the rosey brush set

There are two other brush set.  The Dainty Brush Set (in purple) and Classy Brush Set (in blue).  Each brush set costs P1000 but for the next batch, these sets will cost at P1,200.

I chose the Rosey set because of these two:

two blending brushes





The Rosey Set comes with 2 blending brushes.  I am a sucker for blending brush and i prefered it than the eyeshader brush.

I love the brushes because it didn't bleed after washing it for the first time.  The brushes are all soft and have no funny smell.  As usual, transaction was smooth ÜÜÜ after paying, the following day, my brush set has arrived.  Ms. Rosenn has always maintained that (basing on my previous experiences) so kodus to her.

All in all, Beauty Cosmetics brushes are worth your money.....but hey, they aren't that expensive too.  So, go and get yourself one of their brushes.  I just have one wish from them, i hope they would open a Paypal account hehehe!!!

Thanks again Ms. Rosenn.  Will be buying more soon ÜÜÜ


ÜÜÜ stay happy everyone ÜÜÜ

8. Duo Brow Gel (clear/tinted): this lightweight gel keeps brows in place all day.  Use the clear gel for the most natural look or the tinted gel to provide added color and intensity.


9. Dual-Ended Brow Brush (E80 wand/E75 angled brush): use the wand (E80) to brush through brows to target any misplaced hairs; use the angled brush (E75) to apply brow powder to any sparse areas that need filling in.

what's in my make up pouch

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share to you a few of my "goodies" which I bring everyday of my life.  It's also one of the things that I cannot go out without it Ű my makeup pouch ŰŰŰ





This is actually a pencil case which I bought in SM department store.  I like it because it's a see-thru pouch and it isn't bulky in my bag.  Here are what's inside of it

 It's just basic stuff ŰŰŰ

 That's my powder, brush and a paper soap, incase I ran out of wet wipes or alcogel ŰŰŰ
 That's my mascara from Avon, lip liner and an eyeliner for highlighting the inner corners or lower waterline of my eyes
 A lipgloss and a lipstick
 an oil control film (my everyday lifesaver) & nailcutter

 My blusher/highlighter, tweezer and lash curler











This is the powder that I use.  It's Avon's Smooth Mineral Powder Foundation.  I've been using it for quite a while and it's really "friendly" to my oily and acne-prone skin ŰŰŰ





I used it together with my flat top retractable kabuki brush from charm (which I blogged here).  I will soon be making a review a on this powder too since (as what I've said) I have been using it for quite a while.  So I think it'll be legit to make one ŰŰŰ

These are my favorite lip product that I combine.  It makes a natural-but-not-dull effect on my lips ŰŰŰ






First, I line my lips using Nichido's Lip Liner in Rosette



Then I dab unto my lips Ever Bilena's Lipstick in Mauvey









Then I put on Nyx's lip gloss

and then I'm done with my lips ŰŰŰ











  For now, this is my favorite blusher.  It's from James Cooper's Jazzy Collection.  It's a liquid blusher.  It gives a natural pink glow unto your cheeks.  A little pump and it goes a long way  ŰŰŰ













So there goes my beauty bag! Thanks for dropping by!



ŰŰŰ stay happy every ŰŰŰ

sharing: my beauty corner

last night, while i was reading some blogs, there's this two that caught my attention and gave me an idea to do the same too.....these bloggers were featuring their cosmetic drawer/closet and some collections.  so, with a light bulb up in my head, i thought why not feature my beauty cosmetics too ÜÜÜ i am in no way showing off or bragging my things coz they're actually not something to brag about comparing to those lovely collections that i've seen on youtube and other blog sites.....i'm just sharing my humble collections which maybe might help people in starting their own too ÜÜÜ


so here's my humble vanity nook:

BEHOLD! MY 16 y.o. dresser ÜÜÜ


some random stuff that i use everyday



















 a few nail polish collection and an everyday must use (deo and lotion) ÜÜÜ







here are a few of my e/s shadow brushes which i still place in their plastic pack coz i think it's quite unsanitary to just leave them uncovered since i don't use them all together a day......the brush holder is actually a pen holder which i bought in a japanese store














here are the makeups that i use for special occasions and below are the brush sets that i randomly bought online


here are the makeups that i use every single day



















♪♫♪ these are a few of my favorite things ♪♫♪






i just love brushes!!!! it's like they're my stress-buster....weird huh?? even by just looking at picture of brushes sold online, they make me feel happy ÜÜÜ most brushes......or maybe all of it were bought online.  the sets with pink brush rolls are from Beauty Cosmetics (left) and Dollface (right).  the ones on the jar are from Sigma.  below the jar is from CoastalScents and the pink brushes on a black pouch is from Beauty Cosmetics which i blogged a few months back.  Inside the container are some random face brush from bh cosmetics, coastal scents, mac, beauty cosmetics....so yeah! there they are ÜÜÜ

 i'd like to share to my 16y.o. jewelry box....it was a graduation (high school) from my tita....and i love how it didn't fade even how old it's been with me.


so, there it is....again, this is not showing off my cosmetics and the likes but merely sharing to you my humble collections ÜÜÜ


ÜÜÜ stay happy everyone ÜÜÜ

Charm Retractable Flat Top Brush

hi everyone!!!  i am back again after being absent for like forever ÜÜÜ  been very busy lately since my little kiddo is in her elementary level and she was accelerated one level up because of the K+12 scheme..........adjustments are being made (whew!)

so anyways, i would like to share to you what i have recently bought online.  i was really happy to have "discovered" this by just browsing.  i actually promised myself to refrain from buying makeup brushes since i have quite a lot (a lot to me because i am just a make up lover and not guru or even an amateur one ÜÜÜ).  so, while i was browsing, i came across Beauty & Minerals website.  i saw that charm have new brushes in store....and wow!!! (with eyes wide open) i was glad to see they have a retractable flat top brush!!!  it was so pretty...it reminded me right away of Sigma's Hollywood Glamour Kabuki - Miss Taylor.  so, i placed an order right away, which really made me even more happy because i just know now that multiply accepts payment thru paypal.  it gives me less hassle to go to banks or any remittance center.

i got my package after two days and boy was i soooo excited!!! ÜÜÜ i wasn't able to take pictures after i unpacked it coz i immediately washed it so i could use it right away ÜÜÜ so here it is:


 


i'm sorry i wasn't able to take a picture of the pink box....but yeah, it was placed in a pink box.  when i opened it, there were a few (2 or 3) hairs that fell off.  after it got dried, i noticed that there were hairs that "came out" from the bunch but no fret because it stayed intact.  the brush is really soft but is also dense.  it isn't scratchy on my (very oily and acne-prone) skin.  it's very handy....and i love the color - fuschia pink  and also, there was no strange smell (before and after) i washed the brush coz i have experienced buying a set of brush which had one brush that had a really bad, bad, bad smell (even after washing). oh by the way, the brush costs Php600 ÜÜÜ all in all, i super love it!!!

thank you sophie for creating this really nice and inexpensive brush Ü

ÜÜÜ stay happy everyone ÜÜÜ
