AskMilna Monday: YSL Volupte Sheer Candy

I've seen a lot of Beauty Gurus from Youtube and even Beauty Bloggers raved about this YSL infamous Volupte Sheer Candy, I've been holding my breath as well as my wallet for the longest time until I finally gave in when I saw them when I was in Kuwait and I knew right then that I wanna try it. 

I only bought two but God knows I wanna buy all of them. They are just so amazing.

I've been using this product everyday since I got this last December.

I am reviewing this particular lipstick because this is the one that got most request when I posted my January Favorites. And here is the beautiful ladies who requested this.

So here it goes ladies. Hope you like it.

First things first, look at that packaging, isn't it beautiful? The packaging looks and feels luxurious. YSL lipsticks have the most luxurious looking packaging I've ever seen. I usually see some lipstick in a plain black tubes, but this one is the bomb. This particular line, the Glossy balm features in a silver tube with a "YSL" logo in the middle together with the actual color of the product.

Volupte Sheer Candy Glossy Balm in #4 also known as Succulent Pomegranate is a bright pink with red undertones in it.

Swatch time!

As you can see in the swatches above it is very sheer, but when you put it on your lips it will give an instant color and instant shine.

I can't remember the price of it but I bought this one when I was in Kuwait Duty Free going back here in the Philippines. It is definitely expensive but I think it is worth it.

How about you ladies, are you willing to give this lip product a shot? Comment below!

Do you have any favorite lip products as of the moment? leave a response below, I wanna know.

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.

[SPONSORED] Review: Travalo

We ladies have to be fresh all the time, we always bring make-ups with us for touch-ups and we also bring perfumes with us so that we always smell good, fresh and clean, don't we?

 We always want to smell good and look good.

In my experience, I always bring humongous bottles of perfumes just to freshen up when I know that my scent has worn off, but the thing is huge bottles+make-up+unnecessary things = HEAVY BAGS.

Now my problem was solved by the infamous Travalo. Travalo was such brilliant to make something very small and yet very useful.

Love the protected case of it.

Now, let's try it. I am choosing my Chanel Chance.

You just have to push the bottom party of the Travalo to the nozzle of the perfume you chose. And that's it. Watch out the indicator.

And I had my Chanel Chance in my small but terrible Travalo :)

You can win one of this every week by liking their Facebook Page. 

edited: You can buy this amazing Travalo on their website www.travalo.com

Just a little question ladies, Which shops here in Philippines do you think best for Travalo? Comment below and let me know :)

Take Care!

till next time

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."
