Beauty Cream O'Cheal


It's time to show you the new BB cream I'm currently loving, which is, again, a present from my mom hehe. I feel like most of the products I've been trying lately are gifts from her.

It's the Beauty Cream O'Cheal in the shade 02 Natural. I believe they have other 2 shades. I haven't worn BB cream in a long time so it 's been fun and refreshing to go back to it.

I do want to start by talking about the presentation cuz, I love it! It comes in a black box with a flower pattern, same pattern you can find in the case. It looks very cheerful and springy.


Inside the box you can find the square shaped plastic case with the product, along with a mushroom puff in a nice pouch. Love the small details!


The plastic case has a good quality and, even tho it is light, the plastic is thick enough. When you open it, you'll find this type of cushion with the product. You just have to gently pat on it to get the product. First time I used it I did it a little too hard and a lot of product came out so yeah, be gentle.

The application is actually super clean and easy, you can always use the puff it comes with or, your own beauty blender.

Moving on to the actual product, it is a super lightweight BB cream that combines the coverage of a foundation with the lightness of a moisturizer. Even tho it has a medium coverage, it's light enough to build up the coverage without feeling or looking thick. It has an even, long-lasting coverage, leaving your skin with a very natural, healthy and glowy. Plus, it has UV protection.


Before pic shows my washed face and some skincare. I do have some redness, moles and very light freckles.
After applying the BB cream, you can still see my moles but my complexion looks a lot more even. I only applied one layer.

It has a very slight, clean scent to it that disappears after a while and the product doesn't set on fine lines even after hours of wearing it. It also claims to be water and sweat proof.

I haven't been wearing makeup every songle day lately but, I'm pretty happy with it everytime I do. It is a product I defo recommend.

See you next time~! ♡

Kobeleen Powder Blusher Stick

I remember there was a time when I was obsessed with blushes. I had way too many and I couldn't stop buying them. I still love them, I just don't buy as much makeup as I used to.

That's why I was very excited when my mom gave me this one. The Kobeleen Powder Blusher Stick, which is not only super cute, but also has a presentation I haven't seen before. 

These blush sticks come in 4 different shades. The one I have is #02, Peach Milk Fufu, which is this peachy pink kinda shade, really cute!


Peach Milk Fufu


Honestly, I love its presentation, it has the perfect size to carry around without worrying about it breaking in your bag, retouching is easy cuz you don't have any loose powder fying around plus, it's really pretty to look at even tho it's very clean and simple. The color combination add some cuteness to it.


Now, about the actual product; it is a double end blush stick, in one end there's the blush and in the other one there is a soft sponge to apply and blend the product. 
It claims to be waterproof, sweat-proof and last for a long time. I didn't think it'd be as pigmented as it actually is but, pigmentation wise, I'm impressed. Durability is also great.
It has a matte finish and doesn't have any scent to it.


Application is easy too, I just dab it twice and blend with my favorite Sephora blush brush. To me that is enough to get a nice, natural color on my cheeks. But I guess you can apply more if you want a stronger color.



So to wrap it up, I've been loving this product, it's been my everyday blush lately and I'd defo like to try the other 3 shades they have. 💋

Saniye Moist Lip Plump



Last month I receive this gloss as a part of the back to school pressies basket. I love lip products so I was really looking forward to trying it.

This gloss is by Saniye and it claims to make your lips look fuller for hours and give them a healthier look.


It's supposed to have Vitamin E along with advanced plumping ingredients. It's a transparent gloss with a non-sticly formula. It does keep your lips hydrated for a long time.

Almost as soon as you apply the product, you'll start feeling a kind of tingly sensation that might be a little uncomfortable for some. I don't really mind, it goes away after a while. I do have to say, it tastes really bad! It's like a bitter and slightly spicy taste. So, I wouldn't suggest kissing anyone while wearing it, haha.

Since it's transparent, you can apply it along with a lipstick and it still looks nice.

I decided to add 2 before and after pics cuz I was smiling on the first ones I took and I feel the difference doesn't show much.

I wasn't wearing wearing any lipstick but I did notice my lips turned pinkier. I like the color tho, it's like a "my lips but better" kind of thing.


I'd say that the difference is veeeery subtle but I see it. It does make my lips look more hydrated, without any dry lines and a tiny bit fuller, Specially on the upper lip.

I guess it's a fun product to try if you want something that is super subtle and temporary. I haven't really checked how long it lasts tho. 😅

And well, I think that's it for this post. It feels nice to share something makeup related for a change. 

See you next time~! ♡

Lime Crime Prep & Prime Setting Spray

I've been using this product for a couple of years now and for whatever reason I keep forgetting to write about it. It is part of my everyday makeup routine and one of my favorite products. 

It is the Lime Crime Prep & Prime Setting Spray which also works as a setting spray. It is a very lightweight spray with a very subtle sweetish scent to it. It's supposed to work for all skin types and helps with oil control.

You can use it before applying your makeup to prep the skin, or after makeup as a setting spray. I usually just spray it after my makeup and kinda set it with my beauty blender.

The bottle comes with 300ml and lasts for a loooong time. It does help my makeup to look great for a long time, giving my skin a healthy glow without looking shiny. It also minimizes pores.

It originally came in a pink & white box but I got rid of it. The bottle is fun and cute! I really like the aqua color with the pink and gold details.

I'd highly recommend this product if you like a dewy finish, not a matte one. This is not my first bottle and I'll defo buy it again once I run out of it. I've been really loving it since my mom gave it to me a few years ago.

