Pony Effect Nice Shading Review (Crony)

If you are into watching Makeup videos on Youtube, you probably heard about Pony's Makeup.  I don't really get the chance to sit and watch youtube all-day long, but just in case I have a couple of minutes to spare before going to sleep, I watch Pony because I love her personality, her makeup style and just HER overall!  

So imagine the excitement when she came up with her own makeup line called Pony Effect.  How can I get my hands on them since I can't seem to travel to Korea anytime soon?  Thankfully, there's Althea and upon seeing them stock up on Pony Effect Makeup, I knew I had to give her Contour Powder a try!

Highlight for Cheeks?

Yes!  I found it!  Accidentally....

So I was in a Tony Moly store looking for another "blush" to try and to review!  I remembered how much I love Etude House Dreaming Swan Eye and Cheek, I love it so much I kept on searching for similar colored blush to give my cheeks that instant glow!

Then I went ahead and picked the Cheektone Powder From Tony Moly in P01, I've tried other Cheektone shades (Tony Moly Cheektone Power P05), I won't go wrong right?

I was a bit shocked when I came home and applied the Cheektone Powder in P01 on my cheeks without hesitation.  This is definitely way lighter than the Etude House one and the effect is, ahm...different!  It was a let-down at first for me, I thought I made a mistake and just move on!  But knowing me, I always give a "failed product" another try, lo and behold, this is turning out to be my "cheek highlighter"!  If there's such term!  I know there's highlighting products for the face and eyes, but I am claiming this to be a perfect cheek highlighter, because it does highlight my cheek bones!

My Inglot Freedom System Palette Look

So finally, I've decided to create a simple makeup look using my newest Inglot Freedom System Palette with the eyeshadows, face powder, cheek powder and lipsticks that I own in this palette!  And don't judge me AMW friends, andun na ako eh, ubusan na to ng headshot poses!  Well, it just proves that the shades made me feel comfortable enough to pose in front of the camera, even in person, I can do all those in seconds :P  Just for you my friends (konting pilit lang hahahaha)

I am aiming to put the rest of my Inglot products in this palette, this is what I LOVE about the Freedom System, I get to put whatever Inglot makeup I need especially when I'm out on staycation.  As a professional make up artist, this is the answer to my "lugging so much makeup during retouch" because I only need to carry ONE palette!  Trust me when I say, it is a total ease!

For this particular tutorial, I used ALL the products included in my Freedom System Palette.  The look can change depending on how you apply your shadows and what type of lipstick shade you would choose.  In my case, (malakas kayo sa akin), I wore all 5 lipstick shades for you to pick your favorite!  Because I'm the queen of changing lipstick between meetings, this is definitely my "trademark" for now!

Want Porcelein-Looking Skin? You May Want To Try...

Tony Moly's The Oriental Gyeol Goun Two-Way Pact.
Please do not expect to see this limited edition set at Tony Moly stores near you because I was lucky enough to grab the last few sets left a couple of months ago!  It took me a couple of tries before putting up a review.  Why?  because this shade is a tad bit light on me but I still manage to use this for review on days I don't need to face clients, you know, those random days I just face the computer!  Hahaha

The Oriental Gyeol Goun Two-Way Pact (Php1,148.00) is supposed to be just a two-way powder foundation (two way meaning, you can use this wet or dry).  Now, the limited edition set is perfect because I also get to try The Oriental Gyeol Goun BB Cream (full size priced Php1,348.00).

Php1,348.00

The shade I got is in 02 Natural Beige.  If you purchase the Two-Way Pact separately, I believe they also have Dark Beige as their darkest shade, but asking a couple of Tony Moly stores, they seem to be out of stock!

Benefit Dandelion Dew is Freshness in A Bottle!

Yes, there is indeed such thing as "Freshness in a Bottle" because every time I wear my Benefit Dandelion Dew, I always get complimented on being "fresh" even if I just came out from gazillion of meetings, work with less than 5 hours of sleep!  

I was recently gifted with a generous sample size of Dandelion Dew which is also known as a Soft Baby-Pink Radiance for Cheeks and I've been using it for weeks now and I still have a lot left!

AMW Workshop Series 2: Perfecting Your Base Report

Remember last March when I kicked off AMW Workshop Series?  (Read about it AMW Workshop Series 1: Get Ready for Summer Report)

Who would have thought just a couple of months after, I continued with part 2?  And the slots were filled in less than 2 days!  THANK YOU LORD!

Here's our obligatory Class Photo!

The workshop was held at SanCoCo still, one of my favorite coffee shops to date because they serve really good coffee!  (When I say they're good, they are REALLY GOOD)

Just like any AMW Workshop Series, all the attendees will get their own personalized Ecobag with their names printed at the same time, with the names of the sponsors printed at the back!  This is just a small way of me saying THANK YOU to the attendees and sponsors for the support.  Seriously, this has all been a dream come true for me!  

AMW Wears: Poise Makeup Hydrating Luxe Lipsticks in Boca and Vintage

Happy Monday!  Weekend was extremely crazy yet I am one Happy and Contented Girl!  The AMW Workshop Series Part 2 was finally done and I met wonderful participants over the weekend!  I will share more about that soon but today, I am sending you good vibes with 2 lipsticks I recently tried from the brand Poise Makeup.

As of the day, they don't have a lot of shades to choose from (yet) but I believe they will be bringing in more shades soon!  As for now, I am sharing my 2 top picks!  2 shades EVERY WOMAN should own!

A perfect nude and a glamorous red lipsticks!

And Poise perfected that in the name of Boca and Vintage!

Boca

Boca is a perfect nude lip color because of the presence of warm undertone making it easy to wear for all skin colors!  A fair skinned users like myself and a dark complexion can really rock this natural lip color!

An Everyday Pink Blush

Pink Blush?  *Stays away*

That's my reaction ever since I turned 30!  And that was 7 years ago so it has been a good 7 years that I haven't touched a PINK blush unless I am going to apply that on a teenager or a young client!

Then one day, I met with Poise Makeup Professional and found a subtle matte pink cheek color that I can finally call MINE.  Meant for every age.

According to Poise Makeup Professional ---
Rich pigmented formulation with minerals, vitamin E and botanical extracts to provide a silky, soft, light weight application.

Poise Makeup Professional Look

One great thing about being a Beauty Blogger is that, I get first dibs on products coming in our shores!  And recently, I got the chance to meet with people who brought in Poise Makeup Professional.

Now, who are they and why are they here?

Poise Makeup Professional just started over a decade ago and their cosmetic line caters to all skin tones and textures.  Now here's the best part, this brand is not only for regular makeup enthusiasts, these products are capable of meeting the needs of professional makeup artists too!

So I was able to play around with some of the Poise Makeup products and came up with this professional look!

Get to know the products I used and you'll get the understand what Poise Makeup Professional is all about!
