Not So New Stuff In My Make-Up Purse

Hey guys! It's been a real long while since I've posted something here, but I'm back now! Unfortunately, I will just be kind of updating my "What's In My Purse?" entry. I've been using other kinds of make-up lately and I would just like to say a few things about them.

First off is my Clinique Sheer Powder Blusher (Posy Blush) vs my old Fashion 21 Single Blush-On (1).

Obviously, I've been using it a lot. I love this blusher so much. It's matte and it's just the right shade for me. I use it all the time as opposed to the Fashion 21 one since it had some shimmer on and it was too much for me on an everyday look. So, I'm not sure how much this costs and I'm not sure if it really is for sale cause from what I remember, this type of packaging and in this size, I believe it's a sample. I'm not sure though. But I checked on ebay and their selling it for almost $12.00, I think. I also checked on Clinique and this kind of blusher isn't available. But I bet their other blushers are still amazing, as usual. They sell blushers for $19.00 up.

Next stop is my Godiva Lip Gloss vs my old Human Heart Nature Organic Lip Balm (Watermelon)

I know it says "lip gloss" but really, it works as a lip balm. And I got it in orange flavor since they didn't the the bubble gum one at that time. But anyway, I can't say that I really love this but I love that fact that it kind of has a mint after-feel on it. That's my favorite part. I changed my old lip balm cause I was looking for something that lightens my lip color and my sister said this works. Well, it haven't really done much on my lips and I'm still searching for other lip treatments that will do the trick. Any suggestions? But for the moment, this will do.

The last one on my list is my MAC Frost Lipstick (Colour Me Coral) vs my Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick/ Rouge (161 Pink Parfait) and Anna Sui Lip Rouge (17)

I use this lipstick as a base. I don't really wear this color alone, it's always with a pink lip gloss or I top it with another lipstick. It works great as a primer! ;) So what I do is, I put my lip balm first, then this lipstick then I top it with my favorite lip gloss; LR Cosmetics Lip Gloss (3). It gives the perfect shade that I love that is perfect for any occasion. So, MAC frost lipsticks costs $14.50, but I'm not sure how much it costs in the Philippines. Oh yea, MAC is already open here in Cebu and I'm so happy about it but sadly, I can't afford it. And, I haven't checked it out yet. There's too much hype at the moment. Maybe I'll visit once it cools down.

So, that's about it! I have more to share but I have to watch How I Met Your Mother. :)

This is Part 2 of my "Inside my Everyday Make-Up Purse"

Roll Call Part 2:

9.) Human Heart Nature Organic Lip Balm (Watermelon)

Human Heart Nature is a Philippine brand. All their products are organic and all the ingredients and materials used are from the Philippines. I really support this brand not only because it's from the Philippines but also because they provide livelihood to the less privileged Filipinos. They also take "serious responsibility of being nature’s stewards". This lip balm only costs P59.75! Learn more about them in humanheartnature.com.

10.) Bench Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer (Alcogel Aromatherpy)

This sanitizer smells soooo good! It's Jasmine Blossom scented. It has chamomile extract and it moisturizes too. I can't stop smelling my hands whenever I use this. It costs P36.00.

11.) MAC Select Sheer/ Loose Powder (NW 15)

I just started using this powder and I usually use this for touch-ups. It's great! It gives a matte but glowy finish and looks like you don't have anything on. You should try this. It costs US$23.00. BTW, this came with the Nail Lacquer and I mentioned previously. My Aunt got this with other stuff for C$5.00!

12.) Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick/ Rouge (161 Pink Parfait)

This is my everyday lipstick. My Mommy Bebot gave this. I just checked out Estee Lauder's site and saw that they have a new "packaging" and it's so much better. This lipstick has a shimmer finish and it's very light. Suuuper light -- it's sheer. So what I do is, I put my lip balm on, then my lip gloss then this. It's so weird. But it looks spectacular! This costs $24.00.

13.) Anna Sui Lip Rouge (17)

This is my favorite part of the lipstick!

My friend Noyl got me this as a Christmas present. I love it! I really don't know from which collection this is from but it doesn't make me love it less. I has a matte finish and the color is just striking! I love using this on night outs, whenever I have very little make-up on or whenever I get the urge to put on a bold lip color. Check Anna Sui's site. It's so fun.

