Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense - No. 23 Brick Rose

If you are looking for a perfect old rose lipstick shade, then you may want to go grab yourself a Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense. Why, you say? Continue reading then.

PRODUCT INFO:

Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense

Price: P460

Where to buy: Althea

Caress delicate lips in cushiony velvet! Our super soft creamy lip crayon delivers intense, lasting color. Innovative powder formula glides on for quicker, more precise application. Maximum moisture and matte finish without flakiness.

PERFORMANCE:

Crayon-type packaging is one of my favorites! They’re easy to use and can fit in any of my bags (big or small ones). Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense twist-up feature makes it even easier to bring and use it anytime, anywhere.

I got the shade No. 23 Brick Rose – a mauve/old rose shade. I actually thought that it will have a hint of brownish shade but turns out to be more on the pinkish side. There’s also something very feminine about this shade that I really like; maybe because it’s not too dark or nude. No need for layering because Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense is very pigmented. One swipe and you’re good to go! Mamonde really outdone themselves when they called this lippie intense.

Although the finish is semi-matte and velvety, it does not accentuate the dry areas of my lips. It glides on smoothly thanks to its creamy texture. I even tried to use it as a blusher one time and it worked too. Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense is also lightweight you won’t even remember that you have something on your lips.

The longevity of this balm is also impressive. It can stay for more than 5 hours and still leaves a hint of tint on my lips. Does it transfer? Yes, it does but very minimal. For its price, Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Intense really is a great buy for me – totally exceeded my expectations.

I’m also planning to get another one – No. 25 Rosy Silk but, it’s currently out of stock. Now, a girl has to wait for restock.

I think it was way back during my high school days since I last used a bronzer (yes, I’m already playing with makeup back then) until J.Cat Beauty Love Struck Blusher+Bronzer. I got these from J.Cat’s events I have attended, and I really wonder why I only decided to use it a week ago. This blush is so pigmented that it can even work as an eyeshadow!

Product Info:

J.Cat Beauty Love Struck Blusher+Bronzer

Price: Php299.00

Where to buy: Available at JCat Beauty Uptown Mall BGC, Alabang Town Center, Gateway Mall, Ayala the 30^th, Trinoma, Eastwood Mall, and Vertis North

Each hand-stamped Cat formatted with healthy shimmery minerals - creating the perfect balance of pigmented gives an effect of "bronzer", and no two look alike. Love struck Powder will deliver a radiant, natural finish and offer buildable color to imbue the entire complexion with an otherworldly glow.

The hand-stamped cat will truly bring out the makeup kitten in you. Just look how cute it looks – it’s a shimmering cat for heaven’s sake! And it’s not just any shimmer but a mineral shimmer for a healthier looking skin.

(FYI: J.Cat Beauty is a cruelty-free makeup brand so your cats are safe)

Performance

Love Struck has many shades to choose from, and what I have are Honey Bunches and Coral Dumpling. These two don’t differ much in terms of color. Honey Bunches is more on a brownish pink shade while Coral Dumpling is a pinkish coral shade. Take note ladies that the shimmer is only an overspray which will eventually come off after 2-3 uses.

The blusher bronzer itself is so pigmented, just look at the swatches above. It can get a bit powdery though, but not something to make a big deal of. Out of the two shades I have, I prefer Coral Dumpling for daily use. The color is not too strong and compliments my skin color. It gives a fresh look without overdoing it. I’m actually saving the cat part and only use the shade outside of the cat shape. The finish of the shade outside of the cat shape is semi-matte with a hint of dewiness from the shimmers.

J.Cat Love Struck Blusher+Bronzer can be used as eyeshadow too, thanks to its pigmented colors. Wear time is also impressive as it can last half of the day. For its P299 price tag, hindi ka na lugi.

