Products: Skin Tint-Shade Dark $26 Boy Brow-Shade Black $16 (bought w/ haloscope as set for $30) Stretch Concealer-Shades Medium and Dark $18 Haloscope-Shade Quartz $22  (bought w/ boy brow as set for $30) Generation G Lipstick-Shades Cake, Like and Leo $18 **you can buy sets and save money** Full Video: Left: No face product Top Right: Skin Tint Only Bottom Right: Full face no lippie Left: Bare Lips Right Side (top to bottom order): cake, like, leo I enjoyed these but they're nothing special, they really are blotted lips effect, semi matte and easily comes off you always have to reapply does not leave a tint either. But because of that, it can never look messy or off! I wish they were priced a bit less though! Top: Bare Lips Bottom (left to right): like, cake, leo

Natural Deodorant Comparison (aluminum free) and My favorite so far

Image
Natural Deodorant is gaining so much popularity these days, I've always used the Secret Clinical or random ones from the Philippines as we always have some at the store (we have a Filipino store lol). I started transitioning to natural deodorants because I found that no matter how much I scrub my underarms clean before applying deodorant somehow there is still some weird smell hours later. Hours and hours of research later, I found that maybe my deodorants were blocking my glands too much that they can't air out and artificial scent and other chemicals aren't doing anything but masking the scent and clogging my pores. Here are some I've tried and not all are faves!!! NOTE: When switching to natural deodorant it will be rough for a while as your body releases toxins etc from previous deodorants or just from being blocked for a while. IT'S OKAY. What helped me was detoxing my underarms with the Aztec Clay mask, bought a tub, followed the instructions but instead

THE Ultimate All Nighter Dupe and it's $8

Image
It works just as good as my Urban Decay All Nighter and fraction of the cost. Also cruelty-free! Amount: $8 Size: 3.38 fl oz ONLY CON: I really can't get along with the smell it's not fragranced so it has that chemical smell? I'm not sure. So I spray this then the Mario Badescu on top just so I can't really smell it but if you love unscented products just fan it off right away so you won't have to deal with it. It's not horrid I'm just sensitive to chemical smells. UD All Nighter: $32 4fl oz a bit more product but that price tag!!! I was at a wedding and after party, my makeup lasted ALL NIGHT. GET THIS SPRAY ALREADY!

Tarte Shape Tape Foundation Matte

Image
Tarte Shape Tape Matte Foundation Price: $39 (kind of steep but that’s usually prices now?) *I would really suggest trying the shades out in store when they come out at ulta because online won't do you any good and it oxidizes* PROS: -vegan & cruelty free -coverage is medium and can be layered to full -semi-matte (not matte matte) -even with that coverage it looks natural and seamless -fragrance free CONS: -shades have weird undertone? (I got medium tan honey and it was very warm like red base?) -medium sand, medium neutral and medium tan honey were my top choices but the pictures were sooooooo far off from each other  -I'm thinking all "honey" and tan shades may have the reddish undertone -at first it looked like it matches then it didn’t then it really didn’t since it oxidizes -it lasted with that good coverage I would say good 6 hrs and kept getting less and less (broke down so maybe with a powder foundation it would last more, y

Milk Makeup Luminous Blur Stick Primer Review & Korean Inspired Makeup

Image
I received the Blur Stick complimentary from Influenster but did this not mean I wasn't going to be fully honest with my review of this product. First off the price is quite steep $36 it's the same as the becca matte and poreless full size and I just bought the trial because that to me for a primer was too expensive. Another favorite is the Too Faced Hangover. This is my very first milk makeup product ever and I was very excited to have it. When I first applied it to my bare skin I noticed that it had fine shimmer in it which gives the luminosity I suppose but the luminosity can accentuate pores. It also has a slight citrus like scent to it. It is cruelty-free (BIG yes to me) and vegan as well. I have combination oily skin, if you are very oily I wouldn't recommend this, I don't think it mattifies or blurs pores. My cheeks are my problem areas which sometimes will have breakouts and do have some small scars from acne and visible pores as well.  They are not huge b

PLEASE READ, IMPORTANT DETAILS HERE: If you are a new or smaller channel like mine let me know so I can subscribe to you as well :) Instagram: paulamiq Twitter: Paula Miquiabas Mario Badescu Spray Green Version **I also forgot to mention that in the end I decided to top off my makeup with Becca blurring powder in golden hour (swirling very little product in my fluffy brush then on my face), if you have enlarged pores or bumps don't use this on those areas as it will accentuate them, to me it just helps give a natural glow, you can do this by adding a luminous setting spray on top but it makes me oily so I opted for the powder** Primer: Becca Poreless (make sure it's spread out not patted because it will start pilling) Foundation: Becca Complexion Creme in Nude Good Alternatives: ABH Stick foundation (applied same way)/ Wet N Wild Photofocus (with fingers onto the face then damp sponge, and have to use powder foundation on top as this has some flashback
