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.

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!

Tag Videos: What's in My Purse? and My Makeup Bag

Hey Gorgeous,

      I wanted to share with you a little story about  the videos I filmed a couple of weeks ago. If you notice, I have been uploading some tag videos in Youtube lately. These videos were filmed before I got terribly sick. While I was editing these videos, I noticed that I got bloodshot eyes. My eyes are normally reddish but in those videos they were terribly red. I was not feeling well the day before I filmed them but I didn't realize that I will be terribly sick. On that same day (Monday), I filmed 3 videos just so I want to be able to use my free time in a more productive way. Anyway, I was happy that I was able to film some videos before I got sick. Enough of the talking and I hope you guys enjoy my tag videos and if you have a channel in youtube, maybe you can try them too!


What's in My Purse? - Here's the video I filmed after the "7 Deadly Sins of Beauty" tag video. I was in hurry in this video because my laptop had some problem as some of you know. In this video you can see my Celine bag that I purchased last December and it was included in my Huge December haul video.

This video was filmed in the after while I was on break and it was also the last video I filmed that day. After this video was take, I suddenly felt sick ;(  Anyway, in here I showed the stuff I put in my makeup bag which I rarely use even when I'm out. I usually dont care if my makeup doesn't look good anymore. I'm lazy like that...LOL ^_^

I hope you guys enjoy watching my tag videos and I am gonna work on a tutorial pretty soon. ^_^ 

Thank you so much and Stay Fabulous!

7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag

Greed
What is your most inexpensive item and your most expensive?
- I'm not sure if I have to mention the most expensive on my collection or the most expensive product that I've ever purchased in my entire makeup geeky life. But since I can't decide I'll just show you both of them.
Aido Makeup set- I know it's funny because this is not a high end product but so far, this is the most expensive product I've ever had in my life.
Missha Time Revolution - I got this as a Christmas present from my students last year. This gift set came with 2 big bottles and 2 smaller bottles of toner and moisturizer. I am not so sure why they have smaller bottles of toner and moisturizer but maybe you can carry this when you travel. I've been using this for more than 2 months now and I am half way done with the big toner bottle. I am not a great fan of this because it actually took time before my skin got used to this but my acne scars lightened up ever since I used this product.

Inexpensive
- Now for the most inexpensive one, it's my careline lip gloss and I got it only for Php75.

Wrath
  What beauty product do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product is hardest to get?
 I have an on again off again relationship with my Koji-san kojic acid soap. I've been using this product religiously for over 2 years when suddenly my dermatologist ordered me to stop using it because it made my skin thinner which lead to these tiny little bumps that I have for more than a year now. Anyway I stopped it but not totally because I am still using it to my face but I got really curious about trying other milder products to my face because I had this bad breakout... but it turned out that nothing can really stop it but my Koji-san kojic acid soap! So I we did reunite again and in less than a month of using it, my skin got better.
Anyway for the product that is the hardest to get...it would be my Victoria's Secret Strawberries and Champaigne hand and body cream. I super love this ever since this product laid its creamy texture on my skin. I love the scent and it's just super delicious.

Gluttony
What are your most delicious beauty products?
  I dont know but maybe Victoria's Secret Strawberries and Champaigne hand and body lotion/ perfume.

Sloth
 What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?
   - probably lipstick but only when reapplying them. I always finish off a makeup look with a lipstick/lip gloss. Maybe it's just part of the routine but there are times that I totally forgot about it. I think whenever I go to church, I tend to forget applying lipstick.. there's no special reason for that..I just totally forgot! Anyway, I tend to be lazy in reapplying my lipstick whether I am home or I'm out.

Pride
 What beauty produc gives you the most self-confidence.
-Definitely my brows!!! My brows are barely visible so I always have to do an intensive redefining routine with my brows. Dare me to walk out without any makeup but please let me define my brows first...
One more thing is nail polish..I always love how this gives me confidence. It's like I feel more prettier when I have my nails done.

Lust
What attribute do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
  Confidence, has a sense of humor and someone who's mature and responsible.

Envy
 What items would you like to receive as a gift?
Really? you are asking me that? Uhmm.. well I would love to get........
.......
.....
....
I would love to get a professional makeup train case. The one with vanity mirror and all that goo stuff inside and it should also come with a director chair so I wouldn't have to bend my body too much when I'm soing someone's hair and makeup but seriously, any makeup train case will do!

Product Review: Skin and Hair Products (Dove Hair care, Asian Secrets and Vaseline Healthy White)

Hello Gorgeous! 

