Kinatok na naman ako sa DIY! Although this is nothing new. Nastress drillon lang ako kasi na ang hirap magdala ng maraming lipstook and baka mawala (yes, ganun ako ka OC… may numero ang lippy ko) haha!

So eto na naman, if hindi kayo particular sa lipstick nyo.. wag nyo na avail toh! haha! But i like this kasi i can bring more colors!

What you need…

Pls don’t tell V i used his cheese knife. Haha!

Candle in the dark.. choz!

Lipsticks!

Container (you can buy this sa makeup supplies stores)
Actually may option pa kayo na iba… I used this before… They have pa those that you can take out by groups so pakak yun.

If you have a labeller…bongga sya! Best friend ko yan! haha!

And lots of tissue or hand towels.

Ok, first ganap is to cut your lipstick. If mababaw yung container nyo (like mine) you can actually just cut half. So you can save the other lippy part for retouch na kasya sa bag. Hindi naman nakakafab yung buong palette nasa bag nyo pag gumimik. haha! Use the knife (you can use plastic) to cut it.

AYAN NA!

After nyan, avail nyo na ang candle in the dark. Use it to melt the lipstick. Make sure you move ha, wag nyo itodo..because you just want it to melt not boil. Boiling will change the consistency of the lippy.

In a minute or two, best in melting na yan.

Then you can pour sa container na…Told you, medyo isang lippy dalawang space. so You can do just half of the lippy. Para more choices, more fun! Wipe the spoon, make sure ibang tissue for the top part and for the bottom, since yung bottom ng spoon will have dark chenelers from the candle.

Finished product! Don’t mine yung sa taas na luma kong ginawa.. tumalon si Liempo.. accidents happen.. kumalat. haha!

Oh by the way, the labeller is to label yung colors. If bet nyo lang. Para pagnaubus knows nyo ano sya.

PUSH NYO YAN! Inaaliw ko muna kayo before i post Coachella and Mexico.. daming photos eh! haha!

Much love,

Summer and beach ganap na naman! So better be prepared! haha! Eto nga ang panahon na labasan ng skin glow at kung maraming tinatago, pahirapan takpan ang mga sumpa! haha!

Meet my barkada… choz! Level! Talagang gagamitin ko ulit tong photos ko with my supoermodel barkadas. haha!

Sige, since assumera ako.. assume natin beach makeup. Honestly, mahirap i-avail ang makapal at fundation dito. Kaya natural lang talaga ang peg whether you like it or not.

Especially may basaan portion sa beach so talagang mahirap itawid ang makapal na funda. Last labor day photo with Lau and Max!

1. Skip the foundation day! Mag BB/CC cream ka. Or tinted moisturizer!  AT least hindi sya makapal, yet kaya parin mag conceal kahit papaano. If you need a concealer, pwede parin naman but use yung cream wag solid stick kasi baka mag cake ang ganap. My current faves are

a. Armani face fabric(Available thru Shophk): Waley lang nga sa Manila. SO you can order thru shophk.by.kc@gmail.com. But ang tawag namin ng friend kong si Elmer dito MAGIC potion! haha! Actually to be exact ang description ni Elmer dito.. NAKAKAARTISTA GLOW. Haha! This is light coverage but it really evens out your skin. Actually, d ko pa nga toh dati nirereveal until nasa Japan kami sabi ni Elmer sakin… “Bakla tapatin mo ako. Anong funda yan? Parang d ka nahuhulas kahit buong araw tayo naglalakad at ayokong maniwalang natural glow yan kasi maiingit talaga ako” haha! Sa prangka nya, inamin ko tuloy yung discovery ko. Eto yung makeup na parang wala

b. CC Cream of Chanel (available thru shophk)- Paulit ulit ko nalang sinasabi toh. Haha! Pero trust me bongga sya. If face fabric is more on glow, this one naman yung parang shumi-shine bright like a diamond ka. Shine na hindi oily ha, yung mukhang healthy shine May SPF din kaya bet ko sya. Wala parin dito but shophk.by.kc@gmail.com meron.

c. Skin79 BB cream (thru shophk)- i did a long review na about BB creams, check here.

d. Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (Rustan’s): Award winning toh lalo na if dry yung skin nyo. Avail nyo ito!

After nyan, pwede parin kayo magface powder but dapat yung medyo fresh lang and hindi cakey ang peg.

a. RMK powder(thru shophk)- If you look closely, bongga sya. may part sa taas na shinier than the whole compact. Yun ang nagbibigay ng super sheen glow sa skin. You can mix it, use for highlight or skip all together This is the powder secret nung medyo dewy look na ganda gandahan lang ang peg!

