Review + Swatch: Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick (Rose Lipstick) and Holiday Collection make up palette

A Review on the products I got from AVON last year December 2012.
This post was sitting on my drafts for quite some time already. And here, finally I am posting them on my blog .This is a scheduled post by the way =)

I bought these items at my own expenses solely for review and have not been paid for by AVON.
So, Let's get started! ............

*sorry for the poor image quality. i am using my samsung camera. the old model. I hope to get a much better camera in the future though.. Wink! =)

The packaging:

  What I love about it is that it comes in a dainty and clear cover so you can actually see the colors (eyeshadows and blush inside). It also comes with an applicator and a blusher brush. 

What I don't Like: it has no mirror into it. So you have to use a separate mirror for you to view your eyes/face in every application. It is quite big and bulky to fit in my travel kikay kit. You might need a larger kit to store it. And also, the product can get shattered easily if you drop it so it takes extra care in handling it.

The Swatch:

It is not so clear here in the photo but the colors are really great. Perfect for blending. =) I love it.

Tutorial 001: Simple Smokey Eye Tutorial

Hi there lovelies!

Today, I will be posting my first eye makeup tutorial. =) I am a bit excited and anxious about posting one on my blog but since this is my first try please be good to me. =)

Lately, I have been gaining followers on this simple blog, today I wished to share to you my simple eye makeup look.

I am not really a professional make up artist but, I am inspired to be one and further hone my skills on this field. I am in love with makeup but just sad to say I can only afford the not so expensive products but I also consider quality above all.

February it is -- and a Splash of Colors? Do you Mind?

Hello Everyone!

It is February once again. The month of January has swept through as fast as lightning. Well, almost as though I had't felt time sweeping by I guess that's just how it is being a mom to a very malikot baby boy. But don't get me wrong, I love every single moment of it. Being a mom is the best feeling in the whole world that I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Just recently, I browsed thru multiply and found this online seller which sells different tools for makeup as well as other cosmetics that are quite affordable.

I love eyeshadow palettes and I have seen so much of them on you tube and as much as I want to try out my make up artistry side, I must get my hand on them for once. I would really love to do a makeup tutorial on my blog right here as so my readers can learn as much as I am also learning.


Here are some of the items I got from Chic Cosmetics!

DAY 7 - Fave Eyeshadow Color Palette

Hi how are you doing today?

My question for the challenge is a tough one since I am an eye makeup type of girl.
I love colors especially on the eyes and perhaps for me the eye is the most catching feature a woman has and accentuating it with the perfect shades of shadows would be unkaboggable! (cannot be outwon).

I have tried  various eye shadows as well from cosmetic brands like AVON, Ever Bilena, Colors Cosmetics (Colour Collection from Tupperware Brands) and also some China made products in the market.
