I realize, as I’m typing the title that the I’ve been using the “Hearts/Farts” category for reviews for several years now! I used to say hearts if I love, or farts if I hate the product . But things aren’t so black and white anymore, or at least I’ve matured enough to recognise it. Some … Continue reading
HI GUYS, am back from a month long stay in Indonesia! But as the title of this post suggests, this isn’t about that. I seem to have this weird habit of not talking about my travels immediately after I return. I feel like I wanted to experience to sink in a bit more, to percolate … Continue reading
Though I’m admittedly not as bloggerly as I used to, I’m grateful for brands like Revlon for still sending stuff my way. If you’ve been reader of this blog for a while, you’d know that I shy away from overly commercial content, and I never get compensated (with money) for anything I post. Not that … Continue reading
Here’s something spiffy for the new year! The new Revlon Eyes, Cheeks + Lips Palette offers a complete look in a pinch! It’s a compact with 6 eyeshadow powders, a blush, 2 lipsticks and 2 lip glosses, all in universally flattering shades. Revlon PH (@revlonph on IG) sent me the 100 Romantic Nudes Set, and I wanna … Continue reading
Like most of my stuff, I’ve had these for months—well not all at the same time! I got one from Bangkok, and seeing that it was good stuff, I sought out other shades here in Manila. Of course you already know that Matte Me are Sleek’s liquid lipsticks..in fact, they’re one of the first brands … Continue reading
I feel guilty saying this out loud, but this blog ranks lowest in my priorities. Nowadays, committing to post regularly is nearly impossible and to be honest, I really haven’t identified as a blogger even after years of keeping this space. I’m a beauty fan, that’s what I am. And I would love it if … Continue reading
I really hope you’re following me on Instagram ((at)anartechoke), otherwise I would feel so guilty leaving you out here in the cold (aka blogsite). I’ve been posting plenty there and have even started publishing my IG “stories”. Anyway, I’ve been gushing about the not so new but newly released here lipstick colors from the Maybelline … Continue reading
Today, I have four lipsticks in the Lineup, two pinks and two reds. And what’s even more exciting for me is that they’re mattes! I remember when it was almost impossible to get a decent matte lipstick from the drugstore–where lipsticks are concerned, matte is mum. Nobody wants flat looking lips! I had to seek … Continue reading
The title should actually read Guerlain Meteorites Baby Glow Light Revealing Sheer Makeup–a mouthful, I know, that’s why I snipped it. It seems that when Guerlain set out to produce what would be a liquid version of those mythic Meteorites pearls, they weren’t able to control themselves and just put everything in there! Guerlain Meteorites … Continue reading
Whew, did that title twist your tongue or what?! The Guerlain Rouge G L’Extrait is a semi-new line of lipsticks which apply like gloss yet set like lipstick. ‘Semi-new’ because with the proliferation of liquid lipsticks in the market now, this form of lip product doesn’t surprise any more. But when launched in 2012, this … Continue reading
