Sigma Beauty F23 Soft Tapered Contour Brush
Bought for: P480 | SRP: $27 (approx. P1,400)
Bought from: SM Beauty

Just wanna drop by and flex this makeup brush I've been using nonstop lately. It was one of my best purchases this year because it's a brand's bestseller and I got it on a huge discount! I've been planning to get it from the official website of Sigma Beauty but paying the regular price keeps me holding back. Imagine my happiness when I finally was able to get one for myself!


CLAIMS

Say hello to your new must-have contour brush! Perfect for creating a gentle, everyday contour, this fluffy SigmaTech® fiber brush lets you quickly sweep on blush or bronzer. Free 2-Year Warranty. Cruelty-Free + Vegan.

Function: Sweep on blush or bronzer
Unique Feature: Soft, angled brush head
Recommended Use: Create a soft, gentle, everyday contour with powder products
Coverage: Sheer to Medium; Buildable

Additional Info:
Contour jawline + along hairline
Create a chiseled look
Blend contour powder
Emphasize natural contours


This brush comes in a sturdy plastic packaging which I threw away because I don't like plastics, well, that's actually the main reason and I don't think I'll ever use that one  for storage. As expected and always typical to every Sigma brushes, the F23 Soft Tapered Contour Brush is made from the highest-quality fibers (exclusive synthetic antimicrobial fibers). The ferrule is very sturdy as it's made of durable and corrosion-resistant SigmaAlloy™, precious metal plating for shine and strength. The responsibly sourced, lightwood handles are also sleek and durable and is covered with 8 coats of paint plus primer for lasting beauty.

You can really tell that a lot of money and hard work are put into it because the brush has a weight to it and everything looks just polished and even. I bought my first ever makeup brushes from Sigma Beauty and up until now, they look like they've just been bought. Of course, you have to make sure to clean and store them properly.


The brush head is very dense and angled so it easily mimics the shape and hugs the contour of the face. It's very similar to Sigma F84 Angled Kabuki except this one is slightly bigger. It's made of dense bristles that are very, very soft and I cannot stress how much they are of quality. It feels so gentle on the skin and I like that it retains its shape perfectly no matter how many times I wash it. Also, it doesn't shed at all.


This brush lives up to its promise of blending your contour very well and ensure that they look soft and natural. The dense brush does blends everything seamlessly, ensuring that you don't get that sharp,  harsh lines. This brush is very easy to work with and it fits right perfectly to where I want to apply my contour.

Another thing that turns me on is the fact that this brush is multi-tasking too. It can be used as a blush brush or as a finishing brush to dust away excess makeup or powder. You can even use it to set everything to place or use it to apply powder foundation.


I think I will always be a forever fan of this brush and if ever Sigma gets on sale again, I'm sure to repurchase! Any favorites from Sigma you wanna care to share? Happy blogging!

Ecotools Blending and Bronzing Brush
Bought for: $9.99 (approx. P500)
Bought from: an online shop

I'm sorry if I'm bombarding you with makeup tool reviews and that's because I've gotten too much and that I want to get over with it once and for all. This time, we'll be talking about this Ecotools Blending and Bronzing Brush which I got from a retailer of authentic makeups in Shopee.


CLAIMS

The blending and bronzing brush is designed with duo-fiber bristles for buildable application to achieve an even, sun-kissed glow.

Dab brush in cream or powder color. Apply by tracing the number “3” on both sides of face. Start at the top of forehead, sweep down and across the hollow of cheeks, then dust across jawline.


This brush reminds me of my only favorite from the brand Coastal Scents - Classic Buffer Brush Large Synthetic. Both of which has the same density and almost about the same surface area. The Ecotools' are ever so slightly bigger. One thing I just don't really like is that the brush looks old because the bristles turn even more yellowish/brownish over time despite several washes. It's the same with other Ecotool's duo fiber brushes which I'm hoping the brand would improve on.

Also, this brush sheds a bit more frequently than the rest of the brushes I have in my stash. Nonetheless, it's soft and it's not irritating on the skin and it just does the job in giving natural warmth by blending bronzers seamlessly. I like that it's big and fluffy and not too dense so it distributes product well and even.


