Make Up For Ever Concealer Matte Velvet Skin Concealer review

 

“How to look fresh?  How to be fresh?”

These are just some of the many DMs I get on my Instagram and I guess I have to address this question.  I have said this so many times that I do my best to use the least amount of base makeup as much as possible to give room for my skin to breath.  

I only use both concealer and foundation when I go to physical events in the past but nowadays, with events all ZOOM away, I pick either Foundation only or concealer only.  I recently found a really good concealer so I am sharing it here immediately.

It is the Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Concealer (Php1,700.00).

Our 1st 24HR wear breathable, full coverage matte concealer. Co-created with our pro makeup artists, this full-coverage, blurring concealer is waterproof, sweat-proof, transfer-proof, and delivers 24-hour wear. Lightweight and airy, this blendable, multitasking formula has an extra-large applicator and a precision tip for use all over the face to conceal under-eye circles, correct spots, or to contour.

MULTI-USE FLEXIBLE FORMULA

A multi-tasking product for all-over application: Conceal – Correct – Contour

FULL COVERAGE, 24HR WEAR

Waterproof formula stays on all day.

BREATHABLE, MATTE FINISH

Airy, lightweight formula provides a breathable matte finish that doesn’t cake, flake or fade.

Available in 22 Shades

AMW says—-

• The packaging!  I am so happy it is a huge doe-foot applicator!  Based from the look of packaging, I originally thought it will be a pump tube and I am happy to be wrong!
• Wide range of shades.  My shade 2.5 is perfect!
• Gives mediumt o medium heavy coverage!  I can literally just use this and I m set for the whole day.
• Covers imperfections naturally - from dark undereye circles to redness.
• Matte but NON drying.
• Does not dry out my already dry skin.
• Does not oil up midday, non greasy. 
• Does not move.  My skin looks fab even testing this while working out and cooking!
• Lightweight and never heavy-feel.

BEAR by FOREO Sweden Review

If you own one FOREO product, you'd want a second or even third unit!  After using UFO by FOREO and seeing results in less than a month's usage, I have high hopes on this next beauty helper!

As FOREO would say: "BEAR - the skincare that works out so you don't have to."

Also quoted as "The Most Electrifying Facial Fitness Innovation Ever!"  

BEAR is a device that features superior microcurrent and T-Sonic™ pulsations that tighten & firm your skin for a youthful, contoured complexion. BEAR™ & BEAR™ mini are also the only at-home microcurrent devices that feature Anti-Shock System™ - a unique integrated system that eliminates any chance of the microcurrent shocking your skin - making them the safest microcurrent devices in the world! And that’s not all - BEAR™ offers more microcurrent intensities than any other at-home device, allowing you to experience a more personalized and effective treatment.    

With that in mind, I am more comfortable and confident in using such device so I added the device into my FOREO app immediately and started the program for the past 2 weeks.

With this device, you also need to use a serum (any serum that is gel-like never oil-based) or best to start with FOREO's Serum Serum Serum which is a Conductive Serum.

AskMeMom: Safe and Natural Antibacterial Dishwashing Liquid

I used to say: "Dishwashing Liquid?  Ba't kelangan pang mahal?".  

Then everything turned around when I became a mom!  Everything I use in the household has to be SAFE!  Especially since my son has the tummy of his dad!  #SensitiveTummyProblems

Aside from making sure the sponge used for cleaning his utensils is separate from ours, I actually was looking for a better dishwashing liquid and found it finally via Cusina!  

"Cusina Natural Antibacterial Dishwashing Liquid uses the power of nature instead of harmful chemicals to fight bacteria.  It contains tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils for its innate antimicrobial and antiseptic properties and doesnt' rely on synthetic chemicals like triclosan."

There are a total of 3 scents to try --- Lemongrass Citrus, Ginger Yuzu Peel and Grapefruit Lemon Zest. 

Out of the 3, well they all smell great but I'm partial to Grapefruit Lemon Zest!  Thankfully, all 3 do not have the "artificial fruit" scent most commercial dishwashing liquid offers.  

Overall, I am a happy momma!  It removes oil, dirt and leaves my utensils smelling great!!!  And so far, one bottle lasts a bit more than a month!

Visit www.cusinahome.com for more product information.  Follow them on IG @Cusinahome .

As a mom, do you use a separate dishwashing liquid for your kids? 

If not, how do you make sure to keep them safe?

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

 

Initial Thoughts: Bobbi Brown Art Stick

As soon as I got the newest "Art Stick" from Bobbi Brown PH, I gave an immediate "sigh" and raised my arm to surrender!  I'm surely gonna lose this battle!  Just the sight of this jumbo wooden pencil, I'm probably saying "bye bye" to this and give it to someone who has better (a.k.a. more moisturized lips) than I do!

But after reading about the inspiration behind the Art Sticks (note: I love reading Bobbi Brown's inspiration on each makeup line she creates!) I was actually surprised seeing the 2 adjectives --- creamy and moisturizing.  They must be kidding me!

AMW Reviews: Colour Collection Lip Therapy

Hi AMW friends!
I'm now sitting comfortably at my friend's dining area at 4:10pm Manila Time  but 1:10am California time!  If you ask me if we settled in comfortably enough?  Yes and No.  Yes we're pretty much comfortable with the places we stay but NO our body clock is messed up! 

Just so some of you may not get bored with my US trip report, I've decided to share my most recent Lip Therapy which I've been loving so far from Colour Collection.  The Colour Collection Lip Therapy is Bianca Valerio's favorite lip balm as of the moment and after using this for more than a week (especially here where it's cold and dry), I very happy to share my thoughts on this!

Housed in a white and gold packaging making this look like a regular lipstick rather than a lip balm!
