Colourette Coloursnaps Review and Swatches
Friday, June 1, 2018 Philippines
This summer, I have been overusing multi-stain products that give off the “sun-kissed” look. Very much inspired by Nadine Lustre, I’ve been embracing my natural skin (which means no foundation) and just sporting easy blushes.

Matrix Lip and Cheek Tint Review and Swatches
Saturday, January 13, 2018 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines
Highly influenced by K-beauty, we Filipinos enjoy sporting "natural-looking" lips since early 2010's. It is the time when pink and red gradient colors are all I see on teenage girls. And that does not stop there, even people my age (20's) love to look flushed and sun-kissed. The only dilemma I see is that most lip tints have bright red and pink colors that do not perfectly suit our morena skin. Luckily, I have came across Matrix Cosmetics.

Petal Velvet Powder Review | Althea Korea
Tuesday, August 29, 2017
Makeup is subjective. People rate a product due to their preference - finish, color, how well it suited their skin type, the list goes on. This is what makes makeup even more interesting. There are no rules.
However, when it
comes to powder, most of us can agree that we gravitate towards the same
functionalities. Let's weigh in the factors, shall we?
A good powder must:
- Leave your skin shine-free. Powder should lessen shine.
- Be translucent. Colored powder is not really a thing...
- Have no flashbacks. IMPORTANT: Take a photo with a flash and it will reveal if your powder is reliable. You should not look like a ghost.
- Set your makeup in place. This can help especially if you use a liquid foundation or BB creams.
Recently, I came across a new product from Althea Korea. Right after Althea's 2nd birthday bonanza, they launched their very first makeup product which is the Petal Velvet Powder. Let's see if it satisfies all the factors above.
What's Hot
- Shine-free with a silky finish. Check. I am in love with this finish!!! It does not make my skin look dry and flat.
- Translucent. Check.
- No flashbacks. YAY! Another check.
- Sets everything in place. Check. Also, it works well with liquid foundation.
- Leaves skin velvety smooth!!!
- Light to medium coverage. Buildable, as well.
- Comes with a soft and dense puff. I use this to apply the powder onto my face and buff the product with a powder brush.
- Flowery scent. Scent is mild and gentle, which I like. I really hate strong scents in makeup.
- Expiration date is included in the packaging.
- Cruelty-free. Thumbs up to Althea! Animal testing is a big NO.
What's Not
- The only negative thing about this product is that there are no instructions in English which can be a deal breaker for people who can't read Korean.
To be honest, Petal Velvet Powder has exceeded my expectations. I'll let you in a little secret - it is now a part of my Daily Makeup Routine - that's how impressed I am. Althea started out their line strong! This only made me excited about their next product launch, which I hope is a skincare product!
