For someone who doesn't get to sleep for more than 4hrs a day (like me!), having dull skin is a usual thing. But of course, you don't need to suck it up! Here's one product that has been helping me achieve that bright, fresh-looking skin despite the lack of sleep... Tarte Clean Slate Flawless Brightening Primer A waterproof, 12-hour primer helps makeup stay in place longer while brightening skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.    This  hydrating base not only helps keep your makeup in place for up to 12 hours of perfect wear time, it's also a quick fix for tired or sallow skin—just one application gives the appearance of a healthy, youthful complexion. The lightweight texture is ideal for a base under foundation to wake-up your makeup but can also be worn alone as a treatment to counteract dullness. Whichever application you choose, skin is left smooth, feeling hydrated and looking flawless.    It has Vitamins A and E, natural preserv...

I'm a big fan of highlighters, but in my case I use it only on the undereye area.  It's a must-have for me and I also use it on my clients.  I apply it right after I'm done with the eye shadow application, before I do the contouring and other finishing touches.   I've tried several highlighters already: YSL and The Body Shop's (which I reviewed here ) to name a few.  I've also used that of Revlon's, the Age Defying Spa concealer which have been my HG for quite a time.  So when I got this Primer + Highlighter from Revlon, a few months back, I'm just happy because it"s like hitting two birds in one stone. Revlon Photoready Eye Primer + Highlighter  "Smoothes, perfects and brightens eye area by reducing the appearance of fine lines and crease on lids…use anytime, anywhere on face as a brightening 'pick me up'!" Like the other highlighters I've used, this comes in a click-style pen: twist the bottom an...

Yves Rocher Perfect Primer in 02 (Apricot) Fix and Illuminate This primer, infused with rose, preps skin for makeup and helps it last longer, to ensure a flawless complexion all day long . Enriched with musk rose oil, Damask rose extract and Damask rosewater, it instantly fades fine lines and imperfections, such as enlarged pores and signs of fatigue. Skin texture is visibly smoother. Your complexion is beautified, unified and radiant. Its very comfortable, fluid, light and non-oily formula, quickly penetrates and compliments all skin types. There are 3 shades available: 01 Rose, 02 Apricot and 03 Beige.   I got the 02, was supposed to get the Rose but it was OOS. after blending with just the primer on (I didn't bother posting my before pic, I am sure you had enough of my scary, bare face already LOL) What I like: Cute packaging that comes with a pump that you just have to twist to close/open.  The pump work...

Remember last weekend when I went home to visit my family and had a weekend of endless eating (and eating, and more eating)?  Well, aside from that, it was also a time to dig into my mom's makeup bin on the lookout for some good stuff. And as usual, I didn't end up disappointed. Here's a review on one of my "recent haul" from Mom:   Clinique Lid Smoothie Antioxidant 8-hr Eye Colour Creamy, crease-resistant eye colour wears for 8 hours. Instantly cools thanks to a unique applicator. Nourishing ingredients coax fine lid lines into a blanket of smoothness. Antioxidants help protect eye-area skin. Available in 12 colors It comes in an easy to squeeze tube with a stainless steel tip applicator which is cold.  The cooling sensation is actually relaxing, but I still recommend applying this using your fingers or with a brush to ensure even application and so you won't put too much. Cashew Later Though this is supposed to be...

When I was on my way to Dubai, I told myself that I have to make sure that I check out their malls because I was told that they have really enormous malls.  And geesh, it really is true.  Our malls here are no match with the size of their malls there.  A day really isn't enough to check out an entire mall.  But you know me, there's only one section I'd be interested to check out first...can you take a guess? ^_^ The funny thing is, when I should be checking out brands that aren't available locally, I check out those I'm familiar with first.  Well,  my reason is to compare the prices here.  And contrary to what I first thought,  makeup are much expensive there.  But thanks to Mr. X, I was still able to get a "few" stuff. First, let me do a review on my favorite eye primer as of the moment: Benefit Stay Don't Stray   Stay-put Primer for concealers & eyeshadows *This dual-action power primer works 360° degrees aro...
