When Kris Aquino officially launched her make up line with Ever Bilena, my initial reaction is WHAT!? Why local makeup brand, compare to some of her actress friends collaborate with international makeup company. I don't have negative thoughts regarding local makeup products, but its Kris Aquino she's the "KWEEN".
Anyway, if you are a follower of Kris Aquino (like me) you will see how much she adores makeup aside from shoes and bags.
I am happy to know that she's going to make her own makeup line and I love the fact that she partnered with Ever Bilena (as I have said I'm not against local makeup products). I'm glad she choose #ProudlyFilipinoMade.
Kris proudly showed her first two products that are part of the "KRIS LIFE KIT".
The first one is matte lipsticks that comes in five shades. However, only two shades have been released "LOVE" - Red and "LIFE" - Pink.
The other three shades are coming within the year: "LAUGH", "LUCKY" and "LOYAL".
Product Review of LIFE Matte Matic Lipstick
I love matte lipstick but the problem is it easily dries your lips.
In years past, we may have skipped our matte lipsticks in favor of the shinier and glossier, more balm to use, but thanks to new formulations made possible by Kris Aquino and Ever Bilena, comfortable matte exist and they are here to stay forever!
What I like about LIFE shade is, it is simple and it is an all-occasion lipstick that finishes off with matte yet moisturizing and it has a balmy texture.
I bought LIFE at Robinsons Department Store for PHp245.
This balm's creamy formula of Kris "LIFE" Matte Matic Lipstick deposits just the right amount of matte, pinkish color -- and never accentuates dry patches on our lips. It looks almost natural on fair skin tone.
This new formula combines comfort with innovation, and not to mention the vivid, seriously saturated pigments it gives to your lips.
The posh packaging is a plus for me too! Local brands are really leveling up.
Even without using a lip liner it still looks good and it last for about 4 hours. It only wore off when I ate greasy food (understandable since I've never has a lipstick that is high-end) that withstood greasy food.
I'm so happy I found my perfect pink!
Will try LOVE definitely!
So, if you want an affordable, natural, matte lip colour -- try this product!

I saw many Filipino YouTubers and Bloggers have already used this product and give their honest reviews and opinions, so I bought the product out of curiosity because I wanted to try it for myself.
Bought Kyemerut shade from Vice Ganda Cosmetic line at Watsons SM Ecoland. VICE COSMETICS been around in the market since 2016, I heard good reviews about the product. Anyway, this brand is PETA-Certified, Paraben FREE and super affordable!
As expected in a liquid lipstick, it can really be drying. The shade Kyemerut look good for me, but it is not my type of pink. It was a little too pink and when applied twice looks like a kind of brown leaning on the fuchsia side when you applied it more on your lips.
It's OK if you apply it once, but the sense to have a #GandangFresh look cannot be achieved. That is why you really need to have a second application to get the desired beautiful "pout" lips.
It has a vanilla scent but doesn't really cover the chemical smell it has. Though I am impressed that a local brand like Vice Cosmetics nailed liquid lipstick. The colors are truly beautiful and feel just as it looks compared to the Vice Co Matte Lipstick I have purchased (read my review here).
It has creamy formula and it glides on but it would take some time to fill in your lips. I love the brush, I admire how its slender to reach the outer corners of your lips. Same as with the Vice Co Matte Lipstick it dries pretty quick so I know it's set, unlike some of the liquid lipsticks which take up time to set and sometimes leaving your lips wet or make that kind of smudge.
I love nude lipstick, that's why I bought Kyemerut because as stated on their websites, "soft, cool nude shade" , but for me its natural and warm. I am very honest here, it really varies depending on the lighting being used, lip color and skin tone. That is why it is much better to buy it at the mall instead buying it online.
For this review, I did not used a lipliner because I want to see what make shade looks like on my lips once it dries. The lipstick is pigmented and I only applied two coats on the picture above. It looks like mauve brown shade at the first glance. It is smooth and very light!
It's an ultra matte once dried up, same like Severe it really dry and leave your lips chapped, rough like wrinkles. But it is comfortable to the lips. Even if you eat or drink it last longer though after an hour it will fade - just retouched, it will not leave any patches even you added a layer on top of the first layer and I loved it!
VERDICT:
I think for its price, it is a good product and there are a lot of colors to choose from the line so maybe I'll try another color soon.
Overall, Vice Cosmetics Phenomenal Liquid Lipstick KYEMERUT almost as good as my ColourPop liquid lippies! And for Vice Cosmetics Philippines has my respect and I understand why their products are HYPE even though there are cons its still BESTSELLER.

Just to give you a beauty tip, don't forget to put LIP BALM on your lips. An essential product to put on the lips before applying any lip cosmetics. Liquid lipstick make your lips unattractively dry and leave dry patches.

Hello everyone! It's been a long time that I've posted a review for cosmetic products. I first saw this product on YouTube reviews and it mostly get a positive feedback, so I decided to give it a try.
Product review posts (especially with beauty and cosmetic) are in many ways the core of what blogging is all about, in some cases it helps company build a rank and develop comparison for customers opinion who share their thoughts regarding the product.
Right now, I will share to you my thoughts and opinion about Severe.
PRODUCT REVIEW of Good Vice Matte Lipstick SEVERE
What I liked about this product, it is very pigmented and has a good color payoff. It's a RUBY RED SHADE.
And to be honest, it was OK at first but after several hours, it felt patchy, sticky and dry. Though you need 2 to 3 swipes to apply in order to get that beautiful pout, and as I said the pigmentation is amazing!
VERDICT:
Vice Ganda Cosmetics is super affordable. I bought this product at Watsons Philippines - SM Lanang Premier for only PHp195 ($3.65). The color selections are on point for Filipina skin tones and the names of their lippies are super funny -KERING KERI, EKLAVU, HAYABAYABAYU, PAK GANERN, etc...
A Paraben Free and it's PETA certified cruelty FREE!
My only cons about SEVERE (I don't know about the other lippies under Vice Co) it tugs easily, so you need to exfoliate and prime your lips before applying this.

If you notice Korean beauty and skin care products are taking over the Philippine beauty market. Davao City residents' complexion looking youthful and fresh than usual, perhaps it's because they've spread on PHp78 face mask from Korean beauty haven TONY MOLY, which just arrived into town.

This place, which releases authentic Korean made and exclusive Tony Moly products from skin care, cosmetics, hair care, eye care, etc...sounds like a beauty enthusiasts' playground!
Honestly, a typical Pinay may not be exactly a skincare fanatic compared to Koreans, but right now we are slowly indulging into the popular Korean skin care and makeup trend.
The biggest challenge here is, can we all show that we can afford to try the Korean skincare routine without having to spend that much. TONY MOLY helps you on how to remain on-that budget level with their products without burning your pockets, for the first time Tony Moly customers you can try their 8 Best Sellers.
TONY MOLY BEST SELLERS
It not only focus hundreds of exclusive products to the Philippine market, but also features Tony Moly staff and management that will help you with K-beauty skin products and introduce the great brand's they have in store that I'm sure you will truly love as well.
I recently visited the new flagship location together with my #TeamDDI Mom Influencers, An Alfafara of KETCHUP THE LATEST FROM LOUISE and Tere R-n of DAVAO LIFE where we mapped out our favorite Tony Moly products.
Ahead, here are my eight picks worth making the trip for: Floria Brightening Peeling Gel, Trio Liptone - Get it Tint!, I'm Real Skin Soothing, I'm Real Radiance, I'm Real Purifying, Luminous Goddess Aura Glow Cushion, Perfect Eyes Liquid Eye Liner, and Easy Touch Auto Eye Brow.

Andrea Pamela Amado, AGC (Amado Group Company) CEO and President of Tony Moly Philippines and (Etude House Philippines), told us that "they are planning to open another stores within this year in Davao City, then expand to another place in Mindanao."
The store also offers makeup, palettes, hair care, fragrance, eye care, nose care, skin care with natural derived ingredients and Instagram-worthy personalized makeup.
While the store does offer a wide variety of products in a range of high and low prices, many of the items are quite reasonable. Moisturizers run around P300+, while masks can go as low as P78.
Plus, the best part of all is having Tony Moly near my place! I love the location because it is easy to find at the ground floor of SM City Ecoland Davao just near PetCo.

You don't have to be professional to achieve fabulous look. In my case, it take me years to learn my face shape, what color suits my lips and how much to apply for blush on that will look natural and beautiful.
In my last post, I've shared with you the TIPS and TRICKS of using spoon in applying Eye Makeup. These time I will share something that will help my fellow beauty blogger and vlogger friends on how to end their agony with a clumpy mascara.
Recently, a friend of mine bought a mascara, problem is just for 2 days the mascara turn dry and sticky. I guess most of the girls encounter this kind of a problem, especially those who are vain in giving their eyelashes a highlight.

FIX YOUR DRY or CLUMPY MASCARA
- 4-5 drops of any generic eye drops(but some prefer to use Visine).
- Close it back up. A quick stir with the brush.
- And ready to use.
***BTW, you can also use any saline solution meant in storing contact lenses.
Mascara should be replaced every 3 to 4 months, but now using this technique you can use it longer and you can save money too!

Christmas malls are selling their products at a lower cost price. They are bustling on a "YEAR END SALE" signs everywhere.
I should know that because I once have worked in a shopping mall and as for a savvy shopper they should know that some items are actually with a better deal if you shop after the holiday season.
MAYBELLINE WOODEN ROSE AngelFit Brighten Up Blush
I bought this for only PHp50. Is that a big savings I get? Yes indeed! Because its original price is PHp270.
And as far as I know about MAYBELLINE ANGELFIT Product it is exclusively distributed here in Asia and one of Maybelline's best products as well.
So let us go with my review.
I am not fond of using blush-on with a brush, I already got my explanation from my other post that brush irritate my skin. I am more comfortable employing a liquid blush-on that you can easily drift into your face and off you go.
And some of the colors in a compact looks scary when you used it because they are so highly pigmented.
But I was wrong with this one. The LUMINOUS CHEEK BLUSH THAT NATURALLY BRIGHTENS UP AND SCULPTS YOUR FACE...is way different from the other compact blushes I've come across.
COLOR AND PACKAGING
Comes in a clear transparent pink plastic case with a tiny cheek brush inside the package. Small that you can easily bring wherever you go as long you need to look great!
The color is a mix of pink and peach. Pretty and natural that adds nice pinkish sheer and glow to your face as what you can read at the back of the product. It looks natural.
Though it is quite pigmented if you apply it many times on your cheeks. Just apply it once or twice, do not exceed you will look like a clown.
POWDER
The texture of the powder is actually excellent. Be careful if you happen to drop the blush as the powder tends to break and crack easily.
BRUSH
Pretty love the brush it is soft and handy. As I used it, it never irritates me or give me skin rashes.
Wooden Rose in a suggested retail price is expensive, but this is a top-notched product that most makeup artists and celebrities love MAYBELLINE blushes.
I don't regret buying it, though I get big savings from it. And yet if it will go back to its original price I will still buy it back.
