Quick FX CC Cream Review

I received this product from Quick FX a few months ago and have been trying to decide what my final verdict for this product was and now that I finally know, I'll be sharing it to you guys. 

Price:

PHP 89 at any Watsons or SM Department Store at their beauty section.

What do I think about it?

So, from the packaging, it claims to color correct which can conceal, hydrate and protect and give a healthy glow on the skin on one application. Their directions for use is on the back and it says: Apply in circular motion blending evenly into skin. Layer for buildable coverage. Wear underneath foundation to minimize the appearance of imperfections, even out skintone, and provide natural luminosity to dull skin. 

Okay, so for me, I tried this as an actual CC cream and just used it on my face for a whole day and I'm not so sure about that because it totally did not last on my skin and made me look greasy. The next day, I tried this the same way, applying it all over my face and then putting a foundation on top. It made me look way cakey and very unnatural. I was starting to dislike it from this part on but then I tried to read the actual product and all I could see was "color correct" (you know the saying, sometimes a pencil is just a pencil, don't overthink it). Then, I used this just on my red or dark spots and blemishes that are way too noticeable, blended it in and then put a foundation above it. With this method, it worked perfectly for me and a plus because the red spots that I had before applying this now gives me a nice healthy glow which is an illusion and I didn't expect from this product.

Do note that this is not a concealer at all but just a color corrector. 

Is it worth the money?

After figuring out what it was meant for is the reason that I think it is definitely worth the money because it's pretty cheap and comes with a resealable pack. You honestly don't have to use much of this product everytime. Just a dot per spot you wanna color correct is enough. This CC cream also has just one shade which is nothing to worry about because it does adapt to every skin type. I used this on my friend and my mom who had different skin tones than I do and it worked amazing for them too.

Daiso Makeup Brush Cleaner Review

If you've seen my previous Youtube video, you'd know how much I've been talking about these babies and yet, I just can't get enough about it! Wanna know why? Then keep on reading...

Price:
PHP 88 at Daiso in Robinson's Galleria.

What do I think of this product?

I can't help it but what I first saw is that Daiso is from Japan although this one is made in Korea. I don't know why people keep saying that this has no scent but for me it smells abit citrusy which isn't bad at all (at least for me). It has some insights + instructions on the back of the product which is very helpful especially for beginners who don't know how to use one of these but here is an example of how I clean mine. (Note: This isn't my complete routine but just showing you guys how I use this product):

1. Put a good amount of Daiso Makeup Brush Cleaner in a container.
2. Put a little bit of water.
3. Dip and swirl your brush around until the liquid changes color.
4. Rinse with a brush egg or however you wish.

Is the money worth it?

I'm happy to say that it is. It's surprisingly cheap but does it's job well. I honestly didn't expect anything good from this product but boy was I wrong. The only con I would say about this is it's very hard to get one. Not all Daiso branches sell these and it did took me a few weeks to be able to find one and to see that they only have a few pieces on stock (not even 10 pieces). It's really good for my brushes because it doesn't ruin it although I don't own any animal hair brush to test it out (but caution: I did hear that this product does not do well with animal hair brushes). 

Hope that you found this review useful and if you got any more questions, suggestions, request, don't hesitate to leave a comment down below and I'll reply as soon as I can.

lol (Lots Of Love) Cosmetics Bronzing Powder Review

To be honest, I haven't heard about this brand too much and when I saw their makeup stall at SM Department store, I noticed that all of their prices are pretty cheap so I picked one up which is this bronzing powder. I love contouring my face using a bronzer for an everyday look so let's see how I like this.

Price: 

P139 ($2.96 USD) at any SM Department store or Watsons

What do I think of this product?

I am still in a current love-hate relationship with this bronzer because it is so subtle that I really do need to build it up to see decent results. Although, for how oily my face is, I'm surprised that this lasted me about 4-5 hours during a hot weather for how cheap it is. I didn't experience any breakouts and the product is easily blendable. I'm not sure if this will be a problem or not, but they only have 2 colors for this bronzer and what I have is the matte bronzer in the shade 02 Brown Sugar and the other one is a shimmery bronzer which I am guessing is the 01.

Applied it below my cheekbones and a little on the sides of my forehead.

Is It worth the money?

I am positively sure that it is, I think that I made a lucky 1st purchase for this brand or this brand really is great, I would really be trying out more of their products since I think that it is promising. I highly recommend this for anyone who is just starting to use makeup and looking for cheap products to buy and use.

I hope that this has helped you if you are looking into getting this product and comment down below if you have any more questions or suggestions on what product you think I'll like. I'll try to reply to them as soon as I see them.

Mini Haul [Drugstore & Etude House]

Today me and my brother had an unexpected errand and after we were done with that, we thought why not go to the mall since we are already going that way anyway. So we went to SM Masinag and just walked around and kinda picked up some things we need. 

At the Department Store:

So SM is having a Mid Year Clearance Sale so most of the good stuff are all sold out. Kinda broke my heart to know that I wasn't able to grab a Revlon 24 hour Color Stay Foundation that was on sale so I just got my BYS Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in the color 31 Sky Blue. (P169 or $3.75) I picked up this color because I've been looking for something that would be kind of the same with Hanna Marin's eye make up (on the show Pretty Little Liars). I seem to notice that her eye liner came abit blue rather than black at some parts and decided I wanna try out that look, so I got this and hopefully it'll be an awesome product. Review about this product shall be made soon!

Etude House:

Ofcourse whether I deny it or not, it is pretty obvious that I love this store so much. I repurchased my Color My Brows (Eyebrow Gel) in the color #2 (P378 or $8.39) because I always use this on the go and it lasts me all day. Have been repurchasing this countless of times already and I should probably try out other eyebrow gel brands which I will pretty soon, but for now I just always tend to reach for this product whenever I do my brows so yeap an all time favorite for me.

Another one is a manicure, #25 from the Play collection. (P128 or $2.84) I raved so much about my #42 on (It was on my May Monthly Favorites HERE) and I hope that this will do me wonders too. It did kinda remind me of my Stila Liquid Lipstick in Patina since it is almost the same shade, Muave pink color, really beautiful.

I was tempted to buy some more stock for my Tea tree face mask (P58 or $1.29) that I've always been using a lot but I decided to just finish up what I currently have for now so as I was paying for my items, the lady said that I have a free mask and then I saw it was the Tea Tree Mask. I felt like I jumped from the inside because it was such a nice coincidence. I made a review about this product HERE.

Another Free product:

This was from a magazine that I bought for my brother and it is the Syoss Moisture Intensive Care Shampoo and Conditioner, 2 pieces of 10 ml each. I always walk past this product whenever I shop for a new shampoo because I haven't really seen that much reviews about it. But now, since I got these babies, I might as well try it and who knows they might end up to be a holy grail product.

So those are the products that I got today and it was actually very budget friendly compared to my past craziness at the mall, I'm a shopaholic, I'm not gonna lie. I'm really excited to try most of them out and maybe be added to my list on "must repurchase when it's all out". Hit the comment section below if any of you guys have already tried these products and did it work great or not for you and also if you got any recommendations for products that are much better or worth to try, I love it when you guys do that!

Thanks for reading! Until the next blog.
