Okay, my bad. I thought I have already posted this but apparently I haven't. I took a photo of the NYX products that I got from Digital Traincase from the Philippine Cosmetic Expo. It was my first time to buy the famous NYX round lipsticks and I was also given a freebie that day. :)

 NYX Round Lipsticks and Ultra Pearl Mania

I definitely went to the event to buy new lipsticks. That's my current "thing" or obsession nowadays. And when I see the loads and loads of lipsticks from Sol's booth, it's like they were calling my name.

 Rose, Tea Rose, Eros, Nude Pearl

I ended up getting three round lipsticks at P150.00 each.

 Rose, Tea Rose, Eros, Nude Pearl


I will be posting swatches of them separately and will be using them in my FOTDs as well.

 Rose
(I have already made a vlog about this.
Blog post coming soon.)

 Tea Rose
(Swatches and more details here:
http://yellowyum.blogspot.com/2011/10/nyx-round-lipstick-in-tea-rose-swatch.html)

 Eros
I haven't used this yet. But I love the color!


I also received a freebie. Yey! I got the NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in Nude Pearl. It's a champagne pigment which I think would look really nice on the inner tearducts or on top of an eyeshadow.


I have already used this and popped it on top of my eyeshadow. It looked really nice and it gave my dull (I didn't like the color of my eyeshadow that much) eyeshadow some life and vibrancy.


So that's about it. Please stay tuned for more swatches of these products. :)
I'm kinda sad that I still haven't been able to edit and upload some vlogs that I have. They're all stored in my computer and I rarely get to use my computer anymore as I'm always mobile. I try to post a blog as much as I could since I don't need to wait a long time for it to upload. However, just like my videos, I do a lot of editting (light editting only) and watermarking. But I love blogging and have fallen in love with vlogging that I want to continue this and I thank all my readers for being very patient with me. :)


As a mineral makeup fan, I love trying out different brands of mineral makeup. My recent mineral powder of choice is Physicians Formula Talc Free Mineral Wear Mineral Loose Powder. It is intended for extra sensitive or breakout-prone skin. The minimalist formula helps reduce irritation and breakout. And it does its job really well.


The Talk on Talc
- Gentle, talc-free, minimalist formula allows skin to breathe.
-Can help minimize the risk of irritation and breakout.
- Eliminates the look of a chalky, dry finish.

Mineral Wear to a Natural Wear
- Minerals such as Mica provide a smooth, "second skin" feel and finish.
- Performance and coverage of a foundation.
- Blendability and natural finish of a loose powder.

A Daily Dose of Vitamins & Minerals
- Derivatives of Vitamins A & E, natural anti-oxidants, help to protect and condition the skin.


I got the shade Buff Beige and the shade is perfect for me. It glides on really smoothly like I have second skin. I love what it gives really good coverage and did you know that it has SPF16 as well? In fact, the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends this product as an effective UV sunscreen. I have been using it everyday because it feels so light on the skin and it doesn't break me out.



I think it's super convenient to use as well as it already comes with a brush. Although I personally use my own Charm Flat Top or Charm Kabuki brush for this. I only use a small amount to cover my face.


Like what I said before I am not a fan of the brush that's included because I feel that it's scratchy. I'm very picky when it comes to brushes. And I feel that it's important that you are happy and comfortable with your brushes before using them on your face.


I do recommend this product to mineral makeup lovers like myself as I am very satisfied with it. It lets your skin breathe but it gives really good coverage. It's also talc free so there's no clogging of pores. By the way, I only use a setting/loose powder to retouch because the coverage that this gives is enough for me.


If you would like to order, I highly recommend Tamera Online. They've got other imported brands as well. So visit their website at www.tameraonline.com to see their catalog. :)

As you all know, I am a supporter of Flawless, mainly because I love their affordable services. I go to Flawless for my regular facials and I also purchased their Lifetime Laser Hair Removal package.
Recently I was able to try their famous Nano Powerpeel. It was part of National Flawless Day Week 1 promo. It was very timely because I needed to get a facial- badly.

I went to SM Megamall branch because that’s where I normally go to and it’s the largest branch of Flawless.

The products:

After waiting for about 15 minutes, I was led to the facial area.

Before the procedure started, I was asked to sign a waiver. They usually ask for your consent for treatments that are more intense. So if you’re going for a facial, I think you there’s no waiver anymore.

Excited! ;p
The procedure started with a classic facial. They cleanse the face with a cleansing foam and steam it for a few minutes before the pricking starts. After closing the pores with laser, it was time for my nano peel.

 Result of the classic facial
The machine used looked like a vaccum for the face. It has crystals and aluminum oxide. The crystals are corundum crystals which are very very fine so the pain would be tolerable. It gives a micro peel, exfoliate the skin and whiten it. It also removes dry skin and helps control oiliness.

The pain wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I did feel scratching though and there were times I would make it stop a bit. But overall, I was able to push through it. Haha!

I was told not to expose my skin to the sun and wear sunblock. I also cannot wet my face for 4 hours but decided to not wet it the whole night.

Right after the peel, I thought that my face would start peeling and turn red. Surprisingly I did not peel! Even the day after, no peeling at all. There were a few red areas here and there but they said it’s because of the facial (pricking) and not the power peel.
When I touched my skin, I can already feel the difference. I already felt that my skin was very smooth and soft.

 Photo right after my treatments from Flawless
(Ignore the red neck. I’ll talk about it on another post.) 😉

Here are photos the day after my power peel. I have to say this was the perfect time for me to judge the result of the powerpeel.
My skin was glowing. It’s definitely more radiant looking. 🙂 i would have to say it made my skin just a tad lighter, but not really whiter. I think the lightening effect is because of the dry dead skin that was removed by the power peel.
I am very satisfied and I highly recommend this procedure. As I’m typing this, it’s already been a week but my skin is still as good and as nice just like the day after the procedure. 🙂
I’ll post more photos next time, I’ll incorporate the 2 procedures I had in one post to show you how I look a day after. 🙂
You can avail of this service at any branch of Flawless. I’m sure you will be as satisfied as I am. 😉
