Le Beauty Diaries: Pinkies Collection Eyebrow Cake

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Besides your hairstyle, your eyebrows frame your face and that's why you should always groom your brows beautifully. I've always like doing my eyebrows. I think whenever you have good eyebrows,  your look is more put together and polished.

I'm an eyebrow pencil kinda girl since its much easier to use but I'm also getting the hang of using an eyebrow cake lately. Now, I've talked about how great Pinkies Collection brand is and how I loved their BB Cream Foundation. Well, the next thing that I love besides their BB Cream Foundation is their Eyebrow Cake which is also a good buy for only Php 169. For that affordable price, you get 2 shades already and mine was EBC-03 which is half blonde, half brunette.

Like I said, Pinkies Collection is a great brand so this time, I wasn't surprised that the cake is highly pigminted, the shade suits me and it stays for hours. 

Swatches

I like using the brunette shade on the center to the tip of my brows then the blonde shade in the front to center of my brows. It blends perfectly. Amazing product!

Le Beauty Diaries: Pinkies Collection BB Cream Foundation

I am a fan of BB Creams. I've been using my Fairydrops BB Cream for almost 3 months now and I so looove it but being the hauler that I am, I always like to try out new things and Pinkies Collection Makeup and its cute pink packaging didn't escape my sight. 

Pinkies Collection used to be known as Pinkie Swear Cosmetics but since they have the same name of a California based makeup brand, they changed their name and logo as well. Pinkies Collection is a sister company of James Cooper Makeup targeted for a younger market. Hence, the adorable pink packaging and its cheaper price. The collection is also made in France.

The brand houses different cosmetics from cream foundation to loose mineral powder to lipsticks but their BB Cream Foundation (30ml) is the most talked about item from their collection. 

Pinkies Collection BB Cream Foundation Php 299

They only have 2 shades for their BB Cream Foundation and mine was BBCF-01 which is the lighter shade of the two. 

To be honest, I was not expecting much from this BB Cream Foundation since it was only Php 299 but boy, I was wrong. The coverage surprised me. It has a great coverage. It covered my acne spots, redness and even the scar on my forehead pretty well and it doesn't feel that heavy. The consistency is quite thicker than the usual BB Creams and the shade was not grayish or whitish at all. It was definitely a bang for the buck kinda buy and would absolutely purchase this again.

The only thing is that they claim it to be a BB Cream when it doesn't say in the packaging that it has any skin benefits at all. Its actually more of a foundation than a BB Cream. So if you're looking for an spf or a whitening effect then this is not what you're looking for but still, I love it for the amazing coverage and shade alone.

Le Belly Diaries: 24 weeks

Hello darlings!

I have not been blogging for almost forever since there had been way too many things that happened this month. From the fiance's admittance in the hospital (He's fine now.. Thank God! :] ), check-ups and what-nots and a wonderful wedding of my dear friends, Cris and Jay. 

I was pretty much preoccupied the whole month as you can tell. And as much as I am a busy bee, my little bubba in my belly is also as busy as me or probably even much busier than I am. My munchkin is getting bigger and rounder by the day. So cute! And according to my trusty iPhone app, What To Expect Pregnancy, my bubba is already as big as an Eggplant (9in, 1.7 lbs). Yay! 

 

We were supposed to have an ultrasound last weekend to determine the gender of my baby but we weren't able to go to the hospital. Getting it done by this weekend though. I'm super excited!!

Here is moi and Jet at our friends' wedding.

My FOTD for my friend's wedding. Officially 23 weeks and 5 days here.

Le Delish Diaries: Mr. Jones Greenbelt 5

Me and my fiance Jet would go out on weekends for our usual weekend date. We wanted to try something new, somewhere we haven't eaten before and Mr. Jones at Greenbelt 5 seemed perfect.

Mr. Jones have that 50's diner feel hence the extensive diner food they serve. I was really tired that day that I couldn't decide what to get. While I was having a hard time choosing, my fiance on the otherhand, quickly pointed out what he was having.

I was actually battling over their Wicked Truffle Mac n' Cheese since I love everything truffles over their Fish and Chips but I don't know. My lil munchkin in my belly was craving something crunchy that night so I opted for their Fish and Chips instead.    

Fish and Chips Php 385

The Grilled "Truck Stop" Pork Steak Php 420

The Grilled "Truck Stop" Pork Steak was the choice of the fiance and he liked it a lot. The pork was tender and flavorful and the mashed potatoes was also on point. Meanwhile, my Fish and Chips was just ok. The batter wasn't crispy and it has a strong flavor of dill which I recently found out that I had an aversion to now that I'm preggo. I loved the fries though. And service was also good.

Still, I would definitely love to come back and order differently then maybe their Fountain Licks might just win me over.

Snoe Shoo-Zit Acne Fading Gel Php 399

Whenever I think of Snoe Beauty, I always think of true local ingenuity.  Pure beauty. Pure goodness. Pure love. I really like the fact the Snoe Beauty is homegrown and yet it has that international charm to it. Its the kind of company that we, Pinays, should be proud of. I know I am.

So, I'm an expecting mum. Already on my 21 weeks. Hormonal acne can be a total b*tch. Well, good thing there is Snoe Shoo-Zit Acne Fading Gel to the rescue. Not only it is all-natural. Its also affordable and it works! My cystic acne is less swollen and red by the 2nd and 3rd day. Amazing! Plus the bottle is pretty huge (50ml) for the price. 

Its my first time using Snoe Beauty products and I simply love it. Packaging is really chic and cute too! 

In case you're wondering, it contains:

     Crown Wood Fern ~ a traditional herbal medicine from Korea that inhibits acne bacteria. It will stop inflammation and also acts as an anti-oxidant.

     PUREWHITE  ~ a natural whitening and brightening agent. Studies show that it is more effective than arbutin in lightening spots.
