BareNatural's " No breakout to Make-up soap"

credit for this picture belongs to mybarenaturals.com






Hello Everyone! I am here to make another review for another wonderful soap that I got as a freebie from the barenaturals :)



But before anything else, I would like to show the description about this soap from the site of barenaturals:



NO BREAK-OUT to MAKEUPAnti-pimple, Acne mark remover, Emu Oil Skin 
Soap, recommended for Oily Skin
An anti- skin break-out soap, it has tea tree oil and real tea tree leaves with anti-bacterial action; best for pimples and other skin diseases.
Fortified with the finest grade of emu oil to nourish and make the skin glow with health! With omega 3, 6, 8 and anti-bacteria properties.
Mildly infused with calamansi and papain for gentle skin lightening.With sweet envigorating scent of pink grapefruit


I've been using this soap for about 3 weeks now and what can I say? This soap is truly Ah-mazing! I can tell that I like this soap more than my regular facial soap :) I like the feel of this soap, it's not creamy when you rub it to your hands, but when you apply it on your face, it's like using a liquid facial wash! It's very light on the face! Plus, it got a sweet scent of grapefruit, I can't help using this soap always :) The scent is very addicting :) And it's super cute! It's color yellow, and has grape seed (I think) and It's the cutest soap I've ever used :) 


 I use it three times a day, and it's my third week now using this soap. I can say that this soap is great because I don't get break-outs using this :) And what I like about this, it gently peels the skin :) But it's not obvious, you could barely notice the peeling :)  What I noticed when I started to use this soap, it made my skin soft. Every after wash, you will feel that your face is softer, and moisturized.  I highly recommend this soap for all skin types :) Based from the description, it's recommended for oily skin, my skin is a combination of oily/dry, but this soap worked well for me :)

Bare Naturals Obuasi African Black Soap


It took me so long before I made a review about this soap that I got as a freebie when I ordered some blushes from BareNaturals. I want to test it first before making a review about this..
I used this soap right after I received my package :) And what can I say? This soap was amazing! I used it as a facial soap, I followed the instruction from the description of this soap on BareNaturals album. You need to rub it first to your hands, not use it directly to your face and body as it contains cocoa pod ashes, you might find it occasionally grit.

What I like about this soap? It's very moisturizing and it doesn't have strong fragrance, just the natural scent coming from the natural ingredients of it so I highly recommend for those who have sensitive skin :) Everytime I use this soap, I feel that my face is squeaky clean! :) Plus, it doesn't cause me any breakout, so yeah, I'm so happy that I got this as a freebie :) This tiny freebie soap(I thought at first that it wouldn't last for a week) actually will last up to months depending on how you use it :) I have been using this for 2 weeks already :)

If you want to order, just visit their site at mybarenaturals.com or visit their multiply site at barenaturals.multiply.com. For more info, visit their facebook fanpage :https://www.facebook.com/pages/Barenaturals-Mineral-Cosmetics/108087241559 , and don't forget to like :)

I highly recommend this product and it is very affordable.. I bought it for only 
P150.00. You can buy it at any watsons, sm department stores and sundance dealers nationwide :)

Ever Bilena mousse blush in "aster"

Hello guys! I just wanna share my new favorite from ever bilena, it's a mousse blush. Actually it's my first time to try a mousse blush and I am so excited to share my review about this :)

I saw this blush when I was passed by an ever bilena make up stall. Out of curiousity, I bought the blush.
It's only P125, very affordable :)


As you can see from the pan, it's a bright pink color but when you swatch it, it's actually a very subtle pink color which is very natural looking and will make you look like you have a natural rosy cheeks :)


On the left: blended already and on the right side, swatched heavily.
I really like the color of it,  it's very smooth and it doesn't cause me break-outs. It actually has some shimmers but when you apply it on your cheeks the glitter fades. I use this when I just want to look natural..And sometimes I use it as a blush base for my blush to stay longer :)



Ever Bilena blush "earth"


I first saw this blush in a make-up demonstration held at our neighbor's house blessing. When I saw the blush, I was attracted to it's color and ofcourse, to it's container because it's similar to mac's. 


From the pan: It has a really nice brown color, perfect for morena skin tone :) It also compliments any skin color. It is also good for contouring.

The packaging is really impressive as it has a mini brush and a mirror, it's so convenient and worth the price. It's only P150.00, and available in Sm depatment stores, watsons and Ever Bilena dealers nationwide :)

here's the swatch:

It's perfect :)

I'll definitely repurchase this :)


Ellana MineralBlush in "Bliss"

Ellana Blush in "Bliss"
-earthy terracotta red with sheer matte finish.

I copied this description from my free catalog that Ellana sent to me along with my order.

I got this blush as a sample only. Here it is:

Ellana is very generous when it comes to the amount of their samples, it can last up to months depending on how often you use it.

Here's the swatch:

Left is blended already, on the right it's heavily swatched.

I really love how pigmented Ellana blushes are. Only a little goes a long way! I really love the color of this blush, it really suits my medium tone skin. It gives a nice glow on my face, the color turns into a nice orangey color when applied to my cheeks which I really like. It gives a matte finish which is very natural looking. This is perfect for everyday use, also perfect for summer make-up :)

Ellana mineral cosmetics is available at selected SM depatment stores. You can also order online at Ellanamineras.com or visit them at their multiply account: ellanaminerals.multiply.com. :)

Ever Bilena Lip and Cheek tint in "redd"


I have read many good reviews about lip and cheek stains so I am very excited to have my own and test it myself. I was testing some make-up in ever bilena at the make up station when the Lip and Cheek stain caught my attention.

I am really curious about it so I decided to give it a try. I bought it in the mall for only P65.00. Very affordable! Let's see if this product is worth every penny.



