Nars Powermatte lipstick review, price, demo
PRICE: P1,650
FROM: Free
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available in Rustans and Nars boutiques
THE VERDICT:
2022 has surprisingly treated us to two wonderful lipstick formulas that I believe will set the bar for the upcoming lipstick launches of 2023. I call this the modern matte lipstick: long- lasting, less drying, and performs just as good as liquid lipsticks.
It all started with Dior and Nars has followed suit with the much- awaited follow up to their popular Powermatte liquid lipstick range; introducing Powermatte lipstick, a long- lasting, transfer- resistant lipstick that can withstand face mask usage!
If you're looking for the right gift for your special someone, kid, favorite nephew/niece, look no further, gadget is the answer, particularly a laptop or tablet because these are so necessary nowadays in this age of digital schooling.

Christmas is near and it's the only year when I think I'm going to cram and join the holiday shopping rush because I still have a ton of gifts to buy. Work has just been pretty hectic!
Thank goodness for Watsons and their holiday gift sets, I can do my holiday shopping easily. I'm just too old and tired to brave holiday traffic, both vehicles and human, so I think I'm just going to stick to one store for the rest of my Christmas shopping needs haha!
What's in store for you this holidays at Watsons? A lot! And if you've been meaning to give sustainable, environment- friendly gifts, then Watsons definitely has a lot of choices for you. Check it out!
A few days ago, during the height of 11.11 when influencers are churning out their product reco videos to give viewers ideas on what to buy and another reason to shop, some influencers came out with anti-haul videos. I'm one of the few influencers who first came out with an anti-haul video on Tiktok during 11.11. My intention was to provide balance to hyperconsumerist Tiktok and remind viewers to be smart shoppers, plus it's something that I've been meaning to do for quite a while now on the platform and that is to do seasonal round ups of products that did not really work for me (thought this would just be a fun topic for my account). I just held back because Tiktok viewers can be very flammable and aggressive and I did not want to deal with all the negativity and rude viewers.
Anyway, what made me do it? Tellie Yap, blogger of Beauty By Tellie started the anti-haul vid by discussing the anti-haul subreddits; when I saw it, I took that as a sign to do my anti-haul video; I figured at least there's the two of us who would be stoned on Tiktok LOL.
Now the fun begins.
Byredo La Tulipe EDP review
PRICE: 300SGD (around P10,000-P12,000)
FROM: Byredo, Ngee Ann City, Singapore
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available at byredo.com
THE VERDICT:
One of my agendas in Singapore was to visit Byredo's boutique and grab another perfume of theirs; thought it would be nice to see in the flesh the niche luxury fragrance brand that I have discovered and loved during the height of the lockdown.
During my visit, I realized that Byredo's strength is in the creation of light, fresh, daytime fragrances so I set my mind on getting another daytime perfume to alternate with Bal D' Afrique, but this time, I wanted it to be on the floral side. I whittled my options down to the following: La Tulipe, Flowerhead, and Sundazed, I went for La Tulipe because it's such a beautiful bouquet of white florals and it's just springtime in a bottle.
Ready Set Glow Badass Face and Body Mist review, price, demo
PRICE: P249.00
FROM: Free
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available at Lazada, Shopee, readysetglow.ph, select SM department stores
THE VERDICT:
Ready Set Glow is one of the most promising local beauty brands in my opinion because they make really good products! I've tried all their products ever since they started in 2020 and so far, I like everything!
They have recently released Badass Face and Body Mist and I'm ecstatic about it because a setting mist is one of my makeup staples, especially nowadays when mask usage is a must and makeup just erodes faster because of it. This setting spray is skin care on the go plus it helps makeup adhere better to the skin, thus helping improve its longevity.

Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer review, price, demo
PRICE: P2,750
FROM: Dior Greenbelt 5 boutique
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available at Dior boutiques; Rustans
THE VERDICT:
I just threw away a significant number of concealer tubes because they all went stale and bad because of the lockdown. I was heartbroken because it felt like I had thrown money away. :(
On the other hand, it's also the perfect excuse to buy new concealer. It's starting to feel like circa 2010 again when I started building my beauty wardrobe.
The new addition to my concealer collection is the highly raved Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer. If you have dry skin and you want that extra coverage, then you're reading the right blog post.