Miniso Color Me Liquid Foundation

 I feel like we haven't had a makeup post in such a long time! 

I recently bought a new foundation from Miniso and thought it'd be the perfect time for a little makeup review kind of thing.

Before this one, I was using the Fit Me matte + poreless foundation from Maybelline, which wasn't a bad product, it had a matte, velvety finish and that is pretty but isn't my favorite. Specially during winter, when my skin gets super dry. It was also light coverage and, right now, my skin needs at least a medium coverage. Wearing a mask has been giving me terrible skin!! 😢 I did finish the product tho. 


sorry it is all gross but, this is the shade I was using.

The one I got and recently started using is the Color Me Liquid Foundation in the color LR2. I believe it is the 2nd lightest one, the lightest was way too light for me. They had 4 different shades.


This foundation is medium coverage and has a creamy yet light texture which blends nicely and evenly. It contains gotu kola, leaf oil and fruit extracts and helps to even your skin tone. I'd say it gives you a dewy look, giving your skin a natural, healthy glow. 


I'm only wearing moisturizer and sunscreen on the first pic. You can defo see a difference on the 2nd one, where I do have some foundation on.

It comes with a dispesenser that makes the application clean and easy. Plus, it's easy to control the amount of product you want to use. 1 pump is enough to cover your face.

It doesn't really have a scent to it, so it'll be great if you are not a fan of scented products.

Durability wise it's pretty good.  It looks nice throughout the day. I actually apply it with my fingers to warm up the product a little bit and then pat it with my beauty blender after spraying some makeup setting spray. Idk if it makes any difference or not but, it works for me. 

All in all I think it's a good product for an affordable price. The only down side to it is that Miniso tends to stop restocking some products after some time.

See you next time~ ♡

💋 Unicorn Glow Creamy Velvet Lip | Review & Swatches |

 


I recieved this lippie back in December as a gift from my bestie, Ceci and I've been wearing it often since that day. By often I mean, whenever I know I won't be wearing a mask all day long. It is from Unicorn Glow and, even tho I've seen their products, it is my first time trying them.

Unicorn Glow is a cruelty free makeup brand made in Korea and designed in New York. Checking their instagram, I found many cute and colorful products. I liked their whole "Discover your Inner Unicorn" concept. You can find their products at WalMart and Amazon.

The Creamy Velvet Lip  I recieved is in the color "01 Matte Caramel" and its a soft but beautiful peachy, nude shade, which were my favorites for a long, long time before the pandemic.

The presentation of this product is simple yet cute with the lip color on the bottle and cute silver iridescent stars on the white lid. 


 The applicator's shape makes it easy to apply the product, it kinda reminds me of the  Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in a shorter version. They both have the small loop in the middle.


Like I said, more than a caramel, it is like a peachy color that actually smells like peach! It's just so good!! It applies smoothly and the layers are thin enough to build up the color to your liking cuz even tho it is pigmented, it doesn't apply evenly. It dries kinda fast without feeling sticky or patchy and it gives your lips a soft, velvety finish.




Now I'm curious to try more products from this brand. I'm not sure what the price range is because I didn't buy this one myself but I'll defo check next time I go to walmart. I miss buying makeup!! 😭

Have you tried products from Unicorn Glow?? Let me know! 🦄

OOTD: Romantic Spring + Makeup & Accessories.


A year has passed since my last OOTD posts and, there's still a pandemic out there!! Luckily, things seem to be slowly getting better here. That's why my friends and I decided to get together for lunch and, it was my chance to dress up and wear something nice, other than my usual, boring teacher outfits.

I loved this dress so much that I wanted to share it here, along with the makeup products and accessories I wore.

♡ Makeup:

My makeup was on the natural side, I haven't been wearing lipstick lately because of the mask. I try to keep my lips moisturized applying lip balm instead. I like this particular one from DHC because it gives you a glossy finish without feeling sticky.

On the eyes I used a light gold and a little pink to match the dress and the gold highliter on the cheeks.

Products used for this look:
Salem Makeup "Ouija Evil Cat" Eyeshadow Palette
♥ MAC Studio Match Master Foundation
♥ Mary Kay Volumizing Brow Tint "Brunette"
♥ Bissú Eyebrow Pencil "Lechero"
♥ Olé Power Brown MAtte Eyeliner
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Bronzer
KissMe Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara
DHC Lip Cream Conditioning Lip Balm

♡ Outfit:

I fell in love with this dress from Vertiche, it is so girly and cute. Perfect for Spring! The lenght is pretty comfortable and it really looks a lot more expensive than what it actually was. It came with a belt made with the same fabric as the dress that wraps around the waist, giving you a nice shape. Also loooove the puffy sleeves! They are so princessy!

The neckline has a slight body shape. They had the same dress in a more blue version. Really pretty too! I just had to go for the one with pink on it, hehe.  

Awkward posing but I wanted to show you how the dress looks from the back.

I paired it with blue block heel strap sandals. I've has them for a few years now and they are super duper comfy to walk around. (Toe nails could use a touch up /oops!/ but, I'm wearing the "Not turning back from pink street" nail polish from O.P.I.) 

♡ Accessories:

I kept it simple, just a pair of earrings and my Nine West watch.


This earrings were a gift from my mom a couple of years ago, they are from Todo Moda.


And lastly, the perfume~
Perry Ellis 360° Coral

And that was my outfit of the day. I wish I could share more outfit posts but sometimes I find it hard to take the pics (as you can probably tell...) but, let me know if you'd like to see more posts like this in the future.

Until next time~!!