The swatches...on the right side the stain is blended already. 

The color from the tube is red, but when you try to apply it on your cheeks, it gives you a natural looking blush. It's like you have a natural rosy cheeks, but be careful while applying this because when you put too much it will make you look like you've been slapped on your cheeks for 5 times, haha :)

What I like about this product aside from it's affordable price is that it's very easy to apply on the cheeks. It doesn't dry quickly so you have more time to blend it well on your cheeks.
It's also nice to use as a lip tint but it dries my lips so I just use it as a blush.

What I don't like about this product is that it leaves stain on my fingers after applying it. And when I try to remove my make up, the stain is very hard to remove. So I decided not to use it always and it ended up getting piled up in my my make-up box.



Maybelline Lip Smooth Color Bloom in "pink blossom"


This Lip Balm is from Maybelline. Maybelline is very famous for it's lippies...and this amazing lip balm is another unique and awesome product maybelline ever released :)
I really love this Lip Balm. I am not really into using lip glosses or lip balms but this product changed my mind! 



As you can see, when you try to twist the tube you will see that the balm looks plain white..But when you try to apply it on your lips, that's when the magic begins.


Here's the swatch..See it? It changes it's color when you apply it on your lips. Mine turns out into a beautiful pink color which is very natural looking!

I really love it! This is my current favorite lip balm. It's perfect for everyday use especially if you want to look natural, you can just use powder, a nice cheek tint and Maybelline lip smooth color lip balm and you're ready to go! :)

What I like about it:
-It's cheap, you can buy it for only P99.00.
-Nice color and sweet scent.
-Cute packaging.
-Easy to find! You can buy it at any watsons, sm department stores and sundance dealers :)




Natasha Spalipstick in "candylush"

Our neighbor is a dealer of natasha products so I tried to take a look on their catalogue. I saw taht natasha has a cosmetics line too. They have foundations, pressed powders, lipsticks, etc...
I tried to order my first ever natasha lipstick in "candylush".
In catalog, it's really pretty and the name "candylush" really describe it coz it's color really is similar to a candy.. :)



I really like the packaging, it looks very classy! 


The swatch was taken with flash. It's a very moisturizing lipstick and glides smoothly on my lips. No need for lipgloss coz it really stands out alone :)

The color is pale-pink, you can wear it with a plum-color blush. It's perfect for nude looks or if you're trying to pull off a dolly and demure looks, it's a lipstick you should try on :)

It's very affordable, you can buy it for only P180.00, and it's available in any natasha dealers nationwide.

In2It Waterproof Blush in "affinity"

Summer is coming! I am trying to look for a perfect blush for a summer look when I saw the latest waterproof blush of In2It cosmetics. The saleslady suggested me to try "affinity",  so I decided to give it a try.


The packaging was quite impressive, it's classy and when you open it, it has a mirror, big enough to apply the blush perfectly.

The color is really pretty. It has 3 orange colors from lightest to darker shade. You can use the shades individually or you can use this altogether to achieve that tangerine look for summer.
I use it in school too, it's a pretty shade perfect for everyday use. It has gold pigments so if you hate shimmers, it's not the prefect blush for you. Although I am not really into shimmers, I still like it 'cause it really brightens up my face.It gives me a nice glowy look, I use it with my orange lipstick.

What I like about it:
-It's affordable. (P375.00) 9g.
-The color is really nice.
-Has a big mirror.
-Very pigmented.
-Very cute packaging

It's available in any watsons and Sm department stores :)



Ever Bilena matte lipstick "off beat pink"

I was looking for a perfect pink lipstick for a dolly look when I saw off-beat pink in a make-up demonstration in our neighbor's house blessing. It was very pretty and I can't wait to have that lipstick and give it a try so I ordered one.


The package is cheap but I don't care! I really like the color of it..It's a pale-pink color, you can use it with a brown-based blush.



See the swatches? It's pretty :) It's really a girly color. :)
I use this at night when we have a party in school, it's matte so be sure to use a lipbalm before applying this if you don't want to see your lips drying.

What I like about it:
-It's cheap..I bought it for only P150.00.
-The color is gorgeous!

What I don't like:
-It has a rubbery smell.
-The packaging is made of cheap plastic, the Ever bilena print easily fades.

Will I repurchase?
-yes.but I will try different shades next time..

Ellana minerals in "patience"

Are you looking for a natural looking blush? Ellana Mineral blush in "patience" is just the right blush for you!
It's suitable for all skin color and it's very natural looking! It's shade is pale nude brown with sheer matte finish, perfect for everyday make-up. It's very pigmented so only a little goes a long way!

This is what it looks like from the container...See? It's pretty :) It's somehow similar to my lancome blush in "capucine", but more lighter..

The swatches doesn't really show the real color of the blush(sorry I only took it with an ordinary 10mp camera) but when I apply it on my cheeks, it really gives a natural flush especially if you have a medium-tone skin. I use this everyday as a school make-up, with my maybelline lipbalm in "pink bloom".


What I like about Ellana blushes:
-It's cheap. It's available in 1g(P100.00) and 2.5g(P180.00).
-It is easy to apply, and it will last a long time for it is very pigmented, only a little goes a long way.
-It doesn't clog pores.
-It's small and doesn't occupy much space in my pouch.



It's available in selected SM department stores or you can just order online at "ellanaminerals.com".

Ms.Coney is the founder of the ellana minerals..She was very kind and very accommodating. She quickly responds to any of my queries and even suggested me what is the suitable blush for my skintone. I asked her for some samples, and she said she can send it to me along with my order :)
It was a very smooth transaction, after I paid my order, 3 days later I received my package already.
When I opened my package, the blush has a styro cover..I really like how they take care of the customer's orders :) My order has a free catalog, and also my free samples :)

I hope you liked my review :)
