No Makeup Makeup

Hey Everyone,

      When I posted my picture with my no makeup makeup, people asked me how I did it. Well, honestly, there are several ways to achieve this look. If you only search in youtube, you'll see tons of videos on how to get the "no makeup" makeup/fresh makeup/natural makeup or however you want to call it. This type of look will help you have a radiant looking skin without putting a lot on your face. This will just enhance your features and give you that effortless beauty. You will see a lot but you may probably think twice in doing this look because of the products they are using. Well, I will make it easier for you pretty girls out there. I will show you different techniques on how to achieve this look using local products such as Nichido, Ever Bilena and so on. I will also make a tutorial based on your skin type.

      So this first tutorial is for girls who doesn't need a lot of coverage on their skin. Meaning to say your skin has very few blemishes or none at all. Honestly when I did this video, my skin was not at its best. Right now, I am suffering from acne scars but when I did this video, my skin was a little worse that it really is. Anyway, just dont mind my skin and focus on the tutorial.


 So here are the products I used:

Face:
Missha Real Complete BB Cream
Ever Bilena Advance Foundation stick
San San Age defense concealer
Ever Bilena Advance 3D Compact

Eyes:
Nichido Palette
NYX nude on nude
Nichido eye pencil in medium brown
Nichido Lengthening Mascara
Brows: Nichido Mineral eye pencil in Chestnut

Blush: Estee Lauder Pure Color palette ( Radiant kiss)

Lips: Watsons Naturals lip balm and Missha lipstick



Detailed tutorial:

1. Clean your face, use toner and moisturize. It is very important that you do this first step before your start applying makeup. 
2. Put an ample amount of BB cream onto your fingertips and then warm it up. Gently apply the product  all over your face. You can use a foundation brush if you want or if you're doing it to somebody. In my case, I prefer to use my fingers to blend the product more evenly.
3. Apply foundation that is lighter than your skin tone under your eyes and apply it in triangular motion to brighten up the face even more and for more coverage if you need it.
4. This is optional but you can apply concealer under your eyes,some dark spots and acne scars. In my case, it didn't totally concealed the acne because it's just came out. (Blame it on PMS :(.....)
5. Redefine your brows. In this video, since I forgot that I am doing a natural look, I forgot to use darker shade of brow pencil and just follow the natural shape of my brows. 
6. Apply primer but this is optional since we aare aiming for a natural look. If you dont have a primer, you can apply foundation all over your lids and top it off with concealer.
7. Apply a matte brown eye shadow on your eye socket to give your eyes more definition. Then apply a satin eye shadow of  your choice. Blend it well. Applying satin E/S will give you a natural looking glow. 
8. Tight line using a medium brown eye pencil. Apply it as close to the lash line as possible. Doing this method will make your eyelashes appera thicker without lining it too much plus the brown liner looks more natural than black liner.
9. I used a different technique in applying mascara here. I noticed that doing this will make your lashes look more natural than when you use the mascara's regular wand. Anyway, apply some mascara onto the brow and lash comb and then after you curl your lashes, gently comb your top and bottom lashes
10. Apply powder. Here I am using my new Ever Bilena Advance 3D compact. I will do a review soon on Ever Bilena products.
11. Using the darkest shade in the 3d compact, apply it on the hollows of your cheeks for contour. 
12. Apply pink blush on your cheek bones. Here I am using a satin pink from my Estee  Lauder palette but you can use any pink blush you have.
13. Using the lightest color on the 3d compact, apply it on top of your cheek bones then sweep it under your eyes for highlight. You can also apply some on your nose bridge and across your forehead.
14. Dab a little bit of liptick on your lips then blend it with your finger or lip brush.
Last but not the least, apply lipbalm for extra moisture. 


  So there you have it. No makeup makeup... Enhanced but not overdone. 


I hope you enjoy reading my blog and please check out my YT channel and subscribe for more tutorials. This is all for now and I'll talk to you on my next blog. Stay Fabulous.

DIY Body/Face/Lip Scrub

Hey Everyone,

     Tonight as I was doing my other blog,I thought of writing a tutorial on how to do a body scrub. This is all naturals and you can definitely find the ingredients in your own kitchen. Yup! You heard it right...In your kitchen or as I call it my extended vanity corner. LOL :) I get some of my beauty remedies from my kitchen. One of the products I swear by is honey so I am going to tell you how to make a scrub that will work best on your face body and including your lips.

