ON THE SPOTLIGHT: Collection Colour Match Foundation Review

     Next to lip products, i was excited to try Collection Colour Match Foundation. The product name itself will draw attention to anyone who reads it. If you follow my blog, you would know that I'm not a foundation junkie. I don't wear foundation in an everyday basis. More often than not, i will wear tinted moisturizer or none at all, just powder and concealer will do for me. Maybe i'm just lazy to put foundation on, that's why


 Packaging? Oh boy! I have to say i'm impressed how they came up with the packaging. It has a frosted glass container and very sturdy. It contains 30ml of product. It comes with a pink pump dispenser so it nice and sanitary and a transparent pink lid. The pump dispense just the right amount of product unlike other which you're not in control with.


On the packaging labels:

" Colour Match Foundation reflects your natural tones.

 With Skin Tone Technology that adapts to your skin colour. 

Flawless, natural finish. 

Oxygen Complex to let your skin breathe. 

SPF 20. "

I got mine in (4) Natural.

Without makeup.

Consistency of product is not runny and not thick. Just in between. 
Right side of face is with foundation.
Whole face is with foundation.
 This foundation i say gives light to medium coverage. It didn't completely hide my blemishes and there was slight redness on my nose area. It has a dewy finish. When you smell the product from the bottle, it does smell slightly off but after applying it on your face you wouldn't smell anything bothering.  It is very lightweight and as if you didn't apply anything on your face. Super easy to blend using my Elf Flat Top Brush. 

Flash Photography
 This is the only downside to this product. Because it has SPF 20 it gives a white cast on flash photography. I advise using this during the day for protection from the sun and not when going to a night out. 

Full face makeup
I didn't set the foundation with powder so i have dewiness on my nose area. No concealer was also used. I love how it really adapts to my skin tone. As you have noticed, the first photos of me , looked a shade lighter than my skin tone but after i finished my makeup, i was surprised to see that it adapted to my skin tone. This foundation changed my perspective, I will now use this everytime i'll do my makeup. I can't think of enough good things to say. So yeah, try it now!

Collection Cosmetics PH Launch at Rockwell Tent

Not long time ago, i joined the Work The Colour Contest of Collection Cosmetics Ph. I remembered doing photo shoots with my sister in each category, Rock Chic, Softly Natural and Popping Pastel. After the shoot for popping pastel, the vain in me took over and took selfies from my phone. And to my surprise, the selfie that i sent to them was chosen as their last winner for Popping Pastel Category for Work The Colour. To cut the story short, i was contacted and won 3 VIP tickets for the brand's official launch and limited edition makeup kits.

Rock Chic, Softly Natural and Popping Pastel (that's me!)
 The beauty junkie in me, wouldn't want this once in a lifetime chance to attend a launch party of one of UK's top cosmetic brands. I brought two of my closest friends to share this experience. We were there exactly at 7 in the evening, June 19, 2013 and was welcomed by Ms. Tania and she immediately gave the awesome suitcase filled with makeup.

*brace yourself for photo heavy post.

ON THE SPOTLIGHT: Flower Beauty Lip Service Lip Butter in Sheer Snapdragon

     Hey bears! It had been a while since I last bought a lipstick but the lip junkie that I am was intrigued by this new brand, Flower especially their lip products. And thank you for online shops, i got to hold on to one. This one in particular i got from Bon Marche for Php350. This online shop gives the cheapest price a product could get.

ON THE SPOTLIGHT: The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter

     I had been eyeing this for months now. Why? Because it was love at first smell. LOL! My olfactory nerve loves it so much, my brain was aroused. What kept me from giving in was the price, i think its unreasonably overpriced for Php 695 a piece. I convinced myself that it will be on sale in no time and yes, i was right. The Body Shop always has their annual half the price sale. 

What the actual product look like.
How much product you'll get.
To whom is the product for.
More labels...
     I've tried this already a couple times now, and still i'm obsessed with the smell. The smell lingers on my skin for a decent time but doesn't lasts all day like other body butters would. It's super thick so it really moisturizes your skin especially my skin. I'm suffering from a recent skin allergy and this body butter saves me from dry, flaky, gross skin. 

     What i hate? I'm not a fan of the sticky feeling it gives you after slathering onto your body. And when i say sticky, dang sticky! Maybe because it is still summer but i'll try to use it when the colder months is here. 

