Hey There!

Hey Guys!  I haven't done any posts here for almost a year now.  So much things happened to me in the past year and I can't even imagine how I went through all of those experiences.  Some experiences are quite bad and emotionally challenging, but, most of the time, days went by that are good and things are looking up for me.

I'm not sure why I felt the urge to visit my blog again.  Maybe it's because I'm looking for something else to do while waiting for my download to finish.  Haha!  But hey, I've discovered a lot of things in this past year that I feel like sharing again to the whole wide world (well to anyone who might stumble upon this blog, and for that I thank you for reading and going through my posts).  It's been years since I first started writing as a product of boredom, and also because I wanted something to look back to when I'm older.  Well yes, I'm older now, four years older since I started this blog.  How time flies.

Looking back at my old posts, some make me go ewwww as to why I posted those (omg those old OOTDs!  waaah! ewww to the highest level! hahaha!).  For now, I'm not really sure if I'll be able to sustain this blog again, or if I would like to focus on a specific topic to write about.  Let's just see what the next days would bring.  Tata for now!

Gotta Love: Happy Skin Makeup Remover

Hello Guys!  OMG, I missed blogging so much!  I've recently found inspiration to write again and hopefully this would continue.  I can't believe it's almost been a year since my last post.  

Anyway, enough intro and more chitchat.  As my family and friends know, I super love Happy Skin Cosmetics.  I go gaga over their products and I make sure I always keep up to date with the different products that they launch.  I'm also guilty of entering their online contests.  Hahaha!

The product that I am going to review today is Happy Skin's Make a Clean Sweep Revitalizing Micellar Make Up Cleanser (whew, that's a long name).  Honestly, I couldn't care less about make up removers before.  I just use a baby wipe or go straight in the shower to wash my face.  I initially bought this product because of the brand.  Little did I know that this will change my cleansing routine for the better.  

First thing I liked about this product is it's water based.  It does not feel sticky after use.  And since it's soap-free, I don't have to rinse it immediately.  The next thing I like about it is that it comes with a pump that dispenses the liquid in foam form.  It easily controls the amount of product and I'll tell ya, a little goes a long way.  I only needed about 4-5 pumps to soak the cotton pad and remove all of my make up.  I've bought this bottle around August last year and I still have about 1/4 left. 

Using make up cleanser helped make my skin look a whole lot better.  I think that because of this extra step, I have fewer and smaller breakouts as compared to before.  I super recommend this especially for girls who wear makeup everyday.  I'll definitely gonna purchase this product again!

More on my night time routine in my next posts!  See yah!

Gotta Love: Happy Skin Cosmetics Lippies

I'm sure a lot of make up fans in the country already heard about Happy Skin Cosmetics.  It is the brain child of Jacqe Yuengtian-Gutierrez and Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, both known in their own industries.  Who wouldn't trust these two when it comes to beauty, right?  

I decided to check them out and they already have a website up.  Based on the info, this is a beauty product that also cares for your skin.  That got me because I easily break out when using a new product.  I was sold and bought some lippies, foundation, and concealer.

I instantly fell in love with their lippies!  I love how they easily glide on your lips, maybe due to the Shea Butter, and is heavily pigmented.  A little goes a long way.  It also lasts the whole day so you just need few touch ups.  Because it is like a jumbo crayon, application is a breeze.  And oh, I forgot to mention the line is called Shut Up and Kiss Me.  That would definitely get your attention.

I already have three colors.  The other shades are too light for my preference.  These have been my go to lipsticks almost everyday and I'm excited to share with you the photos.

PS: Super gasgas na yung top kakagamit ko.  Hehehe.

This red one is called My First Time.  What I love about this shade is that it is just the right amount of red to be worn everyday.  Not to dark and not to bright either.  

Again, I'm not a fan of light colored lipsticks so I got Girls Night Out.  It's a lovely shade of plum.  And true to it's name, it's perfect for party time with the girls as it gives your lips a bit of omph and vamp.  I usually use it when I want to feel extra glamorous or just want to pump up my outfit.

Valentine Kiss is the newest one.  It is a limited-edition shade, which was a collaboration with Kris Aquino, inspired by her favorite pink color.  I was actually surprised I liked this pink shade.  It's so girly and sweet!  Perfect when wearing pretty doll dresses.

So there you have it!  A local brand that I think will fill up my make up drawer.  Can't wait for their summer collection which launched today!!!  OMG!!! Payday, come earlier please.

Happy Skin Cosmetics is available at Plains and Prints boutiques, Rustan's, and Beauty Bar (also at Beauty Bar online).
