Hello My loves,


I could not believe how happy I am to write a Sulitpinay review post again. It has been forty years (just kidding) since I wrote my last Sulitpinay review.  (I know) I am so sorry sisters and I will not even try to make excuses this time.Writing this post brings back a lot of good memories to be honest. I just realized how much happiness it gives me every time. It is like I am in a happy place. Why did I ever stopped?

Anyways, Summer is upon us and a lot of brands are launching products with SPF in their line. One of which is the Fashion 21. I am a bit delayed in trying out this product to be honest. It has been in Filipino markets for a while now and I just kept passing it up. Until a reader asked me to try this out. Say no more love, Myra is here for you. Enough blabbering, Let's get right into the review.


A brief background about the product, Fashion 21 Ultimate Cover BB cream and concealer has hit the stores last year.You can check out their website for more information. It does offer SPF 30 which is very timely for the summertime here in the Philippines. It also promises full coverage battling sweat and humidity. In addition, it has a lightweight formula while providing ultimate cover. Sounds promising, now let us put this baby on the road test.

Full photo of the Ultimate cover.

The product comes in a squeeze tube and a twist lift off cap that contains the concealer. I always appreciate companies producing products that are 2 in 1. It has the BB cream on the tube and the concealer at it's cap. I love the brown and black color combo wrapped around it's tube.

I used this twice already but just look at the cap.

One thing, I have noticed was the cap can get easily tainted with the concealer so you might want to be extra careful recapping it.

Shade number one.

The shade number sticker can be easily ripped off from the tube as well. Good thing, It has the shade number on the box which I believe is doomed for throwing as well. It has three shades ( 1 being the lightest up and 3 as the darkest shade). The one that I got was shade number 1.

Let me smell this one first.

It has a very subtle jasmine smell. The smell isn't overpowering at all especially when applied to the face.

This costs 225 Philippine pesos and  is available in all watsons nationwide.

The price for this 2 in 1 product is 225 Philippine pesos. From my own point of view, this is very affordable and very fit for beauties with a tight budget.

The consistency was neither very thick nor thin. BB creams are known to have thin consistency with less coverage. This product offers ultimate cover, hence, I had high hopes. But considering the lightweight formula, I had a little doubt to be honest.

The consistency of the BB cream and concealer.

The concealer on top is a little bit thick in comparison to the BB cream in terms of consistency. It is also more opaque. It was written on the box that we can use both products either alone or in combination with each other.

I tried different types of application.

Application wise, the BB cream was easy to apply but the concealer applies otherwise. I was having difficulty applying it with a sponge.I tried methods of application like tapping motion, stippling it and also applying it with my fingers motion. The best method to apply it, is the tapping motion for the concealer and using a sponge for the BB cream. That will make your application easier. For the concealer, I had some difficulty in blending it on my skin which is very inconvenient and time-consuming on my part. It was not my plan to sit for hours just trying to blend it in. In addition, I also want to put out there that you need to set this product with a powder since its finish is not matte.

Half of my face was lighter and I still can see some of my imperfections on the other half where I applied the product

Six hours total after my application, there is definitely diminished coverage on my nose and forehead.  I normally have this issue when using face products but this particular product feels heavy for some reason. Since I have a combination to oily skin, the dry part of my face which is the jaw area has still some medium coverage though. For it's total time wear, I can say that It didn't stay longer as I have hoped for.


Given the price, It is really budget friendly which is good for our "sulitpinay"pockets. In addition,  I love trying out products that are two in one.  BB cream and concealer in one was such a cool idea. Unfortunately, it didn't lived up to my expectations. It wasn't ultimate cover at all. In fact, it was low on coverage. I had trouble with the concealer on its first day of application. I made a mistake of applying it over my undereye circles ( Obviously, that area needed some concealing). It's thick consistency made that area crease badly. Experience is the best teacher afterall. The concealer settled on the textures of my face and made my pores visible. I thought to myself maybe I need to exfoliate my face first. I did that and had given it two more days before reaching out for this product. When I applied it again for the second time. It settled again on the crevices, fine lines and emphasizes the textures on my face which unfortunately, not what I was going for. I discovered that it doesn't look good when applied in combo as well.

Considering the price, you definitely get what you pay for. Maybe it wasn't just for me. I had some issues regarding with its application and longevity. I am extra picky with my face products because I do have special needs in terms of my skin. But if you are just trying out or you have no skin issues going on maybe this may work for you. May I suggest to hold on to your 225 pesos and save for a "less paasa" but can deliver more face product.

