Hubby asked me to come with him to the airport to deliver some stuffs bound to Cebu.  It was a good thing I said yes!  After the cargo thing we went to SM Mega mall.

I was walking around the cosmetics corner of the mall when i stopped as i see the new kabuki brush from nichido. As i was looking at the item, i was tempted to buy it, so whats a brush addict to do? I bought it for myself. So, here is my new kabuki brush from nichido....

(see how cute is it?) (i like how the brand was engraved on it)

At my first sight i instantly felt that this brush is soft. it has nylon hairs that is very much softer than natural hair which is more prickly when swirled into the face. I, personally, Love this kabuki brush so much to the point that i forgot that i also have my E.L.F. kabuki brush. I bring this little baby everyday at school or everywhere i go. And for the price, I'm so happy that i got this!

Likes:

• made out of Nylon hair
• does not feel scratchy when used on my face
• available locally
• very affordable
• color is classy and elegant
• fits on every kikay kit
• has a metal ferrule/handle for a sturdy grip
• logo is engraved in the metal ferrule/handle
• does the job very well
• does not shed
• does not bleed of course

Dislikes:

• no reason to hate at all!!

I really recommend every make-up addict to get this brush for themselves. It does the job very well for a kabuki, i mean, it can spread foundation powder on the face in a breeze and it can even apply blushers flawlessly! See how amazing this product is? Ü
Go get one for yourself! Its another "must have" in your kikay kit!


● OMG! this was a review that was saved on my draft for more than 7yrs!

and guess what, I still have this Kabuki brush 😉😉😉

ETUDE: Color Me Nude Lip Concealer

Yipee! Got my first Etude make up .   The Color me nude lip concealer.  I have always been eyeing for this concealer. Gosh! I am becoming a make up -addict!  Everytime we go malling I always see to it to buy something for myself.  This is much cheaper to purchase direct from Etude House at any malls than ordering it on ebay or multiply sites.

Product description:  a lip concealer evens out the redness in lips, creating a smooth and neutral surface for   longlasting lipstick application

Php228

Soooo excited to try this on.  

Zwitsal White Baby Lotion

I have been using this lotion for almost three years now.  As a gal with skin asthma I find it so hard to look for a product that will work on me.  My skin easily gets irritated to most lotion brands.  After trying so many  brands, finally I found my HG.  This lotion is very light on the skin.  It has a gentle pH-balanced formula that won't irritate sensitive skin.  I super love it's powdery scent.  This is also dermatologist-tested and hypo-allergenic.

PUREDERM Skin Recovery Pearl Essence Mask

I bought this product at Watsons store since I've always wanted to use a facial mask. I experienced so many firsts with this product.

- 1st facial mask that I used in my entire life
- 1st time to purchased purederm product
- 1st time to experience such skin break-out!

 I have a very sensitive skin and it's too late for me to realized that this brand of mask is not intended for sensitive skin. It's been three days now and still I have this itchy feeling and hot sensation on my face.

I envy those ladies who could use facial masks with no worries at all.

Lessons learned:  Don't be an impulsive buyer. Never ever use this product again.  /dignose

IMHO: L'oreal Nourishing Shampoo

I had my hair rebonded last October 14, my ever first rebond.  I am a gal blessed with a straight hair, genes from my mom ruled.

I need to be careful with the shampoo and conditioner that I will be using, I decided to buy L'oreal Nourishing Shampoo with royal jelly.  It says in the bottle for dry and dried out hair (heheeh! maybe just not the right choice / variant)

what I like:

-  CHEAP, it only costs me Php 139
-  smells great
-  made my hair really bagsak
-  tangles free

what I don't like:

-   hair becomes too oily and dull looking

So, maybe were not meant to be. hehehe!  The good thing is, my hubby loves using this L'oreal variant.

IMHO: AVON Ideal White Pressed Powder

Second on my IMHO list is Avon's Ideal White Pressed Powder.  I bought this together with the Dual powder foundation. I've been looking for a face powder that could compliment my oily skin.  I used to just have Johnson & Johnson's baby powder, but since it's the culprit why I developed to have blackheads I stopped using it on my face.  I use this powder as a final touch after applying foundation.

Same comments as with the Ideal White dual powder foundation,  the only difference maybe is it's not heavy on the face. This has SPF 15.

Another powder for my sister...  :D

IMHO: AVON Ideal White Dual Powder Foundation

This is my IMHO (in my honest opinion) corner:  first on the list is AVON Dual Powder Foundation, Almond shade.

what I like:

- SPF 21 / PA++
-  good coverage, can hide my pores and blemishes
- easily blends with my skin
- applies only once a day, before I leave the house.
- bought this less 15% from it's retail price (btw my sister is an Avon lady)

what I don't like:

- it oxidized my skin!
- feels heavy on the face
- a little bit greasy

I stopped using this foundation after hmmm...after 4-5 times I used it.  I just can't tolerate what it does to my face.  Maybe I am just too acidic and super oily skin that's why it didn't worked well on me.

Well, the good thing is my sister is compatible with this product so I gave it to her.