   So here's what you'll need: honey, sugar, olive oil (optional)

      Before we get started, let me just give you an introduction about the health benefits of these ingredients.

Honey: It's definitely one of the best product you can use on your skin. Honey is 100% natural so it is safe to use on your skin. It has a lot of good benefits not only for the skin but for your health in general. It has the ability to absorb and retain moisture on your skin. This will help you to have a silky smooth skin.Believe me, I saw the big difference on my skin ever since I started using honey as one of my beauty remedies.






Sugar: It can exfoliate your skin and deep cleanse it. It can also hydrate your skin without clogging your pores. This can help your skin to glow as well. There are so many benefits that you can get for using sugar as your over all body scrub.







 These two ingredients alone can do wonders on your skin but if your skin is super dry, you may want to add a little bit of olive oil for extra moisture. If you dont have olive oil, you can try to use baby oil or even the home made coconut oil. The one that we get when we make "latik" out of coconut milk. It is also good but the smell for me is not very pleasing. Anyway, I cannot stress it more PLEASE DONT USE COOKING OIL. :) LOL

 Anyway, let's get started. Here's what you need to do:

- You'll need at least 3 tablespoon of white sugar if you're planning to use this as an over all scrub.
-Add 2 tablespoon of honey and then mix well and there you have your all naturals body scrub.

You may want to lessen the ingredients when you're not planning to use it all over your body. I like to chill this scrub first before I use it because it's more refreshing. And just like what I said earlier, you can add olive oil if you want. Try to exfoliate your skin at least 2x and you'll see the result in just a week. :)

  This is all for now and I do hope you like my very first DIY beauty remedy tutorial. Watch out for more tutorials soon. Thank you for reading and have a good one :) Stay Fabulous

First Product Review

Hi Everyone,

       I was filming a "no make up" make up tutorial when my laptop shut down halfway through the video. While doing my make up I already thought of saving a part of it but then I still didn't do so yeah because of that everything's gone. And it's not like I can erase what I did on my face and do it all over again for the sake of the tutorial. I mean I can do that only if I have enough time. I only had 30 minutes that day so I just continued doing my make up and get ready for my classes. Anyway, since I had a lot of time later in that evening, I decided to finally film my very first product review.

       First 2 thing that I am going to review are brush sets from Barberries Pop. I was trying to convince myself to get these brush sets for over 2 months. I was skeptical because I wasn't sure if they're gonna be good enough. So last month I finally decided to get them. I was super excited that I tried to pay for them before the bank closes. I got them after Christmas. So here's what I have to say:

Cerro Qreen Brush Set: This beautiful brush set comes with 7 different make up brushes and a very pretty silk pouch. It is made in China but I am satisfied with this set. It's perfect for women on the go because it's not too bulky to put in your purse. The only problem I have with this is the foundation brush. It's not too soft and I dont think it's good enough to use when you're applying your foundation. Right now, I am only using it for blush or if I have to brush off excess powder on my face.

Ecotools Bamboo brush set: This brush set is pretty cute. It comes with 4 quality brushes that I really love. And just like the Cerro Qreen, this set is easy to travel with. I dont have any major problems with this because all of them are very soft and useful although you have to be patient with the powder brush. It became softer  after 2nd wash.

Maybelline Extreme Stiletto: My current fave mascara. I fell in love with this product the first time it laid its mascara wand on my lashes. It's super amazing and this is just in my opinion. I dont know with you guys but right now, I dont have any problems with this. I got this at SM Department store when Maybelline went on sale last month. I wish I got more of this product before.

Nichido Minerals Precise Liner:  It's the first liquid liner that I ever loved. It has a felt tip which made it a lot easier for me to line my eyes. I've had so many trouble using a liquid liner before but not it's a lot easier. The only downside with this product is that it gets watery after a while. I dont know maybe I am not shaking it or something but it has this kind of problem. I still recommend it though.

