Delightful Illusions


        Hi! :) Do you like DI's new look? I was way too excited for the holidays, I already have winter decorations and falling snows (Go that from My Blogger Widgets: Snow Falling Effect). It's my dream to have a White Christmas someday. How about you? Anyways, this fourth day post is about my favorite foundation.

          In my 3 years of being a makeup enthusiast, I still haven't found the foundation that perfectly suits my skin's type & color. It's either that I have picked something pinkish or something that my makes my skin more oily. This product I'm about to feature is currently not on my stash because my friend borrowed it but never gave it back. I'm just fortunate enough to have pictures of it as a remembrance. It sucks, I know. :| Repurchasing this is not yet on my plan because I want to try out other foundations from different brands. As an aspiring makeup artist (haha!), I need to explore various makeup brands. 

Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Natural Beige (Combination/Oily Skin)

         I immediately fell in love with this foundation the first time I have laid it on my bare skin. It's smooth, blendable and lightweight. It has a medium coverage and covers imperfections well. Though I might say that has a vanilla-ish smell, for others they say that it's paint. I used this during my pre-debut photoshoot (2010) and it lasted for the whole day with minimal oiliness. The photographer even remarked that this foundation is great. She noticed the lasting power it possess. The only complaint I have for this is the shade that the saleslady picked out for me. This has pink undertone which didn't match my light yellow skin. It comes off pinkish on my skin. Overall, this is closest to perfection.


Here's a photo using the foundation from the pictorial.
        What are your product recommendations, guys? Can you share those to me? I'm still searching for nice makeup products to use. I hope you enjoy reading this. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO and lots of love! :)

         It's the 3rd post for the challenge. Yay! I surpassed the first 2 posts. That's an achievement for a busy blogger like me. :) My classes will officially start this Saturday, they were postponed last week because of the super typhoon. I'm deeply sorry for my fellow countrymen who were affected by Yolanda. I'm also thanking God for sparing us and for the low number of casualties here in our town. How I wish I have a lot of money to donate, but I'm giving away clothes instead. I'm praying for the guidance and strength for all of us. We can do this. 






           My favorite makeup brush is the eyeshadow brush from San San. I was surprised by the quality this because of their items didn't impress me. I got this 3 years ago and it's still in a good condition. I have washed this for countless and it stayed intact. I believe that this is made from hair as it is super soft, it doesn't feel synthetic. This is really good for blending shadows on the crease and applying highlight colors on the brow bone. I'm pretty sure they discontinued making brushes which is sad. I'm pleading that they would make brushes again with the same quality because I'll definitely buy all of them. 

         Stay tuned guys, I have a shower routine post coming up. My product empties is not yet done. There's a lot of products of to review and my brain is already farting. Haha! Thanks for reading. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO

*No one is paying me to feature their products on this blog. These are my own and honest opinions.

        The second day of the 30 Day Beauty Blog Challenge is to post about you favorite bag that you own.  I would say that I have an average amount of bags, not that many at all. I buy bags once in a while, mostly when I just need a new one. My love for totes is already over. It's time to grow and get something that's appropriate for my age and a little bit mature. 

      This black bag that's made in a faux leather material with gold-chained strap is my favorite so far. It's classy and somehow edgy. It goes well with pretty much anything. It's like a messenger bag but with a lady-like touch. I got this from my mommy's shop; she gets stuff from China and send those in here. We have this water business and a little boutique here in our town. I might be able to post a tour of our shop soon. I'll see about that. 







       The sad thing about cheap bags is that the inner lining is easily torn. I have some sturdy high-end bags but this one's the stylish. I don't care if it's cheap. :)

        I'm sorry if I wasn't able to post yesterday. I was tired from strolling around the mall. I got some stuff for a job interview. :) Have a nice day. Stay safe, everyone. XOXO

        A Blessed Sunday to everyone! I came home an hour ago from church. Today, I will officially start the 30 Day Blog Challenge which was popular back in 2011. I will be doing this finally, hoping I can get through this. The first on the list is to blog about your favorite eyeliner.

San San Gel Eyeliner (Black)
        So far, this eyeliner from San San is my favorite. I don't if I have mentioned this before; I have a hate and relationship with their makeup products. But, this particular product is amazeballs. It's pigmented enough for it to be buildable. It's long lasting; stays all day long and does not smudge. This perfect for the lash line and waterline, though I find it really annoying for tight line as it transfers to the waterline. I use the Revlon Eye Liner Brush for this gel liner. Overall, it's great. :)

Excuse my amateur application. ~,~

It's a little bit dry by now because I had this way back in February.


I hope you try eyeliner, it's affordable. :)
