Acids have been nothing but life- changing for me. It was my last resort during a severe breakout last 2019, but it turned out to be the best skin care decision I have made. I was apprehensive towards acid usage because the word ACID alone scared me, but I had no choice because the skin care products I was using weren't yielding favorable results anymore. In just a week, acids restored my skin to its former glory and for nearly a year now, acids have been part of my daily routine.
However.

THE VERDICT:
About a month ago, EB Advance has released Power Paint, one of their much- anticipated releases for the strong and growing tint- loving population. EB Advance takes off from the usual fresh finish of tints and takes it up a notch with a multitasking pigment that is so pigmented and water- resistant to boot, it opens up a myriad of creative possibilities for any makeup lover. I've been trying it out recently and here's what I think about the product!
Hello, TBJ Beshies! Sorry I have been MIA yesterday because a messaging app installed in my laptop all of a sudden went bonkers; it kept on restarting and quitting on its own, which disabled my capacity to do anything on it-I couldn't even do force quit I decided to have it serviced yesterday because it.cannot.die; it's free anyway lo!
Anyhoo! Sharing with four of my super faves the the month of September 2020!
Benefit Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation 5 review, price, swatch
PRICE: P2,100
FROM: Free
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available in Benefit Cosmetics boutiques; Lazada; Beauty MNL; Zalora
THE VERDICT:
You know why I love stick foundation next to liquid? It is because it is one of the most versatile formats of foundation known to wo(men); it can be a corrector, concealer, and primer on top of being a foundation as its form makes it flexible enough to be applied wherever and on top of everything, it is so darn handy and travel- friendly. So whenever I gather that a brand has a new stick foundation, my radar gets active.
Benefit Cosmetics has just released a new member of the Hello Happy foundation family called Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation, a foundation that promises to stay light and stay put, plus protects you from the sun too!
Less three months to go before Christmas! Wow, 2020 has just passed us by-LITERALLY. I hope you Beshies are still holding up and are still okay and most importantly, healthy.
Just passing by the blog today to share with you the commenter of the month
I guess the face mask is going to be a daily staple in the next one to two years and this, of course, will limit our capability to express ourselves through a full makeup look.
But don't forget that our eyes are still free, the new normal makeup canvas that will entice and encourage us to explore the hundreds of colorful possibilities.
That said, I'm sharing with you through a fresh Youtube video some of my favorite ways to use classic and colored eyeliners. Eyeshadow can come later!
And just when I thought 2020 would be completely bad, it turned around completely because one of the most awaited events of me and the TBJ Beshies of the year has finally pushed through. It has been a long, emotional journey: from ups and downs, sadness, hope, frustration, and anxieties yet we have triumphed over everything and TBJ 11th Mega Anniversary has materialized. Let's do a flashback this Friday and reminisce the wonderful highlights of the biggest celebration of The Beauty Junkee and TBJ Beshies this year!
ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD
I came across this quote on Facebook and I'm reminded again of the beauty of the human will-it is fluid and indefatigable, always beaten up, but never defeated, our inner light in the tunnel that gives us that ray of hope so we can always rise and try again.
2020 is a very bad year-there I said it; no sugarcoating anything because really, it is a bad year. But one thing I learned in all my experiences in life is a new day will always come that brings new beginnings, new opportunities, and new possibilities-ALWAYS.
So I look forward starting today; I accept the situation, forgive the conditions that I am in, and I am grateful for whatever blessing and privilege, big or small, that I have and come my way.

THE VERDICT:
Do you get those moments this quarantine wherein you have to put on makeup for an important event like a big zoom meeting, a livestream, a quick pop into a physical lunch meeting, an online class, or any event that requires you to prep your face with makeup? I have a lot of those moments lately so it inspired a new set of makeup in my dresser, the I-AM-LAZY-TO-PUT-ON-MAKEUP-TODAY makeup kit LOL.
I have recently discovered these new products by W7 Cosmetics that perfectly fit the bill and it's so great for those moments when you need to put on makeup, but you're in a hurry, don't have time, or are simply lazy to get out of bed and fix your face. :D
Just a couple of hauls and cool discoveries of mine over the last two weeks. I've also been working real hard--like 'almost no sleep hard' since August because of the anniversary and now, my business. It's tiring, but we gotta do what we need to do to somehow make the most out of this pandemic.
Here are some stuff from the last couple weeks; some are necessities and one is a treat to myself. <3 I also have a cool new discovery and it's by one of my go- to supermarket brands, Puregold!
