RANDOM 2019 THOUGHT

I'm having a reaaal sentimental moment here tonight (af) am I cool now? Lol!
It's been a while though, hello guys :)
I just had few questions in my mind which are longing for answers and maybe a little bit of pain in my heart which is longing for affection as I continue typing, or maybe I just want someone to talk to (or maybe not someone) because I'm in front of my laptop hahaha.
My mind's been really full lately and it's weighing too much.
I am the optimistic type. Apparently, sometimes or should I say most of the times, I tend to be sensitive and keen of the words thrown to me. I mean if it's not hard, I would've not called it throw. People around me are so not careful of the words they say against me and it makes me feel really, really sad. Do they ever think about my feelings? As far as I know, I'm human too and I'm feeling exactly how they feel.
I'm tired of feeling pain. We all are, right? Hoping that one day, someone or something can ease all that and turn it onto something wonderful.
God is always there in all those pain and I tell you guys, He's that someone who can turn pain to something really nice and it will be unexpected.
Sometimes though, I must admit that I am being blinded by worldly emotions and forgetting this. Maybe now I am? I don't want this, which is exactly the reason why I am writing now, instead of throwing back "not careful" words back to people. So yea I really called it "not careful" because I don't want to call it bad. OMG I just called it! *inserts wtf did I say emoji*
Anyway, I'm feeling better now. Guess this is the perk of being too forgetful because you easily forget and then forgive follows. Thank you Lord for your grace. Please never ever be tired of me even though at times I'm tired of myself :(
So I'm done guys. Good night!

REVIEW: 4U2 Cosmetics - Celebrity Facial Foam

Oh hi there dolls! How are you?

It’s been a while but then I always want to share another makeup review to everyone. I know for sure that you miss this, and so do I.

Alright if you’re new to my page you might want to ask why I have a lot of posts featuring this drugstore makeup brand which sells affordable yet excellent cosmetic items. Answer is simply because this is my personal favorite and I just can’t help but my everyday makeup bag ensures that it has some products from the brand.

Without further due, let me start this blog review presenting new pieces from the Celebrity line of 4U2 Cosmetics!

The picture below will show you the items that I want to evaluate.

Aha I know you will notice how nice the packaging isn’t it? I love it too! Well if you’re here in the Philippines and may have the chance to drop by to any SM or Robinson’s Department Store, you will recognize 4U2 if you see a makeup counter with lot of pink colors in it and girly-looking stuff which makes it very attractive in my own personal opinion. Hehe. However, the change in color or should I mean packaging with this Celebrity line makes it unique among the items you can find in the brand which I kinda love!

But before makeup... Let's see first how 4U2 skin care product works on my skin! Really excited for this.

Okay now, I'm gonna share you my personal opinion about the newest..

4U2 Cosmetics - Celebrity Facial Foam

Facial Foam - Specially formulated with the perfect combination of cleansers and soothing natural extracts for effective and gentle deep cleansing, and facial skin moisturizing and revitalization. 4U2 Celebrity.... be somebody flawless!

SWATCH

As you can see, the facial foam has a really creamy and thick consistency which is actually perfect for people who has oily to combination skin. In my case, I have normal to dry skin but then I must say that this product contains magic as everything goes through. Will discuss it thoroughly later!

Let's now proceed with the application process..

This is my bare skin before using the Celebrity Facial Foam. It is very huge and contains 100g of product. Definitely a turn on! :)

So there it goes.. I do not actually know that it has little cleansing beads and I was surprised that I feel my skin is moisturized. I can feel softness which is very rare among all the foamy cleansers I tried before. As I have said, there are times when my skin is dry and when I tested using foamy facial wash before, I didn't went good. I felt that my skin's natural moisture was totally stripped off by the product. But with the 4U2 Celebrity cleanser, I felt really satisfied with the result. I care about my skin so much and I'm glad to found another brand which will definitely become a part of my skincare regimen! :)

