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.

PRODUCT LIST:






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,

Hi My loves,

How was your summer?.. I had tried out this new launched baked eye trio from Mary Kay since March. What I have, was the Electric Spring baked eye trio and the colors were really fit for the spring time.But you can never go wrong with this colors because they are unique and very timeless.It came in with the famous teal and white colors which are very versatile colors for me. If you have been eyeing this stuff like me for a long time, I hope this post would be helpful. Happy Reading!




I love how the packaging has its transparent case that you can see through the plastic what colors you will get. There is also a cute Mary Kay at play logo button which I also adore. At the back side you will be able to see its name and where it is made, which is helpful when you try to remember things right?


You can get this through a Mary Kay beauty consultant. It's retail price is 499 Philippine Pesos.

It is so smooth. The shadows blend easily, very blendable and pigmented. Majority of the shadows have shimmer finish.I love how there is a mix of satin finish and shimmer shadows in there. Although, I would have loved it more if they also throw in some matte eyeshadow on the trio, I tried to mix some of the colors and there was no problem with the color opacity of the shadows. Here are the swatches:



My favorite color was the white eye shadow, it was very shimmery, perfect for the inner eyes. It is also a very versatile color to apply on the crease with a matte neutral eye shadow to create a good make-up look.




I have been liking this trio considering the price that you get. I wished, however, that they would have added more matte and neutral colors on their trio. Hence this is still a sulitpinay YES since its pigmentation is really good with long wear time.

I filmed a make-up tutorial utilizing this trio on my youtube channel. If ever you want to know more about its pigmentation and blendability, you can check it out down below.



I do hope you find this helpful and I will see you guys on my next post. SEE you!


LOVE,
