Collaboration review

Everybody knows my Instagram beauty account. Hopefully. And I met this iger her user name is jamlena. We talked about doing a collaboration. We were to pick 3 of our favorite items and we review it. She'll review what I picked and I'll review hers. 

So she picked a foundation from Clinique, revlon sweet tart lip butter, Mac cranberry, and a mascara from maybeline. Unfortunately, I am allergic to clinique foundations. Last time I bought it and tried it, I had a nasty reaction to it and it's not even a breakout. It looks like I have hives. Lol. 

The second item was revlon lip butter in sweet tarte, and I love this lippy. They are seriously my favorite that I had to buy the whole collection. Well, some of it were swiped by my sister already. These lippies are like what they're called very buttery, and moisturizing, for me atleast. This particular color is very ice. Not my favorite but I still like it. Here's the lippy and the swatch. 



The third choice was Mac cranberry. Well, I don't have this color coz I'm not really a fan of dark plummy red color. But as a blogger, I did my research. Although I didn't buy it one, because there's no Mac where I live and second because I don't want to order it online just to buy one eyeshadow. But I looked at the swatch online and found a swatched at another bloggers blog named temptalia (you guys should really check out her blog) and she have a swatch and a dupe to go with it. 


This is her swatches and dupes. So you guys who's thinking of buying this eyeshadow can have other choices. 

So this is the end of this topic. I hope you guys liked it. Til the next blog.xoxo

Bobbi brown shimmer bricks

This makeup brand was introduced to me by a friend when we were working as a flight attendant in Bahrain. She was using the gel liner and during that time I wasn't really into makeup. But when I saw her using this I was like, hey that looks really good. She tried it on me and I immediately fell in love with the product. So when I got my first paycheck I went straight to the mall and bought the gel liner. 

Now I'm still a fan of  Bobbi brown. And lately I've been into her shimmerbricks. These are awesome products you can use as a highlight or a blush. I have collected five of these slowly. They are $44 each which I think is worth the price. The packaging is black and very elegant. Ever since Bobbi came out with the shimmer bricks, a lot of brands high end or drug store made one too but I think nothing will compare with the quality of pigmentation, texture and color of Bobbi browns shimmer brick. 

Here's my collection and swatches. See you guys on my next blog. Xoxo.

Clinique cheek pop blushes.

Ok so I know, this post is so late already. Like I said I just had a baby and I don't have time to blog because I was so busy doing DIYs for little bear. 

Anyway, this past few weeks I have been loving these blushes from Clinique. Everybody was raving about this one, the packaging is cute, the product itself is excellent. So I gave in and ordered it online. I ordered 2 at first the cherry pop and plum pop after I received it and played with it, of course I had to buy the other two.

I am not joking when I say this is by far the best product from Clinique that I've ever tried. Usually their products break me out but this was awesome. Here are the blushes and the swatches. 



They are permanent products of Clinique. If you don't have this, you need to get your hands on this because it's a life changer. They give you this flushed look which is what I like during spring/ summer. It's sheer but buildable. I personally like to build it up and let the color of the blush show since I'm always wearing bronzer. (Pale me) it looks so good and it goes so smooth. 

I highly recommend this stuff. Let's all get popped! Xoxo.