     Will i repurchase? NO. I mean it pretty much does what it suppose to do but I REALLY HATE THE STICKY FEEL it gives me. And i think other body butter brands would do the same minus the eeky feel to it.

May 2013 Favorites (Makeup, Beauty and Random Things)


May Favorites on the rocks.
     Hey guys! Sorry i'd been MIA for the last couple of months. There's a lot going on with my life since graduating from college. And now, I can finally blog again on a regular basis until the results of my board exams release, pray for me y'all (officially unemployed right now). I'm clueless what to blog about and since almost everyone's sharing their May favorites, i decided to do the same. Monthly favorites posts are my thing right now, i like to get nosy on what others been loving and read why they love specific products. So here are the products that made the past month extra special.
     

  •      Soap and Glory's Clean On Me Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel - This has got to be made by  angels. It lathers easily and luxuriously. I love the scent that lingers on my skin even after rinsing it off. For the clarifying department, i give this 5 stars. Since it has a built-in body lotion, my skin's supple every after wash. I used this everyday for the month of May and boy, a little goes a long way. 
  •       Soap and Glory's Shower Puff- This thing plus my shower gel works amazing. It's so dense that it will give thick lather in the shower. I tried it with all my shower gels and really works wonders. It's tighly packed so no worries of loose puff. 
  •       Victoria's Secret Garden in Passsionate Kisses - I am not a big fan of VS products and believe it or not i found out about this when my good friend gave me one. At first, i was hesitant to try but one day i ran out of my perfume that i decided to give it a go and then the rest was history. I love how the scent stays on forever. By the way, this is my second bottle and it's a bonus that my boyfriend loves this too.
  •      Careline Blush in Charming Pink - This matte blush gives a healthy flush on my cheeks without looking overly done and with the affordable price, what's not to love?
  •      San San Eyeliner Pen in Black- I don't wear eyeliner everyday because i suck at doing it but when i feel like wearing it, i grabbed this baby. It's like using a mini marker that's very easy to use. After applying this product, it stays and won't go anywhere you won't like. 
  •      Careline Concealer with Tea Tree Oil in Almond- I love this product so much the label faded already. When i read that it helps get rid of pimples, i was skeptic. I think it does really help reduce the size of your zit and conceals it. 

  •      Nichido Spot Concealer in Neutral- I use this everyday in my lower waterline and voila instant eye brightness. The staying power though is not that good, maybe 4 hours max. 


  •      Milani Shadow Wear Quad in Sedona Sunset- Last month, i had constantly used this everyday. It's so pigmented and gives a natural look. I have everything i need for my eyes with this quad.
  •      Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Banana- An amazing product indeed! I love using this all over my face especially as a/an undereye highlight. Kept my face matte all day. 


  •      Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara- What's my monthly favorites without a mascara? I just can't live without curling my eyelashes and putting on some mascara. And i am obsessed with this particular mascara for it gives length and holds my curl all day without smudging.

  •      Garnier BB Eye Roll-on- BEST UNDEREYE CONCEALER EVER! If you can get hold on to this product, grab one immediately and then you'll see how much it will make a difference. I swear by it! This tube will last you for a long time. I have this since last year and still going.

  •      Benefit Hoola Mini- This saved my face from being flat with no dimension. In times, where i just want to warm up my complexion, i just lightly dust it all over my face

  •      Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait- MLBB kind of lipstick. The photo don't give justice but the lipstick has gold specks on it so if you apply it you don't need a gloss. It instantly makes your lips a little bit fuller. 
  • Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart- If i wanted a pop of color on my face, i use this on its own or mostly topped with Peach Parfait. I love how it is so easy to apply, all the lip butters are, and also very moisturizing with a decent color pay off.      
  •      Human Nature 100% Natural Moisturizing Night Cream with Plant Collagen- Collagen is good for your skin and yes, all natural baby. I love this product because it gives my skin all the love it needs at bedtime. One thing i don't like about it, is the smell when you first apply it. But the smell wears off so it's no biggie. Yay for supple skin the next day!
  •      Mini Eiffel Tower- Random favorite, eh? But who wouldn't love this cute Eiffel Tower, right? Last month this had been on top of my desk and i love it so much. Someday i will see the real thing already not a mini one.
  •      Colorful Skull Bracelet- This has been a mainstay on my wrist the past month. It transforms a dull outfit into a fun one. Imagine our skulls, this colorful. 

That's it, pancit! Wonder what products will be on my list this June? ;)
