Hello!

For the past years, we've witness the launched of some local brands and made us even proud knowing that they can compete with well-known international brands when it comes to quality but at an affordable cost.

One of those brand is Beach Born. A local brand in the Philippines with a 100% all-natural product, which make it safe for everyone to use. Lip, body and hair care are their main field. I've been hearing a lot of good feedback about them on Instagram and I decided to check it out myself.

Here are the items:

• Sunset Spray: an ultra moisturizing detangler that protects hair from heat and sunlight. I tried this product immediately as I have dry hair and guess what? Fell inlove with it instantly! It eliminates frizz and makes my hair more manageable plus it smells good.

• Piggylash: a cold pressed Castor oil infused with Vitamin E for an added boost. Miss Piggy from Muppets came to mind when I heard of this product and voila, she was the inspiration for this one! Her lashes, to be exact. The consistency is a bit thick but nonetheless, it's effective! In just one week, you'll notice some changes on your lashes.

• Bam Balm: moisturizing balm and lip scrub in one. It has peppermint oil that helps reduce fine lines. It is very lightweight on the lips and believe it or not, on Beach Born's website, they advise that it is an edible lip scrub. Yes, EDIBLE. Shookt?

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!
