GRWM Cosmetics Velvet Setting Powder Review is finally here! Not a fan of powders lately because we are currently enjoying colder weather and so I'm usually wearing dewy finish skin products but I have picked up working out again and so must find a powder that I can wear while exercising while giving me enough coverage and yes, this powder from GRWM Cosmetics does deliver!
EB Advance BB Cream Whitening and Anti Wrinkle are among the first Ever Bilena products that I have tried and reviewed at the PinayBeautyAndStyle channel and for some reason, just forgot to write about this here on the blog. If you are looking for a review video of the EB Advance BB Compact powder, see HERE or if you want a written review of the EB Advance BB Compact powder, see HERE. This blog review is just for the EB Advance BB Cream.
Revlon Colorstay Full Cover Foundation has been a mainstay in my makeup routine for the past few weeks and I thought that since summer is in full blast where I am, then it is time to share my review for this long-wearing full coverage foundation!
I'm not usually a fan of foundation sticks because they don't work on my oily dehydrated skin so it took me a while before I decided to take Revlon Colorstay Lifeproof Foundation Stick for a spin. Major regret because it turned out really good!
Revlon Colorstay Lifeproof Foundation Stick Review - The Foundation for Philippine Weather!
Yep, I've said it. THIS is the foundation for Philippine weather! I usually take a long time to post reviews because I don't like posting reviews about products that I've only tried once or twice so rest assured I've used this for about a week before publishing this review on Revlon ColorStay LifeProof Foundation Stick.
I've always wanted to achieve glass skin but that is quite hard to execute when you have skin texture and blemish that needs covering up. I've tried and tested so many other BB creams (watch my Best BB Cream Battle video) in the past but haven't really found a good BB cream for getting glass skin until I've tried CL4 Max Hyaluronic Stem Cell BB Cream a few weeks ago.

Those who've been around since I began beauty vlogging at YouTube knows that I started with US drugstore makeup and highend -ish or midrange makeup. A lot of my reviews back then are Urban Decay, Maybelline, KatVonD, Coastal Scents, Tarte, and BH Cosmetics. Then I got introduced to ELF and local Philippine drugstore makeup and so that's how I really started beauty blogging for PinayBeautyAndStyle. Being a Maybelline girl (naks!) I still get questions about what is my favorite Maybelline foundation every once in a while. Sometimes I get asked what is the best Maybelline foundation for Philippine weather, especially for those with oily and acne prone skin like mine. One of the recent questions was why I stopped blogging about Maybelline followed by a request to rank Maybelline foundations so here goes!
Best Maybelline Foundation for Philippine Weather for Oily Acne Prone Skin
I've been using the Snody Natural Soft Milk Cushion in shades #21 and #23 for a little over a week now. I seldom use a product right after getting it but I was really excited to give this Snody Cushion a try because of all the Snody Cushion review videos and posts that I've been seeing from the past year or so.

Vice Cosmetics Duo-Finish Foundation was launched 3 days ago and I've already published a video review at the PinayBeautyAndStyle YouTube Channel aside from this written review. Like this review, my video review for the Vice Cosmetics Duo-Finish Foundation includes wear test of both dry application and wet application plus a summary of my experience testing it out. You can view that review video further down this blog post.

I've seen the Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion from someone else but I wasn't convinced to use it until Animetric raved about it on her blog and FB. I did buy it before that but I was supposed to give it to someone as a gift (since its sosy) and ended up keeping it for myself.
It isn't like I don't want to use my first Sulwhasoo cushion. I like Sulwhasoo as a skincare brand but I wasn't so sure about their cosmetics line. Glad that it is available in Althea Korea and got to try it!
Ever Bilena All Day Liquid Foundation Review was the most requested review I got for 2018 but unfortunately it was so difficult to find the product in stores hence I am only reviewing now (I searched multiple stores for weeks!). I hate to disappoint but this product is still not available in a lot of stores and is often sold out because this is hyped as a full coverage foundation. I bought mine at the hidden Watsons in SM North Edsa and the sales associate there told me that the tube I am holding is the last tube of porcelain (my shade). You may have better luck buying online if you can guess your shade. Hopefully Ever Bilena will be better at product stocking and distribution so just order yours online. So, is this really full coverage and does this really stay all day?

can't believe this is only P195
Right off the bat I'm gonna lay it out there that the Ever Bilena All Day Liquid Foundation is not full coverage at one swipe. However, the formula is buildable and layers beautifully so you can achieve full coverage if you know how to work the product. Let's get on with the review!
What is the Ever Bilena All Day Liquid Foundation?
I've been hearing about the Cathy Doll AA Cream for a while now but this product is seriously so difficult to find (for me at least!)! My blog readers and YouTube viewers have been telling me to try the Cathy Doll Automatic Aura Cream since last year but no matter where I looked (andaming 711 and Watson's!!!) either out of stock or they have no idea what it is. I've considered getting the Cathy Doll AA Cushion but wasn't sure if that will be as good as the famed Cathy Doll AA Cream so you can just imagine the level of anticipation and high standards I have when I finally got my hands on this baby!
You can say that I'm a full coverage foundation girl and love finding foundations that offers both coverage and quality. That was why when I was invited to the Makeup World PH Launch and saw that they have a promising foundation in a shade that I can take for a test run, I made sure to take home one!
It's been a while since I last posted but I've been churning videos on the Pinay Beauty and Style Youtube channel like crazy! I mean it, it's like a vlogmas sort of thing for this month only that the videos are all about beauty finds, Philippine online shopping deals, mini and fast reviews, plus a ton of first impressions. I normally won't be giving myself an obvious pat in the back but after my twin lappy disaster (it happened the day after my first blog), I think that being committed to upload videos using just my ipodtouch/phone nearly everyday is quite a feat!
yo, check out my screencap, that BB Cream be looking goooooooooood!
Now, I love Maybelline. I'm a Maybelline baby all the way y'all! It's why I got super excited upon hearing that one of their new BB creams is going to be available in the Philippines. Maybelline is one of the brands that kind of really thinks about the products they launch or make available per country or region. I really like that about them but that also means that some great products may not be available locally. They have stuff that's only available in the US (they haven't launched the matte poreless line in the Philippines as far as I know) and products that are only available in India and Thailand - this Maybelline Super BB Cream!
My first impressions video review above is in tagalog/taglish, but I am planning to do an english version. I also tried looking for a flash photo from the event I attended that day but all I can find are cellphone photos using no flash so not sure about how it looks like under flash photography. I will update this post when I get to that.
Hey, hey, hey everyone! I know that this essence cosmetics product isn't new and that it has been around for years, but I've recently gotten this from the Watson's at SM Beauty section. I thought to myself, what better time to do a first impressions try-on review of a foundation for oily skin than now since it is summer in the Philippines!
