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!

You can buy this directly from the official store of GRWM Cosmetics HERE and if you are lucky, it will be discounted too!

GRWM Cosmetics Life Proof Fixing Spray review is here! This review was a few weeks in the making because I wanted to be sure that I've used it for quite a while before passing a verdict as I didn't want to publish just an unboxing or first impressions review sort of thing so here goes!

GRWM Cosmetics Life Proof Fixing Spray Review

What is the GRWM Cosmetics Life Proof Fixing Spray?

According to the brand, this is a Fixing Spray that can help your makeup stay in place. Personally, I have tried using this before makeup and after makeup to lock in my brows (if I need extra help) or to nake sure my face makeup is plakado if I will be out all day. This is possible because the GRWM Life-Proof Fixing Spray contains ingredients that can help hydrate and moisturize the skin while helping powder and cream products adhere better to facial skin. 

Where to buy: You can buy in Shopee HERE if you want to avail of brand promos. The brand doesn't have a physical store as of now but maybe soon!

GRWM Cosmetics Radiance Tint Volume 3 is one of my current favorite makeup products and so I am reviewing it today! This is probably the 3rd or 4th article on the same product because GRWM Cosmetics released new shades. For the record, this is volume 3. Volumes 1 and 2 are tackled below :)

The first time that I reviewed the EB Advance LTD Liquid Lipstick from Ever Bilena was in 2017 (REVIEW HERE) and I still have my repurchases of the old packaging. This year, Ever Bilena and EB Advance have been revamping their packaging and one of the lippies they've modernized the look for is the EB Advance LTD Liquid Lipstick.

Careline Lash Boost Mascara Review, Price, Try On #carelinelashboost #carelinegang #careline #betterthanbasic

Careline has been one of my favorite Philippine drugstore makeup brands since they've had a glow-up and created makeup that's not just great for teens and tweens, but works great no matter what age you might be. They are a cruelty-free makeup brand that happens to be paraben-free too which made me like them more. One of their recent launches is the Careline Lash Boost Mascara and below are my thoughts about it over 2 weeks of daily use.

GRWM Cosmetics Milk Tint Volume 2 Swatches have been the trending inquiry in my inbox since I've uploaded an unboxing video.

So without further ado, below is a photo preview of the review. For now, please enjoy the swatches.

GRWM Cosmetics Milk Tint Volume 2 Swatches and Preview

Careline lip tints has been a staple in so many kikay kits, including my own so when I found out that they have a nenw release that's not only the same good 'ol paraben-free and cruelty-free concoction but is also MASK PROOF, I went ahead and gave it a go. For the past week, I tried each of the 6 shades so I can give some commentary in case one of them is a flop but thankfully, they are all the same quality. Without further ado, here are my thoughts on the Careline Stain With Me LipTint.

GRWM Cosmetics Radiance Tint Volume 2 NEW Color Correctors from Their Radiance Tint Collection Peach, Milk, and Honey!

GRWM Cosmetics Radiance Tint Volume 2 is here!!!! So, this post was a full month in the making. I was trying to think of a way to share color correctors in a more relatable way than just posting a press release or infomercial type of feature because I really want to give justice to these products. For the record, the GRWM Cosmetics Radiance Tint Color Correctors are perhaps the best makeup release that I've seen this year (locally) and this is for many reasons. One, it used to be unheard of to have color correctors for local makeup brands; two, ang ganda! And three, well, I have  lot more to say to let's get this started as I share with you my thoughts on the GRWM Cosmetics Color Correctors in Peach, Milk, and Honey.

GRWM Cosmetics NEW Color Correctors from Their Radiance Tint Collection

What are the GRWM Cosmetics Color Correctors in Peach, Milk, and Honey?

These are the new shades from the collection of GRWM Cosmetics Radiance Tints that I reviewed HERE. The first 12 shades released were more of a concealer and foundation hybrid. They're technically liquid cream tints that can be used as concealers and foundations but these 3 new shades are unique enough that they can be used for color-correcting, highlighting, and contouring.

It's been such a long time since I had time to blog about makeup and that is because I am so busy with my advance studies as well as lecture load for teaching. I hardly have time for makeup these days and really prefer cosmetics that are long-wearing, fuss-free, and don't smudge under masks so I am so glad to report my findings after trying out the GRWM Cosmetics Aqua Tint for a full month!

GRWM Cosmetics Aqua Tint Review Swatches Price and more!

GRWM Cosmetics Aqua Tint dropped a few weeks ago and got me through a month-long ordeal of endless zoom meetings, deadlines, and more. These aqua tints are watery and gel-like in texture, are easy to apply and blend, and can be used for the eyes, cheek, and lips. The product doesn't transfer, bleed, or smudge after fully dry so this was my BFF for the days that I am chugging on with just 2 hours of sleep.

REVIEW Spotlight Cosmetics Lipstick Swatches - Superstar Creamy Lips is Great for Dry Lips!

Spotlight Cosmetics launched about a year ago but I've only started using their Superstar Creamy Lips at the onset of summer in the Philippines because my lips are extra dry. I guess I have been so used with using tints and long-lasting liquid lipsticks that using bullet lipsticks just took the back burner for me.  Anywhoo, I finally gave them a try and ended up liking them that I have used them a few times a week for the last 3 months. Here is my review for the Spotlight Cosmetics SuperStar Creamy Lips!