And that is it for my Sulitpinay review, as usual all are honest opinions from me. This review was based solely from my own experience.This product may not work for me but may work for you. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed reading . I love you and see you on my next Sulitpinay post.

Stay Sulit pinay!

Hi my loves,


Although it wasn't at all spring here in the Philippines but we pinays love to always "redo" our vanity. Talk about Spring cleaning for that matter. Clearing out my pile of product used-ups was a bit fulfilling for me to be honest. Maybe it was the "nurse"in me. Anyways, I recently stumbled upon my bag of empties and I thought to myself" Why didn't I ever filmed an empties video?" I knew that I'm going to film this video and so they were just sitting in my vanity taking a lot of space. I do enjoy watching these kind of videos on Youtube. Finally, I managed to film and was able to get rid of them at last.

For this Sulitpinay episode, I am going to talk about products that I have accumulated for the past year. There are products that for sure I'm going to repurchase but there were also products that I am very happy to part ways. Another is that, the pictures that I will be incorporating here are the snaps from my very own product empties video which I have uploaded on youtube. I think it is something new and not very traditional. Without any other interruption, here are the empties;

Product list:

1. Vaseline Healthy White UV Lightening Lotion



There was a time in my life that the only lotion I was using was Vaseline. I did give this one a try and yes it delivered. But It was just that "OKAY" product that you can live without. I don't see myself repurchasing this for the next month since I am still inlove with the Nivea Extra White Firming body serum.

2. Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation



This mineral powder foundation offers light to medium coverage. There were days that I don't want to don on heavy foundation and this was always my go-to foundation. If you want more coverage this might not work for you. I never use it whenever my face was acting up. Definitely, I will repurchase this all over again.

3.Dream White Kojie-san soap


No joke, I have been using this product for two years now. I went back and forth with the other kojie-san soap which was also one of  my favorite. I don't consider my self as a fair person but in comparison with my skin before, I can definitely say that my skin has lightened. Definitely, I will repurchase this one.

4.Avon Skin So Soft whitening face cream.



I love trying out whitening face products with SPF that is why when I spotted this from the brochure, I immediately ordered one. This was not a bad product at all. I have super sensitive skin and it has given me a bit of texture on my nose and forehead. I know this was the product that had given me texture because, when I stopped using this, the texture was also gone. But if your not sensitive as I am, this product can really lighten your face.This may work for you. But for me, I am not going to repurchase this again. Although, I am still open in trying out Avon products. They have a great variety of skin care essentials which I am looking forward to.

5.Bench Bay Bambino and Penshoppe Fruit fave in" watermelon".


These two colognes were my all time favorites. They also smell very differently. The Bench Bambino smells like straight up from a baby's neck. It smells heavenly.It has a subtle smell which I am crazy about. The Penshoppe fruit fave has also a very fruity smell. This smells like a watermelon in a nice kind of way. What I like about this is that it's odor is really long lasting. Definitely, I will repurchase these two.

6.Mary Kay Liquid eyeliner pen


Not too crazy about this product. I don't know if I have gotten a bad one but this liner was patchy and very streaky. It also gave me panda eyes at the end of the day. It's pigmentation was also missing in action. From my experience, I am not going to repurchase this one to be honest. I tried some of the eyeliner pencils from Mary Kay and they worked like heaven. They are very creamy and I had no issue with the pigmentation. Go get those if your contemplating to buy one.

7. Dove Whitening Deodorant in "Original"


This is one of the basic necessities that I have in here. It simply the best in the market.This is antiperspirant and prevents underarm darkening. I will repurchase this for sure.

8.Avon Naturals  Face Care UV Protector


From my experience, this clogged my pores. I also had a few pimples in the area where I applied this cream. This has sun protection which was good. But other than that, I will not be reaching for this product ever again.

9.Avon Ideal White in "Beige Ochre"


This powder works like magic. This has  medium coverage and can be applied wet or dry. It instantly whitens your face and can blur out any imperfections on your face.It has also SPF which I love. I have been raving for this products since 2009. I need this in my life for sure.

10.Bobbie Nail Polish Remover


 I never use any other nail polish remover other than this. It removes your nail polish in seconds. It is a product that I go back and forth. Definitely, I will repurchase this one.

11. Avon Lip and Cheek tint



This product brings back a lot of memories. I used this since 2007. Back when I was working as a  staff nurse, I would apply this one and I am good to go. What I like about this is that it doesn't need touch-ups. It lasts until the end of the day,I promise. I am planning to buy another one of this and I also want to try the Ever Bilena lip and cheek tint.