This is a great investment considering the price and performance. I'm looking forward to repurchase another one if given a chance and I know that chance will be very rare as you will seldom see legit retailers. If you ever find one, the brushes get sold out real fast. So there, let me know what you think of this brush and I'll get back to you shortly after!

Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender
Price: P550
Bought from: Ecotools Lazada

I've already shared my most recent Lazada haul and one of the few makeup tools I got is this Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender. It wasn't in my cart until I needed a few extra bucks to take advantage of the free shipping option. I am so happy that I gave it a go and it feels like I couldn't live without this blender anymore!



CLAIMS

The Total Perfecting Blender  is designed with EcoFoam® Technology to blend primer and foundation for flawless looking skin.Use sponge wet or dry.

When using wet, squeeze excess water until damp. Apply makeup all-over face in a “stippling” or “bouncing” motion to blend product into skin. Dry and display sponge in aerated storage stand until next use.



This blender is very much reminiscent of every beauty guru's all-time favorite Beauty Blenders. The latter is still a bit better in my opinion but Ecotools' are still awesome on its own for the reason that it's about half the price of regular Beauty Blenders. Also, it's vegan and cruelty-free.

I love that it's phenomenal - I mean every corner and part of this blender has its use! It comes with two flat sides which you can use for baking and for concealing. When wet, this sponge grows in size and the butt part is enough to cover a huge surface area so you get the job done very fast and easy. On regular days though, I like using the bigger flat side for foundation because it's more ergonomic. The smaller side is perfect to blend out concealer on smaller surface area.


This product comes in green color which is fine since I always prefer darker shades so stains will look very minimal. I'm still delighted that this sponge cleanses well with my Beauty Blender Liquid Blender Cleanser. Also, compared to other cheap sponges, this go back to its original shape once dried.

Overall, Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender is a great investment. This blends makeup very nicely and seamless on the skin so you get medium-full coverage. As advised, use it dry for fuller coverage and wet for sheer and dewy finish. Either way, I like how my base makeup looks whenever I use this. Also, it's a great alternative for the expensive Beauty Blenders - just saying if you are budget-conscious like me.


You can purchase this product at Ecotools official website or stores here in the Philippines. They have trust-worthy retailers at Shopee, Zalora and Lazada. Just be careful and make sure you are buying from certified official stores because yep, imitations are everywhere!

Ecotools Ultimate Concealer Duo
Bought for: P450 | SRP: P650
Bought from: Ecotools in Lazada

Time, why on hurry? 2019 is almost about to end and here's me still can't keep up with all these drafts and reviews that pile up nonstop. I'm gonna try my best to post as many as I can today and tomorrow so let's see. Without further ado, here's a short review about Ecotools Ultimate Concealer Duo which is part of my haul last 11:11 Lazada sale.


CLAIMS

A pair of concealer brushes to cover imperfections. This set blends liquid products seamlessly and precisely. It includes Detail Concealer Brush (to target spots and conceal discoloration) and Airbrush Concealer (to blend and blur harsh lines). These are perfect for a flawless, spotless complexion.


I intend to keep this blog short because I honestly didn't like them so there's nothing much to say. 'Like' is even probably an understatement because I hated this duo and I think these types of brushes should cease to exist.

Update: I checked Ecotools website and they seem to revamp this duo. Now there's three heads instead of two - the detail and airbrush concealer brushes are now in a dual-ended packaging and they added a different brush to the set which they call the Correct Concealer brush which looks like a mini kabuki.


I have no say on the packaging - it's the typical Ecotools eco-friendly bamboo handles with brush names on the end. The detail concealer looks like a mini paddle-type brush while the Airbrush Concealer looks like a mini duo-fiber brush - both of which aren't my preference for liquid products. I still gave them a try because I was looking for good concealer brushes to add to my collection.


One thing I didn't like is that they are small enough for me not to count on for faster blending and application. They're probably okay only for spot concealing. Second, they are both irritating to use. Both brush head, especially the airbrush concealer, don't have the softest bristles and whenever I apply products with these, I feel like some tiny mustache/beard hairs are piercing my pores.


