Favorite Drugstore and High-end Foundation

Hello Ladies!

I've been meaning to do this blogpost for the longest time but I can't seem to find my time to do it. So right now I will be doing favorite drugstore and high-end foundation.

Please do keep in mind that I have normal-combination skin. The only problem of my skin is hyper-pigmentation due to excessive amount of pimples/acne when I was in high school up until just last year when my skin finally found it's perfect match and I hadn't change my skincare routine since then.
 I don't get huge cystic acne anymore. anyways I will do a blogpost talking about my skin care routine but right now I wanna talk about my favorite foundation.



This won't be an in-depth review, I will just talk you through it why I love these foundation.

Chanel Perfection Lumiere.


♥ First on my list is this gorgeous gorgeous foundation. Whenever I wear this foundation I always get compliments about my skin. I once got a compliment from a friend saying "nagpa-belo ka ba?" I was like "WTH? hahaha" That's how amazing this foundation is. 
♥ This is great for oily skin and it is great for humid, sticky weather like here in Philippines. 
♥ I don't know if you can get this here haven't check in Rustan's but I think they have it. 
♥ Perfection Lumiere has a medium to full coverage.
♥ The staying power of this one is great. The longest time I wore this is probably 8hours in a very very hot humid weather. So I think this one can last a lot longer than 8hours.


Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua 

♥ This one is another high-end foundation and another amazing product. I found this probably more than a year ago and I fell in love with it the moment I tried it on my face.
 It is very very light foundation but have a very very amazing coverage. It is like magic foundation, It can cover your problem areas but you can still see your skin picking through, if you get what I mean. 
♥ It is great for dry or combination skin, If you have oily skin I think you have to use a primer and 
set it with powder.
♥ The staying power of Vitalumier isn't that great like the Perfection Lumiere. But you can still get atleast 4-5hours in a humid Philippines weather.


Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

♥ This is one of the few foundations I wont recommend for oily skin. It is very very creamy and it can slide off of your face at the end of the day.
♥ The coverage is light to medium. It can get a little bit cakey on my skin and I don't know why is that because this foundation is great for dry skin.
♥ Staying power isn't that great too.
♥ This can also transfer in to your clothes especially if your wear a white top with collar expect it to transfer on your clothes. So if I knew I will be wearing shirt with collars I won't be using this.


Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation.

♥ Another foundation that is made for dy skin. This one is much better and a lot cheaper than the Laura Mercier one so why bother spent your money, right?
♥ Coverage is medium build-able.
♥ Staying power is 5-6hours without blotting.
♥ As for availability I don't know if you can get this here in Philippines. 
I got mine when I was in Kuwait.


Etude House Sun BB cream SPF 50+/PA+++

♥ I know this isn't foundation but I used it as a foundation so I included it. 
♥ I love this BB cream. That is all I can say about this. Out of all BB cream's I've tried *bare in mind I've tried A LOT* this has been my favorite. 
♥ Coverage wise, well it is a BB cream so what do you expect? but I can get a medium coverage out of it. I don't even need a concealer when I use this expect for the undereye area.
♥ Staying power wise, love how it can give me 6hours without blotting.
♥ Price Php 978.00, well it is a little bit expensive but I think it is worth it.

Revlon Colorstay liquid and whipped foundation.

♥ Lastly is this 2 amazing foundation. This two is great for Philippines' weather and for oily skins. Colorstay line from Revlon is just amazing. I also love the Colorstay blemish concealer. 
♥ Staying power is great, Coverage is great.
♥ It can get a little cakey on my skin, just because as I've said I have normal skin.
♥ I can't remember the price but I think it can range from 900-1000 *I think, don't quote me on this*.


So yeah, that is it girls.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post if you are in a hunt for new foundation I definitely recommend any of that, specially the Chanel one. If you can splurge on something that you will use on your face definitely go for the Chanel Perfection Lumiere.

If you have any question please do tweet me at @mhielnah, facebook, or even email me.