14.) La Senza Fragrant Body Splash (Heart Song)

LA Senza's Heart Song smells just like Victoria's Secret's Love Spell. This scent my be too strong at first and I admit I sneeze almost every time I put this on but after a while, the scent becomes mild and it lasts the whole day. I only tried this scent and their Heavenly Love (vanilla) and I love both! BTW, I only bring the smaller bottle. The original bottle's too heavy for me to bring. La Senza's Body Mist costs $9.50.

15.) Garnier Skins Natural Light Whitening Face Powder (02 Natural)

Mine's got white eyeline stick in it. XD

This is the only face powder that I use. I doesn't irritate my skin and it matches my skin tone perfectly. Another thing is that it doesn't give me oily skin right away. It has vitamin C and SPF 18 and it smells really good! This costs P199.00.

16.) LR Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner (10005-1 Absolute Black)

I like this liquid eyeliner since it drys fast and it gives off a matte finish. It's really black and it lasts the whole day. This costs P569.00

17.) LR Cosmetics Lip Gloss (3)

I love this lipgloss! It's the perfect color for me. Not too dark and not too light. It glides on my lips smoothly! I use this everyday! I don't know how much this costs but it's definitely below P500.00.

18.) e.l.f. Total Face Brush

Inside my Everyday Make-Up Purse Part 1

I was so excited to put my things inside my new purse. There are 22 things inside it. I'll go over it one by one. :)

Roll Call:

1.) MAC Impeccable Brow Pencil (Taupe)

I just got this hence, the box.

This is my new favorite brow pencil. It's so easy and fast to use. It doesn't take up much space and a works great. The tip is kind of moist or cream like so it stay on long. I wouldn't worry if I made a mistake, I can just use tissue to wipe it off. It's US$15.00.

2.) My Gel Ball pen (0.3)

Oh my gosh! I love this pen. It's my favorite. It's cheap; like really cheap (P21.00) and it writes smoothly. Really smooth and easy. It has refills too.

3.) Silk Secret's Oil Control Sheet (Powdered Blotting Sheet)

My sister, Dana got this at Watsons and I don't know how much this costs.This oil control sheet is powdered. Yes, powdered. So, whenever I use this, dirt and oil is removed from my face and at the same time, it looks fresh.

4.) Gingerbon (Extra Strong)

I just had laryngitis and my voice til now is a bit hoarse that's why I always see to it I bring Gingerbon and Strepsils (Sugar Free/ Honey Lemon) with me. Gingerbon is a real ginger candy and you can really taste the ginger in it. It's like eating a ginger jelly that's sweet. It works good too for laryngitis but the thing is, it has sugar which is not really advisable to take in while having laryngitis.

5.) Bijoux Terner Watch

My mom bought me this watch from the airport NAIA 3. We we're on our way back to Cebu. We decided to go around the airport and found this! We got this for P595.00 only! All I know from the brand is that it was founded in Miami, Florida. And they are usually found in airports. They don't only sell watches but they also sell bags, wallets, accessories, etc. For the watches, there are lots of designs to choose from; from women's to men's, it's crazy! I took a long time for me to decide which watch to buy. The promo at that time was if we bought 3 things at regular price, we would get one watch for free or get a 10% discount. I got a watch, my mom got one too then my sister, Dana got a wallet so we got a free watch for my other sister, Denise!

For the US price, I think it's $10.00. Luxury at P595.00.

6.) MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow (Engaging)

This eye shadow is divine. It's very light once you apply it. It's sheer and shimmery. What I do is either I put it all by itself or I apply it on top of another matte eyeshadow. I also use this as a highlighter on my cheeks. It costs US$19.50.

7.) Clinique Blush & Bronze Duo (Iced Lotus and Sunkissed)

Iced Lotus (Blush )- Sunkissed (Bronzer)

Lately, I've been using the bronzer more than the blush. Nothing's wrong with the blush but it's too pink for me. I still use it once in a while, it really depends on my mood and as to what event I'm going to. I can't find it on Clinique now but you can buy it on Ebay for US$8.00.

8.) Fashion 21 Single Blush-On (1)

Find out more about this blush (I already talked about this) here. :)
