Napoleon Perdis Lip Gloss in Pink

Hello dearies!

It's been a cool gloomy day in Manila. I hope you guys are dry and safe inside your homes today and during the weekend. I also hope that your loved ones living in the northern part of the country are all safe. The recent typhoon was stronger than expected. :(

Since our work was suspended today, I do have time to blog. I'll be sharing a quick swatch post of a lipgloss my sister gave me.

Napoleon Perdis Lipgloss in Pink

It's my first product from the brand. I'm not familiar with it to be honest and while I was searching for this product's info, I can't find the exact one. I saw their different lipgloss collections but I can't find this particular one. I can't find the shade "Pink" anywhere.

This is, as you can see on the photo above, is a deluxe-sized product that is not for resale. I bet this is a part of a makeup set my sister bought. I haven't confirmed it yet though. lol

Anyway, I'm loving the tube design. I like the brand's logo design and the simplicity of the tube. I also like that I have this travel-size product that easily fits in my kikay kit. 

The applicator is a brush type that makes applying easy. One dip is enough for one lip. 

I also love the sweet scent of this lipgloss. It's like a mix of cotton candy and bubble gum. Too bad that it doesn't taste like it. Or maybe it's good so that I don't just lick it off. Haha!

The creamy texture is a bit sticky though but I don't mind it.

I like this color. It's not really just pink in my opinion. It's too light and soft... I think it's sort of like carnation pink.

And that's how it looks on my lips.

The translucent finish is just enough to cover my lips with this soft pink color. It looks so fun and simple. An easy pick when I want to go out with a soft, simple, feminine look.

So what do you think of the Napoleon Perdis Lip Gloss in Pink?


Cheers,

NOTD : Painted Lace on Plink

Hey everyone!

I was bored a few days ago and thought of painting my nails. It's been a while since I added other details that's not just dots. I thought of doing a "lace" effect without using real laces... and here's the result:

It's kind of a failure. Every nail looks different than the other. I think the only nice looking one is on the nail on the index finger.

But if you look at it faraway, it still looks decent. It looks so sweet and girly all thanks to the base color, Girl Stuff in Plink.

 These are all the products I used on this NOTD.

And that's it. What do you think of my attempt? Have you tried doing something like this? 

Cheers,

Etude House is Pretty, Squeaky-Clean: Etude House Philippines' Makeup Testers are Now 100% Sterilized

Hey everyone!

Are you an Etude House fan like me? Well, maybe some of you share the same concerns regarding product testers whenever we go shopping. I am often hesitant to use the testers especially if they look like they've been used frequently. I'm guilty of being a bit of a neat-freak (but just a tiny, itsy bit!) and I can't help but think of how many people have used the items, if they had clean hands/face/lips when they touched them, and how long has it been exposed without the cap or the lid. And because of these reasons, I don't get to enjoy shopping and I am not completely sure if what I bought would look good on me because I didn't try it out first.

If these are also your concerns, well, do I have GREAT news for you! Etude House, Philippines now has UV Sterilizers for their makeup testers! Yayyy! What are these UV Sterilizers? These clean the makeup, making it germ-free without damaging the quality! You can learn more about this on their press release below:

Hear ye, hear ye!

Etude House Philippines brings good news to all princesses out there!

This August, Etude House is leading a campaign against dirty makeup testers by installing state-of-the-art UV sterilizers in every boutique all over the country.

"Etude House wants to keep its princesses happy and safe. And what better way for them to try our latest products by keeping it clean and safe for everybody to use," said Ms. Andrea Amado, president of Etude House Philippines.

Etude House is 100% Sterilized

This August, Etude House boutiques are now equipped with pretty in pink UV sterilizers to keep the makeup testers clean every day. Once the makeup tester undergoes UV sterilization, you can count on trying out germ-free makeup to try.

And this time, we count on science to do remove all the icky germs on any tester without damaging the overall makeup quality.

Science explains that the light wavelength the bulb emits contains enough power to destroy organisms such as bacteria, parasitic protozoa, and algae cells. In the process, their DNA is altered, ultimately killing the organisms that may be harmful to human health.

The sterilization process is fast, convenient, and is free from toxic chemicals which can be harmful to the user and the environment.

"We want to invite everyone to come and find their inner princess with us and allow us to make their dreams come true. And it all stars with keeping them beautiful and safe as well," said Ms. Amado.

WHAT IS ETUDE HOUSE PHILIPPINES?

Etude's name was inspired by Polish composer Frederick Chopin's studies of piano. Etude House's mission is is to beautify young women through lovely products and friendly counseling. Etude House Philippines (Rosa Fiore House Corporation) is a cosmetic brand that believes makeup should be playful and not routine. Our products are developed to reflect four basic concepts: high quality, affordability, lovely design, and a diverse color range.

I'm very excited with this new technology. I'm sure that shopping at Etude House will be more enjoyable with clean makeup testers made possible by the new UV Sterilizers! (And aren't those sterilizers soooo cute???) Visit your nearest Etude House branch now and check out the new pink UV sterilizers! :D

Korres Zea Mays Blushes in Pink and Orange Brown

Hello, lovelies!

My sister brought some of her makeup from Australia when she visited almost 2 months ago. Two of those are these blushes from Korres.

Korres Blushes in Zea Mays Blush and Orange Brown

It was my first time to try their products when she showed me these.

She gave me the Pink one since it doesn't suit her skin tone now. She's very tanned now so she's more into peaches.

This one she uses as a bronzer. It's the perfect bronzer for her tanned skin. It gives an extra glow too because of the subtle gold shimmers!

And here are the swatches!

Pretty, huh?

I'm definitely enjoying the Pink Blush. Will use it in one of my FOTD's soon. :)

Have you tried any Korres Blush yet?

Cheers!

Klik Cracked Nail Polishes

Hey girls!

For the past year, the crackling polish has been quite popular. I started buying some to try them out. Some can be quite expensive and I find those who are around Php60 a good buy already.

Some months ago, I saw some bloggers posting about this OMG Cracked polish they bought from Landmark. These polishes apparently are very, VERY affordable and work well. I don't usually go to Trinoma nor in Makati where I get to visit Landmark and if I do, I don't check out the nail care area because I'm trying not to fill-up my already full toolbox of nail polishes.

But finally! I bought some of these polishes. 3 of them. All from Klik!! And indeed, they are super affordable! I bought a bronze, purple and pink colors.

The OMG ones are only Php34.75

while the little one is Php24.75.

I managed to take snap shots of what they look like when applied.

OMG Cracked Nail Polish in Bronze

That's my hand. I used a white base coat.

OMG Cracked Nail Polish in Amethyst

*Liz used this. She used a nude base coat here. :P

and lastly,

Klik Cracked Nail Polish in Pink

I find the red and pink crackling polish a good combination.

So that's all three! In fairness, they really work well compared to some crackling polishes I've tried. And they are soooo affordable!!! Yes, I can't stop saying that! :))

So if you love crackling polishes, or haven't tried yet and want to, go check these from Klik! :)

Cheers!
