Luxe Beauty Products I'm Digging


I really enjoyed the last month of 2015 because for some reason, the universe decided to give almost the entire month to me as my rest month and boy, I was so grateful; I had the time to catch up on my workouts, spend time with my family, friends, and furry friends, and play with my precious makeups. The past year was all about discovering what the drugstore brands had to offer; it was a great year of discovery that I've almost forgotten about my luxury makeups! Ack! :p

So today, I wanna talk about the luxury beauty products that I started digging at the mid to latter part of 2015 until now.

1. Ciaté Knight In Shining Armour Overnight Nail Mask

- I am very prone to dry cuticles and they can get really painful when they build up. Ciaté's nail mask helps me combat that sans the fuss.

2. Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Concealer and Corrector

- This skin soothing, hydrating, concealing, and correcting duo conceals lightly (literally and figuratively), plus I like the light, emulsion- like consistency; really helps hydrate the under eye area!


- This divine, lavish oil is fit for a queen; it totally pampers my skin after a hard day's work and lets me wake up to smooth, sexy, glowing skin.


- I've learned to appreciate this eye shadow primer-cum-eyelid lotion (feels like that!) just recently because I realized, it helps smooth the eyelid area and yields a nice cooling effect.

5. Jo Malone

- Now that they have opened a flagship store in Manila, the lemming to complete at least a Jo Malone collection of 6 has gotten stronger. Jo Malone remains as one of my favorite fragrance makers!

6. Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color

- Cream Eyeshadow is basically an essential in my semi-corporate life now (I say semi because I own the business and I can somehow set the rules. :D) because I can apply it even when I'm on the go! When attending special occasions for my friends and family, I like wearing a sheer cream shadow to accentuate my eyes and I get that effect from Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color.


- Just rediscovered this product of mine and I'm reminded of how wonderful Nars's products and color selections are.


- Another rediscovery and like Nars, I'm once again reminded why Chanel is charging a hefty premium for these blushes and why it's worth it!


- Maquillage is a fairly new beauty brand locally and it got my attention quickly because the products are classy-cute, but the products are tough enough to withstand a busy woman's sched.

10. Atkinson's 24 Old Bond Street

- Perhaps the best unisex fragrance that has touched my skin and nose. I feel so snazzy whenever I'm wearing this perfume!

Do you spot anything that you want to try from my list? What are your luxe beauty products faves?

    1. You're welcome. Chanel blushes are really good and I'd recommend them if you want to splurge on a blush. :)

  3. I wanted to try Benefit Air Patrol since last year because there are so many awesome reviews about it. My Luxe products would be MAC lipsticks - you can never go wrong with them plus I love the vanilla scent when applied on thr lips. Also Lanaige BB Cushion Pore Control is am amazing product because I use them everyday since last year and it was great, I'm on my second refill now. And lastly the NARS blush in Orgasm, because even though there are a ton of dupe products for this one, I will always love this blush.

  4. wishlist na sana hindi hanggang wish na lang. :)) : Ciaté Knight In Shining Armour Overnight Nail Mask, Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Concealer and Corrector, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, Jo Malone, and Atkinson's 24 Old Bond Street. hehehe. sa tingin ko worth it talaga bumili ng branded perfumes kasi they can last a long time sa skin/clothes mo. no need to re-spray many times. :)

  9. I consider the likes of MAC, Bobbi Brown and NARS as luxe items for me since I'm more of a practical girl and as much as possible I'll try to find a drugstore dupe for any luxe brand out there. That being said, I'd like to try those just to compare the quality from the products that I already have.

    1. Hope you can try them soon. :) Meanwhile, MAC, Bobbi, and Nars, I consider luxe too just because of the pricing; anything beyond 1k to me is luxe! :D

  10. I wonder kung ano yung amoy ng Jo Malone. I love the benefit Air Patrol!! The price is worth it!

    1. Smells really fresh and unique because this brand uses single notes for their fragrances only (and that's why you combine Jo Malone fragrances). :)

  11. Hi Martha! Do you use the Nuxe Dry Oil to your face ba? Like a moisturiser? Or sa katawan lang? I recently bought one and I plan to try it as a replacement to my argan oil (as moisturiser). Any thoughts on this?

    1. I tried it once and it's great; just as moisturizing as my regular face oils, but I find its scent a bit too strong when it's finally on the face so I just use it on my body. :)

  12. So much luxury products to try out. I also want to try those. But as of the moment I'm leaning towards limited edition makeup palettes. :D

    1. Well, that's okay; these will always be around; the LE palettes won't be. :)

  13. I've only learned from this post that there's such a thing as nail mask! #beautybeginnerproblems
