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…

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 -- …

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…

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…

Maybelline Creamy Matte | The Creamiest Matte Lipstick of Them All
Staying power and texture are two of the things I require for a lipstick to possess. Let us admit it, for the longest time, a tube can only have only one of those attributes. You want the color to stay for long hours? Make sure you're ready to bear with the dryness of your lips come the first hours of application. You like something that glides on smoothly and m…

Shu Uemura Face Architect Sheer Refining Mousse Foundation
I seldom wear foundation. So seldom that I already forgot that I have a number, in different forms and types, in my stash. My addiction to skincare has been doing wonders on my skin that I no longer find the need to whip up a base makeup on an everyday basis. But of course, on days that I need to front a full glam or on times my hormones are acting up like crazy, …