Summer is truly here, and one thing that we shouldn’t skip is putting on sunscreen. Most of us skip this part of their daily skin care and makeup routine but that’s because they haven’t found the right and best sunscreen. I’ve had my fair share of sunscreens and when one of my favorite brands – dear Klair’s – released theirs, I know I have to have it.

Product Info

Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF50 PA++++

Price: USD23.00 / PHP1,200

Where to buy: Wishtrend / Althea

Packaging

I love how Klairs does their packaging, they’re simple yet classy. Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence housed in a white minimalistic packaging with a holographic accent. The box itself is very attractive and trendy which made me remember how Korean cosmetics wowed the beauty industry with their unique and pretty style of packing their products.

The tube itself mirrors the box – white with holographic effect. Squeezing the product out is easy and definitely bigger than most sunscreens out there. I think this could last me at least 2-3 months give or take. I only use mine every morning before I do my makeup, but it could last longer depending on your usage.

Performance

The texture of Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence is somewhere between cream and gel. It’s actually almost watery but not runny. Its white color will make you think that it’s a tinted sunscreen but it actually isn’t.

Weightless, scentless, non-greasy, and seamless are the words to best describe Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence. Because of those characteristics, I started to love sunscreens again. I usually skip it every morning especially if the product has strong scent, but that’s not the case with this one. It gets absorbed instantly upon application which allows me to quickly proceed with my moisturizer and makeup afterwards.

For someone with dry skin, Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence is not so bad in moisturizing department. I still have to put on a small amount of moisturizer on top of it before foundation, though. It’s like the first layer of defense of my skin against dryness and the harmful UVA and UVB.

It also leaves a dewy finish and makes you think that you’re not wearing any sunscreen at all AND a vegan friendly too – which makes it the best thing ever.

Nu Skin’s ageLOC LumiSpa’s exclusive skin movement technology now works as a targeted treatment for the eye area.

During college days I always noticed how my eyes didn't get too puffy or too dark even after long nights. Now that I have my full time job, the appearance of dark circles is starting to show. While my current eye care routine manages to lessen the visibility of my under-eye bags, puffiness and dark circles, I still think that I need more. More rest, that is. But with Nu Skin’s ageLOC LumiSpa Accent and IdealEyes all of the said concerns shall be answered.

Just last March 12, 2019, Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. launched the ageLOC LumiSpa Accent and ageLOC LumiSpa IdealEyes in the Philippines, a new targeted treatment that harnesses the power of ageLOC LumiSpa to rejuvenate skin around the eyes.

What is ageLOC LumiSpa Accent and ageLOC LumiSpa IdealEyes?

ageLOC LumiSpa Accent and ageLOC LumiSpa IdealEyes were inspired by the multi-functionality and the patented Micropulse Oscillation technology of ageLOC LumiSpa paired with the treatment cleansers. The ageLOC LumiSpa Accent tip, made from the gentlest silicone available, has a unique topography with offset peaks and troughs and oscillates back and forth to precisely move skin without overstimulating it. Like ageLOC LumiSpa treatment heads, the ageLOC LumiSpa Accent tip is also d esigned to gently exfoliate skin and is embedded with anti-microbial silver, which is more hygienic than other topical devices used on skin. Nu Skin conducted several preliminary studies that revealed that individuals who used the ageLOC LumiSpa Accent product pairing experienced improvements in reduced appearance of puffiness, eye bags, fine lines and wrinkles.

The ageLOC® LumiSpa Accent Launch kit includes the ageLOC LumiSpa device with Normal Surface Head, ageLOC LumiSpa Cleanser, ageLOC LumiSpa Accent with silicone head, ageLOC LumiSpa IdealEyes, and a quick start guide. It’s available since 13 March 2019 with a retail price of PHP 20,000. For more information, please visit www.nuskin.com.ph

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try the ageLOC LumiSpa Accent during the launch but I heard how good and nice the skin feels right after using it. Don’t worry though as I have the ageLOC LumiSpa idealEyes to try and review for you guys. So, watch out for it, okay?
