This newest product from Tony Moly is one of the most interesting things I currently own.

Tony Moly Bunny Sleek Mist comes in a cutesy bottle. It simply works as a facial mist. With its fine soft moisture particles, it promises to offer a simultaneously exhilirating and skin-bolstering effect.

To use: Spritz onto skin 20-30cm away from the face with eyes closed. Leave for 30 seconds or gently pat the skin [until dry] to fully absorb the product.

Cute Packaging, Refreshing Scent

Who wouldn’t fall in love with its cutesy bunny bottle which reminds me of Matryoshka dolls (only it doesn’t have a smaller counterpart on the inside)? It’s so adorable that even little girls would love to own it as well.

I also like the scent. I daresay it smells better than my BB Magic Mist. It has this subtle floral scent which’s just as refreshing as a baby cologne or powder.

Thick Mist Particles

As said earlier, it works like your regular facial mist/spray. It sets makeup giving it a dewy finish, and refreshes the skin.

On the other hand, I just wish the mist would be finer. Perhaps, it’s because of the spray nozzle, which delivers a thicker mist than my BB Magic Mist or that of Evian. Hence, it’s important to follow the instruction regarding the distance, lest you’d end up pretty much drenched. And yes, it’ll take a toll of your time waiting for it to dry completely.

Price:  Php 448

Available at leading SM stores nationwide.

I had a fun afternoon a week ago binging on sweet saccharine delights at Sweet Bella Café in Burgos Circle, which is just a few blocks away from my office. Not that I was merely exercising my right to be a sweet tooth, I was also indulging myself into trying this newest lip colour range from Covergirl.

I’ve known Covergirl cosmetics for a long time, thanks to my folks abroad who would send me some makeup every now and then. One of my first foundations was from this brand (from the US), along with my first blusher from Shu Uemura (came straight from Japan) and a Clean and Clear powder compact (which’s locally available ). All of these I owned waay back in high school.

Back to the event, Covergirl introduced their latest line of lip products.

[Lip Perfection] is a family of bullets and liners that promise to deliver a new kind of lip transformation.

Covergirl Philippines’ Assistant Brand Manager Jinkie Simbulan told us the story behind the Lip Perfection line.

Covergirl Lip Perfection Bullet Lipstick is enriched with Silk Therapy Complex, a unique formula that sustains moisture levels on the lips. It claims to improve lip condition over time. Use the lipstick in conjunction with Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipliner for more defined lips. It has 4 exciting hues to choose from.

As for the bullet lipstick, it’s available in 22 lovely shades.

One of the exciting parts of the event was emulating Drew Barrymore’s “Lip Perfection” look using Covergirl cosmetics. Drew Barrymore is current image model of Covergirl, particularly for this range.

Here’s my teammate Liz, channeling a classy, sophisticated vibe with her crimson red lips.

Martha won the challenge with her sultry look ala Drew’s.

Then, Jinkee gave us another challenge. She handed over 3 unbranded lipsticks. Two of which were from popular luxe brands, whilst one was a Covergirl Lip Perfection Bullet Lipstick.

We got to swipe one of each in a piece of cloth to test which of these three is Covergirl Lip Perfection Bullet Lipstick.

Now, you tell me which is which?

I’d love to reveal it right now, but decided to save it until I make a more detailed review very soon! x

Of course, the day wouldn’t be complete without these panache finger foods.

…and yes, we’re in Sweet Bella. So, we nibbled our way to these yummy macaroons!

Best of all, I’ve got to take home these goodies!

Too bad, the foundation shades don’t match my yellowish undertones.:-( But, I’ve still kept the bottles in case I might need them in the future.

It’s a shame that someone like me, who happens to own a beauty blog, does not have an extensive set of makeup brushes. I must confess that though I’m fond of collecting makeup myself, I don’t really wear them on a daily basis. Blame it on one of my peculiar traits.

I buy makeup brushes separately, particularly those that I need. I own some from Youngblood, MAC, The Body Shop and Charm to name a few. To think, I have more brushes that I use for oil, watercolour and pastel (with the help of turpentine) painting than makeup brushes.

Since I’ve been going out and about recently, I am now more accustomed into wearing full makeup. Hence, now is the high time to reward myself with a brush set that I can use on a more delicate canvass — my countenance.

That’s where Charm Travel Pro Makeup Brush Set comes into play. I’m more than happy (and lucky) to own this beautiful brush set as my first ever pro set!

The brushes are enclosed in a faux croc skin patent clutch that looks so chic in black complemented by the hot pink zip.

I was so giddy and excited that I took a snapshot instantly as soon as I opened it.

Ta-dah!

‘Twas love at first sight! I’m so in-love with the colours. The gunmetal black handles and polished hot pink ferules look so chica. Truly, this is one of Charm’s finest creations.

This 14-piece brush set is made from animal hair and synthetic hair fibres. I’d love to spare some time reviewing this brush set in full detail. In the meantime, here’s a quick preview: (more…)
