want in a make-up (since I'm not really good at eye make-ups) is it should be handy, long-lasting, easy to apply and easy to remove.

Rating it from 1-5 (1 lowest and 5 being the highest), I gave Maybelline's Lasting Drama a grade of 4 and Tony Moly's Gel Eyeliner a grade of 4.5

I hope my review helps you in purchasing the right product.

With Love.

REVIEW: Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

I went a little shopping a while ago and in order to complete my 3,000 pesos purchase (using Metrobank card, I can pay it through 6 months installment) and I found one of my weakness which is the "make-up". This is called the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain from Revlon (Revlon's new lippies) and I swear to this product. It's very light, very fresh-looking, very natural and it won't harass your lips.



I purchased the Romantic/Romantique Shades and it looks very natural on my lips. Perfect for everyday make-up. Or even w/o make up. It has a cooling effect and although the wet effect (every balm has this kind of effect) is gone, the stain is still on your lips. Here are the colors and swatches I grabbed.

Beauty Geek UK

Pearls and Poodles

Physical appearance is like of a twist-able crayon so no need for a sharpener. You just have to twist it until you reach its dead end.

Here are the pros and cons of this product:
PROS:
- it has a cooling effect
-no taste (I consider it as a pro since I'm not really a fan of balms that has flavor)
-great for everyday wear with or without make up
-its color doesn't wear off easily
-smells good (I'm always a fan of minty flavor/odor)
-considerable price: around 500+pesos and it comes with a pocket mirror with normal and magnified in each sides. (it depends upon the retailer)
CONS:
-I also consider as a con that this product doesn't wear off easily especially when you want to change your lip color or when you want to go to bed without your lipstick/balm on.
-when the balm wears off, I don't like the feeling of it dries up my lips maybe because of the lasting color effect of this product.

Rating it from 1-5 (1 lowest and 5 being the highest), I gave this lippies/balm a grade of 4.5

I hope my review helps you in purchasing the right product.

With Love.

REVIEW: MeMeMe's Flawless Face Collection

My first review on this entry is about the make up I recently purchased. I got this one last Saturday at Superb Bazaar in World Trade Center. The MeMeMe Flawless Face Collection of course by MeMeMe. It comes with 3 shades and  I purchased the darkest shade (since I consider myself darker than a morena)


The box comes with Seventh Heaven Facial Base Moisturizer (uppermost), Flawless Liquid Foundation, (left), Flawless Concealer (down), Flawless Loose Powder (middle) and a big soft Brush.


This collection is a but pricey for me since I really don't have a budget and was only planning to buy only the set of Miner's Matte Factor. It costs me around P2,300 courtesy of Make Up Hub by Naturele Collezione (check out their varieties of MU brands from US and UK). One of their guest MU artist that time is Ms. Say, and asked her about what other make up I should add in my collection. She did a little make up and at first I was not really convinced but since they're really nice, I did purchased this one (knowing I already have Mac's Studio Fix Liquid Foundation). They said that this collection lasts for long hours (despite of having an oily skin) and I won't regret buying this product. I got home regretting buying this product but I convince myself that I will love this product (for me not to cry over in trashing real money wherein I can purchase other product cheaper than this one).

Moving on, the first time I used this product is when I checked in last Tuesday in Hotel H2O. Me and my friends are planning to go on a gimmick so I decided to bring this one with me instead of my other liquid foundation. I was completely amazed because all my facial impurities (my acne scars) are covered with this product and the application of the foundation doesn't look that thick or so called the "obviously full coverage". And the scent smells good too. First you have to apply the Seventh Heaven Facial Base Moisturizer, followed by the Flawless Liquid Foundation (I applied the foundation through my Foundation Brush then did the finishing touches with my finger since I left my sponge at home) and put on some concealer on my eye bags (since I always sleep late) and also my acne scars, then finishes it off with the Flawless Loose Powder using the brush included in this set. My other friend asks me if he can use my foundation and he said that he loves it more than my usual liquid foundation. I swear, purchasing this collection is worth the money. I am willing to give up my Mac Studio Fix Liquid Foundation for this collection, (I'm sorry Mac, but I still love your other products).

Here are the pros and cons of this product:
PROS:
- flawless finish without the obviously full coverage look (it doesn't look like you put on heavy foundation like other make up does with our face)
-it doesn't feel heavy
-it doesn't give me any breakouts even though I slept with make up on (I came to the hotel from gimmick and in order not to wake the kids, I preferred to only change my clothes then go to bed already, too lazy to wash my face because I'm drunk)
-doesn't smudge
-doesn't leave any make up marks on my clothes or when I damp my face with a tissue
-i didn't have any retouches the whole night
-it smells good
CONS:
-yes, for me, it costs me high
-didn't achieve the no oily look because it didn't meet my expectations on achieving a non-oily gimmick night (good thing I brought with me my Eshiko Powder with me that saves the night).

Rating it from 1-5 (1 lowest and 5 being the highest), I gave this collection a grade of 4.5.

I hope my review helps you in purchasing the right product.

With Love.
