Product Review: Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation...

Image
Hi, my loves!  How's the weekend?  In a few more hours, it's Monday once again.  It sucksI know, but it's something we have to do to pay the bills! (laughs)  For today I wanna share with you this great product I've been using again lately now that our weather's a lot more confused than usual.  It's usually scorching hot in the morning until noon, but it tends to rain in the later afternoon.  Whenever I use it, I know my skin looks good, aside from being protected from the sun.  And even if it rains, my skin would still look okay and I don't have to worry about my makeup melting away. Shiseido's Sun Protection Liquid foundation is broad-spectrum to protect against the harmful rays of the sun. The just-applied looking matte finish is non-transferring which is resistant against perspiration, water and oil. See how harassed the packaging looks?  It's because I've been using it mostly on beach and out-of-town trips.   ...

How I give life to my (boring) lip colors...

For today, let me share with you this one lip product that I don't think I can live without...for the next few months! I've been using it a lot these days and I always get compliments whenever I am wearing it... Shiseido Maquillage Perfect Gloss RS702 I got this as one of the freebies during the Shiseido Makeup Workshop last year, and haven't been able to use it until early this year when I can't seem to find my Estee Lauder lip glosses anywhere.  You know me, I'm not much of an adventurous type when it comes to lipcolor, and that I only usually alternate between my MAC Peachstock and MAC Please Me. Can be a bit boring I know, but I try to give my lips a bit of Oomph by topping it with a gloss.  I started with MAC Gellee, then Estee Lauder's and now this one from Shiseido. It comes with a spatula-like applicator which helps deposit the color on the lips easily.  The shade in RS702 is a beautiful, light pink with finely-milled s...

It is no surprise that despite the number of makeup brands available in the market today, there are still a lot of women who think that one has to be an expert first to be able to put these makeup into good use.  This can still be true with some brands that tend to intimidate a number of women  (and also men) with their products.  But not with Make Up Factory, a German-based company that caters to professional makeup artists, and yet brings ease of use and application of high-quality and performance makeup to the general population.  According to Diana Afable Lorenzo , Managing Director for MUF, "What sets Make Up Factory apart is their aim to give non-specialists a chance to get the same looks that can be achieved by a professional make-up artist."  The brand has a varying collections for face, eyes and lips and their strict principles of excellence has made Make Up Factory widely popular throughout Europe.
