July Haul

Hi everyone! Here's another haul for you all. I tried to shop for my trip to Korea and ended up grabbing some kikay stuffs again. anyhoo I'd like to share it with you all.

Viral: Picture! Picture! An Olay Mini-movie

Hi lovelies! I opened YouTube today to play my favorite YouTube cover artist Alex Goot's soundtrack. While waiting for the video to start this advertisement caught my attention. Picture! Picture! A mini movie ad by Olay.

Plot: Chino (John Llyod) is a wedding photographer who spots a girl crashing his events and ruining his wedding photos. Blah blah blah.. Just watch it guys ☺ It's only 15 minutes.

My thoughts about this ad campaign..

I love the videography! It's well thought of and as you guys can see, pinaghandaan talaga ang production niya. Even for only a non-traditional advertisement this is really well made. Olay is becoming quite viral nowadays with their ads. The last I've watched was Truly, Madly, Smoothly and I loved it so much.

Hmm..That's why I got disappointed with this short film. I don't like it's plot too much. I know it's June and it's the wedding month so maybe they tried to be cohesive with the thought but yeah I don't find the story very appealing. I like the Truly, Madly, Smoothly way better than this one. You guys can watch it too and be the judge ☺

One thing I appreciate though is that although their model is fair skinned they don't literally push that being white is beautiful. The message they are trying to deliver is more of natural beauty and how it can catch attention. This part, I really appreciate it. 

I've seen hate comments on YouTube about how Olay is not choosing Filipinas to be their models. Guys sshh muna tayo. Malay natin sa next mini movie diba? Let's just hope and pray. Stop the hate and spread the love ♥

With all being said, I am anticipating for the next mini series if Olay will still keep on producing it. I love the fact that they put much effort to non traditional advertisements today. I think they are one of the pioneers after Dove came out with their inspirational campaigns.  And please Olay, come up with better plots. Bawi kayo. Aja Fighting! 

What do you guys think of this mini movie? Do you like it?

My little beauty haul

Hi everyone! I hope you guys are doing fine. ☺

I went to SM San Lazaro last Saturday to pick up some cosmetics and here's what I've managed to get.

Let's go over the products one by one..

4U2's envy Halo concealer and highlighter

Retail price : P 394.00

This was actually one of the products I had in mind when I went to SM
along with the 4U2's Dream girl love light BB powder.
Alot of make-up bloggers have been raving about these products so I wanted to try it out.

Heads up for a review about these products. I'll be posting it soon.

Another product I'm absolutely loving ♥

4U2's Dreamgirl lovelight bb powder in 01

Retail price: P 194.00

Nichido's lip pencil in Rosette

Retail Price: P 100.00

This is another good buy. It's pigmented and very affordable. 

Maybelline The Magnum Volume Express

Retail Price: P 349.00 (On sale..I'm not sure how much it really costs though)

I'm not a fan of this one. The formula flaked out on my lashes.

Maybelline Pure Liquid Mineral

Retail price: P 399.00 (This was on sale as well according to the sales lady)

This product has a yellowish shade to it so if you have warm undertone this is good for you.

Olay Age Protect Anti-aging UV Lotion

Retail price: P 199.00

I actually ran out of this product so I needed to grab another one.

 Prevention is better than cure. Fight skin aging while your still young.

 Careline Pimple Concealer

Retail price: P 80.00

I regretted buying this one.
It doesn't smell good and it doesn't do what it's supposed to do (to cover up pimples).
No offense to Careline cosmetics but this product is really disappointing.
Still some of their products are worth trying.☺

Shawill Crystal Lipgloss

Retail Price: P 89.00

Nichido Multiple Stick in 

Retail price: P 188.00

I'm loving this one because it's really pigmented and creamy. It can act as a blush or as a lip tint.

Coloured make-up wedges

Retail price: P 95.00 

Elf Waterproof Eyeliner Pen

Retail price: P 125.00

This was also a fail buy. I was really disappointed with this product.
The tip doesn't glide on well to the skin and the ink smears and fades easily.

Well that's about everything that I've managed to pick up..

There were some awesome finds but not everything was worth the buy.

Well I guess you get what you pay for.
