Do you want to be forever young?

YES??? Now let me share you my experience about the KB Collagen Challenge. :)

KB is the only one to offer glutathione in free-form with NAC in the blend that makes them highly efficient and effective glutathione supplement. 

They gave me KB Collagen Food Supplement Tablets and KB Gold Premium Soap.

First, KB GOLD PREMIUM SOAP

-The soap is covered in a white "onion skin" like paper.

-I like the uniqueness of the soap in a form of circle with the engraved KB logo.

-Color: Mustard yellow 

-Very handy 

-Smells really good.

EXPERIENCE:

I'm very excited to try the KB Gold Premium Soap for so many reasons. First, it has 5 main components (Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, Soy Bean Extract, Hyaluronic Acid & Human Placenta Extract) that makes this soap really stands out. Second, the appearance of the soap is really unique and very handy to use compared to the other brands. Third, I love the scent of this soap, it's not fruity nor organic but it makes my skin smells fresh and clean. :) Fourth, the texture is smooth and the consistency is rich and creamy. It's very soft and mild on your skin. I didn't experienced any dryness or itching at all. Fifth, It helps makes my skin moisturized and even helps my blemishes diminished. :)

Although, to really get that whiter, younger looking skin, you really have to purchased another box of it so that you will achieve your desired results.

Second, KB COLLAGEN FOOD SUPPLEMENT

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

It contains Fish Collagen to replenish stored collagen the body begins to lose at the age of 20.

-It has Fuji Silica Gel inside.

EXPERIENCE:

It was actually my first time to intake Collagen Tablets as my daily food supplement. Usually I go for Collagen Soap or Lotion to help maintain my skin's youthful glow.

July was really a busy, stressful month for me. Working non-stop, lack of sleep, travelling back and forth was my everyday routine. And the only time I can give myself a break was having our meals. I take 1 tablet after every meal until I emptied the bottle.

The result??? I noticed that it helps my skin balanced my poor diet and exercise. It controls the amount of my breakouts and still gives me a natural glow. And also, helps my skin recover from the damaging effect of the sun. (especially when I was in Puerto, Princesa Palawan)

But I think, KB Collagen boost my food intake and gave me a big appetite. :)

WHERE TO BUY?

You can purchase KB Collagen in all Watsons and Mercury Drugstore nationwide.

My LOOK BEAUTY Make Me Blush in Pinch Review :)

Hello Candylovers!!! 

I got this blush from Make Up Hub by Naturele Collezione at the Supersale Bazaar last year. I was invited by Ms. Sarah Fulleros to be their guest makeup artist that day. As you may not know, they are the first one to introduced UK makeup brands here in the Philippines. From Sleek, Models Own, Miners, Limecrime, Mememe, Look Beauty and a lot more. All of the brands are really amazing but Look Beauty is my favorite! :D

A little background information about LOOK BEAUTY

Look Beauty is the UK's favourite and best selling fashion weekly magazine. - They are the first magazine to pool all off their beauty industry experience to launch their own cosmetic range.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
LOOK BEAUTY MAKE ME BLUSH IN PINCH
A Comprehensive total blush wardrobe from wow colour pop to demure nude, all entirely wearable and instantly prettifying.

Build up your chosen blush, from a healthy glow to a super-sexy flush.

PACKAGING:

One of the reasons why I love Look Beauty is because of their packaging. They always present their products in a classy yet modern way.

The actual products are placed inside a light pink box with their signature design layout.

 For the Make Me Blush, it comes in a square metal-looking case with printed logo on top and printed sticker at the bottom part where the details of the product are. Unfortunately they did not provide the ingredients for their products even if you check their website.

What I like most about it is that it looks high-end and it's very innovative for them to create a magnetic case for it. YES! So there's nothing to worry if your screw is broken.

SIZE:
3" in length 2.75" in weight and 0.65" in height

NET WEIGHT:
8.6g

PRODUCT APPEARANCE:
When you open it, you will have a built in mirror inside which is perfect for your makeup application and the lovely blush called pinch, a soft pink shade with gold shimmers in it. The actual size of it is 2"x2".

SCENT:

No scent. :)

Now here's a swatch on my wrist. (No Flash)

EXPERIENCE:

The moment I saw this blush, it was love at first sight. <3 I love everything about it, from the packaging, to product quality to positive result. EVERYTHING! You might think that I'm exaggerating too much but no, this is really what I feel and I'll be very honest about it.

I personally love blush with tiny bit of shimmers in it. Some people may not like it because it makes them look shiny and oily. But Look Beauty Make Me Blush in Pinch will help you achieve that rosy cheeks with a nice healthy glow. The texture is smooth and the shimmers are fine. (unlike the other blush that's out in the market) The color is pigmented and buildable. Great color pay off! :D

This blush is really easy to use. Just smile and place your blush brush on the apples of your cheeks and blend away. Repeat the step to achieve that perfect rosy cheeks. :)

Everytime I wear this blush, I always get compliments by my friends/people who sees me. They said, "blooming" daw ako and then it makes me blush.... hihi! :p

PROS:

- Perfect for light to medium skin tone

- No need to use a highlighter

- No scent

- Superb packaging

- Easy to blend

- Pigmented

CONS:

- For the shade Pinch, it's not suitable for dark skin tone

- If you are living far from metro manila, you have to order online

- For some, it's quite expensive

- For photoshoot, it will kinda makes your skin look shiny because of the shimmers

OVERALL:

10/10. Highly recommend it.

My POP Beauty Eye Cake Review :)

Hello Candylovers!!!

Back when I was studying my makeup artistry at the Makeup Design Academy-Manila, me and my classmates were having a hard time finding the right shade of color that will suit our models every now and then. We keep on asking our teacher, Ms. Myrene Santos what color do we have to apply?? And she said

"IF IN DOUBT, WEAR PEACH!"

And because of that, we named our group "Peaches". :D

aww.. i miss you all! :)

Anyway!!! what's the connection???

Well, I got the chance to try this POP Beauty Eye Cake eyeshadows in the shade Peaches. And I want to share my thoughts about this product. :)

- All shades compliment each other

Here are the swatches of eyeshadows

EXPERIENCE:

Okay, to be honest, I never thought that I will love this palette simply because I was intimidated by the shades used. But when I started to give it a try, I instantly fell in love with it. <3

POP Beauty Eye Cake in Peaches is perfect for natural to day time look. If you want to have a fresh natural glowing look then this palette is the answer. I like to use it to make my eyes look awake and bright. Although I'm just having a hard time loading my brush with it and making the colors pop on my eyes. So what I do is to spray my brush with fine mist of water or my trusted Skindinavia makeup setting spray and then dip the brush into the eyeshadow. This will help increase the intensity of my eyeshadow and prolong the wear of it. 

I also like to use it to highlight my face. REALLY??? HOW???

By using your blush brush, swirl your brush directly to the eyeshadow pan and tap the excess. Carefully highlight your cheekplane and blend away. You can also highlight your cupidsbow with it. :)

Also what's good about it is that, Peach compliments all skin tones. If you are having a hard time finding your right shade then go for peach. You can never go wrong with it. :)

PROS:

- Nice quality

- No scent

- Can also be use as your highlighter

- All shades are pretty

- Perfect for all skin tones

- Very convenient to carry along 

- Unique packaging and very sturdy

CONS:

- No matte color

- Not that pigmented as what they claimed it to be

- It's kinda hard to make the colors pop

- Not available locally; you have to order online

OVERALL:

I love it and will highly recommend it to all. :D