I'm quite picky with makeup brushes and I only keep the ones that are gentle and clearly, Ecotools Ultimate Concealer Duo didn't make it to the cut. The bristles aren't something to die for. They look dirty and they stain so much. They don't do a great job in blending either for they leave streaks and whatnot. I hope to find better ways of using them or else, I'm throwing them away. They are quite pricey for P650 and I think I could buy so much more better brushes for that price.


Do let me know what you think of these by sharing your thoughts down below! Looking forward for a chat with you! Happy blogging!

Sigma Beauty F42 Strobing Fan Brush
Price: $18 (approx. P950)
Bought from: SM Beauty

Hello, everyone! I haven't had much time to create blogs last week so I'll try my best to publish all drafted posts I have in queue since I still have a day off. Today, I'll be sharing a quick review about a fan brush I got from Sigma.

We all know Sigma Beauty - it's one of the most popular makeup brush brand out there. I personally like most brushes I got from them because quality and performance are really worth your every penny. I've hated a few but they're nothing compared to the ones I absolutely love. What we have and we're going to talk about this time is this Sigma Beauty F42 Strobing Fan Brush.


CLAIMS

Your next highlight staple, this short SigmaTech® fiber fan applies and diffuses cream and powder products precisely for a strobe effect.


Just like all Sigma Beauty brushes, this one is cruelty-free and comes with 2-year warranty. The handle is made of responsibly-sourced, lightweight wood handles and has 8 coats of paint plus primer for lasting beauty. I like that the brand and brush name is printed on the handle because it's beginner's friendly and anyone will have an idea on where it can be used best.

This brush comes with a silver ferrule that is made of durable, corrosion-resistant SigmaAlloy and precious-metal plating for shine plus strength. The bristles are synthetic and anti-microbial and you know that I prefer synthetic over natural bristles when it comes to makeup brushes as I find them longer-lasting. Also, I don't like thinking of harmed animals when I'm doing my makeup so there. They absorbs less product in my opinion and the bristles stay in shape much longer.


Sigma Beauty F42 Strobing Fan Brush has jet black bristles that are soft and dense. I like the size as I can control the area that I want to be highlighted. With this brush, I can highlight my brow bone, nose and chin with ease. It picks up a good amount of product and does a very good job in blending whether it's cream or powder product. It also cleanses very well and shedding was never a problem.

This is a brush that gives you the perfect natural highlight without ripping off your pocket. No wonder it was rated 5 out of 5 in Sigma Beauty website! Such a steal, you all. Now I can say that this is one of those Sigma brushes that made it to my top 10!

Ecotools 360°  Ultimate Sheer Brush
Retail price: P550 ($6.99 in US)
Bought from: Ecotools Lazada

Here's a quick review on a brush that I've been loving lately - Ecotools 360° Ultimate Sheer Brush. I've previously talked about the 360 Ultimate Blend Brush Set and that particular set of blending brushes I did not like. I was hesitant to get this brush initially because I'm tired of disappointments you know (lol), but I pushed through when Lazada went on sale last November 11. It turned out to be one of my best purchases that day after all.


CLAIMS

360° Ultimate Sheer consists of air-soft bristles to help provide a weightless, natural-looking base. Dip brush into your favorite powder, tap off excess and sweep onto face in circular motions. Continue until your desired level of coverage.


I'm very particular with stippling brushes like this and so far, I've only come to like a couple brushes other than this. I love the smaller versions which are the Ecotools Stippling Brush and Real Techniques Stippling Brush. I don't like those that are flat and flimsy and those that are made of long bristles. I've had a bit o f experience with makeup brushes that I can tell which is going to work on me the moment I get to touch and feel it. Apparently, I had a good first impression with this brush from Ecotools and the impression did last!


The brush has a different handle than a standard Ecotools brush. I really like the sturdy blush pink handle because it doesn't stain like the regular handles. Also, it's comparable to high end brushes in terms of weight and feel. I just don't like the taklon bristles used because they stain and becomes yellowish/dirty white overtime even though I haven't used them yet. They can't be removed with regular washing either. It doesn't affect its performance though.

