Delightful Illusions


          Hi, guys! Today, I will be talking about my May Favorites for the year of 2016. I don't have much products to talk about because I'm currently doing projects and I have been using the same makeup items since January. For this favorites post, I will be showing you the skin care and hair care products that I truly loved and used a lot on the month of May. If you are interested to know what are my recent beauty favorites, just keep on reading.

Nivea Extra White Repair Pore Minimiser Toner 200mL
          This toner is surprisingly gentle and doesn't have strong alcohol scent at all. You know how commercialized brands work, right? They will have all the claims they want on their products; when you buy them, they actually do not work at all. You don't get what you paid for. This toner is different. It's thin, has sweet scent, light on the skin, kind of moisturizing, and removes excessive dirt, makeup, and oil on the face. I have noticed that my skin went from being dull to pinkish-radiant glow. It also made my skin feels soft and looks smooth. I highly recommend this product if you are looking for an effective toner that's worth the price.

Human Nature 100% Natural Night Moisturizer
          I wasn't a fan of face moisturizers in general until I used this product. I have an oily skin and moisturizers aren't my friends. I was curious to try this product since I never used a night moisturizer before. Since this is an organic product, I decided to buy this and see what it will do to my skin. The first thing I noticed when applied this on, it has a medium consistency, leave a semi-sticky feeling on the skin, and smells like actual plants. This thoroughly absorbs into the skin and makes my skin feel so supple and soft when I wake up in the morning. The very best thing about this is that it fights zits and pimples. I had a zit one time and I applied a generous amount of this on the affected area. Do you what I saw when I woke up the following day? The zit has flatten a little bit and it wasn't painful anymore when I touched this. I continued using this night after night and my zit was gone. It was gone without transforming into a pimple. This product is a life saver! I'm note sure if this could cure pimples or acnes, but if you are interested in using this product, you should try. This is one of the best skin care products I have ever used.

Victoria's Secret Bergamot Smoothing Scrub Wash
          The best body scrub I have ever used! It smells so good. The smell is the main reason why I love this product. The smell lingers on the bathroom for hours and stays on the skin as well. It has that citrus scent that is calming yet addictive. The texture is gelee-like; thin, non-greasy and not sticky at all. I love that this has moiturizing property but isn't heavy on the skin. If you are looking for a light, good-smelling, and gentle body scrub, try this product. You'll love this.


Daily Defense Argan Oil Conditioner
          This conditioner is way better than the conditioners I have tried my whole life. It make my hair incredibly soft and smooth. It has light weight formula and doesn't leave a greasy residue on my scalp after washing my hair. It smells sweet, like a cupcake, and lasts long through out the day. It relaxes my hair making it controllable. I have been using this since last week of April but it has still a lot of product inside the bottle. If you are a cruelty-free shopper, get this because it's cruelty-free and affordable. If you find this, just try this and I'm pretty confident that you'll like this product too.


Revlon CustomEyes Naturally Glamorous Shadow/Liner
          This eyeshadow palette is included one of the projects I'm currently doing this year. This is one of those makeup items I have used and forgotten about for years and years. Recently, I have been experimenting on different eyeshadow combinations and I have found a nice way on how to use the liner shade on this palette. As you can see above, the liner isn't quite pigmented and won't work when worn alone. I tried using this shade as a shadow base and layer with a light brown eyeshadow. The result gives kind of a brown taupe shadow which is kind of my thing as I really love dark eyeshadow looks for everyday. I've worn this combination a lot on the month of May and I liked it. If you are interested on this palette, you can still get  this on the Revlon's website and Amazon. 



          These are my favorite products from the month of May. I genuinely love all the products I have mentioned and would be happy if you try them as well. I have linked all the products so you would know where to find them. 

          What are your favorites products recently? Please let us know so we could try them too. I hope you enjoyed this post. Comments are always welcomed, appreciated and replied. Thank you so much for stopping by. I'll talk to you soon. I hope you have a great day. Stay safe.

Hi, guys! Welcome to my March 2016 Favorites post! :) I missed February, and so I thought I would share my favorites this month because they are actually the same from the previous month. I got to discover some skin care and makeup products last last month and I loved most of them. There are some things mentioned in this post like application technique and product combinations. If you are interested to know them, just keep on reading. :)

Maybelline Color Show Lipstick in True Toffee
          It's one those lipstick that you will love for the rest of your life after you have applied this on your lips. I'm not even exaggerating guys. The formulation is creamy, has smooth application on the lips, and moisturizing all through out the wear. The products claims to be long lasting and rich in pigmentation, which I think is true based on my experience. This True Toffee shade comes off as peachy nude which has a cool to neutral tone. I'm a light-skinned with warm undertone person; I didn't think cool-toned nude lip colors will not look good on me. If you are looking for an affordable, great quality, long lasting lipsticks, check Maybelline's Color Show makeup line.   