    Since I have a lot of time today, I decided to do a product review of the new products I tried for the past couple of weeks. 

Asian Secret Lulur Body Scrub
   I saw this before in a tv ad but I never thought I would be interested in using this. I've been thinking of trying this out long time ago but I just got scared. Until my cousin won some of these in a blog giveaway and then she did a review telling that it's a good product to try. And also my other cousins and aunt are using it as well so I immediately added this product on my shopping list.

So I've been using this product for 2 weeks now and I am lovin' this product. I totally forgot about making DIY body scrub because of this. I noticed that for the past 2 weeks, some of my dark spots lighten up and I always feel clean and fresh after taking a shower. I definitely recommend this product. It's cheap and very effective!

Pros: lighten dark spots in just few weeks (use at least 3x a week)
        the scents stays in you for a long time

Cons: I can't write any bad review on this products yet.

Dove Hair Care - Damage Theraphy

    I've been a dove user for years and I am really in love with the soap. So I got so excited when I saw the shampoo ad on tv. I didn't get it right away of course but I was so happy when I first tried it. My hair was so soft and it's not frizzy and I must say, touching my hair became my obsession (where's John Lloyd when you need him?)
Anyway, I love this product but one thing I noticed is that my hair fall increased..Like I really got scared... But I am not going to discontinue this until I consume everything. I think they have one for hair fall so I'm going to try that out.

Pros: instantly gives you softer hair and the scent lasts all day.
Cons: hair fall increased

Vaseline Healthy White

   
I've been using this product for a long time but I discontinued not because I wasn't satisfied anymore but because I just wanted to try new ones. But now, I am back with my old love.. :) Since, the summer heat is coming I needed extra protection and only Vaseline Healthy white can do that. It has SPF 24 which can protect you from the harsh UV rays. Vaseline healthy white also helps you to have even skin tone.


     So there you have my review for these products. Remember that, the results can vary depending on your skin type. This is just my honest opinion about the products.

Thank you for reading and Stay fabulous!

Makeup Trend 2012: Bright Eyeliner

Hey Pretty Ladies!

      As we all know summer is fast approaching and I am just loving the colors for this season. I am not a summer person but I dont know what got into me but except for the scorching heat, I am so lovin SUMMER season. I am so excited to go shopping for summer outfits which I dont normally do and I can't wait to go to the beach and get myself tanned (again..this is totally not me). So I can say that I am not being me this season. I don't want to take it negatively and I hope you do the same. I am just embracing new stuff lately. I feel like I was so trapped in my own world and that is just gloomy.. And the colors that I used to love reflected on my life. Again, dont get me wrong.. I am happy with my life but it just feels like it's not enough. It's really hard to explain and maybe I am just not good at expressing myself well. Anyway, lately bright colors always catch my attention and I just love how these colors automatically shift my mood. I feel really happy when  I see bright colors so I thought "why not wear them?". I decided to always add bright colors in my outfit whenever I go out but hey, I love wearing bright makeup too so when I saw a picture of a model wearing bright eyeliner from Mally Beauty's FB page, I instantly fell in love with it. I know that bright eyeliner will be the trent for Sping this 2012 and I told myself that I would definitely wear it a lot!!!

      Anyway, enough of the blah-blah-blah.. I think I always do that a lot in my blogs. So...let's jump into the tutorial if you want to learn how I did the look.

Products I used:
Face:
Missha BB cream
Ever BIlena Advance stick foundation
Ever bilena Advance concealer
Maybelline all in one clear smooth dual powder

Eyes:
James Cooper brow pencil
Estee Lauder Pure color palette
Lulu Makeup Beverly hills palette

Cheeks:
Estee Lauder Pure color palette

Lips: Lulu makeup Beverly hills palette

Featured Product

Procedure:

 As always I prep my face with toner, moisturizer and  primer. I also applied BB cream first as  a base. 

Eyes:

   First prime your lids. 

   Next thing that you need to do is take a taupe eye shadow and apply it on your crease. This will give definition to your eyes. 

   Now, for the bright eyeliner, you can use bright liquid liner to make this so much easier. But as for me, I dont have any bright liners so take an eyeliner brush and spray a little bit of water. Dip it into any bright eye shades that you want. The brighter the happier :) Apply it anyway you want.. You can apply a thin one, you can do a cateye..Wing it  out and so on.. In the look that I did in my video, I didn't apply anything on my lower lash line but you can also apply the liner there. You can also extend it a little bit more on the inner corner of your eyes. You can do it anyway you want. 

