Nature Republic Collagen Pop Glosses in Sugar Candy and Sugar Red

Hey guys!

Like sweet scented lippies?

Well I have some right here and they smell AND taste sweet, plus they have sparkles! It's every kikay kid's dream! I can hear my 8 year old self screaming, "I want one!!"

Nature Republic Collagen Pop Glosses

The price is Php 285.00 each.

Not sure if this is still available. I can't seem to find this in Nature Republic websites. When I bought one of these, it was already on sale so I dunno if they were just finishing the last stocks. I guess it's best if you ask the SA's in stores. :P

I got 2 shades—Sugar Candy and Sugar Red.

Some info I saw from one online store site:

Capacity : 6g

-Marine Collagen from Deep-Sea Fish and red Seaweed

-marine collagen filling spheres help to increase lip fullness, immediately and over time.

Collagen POP Gloss is a moisturizing treatment gloss that sugar lips instantly. It includes tiny, dehydrated, marine collagen microspheres. Immediately absorbed by the lips, creating a mild swelling effect in the lip tissue. The result is fuller, smoother, perfectly lovely lips in seconds. 

How to use :

Take a small amount and apply from the center of your lips with the tip, gently spread it evenly.

Available in 5 shades: 

Color : 02 Sugar Candy ,03 Sugar Cherry ,04 Sugar Berry ,05 Sugar Red

Here's a closeup of the applicator.

It looks kinda thin but it holds a decent amount of product.

Swatches on my arm

Sugar Candy has a light peachy pink shade while the other, Sugar Red, is... well, red! Both give great color payoff but are still translucent for a milder, sweeter look. The glitters are fine and you don't feel any grittiness when you press your lips together.

Below are pictures the glosses on my lips:

Sugar Candy

Sugar Red

I especially love Sugar Candy because it looks sooooo cute! I love the scent and these glosses are just yummy! Haha! That makes it difficult to test the lasting power because I can't stop licking them off. Hahaha! But I guess it lasts the same as most glosses—probably a couple of hours or as soon as you eat/drink. Dunno about the plumping effect... I don't notice it on me. :P

So what do you think of super sweet smelling and tasting glosses?

Any thoughts on Nature Republic Collagen Pop Glosses?

Review : Etude House Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick

Hey loves! :D

How's your halloween celebration? 

Mine was not too exciting so I'll just leave it at that. Haha!

Anyway, for today's post, let me share with you my thoughts on...

Etude House Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick

This is Php 398.00 each.

I got this for free from the Etude House Playhouse Princess Academy last July.

This product belongs to their Bling in the Sea Collection.

Product details from the press release:

1. Bling-bling tear effect with plenty pearls

•Surrounding Twinkle System makes arcane and fantastic eyes with various appearance of glitters by different angles

*Surrounding Twinkle System : New-concept technology with fine particles to maximize sparkling and it is possible to show various colors of glitters by the angle of 360º 

2. Waterproof

STAY FIT SYSTEM lets makeup stay on for long time period and it makes possible to have fun in the water with strong water & sweat resistance

3. Smooth texture with light fitness 

It will fit on eyes instantly with light fitness and smooth texture 

4. 3-In-One Stick Liner 

Multi stick liner that has Tear effect liner+ Eye liner + Eye shadow in one stick

This is available in 5 shades:

Bling Sunshine, Bling Pearl,

Bling Ocean, Bling Coral,

and Bling Wave.

The shade I received is Bling Pearl.

Above photos are closeups on the details labeled on the product

The packaging really fits the collection. The color and the design has that ocean feel to it.

Below's a swatch of the product on my arm:

I got that finish with just one swipe but you can still build it up for a more vibrant effect. But I don't think that it will have the same effect as the swatch on the press release which is on a black background. On skin, it's a lot more subtle.

Here's the product applied on my eye lid:

It has a sparkly, water-like finish... like water glistening on your eyes. But I didn't apply primer there. Though I doubt that it would do much difference if I did. This product has a very subtle effect and is mainly for adding sparkles. It does feel light and even if it's all sparkly, it feels smooth. 

It is waterproof. I've placed the swatch on running water and rubbed it a couple of times and the sparkles were still there. This creases on oily lids though so I guess a good primer can help with that. And you have to wait 'til it sets because it easily rubs off or transfers from skin to skin... so if you try to spread it using your fingertips, expect that it will transfer to your fingertips. Booo.

