Beauty MNL Haul # 2

Not a sponsored post.




Last month, beautymnl.com had a 'free delivery' promo. The above photo are my haul. 💕

What I think about my haul after a month-long of use are the following:

1. Biore UV Aqua BB Cream

I like how light the product is when applied to the face. It's not heavy, yet the coverage is semi-full. It satisfactorily covers light imperfections of the skin. I like that it doesn't leave my skin dry. It has a semi-matte finish and feels very hydrating. Plus, it's very affordable. If my memory serves me right, it only costs around P300. Value for money!

Overall Rating: 8/10

2. Skin Genie Lip and Cheek Tint in Rose Pink/Tan Brown

The tint is very cheap. If I remember correctly, I bought each for P80. Cheap yet it satisfactorily serves its purpose. It stains the lips for about 4-5hours. Good enough! However, I don't like the fact that it leaves my lips, errrm, dry? I don't know if it's the product or it's just my lips being sensitive.

I have not found any lip tint that doesn't leave my lips dry. This happens only in lip tints though. Whenever I use lip tints, I get chapped lips after, unlike when I use lipsticks, lip balms and lip cremes. That's why it's frustrating kasi mas gusto ko sana i-everyday ang liptint. Or sa mga lakad sa kanto lang. (Let me know if you know a good lip tint that I could try.)

Overall Rating: 7/10

3. Faith. Hope. Love. Cucumber Hydrating Mist

I like it's scent and that it's refreshing when applied. However, I find that the product leaves me oily during the day. That's why I usually spray this only at night when I just finished washing my face and have gone through all my rituals, and right before sleeping. I use this as a moisturizer aside from my usual moisturizer. It's like the finishing touch of my skin care regimen. After applying and when it's finally dry, I feel my skin tight, smooth and cool. Plus, the product is also very affordable!

Overall Rating: 7/10


 The Jergens Age Defying lotion came as a freebie.
Over all, I am very satisfied with my haul. Yaaaay me! 👌👌

My First BeautyMNL Haul

I'm a makeup enthusiast, but my problem is that I don't have much time to go on shopping or looking for new hauls.

Thank God for technology, everything now is ONLINE! Even makeup shopping can now be done online!

I love Online Shopping because of its convenience, that is why I really appreciate how useful beautyMNL.com is.



I appreciate how convenient and easy it is to access the site. Plus, beautyMNL is complete. It has everything, if not all, most of my makeup fantasies and needs.

Hence, when I had my first BeautyMNL shopping haul, I was so super excited I had everything documented. HAHAHA! :)

I got the package 5days after I placed my order online.
Teneeeeen!

So...this is the packaging.




Let's look what's inside..

It's wrapped with a thick layer of bubble wrap to make sure that the stuff we ordered do not get ruined upon shipment...

So here are the stuffs I got...

The St.Ives Facial Scrub and the Tresemme shampoo and conditioner were freebies. Thank you! :)

My hauls are the Loreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation (Php600), Olay Toner (Php202), and Dove White Beauty Bar (Php48).

Aside from the usual stuff, I especially loved the Loreal Infallible ProMatte Foundation. I really wanted to buy the Foundation for a while now but I couldn't really find the time to purchase one because of my busy schedule. Good thing BeautyMNL sells this!

I got mine in the Golden Beige shade.


I don't have a fair complexion so I opted for a shade which I believe suits me. So, this one is Golden Beige. I must admit, this one is a tad bit darker than my skin color. It was chosen in error. Errr, not really a mistake; more like serendipity!



Fortunate accident, I loved it!
Super! No kidding. I loved how I mistakenly chose this shade!
Serendipity! I'll tell you why. But first...

I like this product because of a lot of things.

First, its packaging is very hygienic. The sponge is separated from the powder. Pls see video clip below.


Second, I like that it lives up to its reputation that it is long-lasting, has full coverage and is lightweight.

YES! It sticks to my skin as if it is my own skin. Plus, it covers the areas which are less pretty. Plus plus, it lasts for almost (not exactly) 16-hours. I like that I don't have to retouch every now and then when I use this product.

