Once You Pop, You have to Wear It!

Once I popped my newest Pop Beauty Matte Velvet Lipstick in Pink Porcelain, I thought I'll leave it or give it away because it was too "cool-toned" pink and you know how it looks on a fair-skinned girl with warm undertone ---> SICK!

Thankfully, I was able to pull off such color because my hair looks darker than before, I find it that having light ash brown hair makes it difficult for me to pull off cool toned lip colors, do you feel the same?

Good news to girls who are looking for Paraben-free makeup products, I recently had a friend who messaged me asking for brands who offer such and guess what?  Pop Beauty fits the Paraben-free bill!

Beauty Lab Bohktoh + Nippon: Nongchat in Manila!

When it comes to Make Up Artistry, I am one firm believer that there will always be room for learning, there will always be room for improvement.

So when I learned Thai's Top Make Up Artist Nongchat is coming to Manila for a ONE DAY workshop/masterclass, I knew I had to be there.  Thanks to Nippon Esthetics and Bohktoh for sending me an exclusive invite.

The long wait was finally over, the day arrived but the bad news is, I was really sick and the weather wasn't even cooperating!  Arming myself with 101% willpower, I knew I can't miss the chance of the lifetime so I went.

The event was held at The Green Sun Hotel and you wouldn't believe how early my fellow makeup artists were!  The workshop starts at 9:00am and I arrived quarter to 8:00am and the place was almost packed with make up artists buzzing with excitement.  I almost forgot I was sick when I arrived there!

The wonderful part aside from the workshop is, the presence of sponsors.  A Pop-up is available (and open to public) for that day with exclusive discounts.

POP Beauty Pop-Art Look

So you all know how much I enjoyed the "natural pop" I get from using Pop Beauty Pop Your Natural Beauty Honey Haze palette. on my previous post.  Today, I'm creating more POP-Art-like pop using my NEW Pop Beauty Products.

Okay, that's a lot of "pop" in one phrase!

Spot the difference?

Well, it's the lipstick!  I did a bit of lipstick-changing but I'll show you how I created such an easy look that warms my face and works well on photos (even in person!)

POP Beauty Founder and makeup artist, Sara Strand created new products (featured here) to achieve a flawless base and give more definition to the brows, cheeks and lips.  Part of the latest offerings are Velvet Powder Base, Peak Performance Brow, Insta-Brow Sealer, Highlight and Bright, Contour 101 and Matte Velvet Lipstix. 

Scroll further down as I feature 4 out of the 6 products from the collection.

My Pop Your Favorite Natural Beauty Honey Haze Look in 3 minutes

How can you be sure a nude, bronze-y, no make-up look will look good on you?

Get the set that comes with eyeshadow, bronzer/blush and a lippie!  That's what I did when I ordered my Pop Beauty Pop Your Natural Beauty Honey Haze palette from BeautyMNL. 

I've been using this set for more than a week --- I am obsessed!  And I can create this look in 3 minutes flat!  Or even less!  So I call this set a "No brainer" set on days I don't want to think too much about the products I put on my face!

Do you like it?  I hope so!

The set looks like this!  It comes with the ff:

Sunkissed Bronzer in Secret Sunshine

Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio in Naturally Bare

Pouty Pop Crayon in Barely Bitten

The set costs Php695.00 which is super worth it in my opinion especially since I am looking to try Pop Beauty products and I don't know where to start!  Any other Pop Beauty Recommendations out there?

So there's a new makeup shopping haven on cyberspace, it's called www.BeautyMNL.com, after seeing fellow Beauty Bloggers' hauls over their IG account, I know I am really interested to give this service a try!  After browsing through their site, I was impressed!  They have so many brands to offer and I'm even more surprised to see brands I've been lemming for a long time and almost ordered from the US to have them shipped all the way here!
