Did you notice Maine Mendoza’s aka “Yaya Dub” bright red lips? It is really bright and so classic right? In fact that is her signature lip color. I’ve made a previous post here about getting the perfect red lips and now Im reposting it again. Yaya Dub’s Red lips give volume of her full lips.  She is definitely one most stylish celebrity right now and one of its loveliest faces and not to mention very charming. She has this winning smile and perfect set of teeth which compliments her red lips.  Here are the 5 “BEST” Red Lipsticks that i can recommend:

NARS Sheer in Manhunt

1. NARS Sheer in Manhunt What I like best about NARS Manhunt is the color. The consistency is creamy and just sheer enough that it allows you plenty of control over the depth of color and the shade is warm and bright and flattering on every skin tone. Another terrific quality is it layers well, over itselt or with a gloss. If I want a subtle look, I use only 1 layer; to be more glamorous, say, for nighttime wear, apply a 3rd or 4th layer and then a glitter. It’s really outstanding.

2. MAC Lipstick in Russian Red Color plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous.  it’s the epitome of Old Hollywood glamour .  But if you’re looking for an in-your-face, accessory-in-and-of-itself red this is the best. The color is very divine and long wearing.

Another one which is MAC Ruby Woo. This is one of the MAC’s best selling lipsticks. In fact, this is the one Maine Mendoza is using  The Texture is Perfect Matte which is better than any other matte lipsticks.   3. Wet and Wild Silk Finish Lipstick 091 Wet N Wild lipstick is some of the most inexpensive lipstick you can find. I love the price, so I am often looking through their shades of lipstick trying to find one that will look natural and pretty. Finding a beautiful color for such a low price would be like hitting a jackpot! Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick,is an amazing buy. You can have beautiful colored lips and still have money in your pocket at the same time. I recommend this stuff to anyone. For the price,you can afford to reapply it as needed. This is a nice lipstick to use everyday. Try it out for yourself. This is a really nice lipstick choice. 4. Avon Simply Pretty ColorBliss Lipstick So much something at an affordable price. this has a very creamy consistency, great color and glides on your lips well. a good alternative if you’re on a tight budget.

Raving for Red Ever Bilena Matte lipstick in scarlet

5. Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Scarlet I actually like the packaging. Sleek and decent. They’re inexpensive but they don’t look cheap. I especially like the shade thingy on the top. I can easily see the shades without having to open the tubes. Very convenient.  This beautiful, beautiful coral red called Scarlet at the display shelf is a great choice!  Scarlet looks like MAC’s  red but for a fraction of the cost.

Make sure you know how to apply red lipstick. Here are some hot lip tips:

• Apply a lip moisturizer and then a thin layer of foundation.

• After the foundation dries, add a layer of face powder which will help set the lipstick so it will last longer.

• Next, line the lips with a pencil that matches your lipstick. Keep within the natural line of your lip.

• Apply a thin, even coat of the lipstick.

• Blot. Always remember to blot.

• Apply a second coat and you’re ready to go.

My Top 5 Best BB Creams in the Market

Enter the latest craze to hit the beauty world—BB cream, which stands for “Blemish Balm”  is currently among Asia’s hottest beauty products. Where did it come from and how did it become so popular?  It’s a tinted, moisturizing balm that provides light coverage while supposedly caring for your skin.
The formula is reported to have originated in Germany where, due to the cream’s soothing and skin-regenerating properties, dermatologists have been using it for healing scars caused by laser skin surgery.  BB creams helped lessen skin sensitivity, conceal redness, and promote skin’s repairing function. Later on, it gained wider public use as a skin-regenerating product in itself. Famous South Korean actresses then started using it for beauty purposes and since Asian dramas and hallyu is huge at the moment, a craze was born. The trend that started in Korea spread to Japan, China, South East Asia and has since made its way to Europe and the USA.

Application is easy, as you can opt to apply this on your face right after cleansing and toning.  Most BB creams already offer moisturizing and sun blocking properties. Seal it with a light powder foundation or loose powder, and continue with your usual makeup application.

The Body Shop Dragon Fruit Lip Butter: Review and a Closer Look

 

 

This super-moisturising balm leaves lips feeling softer and smoother. What’s good thing about this Lip Butter is all profits from each sale will go to charity!

I just love the smell and feel of this product. I use this as a base before applying ANY lip color. this will prevent your lips from drying caused by lipsticks or just by natural causes. I personally used this product as well and i really feel ultimate hydration in my lips. I also tested this product to my friend who used a very MATTE red lip color and the results were exceptional. Another thing is, this Lip Butter also prevents your lip color from bleeding/ feathering.

 

Model: Charise Que
I used the Body Shop’s Dragon Fruit Lip Butter as a base before applying the lip pencil then the RED matte lipstick. the results are perfect!

 

I also suggest this to MEN who wants to hydrate their lips because the product is colorless and provides a very subtle gloss.

Here’s a closer look at the nominees for the Dragon Fruit Lip Butter Campaign:

SM Advantage Members exclusive offer from The Body Shop

Calling ALL SM Advantage cardholders! It’s time for another exclusive offer from The Body Shop.

The Body Shop goes Virtual

 

The Body Shop Philippines launched this month a virtual movement that aims to put an end to the use of plastic membership cards issued to its “Love Your Body” rewards programme members.

Dubbed “Love Your Body loves Green,” this virtual shift is one of the many ways wherein the company—being an ethical and natural brand—is able to further its commitment to protect the planet, one of the five pillar Values of The Body Shop.

The Body Shop Philippines is also the first-ever The Body Shop market in the Asia-Pacific to adopt this kind of technology that enables its members to conveniently access their LYB membership/ rewards programme anytime, anywhere using an iPad, iPhone, or iPhone 3G/4s.

I find this feature so convenient because i don’t have to bring my membership card with me all the time or I don’t have to worry if I left it at home.

My Virtual Membership Card. This will be scanned in all Bodyshop Outlets nationwide upon purchase of any Body Shop Products. Just show your Iphone/Ipad/Ipod at the cashier.

For the first phase, the virtual cards can be accessed through an iPad, iPhone, or iPhone.  And in two months’ time, other Android Smartphones will have access to it.

TBS Philippines is aiming to encourage as many members as they can, both new and existing, to support the movement by switching to the virtual card.  This way, according to the company, they are able to promote a collective movement that aims to reduce carbon emissions.

All these form part of The Body Shop’s new beauty movement “Beauty with Heart” that places an emphasis on a beauty experience that is more than skin-deep, putting a human stamp on beauty and empowering people to “look good, feel, good and do good.”

For more information on the virtual movement, visit The Body Shop SM Mall of Asia or go to www.thebodyshop.com.ph.
