Skin White and Nuffnang Bring You.. Snow White and the Huntsman


Negra..Ulikba..Kirara....

Those were the names people used to call me when I was young especially when I was 12 because we just moved to Manila from Cavite. I loved the outdoors so I love playing outside with my friends, swim in the river and go mountain climbing. Because of that, my skin became so dark. When we moved to Manila, I became so conscious about my skin color. I didn't go out for a long time and I hated staying under the sun for more than an hour.
It was difficult for me to get back to my real skin tone because I was too young to use some whitening products. I didn't do anything but my skin got a little lighter...

I moved again and this time we were in Laguna. I was really scared to become dark so when I turned 16, I feel like it's time for me to use skin whitening products but the problem was, they were so expensive. And so Skin White came. I saw the ad on tv and I wanted to try it right away but I was thinking if I can afford it or not. I head to the nearest Mercury Drug which was the nearest drugstore in my town. I was surprised to see that it was cheap so I bought it immediately. I used it together with another whitening soap and I was surprised with the result. My skin got a lot lighter after a month.  I love how people noticed how my skin improved over the months and how they can't help but notice :) I continued to use it and will probably use it forever along with my other whitening products.

Skin White now has improved a lot. It has Synchrowhite Actions that works in four ways all the time.
First, of course it Whitens the skin's surface. Next, it REDUCES formation of new dark pigments at its source. Third, it NOURISHES skin with Vitamins. And last but not the least, it PROTECTS skin from toxins and UV Rays

4 ways that will certainly give you that beautiful glow that no one can resist!

Just Got Lucky Haul

Hey Pretty Bellas!!!

      I am super super excited to share this with you guys because this is the first time ever that I am going to do a giveaway haul. I have been joining contest giveaways of the youtube gurus and bloggers since I got into makeup.

 I swear I was really disappointed whenever I wasn't picked up as the lucky winner. But I realize, there's really nothing to lose so I kept on joining until one Sunday night, a very unexpected thing happened.
I saw one of my friend's post to Makeup Hub by Naturale Collezione. It's a picture of her and her mom and then I found out that Makeup Hub by NC was holding a Mother's Day giveaway. The rule was to post a picture of you and your mom telling why you love her. I didn't have any pictures of my mom in my computer so I decided to post a picture of me and grandma. I wasn't sure if it's valid but I joined anyway. Luckily, I got picked! I won a gift certificate from a derm clinic (I wasn't sure of the name). At first I thought I won a gift certificate from Makeup Hub by NC but my friend who is also a blogger told me that it was a GC from a derm clinic. I haven't received that yet but I'll probably do another blog for that to keep you updated.


So next giveaway was help by Skye Avenue, one of the online stores in the Philippines. Miss Tan, help a birthday giveaway which I wasn't able to join because I just liked her page and couple of hourse later, she already announced the winner. Anyway, good thing she held another one which was very easy. She posted a status saying that if the status received 30 likes, it will be a giveaway. So because of my habit of liking other people's posts, I liked it and voila! I got picked again! I was super excited and I can't believe my eyes. It's funny that my other friend who is also a famous blogger tagged me. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have seen it earlier. I seriously didn't have any idea that I won. Anyway, my prize came on Wednesday and here they are:



I got 1 lip liner and 1 lipstick ^_^

Lipstick Shade: Heather

Lip Liner: Pale pink
swatch of pale pink on hand
on lips
Swatch of Heather on hand

on lips: Heather



The next giveaway I won was held by a friend whom I met in Judy of Itsjudytime Meet and Greet. She told me that she and Makeup Hub by NC are holding giveaway so I joined and just like every other contests I joined, I didn't really expect anything from it anymore. But when my package from Skye Avenue came, I got too excited to post it in Facebook so I logged on and then I saw J-Anne's message telling me that I won! So I got super excited again. The package came today and here it is: 

 Here's the package that came today ^_^ 


Miners Cosmetics Moisture Effect in Mouline Rouge




Miners Cosmetics Matte Factor in Hot Pink which I instantly fall in love with. 

Yeah! Hot Pink baby! 


This is the Moulin Rouge which supposed to be red but the camera washed out the color so it looked more like orange


This is the Matter Factor in Hot Pink
                                                                                                                   


So there you have my Just Got Lucky Haul. I hope I didn't bore you and I hope you got an idea of what these lippies shades look like :) Thank you for reading! Stay Fabulous!

Miss Bee
                                                                                                




Ferrero Rocher Instant Lipstick Holder

Hey Pretty Bellas

    Miss Bee here and I am back for another blog. I am not going to do a tutorial or product review about Ferrero Rocher. I'm sure you all know what Ferrero Rocher is so I'm gonna skip an intro for that.


I am sure most of you ladies got a box of this chocolate and I am pretty sure most of you didn't throw that little container away because it has a sentimental value. It's either you kept the love letters your bf gave you in it or just simply keep it somewhere because you think that you can use it for something.. Well Bellas, it's time for you to take it out from your storage box and put it on your vanity corner!

I had this idea while eating the chocolate. I was eating them and I suddenly look at my poor lipstick holder. And then it hit me. Why not make this Ferrero Rocher container as my lippies holder? I tried to put one lipstick on and VOILA! Pefect! I can't wait till I finish all the chocolates up.

So here are the photos of my new lipstick holder. It's nothing fancy...I didn't even put any design on it but you know you can always do that if you want to. It's just that, I like it better that way. Simple but very useful.







I used the lid for my potted individual eye shadows and brow powder. 



As you can see, that little something you value that's been sitting around in your storage box can be very useful. You can store anything you want it this clear container depending on your needs. Just be creative! 


I hope you find this blog helpful. Thank you for reading and I'll talk to you on my next blog! Stay Fabulous!


xoxo,
Miss Bee

Krave Minerale is L-O-V-E Episode 3 - Conceal and Correct

Hey Lovelies!

     Welcome to the 3rd episode of Krave Minerale is L-O-V-E. Today I'm gonna be talking about the famous conceal and correct. I was intrigued by this product when I saw Say, the famous Pinay YT guru did a tutorial using Krave products and she mentioned that the KMC Conceal and Correct does not only cover up blemishes, it will also even out the skin tone (I hope I remember that one right..). Anyway, it took me a long time before I finally decide to purchase the product together with the other Krave Minerale products.


Let's Start!


Net Weight: 2.5grms
Price: Php285

 So here's the Conceal and Correct from Krave. It's in a stick form. It actually looks like a lip balm.


So here's how it looks like inside. It only comes with 1 shade which suits medium and fair complexion.
It has a drier texture when applied but it helps the product stick on to your face longer.



Application and Result



I applied Conceal and Correct only on one side. Do you see the difference?
I know..it's scary :))) 


I already applied it on the other side as well as around my nose and lips. As you can see, the redness that you saw on the first picture disappeared and you can see how Conceal and Correct made my eyes appear brighter. 

Here's the picture of me after I applied dual foundation. Can you see how flawless it made me look. 
Just Conceal and Correct plus dual foundation and voila! Bye bye uneven skin tone and dark under eyes :) 



So here's the final look. I did a very simple everyday makeup because as I always say here in my blog, I work from home so I dont need to put on a lot. 

My Final Say

   Although I love how KMC's Correct and Conceal instantly gives me brighter eyes, I didn't like how it smears around my nose and lips are. It stay on for long hours but I think you have to use it sparingly around the nose and lips especially when you know that you'll be out all day and will be sweating a lot. This is just my honest review about the product and maybe it will work differently on you as we all have different skin type. Anyway, overall I love the product and I will continue to use it as a part of my daily makeup routine.

I hope you find this helpful. Thank you for reading and I'll talk to you on my next blog.

Miss Bee

A Mother's Zalora Wishlist-



 Hey Lovelies,

     When I first saw the Zalora Wishlist giveaway in Nuffnang, I instantly created an account and browsed the site. Zalora is the new online store where you can find different things. From clothings to home needs. They offer free shipping which is fabulous plus..plus plus and 30-day return! How cool is that??

 There were a lot of things that I like and it was so hard to come up with a wishlist since I am not really a fan of shopping shoes and clothes online. So I told myself that I will choose the things that I really need. After hundreds of clicks, I finally came up with a wishlist and here it is...
\
As you can see I chose mostly shoes.. That's because I need all of them I swear! I'm not gonna tell you the reason WHY.. LOL... I chose the pair of jeans because I rarely wear them so I only have very few. 

Anyway, I was already writing my blog entry for this contest when I noticed something....

wait......
Zalora has kids' section???


Then it suddenly struck me.. It's my baby boy's 9th birthday today and I know that it would be great if I give him some of the stuff he needs. He's considered as preteen now. I can't believe how time flies. It seems only yesterday when I choose to let him breathe and see the world and now he's already 9 and a 4th grade student. I feel old whenever I think about but hey! I love being a mom and I would never regret having him in my life. 

Anyway, most of the few things I picked uo for him to include in the wishlist are shoes. I dont know but I feel like some of the clothes are really ordinary in the site and I want to dress my little man like a fashionista would.  

So here's my Top 5 picks!!

So here are the closer look to the top 5 items..As you can see they're not mix and matchy type. 



My first pick was this jacket and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it in the site. I bet my little man would look fabulous on this.



An athletic  shoes is a must  have!!


I really find this shoes cute and I bet my little man can pull this off :)



Ok..sometimes, One of my problems with my son is wearing shoes.. He would always complain about shoes  whenever we're going out. He always asks me what to wear but this sandals would be perfect for him because it goes well with a lot of his casual outfits



Ok this one..I dont have any reasons of choosing this as part of the list. But I think the pants would look good on him


So there you have my wishlist. Whether or not I win this contest or he receives these items, I think my only wish for him is to have a good life. A good health and happy childhood are the best things I can always give my child. 

I hope you dont find this boring. Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you later! Stay Fab!

Krave Minerale is L-O-V-E Series Episode 1 - Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator


Hey Lovely Gals!!

     I am so back for another product review. I know I haven't written anything here in my blog and I haven't done updates on my YT channel and also TUMBLR. I am only able to update from time to time in Facebook posting OOTD/FOTD and lately I posted my new album Nail of the Week. Anyway, I decided to write my product review separately for Krave Minerale Cosmecuticals Products because I really believed that it is much better to focus on one brand at a time when doing a product review. Originally, I was suppose to write just one blog. I drafted everything and wrote some questions and as I started writing I feel like I need more than one blog in tackling each and every products I bought from KMC. So I decided to make a series of product reviews focusing on KMC products.

What is Krave Minerale Cosmeceticals?
 Krave is the very first mineral cosmetic company here in the Philippines. It's know for mineral makeup and organic skin care products. To know more about KMC visit their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/kravemineralecosmeceuticals

Series 1 - Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator

Price : Php 285 (3grms)
1. Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator
     What it does?
             Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator helps control oil and it can also help your makeup last longer. Since it's translucent powder, it wont interfere with other makeup. Even if it controls oil, it wont make your face look dry instead it will make your skin look hydrated and healthy because it has  Sodium Hyaluronate. The other key ingredient which is the pearl powder has anti-wrinkling and sun protection benefit.

     What I like about this product?
               I have a normal skin type but in summer, my skin gets excessively oily. So when I found out about this product I thought I should really get one soon. Also I've been doing a lot of makeup for the past couple of months and  I noticed that some of them really suffer from their makeup smearing too fast. Anyway, so I bought the product and tried it on me one day. I love this product since day 1 of using it. It didn't make my skin look oily and even when I touch it, there's very little oil in it and that's after long hours at work. I took a picture which I posted on my FB page but I wasn't able to post the picture I took few hours after I applying KM Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator.







                   So here's my first ever picture with KM products on me. Other than the Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator, I also used Correct and Conceal for the first time. The picture was taken an hour after I applied the product. The temperature was 34 degrees and look, my skin still looks pretty and healthy. I love how it gives automativ highlight on my face.
So here's the photo I took 8 hours after I took the first one. And I know...you may be thinking "why the heck does her skin look so dark in here?" Aha..I get ya...I know what you're thinking..haha!  It's because my skin was really dark.. The photos were take a few days after I got the product which happened to be the day I arrived home from Puerto Galera. The first picture was taken during daytime and I always use the sun as a natural source of light whenever I'm filming or taking pictures. Anyway, so as you can see even when my skin was darker, I dared to take a picture and I actually post it here which I would never do if I wasn't using KM Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator. 
   




Here are two more photos I took using KM Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator.
This photo was taken few hours after I applied  KM Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator. It was around 1:30pm

And this one was 4 hours after I took the other one.... even after a long day, KM Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator managed to control the oil on my face. 
My Final say.....

  In my opinion, using KMC's Oil Eliminator alone can help you to become oil free up to 4 hours if you're like me working at home without air conditioner but if you're working in an air conditioned room/office then it will probably last you longer. You may want to touch up if you're outside though. 



 So there you have my review on KMC Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator. I hope you find this helpful and I will talk to you on my next series. Stay Fabulous!

Krave Minerale is L-O-V-E Series -Episode 2 - Mist Spritz Makeup Setting MIst



Hey Lovely Bellas!!!

          Here I am again for my 2nd episode of Krave Minerale is L-O-V-E and today I will do a review for Mist Spritz Setting Spray. So as I already made my introduction about KMC on the previous episode, this blog will be shorter (I hope so...)

Let's start our discussion!!

What is KMC Mist Spritz?
           Mist Spritz is a setting spray applied after you're done with your regular makeup routine. It sets your makeup to help it last all throughout the day. This product is also best for re-hydrating your skin especially with our country's scorching heat. It's so refreshing plus your skin can get a lot of benefits from it. To know more about this product, check out this link : https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.269581446423550.57069.247988138582881&type=3

The story....... (Once upon a time....)
             I have been looking for a cheap setting spray for a long time now. It's hard to find since all of the setting spray are expensive plus it's hard to take a risk if they will not work well for me. So while I was browsing KMC's products (and here I am with the "Once upon a time" again..lol). ANyway, while I was browsing, I came across their makeup setting spray and when I checked the price, I was like "OMG!! I should get this like right now!!!". I've been browsing KMC's product and I was wondering why I didn't notice the Mist Spritz before. I always wanted to buy conceal and correct and the oil eliminator but I was just lazy to send a message,list down my order,fill out the order form and all that stuff you need to do when you buy things online. Anyway, so I sent KMC a message and they informed me that all the products are given to their distributors. They give me a list of people I can contact for my order and so procrastination kicked in! I was so excited but then got lazy to text my orders..LOL..I did that the next day. As soon as Ms Hazel Tan replied to my message, I immediately asked someone to deposit my payment so I can get my items ASAP. It came after few days because I ordered it on Friday and then I got it on MOnday. I think the shipping will be faster if it didn't fall on the weekend.

What I can say about this product:


             When I first tried the product, I wasn't able to take a picture of it because I was so busy. Anyway, I went out for few hours and when I looked at myself in the mirror after long hours, I was surprised because my makeup still looked good. My makeup didn't smear even when I was sweating as if I was in a sauna due to the scorching heat. I also got the chance to use this product when I did my sister's makeup on her civil wedding. She was all scared because her face is oilier than mind and she's worried that her makeup will just melt away because of the temperature. Since I was confident that Mist Spritz will help her save the day, I told her "Trust me and shut up!" so she just patiently let me do my thing. So before we went to the city hall she told me 'Ate oo nga..di nga siya natunaw" and I was like "told yah!". It was just one hour and she was already satisfied.. Anyway, hours past and her makeup was still ok although it smeared a little bit during the day, she was still satisfied that her face didn't look oily. I also partnered Mist Spritz with Oil Eliminator. 

            Mist Spritz costs Php200 for a 30ml bottle. Even though I know that it is expensive for a small bottle, I think it's also a good find because you dont have to take a risk in buying expensive ones with big bottles and end up not liking it. Luckily, I fell in love with this product and it's the product that I'm going to have a love affair with for a long time. Mist Spritz is also convenient to carry around in your makeup bag because of the small bottle.


So here are some photos I took using Mist Spritz


                                             This photo was taken after I did my hair.
This one was in the evening almost 7pm before going to church. 


Now this one was taken almost 10pm. After church I got stuck in the traffic jam so I walked for more than 30minutes and it was raining! But look! My makeup stayed on even after sweating all day. 
My Final Say.......
        Mist Spritz is a holy grail. It can help your makeup stay on even after a long day. And take note, I am not working in an air conditioned room but my makeup managed to stay on with the help of this product. 
           So there you have my episode 2 of Krave Minerale is L-O-V-E and I hope you find this helpful. Till next time and I will talk to you on my next blog. Thank you for reading and Stay Fabulous!
