It's been a long time since this challenge have gone over me.. =)

I know I was not able to keep up with the 30 day challenge (make up) on my blog due to long hours of work plus the time I have to keep up with my beloved son Adi.




He is growing up so fast, that being not able to see him most of the time is killing me.

I work 9.6 hours that 48 hours in a week and it is a struggle to keep a blog, a job and also take care of my son. But that part is what makes me feel that I am a super mom. I guess?!! It's never an easy job but the most rewarding of all.

I guess I might as well proceed with the post. Enough of the mommy rants, I'd rather post a separate one for that too. You know, i love my son so much and I miss him ALL THE TIME.

For you who have or might have been interested to see my makeup collection, scroll down below. =)
Most of them I got from AVON

                            these are some of my eyeshadows and eyeliners, eye primer, blending brush, etc. i got the palette from chic cosmetics. so far, the colors are good but some of the colors are chalky =(

.
my makeup collection!. all sorts of them =) i actually love eye shadows. and lipsticks. I am also on the look out for the perfect foundation that is why i haven't got hold of them yet. that liquid foundation I got from AVON. I'll do a review on that soon. I have been using it for a month now and so far I am loving it!

I have been starting to get conscious about my face since I have places my utmost closest attention on facial products especially make up. At the age of 26 and turning 27, I know I have aged and had to take care of my precious face.

I really aspire to have that flawless skin but unfortunately I don't. My face is no exception and it frustrates me sometimes to see those blackheads and oiliness that comes with it. My T-Zone is like so shiny you can swipe an oil blotting sheet and get it damped right then and there.

So, to end this misfortune that I so call, I am immensely taking this beauty ritual on a regular basis. I usually do just wash my face with just soap and water but then, I wanted to get that smooth and blemish free skin. I know sometimes I do have an unhealthy diet and I bet I should also start there. I'd like to take that opportunity to finally be conscious of what I eat. Maybe I'll do a separate challenge for that after this Skin Care 101 stabilizes and be part of my routine.

If only I have all the means to find and get a hand at all the Beauty products and facial treatments I would love to. But for now, let me just stick to these products that are affordable and somehow really work for me and my skin type. =)

First Step: Cleanse
I use the cleanser from the Tea Tree facial care set from AVON and the Eskinol Deep Cleanse Facial Cleanser. First, I wash my face with the tea tree cleanser. I love it cause it has micro beads present that will really get down on the pores of your face, but I only get a pea-sized amount. What i don't like about it is that it is quite rocky and somewhat strong on the skin but for me it just serves its purpose since I have an oily type of skin. It feels really refreshing after washing my face with it.

What I use for my face after washing and scrubbing is the Deep Cleanser from Eskinol, I love this product since it can gently clean away dirt and makeup on your face. Plus it also prevents blackheads and also whitens! =) This is what I am using as of the moment but the one in green variant is what I really love.


Second Step: Tone

After all the scrubbing and those deep cleansing on our pores, we need to apply a toner to tone down the pores of our skin. Toners help to close out the pores and get that smooth and flawless face. What I am using as the moment is the one from PONDs. It is an oil solution toner, perfect for my oily skin. What I don't like about this product is that is that stingy feel after I placed some on my face. I prefer the one from AVON though since it is much gentler and has that soothing effect on my face right after application. I can feel my skin now and has soften and is much smoother. Makes me want to purchase toners from AVON. For only 129 pesos why not.

Hi!!

How are you doing? Today, I am posting for Day 8 of my 30 Day Makeup Challenge.
My favorite day time look is the Natural Look, which is what most of the ladies should be sporting.
We know that we don't want to look very clownish when it comes to putting on makeup.

We should feel comfortable about how we look and somehow flaunt our natural beauty and facial features.
Want to achieve that Natural Look?



Here is a video from Julianne Kaye of Maybelline New York:

Hi Good Day to all my readers!

How's your day been?

Today I will be posting Day 6 of my 30 day Makeup Challenge.

ANSWER:

I have been viewing a lot of make up tutorials in you tube in the likes of noe of colorismyweapon, ana patricia and a whole lot more...

For me false eyelashes are essential to achieve those striking eyes but I don't deem it to be a necessity for everyday use.

Practically speaking, I don't use it for the purpose of beauty but because I work in the office and most of the time I spend facing the computer.

But I would love to try those too, I would prefer the natural hair ones since it would look like my lashes and not so overdo my everyday look. =)

Hi how are you doing today?

My question for the challenge is a tough one since I am an eye makeup type of girl.
I love colors especially on the eyes and perhaps for me the eye is the most catching feature a woman has and accentuating it with the perfect shades of shadows would be unkaboggable! (cannot be outwon).

I have tried  various eye shadows as well from cosmetic brands like AVON, Ever Bilena, Colors Cosmetics (Colour Collection from Tupperware Brands) and also some China made products in the market.

Hello!

Thanks again for dropping by into my blog. It's Sinulog once again here in Cebu and I am just so sad that I myself could not make it into joining this year's Grand Mardi Gras. It is already my second year in a row since last year I just got pregnant with my first baby boy A.

So today, I will be appreciating the TV programs just as always have been. Off to blogging now, since Baby A's sound asleep.

My fifth day of the 30 day make up challenge, and today I will be answering the question, what is my favorite lip product.

HI Lovelies!

How is your day today? I hope everything in your life is going smoothly.

Today I will be answering the 4th question for the 30 day makeup challenge.

You might wanna read my recent post: Miss Cebu 2013 Winners

ANSWER:

I don't usually wear foundation daily to work. I allow my skin/face to breathe from all the chemicals on my face. I usually just dab on my powder from Johnsons and Johnsons to get that fresh and oil free look on my face. However, early in the morning I do apply a facial cream/moisturizer from AVON you might want to read my post HERE.

I do wear BB creams the ones I used were from Maybelline but I eventually stopped using it since it increases the oiliness in my face. I am on the look out for that perfect Matte Foundation in the market.
I am a fan of concealers as well. They help hide my blemishes.

That's it for me now.

How about you? What products of foundation do you wear?
Leave your comments. I would love to hear from you.

Ciao!

Hi!

Great Monday to everyone!
I am now off to my third day of the 30 day Makeup Challenge.

I am still a new beauty blogger and from then I haven't used so many beauty products.
The ones which I opt to purchase are the products from AVON.

You might wanna read: Last December Make up Haul
They are of high quality and really suit the Asian skin and the kind of weather we have in the Philippines.

As of the moment. I am loving The face shop blusher and the eyeliner from PALLADIO.
I am still not at the stable point of saying or choosing my favorite yet since I personally haven't tried much of those high end make up products as of the moment but hoping to eventually try soon.

For my skin care, I am loving OLAY and MAXIPEEL.
I also use AVON skin care products such such the Rose Hip toner and cleanser as well as their moisturizer.

The make up brand which I am hooking to try for this year are REVLON, MAC and MAYBELLINE.

That is it for me now. Till Then!


XO,
