Delightful Illusions

        Happy November! First post of the month! Yay. :) Have you visited your loved ones who already passed away? By the way, how's everybody's Halloween? Did you enjoy? Lucky you. I have actually never attended a Halloween Party in my 21 years of existence here on earth. Haha! I was supposed to but I'm currently busy right now and on the upcoming days. It was our "babang-luksa" on the 3rd. My classes will start this Saturday and I'm so excited to be at school again. :) Anyways, it is the time of  the month (a little bit later) for me to talk about my monthly favorites. I don't have a lot of stuff for October since I have been using the same products. There's no need to be redundant in discussing about products because I'm pretty sure you already get my point, right? This would be my shortest favorites post yet. If you are interested with the items that I'm about to show, then just keep on reading. 

October Favorites

Purederm Make-up Cleasing Wipes with Aloe Extract

       The best makeup wipes I've ever used in my entire life. It removes all of the makeup on my face, even waterproof ones. It leaves my skin feeling clean, like I just washed my face. It's moisturizing and smells good. The best thing about this is that it does not break me out. It contains natural ingredients such as aloe vera, lemon extract, cornflower, Ginkgo biloba, ginseng and Vitamin E. It seems to be safe for acne-prone skin. I recommend this to everybody, regardless of your skin type. I bought this at SM Department Store Beauty Section  for a pack two. Could also be found at Watsons.

Nichido Foundation Stick in Ivory

       This has been doing wonders on my under eye dark circles for the past few months. I use this as a concealer rather than as a foundation. It's creamy, blendable and stays all day long. It has a peachy tone which is great for covering up dark circles. It's the shade "Ivory", which is supposed to be on the yellow category. But, I'm not complaining since the product is great. I thank Ning Hilario, Beauty Editor / JR Art Director of Meg, for featuring a similar product on the July issue. Hers was a concealer stick, I couldn't find one so I opted for the foundation. Check this out if you are looking for a good concealer.

Daiso Diamond Eyes in Purple

       The brow powder is superb match for my Etude House Easy Brow Pencil (Dark Grey), which was featured on my June Favorites. The combination gives my brows a polished grooming; it looks natural on me. As I have mentioned before, I have medium-toned brows. Gray is definitely my go-to color for this part of my face. These two products are the bomb as they do not irritate my skin and stay on place for a long time.

Victoria's Secret Such A Flirt Fragrance Mist


      This is one of my top fragrances from Victoria's Secret. This has fresh and floral notes; it's fruity, sweet, non-citrus and tropical. This contains starfruit and white orchid. The blends are incredible and nothing that is overwhelming. It reminds me of adolescence. I'm obsessed with the scent; feeling like I could use this forever and will not get sick of it. How I wish they would formulate a perfume version of this. I would definitely buy! I recommend getting this. :)

Meg magazine


      Before I end this post, I would just love to inform you that my tweet was published on Meg magazine on the last month's issue. I was surprised and extremely ecstatic.:D  Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Meg! 

       And that's it for my October Favorites. I hope you enjoyed reading this. Comments really enlightens me and are always replied back. More posts coming, Have a nice day. Stay safe! XOXO

       Woah, August flew by so fast and "Ber" months are now approaching. September is here, the time where we start saving for the most awaited holidays. Good morning, people! How are you? I've been busy again these past few days with my driving lessons, feeling a little bit tired. So, today I will be talking about my August favorites. The past month, I have discovered makeup products from brands which I never thought would work. I will not include products which were shown on my July favorites, I still love some of them but I avoid being redundant. Besides, this post will just be lengthy if I include them. 

Beauty Products

         The first product I wanna talk about is this Foundation Brush from Elf. I saw this first from my friend on Facebook and I was curious about the brush. I bought this one and I'm really amazed. It covers well resulting for a flawless face without giving a cakey look, even for powders. You don't need a lot of product to hide your blemishes. The bristles are soft and sturdy. Surprisingly, it does not shed.



          Oh my goodness, this next products is unbelievable. I never liked a cream-based eye shadows before, but this eye base from Etude House is the bomb. This is the Look At My Eyes Pearl Shadow Base from their Look At collection. This does not make my eyes crease even without a primer for hours. It's creamy at first but when applied to the lids, it dries in a powder form. It makes my shadows pop. I wanna buy more of these! 


          Honestly, I have doubts with Ever Bilena products because of their origin. They were made from China and as you know, beauty products from the country are most often toxic because of some harmful ingredients. Plus the quality of their stuff are so-so. Last July, I attempted to do the $20 Makeup Look Challenge but I failed because my bill was almost $30. I opted for EB products together with Careline Cosmetics because they're the cheapest in my local Watsons. These shadows have a sheer to medium opacity. I love this palette because I can create various looks and can tone down or up the colors, depending on my mood. It lasts for hours as long as I use an eye primer. 


          The next two products are lippies, one is the Glam Works Cheek and Lip Tint in Strawberry Red  and the other is the Beauty Rush Colorshine Gloss in Wonder Melon. This combo is superb, it matches at some various eye looks that I wear. The tint does not stay for a long time, maybe for an hour or two. The gloss has specks of  gold glitter but when applied to the lips, they vanish. It tones down the redness of the tint.



This is what combination looks like. It's more subtle when I apply it on my lips.




Hair

         The easiest way to style a short hair? Headbands! This month, I used this braid headband which I bought from a local store. I will feature it soon. I've used this at some occasions and looked so pretty.  I love how realistic the hair look like when I put it on and how it blends on my hair color. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture for the hairstyle. But I have a closeup picture of me wearing the band. I hope you can see it.




Fragrance


          Okay, I cannot say enough with this Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh Toilette (4mL). It's fruity and girly, lighter than the original Daisy. I bought this in a gift set, including another Daisy Toilette and perfumes Dot and Oh, Lola! This is my favorite scent of them all. I'm usually obsessed sweet smelling fragrances but this one captured my nostrils. It's not sweet, but it's charming and isn't overwhelming. Perfect for day dates.

Publications

        I'm an avid fan of Harry Potter ever since. I watched all of the movies but I haven't read any of the books. To widen my understanding about HP, I purchased the first two books. As I read further, my obsession with HP grows. The books were written comprehensively, Ms. Rowling used simple words which an advantage for the series' million readers. These books also helped me in Pottermore.


          I have found the perfect magazine for my age. It's Meg! I've been a reader of an another magazine but it's so too teenager-ish so I checked this magazine. I was shocked when I found out that Bianca Gonzales is the editor-in-chief of this mag. This is packed with load of information about, life, relationships, beauty and more. I love how broad their topics are, and less ads. I'm doing the big switch. :) P.S. Maja Salvador looks so fab in this cover.


      So, those are my favorites for August. Please let me know if you want a detailed review in any of the products mentioned and also your product recommendations. I love interacting with my readers. :D Also, if you are interested in my mini giveaway, you can enter here: Mini Giveaway. Talk to you soon. Have a nice day! XOXO
