Rave or Rant about your latest beauty finds (Thread 5)

[ataypool]

Rave: Leaders Collagen Lifting Mask - got one sample when I bought items from w2beauty. The effect on my skin was like SKII's mask, glowing and hydrated.

History of Whoo Gold Peel Off Mask - good for exfoliation and brightens my skin.

Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer - very smooth application; like this better than Make Up Forever

Bare Minerals Tinted Hydrating Gel - great for the 'no makeup' look

Rave:

EH Precious Mineral BB Cushion - Semi matte finish with a dewy effect.

Rimmel Kate Moss l/s in 08 - Perfect for everyday wear.

TFS Aloe Soothing Gel - Good moisturizer for the hands and feet without that icky feeling.

Rave: Shiseido Tsubaki extra moist shampoo and conditioner

super bango, and super lambot sa hair! dahil dito hindi na mashado buhaghag yung hair ko. less hairfall din! lovet!

creamy matte lipstick from pink sugar.

hindi ko alam about this brand not until this weekend lang. i was going around sa sm beauty section and saw this brand. i swatched the shade "desire" and it looks okay for me. i like the consistency and hindi drying ang pagka-matte though syempre mas long lasting pa rin ang liquid matte lipsticks.

comparing sa other matte lipsticks (around pink sugar's price range), mas gusto ko to. Kaso lang, they had not so good shade collections. puro pinks and reds. walang neutral/brown. i bought desire kasi i thought it's like a deep brown/red color. pagkalabas ko...may hint of pink pa rin. worth to try!

new rave:

etude house drawing eye brow in fact i think i like it better than tarte/anastasia brow pencils dahil saktong sakto sa brows yung angles nya. and it's so easy to use. plus mura lang sya.

Rave:

Etude house cushion foundation - glowing ang effect and okay ang staying power kahit oily ang face ko.

Tarte waterproof eyebrow mousse - long lasting a little goes a long way. Eto na pinaka okay na pangkilay na nagamit ko.

Rave: YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Waterproof Mascara. I have short, thin, sparse lashes and this really does thicken and lengthen them. Best of all it doesn't smudge. Only downside is the price. Mejo mahal, so I'm still on the lookout for the perfect mascara at the perfect price.

Rave pero rant din: L'oreal Pure Rouge lippy. Ganda ng color and not drying, kaso nagbi-bleed/feather kahit may lip liner. As in parang clown ka na in a few minutes. 

[hisana]

Rave and rant din for the same product:  VMV skin-saving antiperspirant. Really effective as an antiperspirant, better than most I've tried. But the bottle it came with, ang bilis mag-clog up nung spray. Eventually nasira na, so had to buy a new container...na nag-clog up din eventually even after I followed the instructions on how to prevent this from happening. So now, I just pour a bit on my fingers and apply, LOL, wala na kasing ibang way.

Rave: Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam

Loooove this product! Tinitipid ko lang kasi wala pang Innisfree here in Manila except for online stores. Pero for me, an HG facial wash (along with Clarins facial cleanser). Great for combi skin like mine. May beads pero not drying and it cleans really well. I use it everyday (alternate with an apricot scrub twice a week) and haven't had an adverse reaction.

[hisana]

Rant: Revlon colorstay concealer. Didn't really conceal anything on my face! Well, may slight effect naman, pero pareho lang halos ng coverage (or maybe even less) sa mga tinted moisturizers na gamit ko, missha and nars, so what's the use, di ba. Now I don't know what to do with it.

[planb]

Rave: NYX Simply Vamp Lip Cream. Lightweight and moisturizing on the lips! Sayang nga lang kasi dark purple yung shade kasi pasalubong sakin.

[hisana]

Rant - Ofra liquid lipstick in laguna beach. Bought it because of the hype. First, the smell. Ganun ba talaga yun, parang amoy ice cream? Can't really describe it. I really, really don't like it. Second, the packaging. So flimsy-looking, but I can live with it. Namention ko lang because I was surprised it looked like that. Third, the color. Hindi bagay sa akin, huhu. Made me look like I'm still in high school. Sige, kasalanan ko naman ito kasi ako naman pumili ng shade. Maybe pasadena would've been a better choice (though I probably won't be buying these again). Fourth, the staying power, which is the primary reason I bought it. Pwede na, but I don't think lamang sya sa ibang lippies sa longevity sa akin.

mac matte lipstick - first mac lippies ko to. so over naappreciate ko ang finish nya. yung pagkamatte nya ibang klase as in parang moisturize pa rin ang lips ko. nakapag try na ko ng nyx, maybelline, revlon and loreal pero this one is the bomb. hindi nagchap ang lips ko and long lasting kahit kumain pa ko. hindi rin bumabakat sa baso. i ended up disposing all my lipstick collection and planning to buy 2 more matte lipstick ng mac na shade of pink and nude. yung nauna ko kasi dark red yung shade.

[icedtallcoffee]

Rant: Laura Mercier Velour Lovers lipstick, the new matte lipstick line from LM. It's NOT matte at all.

[swim_fatale]

Rave: Maybelline Colorshow lippy in Crushed Candy. Nakaka-blooming and nakakabata yung color tapos amoy/lasang candy pa. And only 150 pesos!

Hi, been a lurker here for years. Time to step out of the shadows. 

Rant: Pure Beauty Super Sheen Sunblock in SPF 30. Got 2 big zits on my face just on day 1 of using it. Definitely not hormonal because 2 weeks pa before my period and ngayon lang uli ako nagka zits for months now.

Raves: -Etude House Super Moistfull collagen essence. This is after toner and before my moisturizer. Pag gising ko sa umaga, plump ang face ko hanggang pag pasok sa work. Although, pag bandang hapon na, nawawala na ang effect kasui haggard na hehe.
-Tofu soap from IG shops that sell Thai soaps. I forgot the exact name pero honest to goodness eto ang nagpawala ng pimples ko. I've been suffering from acne for years since hs. I'm 27 now at eto lang talaga ang pakalma ng acne ko. I have been observing kung saglit lang ang effect. I've tried a lot. Even went to 2 different dermas na nabasa ko din dito sa gt. I've used religiously the acne sets from them (toner, soap, trets, glycolic, antibiotic etc) bumabalik lang acne ko after some time. Tried almost all acne solutions, medicines, pero etong soap lang talaga ang nagpawala.

Rant: Nature Republic Aqua Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Cream. Akala ko dupe na sya ng Laneige Water Sleeping Pack pero hindi pa din. Nag breakout pa ako because of it. 

[mimiku]

Rave: St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter Lotion - Gamit ko nung pregnant ako and until now, sobrang lambot at nawawala ang dryness ng skin ko.

St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter Body Wash - partner it with the lotion. So far so good.

St. Ives Elastin Collagen Moisturizer - first time to use today. Makes my face so moisturized. Not heavy. It glides and absorbs well.

VCO - super rave. Works so well with my hair as a conditioner.

[sweetpassion]

Same here, I have tried Human Heart Nature Shampoo, massage oil, sunflower oil, soaps, nothing to rave about. Overhyped lang and very inferior compared sa ibang organic brands