The photo above shows the final result after using the cleanser. It has no filter! Notice that there are glow in my cheeks and nose area which means that the natural moisture of my skin has retained and I felt really refreshed after all. If I were to rate this facial foam, it will surely be a 10 out of 10! In fact, I'm planning to switch brand starting now. Haha. Cause this might have been the one of the best among all the cleansers I've tried before. Will definitely recommend this to my girl friends! Looking forward for more skin care products from the brand like serum and moisturizer. Last thing I can say is that 4U2 never disappoint me! :)

Thank you so much guys for giving extra time reading this article. Hope this helps you find out a good quality facial foam/wash. Reviews about the Celebrity Makeup will be up very soon. Have a good day ahead! :)

JOB EXPERIENCE: Hotelier in Joya Lofts and Towers

Hi! I'm saying this to all the beautiful people in this world especially the ones who started reading this blog. I know it's been a while since I share something about myself here. Well, I know this article will not be the same as my usual beauty product reviews or makeup guide but then you know guys how much I love sharing stories with you! :)

With the title itself, this blog will pertain to my current experience as a front office associate in Joya Lofts and Towers located inside the Rockwell community in Makati.

Lemme first show you a picture of my workplace.

Now, I'm gonna share you my experience.. :)

My first day of work was really surprising! As they say, expect the unexpected. I got A LOT of information that I need to learn which seriously made my brain overload. Lol. I have something to confess. I want to quit back then! Haha. Now I'm laughing at myself because of that mindset for my first day, considering that I am a fresh graduate and this was my first job. (Maarte problems) :D

As time goes by, I start adapting the work environment and give myself a venue for adjustment. With the help of my colleague slash / trainor, I am able to face actual experiences during my training period. I am so much glad and felt so welcome because they are all very accommodating. They're open to answer my questions which made me feel like I am welcome. That time I realize that a good sense of belongingness can actually convince someone to stay in a certain place. I know you know what I mean guys. :)

By the way, here's another photo showing me (of course) and my work desk.

As of now, I am often assigned to AM duties which enable me to experience and witness a lot of things every single day. YES, A LOT! But I'm proud to say that. Yea, isn't that cool? Lol!

Anyway, to be serious, being a front office associate is never easy in my personal opinion. Everyday is actually a challenge and an opportunity! I got to meet a lot of people from different parts of the world, talk to them, assist them and most importantly, exchange smiles with them. It requires a lot of effort, patience and what more? Maybe the most important thing is the sense of being hospitable at all times.

But then I guess these traits should just be normal for people who really love their work (like I do I guess ^_^). I am starting to love my job! All of you guys know how much I love to make videos and upload it on YouTube. That same excitement that I feel is actually becoming the same feeling that I have right now upon waking up knowing that I was about to go to work. I don't know! I just felt it one day. :)

Today was actually my 1st month at work but feels like it's just a week. Maybe because time flies when you're happy? Hehe :) I just went home and decided to make this blog just to share feelings to you guys! There's nobody else I can tell this because I am living quite far from my family in Laguna so please understand and cooperate. Whatt? Haha!

Before I end this, just want to say THANK YOU to you guys for always being there to know my stories and read my opinions. Actually, one of my aim for this is to inspire you all to choose the path which you know will make you a fulfilled individual. Go big or go home! :)

Until next time guys..

P.S. I'm gonna film a new makeup tutorial this week. Woohoo!

REVIEW: Etude House Drawing Eye Brow

Hello there my beautiful friend! Lately, I've been so much busy in job hunting so please forgive me for not being updated here in my blog. :) Anyway, I know that you're interested in today's article cause I will be reviewing another brow product! Yay! Let's start now.

First, lemme show a picture of the product.

Etude House - Drawing Eye Brow Pencil (Shade #3)

The above photo shows how the product looks like when the caps were removed.

PACKAGING

It has a simple & nice appearance which at first glance, you'll know that it is an eyebrow pencil. It is a retractable pen and easy to use because of the angled applicator. Also, I like the idea that it has a spooly brush on the other side cause you don't need to buy one! :)

SWATCH

You can notice its black-brown shade which for me is perfect for people who have black-haired brows like I do! Haha. Do I say it right? Nyway, I am obsessed with the shade. Feels like it's the perfect one for me.

