Mineral Make-Up


I've read so many good things about Mineral Make-Up and finally, the other day, I decided to give it a try. I got my sample set from Sophie, she mans the sites Mineral Make-Up blog and Beautynomics. She introduced me to Mineral Make-up, but since I still had my loot - I had to wait until they at least become half-used before getting some products!

I got my sample set last Friday, and by just looking at it, I was already intimidaded. What are these mineral make-ups? What's the fuss about it? The looked like ordinary powders, but they were supposed to be better than ordinary make-up. Mineral Make-Up claims to be without harmful chemicals and irritants AND it's supposed to make your skin flawless.

Out of curiousity, I immediately opened the containers and tried them one by one on my hand. And from just sampling them in my fingers here's what I thought about them:

CAROLINE, HYE YEON, ANGEL - I checked their shades one by one, but I later realized that without a brush, they won't blend it well to my skin. You can just imagine the patches I had on my had. (I'm a very curious child you see)

These three items below - impressed me so much!!
SEMI MATTE BEIGE - This was the first one I tampered (what a word!) with, it was love at first try! It's so nice! It's a translucent shade of beige. Love it!
STAR LILY - at first the purple color shocked me. I was wondering why Sophie would give me this shade! But when I tried it on my hand - it came our really nude and pinkish! Nice one Sophie!
RADIANT - I love the shade! It's a perfect highlighter!!

I tried the make-up last Saturday night and the verdict? I was blown over, I was super impressed! The coverage was amazing! With other branded products, I still had to use a cake foundation to cover my red spots and spider veins! But with Mineral Make-Up, all I had to do was sweep the foundation on my face about 3 times. With just a minimal amount of make-up I was able to acheive a flawless finish! It's really amazing. I was shocked and at the same time super glad that I finally tried Mineral Make-Up!

To Shobe Sophie! I love you! I love the sample set! I love Mineral Make-Up!!

    Welcome to the club! Ü

    As far as concealers go, Oceanmist's Saffron Concealer is the best for me.

    Try all the brands and choose what you're most comfortable using. Dami nyan! My personal faves are Oceanmist and Monave. Ü

    What did you try? My face didn't itch with Oceanmist. Ü

    Nikkiz. from GT is selling Oceanmist. Mine naman I got my samples from the Oceanmist site mismo. It's free kasi, you have to pay for shipping lang. Ü

    Let me know how it turns out for you.

    And hope to see you at one of the MMU eb's. Ü

    Sorry didn't get to answer your question! haha

    Yes it's ok to layer and layer. It's best to start with minimal amount then build up as you go with layers. It's really true what they say: Less is more.

    In my case, if I need more coverage, like if I'm going to ho lang chia's, I swirl, tap, then spray on Dickinson's Witch Hazel, then buff. Ü Makes the foundation stay. hehe But you need more foundation that way.

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip s...
