Growing up, I was never really the type of girl who was into make up, girly things, or anything "normal" girls are into, I was more of an introvert type, watching Anime at home, never really cared what I looked like, but ever since I started working, I became more conscious of my overall appearance, and started appreciating make up in a different way. Before I thought that make up was there to change your appearance, be someone you're not, and it was just for boys to think you're pretty, but now I've realized that its a different form of art, and its for you and you alone. (still not good at putting on make up tho FYI lol)

I've been wanting to purchase from a brand where their Philosophy is to enhance your current beauty instead of concealing or trying to change something, and that's what GLOSSIER. is all about!
"Skin First, Make up Second" - their products are focused on skin care and how to enhance your natural beauty!

When you go to their website, you'll see that the models are women of color, so it means their products would work on any race/color, and at the same time, you'll find that the models barely have any make up on, if you're into the "No make up" make up look, then this brand is for you! They are all about the dewiness

• Glossier. Cloud Paint BEAM

• Glossier. Lip Gloss

Lip Gloss

It’s the Glossiest. 

We took everything you love about lip gloss, got rid of everything you don’t, and formulated the perfect Lip Gloss. Our formula gives lips one thing: cushiony, crystal clear shine—no gluey feeling, no stickiness, no grittiness, no glitter. The fuzzy doe-foot applicator glides on a delightfully lightweight layer for a comfortable, glassy finish that won’t disappear after an hour (oooh yeeeah). And because it’s Glossier, your lips stay soft and hydrated thanks to moisturizing Vitamin E. Shine on, friend.

I think this is a first for me, doing a simple make up review, at least for this brand~ (lol) I've always been on the search for the perfect concealer for me, since my biggest insecurity when it comes to my face, and I think I just found the perfect one for me! It's the ZERO KUMA CONCEALER and I really love this product! Plus it's cute! (Japanese cosmetics are mostly like that lol)



There's actually 3 different shades for 3 different purposes~ I chose the Type 1 concealer because I've always bought bright concealers, I wanted to try something a little closer or something a little darker than my skin tone, and I think it compliments each other perfectly!

•  01 NATURAL BEIGE - All mighty type moisture concealer! I'd recommend this for the medium skin tones~ (even though I have a lighter skin tone, I still got this and it looks really natural which I love!) This is also good for covering blemishes! 
• 02 YELLOW BEIGE - Brown Dark Sin Concealer; this is mainly the lightest color, which I think would blend well with number 1 and prolly look like your Highlighter~ 
• 03 ORANGE BEIGE - Blue dark skin; This is basically really useful for people with bluish or purplish eye bags!

The tube istelf looks really simple but stunning, which is an important factor for me when it comes to make up lol


It's a slant-tip tube so it's easy to pump out the product, but I wish they'd use a regular tube tip because it's easier to determine the amount of product your put, and it's easier to clean! lol



Pumped the product initially, and as you can see, it has a very thick consistency and it's really opaque and smooth! It's easy to spread and it has an illuminating finish which makes the look more natural! (depending on the amount you put though lol)


This product is infused with skin care serum that helps brightens dark circles, have been using this for about a week, and I haven't seen any majore changes but hey, these things may take time, or maybe I just have super dark circles that the product can't handle it lol

Here's a selfie with a complete look! I match my concealer with my Canmake foundation powder and I have to say how great they compliment each other!  (This photo was taken inside the bathroom in my office lol)


RECOMMENDATIONS: 

• I would have to say that this product is one of the best I've used since it doesn't dry my skin! and my skin is actually really sensitive!
• A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY WITH THIS PRODUCT, you don't need to put too much and it will cover whatever you want to hide
• I got this for 795php at the Beauty Bar in UP Town Center Katipunan, I think it's a really good amount for the quality and amount you'll get!
• I recommend this to girls who have sensitive skin like me!

One of the things I also love about this product is that, all three shades have different uses, you can actually use all of them to complete one whole look! It's up to you to find the perfect shade that would look best on your skin!

Thank you for reading!

Enchant with this mauve lippie and work hard to make your dreams come true, even with a midnight curfew.

The tagline and description/introduction of Happy Skin to this specific set! Being Courageous  and Curious is a combination someone needs to become adventurous! And you can be these princesses while wearing their signature color (lip color!) 



