When I decided to pursue my love for makeup, and that was when I enrolled in makeup school,  my concern back then was what are the good makeup brands out there.  I read reviews or asked makeup artists who have been in the business for a long time.  Well, there was a time (there still is) when I went thru trial and error just to try out the product/s myself and find out whether it's good or not. After investing on makeup, I then realized the importance of having a good set of brushes.  Gone are the days when I would think that tools don't matter.  They really do. And back in those days, the good brushes that I know (and most people do recommend), don't come cheap. Good thing there's Charm brushes nowadays! (wink)   And so, apart from making sure that my makeup would stay bacteria-free, I also have to make sure that my brushes would not only stay bacteria-free, but also in tip top shape!   And so, the hunt for a good makeup brush cleaner began...

Are you into lipsticks? Me, not really.  But if there's one lipstick that I think I can't live without, that would be MAC Peachstock! Even my girl friends can attest to it.  I love it to bits that it's the only lipstick I get to finish and have been re-purchasing.  But this year, I told myself that I'll be more adventurous when it comes to lip colors, and that I would try to wear more brights.   I've been trying out the lipsticks I just bought for my clients' use and surprisingly, I am beginning to appreciate other colors aside from my beloved Peachstock! ^_^ So when I learned that Digitaltraincase finally has the Sweet Pea & Fay's liquid lipsticks, I made sure that I pay their store a visit (which is by the way in the same building where I live) to get the first dibs on their new stuff. Sweet Pea & Fay Liquid Lipsticks I've posted some swatches on my Instagram account and got requests to post them here on my blog.  I am alw...

Who doesn't love online shopping?  I used to shy away from the idea until one day, I just had to buy a gift for a girl friend who's celebrating her birthday, but my busy (and messed up) schedule just won't allow me to even have a quick trip to the mall.  That's when I discovered the joys of doing online shopping.  Imagine just sitting back, a few clicks here and there and you get your stuff shipped to anywhere you want!   What's even better is that there are some online shopping sites that offer Free Shipping.  Yep, FREE! One of them is the Glamourbox Online Boutique.   Glamourbox is one of the beauty subscription boxes in the country today.   (See my posts about it here and here ). Aside from the well-curated box you get each month you've subscribed, they also have an online boutique where you can find, and buy the products found inside their boxes...and more!   Check out brands from Australian-based skincare line and items...

Happy Sunday, everyone! How's your weekend?  I hope you're having a blast.  Me?  Hmm, what's a weekend? (laughs) Oh well, don't worry bout me.  I am having a grand time here at work.   ^_^  Bright shades of eyeshadows are in this year, so here's what I wore last Friday: K-Palette long lasting brow liner In2it brow powder Majolica Majorca Lash and Brow Colorist MAC eyeshadows in Aquadisiac (lid), Contrast + Bamboo (crease, lower lashline) K-Palette eyeliner micro Fairydrops Volume Burst mascara Revlon Correcting Primer Kuma Concealer #3 Kate Mineral Liquid Foundation Kate Mineral Liquid Powder  Revlon Age Defying with DNA Advantage concealer Sleek face contour kit NYX Flat But Not Matte powder (undereyes) MAC blush in Tippy Sweet Pea and Fay's liquid lipstick in Paper Cut oh yes, I wore this look in the office ^_^ I am currently loving Kate by Kanebo products!  I recent...

I have always been a fan of Nivea body lotions.  And being a sucker for anything whitening (okay, don't hate me for that!) I particularly love their whitening lotions.  Aside from they really work, I love that they don't feel heavy on the skin.  And the scent's not overpowering.   So when I heard that Nivea came up with this UV Whitening Serum, I really got excited.  Well, I always get excited whenever there are new products coming out, more so if they are from a brand that I really love.   NIVEA UV WHITENING SERUM The answer to lighter, fairer skin, once and for all NIVEA, helming the world’s best line-up of whitening products, introduces the NIVEA UV Whitening Serum , the Philippines’ first and only intensive whitening and repair serum for the body.   This is NIVEA’s first foray in introducing serum to the Philippine market, in its pursuit to provide more long-lasting whitening products that do not only stop ...

Woohoo, it's Friday!  Though I won't have one (hello, weekend work!) I wish everybody to have a great one. And would you believe we're more than halfway done with January?  How time flies, no?  Soon, it'll be Christmas again! (laughs).  Okay,  I guess I went too advanced.   ^_^ Anyways, here's a quick post of my nails.  It's been a while since the last time I posted one, and hopefully, I'd be able to do more.   Orly Glitz (gold) + Nyx Prune Juice (plum) I know they look messy, I was having a hard time sleeping the other night so I got up around 3 am and did this.  I became sleepy just right about after applying the base coat...but decided to finish it anyway.  So there...nail art by a sleepy me! Tata! Please like me on Facebook ( IambrigittePage ) and follow me on Twitter ( Iamsutil ) and Instagram (Iambrigitte)

One brand that I always look forward to whenever they come up with palettes would be Bobbi Brown.  I already have three: Bobbi-to-go , Pretty-in-a-box  and the Beauty Rules . And then just before the holidays, our dear friends from Bobbi Brown gave me one of the palettes from their holiday collection...the Black Pearl eye palette. Ready for wrapping - our Black Pearl eye palette was made for party-luxe eyes.  Six velvety-rich shades were handpicked to help you create dramatic smokey looks with mesmerizing shimmer (depending on how they're applied).  Includes a mini-dual ended shadow/liner brush for precise application wherever you go. Php3200 Like my other Bobbi Brown palettes, this one's also handy.  It comes in a black, glossy plastic packaging with a collegiate-type looking logo. If you're an OC (like me, at times!) , I'm sure you'd hate that you can see your fingerprints all over it. I remember wrapping a tissue paper around it once....
