DiorSkin Extreme Wear Foundation + Haul Time! :)

hello everyone!
today i'll share my very delayed thoughts about DiorSkin Extreme Wear Foundation :)
i use the shade 040 Honey Beige ( btw, i am nc40-42 in mac ^_^)

description of DiorSkin Extreme Wear Foundation from sephora.com: 
This luxurious foundation stays flawlessly smooth and looks naturally perfect in any environment. With two unique innovations: an exclusive nano-stretch network inspired by nano-textile technology to insure makeup will fit like a second skin and a unique hydra-gel moisture-stabilizing system, Dior takes smoothing, wear, and comfort to the ultimate extreme of beauty. Non-transfer and waterproof. 

sounds perfect, right? :p heehee

what i love..
it has SPF 25, it is really non transfer, and it does last for a long time :) oh, i also love that it has a pump! this foundation gives a beautiful finish,it gives medium coverage that is not too heavy or cakey.it actually feels very light on my face! it doesn't break me out too :)  i love using my sigma SS190 brush and my fingers when applying this foundation :) i've read that some hate the scent it has but i don't seem to have any problem with it.


what i don't like..
i still need concealer for the uber dark spot on my forehead. and that's it.:p

overall i think this is a pretty good foundation however my no.1 would still be NARS Sheer Glow.
they're pretty close but for me Sheer Glow provides a lovelier finish :)
but hey, that's just for me. heehee try it and maybe it could be HG material for you ^_^

New Love + FOTD :)

its my new love...

ta-dah! a canon powershot G11! :)) i love love love it so much.. it is an advanced digital camera, i guess its a good start for learning advanced photography. it has lots of features (that i still need to discover :p) it takes very nice quality pictures perfect for blogging. yey! the camera itself is oh-so cute :) it looks like a mini dslr. i would love to own a dslr but i don't like the fact that its too bulky to carry around; that's why im really happy with my cute and compact G11  :)

and i also love the fact that i can turn the lcd up to 360 degrees. its perfect for my self portrait shots! :p

Surprising Favorites + F21 Haul

i have a bad habit of buying random stuffs all the time.stuffs that i don't actually need or stuffs that i am just curious about. BUT surprisingly, i found 3 favorites from the random stuffs that i bought recently:

A Bonne' Milk Power Salt Scrub

-OMG, this product smells amazing! it smells like white chocolate and milk :) every time i use it i am always tempted to taste it haha. this stuff is superb in exfoliating. i use this 2-3x a week by mixing it with my j&j milk bath and its all good. :)

Zwitsal Baby Cologne

-i discovered this product from a friend, she told me that this cologne is a very good dupe for bvlgari petit et mamans perfume, and she's right! this baby smells clean and fresh :) .. i bought mine from a natasha direct seller (im not sure if this is available at department stores) for only Php80+ , its really a good buy!! now my sister is asking me to get one for her too! :)

Sunsilk Damage Repair Hair Serum

-my hair got so damaged last summer and until now it is still on its recovering period. and this hair serum really works on providing moisture to my dry hair. i love the fact that i can put this in my bag and just apply when my hair gets unmanageable :) the skin areas near my hairline (top of the forehead, nape, side of the ears) are quite sensitive, they breakout easily when strong hair products reach them and im glad that this hair serum does not break me out :)


a couple of weeks ago, my family went to forever21 :) i got very nice deals of clothes. my mom, my sister, and even my little brother enjoyed shopping there haha. here are the stuffs that i got


over sized sunnies - this makes me feel very victoria beckham-ish haha.

earrings - my camera can't capture the gold and pink hues of these earrings :( love them! they compliment my medium dark skin really well :)

2 pairs of jeggings - i love jeggings, they're so comfortable and very figure friendly *wink*. and i love these jeggings so much because they really look like regular jeans :)

a maxi dress - love love the design of this dress!

and an i love the night life tee :))

i'll definitely go back for more f21! :)

what are your new raves lately? share 'em! :)

thanks for visiting pretty!
see you around!

New Lip Combo :)

hello everyone!

i hope you're having a fantastic monday ^_^ 

let me share a new lip combination that im really loving right now. its MAC Shy Girl lipstick topped with NARS Chelsea Girls lip lacquer. i have to admit, im not a fan of MAC Shy Girl l/s before because i thought the shade is not a good match for me but i think im starting to like it.:))  plus my Shy Girl melted a bit on its tube that's why i don't use it that much. :c

however when i got chelsea girls few weeks ago, i thought that it would be a nice gloss on top of shy girl.. they almost look the same, its just chelsea girls has more pink tones while shy girl has more peachy tones.
chelsea girls also looks milky when applied and i like the effect it gives :)

 

it definitely looks a lot better in real life :)) haha.

have a fabulous month of August pretty!

xoxo,
