Reviews:Nars Orgasm

I've heard so much reviews about this particular blush, the raves of different people dying to own this cult favorite best of Sephora blush! Well, they claimed that this universally flattering shade has been the favorite of most beauty editors, makeup addicts, makeup artists, celebrities and lot more. So after hearing the good reviews of this ultimate favorite of all blush, i decided to try to own this product.

I tried to look at Rustan's essenses in Glorietta but unfortunately they were out of stock. So i tried visiting Shangrila to look for it, and luckily they only have 1 left. Oh, and my mom was also celebrating her birthday so she has 20% off on all items using her citibank card!!! Lucky me!:p Then we went home afterwards, i was just staring the packaging and just sliding my fingers across the black compact case. I was so excited to get home so i could test it, forgot to bring my blush brush that time so i can't tried it while i was in the car.










What I love About it:

-The peachy pink shade really looks good on my skintone, making it look so natural. It also imparts a slight shimmer making my face glows. It can be layered on for more intensity but still looks good and doesn't look too overdo. It gives a very natural luminous sheen to my complexion that goes with any makeup look. It can be worn for formal and even for casual affairs.

Pros:

-It lasts pretty long.
-Suits any complexion.
-It has a decent size that will surely lasts for a long time.


Cons:

-Too pricey.
-The rubberized case/packaging can easily attracts dirt.


Overall Verdict:

-Nars Orgasm is really good, It's a bit expensive, yes, but i just decided to have it after reading the hype over this product and multitudes of consumer reviews and magazine ravings about the perfection of this color on every skin tone. I'm pretty impressed with it and gives a gentle flush of color on my face. Being allure's #1 best blush?? I don't think so..Don't get me wrong, i love this blush but for me the best is still "BENETINT". This blush may be the second best blush for me.:) If i want to go for a naturally reddish look I'll go for benetint, and for peachy pink look..then Nars Orgasm is the one.:D

Coastal Palette(Contouring & Blush)

I bought this palette online after i learned how to contour and highlight. Contouring helps in defining and enhancing the facial features..it sculpts and alters your facial structure making it more symmetrical. It will make your face appears more prominent and refined. With the right brushes & application tool you can contour your face easily.

This contour palette is packaged in a black case holding 6 large pans. The powders are all matte, after all you don't want to use shimmer or pearl powders while contouring. The darker brown is used for contouring. By using angled brushes, sweep lightly across the powder make sure that you tapped off the excess, then start swiping it below the cheekbone(be sure to blend it properly), the jawline and your temples. It gives an illusion of slimmer and more defined face, and you may use it on your chin if you have a long chin...you can also apply the darker shade on either side of the bridge of the nose and apply the highlight on the bridge to have an illusion of longer and sharper nose. The white one is for highlighting, swipe it above your cheeks, brow bone, above the lips and forehead. The cream is color is for concealing and the others are blushes for different skintones.

I was impressed with this palette and it's my new everyday essential. Though the only drawback of this product for me is the contouring shade, it is a bit darker for my skintone so i have to control in applying it so it won't look like some dirt spread below my cheekbone. Tip: Use contouring shade that is 2 shades darker of your skintone...i think the contouring shade is 3-4x darker of my skintone. At first, i had been debating with myself whether or not to spend the money on a product that is used for a technique that i never actually tried before, but it's definetely worth trying! To sum it all up, this is such a great deal! For $19, it comes with a huge pans that will last you for a long time. It's a great investment for every makeup professionals and makeup lovers. It's everything you need in one palette. A versatile palette indeed!

Twilight Movie Review

I've watched the movie 2 times in a span of 3 days.:) haha I love it!!! The first time i've watched Twilight was on November 29 Saturday afternoon with my boyfriend. Just as i expected, there's a very long line on the ticket booth. But we managed to buy one and found a good seat at the balcony. I was so anticipated that i couldn't concentrate the whole day, i kept on thinking what would be the scenes included, and hopefully that the iconic part in the book would all apear in the movie. Well, as we find our seats and started to wait the movie to start, i was so frustrated of the continous viewing of the trailers of the upcoming movie!!! I think it lasted 45 minutes until the openning of Twilight. As the light started to dimmed, i focused on the screen and give my full attention to it. Well, The movie is good, and some of the conversation were exactly the same in the book. The entrance of the "Cullen" family is so amazing, it like a grand entrance that viewers started screaming. Especially the part were Edward Cullen entered the cafeteria, there's a "wooh" and "ahh" all around us.haha The second time i've watched was on Dec 1 Monday with my family.:) I appreciate the movie the second time i've watched it because watching the first time has the tendency to compare it to the book.:) But as i try to watch it without comparing it to the book, the movie is nice, entertaining, and I just can't get enough of it!!!! Hoping that they would release the DVD so i could watch it over and over again.:)

I Love the part:

Edward Sparkles in the meadow.

Baseball Scene(Definitely the best!!!)

Kissing Scene(Shouldn't Bella had the hard time breathing on that part?? but instead she was way too

agressive.)

The Treetop Scene(Simply Breathtaking!)

Charlie is funny!!!

The Grand entrance of the Cullen Family(Love it!)

The Prom scene were Edward made Bella step on his feet so they could dance

The Cullens were using the kitchen.

I Hate it because:

They didn't Include the blood test scene(There should be a part were Edward would carry bella:( )

Didn't give much emphasis on the part were they ate at La bella Italia.

Story was too fast forward.

No "I Love You" from either of them(I've been waiting for that part.)

No "Do I Dazzle You?"

They Didn't include Edward humming Bella to sleep with her lullaby.

They didn't include the part were Edward kissed Bella at the hospital, and her heart rate starts to speed up.:)
