1. EB ADVANCE BB CREAM

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P195.00

 EVER BILENA WEBSITE

- A whitening, foundation and moisturizing cream all rolled into one! EB Advance BB Cream Whitening provides a flawless coverage while concealing blemishes and dark spots and protecting it from the harmful rays of the sun. With the help of its potent moisturizers such as Shea Butter and Vitamin E, it richly moisturizes your skin to make it soft and smooth.

               They have 2 kinds of BB Cream, anti-wrinkle and whitening. I didn't get this whitening to improve my complexion but because this shade is much appropriate for my skin tone. The anti-wrinkle one is in the default shade of natural, more likely for mestiza's or whom with pink undertone. While the whitening one is in the default shade of oriental, more likely for asian or whom with yellow undertone.

2. EB ADVANCE HD COLORLESS MASCARA

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P100.00

 EVER BILENA WEBSITE

- Is a simple and effective way to shape the eyebrows. It also serves another purpose: making your eyelashes naturally look longer.

               I bought it for school because I wanted to stay my curled lashes while looking natural. Not like other mascaras they offer volume which is good but not for a high school student like me. 
 

3. EB DIP DIPLINER

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P150.00

 EVER BILENA WEBSITE

               I am looking for cheapest liquid or gel eyeliner. But I saw gel types are much expensive. This product is cheap and controllable good for newbie who like to practice, because I noticed there are some liquid eyeliner that is thick and messy not for careless people like me. I have started practicing using the pencil one that every make up guru advised but I think liquid or gel type works better.

4. SUESH SPONGE PUFF

WHERE: Suesh, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P200.00 (P550.00)

SUESH SPONGE PUFF REVIEW

 - The refining texture can perfectly maintain the powder to creates delicate look. The fine quality of puff is pliable to use for long time even after cleansing. 

               I had been eyeing this product since the Beauty Blender started. I really wanted to experience the flawless effect and beginner to pro application this product offers. I bought Models Own blending sponge which I was very disappointed with. [Review and Suesh vs. Models Own Blending Sponge SOON]

 5. MISSHA SILKY SOFT BASE IN "Green"

WHERE: Landmark, Trinoma

HOW MUCH: P499.0
MISSHA PH FACEBOOK PAGE

- This silky soft makeup base applied all over the face, leaves skin lustrous and radiant. It helps to maintain clean and soft makeup all day long. Green is more suitable for girls who have reddish acne marks on their face because it minimizes redness.

               It has 5 variations of colors, green, violet, pink, white and beige. I got mine in green because I have reddish acne marks that I like to minimize to use foundation for evening my skin tone not concealing or using concealers anymore.

6. PLAINS AND PRINTS

WHERE: Plains & Prints, Trinoma
HOW MUCH:P497.50 (995.00)

               They are having sale so I check it out but I didn't see the sale section and how many percent off. I just decided to fit some of their garments because even though their are bit expensive it is worth it for the quality and it their garments fits me perfectly. I see this blouse it has unique style in the sleeves so I have convinced myself buying it even thoughh it is roughly P1,000. I am shocked because it is 50% off cost me only P497.50. Great deal!

REVLON COLORSTAY REVIEW

                My acne started 2 years ago when I was still 2^nd year high school student. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror I feel so disappointed and my self-esteem drops. I had searched how to cure my acne, they say acne can’t be cured but you can prevent it. I tried a lot of medications but nothing works. So I decided if I can’t cure it; I will hide it. I buy new make up almost every week not because I’m addicted to it but I can’t find the best product to suits my condition. I have watched a lot of foundation routine in YouTube but I am afraid wasting money in a product that doesn’t work. Last May 2012 I decided to try the Revlon Colorstay. I bought it at Robinson Galleria for P825.00. It’s expensive but it might be worth it. So I have been using it for 7 months this means I am satisfied and I can review it because now I know the product well.

                Revlon Colorstay promised to last up to 24 hours. Which is a big lie, it can last but the coverage can’t.  The coverage will just last up to 10-12 hours only. Not bad for a drugstore product. What I love about this is it acts as your foundation, concealer and powder. It provides medium to full coverage; you can add layer as long as you get your desired coverage. In 1 layer it can conceal my redness and blemishes but not the bumps of course; in 2 layers it can perfectly conceal my under eye circles. It gives me flawless finish even though I have break outs. “A little goes a long way” The product is thick and pigmented so you better not over use it because it will be your worst nightmare. It will give you cakey look and disgusting face which we don’t like at all. We want to have a perfect flawless face not to add our age. It has no pungent smell not like other foundation. Its light weight you can’t feel you have foundation once it’s completely dry. They also offer a lot of shades and I’m sure you can find yours too.

                I hate the packaging at all; it doesn’t have a pump so you better be patient and careful to avoid wasting the product. The bottle is made of thick glass that adds weight on it. I suggest you buy a plastic bottle with pump; you’re going to spent P50 but you’re going to save a lot. The product also dries quickly so you better blend it fast.

                I also suggest using it with brush; it can blend the product well and fast. As I said the product is thick so you can have hard time blending it with your fingertips.  Also blend the product from inner to outer of your face and one part of your face at a time to equalize it. And never use powder after applying the foundation; powder your face 2-3 hours or when you feel it’s completely dry.

APPLICATION:
                I prime my face first, using my Skindinavia Make Up Setting Spray and my ELF Mineral Infused Primer. I let it sit for a while so my skin will absorb it. Next, I pour the foundation on the back of my hand so I can control the amount before I put it on my face. I use my Sigma F80 brush to blend the product well.  After applying foundation I spray it again with my Skindinavia Make Up Setting Spray set it and makes my foundation last longer. 

PROs: medium-full coverage, lot of shades, works as concealer, no scent
CONs: no pump, dries quickly, needs a brush, not 24 hours coverage
Over-All Rating: 5/5
