Note for Dashboard readers: I formatted this for my page, so this can be best viewed on my page :)

Hi my cutieee! 

OMO~! I missed blogging, because of the stressful school stuffs, household chores and a lot of random things coming here and there, make it harder and harder for me to pull out some massive strength and right choice of words for some decent posts.

Well, enough with haggardness spilling through my veins. 

I am going to show you guys some awesome finds! :)

Way back December I kinda bought a lot of things, but then it would be tad boring to post them all so what I thought was to choose what I SHOULD share. *srsly am I making sense?*

Here they are!

LEGGOO?

1. On top : SLEEK MONACO PALETTE from the Mediterranean Collection *Limited edition*

I soooo love this palette! Sooooo HANDY and perfect for making some playful mix of colors or just plainly nude but definitely not boring. 

Well, my review about this amazing palette came up first before this post so if you want to read my review about it just click this link  http://crownlessprinsesa.tumblr.com/post/15289258235/review-sleek-monaco-palette-updated #mce_temp_url#

2. Flat Top Brush from Trinoma Landmark

As much as I want the Sigma F80, I always remind myself that “HEY JANEL! you are still a student! You can have it when you’re earning your own money”.     . the price of that brush is wayyyyy beyond my savings so when I saw this flat top brush from Landmark it instantly reminded me of Sigma F80 cause’ they kinda look the same. I was hesitant at first to buy it as always, but the kabuki brush that I’ve been eyeing for was no where to be found so I chose this, I trusted my instincts and told myself again that “Hey, it’s really soft and dense for 139.75php! so, you might regret it if you don’t buy it today like what happened to the fluffy kabuki brush you’ve been lemming for” 

Thus, I bought this cutie patootie poor man’s version of Sigma F80. 

So, far so good, I kinda experienced minimal shedding and bleeding when I washed it. It picks decent amount of mineral foundation, and I also use this for retouching using my setting powder.

3. OHLALALA Aviator Shades

I bought this when me and my friends went to Greenhills. I was not really planning to buy one but I super loved it when I tried it plus the best part was it’s dirt cheap for only 100php!!  I am such a sucker for affordable stuffs. The tint is black but i don’t know why when I wear it kinda turns to purplish blue. *i am not really good with describing colors, so I inserted a photo of me wearing it*

3. Careline Blush in Peach Glow

One of my on the go blush. It gives me a natural glow which I totally adore!

I also made a review about them, *apparently, I have 4 shades already, addicted much!!* click the link if you want to read the review :) http://crownlessprinsesa.tumblr.com/post/14855623216/carelineblushon

4. Kokuryu Moist Lipstick in Flame

review of this fab lipstick click here: http://crownlessprinsesa.tumblr.com/post/15504834094/review-kokuryu-moist-lipstick-in-flame

This perfectly match my careline blush on in peach glow!! Lately, I’ve been into colors like peach and orange. Well 2012, is all about them because they are the lucky colors so I might stick to them. HAHA And oh before I forget this bold lip color costs for only 143php! 

 

5. Maybelline Colossal Mascara

If there’s one part of my face that I can flaunt confidently that would be my lashes! They are pretty long and I am proud of it. But with mascaras, I can undoubtedly sting everyone’s attention. I am still finishing and loving my hypercurl mascara also from Maybelline but the 30% off Sale was such a tease! Besides, I want to have thicker lashes! And I really do trust Maybelline’s line of mascaras and foundation so I really scored!

the price before was

399php and I got it for only 279php! A little math, I saved 120php = I am such a happy princess!!! 

One time, my gorgeous classmate asked me if I was wearing false eyelashes, I was kinda shocked and flattered for my lashes looked that good pala.

6. Last but definitely not the least is my Maybelline shine free cake powder in Honey

As I always mention I do love foundations from Maybelline for it doesn’t break me out. But my main reason why I bought a new setting powder is this 

I already hit the pan and trying to use it all before I buy a new one but suddenly I accidentally dropped it. so nyay for that. I got the shade called Honey because I carefully swatched both natural and honey, and I instantly knew that honey is the right shade for me.

TIP: To find your right shade of foundation go swatch it on your neck not on the back of your hand. And don’t always rely with the SA for they would always try to deceive you just to buy their product, so never compromise, when the shade is not right then don’t buy it so that there will be no regrets.

hihi I saved again 30php! *pang ice cream na rin yun!!HAHA*

Okay, so it’s almost 3AM, and I really have to sleep! 

Take care, xoxo

Review: Kokuryu Moist Lipstick in Flame :)

Note for Dashboard readers: I formatted this for my page, so this can be best viewed on my page :)

off topic: Hmmmm I have problems with my in, on and at. Can you notice? haha

anywayssss Heyyaaahh! I am back cutiee! Before I will die from busyness *perks of being a graduating student* I decided to post a new review. :)

I am loving my first orange lipstick and it’s from Kokuryu a Japanese brand . I always notice this brand on department stores and I really don’t pay much attention with it. Then, one day I was rummaging google as usual for an affordable bold orange lipstick that can be found on local stores in the Philippines *cause I’m kinda broke and I don’t want to pay shipping fee if I buy one online*. I am searching one for a most anticipated lips for the holidays. One of the blogs that I found was Miss Sabrina’s blog post http://misscorypotts.blogspot.com/2011/07/reviews-orange-lipsticks-from-kokuryu.html

I was amazed with the great pigmentation that was shown on her swatch. And with that, the same week I bought my own Kokuryu Flame. *haha I can be easily influenced with reviews online di ba?*

What does it looks like?

Swatch

Thoughts About it:

- Ohlalala for the price 143.00Php you get what you paid for! Because I find it hard to search for a great orange lipstick with a very cheap price. Actually, the first brands that I found were Mac, Lime Crime, Sleek, NYX and Models Own. But, I can only have them through pre-order from online shops plus I am not willing to pay for the shipping fee because I am so broke that time and I need it before Christmas and with pre-order on BER months that would surely take more than a month to arrive.

- Great pigmentation. *Reddish Orange* but more of an orange to me.

- When applied, it is lighter than the lipstick on tube but stays true with being an orangey lipstick that creates a statement when worn.

- It easily glides on lips but I always prefer applying lip balm first. It is moisturizing but through the course of the day without the help of lip balm my lips can be bit of flaky and dry. But that’s my usual feeling with all lipsticks that is why I always put lip balm before application. So not a problem with me at all.

- Uh oww! This can really stain, I had a hard time removing them with my handkerchief. 

- hmm besides the drying part, I have no other complains.

Pictures when worn:

First time to wear this was last December 23 during an Outreach Program. hehe

So this is it for the mean time.

Take care, xoxo