REVIEW Careline Play to Slay Palette Swatches Price Sale! Versatile Cruelty-Free Makeup for Teens!

Careline by Ever Bilena is known as a Filipino Makeup Brand that caters to teens but honestly, I think that their recent releases in the past 5 years are good enough to propel Careline as a brand for all makeup enthusiasts. I've reviewed so many Careline products from the brand for the past 3 years including the bestsellers Careline Multi-Sticks, Careline Graph-Ink Liner, and Careline Glow Getter Palette. Today, I'm reviewing and sharing swatches of the Careline Play to Slay Palette. 

By the way, here are more Careline Makeup Reviews, and yes, Careline is Cruelty-Free!

REVIEW EB Advance Power Paint Swatches! Better Than or Dupe for Glossier Cloud Paint?

EB Advance Power Paint faced a bit of controversy last year in the local makeup scene because some people thought that this product is a shameless copycat of the Glossier Cloud Paint. This is why I took down my first review because I wanted to check if there is any truth to the wild accusations. Anyway, after looking around online, I found out that there are a bunch of similar-looking and similar-marketed products all over the world and none were met with the same controversy with the cancel culture crowd. Also found out that Glossier wasn't even the first the come out with the same concept anyway so meh, it really was just a small-scale social media frenzy for nothing except typical beauty world drama more so that Maybelline Cheek Heat was released a few weeks ago and it didn't get the same treatment from the Philippine cancel culture crowd for some reason. Smaller local brands released products with similar-looking packaging and concept too so yeah, the controversy was just weird. At any rate, besides the packaging, the EB Advance Power Paint is a different product in my experience and I've been using it for about half a year now. Read up on my thoughts below!

One of the most common questions that subscribers and followers ask me about on Instagram and Youtube is asking about affordable cruelty-free makeup in the Philippines and what recommendations I have for paraben-free makeup that they can use for summer. I would get a few DMs and emails about this per week all the time so I just figured to write a blog post so I can simply send a link for my Filipino makeup reviews. 

A lot of my followers and subscribers and followers don't even know that I blog, same as blog readers don't often care for Instagram content or Youtube content. Anyway here are my recommendations for Affordable Filipino Paraben-Free and Cruelty-Free Makeup for Summer in the Philippines so everyone is happy!

REVIEW Careline Multi Sticks New Colors Swatches + UPDATE

My swatches for the Careline Multi Sticks was one of my most popular blogs in the past few months so when Careline went on sale, I made it my mission to purchase more so I can post an update. I will add links to my previous posts covering Careline Multi Sticks.

Careline Multi Sticks New Colors Swatches Review UPDATE

I am not sure how many Careline Multi Sticks are new right now because honestly it isn't like they send or post press releases when they have new products for existing lines but from what I can infer, it seems that they added a new highlighting stick and several blush sticks. That would make a total of 10 from the first 6 launched in 2018. I kinda wish that they added a bronzing stick plus a lighter matte highlighter because the one they have (brighten) is too dark on me plus the contouring stick is too cool-toned for bronzing.

I think the new releases are Berry, Coral, Flush, and Beam....so 3 blushers and 1 highlighter.

By the way, I believe they also released foundation sticks but I haven't seen those yet in stores. There are other releases too but those are under Ever Bilena and Careline, not EB Advance.

REVIEW Spotlight Cosmetics Scene Stealer Gel Eyeshadow Swatches, Price, and Where to Buy

Gel eyeshadow products are not new in the Philippine market but the ones that were available before were from international makeup brands. Don't quote me on this but I think Spotlight Cosmetics is the first Filipino Makeup Brand that released a gel eyeshadow that truly works for Philippine weather. I've been using this since March 2021 and haven't experienced the problems I've had with similar products in the past. If you have oily eyelids that tend to give you raccoon eyes, then keep on reading!

REVIEW Ellana Satin Stain Shine Liquid Lip and Cheek Stain Swatches + Price

Ellana Satin Stain Shine Liquid Lip and Cheek Tint wasn't something that I was expecting to like. I'm someone who prefers watery tints over creamy ones and I thought that a creamy lip and cheek stain would look less vibrant on the skin like how Glossier Cloud Paint performs which I am not a fan of but boy, was I wrong!

REVIEW WetNWild ColorIcon Not a Basic Peach Palette Swatches

Not a Basic Peach Palette from Wet N Wild's Color Icon collection is what brought me out of my makeup rut. Since the quarantine started, I find myself not wearing makeup as much as I would like to. I've been mostly working from home even prior to Covid-19 pandemic and I guess I just liked it having to live up to expectations of a full face of makeup everyday. With this said, this was only great for the first few months but later on, I find that my productivity suffered. There is something to putting yourself together in the morning that kick-starts your brain for real but the problem was I got so used to not wearing makeup that most eyeshadow palettes overwhelmed me. I lived in BB cream, mascara, and tint for months until I rediscovered the WetNWild ColorIcon Not a Basic Peach Palette when I was downsizing my things. I began swatching and before I knew it, was wearing eyeshadow again!
