Product Review: Starlooks May Starbox

 photo WelcomeSTARLOOKSCOM_zps3fd9101b.png

Yes, I know I realize it is already the second (2nd) of October and here I am sharing you a Starlooks May Starbox make-up kit. It may be the fall now, but it is never too late to share with you the make-up I got from Starlooks. Their May Starbox make-up collection consisted of Brow shader, Silk Rose Blush Compact and the "Cinnamon Toss" Eye Pigment. I love this collection, a lot! 

Look how fancy looking the Starlooks box is. I love it!

May Starbox
Includes our "Emphasize" Cream Blusher, our "BS443" Brow Shader, and our "Cinnamon Toss" Eye Pigment! 

May - Tribal
Our May Starbox Look is all about accessorizing… but with makeup! We’re all comfortable with neutrals and wear them on a daily basis.

Facts about Starlooks:
- Certain Starlooks color cosmetics are custom-created for Starlooks by revising and improving existing ingredients such as content, colors, polymers, etc., based on our and the chemist’s recommendations. Starlooks decides when to change the names of the lab’s stock products or components for these products as a secondary priority – based on cost. Our brushes – which are NOT custom manufactured - are chosen carefully by our manufacturer. However Starlooks provides input as to the quality of these tools, making sure that they are manufactured to our satisfaction before we sell them. Our opinion is that these tools FAR surpass most others sold.

To be honest, I have been using my May Starbox make-up a lot ever since I got it. It's been four (4) months since I got this in the mail and to me, it is a perfect make-up for on-the-go or traveling moms. It is light and compact that I don't have to lug in a huge make-up kit with me because this is all I need. I am a SAHM to two kids so I don't have a huge amount of time to be fixing myself so a quick make-up session will do. And I can achieve that look with the help of this kit. 

Since I am blessed with no-full brows, I have to shape my brows first before I get out of the house or else I won't feel like my my make-up is complete (which I don't really put on a whole lot). My "BS442" Brow Shader that I got from Starlooks does the job for me. It also came in with its own little brow brush. How handy!

- I use two shades when I shape my brows. First is the darker brown for the inside corner of my brows, then I work my way up to the outside corner of my brows with the black shade. I like to sport a fuller looking brow because as they say, fuller brows can help you look younger. You know why? Because just like babies, they don't pluck their brows. You know what I mean? 

- The lighter shade to the top left I use to highlight my brow bone and it also helps me after I shape my brows to clean up some messes and you get that nicely shaped brows.)

- Starlooks May Starbox make-up is not only for daytime use, but you can also use it to create a night time look, which is a wonderful thing to have such a versatile make-up kit.

- I love the Starlooks Silk Rose blush because once I put it on my cheeks, it doesn't dry up my skin, instead it gives me that nice glow healthy looking skin. It's a must-try!

Product Review: Enhance Your Beauty With Mineral Hygienics

 photo ChooseYourSkinToneClickonthethumbnailsNaturalMineralMakeupbyMineralHygienicsRated1_zps32045bc0.png

About two months ago, the people of the Mineral Hygienics were so wonderful when they sent me a few beauty items, particularly some Mineral Make-Up Foundation and a Full Coverage Kabuki Brush.

I have mentioned before that I am not a fan of using foundation because I don't like the feeling of foundation on my skin and the way it looks. I would rather just go with the eye concealer, shape my brows, eyeliner, lip moisturizer or a little bit of lipstick and I am good to go. But when I had the chance to try the Mineral Hygienics product, I was very impressed. I love that it is in a loose powder form and to me it is easy to apply on my skin and I am surprised at how it doesn't leave my face dry and flaky. The Mineral Hygienics foundation is light and smooth on my skin and it stays on the whole day without having to retouch my makeup. 

Whenever I use the Mineral Hygienics foundation, I would apply a little bit of the product on my face, then I would slowly add some more if I needed to. Usually I would end up using a little bit of the powder because just like it says, a little goes a long ways. I don't like to put on a heavy foundation and I like to keep it natural looking as much as possible. So far, Mineral Hygienics is the only foundation I have in my beauty kit right now. The reason why I picked out two different tones- the Light Tan and the Medium Tan because my Filipina skin tends to be lighter during the colder months, and tanned during the warmer months. I am a happy and satisfied customer with the foundation I got, but I have a little bit of a problem with the Kabuki brush. The Kabuki brush tends to fray whenever I use it and little bits of hair get all over my face, but other than that I love the Mineral Hygienics product. And yes, I would recommend it to people who are looking for some natural cosmetics that are absolutely wonderful. It is worth the hype! 

- I don't have any skin irritation or breakouts when using the product. 
- A little foundation goes a long way. 
- Based on my own experience, the Mineral Hygienics foundation stays on the whole day without touch-up. 
- It is Made In The USA.

Aside from getting the Light and Medium Tan Foundation, they also sent me the Silk Translucent Finishing Powder, and Warm Kiss Mineral Enhancer. The Silk Translucent is perfect for finishing your makeup and makes your skin look silky smooth, while the Warm Kiss Mineral Enhancer gives you that healthy sun-kissed glow to your skin without being too exposed to the harmful rays of the sun.
