sis juicybear- thanks! ang lalayo nila x_X pero keri lang gusto ko dayuhin at maghohoard ako..

gustoko rin itry yung fetish and doll blushes since marami akong naririnig na raves kaso hindi ako kaputian okay pa rin kaya effect nun?

[finderskeepers]

hi sis i do use BB creams as well  part of my daily facial routine.  very tidious routine but at the end of the day the routine pays off.

what i do is - start off with my daily toner then moisturizer then BB cream then in use the mixture of liquid primer and foundation (as for the sheer velvet i wasn't able to notice a change in length of hours my foundation stays) so thumbs up pa din ang mixture which i also learned from ellana girls at their main office.  i guess sometime soon they will be launching a product which is already a mixture hehe. sana (cross fingers ) 

i guess sis since you have the sheer velvet you might as well, experiment if it would help.  aku din sis, i have a very oily face so what i do is also apply the oil-absorbing espresso finishing powder at the end of the routine.  very helpful for oily faces so you might as well try it na din.

thanks sis i dont have the sheervelvet pa,im just thinking if ill buy the sheervelvet since it's a primer,i assume that my perfect blend foundation would last long if i put the sheervelvet,but based on our experience,parang di nageffect sayo yung sheervelvet para maglast longer yung foundie so di ko pa sure kung bibili ako :DD

i wanna buy the oil absorbing finishing powder din. if use that, bbcream-foundation-finishing powder?

btw,what's your toner and moisturizer? thanks

I bought a 6g container of velvet and I have like six horrible cystic pimples. Di naman ako nag-react nang ganito nung sampler pa lang ginagamit ko.   

aww,diba sis nagbago ellana ngayon,some products have new formulation ..yung sheervelvet din ata may new ingredient sila na nilagay ,baka di na hiyang sayo (

Bakit di ka na lang sa showroom nila magpunta sis? ang alam ko kasi hindi kumpleto selection sa mga SM booths nila. Wala yung mga bago.

I like both fetish and doll. Pero on the maputi side ako so I really can't speak for other skin tones. Love ko yung tryst blush! Parang sunkissed glow ang dating. Sayang ididiscontinue na. Bibili ako malaki nun pag umorder ako.

[finderskeepers]

anong bang blush na parang similar sa multiple stick of nichido in southbeach? di kasi nglalast yung stick so wanna try powder blushes pero gusto ko shade ng southbeach

[snix]

saan ba showroom nila? pero nabasa ko sa facdebook na magkakaroon na sila ng kiosks sa sm with their new items daw.. yehey.. sana magkaron kahit sam north lang..

medyo yellowish kasi skin tone ko.. yung puti ko hindi talaga puti, warm undertones ako.. pero try ko pa rin yung sampler pots na lang yung blushes nila..

nahawa nako araw-araw ko na rin tinitignan sa fb yung christmas catalogue nila.. 

[juicybear]

^^nako sis di ko alam ang kulay ng southbeach kasi OOS sya sa napuntahan kong sm. try mo magcream blush and then patungan ng powder blush tapos top it off with finishing powder.

^naku malapit lang sa sm north ang showroom nila! west ave sis. one short ride from sm north lang.

^Old stock naman ata yung nabili ko, sis. Sa bazaar ko nakuha. Unless sobrang bilis ng turn over nung reseller. Ay naku sayang, andami pa naman niya.

^^I was wondering about the new thread... Thought it had to reach page 30 before it closes? Eh. Must've hit reply to the older thread. Sorry!

hmm osige ill try haha long lasting naman na sya si?kahit oily skin?

[rosey]

^hindi ko lang sure on that part sis. i have normal skin. around 4 hours or more siguro saken. pero when i went in macau, yung blush ko from morning till night na, no retouch, must be the weather.

[ilaybalilay]

i want to try the new sheer velvet with kaolin clay. i love the old formulation but if the new one works better for oily skin, i'm all for it.

[wkt]

i got the eye primer and butterfly kisses lip palette from the main office last sunday.  the lip pallette is LOVE!! i might get the other lip palette too very soon.  the eye primer is good -- cream to powder finish and parang ok nga siya na base for e/s.  cant say much about it coz i just started using it today.

i also got the lip-cheek palette (pretty when pinched) pero i got it for a friend kasi. it looks nice too but i dont realy care for it kasi it has 1 lip spa, 2 lip tint (the lip items i can get na from the lip palette) and a cream blush which i prolly wont like kasi oily skinned ako.

i also got a 2nd jar of fulfillment blush (love that too!) and obsession.  maganda yung obsession, promise!

Check the new catalogue ng Ellana - so goooood!  Compliments to Ms. Theresa of Ellana!  It has a legend on the suggested shades of blushes and lippies for light, medium and fair skin.  Good reference for those wondering what would suit them.

I like the lip/cheek palette.  Got hold of all 4 combinations for gifts! 
As for the eye primer, looks really good.  May nag order na nun from me, though hindi ko pa na try. 

Effective ba yung cream blush for oily skin? 

[wkt]

i have the eye primer and it makes the colors pop talaga.  cream to powder finish siya and it gives a smoother base sa lids so mas madali iapply yung e/s.  as for the staying power, hindi ko pa masabi.  i only got to use it once for a really dramatic look nung chirstmas party namin.  ok naman -- definitely, fresh & vibrant pa din yung e/s color ko when i got home but i forgot to take a closer look if i had creases or not. 

anyway, i also tried using the eye primer as a lip base or lip concealer underneath my nude lipstick.  pwede pala!  lumabas din yung nude color over my overly pigmented lips.  try nyo...

yung lip palette na butterfly kisses super like ko yung mga shades na included.  they are all wearable and it looks really natural.  fave ko dun is yung darkest (impress).  its really dark on the palette pero parang 'just bitten lips' ang effect nya.  what i dont like is that they're a bit drying.  ok lang, i have a lip balm naman

i also gave a lip/cheek palette (pretty when pinched) dun sa friend ko and she really likes the lip tints as well.  fave nya din yung impress! she says the cream blush included (fulfillment) is not that pigmented and it doesnt last long daw despite her non-oily skin.  she prefers using the regular mineral powder blush (fulfilment) din, like me.

[ichelie]

^ thanks wkt for the very updated and details feedback.  will get the eye primer for days that i need to wear my e/s longer.  then as for the pallettes, ill get them too for me and gifts sa teachers ng son ko.  then the cream blush, thanks!  cannot let go of the doll yet, kaya i prefer the powder form

[blatherina]

Finally bought Ellana Kitten & Fetish blushes. I've been jonesing for their blushes for the longest time.

Parang andaming clear shimmer nung Fetish. Feeling ko naiwan yung pigment sa ilalim nung pot? O talaga bang ganun lang siya?

[qtlouise29]

question lang po, i have ellana perfect blend foundation in chai tea latte. i use marrionaud retractable brush to apply the foundie kaya lang medyo nahihirapan ako i-apply siya.. should i use ellana kabuki retractable na lang ba? 

yung sheer velvet po ba ok sa oily skin? TIA!
