Wild Peach Cosmetics Palette Review

wild peach cosmetics palette review
I think it was back in May when I purchased myself a personal palette from Wild Peach Cosmetics. Ideally it was for travel purposes because I was about to go to Taiwan that time and I needed a compact thingamajigy that can hold most of my beauty essentials so I searched long and hard for a local retailer. Luckily, Shebby of Shebby Chic recommended me to try this out.

Hi lovelies! How is it going? I hope everyone's doing fine. It's been awfully rainy this past few days. Today I wanna talk about this bronzer that I've purchased sometime ago from The Vanity Zone. I actually wasn't planning on buying this but Bea (the owner of the vanity zone) said on one of her posts that she adored this so much and she highly recommended this so I just gave in and bought myself one. I'm telling you guys, buying this was one of the best decisions I made (with regards to impulse buying). I never imagined this would be a staple in my makeup stash.

Much like a highlighter than a bronzer, this baby comes in a really big pan. The shade that I got is in "Reserve Your Cabana". It has a warm undertone so I think this would be suitable for most filipinas since Asians tend to bend on the warmer side of the color wheel.

Review: Chic Cosmetics 7 piece brush set

What would life with out makeup brushes be? In the past, makeup brushes tend to be very expensive because only high end brands carry them. Luckily today one can easily buy all sorts and kinds of it. Usually department store brands like ELF and even landmark carry good quality yet inexpensive brush sets. Another great place to gain access to quality yet inexpensive brushes are online sellers. Chic Cosmetics Manila is an online shop who carries wonderful dupes for sigma brushes. They were one of the sponsors for the makeup workshop that was organized by Makeup Hub. We were given a 7 piece brush set inclusive to the workshop fee. Super sulit diba?

Now let's get on to the review.
Product Overview:
Brand: Chic Cosmetics Manila
Product name: 7 piece brush set
Brush Material: Synthetic
Price: P 1,250.00
Available at: Chic Cosmetics Manila

 The sleek, cute and sturdy blue packaging really reminds me of Sigma's Mrs. Bunny essential kit. The name of the shop is embedded on the upper and lower part of the tube case and has a clasp mechanism to secure both ends together. Oh and the packaging is made out of leather so yey you for leather fanatics out there. ☺

Upon opening, you'll find the 7 essential brushes inside the tube. I was overwhelmed with the smell of leather when I first opened the kit but it faded away after sometime. Can you see the resemblance of it to the Mrs. Bunny essential kit? Even the color is closely matched.

REVIEW: Sunsilk weather defense


Hi ladies! Ever had problems with frizzy unmanageable hair? I know I do. I personally have coarse frizzy hair and it is frustrating to always feel bad about yourself because your crowning glory is a mess. Good thing Sunsilk came out with their weather defense line including the shield and shine serum and the shield and frizz control light cream

Prettia foam hair color review

Hi folks! This post has been delayed for quite a while now but here it is.
A couple of weeks ago I ordered a box of Prettia foam hair color from Japanichi.
The product arrived a day after I payed for it thru bank (BPI). 
Thank you Japanichi for the super fast transaction.
This product retails for 700 pesos but I got it on sale for 650 pesos free with shipping fee.
This is what the product looks like.
I was really excited to get this and when it came I was super hyped. I instantly wanted to try it out. 
The color I got is in Marshmallow brown.
Okay so this was supposed to be the color that will come out after dyeing, 
soft yellowish brown color.
When you open the box it would look like this.
The contents inside are as follows:
the developer, hair color, leave-on conditioner, plastic gloves and the pump.

JAPANICHI CLAIMS:
Prettia (Kao Japan) Bubble Foam Hair Coloring Kit is an innovative D.I.Y hair coloring product that uses foam to dye the hair. Unlike traditional hair color kit, it turns the coloring agents into bubbles!! Hair coloring is now as simple as like washing hair. Thanks to this super easy & convenient hair coloring mechanism.
It contains the extracts of Amino and Royal Jelly to minimize the dyeing damage and restore the hair. The dye chemicals can transform into foam to blend into hair evenly and effectively. The formula does not have an unpleasant or pungent smell. The finish looks smoothly shiny and the hair does not feel dry or damaged. Beauty Bloggers in Asia has reviewed it as being an easy and quick application that works for everyone. It doesn't stain and is a permanent hair dye.
IMPRESSIONS:
   At first use, I was taken aback by the strong smell of the product. It also stings the eyes specially when you start applying it near the eye area but gradually you'll get accustomed to it and you'll find it super fun to use. I even did this to my hair..
hehehe talk about ursula seaweed hair.
My only struggle when using the product was during application. 
I was afraid that the color would come out unevenly and it did.
 I got more color on the top and bottom section of my hair. 
RESULTS:
My hair color with indoor light
Even though the color application was uneven, I liked the results very much.
VERDICT:
Pros:
  • Easy to use
  • You only need one bottle even if you have long hair
  • Easy to remove
  • Smells better than other hair dyeing products 
  • Didn't stained me
  • Permanent hair dye
  • No need to wait for super long hours. Only 30 to 45 mins is already sufficient.
Cons:
  • The product smell is quite strong 
  • It stings the eyes
  • You might not be able to apply it evenly 
  • Dries the hair.
TIPS:
  • Section your hair into 3 parts. (the lower section, mid section and upper section) this makes application more evenly.
  • Start with the ends rather than with the roots so that you won't end up with hair color only at the top part of your head.
  • If you have longer hair, leave the product on for about 45 minutes to an hour just to make sure that the color applied really well. 
  • Deep condition your hair frequently. There would be a high chance that the product will dry your hair up fast.
  • To preserve and brighten your hair color, use shampoo and conditioner that is specifically for color treated hair.
Will I re-purchase this product?
Yes if ever I'll be re-coloring my hair again.

To whom do I recommend this?
To everyone actually. I highly recommend this. It's easy to use and it's super practical. 

Where can I find this?
A retailing online store: Japanichi (they have alot of other cool products to check out!)


Lastly I would like to extend my appreciation to Japanichi for the super fast transaction. 
Thank you so much! Until our next one!

Bags won't hurt you!

Yup you got it right. It's not bad for a girl to have alot of bags cause it won't hurt! Specially when it's custom made and with good quality. Recently I've searched facebook for online stores that offer color blocked bags and clutches and I've stumbled upon Glam Rock Manila. It's an online store were you can find awesome satchel bags. What's more is that you could also customize your order to your liking. They have a variety of materials you could choose from to mix and match. Yup you could say that it is an ultimate one-stop shop were you could create your own masterpiece! Here's what I got from them.


Sweet Honey and Pink Satchel bag

I love this bag alot! It's so cute and is easy to pair with any clothes. This baby got such good comments even from my co-workers. 


Two tone clutch

I personally don't own alot of clutch bags so when I got this I was like "oh my gosh! It's so pretty!" It's very basic so I wouldn't have any problems matching it to my outfits. Also it has a strap so when i get tired carrying it or worry that I might leave it somewhere I could just pop out the strap and it becomes a sling bag.


I was happy with the items I got that I re-purchased one more for my sister. I browsed their page and found that they've released a new collection which was the Brandy bags. It was so cute and I thought that my sister would love it. At first I couldn't find any color available that my sister would like. Fortunately, Ms. Diane (the owner of glam rock manila) told me that she still had a yellow and red brandy on hand. It was a blessing from the skies. I instantly placed my order. When I got the package I instantly handed it to my sister. She absolutely adored it! She said that it was so cute.

Well I have to say.. They sell quality bags at such low price. Yup and also they have unique designs you could choose from. 

Price breakdown:
Honey in Pink - P 850.00
Two tone clutch - P650.00
Cute and bold Brandy - P 450.00


VERDICT!

Pros:
1.) Unique designs you could choose from
2.) Doesn't cost alot unlike branded satchel bags.
3.) Lightweight! I hate heavy bags. 
4.) Variety of materials you could choose from
5.) They accept custom made orders

Cons:
1.) It took forever to get my order.. hahaha I'm always an excited buyer so yeah I always want to receive my orders on time.
2.) I had an item custom made but came out differently than what I ordered but they were able to fix the problem by changing my order. 


Will I repurchase?
Maybe? I can't say for sure but they've been releasing quite alot of gorgeous designs!

To whom do I recommend this?
Practically anyone who loves bags. Students of course who wants to incorporate attitude and personality to their uniforms and for fashionistas who love to incorporate bags to their accessory range.

Where can I find them?
Their online store: Glam Rock Manila


I would like to extend my appreciation to Ms. Diane Austria of Glam Rock Manila for being patient with me throughout our whole transaction. Thank you so much for these lovely babies! Until our next transaction. ♥


Well I guess that's about it!
Until my next post!

Suesh BLUSH Set Review

Hello folks! What is the one thing you just really need when you're applying your makeup? Well for me, it'll be makeup brushes. Yes, you could also use your fingers but for me, when I use my tools, I feel that I'd be able to control my makeup usage more effectively. It is more hygienic then using your fingers. Makeup brushes are a life saver to my pimple prone face.


Suesh Cosmetics is a company famous for providing quality makeup brushes and tools. Alot of bloggers have been raving about their products so I thought why not give it a shot! Last week while shopping at Trinoma with my sister I decided to buy a Suesh brush set. It was called the BLUSH set and I bought it for about 850 pesos. Not bad for quality brushes. :D




Suesh says that this brush collection is made of mid quality synthetic and natural hair. The brush set comprises of 8 pieces of quality brush.


It also comes with a pink soft leather case. 



First off is the powder brush. It comes in a stylish pink handle perfect for powder or blush application.


This blush brush is one of my faves! It is very soft and dense. I was able to use it as a substitute to my foundation and blush brush. Yes I know! You guys might think it's weird but according to some professionals, denser brushes could also be used as a foundation brush. It acts like a stippling brush which could give you an almost air brush effect! Fantastic right? :)


The following two brushes are also very versatile. You could use it as a lip brush, a brow definer or a gel liner brush. It all depends on your preference.


What else do you need to complete your brush set? Of course a large and small eye shadow brush! This Large eye shadow brush is my ultimate fave from all the brushes in the BLUSH set. I could use it as an eye shadow brush OR as a CONCEALER BRUSH! I'm a person who just can't live without a concealer so for me this brush is a must in my makeup kit!



Last but not the least, the brow/ tool brush and the sponge tip applicator. I don't usually use these tools but I must say they perform well on their respected aspects. The sponge tip applicator is best used for highlighting the inner corners of your eyes. 


I have to say, I'm really impressed with the quality of the brushes. I didn't experienced any shedding or bleeding for the first and second time I washed it. The brushes are very versatile and performs really well. I could use some of the brushes for multiple purposes.

Also I give a plus to the packaging! 

It has this plastic box that protects the products inside. I also love the case! But I would appreciate it more if they had a black case because gives a more professional and sexy look.

VERDICT!

Pros
  • LOVE the packaging
  • Sturdy grip on the brushes
  • could be use for multiple purposes
  • performs well
  • didn't shed or bleed much
  • good for Travelling 
Cons
  • Pink is the only color available
  • Can't think of anything else as of the moment
Will I re-purchase this product?
Sure! I also need another one in case I travel.


To whom do I recommend this?
To beginners or professionals who are looking for quality products for less :)

Where can I find this?