As I said though, this is a tad bit darker for me, that is why I use it also as a sort of bronzer. I use it in moderation for the rest of my face but for the edgy part or the parts which I like to be a bit darker, I use it alot...So it doubles for me as a bronzer.
Ever since I used this, I get compliments all the time. Stuffs like 'Hey, you look blooming/glowing' or like 'Did you slim down?'. I swear!
Serendipity, I say, that I discovered this use! :)

To rate this item, 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest, I'd give this one a 9! No joke! It deserves a 9. I love Loreal, in general, AND in specific,  I SUPER LOVE THIS INFALLIBLE PROMATTE FOUNDATION! :)

If you wanted to avail of this product, too, visit BeautyMNL.com !
I know you'll find other more stuff to purchase, and you won't regret it.
They usually have items at a discount, so what else do you need more?

BeautyMNL is complete and convenient! Perfect, right? I can't wait for my next haul, and when I do shop again, I'll share it to you once more! yaaaay! <3 p="">

REVIEW: Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Liquid Foundation + Dream Satin Skin Two Way Cake

Disclaimer: This is not a paid post.

Hi, everyone!

This is my first ever official makeup review. Yaaaaay!


I have always wanted to do makeup reviews but I don't seem to have enough TIME and GUTS to do it. So, I usually end up sharing my thoughts about certain makeup products I use, only, through my social media accounts. However, by some divine intervention, I finally have decided to do one here in my blog. Excuse my work, by the way, I'm still a bit rusty.

I'm no makeup expert, but because I love makeup so much I usually have a 'few' things to say about certain products. 

To start, I'd like to share with you one of my favorite drugstore makeup brand, Maybelline.
I like their products because aside from being affordable, this brand delivers.

I'll be sharing with you my thoughts on Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Liquid Foundation and their Dream Satin Skin Two Way Cake. I will also share with you a little of my thoughts about their Maybelline Fit Me Concealer.




MAYBELLINE Dream Satin Skin Liquid Foundation

Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Liquid Foundation in B2 shade
The liquid foundation costs around Php499 and comes in a glass container with a pump. It contains SPF 24 PA ++, and it claims to provide satin smooth looking skin. Its description says it's long lasting, moisturizing and does not clog pores.


The consistency is very lightweight and 'blendable'. It spreads easily. I have mine in the shade of B2 which is a bit yellowish; great for girls who have yellow undertones.

When applied:

The product is very lightweight and has some dewiness to it, that when applied, it gives you that soft silky healthy glow.

I have a normal to dry skin type. So, personally, I like this kind of finish--- dewy and satin. It makes my skin look youthful. I'd probably use this on days that are less humid. Otherwise, if its humid,it might wear off easily and I'd always have to do touch-ups. Hassle!

I don't advise people who have oily skin to use this. Sorry, I don't think this product is for you.

With regard to coverage, I think it is only medium, not full. So to help cover those dark spots, pimple scars and eye bags, I suggest you still use concealer. OR, you just apply another layer of the foundation to get that full coverage.

 However, in the photos above, I used Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I just dab the concealer on the target areas, and voila, you can't even see the dark pimple scars I have on my chin and forehead. Super magical item!

Here's a photo of my abused Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Deep Fonce.
Its writings are already erased. Sorry!
It is proof that it was loved, used and abused.

Moving on...


Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Two Way Cake

Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Two Way Cake in B5
The powder costs around Php399 and comes in this beige compact case with MAYBELLINE engraved into its cover. It contains SPF 32 PA +++, and claims to provide a non-cakey, ultra breathable satin skin finish that lasts all day.

In this review, I used the powder to set the liquid foundation using my Innoxa Kabuki brush.



I don't know how to describe it, but it's beautifully matte and satin at the same time. It's also very light on your face.

 In the video above, it worked perfectly as a setting powder. However, I think it would also work well on its own. It has a better coverage than the liquid foundation and I think it lasts longer. It's perfect for girls on the go, just like me.

I think this would also be the perfect foundation to use on humid days, as compared to the liquid foundation. Plus, those who have oily skin would definitely like this finish. This one is definitely for you, guys!

All in all, I liked the above-mentioned products. But I don't really agree that they'd last the whole day. Not in my case. You'd still have to do touch ups though, but not as often. Maybe an interval of 3-4 hours, depending on the skin type.

Here are a few vanity shots with both the liquid foundation and the two-way cake on:




Anyway, that's all for now.
Thank you for reading my review. I'd appreciate it if you leave me a comment on what you think about my first review.

PS.
Maybelline usually sell these items at a lower cost when on promo, so I suggest you should always be on the lookout for these promos. Good luck!
