I have finally found my match as a light warm olive!
It is so lightweight, blends seamlessly on my face, almost disappears into my skin that I had to apply another layer.
Initially I had purchased Gobi but I looked too obvious wearing a foundation...
Natural Matte Longwear Foundation - NARS Cosmetics
I accidentally discovered this fabulous makeup foundation when the lovely sales guy at Suvarnabhumi Airport gave this as a freebie (along with other EL makeup and skincare samples) for my purchased Dior items. I wasn’t looking for a foundation at tha...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation
I’ve hit pan on my other lipstick (Dior) and couldn’t find the same product elsewhere so I went online looking for something similar like peach or coral toned one. I stumbled upon this MAC Mull It Over Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Stick.
Velvety and...
Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Stick - MAC Cosmetics
This NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (in Nougatine) brightens and corrects my under eyes. It doesn’t crinkle my skin beneath it and conceals my other imperfections.
I like how it’s radiant on my skin rather than dry or matte, but perhaps can look cak...
Under Eye Concealer Makeup - NARS Cosmetics
I was hesitant to buy this pencil on a whim but I was at a Dior store one time and I needed a brow pencil so I gave it a go.
I love how it’s sleek, ultra-fine that gives you the look like you are not wearing any brow pencil. It looks natural on me, ...
Diorshow Brow Styler Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil 24h Wear | Dior US
This little thing glides smoothly on my chapped lips making it hydrated, plump, and looking alive. It has the ability to transform my lips from pale to pink while looking all natural!
I have this in 078 icy blue (has cool undertones) that leaves a p...
Dior Addict Lip Glow - Icy Blue
As someone approaching 40s decreasing my natural radiance and losing collagen and elasticity is inevitable. With tired eyes, fine lines, dull skin, this serum is truly incredible! It targets early signs of aging and hydrates skin giving me that plump...
Under eye lines buster: Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex
What a holy grail! I stumbled upon this eye-cream when I recently went to Hong Kong. I was looking for something that would stop (🤣) aging. Seriously, we look more tired and haggard when we travel. This luxurious eye-cream helps with hydration under...
Capture Totale Firming & Wrinkle-Correcting Eye Cream - Dior
Matte-finished lipstick that doesn’t dry out lips. Super lightweight formula, giving that “your lips but better” feeling. Smells divine!
Perfect for everyday look. Flatters fair to warm complexions (I am warm undertone)
Rouge Dior Forever Lipstick - Sephora Australia
I love how light weight this is! It doesn’t clog my pores and doesn’t cause white cast!
Beach essential: La Roche Posay Sunscreen
Solid 100/100 love this setting spray. Attended a wedding and as a sweaty girl living in the hot and humid Philippines this setting spray really lived up to its hype! Had my makeup done at 10am, it lasted until 2am the next day. Make up still intact ...
On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray - ONE/SIZE
Non-greasy texture that works well underneath your makeup (doesn’t create weird white casts, no pilling and can act like a primer). It’s a plus for me as I am acne prone.
Supergoop! New Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
My go-to perfume for when I’d like to smell soft and feminine 🥰 Best for daytime wear, casual dates, or quick lunch with friends. It smells sweet as there’s a hint of vanilla; and floral but not too overpowering.
While it might smell too sweet for ...
Chloé Eau de Parfum Lumineuse 1.7 fl oz
As it’s heavily concentrated I only use this for evening and formal events. It is deep and rich and incredibly long lasting. I love its sophisticated scent and very modern classic vibe appropriate for mid-30s that doesn’t scream ‘vintage’.
Miss Dior: the Dior Eau de Parfum with a Couture Bow | DIOR US
If you’re into hitting the beach you know that a sunscreen is essential and non-negotiable.
I highly recommend this sunscreen albeit the formula is a bit heavy for my liking making it sand-magnet. It takes a while to set on skin, so I recommend apply...
Woolworths SPF 50+ Sunscreen
With imperfection-blurring benefits of a primer, and glow of a highlighter that illuminates your skin in no time. Can be used to blend with your matte foundation to add a dewy and hydrating effect.
When you apply it, it adds a ‘digital filter’ bec...
Hollywood Flawless Filter: Glow Booster - Charlotte Tilbury
I love how universally flattering this little thing is despite it leaning cool.
What I like about this one is that, its cool tones help look my teeth whiter. Just a few dabs or light swipes on my lips, it cancels out the yellowish tones of my teeth,...
Red Matte Lipstick - Matte Revolution - Red Carpet Red
Works best if you have combination and sensitive skin like mine. While it is rich, it doesn’t come off super sticky or greasy. Absorbed well by my skin, it gives a hydrated look and healthy glow. Because my skin is sensitive, I tend to break out easi...
Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Acid Cream – Face Moisturizer - Innisfree
Love this cologne for everyday use! It is fresh floral scent and has instantly become one of my absolute favorites when I was just starting with fragrances. In the Philippines where the weather can be very hot and humid and vanilla fragrances (one of...
Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne | Jo Malone London
I only purchased it because of its bottle in my favorite color.
But seriously though, it smells gorgeous! This can be used during spring or summer, or daytime dates. It’s not loud or overpowering. Suited for hot climates, but works best for air-con...
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Magnolia, 100ml, eau de parfum
After trying out bleach highlights on my hair (which I realized it wasn’t for me because it’s too drying) I introduced Davines Oi shampoo on my hair to help nourish my dry and dull locks. It made my hair shiny and soft.
I love that they use sustaina...
OI Shampoo Hair Softening Shampoo - Davines
This is my go-to concealer for when neutralizing the dull and grey areas under my eyes. It instantly brightens my complexion giving an ‘alive’ look. Don’t skip the skin-colored liquid foundation though, as Naturactor tends to be cakey.
Because of it...
NATURACTOR Cover Foundation Spotscover concealer 20g (171)
This hand cream soothes and moisturizes my dry hands.
I love that this is natural and rich in oils.
Tends to be thick, so just scoop what you need. As they are made from natural ingredients and no preservatives they may turn rancid over time. I re...
Dream Cream Body Lotion - LUSH | Ulta Beauty
Amazing pimple patches! Works great for when I have ‘pus-y’ pimple. It absorbs the gunk and other fluids out of it.
Not sure about others, but even with my deep and cystic acnes these pimple patches work for me. It also speeds up healing and it fe...
Overnight Spot Patches | PanOxyl
I love this facial cleanser. I notice my face is less oily after washing with this, unlike the other one that I use which strips away my natural oils and leaves my face dry.
Cosrx keeps acne at bay and keeps my face moisturized. I’m just not a fan o...
Cosrx Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser 150ml
I was in search for coral/peachy toned lipstick and this was one of my choices.
I have been using this for a few months now, and what I liked about it is the texture. It is silky-matte and lightweight, unlike older formulations. Might be an unpopu...
M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick - MAC Cosmetics
My beloved shimmery little blush!!! Gives my cheeks instant “flush” with its rosy-peachy glow.
Rouge Blush: Couture Color Long-Wear Blush | Dior US
For bleached hair girls, this one’s a staple! Make sure to towel dry your hair before applying, comb through it, leave it on for 10 minutes then shampoo and condition as usual.
This really helped my hair by keeping it moisturized. We know how damag...
