Tried and Tested: The Luminizer

Hi everyone!

It’s been a while since I updated my beauty blog and there is so much to talk!

I’ve been busy lately at work, it’s not makeup artistry tho’ but I am back to PR world for Senator-elect Cynthia Villar, almost 3 months ago. I am still going to continue my business for makeup artistry but with limited packages and only good for weekends/holidays. In regards to my teaching, that will have to take 100% back seat and will resume, if time permits. These are the things that I love to do and getting paid for… being a PR maven, Makeup Artist and a Teacher.

Moving on, here’s a new product review that has been tried and tested both for personal and pro use.

The Luminizer serves as: highlighter, shimmer and eyeshadow. All in one package! I opt for the shade of Mary-lou Manizer vs the Betty-lou- bronze shade. I have Asian yellow undertone and oily skin, that’s why this one suits me well. Always remember that oily skin is good for powder and water based formula makeup. I highly recommend this product to your makeup kit and counter! It is a must-have.

Pros

Good for oily and dry skin
Go-to makeup weapon to illuminate tired skin
Nice eye shadow matched with winged-eye and well groomed brows
Vintage and cool packaging
Affordable (given the good quality) Est Php 800+ I forgot the price!
Good for everyday use

Cons

Always Out-of-stock (OOS)
Hoping they have travel size!

Best applied with

Eye shadow primer (MAC, UD or girlee)

Application tips

When day time use, limit your application. It’s not party time yet Aside from using it as a shimmer, eye shadow and highlighter you can also apply this at the outer corner of your eyes during night-time, see Michelle Phan videos for this technique.

Product featured is available at Beauty Bar (The Balm)

Enjoy!

My Shopping Experince in SM STORE at SM SAN LAZARO

The 3-day way sale at SM San Lazaro was utterly fun and exciting. Although I have a full schedule that day, I tried my best to squeeze in a little shopping time to distress.

I’ve been into this place once and revisited since I also have a meeting nearby. I was caught by the big sale Hollywood style word “Sale” at the facade of SM San Lazaro. Not only that, the rodeo ride seems interesting too and it’s for free for every worth 500 single purchase receipt!

Unfortunately I was in my working clothes and didn’t able to rodeo that day. I never thought that SM San Lazaro can be also interesting compare to North. Not that much but it suffice my shopping needs.

The markdowns were incredibly fascinating and the goods are still in good condition especially the ones inside the SM STORE. Soon, the whole mall is upgrading and will have more premium brands.

During the 3-way, days sale… SM San Lazaro also had a raffle draw each day for 7 mini ipad for lucky shoppers plus the TV that I mentioned on my previous entry about SM San Lazaro Sale. Sad but I didn’t win

Aside from being a lover of Makeup and Toiletries, I am a shoe lover and find my self buying 2 pairs from Parisian and I love bed room details! especially bedsheets. I know the texture and thread count that I specifically like and glad I spot one Egyptian cotton in 200 count. I am OC like that with details My husband loved my purchased! If you asked me how many hours I did my shopping? 30 minutes That’s how I did it.

Watch out for the come back of SM San Lazaro, slowly but surely! Now they have more premium brands to start with and not to forget, Penshoppe Accessories store is here first!

Thank you SM Supermalls
