Hello, January 2017!

Let us all welcome this year with laughter, love, blessings and never-ending happiness. Leave all your sorrows behind and step forward as this year may be the start of your new chapter! Always keep in mind that this is your year! 

Moving forward, make sure you knock all your photos with a game face on and sun-kissed glow with this bronzer duo!

I worked five days a week and travel everyday. Aside from my brows, I can't leave the house without bronzer and blush. It is a must for me. 

My current favorite? This baby right here. 

This one is from Glamourbox which brought a huge smile on my face on the first time I saw it. Never thought this is way bigger than my hands! I was expecting a simple round bronzer and blush duo but then... surprise! 

Aside from this being huge, the product itself is great!

The bronzer is very pigmented though a bit chalky. The shade is perfect for medium to dark skin tone like me. Though, it tends to overpower the blush so keep in mind that less powder, less mistake. 

For the blush, it adds the slightest color on your cheeks. It might take a while for you to achieve the color you want especially in my case and we can live with that. Be reminded that patience is a virtue. 

The packaging is simple with a touch of floral. Obviously, it's not travel friendly. It will take too much of space on your baggage. But take a look at that lovely carving and huge mirror!

Sometimes it makes me chant, "mirror, mirror on the wall, whose the prettiest of them all?"

Pop Beauty Double Duty Bronzer orginally cost P1,299.00. 

If my memory serves me right, I got this 50% off from Glamourbox! Check their site for further discounts!

Any thoughts for this bronzer and blush duo?

Let's start this month by doing a review of this blush/cheek color that I got from Ever Bilena. 

A few years back, my Mom had a blush stick from EB. It's powder in a transparent stick-like container that has a brush at the end (best way I can describe it) and I like the formula because it is super pigmented plus they have beautiful colors. Though, bad thing about is that my face gets itchy once applied so I stopped using the product. When I had a chat with the saleslady at EB, she told me that the cheek color has been reformulated. And here I am, giving their blush/cheek color another chance. 

Ever Bilena is one of the successful local brands in the country that has good quality and affordable products. I've noticed as well that most of their products right now are formulated to suit Filipino skin. 

A brown hue blush that has matte finish. It looks natural on my skin since I'm morena. Be careful in applying, it is very pigmented and you might go overboard. 'Di bale ng kulang kaysa sobra. 

I'm a sucker for cute, compact and lightweight items. Though, it's not sturdy. (Try tapping the cover and you'll get what I mean) It is a transparent plastic container with mirror and brush. 

This is long-lasting blush, I had it on my face a day after I bought it. It was scorching hot that day and the rest of my makeup wears off but I still have natural blush on my face. Can you imagine how good is that? 

It has no tingling effect on my face. I told you, their blush makes my face itchy but still, need to be wary of this product. 

This is how it looks with a flash:

It comes in 6 shades and available nationwide. If I got right, it was released last January 2016. For P175.00 only, you can have this blush. So visit the nearest department in your place!