What I LIKE:

Pearl-like shine

Sparkles!

Locally Available

Waterproof

Can be an eyeliner and eyeshadow

Available in 5 shades

Feels light and smooth

Packaging

What I am NEUTRAL about:

Price

What I DO NOT LIKE:

Creases on oily lids

Too subtle finish (I like bold colors)

Transfers easily from skin to skin

Would I buy one again?

Probably not. I'm more fond of powder eyeshadows. Though I find the pearlescent, sparkly finish beautiful, I don't see myself using it that much. But I do think that people who like simple but radiant makeup would like this. :)

That's it for the review! What do you think of Etude House's Proof 10 Bling Eye Stick?

Cheers,

Dazzle Deoconcealer

Hello dears,

This post is hard for me to write because it deals with an issue that I have been embarrassed about for more than a decade now—dark underarms.

You see, when I was approaching puberty, my mom made me apply rubbing alcohol on my armpits to avoid accumulating bacteria so that I won't get B.O. She was a very practical person and we weren't financially well off during those days and both my mom and I have no idea what the consequences will be. So I did what I was told which eventually led to my underarms getting darker and darker. Because of this, I don't wear sleeveless clothes nor raise my arms high. I don't even like going to resorts or beaches because I would always try to hide this problem of mine under a shirt. It's also difficult finding a nice formal dress because most of the pretty ones (at least the designs I like) exposes the underarms.

I've been trying to find the best way to whiten my underarms but still haven't found the right treatment that I can afford (suggestions are always welcome). I just started working and I guess to whiten them is one of the things I am saving up for because I'm getting tired of hiding and being embarrassed. But for now that I'm still in the process of saving up, I found this local product from Strip It's Facebook Page and got curious...

Dazzle Deoconcealer

I was decided to buy one so I PM-ed Arlette, the person behind Strip It!, and she was generous enough to send me one for free along with the big tub of the Strip It! Cold Wax I ordered.

I received a new and improved version of the concealer.

The dazzle concealers sold in the past has low content of Vit E and B3 so skin lightening wasn't included in its product features before. But the latest productions have high content already and so they're marketed to be skin lightening as well. 

"Your deodorant for special occasions! Now Enhanced with Vit E and B3 that helps lighten the skin!"

Oh it's alcohol-free! What a relief! 

The actual price of the improved formula is Php350 but I think it is sold in a discounted price of Php300 which was the original price for the old Dazzle formula. I'm not sure if this is still on-going because the promo depends on the stocks. 

Dazzle Deoconcealer

-an underarm concealer that also acts as an anti-perspirant & deodorant. It's alcohol free and has a mild scent. Great for special occasions, parties, performances and pictorials. 

Size is 10g (similar to a travel size deo)

 Available in two shades: Ivory and Baby Rose

You can check more information about the deoconcealer and their other items on their website or Facebook page.

Packaging is pretty nice. I like how portable it is and the design is very beautiful and feminine.

The shade I have is Ivory. 

The scent is really good. It made my underarms smelling fresh all day.

Consistency is harder than the usual makeup concealers we use on our faces. 

But it's quite pigmented as you can see on the swatch below:

I got this swatch in one swipe of the product only.

So the moment of truth, the pictures that took me all the courage I have to finally post online... my underarm without and with the product on...

The after picture may look sooo blurred but it's actually not (well, maybe a little bit... it's hard to take a photo of it on your own! Haha). It didn't entirely cover the darkness but it still did some major covering and the chicken skin was lessened too.

When applying it, it feels thick and it still needs to be blended on the skin. I use a sponge for that for a better effect in my opinion. Also, try not to wear clothes that are too fitted on the underarm area because there are times that I encounter the concealer transferring to the cloth. :(

For the lightening effects, I can't comment on that since I don't use it daily—just during special occasions.

So I guess that's all I can say about this product. It's a good short-term solution for my problem but someday I can find/afford one that is long-term. This deoconcealer is good but I wonder if they will have like a spray that dries on skin faster and will not easily transfer on clothing... now that would be so awesome! I also heard that they are making a new formula that is waterproof! Looking forward to that!

Anyway, just comment below your thoughts or suggestions!

Remember to use natural and mild deodorants for everyday use. :P

Cheers,

DAWN
