Beautynomics Review : Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Vanilla



spacer

I really love eyeshadow primers. They’re just the idea of heaven for those who have oily lids like me. Heck, even my eyebrows have oil glands that I need really waterproof eyebrow pens, eyeliners, and even eyeshadow primers. I need makeup products to stay put, and trust me, it’s not cheap. I think my skin’s just too demanding and challenging. *pouts*

For reference, before we go further, I’m defining what eyeshadow primers are. Eyeshadow primers are what you apply on your lids just right before you apply your eyeshadow, to make the eyeshadow “stick” to the primer, and remain there, preventing oxidation, and oiling up of lids which can make the eyeshadow run all over your lids ( which is messy ). Eyeshadow primers can actually be concealer, but they’re just too moisturizing. A good eyeshadow primer is usually sort of a cream with not much moisture, a bit dry, to help the eyeshadow just stick on the lids, and just stay put there. For me, it’s imperative to get one if you’re into eye makeup. It gives you security!

I’ve been using Urban Decay Primer Potion, and as much as I love it, and I know how effective it is, I can’t help but have some difficulty getting it in the Philippines. It’s also a bit hard and sorta tricky to blend eyeshadows with the Primer Potion. But then, I’ve always thought that it’s the only thing that works, so I just stayed faithful to it for years. I’ve had tubes of Urban Decay Primer Potion all used up and some just dried from time, I think I’ve used more than 5 tubes in this lifetime already.

But then something came along that made me change my mind about things.

Yes, this! The Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Vanilla is my new HG Eyeshadow Primer. Continue reading

Beautynomics Review : Nivea SUN Protect & Refresh Invisible Cooling Mist

spacer

I’ll make this short and quick.

Oh, how I love the new Nivea SUN Protect & Refresh Invisible Cooling Mist!

As summer is my favorite time of the year, I just feel so happy to be near at sea. I can even feel that it’s summer year round in my heart as my dives have been more frequent. The closer I am to water, the happier I get, and the more refreshed and calm my mind becomes. Oh, I dream of owning a resort one day! If only.

Going back, with the warm sunshine filling my senses with good vibes, I still need protection for my skin, as it can burn without sun protection. Nivea is one of my trusted brands in sun care, with my favorite tanning oil from them. The Nivea SUN Protect & Refresh Invisible Cooling Mist is a genius innovation – it’s a spray-on sunblock.

Scuba Diving Is My New Love, and Summer Essentials For Sea Adventures!

spacer

ugh, look at my hair here, and my bare face! Funny, I still managed to pose! =))))

Perhaps this must be my most unglamorous photos in my entire life being posted in public, but somehow, I don’t mind. I was surprised at myself with that reaction, with me, having that need to always look good and presentable anywhere. I think I know why I didn’t mind being part of a Dealgrocer ad, with my hair all disheveled, and drenched in hair-killing saltwater, and me sans the makeup and even my eyebrows ( ack!!! diving after one hour erases even the most waterproof eyebrow makeup! ) .

spacer

makeup-less, but I am at my happiest. One of those times when I say, “I don’t care how I look like.” I’m happy playing Little Mermaid underwater, with my tank and paraphernalia. Hahahaha!

I am happy. Scuba diving makes me really, really happy. Continue reading

The Beautynomist Takes On the Shiseido White Lucent Skin Challenge!

Two weeks ago, Sample Room Partner Bloggers were given a treat to an afternoon of beauty pampering, and makeover, courtesy of Shiseido Philippines. We all met up at SM Makati, at their current pop-up store at the ground floor, near the SM Department Store there. We were given a chance to try Shiseido’s newest breakthrough product that promises you that your dark spots will be erased, and what would be left, is only beautiful, even, bright, beautiful skin.

Shiseido White Lucent The Ultimate Whitening Pair works hand in hand, as the Shiseido White Lucent Spot Targeting Serum+ crushes all the hardened melanin on our skin ( our dark spots caused by aging, sun exposure, and even hormones ), and Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask ejects all the existing crushed melanin.

This is the Shiseido pop-up store at SM Makati. There, they offer free consultation ( no purchase required ), and makeovers and facials with a minimum purchase. There, you can also see Shiseido makeup that you can actually swatch and check for your perfect shade!

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Challenge Results

It’s the end of my challenge with Kiehl’s! Overall I had a good experience with it, and I’ve definitely seen results.

To sum up my Kiehl’s Midnight Skin Recovery Challenge, here are my notes about it :

spacer

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

The Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate earns goodie points as it made my skin softer, and definitely that brightening effect when I would wake up. I feel that my skin is more hydrated and protected from the A/C when I sleep, so I wake up with good skin. What I am not accustomed with, is the oil base, though. As an oil-phobic gal, I must admit that I do not feel that great when I use oil products. Though this is really good, and I see this so promising with dry skin, and normal skin, I just think I have issues with it being oil-based. I wish they would have a water-based serum. Knowing Kiehl’s, a brand that develops really good skin care products ( I swear with them with all my heart – the Blue Herbal line is just love, ), I would get a water-based serum from them in a heartbeat!

I think that this is Holy Grail material, for those who have no trouble with oil-based products. I see really great potential for this for those who have normal and dry skin, and I have no problems recommending it to my friends who have that skin type! Continue reading