The box itself looks so magical! Both Ariel and Cinderella's charms and personality are all properly designed and well shown in the packaging!



Inside, a beautiful quote awaits you in hope that we may be as inspired as these princesses! They are packed together side by side with a royal maroon ribbon on each side of the products to easily lift them from the package!   (will be posting selfies with the lippies soon!)




The Ariel Liquid Lipstick is a red wine/maroon color that brings out the woman and the curious girl in you! Feel professional and playful at the same time with this lovely color!~


The ariel shade also had this really pigmented feel and powedery finish~ the product itself is really think so it's not something you can go overboard with~ but overall, the look of the lipstick makes your lips look full and beautiful~

I took a selfie as well!


(I loved how mature and grown up I look~ finally found a look to gear away from my childlike features, mainly chubby cheeks lol)




The Cinderella Liquid Lipstick has a peachy/mauve color that tilts a little over the nude family~ A fun and girly shade that can make your dreams come true!

Tried the Cinderella Liquid Lipstick the whole day yesterday, and I gotta say, it feels really light on the lips! you won't feel it, it has powdery finish so it's not sticky, and I love how pigmented it is! One other thing is, I love how it doesn't have a weird taste, or any weird smell... I didn't even have to re-apply! It lasted for 9 hours!


Overall, I really love how this collaboration turned out! The product itself doesn't feel sticky on the lips, their very pigmented, and tastes good! (at least for me)  I can confidently say that this is a really good quality lippie that every girl would need on their day trips or night activities!

"Matte up, and Pucker up!" as per Canmake Philippines and introduced this amazing promo for make up lovers! Canmake Philippines currently has an on-going promo (no date as to when it will end or how long this special discount will run) where you can get their Airy Fit Cover Foundation, Candy Wrap Lip Gloss, and their Limited Edition Oil Blotting sheets with gold flakes for only 1,500 php!
When I saw this ad posted, I knew I can't let the opportunity pass, so! I went to one of their branches in Landmar Trinoma, and got me one!


I know it's pretty rare that I do a blog post/review on make up products since I hardly buy any, but I've been seeing my fellow Kawaii PH Bloggers recommend Canmake products and I just wanted to try them as well! Good thing I came across their special promo! it's a good set of products to start with for beginners as well!


Let's start off with their Airy Fit Cover Foundation! They come in separate boxes, one for the case, and one for the product itself, so you'd need to assemble it first, but no worries, it's as easy as 1,2,3...
once you get the product out of the box, you'd need to slowly lift it from the plastic container since there's glue at the bottom so that when you transfer it inside the case, it will surely stick..




The case pattern is simple but also really pretty! I like it! it looks so dainty! I got the lightest tone btw~

Moving on with the Candy Wrap Lip gloss! they actually come in a lot of shades (revolving around reddish pink - peach) but I got this pinky peach color and it's the third darkest shade they have for this collection~




Tried it and it's so pigmented it feels like liquid lipstick, and they taste real good lol not that I'm eating it or anything, but I do like the scent and the taste, it feels a little thick at first so you need to be careful when applying them! I will post my selifes with the products later on!

And finally, their Limited Edition Oil Blotting sheet with Gold Flakes!




it's like a small booklet of oil paper with gold! I feel so regal! I haven't tried this of course, I don't actually buy oil blotting sheets because my face is never really oily, but I do want to try this out so I can't wait till I do and will probably share the feels with you!

Also, they gave me a freebie!



Not really sure how or where to use it, (lol) but it looks super pretty!

Here are a few selfies with the products on!


I didn't use any powder before or after when I applied the foundation, and I also did not apply any concealer, so whatever is on my face, it's just the foundation itself~ not really sure how much I should actually apply, but I just went for a natural look so I guess it looks pretty normal, but smoother, the foundation is pretty easy to use and apply, it's also easy to spread which makes everything so much easier for a beginner like me!

The lip gloss as I have mentioned earlier, is really pigmented that it kind of feels like lipstick because it feels super thick, but the thickness (or feeling of thickness) would subside after a few minutes and my lips felt lighter~



Overall, I think buying these is definitely worth your money, because their easy to use, it's hypoallergenic, and the packaging itself is also super adorable! I'd recommend these to make up loving gals!

You can visit Canmake Philippines in the following branches:
