Review: Magwai Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF50+

Hi loves!


As a woman living in the Philippines, I'm very proud of how beautiful our islands and the surrounding waters are. It is undeniable that we have one of the most beautiful and richest marine biodiversity in the world. Sadly, much degradation has happened in our seas and oceans from various causes, and some scientific studies mentioned that there are skincare ingredients toxic to our marine life. 


As a makeup and skincare enthusiast, it is very alarming to know that what we put on our bodies is damaging our beautiful corals, resulting in the loss of food and habitat for many other sea creatures. So I'm currently trying to be more careful with what products I use, researching about products from reputable sources, and I also try to recycle the containers that can be recycled.


One evening, I received an email from the brand MAGWAI offering to let me try and review their new Sheer Mineral Sunscreen. If you're not familiar with MAGWAI, it is a Filipino brand whose mission is to create products "with the intention of helping protect the ocean by offering sustainable and accessible solutions." Sounds good right? What got me so excited is that I don't think I have tried a mineral sunscreen that is described as "sheer." To be honest, I never liked using mineral sunscreens because of the white or greyish residue it leaves behind when you apply it. So a sheer one is just so interesting!

Detail Cosmetics Water Tint in Wine

Hi loves!

I'm still one of the few people wearing a face (surgical) mask when I go use the public transport. I just can't risk getting sick nowadays. That being said, I can't use lipsticks and lip glosses under the mask. But as a typical kikay girly, I hate seeing myself looking pale after I remove my mask when I get to the office. Good thing lip tints are here! Here's one of the products I use:

MAC x Lisa Liquid Lip Color in HAUTE PANTS

Hi loves!

I love red lipsticks and it was MAC Cosmetics that really got me hooked on it when I first ventured into makeup. I'm one of those who tried the classics Ruby Woo and Russian Red first and since then, I'm a red lippie girl.

So when I went to Taiwan last year, as I was browsing The Cosmetics Company store, I saw this tube from MAC:
