I know na the tired eye is a popular new makeup look, though personally I still prefer to make my eyes appear more defined, open and awake. And syempre, mascara is one of the most impactful makeup products that can give high-impact results in just seconds. With that said, tingnan natin if this mascara from Koii Cosmetics can take my eyes from tired-looking to wide open. It's their Koii Cosmetics Lash Doubling 4D Mascara which claims to add volume, length and definition for a fuller and more dramatic look. PROS ●Comes in a black, sleek rectangular tube packaging ●Comes in a nice, flexible, and easy to use rubber wand ●Has a true black formula ●Has buildable formula ●Easily elongates the lashes ●Doesn't smudge ●Waterproof ●Long-wearing CONS ●Takes a little more time to dry completely ●Doesn't give insane volume ●Can be challenging to remove the formula ●A little pricey I've already used this mascara a couple of times and this is one of the deepest blacks I've tried. I love how it gives my lashes that feathery, natural, separated look. It stays on for a long time and won't smudge. On the other hand, it also makes it hard to remove at the end of the day—especially if I put on lots of layers. I have to say, it doesn't give instense volume but no doubt it creates a gorgeous, lengthened lashes which I definitely like. You can get this Koii Cosmetics Lash Doubling 4D Mascara for P520 on their Shopee store here: https://shopee.ph/koiicosmetics.

I've been a specs wearer for a long time. But when I started applying makeup, there were some unavoidable problems I faced lalo na when I had to wear my glasses all day long. From foundation on my frames, flaking mascara on my lenses, plus I neglected on doing my eye makeup as I felt na hindi rin naman mapapansin. Syempre as time passes naman may mga adjustments akong ginawa and techniques na natutunan in order for me to complete my makeup with glasses on. From not wearing too much foundation para wala masyadong dumikit sa glasses. I apply heavy mascara na volumizing or curling which instantly helps open the eyes. Naging go-to look ko na rin ang paglalagay ng neutral tones and shimmers to brighten my eyes. Lastly, I like to create bold and thick line with a liner so that my eyes can truly be seen through my glasses. Here are some products I've been loving to create a simple and everyday makeup look when wearing my glasses: QUICKFX Tinted Moisturizer, P129 BYS Liquid Concealer Tube in Medium, P199 Nichido Final Powder in Creamy Glow, P203 Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer, P2,100 Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Creamy Liquid Blush in Cheeky Orange, P149 LA Girl Beauty Brick Nudes, P669 Barenbliss Better Tha Magic Eyeliner, P299 Koii Cosmetics Lash Doubling 4D Mascara, P520 Focallure Eyebrow Powder Kit, P140 Koii Cosmetics Matte Lip Tint in Dusk Rose, P410 Share nyo na rin some tips you have to make your makeup work best with your glasses.
As a makeup junkie, I have an ever-growing list of favorite makeup products especially with how the internet is constantly influencing us to try new products. Kaya nga for my current everyday makeup, it consists of products na matagal ko ng ginagamit, kumbaga mga all-time favorites ko na. There are a few rin that I've recently discovered but I'm eager to buy again once I run out. This simple, everyday look you can also deploy when you want to look put-together and polished but not necessarily over-the-top. Ang importante, you have a few key makeup essentials on hand. That includes a weightless, high-coverage, and long-wear complexion product such as the Barenbliss True Beauty Inside Cushion. A bronzer like Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer which adds dimension to the face, and an intensely pigmented and lightweight lippie kagaya ng Maybelline Sensational Liquid Matte. Kung mapapansin nyo, some of these are admittedly on the pricier side, but they last me a very long time. Meron rin naman from my favorite affordable makeup brands like Maybelline and Barenbliss. Barenbliss True Beauty Inside Cushion, P899 MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, P2,000 KVD Beauty Lock-It Translucent Setting Powder, P2,250 Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer, P2,100 Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Blush in Cheeky Orange, P149 IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil, P1,730 Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar, P1,200 Barenbliss Better Than Magic Eyeliner, P299 Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara, P229 Maybelline Sensational Liquid Matte in Best Babe, P229 Share nyo rin mga ka-grocery moms if you've tried any of these makeup favorites.
There was a time na I just did not understand the appeal of a cream blush. I remember whenever I receive cream blushes for PR or as gifts, it's either pinamimigay ko lang sila or natatambak lang sila sa blush drawer ko. I was always a powder blush girl. But something happened when I discovered a blush with creamy formula that blends like a dream, glides over the skin, and gives a nice plumped, dewy sheen. Syempre, powder blushes still have their place in my routine. But for a while now, I've been reaching for creamy formulas more often. Why you ask? ●Come in different finishes like matte, satin, or slightly shimmery ●Come in different formulas like sheer, long-wear, and cream-to-powder ●More hydrating ●Super blendable and buildable ●Create dewy, natural finish to the skin ●Can be applied with fingers ●Ideal for on-the-go glam The most recent cream blushes I've been using and loving are these Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Blush. A creamy liquid blush housed in a small plastic bottle with doe-foot applicator and has three shades - Sweet Pink (Soft Pink), Cheeky Orange (Soft Coral), and Flirty Peach (Warm Peach). Each shade is multi-use as you can use it as an eyeshadow too. I recommend these cream blushes as they're incredibly lightweight, feel great on the skin, and just glide effortlessly onto the skin. They do feel slightly wet when they go on, but they don't dry sticky. They just leave a nice dewy glow. Although one layer is enough to achieve a good color payoff, they may not last as long as other formulas I've tried. Still, the reasonable price point and versatile, natural-looking finish make these cream blushes excellent for no-makeup makeup looks. Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Blush is available in Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, Watsons, and Robinsons. Priced at P134.

Kailangan lang maglagay ng sunscreen kung lalabas ng bahay at kung may araw pa, at hindi na kailangang maglagay ng sunscreen araw araw. These are probably some of our misconceptions about sunscreen. Kasi aaminin ko, sunscreen was never part of my everyday beauty routine. I would only apply it when I know that I'll be outside for extended periods of time. Pero ngayon aware na ako that sunscreen go beyond protecting my skin from the sun and the many reasons why it’s a good idea to actually wear it every day - maaraw man, maulap or kahit maulan. ●Shields the skin from harmful UV rays ●Protects the skin from sunburn ●Reduces the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, sunspots, and hyperpigmentation ●Reduces the risk of skin cancer Although the effects of sunscreen may not be noticeable at first, but it will pay off long-term. I also understand na ang iba siguro sa inyo medyo skeptical maglagay ng sunscreen as most of them feel sticky or leave white cast on the skin. If I were to recommend a sunscreen that is incredibly lightweight, quick-absorbing, doesn't interfere with makeup, doesn't leave a white residue, but instead leaves a lovely glow on the skin, and provides broad spectrum coverage and excellent protection against UVA - it's the Dazzle Me Attack On Sun! Sunscreen SPF 50 PA ++++. This susncreen is available in Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, Watsons, and Robinsons. Priced at P398.

When I first saw this lip product, it just looks like your typical clear lip gloss. But the moment I applied it on my lips, para siyang hybrid between a lip balm and lip gloss. And it has now become my go-to lip product! This Dazzle Me 24/7 Wondefullip Serum is a multi-purpose lip topper and treatment which claims to condition lips, brighten lip color, and reduce the appearance of lip lines while providing lasting moisture, and add extra shine. PROS ●Comes in a cute and tiny clear acrylic tube with a clear acrylic top ●Has a unique rectangular-shaped pink rubber applicator ●Has a nice sweet scent ●Has a gel-like texture ●Provides a glass-like shine ●Feels comfortable on the lips ●Reduces the appearance of fine lines ●Keeps lips hydrated CONS ●Can get a little messy to apply ●Not the most long-lasting After using this lip serum, gets ko na what the hype is all about and why a lot of beauty influencers recommend delving into the wonders of lip serum. Na-amaze lang ako how it provides enough hydration, how it made my lips look healthier, and at the same time it also feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips. I actually love using it as a lip topper as it layers comfortably on top of lipstick while providing a glassy finish that truly makes my lips pop. This lip serum is available in Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, Watsons, and Robinsons. Priced at P210.

I wear makeup almost on a daily, kahit nga wala naman akong pupuntahan I still like to apply a swipe of lipstick and fill in my brows. Although, pagdating sa mga acrylic nails and false eyelashes, I just wear them for more special occasions. Ang issue ko kasi with traditional lashes, bukod sa medyo tricky silang i-apply, they are even harder to remove, and often leave the eye sticky with a bit of glue residue. Buti na lang, meron ng magnetic lashes that are easier to apply, more comfortable to wear, and longer lasting. These types of magnetic lashes are exactly what Yesh! Lashes offer! Yesh! Lashes offers high-quality, cruelty-free material artificial lashes that are super soft, lightweight, and hypoallergenic, ensuring maximum comfort and a natural look. Plus, their magnetic lashes are reusable for up to 30 times! While I was doing my date-night makeup look, I decided to use one of their style options. I chose, Meet Cute which is described to give a natural yet polished look and designed to give soft and romantic look. I've actually tried other magnetic lashes from other brands before, pero with these ones from Yesh! Lashes, bukod sa they added just the right amount of length and volume to intensify the nude eye look I was wearing. They're also a dream to apply, I think it only took me less than 30 seconds to apply. Even their Magnetic Liner is easy to use. Although, the liner is not as easy to remove. I had to rub my eyes a few times with cleansing oil until it comes off. Overall, I loved how they made my lashes look thicker and fuller without looking too fake. I guess now mas mapapadalas na ang paglalagay ko ng magnetic lashes. Speaking of paglalagay, sa mga fellow beauty junkies ko dyan na gusto ring subukang gumamit ng magnetic lashes pero worried na baka mahirapan kayong i-apply sila, well with Yesh! Lashes, it only takes 3 easy steps: Step 1: Apply the magnetic eyeliner along your lash line. Step 2: Wait for 30 seconds to let the liner dry out. Step 3: Gently snap your magnetic lashes onto the liner, starting from the inner corner of your eye and working your way outwards. Yesh! Lashes currently have 8 style options to choose from. A pair is priced at P270 (No Eyeliner) to P350 (With Eyeliner).

Even on days na wala ako sa mood na maglagay ng full face makeup, I still make sure to apply lipstick. Just so I could still feel more put together and confident, syempre. At wala na sigurong mas nakakainis para sa mga kagaya kong forever lipstick wearer, when the lipstick colour smudges and leaves me with a stain around my mouth or it starts fading and I'm left with just a terrible outline. Luckily, there are some oh-so-simple tips and tricks that I've been doing to ensure my lip look lasts for hours. ●Prep the lips I use a clean toothbrush to manually slough off any dry and flaky skin off of the lips for the smoothest surface to start with. ●Prime the lips I apply a tiny amount of foundation or concealer all over the lips. Not only it fills in any cracks and creates a smooth and even base for the lipstick, it also cancels out the natural color of the lips so this makes the lip color pop. ●Choose the right formula Pick a lipstick that delivers ultra long-wear. Matte lipstick has the most staying power and the least amount of bleeding or smudging. ●Dabbing not swiping If I use satin or cream lipstick, I dab it onto the lips — not swiping — for a pigmented and precise application. ●Blot the lisptick with tissue After applying the lipstick, I use a folded tissue, open the mouth and place it between the upper and lower lips, then press down on the tissue. This takes away the excess product and oils from the lips. ●Layer more lipstick I apply a little more lipstick after blotting to increase the colour payoff and blot again. ●Set the lips I take a single layer of tissue, lightly press it against the lips and lightly dab a layer of loose, translucent powder with a fluffy powder brush on top of the tissue. This gives the lipstick real staying power. Share nyo na rin if you have some other hacks to make your lipstick stay longer.
P.S. MAC's range of Retro Matte Lipsticks and Matte Lipsticks are my personal favorites in terms of their serious staying power without being drying. When I was just starting with my makeup journey, I didn't really realize the worth of quality makeup brushes. Not until, after a few months lang, most of my brushes, yung mga bristles nila started to fall out na, they get stiffer and stiffer after each use. Every time I use them, they gave that rough & scratchy feeling, na syempre hindi na nakaka-gandang gamitin. Ang maganda naman ngayon, mas madami ng pagpipilian at hindi na lang mga premium makeup brands ang nakakagawa ng brushes na may high-quality bristles, sleek styles, and designs that make them easy to clean. Andami na ring mga affordable but really good quality options. Kagaya na lang ng Ecotools. It has become one of my go-to brands for nice quality and affordable makeup brushes. Plus, a lot of them are safe and gentle enough for sensitive skin. I remember the very first brush set I got from them which was their 5-Piece Mineral Brush Set, kahit synthetic yung bristles nila nagulat ako kasi they are super soft and much easier on the face. Real Techniques is also another budget friendly brand that I love whose makeup brushes make application a breeze. Actually, maraming pwedeng i-consider when buying makeup brushes. Bukod sa quality, there's purpose and use, the size, shape, and weight of the brush, plus how it feels in your hand. Napansin ko rin na with quality brushes, they can provide a more precise placement of color and the ability to enhance the final look of makeup. Syempre, if you have the budget naman, you can always go for a higher quality brush. Based on my experience kasi, a high-end brush lasts a lifetime talaga if you take proper care of it. Some of my all-time favorite brushes are from Sephora Collection and Make Up For Ever. Share nyo na rin mga ka-grocery moms what you consider when buying makeup brushes.
There are days when we just can’t wait to get out of bed to start our day. Pero syempre, may mga araw din na we don't feel like getting up, yung tipong, zero-motivation mornings - let alone putting on makeup. Ako what I do with those tamad days but I still have to look presentable, I limit my makeup look to five items, max! Currently, I've been going for my Dear Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream (P1,220) which is a color-adjusting BB cream that delivers a light radiant finish. It's feels comfortable on the skin, super lightweight and easy to apply. Plus, it contains SPF40 pa to protect my skin from the sun. I just use the Essence Eyebrow Designer Pencil & Brush (P144) hindi lang for my brows, but to create a winged eyeliner na rin. I'm also loving the MAC Mocha Powder Blush (P1,650) which is a very warm-toned, medium-dark pink with a matte finish. The color just gives my complexion warmth and that natural glow. Ang pinakanagustuhan ko is, it stayed on well for long hours before it started to fade on me. For the eyes naman, I just apply Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara (P199) as it really works on lifting up my lashes and making my eyes come alive. Lastly, for my lips, I've been using Kalon Cosmetics Velvet Lip Cream in Leira (P189). It's a highly pigmented lip cream with a matte appearance. Yung color naman niya na may pagka-orange caramel which flatters my skin tone din naman and perfect for those casual days.
