L'Oreal Tint Caresse | Review + Swatch
We have been so used with the usual formulations of lipsticks -- wax and liquid -- that we didn't even think that having it in a powder was possible. But yes, it is possible. A few months ago, L'Oreal introduces its very first powder lipstick in the beauty market, the L'Oreal Tint Caresse . Dubbed as the future of lipstick, L'Oreal Tint Caresse…

With the intense heat and the laziness this vacation has brought me (You cannot blame me!) , the least thing I want to do is get my body out of the house. Well, unless it is badly needed! I am on vacation from work, by the way. But still, there are things that I am willing to brave the heat for and one of those is a visit to Finessa Aesthetica . The thought that…

Girl Talk: #KayaAngSuddenGush with Modess Cottony Soft All Nights
We, women, have to fight our own monthly battles. Some experience intolerable muscle cramps while there are some who have to deal with heavy flow. As for me, I consider myself to experience whatever lie in between these two. Normal, I would call it. My everyday routine does not have to change because of my period but there's one thing I totally hate about it -- …

Tony Moly Pocket Bunny Moist Mist
I have always been fascinated with Korean beauty and skincare products which made Korea part of the list of my To-Visit countries. A visit to this place, just to shop for makeup and skincare products, will sure not happen anytime soon given than I have a load of things to spend for. But with the hit of online shops , we can easily have our hands on the products th…

Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50+
A few days ago, I posted this photo on my Instagram page (@jesroque) with the caption, "I can live with just defined brows and a good amount of SPF." And with all honesty, this is the look I groove with lately -- brows and smooth, glowing matte skin. No blush, no contour, no whatever. It takes me just 10 minutes to whip this look, with the 9 minutes of i…

Maybelline Hypermatte Liquid Liner | Dark. Bold and Matte for only Php199!
When I was starting playing with makeup, it was the eyeliner part that I dreaded the most. The first one I got back then, well that was roughly 7 years ago, was a dip type. It was a struggle, I tell you. The brush felt stiff and the application was a horror. I couldn't seem to find the best way to use it. That thing between me and dip liners ran for n number o…

Underarm Treatments with Finessa Aesthetica: Session 1 (IPL)
Underarm care and grooming is one of a few topics that are not widely discussed in the beauty world. Yes, we talk about the deodorant we use and the treatments we get but not about how white and smooth are pits are. Why? Because we, women, are very conscious about our underarms. There are even some that are insecure about them. The numerous plucking, waxing and …

Contour like a Pro with BYS Contour Trio
Contouring can be tricky. If you do it correctly, you will sure accentuate the features of your face in just a few swipes. But a wrong mix of a not-so-good product and improper application can make your entire mug look muddy. I am not, in any way, a contour pro but I think I do it decently. All thanks to the products I use, and my huge face, because they make co…

Hot Star Philippines' Large Fried Chicken: Satisfying and Filling Yet Very Affordable!
Whenever I am in for a busy workday (which is almost every single day, if I may add) , I make sure I have a planned activity to sum up my day. It may just be a casual trip to a makeup store, a playtime with my dogs, or a chat with my loved one. It doesn't have to be grand, actually. As long as it will renew and refresh me for the next day, I am good with it. …