What is your favorite foundation? Comment below if you have any recommendations for me!

talk to you soon,
xoxo,

SM department store Haul

Today Im supposed to go to Legaspi Village in Makati City, but unfortunately Hubbhie doesn't know how to get there. We tried to look on maps that comes with iPhone but still we didn't know to go there. Could you girls tell me how to go to Legaspi Village, Makati City coming from San Juan.

Anyway we ended up driving to SM Sta.Mesa and I really need some products for my hair, it's getting a little dull and frizzy because I run out with my favorite daily treatment conditioner. I wanted to buy that specific product and I ended up buying more.

Sweatproof, Waterproof, Creaseproof makeup

As I was looking at my make-up collection I got an idea. As we may all know Philippines, has a very humid and sticky weather. So I have some tips for those of you who has been suffering from smudging make-up or running make-up off of your face. It is mixed with high-end makeup and cheap. But I can asure you the face and the eyes wont smudge. So let's go ahead?

Make-up starter kit | available locally

Oh well, first of all I've been thinking for a new blog ideas when I came across with this blog called Post Ideas For Beauty Blogs if your a beauty blogger please do visit that blog it has such wonderful ideas for us who just started doing beauty blog.

Anyway now I wanted to a Make-up starter kit that you can buy locally here in Philippines I bought mine mostly at SM departments stores. Not everything is affordable but atleast you can find them locally.

For starters I don't wear foundation everyday except for special occasions incase you haven't noticed in my last few post I didn't put any foundation there. Simply because Philippines has a very very humid weather, so wearing liquid foundation is not such a good idea.

As I said you can find this products mostly at SM department store. If you are teens and your really thinking that what can you buy here in philippines that wont make you look like you have a lot of make-up, then you've come to the right place.

Let's start

Skin Care Products

I have been looking for good skin care products that will work on my skin. Since I get into makeup I have been breaking out like crazy. I have been trying a lot of products to stop blemishes to come. I have tried from cheap to high-end.

Luckily for me I have found the one I have been looking for. This has been my routine for 3 months now and I'm very happy with my skin right now. Never had blemish for probably 3 months now. I mean I still get like 1 or 2 every that TIME of the month, but other than that I don't get a lot of acne.

A little tip that I also learned is don't put make-up everyday. Let your skin breath from the chemicals that make-up has. I only put make-up occasionally and if I feel putting make-up I don't always put foundation. If you read my other posts you might know that I only put concealer and powder as my foundation.

Without further ado let's start.

Travel make-up essentials

So as you may all know I've been busy and been traveling.

I thought why not do a travel make-up essentials. This is the products I took with me on airplane.

I do wear make-up going to airport but after I board the plane I remove it quickly to let my skin breath, going to kuwait is a 10-hour flight so I'm definitely removing my make-up.

Let's start

Youtube Beauty Gurus

I started watching youtube beauty community for 1 year now. Pixiwoo sisters has been the first beauty gurus I've watched, They really influenced me when it comes to make-up and how to apply those to my face, they had a variety of videos from natural, everyday make-up to smokey make-up to really crazy looking make-up, I've been followers of them, I watched every single videos the uploaded, until I came across to Elle or allthatglitters21's channel, I've been obsessed with Elle and also her vlog channel I always watch her Glitterature: Book reviews, I loved every book she recommended. And then Blair, I also like her but not so much I just watched her whenever Elle didn't upload new videos. An then so on and so forth. I love Say Tioco she's Filipina youtuber, Nikkiphilippi is amazing too.

Up until now I still watch these girls, i still love them, and I still subscribed to them.

`do you have any youtube beauty guru favorite? tell me in comment section below.

Make-up Monday | Lioele Water Drop BB cream REVIEW

So today I'm reviewing this awesome Lioele WaterDop BB cream. I got mine at St.Francis Square ortigas. According to lioeleph "It's an exclusive moisturizing BB cream which makes your skin moist since waterdrop, which is generated when you apply it to skin, is well absorbed into your skin."
