I Love GIFTS & I Love ELF!

After my post about my E.L.F Haul which you can read here, I am again blogging for one of my favorite make-up brand! I am so happy that they love my post and extend to me their appreciation through their Twitter account (don't forget to follow their Facebook account too).


Free gifts?! Weee! I can't believe it at first! But reality strikes me after they replied to my e-mail. I felt so much joy even with just the message and the e-mail! HAHAHA!


As for the gifts, they gave me a Beauty Book Smokey Eye Edition and Super Glossy Lip Shine! I super love them to bits! Thanks again ELF! I already love you, but because of these babies, I'll forever love you! Weee!





It's so nice that they gave me the Smokey Eye Edition because I already have the Everyday Eye Edition and I am actually planning to buy this set soon. Lucky me! :))



Another is the Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15, which I will surely use everyday because it won't just make my lips kissable, but it will also protect them from the scorching sun! Weee!



Aaaawwww! I feel really special! Just for me! Thanks again E.L.F. Philippines!


Also, I got myself this All Over Cover Stick! Hope this color fits me! :))

An Elf of E.L.F - Make-up Haul

When I was just starting on make-up (that was about December last year), I am on the look for a good brand with good products but won't hurt my wallet that much (as I am unemployed that time, HAHAHA!). In my search, I've been to different department stores and even drug stores. Then I find this small kiosk of E.L.F. that catches my eyes because of their lovely products! In an instant I was able to buy some because I find the products really nice plus the fact that most of them cost only Php 129.00 (isn't that cheap for a very good product?). From then on, I am always in love with E.L.F.( which stands for Eyes, Lips and Face)!

Now, look at my growing collection of E.L.F products! Planning of getting more soon because I still lack some of their good buys! 





Brightening Eye Colors. Among all the products of ELF, I can say that these are my favorite. Well, the picture shows how much I love them for me to get all available color here in the Philippines (how I wish they will release more colors)! I actually got them in different because I want to create an eye make-up that would easily go with what I am wearing. Plus the fact that I love the size of each palette which makes it easy to bring everywhere I want to go! I also love how each one has 4 different colors that can be use as 2-color-combination or a 4-color-combination-smokey-eye effect. This product for me is 10/10!



Beauty-To-Go Palette. This is my 2nd most adored product! I love how this palette is complete with the most essential make-up I need everyday for the eyes, lips, and face! It is very easy to bring everywhere and eats only a little space in my bag. I love that I have it in 2 colors (actually they have a lot and how I wish I can have them all, still drooling over the net each time I open their US website), 1 for daytime good for strolling the mall or by the beach and 1 for nighttime good for partying. And for the rating, again 10/10!



Everyday Eye Palette.One of the very first palette I ever bought for my self, this complete eyeshadow set just blow my heart out after I first tried using. I also love that it has instructions on how to put eye make-up (as I am a newbie), I can say that it is really very helpful. I can't think of anything bad the product have, from the quality of the shadow, to the packaging, and of course the price. For a Php 399.00, 12 lovely colors that I can actually use everyday that is really a bargain. So for me I'll rate this at again 10/10! 



Little Black Beautybook Eyeshadow Edition. My least favorite of them all, just because I hardly use them because all shadows are shimmers which is not my type for eye make-up. Well, my reason for buying this is, before I still don't know anything about make-up and Php 400.00 for 48 colors (about Php 9.00 per color), that's cheap.



Eyelid Primer and Eye Primer & Liner Sealer. They are my everyday eye primer. But depends on my mood which primer will I actually use, because they are both really good. My shadows stay all day and don't crease even after a day of events happened! As to the liner sealer, I don't use it even one because to be honest I don't know its use (poor me, HAHAHA!). Waterproof Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara, again another favorite E.L.F product! I just love it that I use it everyday and my day would be incomplete if I left it at home. Rating for these products, 10/10!



Eyeshadow Brush and Blending Eye Brush. Two of my first ever and most favorite eye brushes! They are the ones that I use when I was just experimenting on eye make-up. I love that the hairs are so soft and can catch good amount of eyeshadow. These would have been 10/10 for me but what I didn't like about them is that the hair does easily fall off when you squeeze them after cleaning. But still a very good brush though, 8/10 for both brushes! 

How about you, which E.L.F. products are you using?!

My Everyday-Must-Have on Makeup

“The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.”  
                                                                                                                          - Yves Saint-Laurent

As an ordinary person in this extraordinary world, confidence is one key to out-stand the other. That everyday could be a runway to show them the great person that I am. But a runway can also be battle field where your weapons are vital. For me, the most vital weapon aside from a good heart is confidence. And as Tyra Banks had once said, I also love the confidence that makeup gives me. So everyday, I made sure I always have my kikay kit with me. 

So here are my "Everyday-Must-Have":


1. Charm Holiday Brush Set
2. Covergirl TRUblend Pressed Powder in Translucent Honey 3
3. E.L.F. Brightening Eye Color in Butternut
4. ChapStick Classic in Strawberry



As to my everyday brush set, I am in-love with Charm Holiday Brush Set. For me, they are the 2nd most lovable brush set (next to Charm Travel Pro) that I've used. I bought this at the last Cosmetologie Fair. There, I met the beautiful Sophie Uy of Beauty and Minerals.



My everyday pressed powder is from Covergirl! This is the first time I actually bought and used a pressed powder. I love how it provides light coverage on my face giving a natural-look I needed everyday.



For my eye make-up, I use E.L.F. Brightening Eye Color in Butternut. This palette is very ideal for day look. It is composed of warm neutral shades perfect for everyday use. You can create simple 2-color combination to 4-color smokey eye. I usually use the number 2 shade over my lids; number 3 over the outer-V; number 4 on the crease; and shade number 1 over the brow bone. 



For my lips, I usually use Chap Stick Classic in Strawberry! I seldom use lipsticks or if I have to I always use this as my base.

How about you, what are your everyday make-up must-have?!