AVON Simply Pretty Lip Defining Pencil in Nude

          Another AVON product again. Yay! Honestly, there's not a single makeup product from AVON that I didn't like. The products that I got from this brand are all great. I'm not kidding, guys. Anyways, I loved this lip liner the past month (and still it is this month) because it's a easy use; it's a no-brainer product, glides smoothly on the lips, and easy to clean the excess. This products looks pretty dark on the liner, but goes on light on the lips. It comes off as a warm light brown shade which actually looks good together with the lipstick I mentioned above. I highly highly recommend this lip liner if you are looking for a budget friendly but good one.


          These are the swatches of the products I just talked about. As you can see, the other one is cool-toned and the the other is warm-toned. I have worn this combination during a celebration event we had last week; I have loved it because the products stayed long on my lips for hours. I have only retouched once. Anyways, please excuse my face here, my falsies was still wet and my eyes were feeling heavy. Haha!



Human Nature Purifying Facial Scrub and Human Nature Balancing Face Toner


          "A good skin is a happy skin. A happy skin is a healthy skin. The more organic the ingredients are, the better." That was my quote, which I said during my mini makeup lesson that I have given to my office mates last Monday.  Recently, I was starting to ditch my skin care products because I wanted to use organic products for my skin care routine. Human Nature is a local brand that has emerged years and years ago on the Philippine Market, aiming to bring an array of 100% organic skin care products without the high price.

         I have recently ran out of a facial scrub, so I browsed a grocery for a new scrub to try on. I saw the Human Nature Purifying Facial Scrub which has real strawberry seeds. Strawberry seeds used as a face scrub?? Wow, that's sounds so cool! I love how this scrub makes my skin feel cleansed and purified without feeling the usual tightness I feel with other face scrubs. It has that clean sweet scent which isn't overwhelming at all. It's not really for fighting for oiliness and pimples, but it is a gentle scrub for daily use. If you are looking for an affordable organic face scrub, check this product out.

         I also bought this Human Nature Balancing Face Toner because I remember loving this way back on 2012; It was year I first tried this product. I loved it, and I love it still. It feels light and gentle, somewhat moisturizing, and smells so nice.This toner is never tightening nor drying. I love it a lot. Enough said! :)

Daiso Hyaluronic Acid Mixing Face Mist
          An acid mixing mist for your face?? Is that safe, Sylden?? Haha! Worry not, my friends. This is a safe mist that could be used daily. I have searched the internet about this Hyaluronic Acid and I found out that this acid is used on products that helps heal wounds, dry pimples, and other related stuff. This product is not bad at all! I bought this because I was intrigued to see how this works that first I time I saw it on the store. This is nice for moisturizing the face before applying makeup, setting the face, mixing it with flaky eye shadows, and a lot. I love how this fixes my face when a product decides to cake on my skin suddenly. :) This is a life saver! Haha! I might forget to mention that this has alcohol and isn't organic at all. I don't if this is even safe for sensitive skin. If you have no any problematic skin conditions, this might work for you as well.


          The next thing I'm gonna talk about is actually a technique I learned from Michelle of ReadySetGlamour. A couple of months ago, she uploaded a video about Do's and Don't s of makeup. One of the techniques that really caught my attention was the one in which she demonstrated to set the eye primer/base with a powder. I tried the technique the next morning and I was amazed. The powder absorbed the moisture on my lids, making the eye shadows to blend better and lasts all day long. I also noticed a minimal creasing towards the end of the day. If you haven't done this technique, please try it. You will love it and see the difference. I use the Esssence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base on my lids and set it with the Clean and Clear Oil-Control Pressed Powder. This combination works for me and I love it. :)

Victoria's Secret Fearless Fragrance Mist
          Oh My God. This perfume describes me -- FEARLESS.  It's sweet, sour, fruity and alluring at the same time.  Victoria's Secret described this as: "Attitude is everything in this modern take on a seductive floral scent, here in a sheer fragrance mist." The scent is floral with blackcurrant, purple diamond iris and orris notes. The scent kind of reminds me of the ZARA Oriental Eau de Toilette, which has girly seduction in it. They're not on the same family of notes, but they are on the same family of floral fragrances. They have both seductive scent; the VS is hardcore and the ZARA is toned down. Anyways,I love this Fearless Fragrance for everyday use. It's something that screams "me". I'm a fearless person and I know it. Haha!

          Those are my favorites for the month of February and March. What are your current favorites? Please share those with us by leaving a comment down below. I love reading and replying to comments. :) If you have any requests, please let me know. Thank you so much for reading my favorites. I hope you enjoyed this post. I will talk to you soon. Have a great week, everyone. Stay safe. XOXO