   Next is tightline your eyes. You have many ways to do this. You can use liquid liner gel liner and so on...But I am just lovin a more natural looking line so take another eyeliner brush, spray a little bit of water and then take any matte black shadow that your have and apply it as close to your lash line as possible. 

   Last thing for your eyes, curl your lashes and apply mascara. 

Now more for the face:

    Just like what I always do, I apply foundation after I did my eye makeup. I also applied concealer under my eyes then set it with a powder. 

note: You can do this step before the eye makeup if you want to. 

For blush I used my all time fave palette but you can use any pink blush that you have. 

For the lips, I applied nude pink lipstick from the beverly hills palette. I also think that a bright pink lips would go so well with the eye makeup. 

And Voila! There you have my version of bright eyeliner. I will post more pictures on my TUMBLR . 

I hope you enjoy this blog tutorial and I will talk to you again on my next blog. 

Thanks for reading and Stay Fabulous

happy me :)

Top 10 Makeup Kit Must Haves

Hello Gorgeous Ladies!

          Today I decided to write about your makeup kit essentials. Sometimes when we go shop for cosmetics we tend to buy the things that we dont really need or maybe we need but not at the moment and yes I am guilty of that. I'm the "OMG-this-is-cute-I-can-use-this-in-the-future" type of shopper before but let me tell you this..You dont need bunch of stuff to look beautiful..Only few essential items will do. So here are the list of the makeup kit must haves and I'll tell you why you need them.

1. Concealer
           - Huge eye baggies due to lack of sleep? Zit that strangely resembles Mt. Vesuvius? You're going to need a good concealer. It is your BFF when you're suffering from huge eye bags or zits. It simple covers up these things and it also helps even out the skin tone. Apply this under your eyes and on some part that needs coverage such as around your nose area, around your mouth and on some acne scars. When you have fresh pimple, it is best to use a pimple concealer or any concealer that has tea tree oil in it. I personally dont like to cover up my pimples if they're not dry yet but good thing there are concealers with tea tree oil. Now it can be your  bestfriend if you have acne prone skin.

Recommended products:
Body Shop Concealer with tea tree oil
Fanny Serrano concealer (the green one)
Careline Pimple concealer with tea tree oil





2. Foundation
           -  We all know that a house or a building needs a good foundation. Well so does our face! A good foundation (liquid or cream) is one of the makeup kit must haves! It can make a difference in your makeup. Although finding the right one for us may be hard, never give up until you find the right one for you. A good alternative for foundation is BB cream. If you dont have a lot to cover up of if you like a light coverage but still flawless looking skin, try this out. Here are some tips on how to find the right foundation for you.
* before buying a foundation, check how it oxidizes on your skin.
* Apply it on your jaw not your hands because you'll have a better look of what the product will turn out after it oxidizes.
* to find the right shade of foundation, match it with your collarbone instead of your neck.
* if you have excessive oily skin, use gel foundation instead.

Recommended Products:
High end: MAC,Makeup Forever, Bobbi Brown, Chanel
Drugstore:
Revlon Colorstay
Ever Bilena Stick foundation
Maybelline Gel Foundation
BB Cream: Missha or Skinfood

3. Dual powder foundation
              - Even with the presence of liquid or cream foundation, a dual powder foundation a.k.a 2 way cake foundation is definitely a must have. You can choose between this or liquid foundation but as for me, a dual powder foundation is very important. First, you can use it if you want a lighter coverage during the day and you can wet your sponge and apply this powder for full coverage.

Recommended Products:
Fanny Serrano 2-way cake foundation
Maybelline Clear Smooth all in one Shine free cake powder







4. Eyebrow Kit
                - There is nothing wrong with filling in your eyebrows if it's needed. You can define your eyebrows depending on the look you're trying to achieve. An eyebrow kit and brow brush are the things that you need. You can also have brow pencil instead of eyebrow kit. As for me, I have both and I use them all at once.

Recommended Products:
ELF eyebrow Kit
Nichido mineral pencil


5. Eyeshadow Palette
                  - I think this is what most girls get excited about when they go shopping for cosmetics.  "We" women just can't get enough of eye shadow palettes. It's probably because we always want our eyes to be the center of attraction. Anyway, if you're on a budget but you still want to look amazing, you could never go wrong with neutral shades. They're perfect for day and night. Take the lighter shades for daytime and take the darker ones to deepen up the eye makeup for that sexy evening makeup. You can go from office chic to glamorous evening gal.