I also like the brush name printed on the handle because it gives me the idea of what it's for. I initially thought that this is a stippling foundation brush but it was suggested to be used with a bronzer. Fair enough, the surface area of the brush is quite big so it would cover and buff product so well onto the skin.


I just learned to apply bronzer very recently and it was something I didn't do very much often before. That was one of my biggest mistake in life but I know better now. I'm happy that this brush helps me get the job done faster and it took me a little to no effort in blending. It doesn't leave any harsh lines at all.

I would say that this brush is also multi-tasking as I can use it to blend my foundation in an airbrush finish. What I would do is to apply foundation with a buffer brush and on days I picked up a 'wrong' brush, I could just use this sheer brush to  blend everything in seamlessly. I could also count on this to blend cream products.


Overall, this brush is of great quality so I highly recommend it especially to beginners. It's one of the best Ecotools brushes I own and I don't mind splurging for another one. It's indeed crafted with quality. I can tell because most stippling brush sheds nonstop, this one did not so far after three washes (I wash my brush every after use). It dries in its original shape and I know know one day the bristles shall worn out but I don't think that's very soon.

Hey there, wassup? It's been days but I still couldn't get over to the 'rush' shopping I did when Lazada and Shopee went on sale last November 11, 2019. I am planning to do two haul posts segregating my purchases from the two of the most popular e-commerce sites in the Philippines. I don't know about you but I'm honestly proud of scoring these items at the best prices I can ever think of.

What I got are mostly makeup brush sets from Ecotools and it took me a lot of thinking to just settle for one brand when I am also itching to get Real Techniques brushes especially the limited edition ones. I'll just prepare for 12:12, I guess. Anyway, if you know what I got and how much I save (to inspire you to save as well), please keep on reading!

Honeybee Gardens Lip Balm in Vanilla Pie
Bought for: Free with points | SRP: P195/4.5g
Bought from: Sample Room

Hey, there! I still have a shift later at work but I'm gonna be blogging about a lip product that I discovered from Sample Room just because I cannot make my eyes and my brain shut down. Don't you worry because this will be very quick. Today, we'll talk about this lip balm from the brand - Honeybee Gardens which is an international brand. It's new to me, I don't know about you.


CLAIMS

Never waxy, not greasy but lasts for hours! Contains jojoba oil to protect and moisturize your lips. Each flavor comes in a convenient twist-up tube. Gluten-free.


INGREDIENTS

Beeswax, Coconut Oil, Jojoba, Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin E, Natural Flavor. The list of ingredients are very basic and I'm sure we're all aware that these are probably the basics of a lip balm - it just depends on the concentration, I guess. Anyway, that's good to know as there are none of those unnecessary chemicals.


PACKAGING

There's nothing really special on the packaging but I gotta say that it's so travel-friendly and I've always liked retractable packaging for lip balms. I appreciate that claims and ingredients are printed on the design so you can easily go through it whenever you feel like. It also has a safety seal. Always a reminder - don't accept if seal is broken. :D



The balm is white, almost opaque in color. It has a very subtle vanilla-ish scent (and I kind of forget that the flavor is Vanilla Pie lol). It's nothing strong so that's good, right?

Anyway, one  thing I noticed is that the balm easily melts upon contact with warm skin. That seems to be a good news in a way that it goes on the lips smoothly. I love the silky and creamy formulation. Could have its cons too because it loses its shape very easily. Good thing, it doesn't melt on its own unless, perhaps,  if the weather is terribly hot and humid. Make sure to keep it in cool, dry places to lengthen its shelf life.

The texture of it reminds me of Petroleum Jellies. It's very light on the lips and is non-sticky. No waxy feeling at all. It keeps my puckers hydrated for a long time too. Other lip balms just emphasize dryness and make it severe but this one did not.


Overall, Honeybee Gardens Lip Balm in Vanilla Pie is really a good all-natural product to buy if you have the money. Personally though, I'm contemplating whether or not to get one because first, this is a product that is hard to find and I've only seen this in Amazon, and on its official website that's based abroad. Also, it's quite expensive for a lip balm when I could've bought a 50ml petroleum jelly for only P50 and both works the same.

