Review: Sleek Makeup Pomegranate Blush

hey ladies! today i wanna continue sharing about the things i got from my 2nd Luxola haul - my first Sleek blush in Pomegranate.

pictures and swatches!


sleek and elegant packaging - you wouldn't even think this is a drugstore brand!



swatches applied with moderate hand twice, under different lighting


healthy, natural flush don't you think?


just pretty!

here are some looks i did using this blush
(pardon in advance as i only had my iPhone available taking shots of my looks!)



as you can see, it's not as deep as you can see in the pan. this is achieved thru applying with a light hand. you can opt to layer more if you deem that the color does not pop as much as you'd like.

my 2 cents:
- the product is generous for it's price! 8gms for S$14? value for money indeed!
- pretty hue, very natural looking when applied moderately. can be dramatic if applied with another layer (more would make you look like a clown already!)
- shimmer was subtle, it gave a beautiful flush of color and glow without making my cheeks look shiny (i've oily skin)
- very pigmented! will last a long long time even with daily use.
- initial opening of the product was a hassle! i actually thought it would never open! i broke a nail while opening it. (T_T) but when i saw what's inside it's like i didn't inconvenience myself at all hehe.
- can only be brought online. i bought mine from a Singapore-based online shopping site, Luxola.com. AFAIK, other countries can only order directly from their US website.

i'm actually inclined to buy more hues from Sleek blush line!

do you own a Sleek blush? how are you liking or hating it?

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us

Terrific hairday at Affascinante Salon

I recently went back to Manila for vacation since my kids had a one week school holiday and I had to see my Uro for my followup checkup (have you heard, am stone-free already - thank GOD!!!). One of the plans that materialized during that trip is having my daughter's hair rebonded - for the first time - and getting my hair colored since my regrow is showing already. I went straight to my trusted stylist, Wheng of Affascinante Salon. My daughter before rebonding: My daughter after rebonding: Huge difference right? My daughter can't hide her excitement. She now appreciates beauty a li'l more - she hates putting on makeup because it takes a lot effort she says. Ah, we're total opposites hehe. Of course, it's the mother's turn next! I didn't have a before picture though I took after shots in different lighting. Btw, i asked Wheng to color my hair reddish brown. Also, in case you're wondering she used Framesi coloring products. With flash: W
