Hello girlies!  Finally I found a make up primer that suits my skin.  It's the Happy Skin Oil Absorbing Matte Primer .  It's a lightweight gel matte primer, long lasting (almost no retouch), has an all-day mattifying effect so goodbye - oily skin .  According to Happy Skin website: "The Alkaline pH absorbs the excess oils for a fresh balanced complexion.  Mineral Silcate and Caffeine work hand in hand to tighten pores and smoothen skin.  Hyaluronic acid floods skin with plumping and refreshing hydration, while Squalane imparts soothing moisture." Price: P899.00 For best results:   In order not to make your skin too dry because the of it's mattifying effect, I moisturize my face before applying the primer.  Then finish it off with Happy Skin Fresh Morning Dew Micro fine Glow setting spray. Verdict : ♥♥♥♥.5 of ♥♥♥♥♥ Will I recommend this?  Of course I will.. Aside from making your skin smooth and shine-free after it's use.  It's p...

After trying Blk's Airy Matte serum foundation, I decided to try their Daydream foundation.  I bought the same shade in Butterscotch.  It is also available in five (5) shades: Oat, Vanilla, Butterscotch, Chestnut and Latte - like the Airy Matte Foundation. --- click here to see my review on the  Airy Matte Serum Foundation It's very similar with the Airy Matte foundation:  Lightweight, fragrance free, blendable and buildable.  This is not a full coverage foundation but it perfectly covers blemishes, hides pores and camouflages redness giving you a super natural no-make up look.  Since it's not full coverage, you need to use a concealer to hide those dark spots.   It's not a natural matte finish: find it kind of dewy (giving the skin a little glow, adding some sheen).  Honestly I am not really a fan of dewy make up finish.  Having a combination skin, I like the airy matte foundation more. Lastly, it's also long lasting and transfer proof....

Here is another make up review.  This time I will be reviewing a local brand make up owned by Anne Curtis the Blk Life-Proof Airy Matte  Serum foundation .  A little backstory:  I use the L'Oreal Infallible fresh wear Make up foundation, but I think they have already discontinued it because there are limited shades available online (and the shade that I am using was already out of stock for months already).    Ever since L'Oreal cosmetics pulled out their make up from physical stores like Watsons and SM stores and shifted to online selling platforms they have not replenished their stocks.   Sad, but I need to find a good alternative.  Yes, I use make up foundation with SPF because I am in front of the computer for more than 8 hours.  And using it really protects my skin from the skin damaging light from the computer screen. There are two (2) kinds serum foundations of Blk: Daydream and Airy-Matte.  It's really hard to choose, but th...

source: Sephora.com For those who is not familiar with this make up line, it's owned by Patrick Starrr.  Patrick Starrr is a Fil-American make up artist who recently launched his own make up brand.  Honestly, I have learned about this brand through the vlog of Small Laude, when she had a collaboration with Patrick Starrr.   I admit (super curious) really wanted to try it.  I have tried American make up brands like Clinique and Colour pop and they did not disappoint.  So why not try One/Size to support a fellow Filipino.   One/Size is available in Sephora Philippines online:  One/Size on Sephora PH .  Since I have a hard time sourcing Clinique Super powder double in Matte Honey, I decided to try it's powder foundation.  What's good about the Sephora website they can help you find your shade.  To find your matching shade: just choose the brand, product and shade.  In  my case, I chose my favorite Clinique shade - and th...
