UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (THIS IS BEAUTIFUL)
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (THIS IS BEAUTIFUL)
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: LAURA MERCIER SECRET CONCEALER (3)
Here's an initial review on LAURA MERCIER SECRET CONCEALER IN 3
PRICE: 995PHP
PLACE BOUGHT: RUSTAN'S, MAKATI CITY
OTHER LOCATION: ALABANG TOWN CENTER; SHANGRI- LA MALL, ORTIGAS
THE VERDICT:
Some blogs claim that Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer is one of her must- haves in the brand line. People love it's consistency, concealing power and durability.
I'm such a sucker for reviews so you could say that it's what made me purchase the concealer.
Let''s go to the packaging. It's in a small pot in the classic glossy chocolate- brown colored packaging. It's pretty compact and lightweight. I give it 8 stars. Why? I really don't like covers that are completely detached from the jars because I have this curse of losing the covers. So imagine, if I lose the cover, this concealer will be definitely transferred. And I don't like that to happen.
So here's the concealer. It's in the shade 3, the darkest among the 3 shades. I don't like that the concealer range doesn't have that much shades to choose from. 1 is a pale white- yellow shade, 2 is a beige- yellow shade while 3 is a medium beige- yellow shade.
Here's my right eye without the concealer. look at those undereye circles. NASTY.
Here's my eye with the Laura Mercier concealer.
Let's go to the consistency. It's probably the creamiest concealers I've come across. It blends like a dream so you don't have to worry about tugging our sensitive undereye area during application. Layer it for as many times as you like and it just blends greatly.
Here are my undereyes with the LM Secret Concealer.
Let's go to the coverage. It's pretty impressive. Though I think this wouldn't work well because I think I need more yellow toned concealers, it just did a decent job in concealing my undereye circles.
Staying power is kinda' impressive. Why did say kinda'? I've noticed that during the day, it did not crease, which is a good thing. But I noticed that at the middle of the day, it's like I can see my dark circles (not too much, they're still a bit concealed). I don't know if the foundation has something to do with it or it's just that I should've gotten 2, which is the lighter shade. At first, the coverage seemed okay but at the middle of the day, I can see my dark circles. But don't worry. It's not as if I didn't put any concealer on. It's just that it did fade a bit during the day.
Will I buy this again? Probably not. There are not much shades to choose from. And I think the shade is too pink for me, since I have a stronger yellow undertone, though I have some pink tones on me. MAC is still my HG concealer. This concealer should be great, but it's just that I'm too dark for it, or it's not my match at all.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: MAKE UP FOR EVER EYESHADOW (92 PURPLE)
Here's an initial review on MAKE UP FOR EVER EYESHADOW (92 PURPLE)
PRICE: $19
PLACE BOUGHT: SEPHORA ONLINE
OTHER LOCATIONS: THE FORT BONIFACIO HIGH STREET; SHANGRI- LA MALL, ORTIGAS
THE VERDICT:
Finally, I have this elusive MUFE Eyeshadow #92 Purple. I was so sure that this will be my HG violet eyeshadow since I've read so many good reviews about it and saw on the net the gorgeous swatches.
MUFE's eyeshadows are uber pigmented. One swipe is enough to cover the lid area, so this pan will last me pretty long. The pan's bigger than MAC's, which goes to show that you'll get your money's worth.
It has a very impressive staying power. The swatch on my hand was only removed by soap and water. No amount of good rubbing can take this off!
It's such a versatile color. Wear it alone or with a black eyeshadow to intensify the look. Pair it with darker greens for a stunning color combination. Or simply, apply a sheer amount for a wash of purple on your lids.
I will definitely repurchase this violet eyeshadow. But I'm pretty sure this will last me for years. :)

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: MAC BRONZER IN SOLAR RICHE (SOLAR FIELD COLLECTION)
Here's an initial review on MAC BRONZER IN SOLAR RICHE FROM THE SOLAR FIELD COLLECTION
PRICE: $14
PLACE BOUGHT: WOODBERRY COMMON, CCO, NEW YORK
OTHER LOCATIONS: CCOs; MAC STORES ABROAD
Here's the final item from hubby's US trip pasalubong. It's one of his first- bought pasalubongs for me when he set foot in the States.
The packaging is very cute! I love the neon orange color which makes this a stand- out in my stash.
I had this before then I decided to sell it because I wasn't using it that much. Then I started missing it so I am very glad that hubby got me my Solar Riche again. :)
Solar Riche is a camel brown with an range undertone with hints of gold shimmer.
When applied lightly, this goes on sheer, providing a natural contour to the face and cheeks. It's also buildable. I use this in lieu of my MAC MSF in Deep Dark.
I love the fact that I finally have my Solar Field Collection item again. Thanks to hubby. :)
This pan will last me long since I only use it for contouring my face during theatre performances. But I'll try using this on a daily basis to check if this'll work as a good blush in lieu of my Nars powder blush in madly. :)
LOVE YOU HUBBY! :)