Watsons Naturals lip balm in Jasmine and Green tea.:  I was really skeptical when I got this product before. I dont know if it's gonna work for me. I dont normally use lip balm. It's just recently when I started using it because I got fed up of chapped lips. It took me a while to get used to applying lip balm on. Anyway, I got this Naturals lip balm at Watsons Gateway for only Php69. I love the product because it has the gritty sensation when you're applying it which helps you exfoliate your lips without putting a lot effort to it. The scent gives you a relaxing feeling and it will definitely moisturize your lips. Overall, I love this product and I will definitely use this everyday.



   So that wraps up my product review. Those are my honest opinion about the products and this blog is not sponsored. Thank you for patiently reading my blog and I hope you all have a fabulous day :)

Bee's Mini Haul / Movie Review



Hey there Fabulous Ladies,

        Today I went to see a movie with a friend. So before I tell what I got today in the mall. Lemme tell you my thoughts about the movie "Manila Kingpin". I am not a movie critic and this is the first time that I am actually going to write something about a movie."Manila Kingpin" was a great movie. The story was great and this is actually the first time that I appreciated a Filipino action movie. The only problem I saw in this movie was the actor who portrayed as "Asiong Salonga". I dont know with you guys but for me, he didn't give justice to the character. My friends and I agreed on this part. He said that Asiong died when he was 23 and may I quote he said it's a "Trivia". Anyway, Asiong was in early 20's when he died while Jorge Estregan Jr., didn't look that young. Maybe when he did this movie when he was younger, he probably gave it more justice. There were a lot of scenes that looked really weird to me. Like the kissing scenes between Asiong and 3 of her women (all of them are young acrtresses). Those scene gave us the "eeewwww" factor. I know I am mean but that's just how I felt about the movie. The Kalesa chase was something I've never seen before but.....seriously??? A Kalesa chase where all the people riding were dead but the horse was left unharmed??? Anyway, I still enjoyed the movie and I really recommend you guys to see it. I wish they will make more movies like that in the future but please..... choose better actors...I know they are veteran actors but please..choose someone that will be please in  the viewers' eyes.LOL..^__^   and please dont make it BLACK and WHITE.

    Alright, enough of the movie review. I went to SM Department store with my friend so I thought I'd pick up some of the things I need for the beauty academy. So here they are..

       First thing I got was this Fanny Serrano concealer stick in chestnut. I asked the saleslady if it's a foundation stick and she said yes. I know it's my bad that I didn't read the label first when she gave me the box. Anyway, I will still keep this and add to my collection. One thing I can say about this product is it smells like men's cologne. Price: Php350


      Next, this E.L.F. product automatically caught my eyes because of the packaging. It really looks nice. I didn't know that it's a face primer. I haven't really tried to use any face primers before but I will do a review about this product once I used it. Price:Php 399


     Last but not the least is this e.l.f. studio blush brush. This is probably my first blush brush ever. I use different brushes when putting on my blush. Being in the academy, makes me want to have the proper brushes for applying make up. It's gonna cost me a lot but I am sure it pays off in the end. Price:Php 249


  So that's it for now pretty ladies. I do hope you like reading my blog. I wish I can write more but I have to get back to work. I'll talk to you guys next time and Stay Fabulous!

Bee's Everyday Make up

Hello Gorgeous Ladies,

     I decided to film a tutorial after a stressful day. What I'm gonna show is the make up look I had when I attended my first day at the beauty academy. It's a very simple look. Kinda like smokey eye but it's just appropriate for daytime. I had a hard time showing the palette I used for this look so I decided to take a picture of my Estee Lauder Pure Color.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Palette
Colors I used; White, peach and brown for eyes
Blush: radiant kiss
   Products I used:
Face: Revlon Color Stay Foundation, Ever Bilena Concealer
Eyes and Cheek: Estee Lauder
Lips: Maybelline Color Sensation in Angel Rose and Fashion 21 lip cream




  I was really tired when I did this so forgive my bloodshot eyes. I was about to wash my face when I decided to just go ahead and film the tutorial.





   I know it didn't look good enough but I am planning to recreate this look using same technique but different colors.

   This is all for now and I do hope you like reading my blog. Please check out my youutube channel and subscribe. Thank you for reading and have a fabulous day ahead.
