New Product Alert: Real Fresh Skin Detoxer

Hello loves!

Living in the city can make one feel like time flies so fast. Specially when you're part of the workforce and you have to balance your work, relationships, errands, and other such responsibilities. I personally struggle to keep everything in order and at the same time find time to spoil myself with what I like and that includes giving my skin a bit more TLC! 

I try to get my hands on products that suit my skin's needs from the right cleanser to the serums that deal with my skin concerns. I have a handful of products that I use in a daily basis as well as products that I add to my routine like exfoliants and masks. There's so many to choose from that it can be intimidating when you're new to the world of skincare. Another set back is the time you invest in applying all these some people just don't have the extra time and patience for it. I know some who do want to improve their skin, but gave up midway and even I personally skip some steps once in a while.

BUT I DO HAVE GOOD NEWS to those fellow busy bees out there who also likes to pamper their skin...

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Rose

Hello everyone!

Going for a "no-makeup" look, but still want that red, luscious yet natural looking lips? Say no more, I found the product you are looking for!

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Rose
You can get this at Beauty Bar for Php 650.00.

I am a fan of Burt's Bees lip balms because they keep my lips moisturized, but wouldn't it be better if it also adds more color to your lips while keeping them soft and smooth? Check out their tinted lip balms!

It's beautifully packaged for a lip balm tube. Important details are in the labels and they highlight that this product is 100% natural. That is one of the reasons why I like Burt's Bees. I find that what is natural is mostly mild and safe (unless you are allergic to something). 

Info from the website:

For just a hint of color and a whole lot of conditioning. The Botanical Waxes in these softly tinted balms will take your lips to lovely in one pretty swipe. They come in a range of 11 naturally flattering shades, 2 of which are new! Forest Flower and Zinnia.

• Adds a hint of natural color
• Nourishes with Shea Butter and Botanical Waxes 
• Available in 11 sheer, wearable every day shades

Anyway, the shade I have is Rose. It's a bright, sheer red shade that will make your lips look healthier! 

It smells of roses and when you apply this, there's no waxy feeling!

Here's a closeup of the product:

And the swatches:

See! It's still my lips but with a little gloss and looking hydrated and healthy. This would be perfect for those who prefer to wear little makeup or who wants a "No makeup look." I have a friend who LOVES this product and swears by it! I recommend you check out all 11 shades of this lip balms and try them for yourselves. :)

Cheers,

La Femme Blush-On Rouge in Rose and Mulberry

Hello gorgeous!

Among my makeup, I think I placed the least importance to my blushes. I'm not saying I don't use them, blush is actually a staple in my makeup routine. What I mean is that... I guess any brand will just do for me since I focus mostly on eye makeup and the lips. So I don't really mind if it's matte, if it's shimmery, if it's powdery (although maybe too chalky may turn me off), or it has a cheap packaging. As long as the color looks nice with the rest of my makeup, then it's good enough for me. Among all the makeup that gives color to the face, I don't have much blushes if you compare it to the amount of eyeshadow palettes and lipstick tubes that I have. It's probably even less than 1/4 of the eyeshadow palettes that I have. Haha! 

But recently, I got interested in buying some blushes from a friend who was selling some. She bought some during one of her travels and decided to sell some here. Anyway, I saw that these blushes have high reviews and my friend swears that they are really good so I was convinced to try them myself.

La Femme Blush-On Rouge 

I have them in Rose and Mulberry.

This blush actually comes in 52 shades. Woah!

Rose is a little more sweet, warm, medium pink color compared to Mulberry.

Mulberry is a cool toned pink, almost plum-ish.

This blushes are crazy pigmented. Here are swatches with one heavy swipe.

Left: Rose

Right: Mulberry

But of course I wouldn't dare wear them like that. I like my blushes very subtle because I tend to wear strong eye makeup or bold lipsticks. Check out the photos below to see how I use them on my cheeks.

Using Rose.

Using Mulberry.

I really like both blushes but while I was checking out the other shades, I just fell in-love with desert rose. I hope I can get my hands on that someday. :O

So what do you think of these blushes? Have you tried them out yet? :)

Cheers,