Tip: Find a palette that comes with a blush.

Recommended Products:
Revlon Colorstay 12 hour eye shadow
Nichido Natural Beauty palette (this comes with 2 shades of blush)
Estee Lauder Pure Color (this also comes with 1 pink blush)
NYX Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit (this comes with 2 lip shades)






6. Eyeliner
                  - An eyeliner can make a huge difference in your eyes. Just like the eye brows, you can apply it anyway you want depending on the look you're aiming for. When applying eyeliner, you should always take your time because it's really hard when you mess it up. Plan ahead. Make sure you already know what kind of eye makeup you're trying to achieve so that when you stroke your fabulous liner, it will look really gorgeous!

Recommended Products
NYX Skinny liner
Maybelline gel liner
Nichido Mineral Precise liner



7. Mascara
               - Just like the eyeliner, mascara can make a huge difference with your eye makeup. It will open up your eyes more and make it look brighter and sexier.

tip: always go for a waterproof mascara.

Recommended products:
Maybelline Extreme Stiletto
Majorlica Majorca

8. Blush
             - In case you dont have a palette that comes with a blush or you just prefer to have a separate blush palette, blush on is definitely a makeup kit must have. This will automatically give you a radiant glow.

Recommended Products:
ELF blush
Ever Bilena Mousse blush
San San Mousse blush




9. Lip Products

             - Keeping lip products in your makeup kit is very important no matter what look you're tying to achieve. It is important to have lipstick, lip gloss and lip balm in your kit. In my opinion, keeping a coral peach lipstick is the best choice if you don't want to buy a whole bunch of lipstick shades. Coral peach color can go well in any type of makeup be it daytime of night, neutral everyday makeup or sexy smokey eyes. It's just perfect..Well, this is just my opinion. I know we all have our own preference. Anyway as for lipgloss, it can automatically make your lipds more moisturized just in case you forgot your lip balm. And last but not the list, lip balm. It's important to keep this because it locks in the moisture on lips.

Recommended products:
lip balm: EOS, Etude House, Watsons, Maybelline


10. Oil Blotting Sheet
               - This is probably the product that some girls forget. Oil blotting sheet is as important as the other cosmetic products in our kit. I know a lot of you know what it's for but let me remind you that before doing a touch up of your powder, use the blotting sheet to absorb the oil on your face.

Recommeded Products:
Kleenex oil control sheet
Watsons Oil Control Sheet

    So there you have my top 10 makeup kit must haves. I hope you find this blog helpful. I will talk to you on my next blog. Thanks for reading and Stay Fabulous!

Kim Nana Inspired "No Makeup" Makeup and Usamimi Headband

Hey Everyone,

     I am a big fan of Lee Min Ho and I dont know why it took me a lot of courage to start watching his drama series "City Hunter". Maybe because I know myself. I know that once I start watching, I will not be able to stop. Well, it actually happened. I was able to finish the whole series for 1 week. Anyway, if you're watching this series, you probably know Kim Nana (Park Min Young). In the series, she wore this cute headband and it was only until last weekend when I found out that it's called a wireband. It is actually called Usamimi in Japan. When City Hunter aired in Korea, my student told me that they raved over this headband and I am so glad that I found this in Alabang Town Center. It's a little more expensive than what I would spend for a single headband but I really thought that it's worth it.

    I decided to make another "no makeup" makeup tutorial but this time, I'm gonna use different techniques plus I'm gonna use my "Usamimi" headband so yeah..let's get started!!!

Step by Step

1. Apply BB cream all over your face and apply some on your neck.
2. Apply concealer in a triangular motion and blend well. This will highlight your face even more.
3. Take a light eyeshadow and apply it on your lids.
4. Take the taupe shade and apply it on your crease area to add some definition.
5. This is a new way to tightline your eyes. Take your eyeliner brush then spray some water then take any matte black shadow. Then you can start tightlining your eyes.
6. Curl your lashes and apply mascara.
7. Apply cream blush. Make sure you blend well to achieve a natural looking blush.
8. Set off everything with a powder but dont apply it all over your face to achieve that dewy glow.
9. Apply lipstick  on your lower lips then blend it using your finger and then apply lipbalm.

So here's the final look with my usamimi headband :)

    I hope you enjoy this tutorial and I will talk to you on my next blog :)Thank you so much and
Stay Fabulous!