2. Sabi ko nga sa inyo, tanggalin na ang lahat sakin wag lang kilay! Magkakamatayan tayo! haha!

a. Makeup forever (makeup forever stores) – Bet ko toh kasi waterproof! haha! It comes in a kit din with brush na

b. Majolica Majorca- Still my fave for lining kahit summer. 

3. Tipid means din kasi pwede nang 2 in one ang tint.

a. MAC fun cheek and lip color - naka dalwang pot nako nito! bongga sya sa summer!

b. Benetint: Actually may choices yan. So ikaw na mamili kung anong bet mo. But panalo toh kasi super long lasting tint. At parating ubus sa drawer ko kasi parating minamatting nang beckies toh!

4. Bronzer para mas pakak ang glow! Actually madaming bronzers, d naman ako masyado choosy. I use my MAC bronzer or Nars na bronzer. Bet ko yung NARS ORGASM BRONZER kit. Not sure lang if meron pa, medyo matagal ko na nabuysung eh! Perfect sya kasi blush and bronzer in in one compact. You actually have 2 choices when buying a bronzer, yung matte or parang may konting glitters.

5. Mascara- Maybelline parin ang mascara of choice. Dapat water proof!

6. Sea salt spray (Davines Phils or parlors that carry Davines): Kung may dry shampoo, isa pa toh sa life savers ko. Sea Salt sparay ang sagot sa perfect beach waves. Alam nyo yung waves right after nasa beach ka? Kaya i-avail yung kahit wala sa beach! Use this spray to texturize your hair. You can use it while dry or wet, and easier sya i-wave. Pwede nyo rin sya braid or bun then spray , para when you take it off beach waves na!

So ayan na! Avail nyo na ang “numa-natural” look! haha! Wala na talagang effortless ngayon! haha! D ba, Jennie Epperson?

Much love,

D

If you have time, try to download this episode on BBC.

BBC Horizons- The truth about staying young

Super dami kong nalaman about aging and staying young. They discussed sun damage on skin, products and food na perfect pang forever young. But one thing especially got my attention. THE FIRST ANTI-AGING PILL was discussed.

Ayan, hinanap ko talaga ano ba yung pill na nasa BBC feature na yun. And i found it. After years of research, they have a pill you can pop that can work from within. Bongga d ba? Research shows ayan check mo sa baba… haha!

Tested on 500 women in a 14-week trial, the Dove Spa supplement showed a striking ability to ‘anti-age.’ Wrinkles around the eyes improved by up to 30 per cent and participants experienced an increase in levels of collagen in the skin.

 

Dr John Casey, who led the team which developed the pill, said it worked by activating ‘master’ genes involved in collagen synthesis, reducing wrinkles and sun damage.

He said: “We used ingredients which have been shown in the scientific literature and our own tests to combat the causes of skin ageing and kickstart old skin cells into behaving like young skin cells.

“We spent five years testing the ingredients on hundreds of women and found this combination could reduce deep wrinkles within 14 weeks. There is nothing currently on the market which can do that.”

 

Oh d ba? Syempre since best in research ako. I checked the ingredients. Most of the ingredients are from fruits and food na dapat naman natin lafangin everyday to enhance collagen production. But syempre, sino ba satin ang lumalafang ng perfect daily. So I assume na bongga nga ito. Kasi at least sure tayo may amount of nutrition daily para sa mailap na collagen na yan. haha!

Ayan galing sa unilever site. haha!

Each box is good for 28 days, so for a full cycle of 14 weeks. Keri ng 3 to 4 boxes. Pinapila ko yung shopper ko sa UK since it is only available there. haha! And takot din kasi ako sa hindi sure, so it’s nice that it is also manufactured by a big company na UNILEVER/DOVE.

So for more fountain of youth. Parang vitamins nyo narin sa skin nyo I think shopHK.by.KC@gmail.com is retailing it at Php2,800.00 per box or Php11,000.00 for for boxes. Yung buong ganap na cycle na yun.

I also checked some reviews.. bongga naman. Bet ko yung best in hair growth ha!

Keribells noh? Eto yung masnakakaloka.. The day the announced it, pumili pala ang mga ghelays! Whole first batch was all sold out in 4 hours! haha! The search for the fountain of youth nga naman! Damay damay tayo dyan!

I’m trying it out now So far smoother nga ang skin. Actually more than smoother, may glow. I think with all our ritual na external facials, stemcell kits, etc. We should also work from within. Para walang kawala. haha!

I think shophk has a few boxes left. Try nyo avail!

Much love,

D

Excited for this!