12. Mary Kay True Dimension Lipstick in "Firecracker"


I have saved the BEST for last.  I will never be ashamed of recommending this product because it works wonders. It is so pigmented, very buttery formula and moisturizes your lips like Mahatma Gandhi with his words. It glides very smoothly when applied on the lips. It is also very lightweight  and it's as if you are wearing butter on your lips. This lipstick is so luxurious. I love this!

And that is it for my Sulitpinay post. I hoped that I have given you different insights about these products. I kept them all solely for the purpose of showing you gals. As I have discussed, some of the products mentioned may not work for me but may work for you. Every individual is unique and lovely I believed.  Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed reading.

 I also have a youtube video uploaded here where I talked about these products more in detail.


I love you and Magandang Buhay!!! ( Have a happy life!).
What are your fave products this year?. Comment down below.

Hi my loves!

It's Myra again!




Summer came early this year in the Philippines. Because this post is all about my summer essentials plus a summery make-up look. I always think of the sun, and those flash parties we used to go during summertime. I was inspired by the sun and it's golden glory in creating this make-up tutorial.This look is perfect for prom, graduation or any  occasion. You can also wear it with everything ( I promise). I hope you enjoy!

Let us start!

I also did the honors to groom and shape my eyebrows. I used the Ever Bilena pencil for this step. I have a video tutorial for my easy eyebrow routine. For summertime, I highly recommend that you use an eyebrow gel.This is to make your eyebrow color stay longer. I wasn't able to put on one because I lost mine when I was filming this. The sun can melt your strongest product so better set it with some brow support in the form of brow gel.




For my eyes, I used the reddish brown color on my AIDO make-up kit. This was my transition color. I applied it over my crease but leaving the center of the lids untouched. For the lids, I used my Avon dual-ended product to act as a base. I immediately applied "Gold Coast" from Mary Kay on top of it. This was like putting sunshine on my lids. I lined my eyes with that same brown eyeliner from ever bilena because I was going for a softer look in this tutorial.




Lastly, for my lips, I am making use of  "Shell" by Mary Kay. This is the perfect nude to compliment the eyes. I also tried it with red and it was also a hit!

Here are the complete list of Products that I have used in this tutorial:

• AIDO Classic Makeup Kit
• Ever Bilena HD Eyebrow liner
• Avon Smooth Minerals blush in "blushed"
• Mary Kay Timewise Foundation
• Nichido Clear Eyebrow gel
• Mary Kay Creme lipstick in " Shell"
• Mary Kay "Gold Coast"

It was really fun creating this look. It is fool proof and very easy to recreate.  I would also love if you would subscribe to my channel if you aren't already. Thank you for reading and I will see you gals on my next blog post! 


Loving Always,

Hi my loves!

Happy New Year everyone! Cheers to 2016! I know it's going to be an exciting and prosperous year for all of us. Claim it and you shall have it. Today's make-up tutorial is all about my eyebrow routine. It's very easy and I am using only one brow product in this tutorial which I think is very practical.

 If you are shaping your eyebrows for the first time, here are three tips that might be handy for you.


1.Virgin eyebrows should be done professionally. 

Seek the help of an eyebrow expert before getting your eyebrows touched.They will create a good guide for you to follow. They will show you what eyebrow shape is good for your face. They will tell you what products are good for your brows. It's affordable here in the Philippines but if its expensive from where you live, I'm sure it will be worth it.

2. How not to overpluck your eyebrows. 

Some of your eyebrow hairs will not regrow to be honest. To avoid sparse eyebrows, make an outline first and only pluck the outside hairs. Use an eyebrow razor to clear the unnecessary hairs. In this way, you will not risk yourself overplucking them. They say less is more. The less you touched them the more hairs you'll have.

3. Watch tutorials.

Not trying to advertise my video but it really helps to watch these kinds of video. Like when you are shading, filling in and grooming your eyebrow hairs, there are tons of video about this on Youtube. Believe me, back in the day, I have poorly groomed eyebrows and what I did was watch videos and practice. I certainly don't have perfect eyebrows now but I love the way my eyebrows look in comparison to my eyebrows before.

PICTURES FROM THE  VIDEO TUTORIAL:



I love New Year's Eve because It gives me that hope that was lost during my previous year. It was a tough year for me because my grandma died and work related problems came up. But I am always grateful that I was given a fresh new year to love and to embrace my life. I know there is a negative notion about resolutions but make it if you want it. I do not make expectations of myself but I certainly make a TO DO list for myself. If I wasn't able to accomplish it that day,then maybe tomorrow would be a better day.



I hope this video helps and I'll see you gals on my next post.


Love you,