APPLICATION

Please don't mind my messy brows. Haha! Just look at how the shade looks like when applied on the eyebrows. Lol

Etude House Eye Brow Pencil (shade #3),  in my personal opinion, is my brow's best friend! Yes.. Notice how the shade looks very natural on me. :)

OVERALL OPINION

I love this product! Actually, this was my second time using the product cause I already emptied one before. The shade is simply amazing! I have been a huge fan of brow product before so I got to try a lot of them. And this one, I must say that it's one of the best for me. Very convenient to use, stays for a long time, plus it gives me a really natural-looking finish! Would definitely repurchase one again! I highly recommend this to you guys. :)

PRICE

PHP148 making it very affordable considering the quality that it'll give you!

Thank you so much guys for reading! Hope you enjoy it. :)

Do not forget to send me message or leave a comment below if you have any request! I would love to see them. :)

REVIEW: 4U2 Cosmetics Sexxy Me Lusty Matt Lipstick & Lip Fixx Matt Concealer

Welcome to another blog beautiful people! :) Lately, I've been so much obsessed with bold lip color and I do not know the reason why. Haha. You know the trend nowadays! Also, I became in love with matte lipsticks lately. So much for the introduction, I will now show you some pictures of the products that we will be reviewing today.

Another items that I got from my favorite local makeup brand..

4U2 Cosmetics - Sexxy Me Lusty Matte Lipstick (Shades #1 & #3) and Lip Fixx Matt Concealer (Shade #3)

Above is a picture of the products when you opened the box.

These are what was written at the back part.

PACKAGING

I personally like the packaging of all the lip products above. All are attractive to the eye and looks very chic and girly! :)

SWATCH

I tried the products at the back of my hand and here it goes.

The color of the two lipsticks are amazing! I am so in love with them like ugh.. make me want to try all the shades! Haha. The consistency is creamy and it dries with a soft-matte finish. The lip concealer seems like a nude lipstick. It has a lip healing service which I think is perfect for moisturizing dry and chapped lips.

APPLICATION

4U2 Cosmetics - Sexxy Me Lusty Matt Lipstick (SHY 03)

 I SUPER LOVE THIS SHADE! :) This is actually my first time to try this kind of color and I immediately added this to my favorites. When I wear this, feels like I'm totally confident with myself although I somehow look like a bad girl. Haha. YOLO! I will wear this whenever I want. My friends even told me that it's beautiful and that's what matters. :)

4U2 Cosmetics - Sexxy Me Lusty Matt Lipstick (SHY 01)

 MADE ME WANNA ROCK RED LIPS! Hahaha. I'm a big fan of pink lip colors and this one made me wanna wear red lips even on daytime! I love the finish of the lipstick. It stays for a long time.

 4U2 Cosmetics - Lip Fixx Matt Concealer (SHF 03)

This is the first lip concealer I've ever tried and I must say that it's really good. It can be use to lighten the color of your lipstick or even just a base. This one even has moisturizers & collagen and sun protection too which are plus factors!

OVERALL OPINION

I think it's too obvious how happy I am to have the chance to try this lip products. Haha! I SOO LOVE THEM, that's all I can say. The smell is good. I like the soft-matte finish cause it doesn't dry up my lips. It stays for a long time. Everything is really nice about them. The lip concealer is adorable cause you may use it in many ways. About the lipsticks, I would definitely want to try other shades like pink and nude! :)

Thank you so much guys for always being with me while I'm sharing my happy thoughts about makeup. Haha. I appreciate all the support you gave me! And by the way, I was recently partnered with StyleHaul and that would not be possible without all of you. Love lots! :)

I used the SHY 03 lipstick in one of my makeup tutorial. Please watch my recent video here: http://youtu.be/qmN69gnMFuo

REVIEW: 4U2 Cosmetics Eyeshadows

Hi guys! I'm so excited share this review to everyone because I will be featuring some of my favorite products from all my makeup collection. If you're curious why, please stay tuned and let's get started! :)

I always tell everyone how much I personally LOVE makeup or even skincare products from 4U2 Cosmetics. I am no being biased here but 4U2 actually exceeds my expectation with their products.

Today, I will be reviewing eyeshadows from different line of the brand. Here they are! <3

4U2 Cosmetics - Bel-Air Brands Inc.

4U2 Glitz Eyeshadow (Shade #2) - Fashionable and practical colors and highlighter to dramatize your eyes. New, long lasting and soft touch formulation. It's really you!

4U2 SPLASH! Velvet Eyeshadow 4 (Shade #7) - Vibrant colors with perfect highlighters. New formulation with velvety soft feel. Let the eyes have it. Come on - Make a SPLASH!

4U2 Envy Eternity 3 Color Eyeshadow (Shade #1) - Enviable new color combinations to take you from here to eternity. Travels well. Get envy into your life... it's no deadly sin!

PACKAGING

Can't explain how much I adore the packaging of all the three shadows above! They're all very attractive and pleasing to the eye. I bet every girl (especially teens) would love the packaging of the brand. Each item is very handy and travel-friendly. In my case, I always put them in my makeup bag and consider them as my go-to eyeshadows.

SWATCH

Here are some photos showing how each color looks like when applied on the skin..

All shades are richly pigmented! :)

The colors in this shadow quad are amazing!

The shades look similarly with the first shadow trio but they're actually different.

OVERALL OPINION
For someone who is always on the go like me, these eye shadows are perfect! Yes. The packaging, texture and pigmentation are all adorable. You'll totally love every aspect of this product! Although what I noticed is that the brand does not produce matte shadows. All of the three shadows I showed you guys are composed of shimmery shades. However, they're still wearable for daytime. You just need to tap your brush first before applying this on your eye lids. Having the chance to try these three made we wanna try the other shades too! I definitely recommend this product to someone who is looking for good quality shadows. Worth every money you pay. :)


That's it for this review session! Thank you so much everyone for reading this. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing all the articles in my blog.

REVIEW: Nichido Minerals Precise Eye Pencil

Hey beautiful people! Welcome to my very first brow product review! :)

Nichido is a local makeup brand here in the Philippines. I have tried some of their products before and I was satisfied with all the items that I got from them. They were able to produce affordable yet good quality cosmetics. For now, I will be sharing you my thoughts about their Precise Eye Pencil which I uses as a brow liner instead of eye. :) Here are some photos..

Nichido - Minerals/Precise Eye Pencil

 I asked the beauty consultant of Watsons on what shade will suit me best and she gave me 'Chestnut'. She told me that this shade is their best seller! Just a trivia, she also mentioned that this is the brow pencil used by a famous makeup artist here in my place, San Pablo City, Laguna. Can't reveal who he is! :D

As you can see, the product is water resistant and allergy-tested. It is made in Czech by Goldline Cosmetics. :)

SWATCH
I love swatching makeup products at the back of my hand!

I love its black brown shade. It's perfect for my dark colored eyebrows. Haha!

APPLICATION

Below is a picture of my bare brows. I used a spooly first to comb the hair so it will be in place.

Here is a picture of my brows after I put on the Nichido Minerals Precise Eye Pencil in Chestnut.

You can really see how brows frame the eyes. :)

OVERALL OPINION

Another brow pencil to be in love with! Haha. Forgive me guys, I just love collecting products which are intended for brow use. We know how much brows can change up a look so I really exert effort in finding the right product for me. :) Look at the photo above, the shade looks very natural for me. The consistency is not too waxy so it's just enough. I strongly recommend this to everyone who wants good quality brow pencil but is on a budget! :)

Thank you so much guys for reading! Hope this inspires you to fix your own brows. Please take note of this statement which is always mentioned by Mish, "Brows are not twins. They're sisters." So if you are afraid to tame and groom your brows because you think they're uneven, that's natural! You don't want them to look identical. Trust me! Most of my friends are telling me that they're afraid lining their brows. Don't be afraid guys! That's why I'm your friend here, don't hesitate to ask me any question about brows. I would love to answer that! :) Hope to see you in my next blog. Bye for now. *BIG HUGS* :)