If money isn't an issue, go get yourself a Honeybee Gardens Lip Balm and you will not regret it. It works like how it's supposed to! Sorry if I made this blog longer than expected. Anyway, I'm off now. Happy blogging!

Mustus Chlo Gauze Peeling Pad
Bought for: Free | SRP: P1,540
From: Charis Celeb

Hm, so when was the last time I blogged about skincare apart from face masks? I couldn't remember! It was probably because I haven't had much time tweaking my routine and it seemed like I was doing 'shortcut' skincare for the past months. There were times I only use toners or moisturizers on their own but I'm still proud of myself for not skipping the cleansing step! I just had to remind myself to get a cleansing oil because after Althea Korea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser, I felt like I cannot live without one anymore!

Anyway, I'm talking all unrelated stuff to where our spotlight will be in this blog so I guess let's just move forward. Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts about these Mustus Chlo Gauze Peeling Pads I've been using for more than two weeks now. It's one of the skincare items I got from Charis.

Mustus is an unfamiliar brand to me until Charis. It's an independent brand and I'm really grateful that I discover them. So far, I'm liking how it works on me in conjunction with other Mustus products I'll be reviewing in my upcoming blogs.


CLAIMS

This peeling pad eliminates old keratin and impurities with mild peeling PHA, while smoothing out skin texture with parsley extract containing chlorophyll.

HOW TO USE

Use the gauze side to intensively wipe skin with keratin and impurities, excluding eye areas. Then, use the soft side to refine skin texture.


PACKAGING

Product comes in tiny mint green packets and I honestly love it because it looks so pleasing to the eyes and also, they are travel-friendly. You can just simply pop a few sachets on your skincare kit as you travel and use it anytime you want. Every time I tear a packet open, I got this thinking that what I'm putting on my skin is fresh and clean - something that gets exposed to air for the first time. The lesser time it gets exposed, the lesser contaminants there is. I don't have a basis for that comment, it's just my OCD. Lol.

The sachets are housed in an eco-friendly brown bag that has information about the product such as directions, volume, ingredients and stuff. Looking through it, I know these products are made to be cruelty-free.



TEXTURE AND EASE OF APPLICATION

Inside of it are rectangular shaped gauze pads that has a textured side and a plain, soft side. The textured (gauze) side is meant to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and the other one is what I use for extra cleansing. I rarely use the gauze because it's a bit rough for my liking and whenever I do, I just rub it all over my face and neck in just one go.

The soft side is what I use every single time because it's so soft and gentle on the skin. Also, it effectively removes excess oil and dirt - see for yourself as the pad changes in color.

Each pad is soaked in clear, runny essence which is enough for three uses. I don't recommend this but if you wanna save a  bit, you can cut each gauze into two. If you have small areas to cover, a half pad is enough to tone and hydrate your skin. Why three? There are so much essence left even after consuming both pads that you can still soak a clean, dry cotton ball for a third use! No kidding!

However, if you wish to cut your skincare routine short, you can just use the whole gauze to exfoliate, tone and hydrate with the remaining essence. Either way, I think these pads are a great value for money.



PERFORMANCE

These products is rich in vegan-friendly ingredients like Parsley Extract that contains Chlorophyll. I didn't know that is a great skincare ingredient but oh well, in this era, you can put almost anything to products lol. It also has  mild peeling PHA - which I had to Google because I'm only familiar with BHA and AHA lol - which is great for sensitive skin that is prone to irritation and redness. It's also a milder type of acid that moisturizes the skin and increases cell renewal. That's great if you find AHA and BHA quite strong for your skin type.

Using this for weeks, my skin has become more supple and less irritated and I feel a lesser need for using heavy duty moisturizers. My skin feels calmer and it seems to absorb everything that I put on after. It also doesn't feel heavy on the skin, it's incredibly light and it doesn't clog my pores. I experienced breakouts in the first three days but they disappeared with regular use.


Overall, Mustus Chlo Gauze Peeling Pad is a great product to use. I'm just contemplating whether or not to repurchase because it's not cheap, you know? If you have the money and if you want something pure and natural, you better spend for these. It works for all skin types!
