Review: Shawill BB Cream In The Shade 02

Hey Loves!

So today, this is about a review of one of my most favorite BB Creams which is the Shawill Natural-Looking Blemish Balm- Dream of A Line or what is usually known as the BB Cream. I apologize though if I won't be able to show you the box of this product as I've had this for a couple of months already way before I started this blog. Honestly, this is already my 3rd tube of this product so imagine how much I love this. :) So what I did instead is I searched a photo of this product in Google that includes the box:

                               (Photo courtesy of Google.com)


Long before I preferred using foundation, I only relied to BB Creams since I felt it was way milder and had more coverage and that it has everything already: from SPF to good coverage without the need for concealer. Quite honestly, I discovered this product early last year when I was just looking for an affordable BB Cream to use for everyday whenever I was going to work. I bought my first tube of this product then and instantly fell inlove with it especially that for its price, it does have very good coverage. I am not a concealer person, so as much as possible, I don't use concealer unless I see the very need to do it. In addition to that, it was also the time that I preferred BB Creams over foundation, and if I'm not mistaken, I didn't own any liquid or cake foundations except one which was the Revlon cake foundation which was given to me as a gift.

Anyway, on with the review. 

Its claims:

- It has SPF 25
- It helps to shield/ protect and regenerate skin. It covers dark rings, acne marks, uneven skin tone naturally, giving your skin a natural glow.

Net Wt.1.50 FL.OZ./ 45ML

Price: Php 168.00 - very affordable, right? For this amount, you get 45mL of the product.

Once you open the tube, this is how it looks like. It does come in a squeeze tube with a spout on it. Be careful though when you squeeze it because it does have a tendency to produce a lot of the product  than you actually need.

Once you squeeze the product, it is not watery, and the consistency of the product is very thick, which I like:

For this product, a little goes a long way, so be careful when squeezing out the product. In the photo I will be showing below, this is how it looks like when I already applied it on my face. Please note that I didn't use any primers before applying this, I only applied my Celeteque Facial Moisturizer.

If you notice, it does have a dewy finish, but not so dewy that your face will already look oily. However, what I really love about this product is that for only one layer of application, it does have a medium coverage. If you would notice in the picture shown below, for only one layer of this product applied, it was already able to cover my veins in my cheeks.

So of course, what I do is after applying this product, I use a powder to set the BB Cream on my face. This time I used my Nichido Setting Powder in the shade True Natural. After setting it with powder, this is how it looks like on my face, I always make sure that it gives me a matte finish.

In this photo, I already applied my blush as well. I used my Maybelline Cheeky Glow blush which I am also currently loving since it gives that natural blush look like you're not wearing any makeup or blush at all, and my Aido Lipstick in Number 05.

Longevity: It lasts me for about 4-5hours without having to blot or retouch as long as I set it with powder; also lasts me a lot longer when I use a primer before applying this product on my face.


What I Like:

- It has SPF 25
- It really evens out my skin tone
- Though the product has thick consistency, it is very lightweight on the skin and it feels like you're not wearing any BB cream.
- It is very affordable: Php 168.00 only and you get 45ML of the product.
- It comes in a squeezable tube.
- Has medium to heavy coverage.
- Longevity is good: lasts me for 4-5 hours without blotting or retouching.
- Available in all Shawill Counters especially in SM Department Stores-Beauty Department and in Watsons, and as well as in Robinsons Department Stores- Beauty Section and in Metro Department Stores- Beauty Department Stores in Shawill counters.
- I find the packaging cute especially the box which has some glitters and shimmer to it which reflects when light touches it. Hehe!

What I don't like:

- You have to be careful when squeezing out the product, otherwise it will produce too much product than what you need. 
- They have limited shades, if I'm not mistaken, they only have 3. 01 being the lightest and 03 being the darkest.
- If you store the tube upside down (the tube opening at the bottom like it is supposed to be), once you open it, it can be a mess since product has spilled already.

REPURCHASE: YES!!
Like I said earlier, this is my 3rd tube of this product. Though I am now using foundation whenever I go out for work, whenever I am just going to the mall and prefer light makeup with good coverage, this is what I use since there are times that when I am just going to the nearby mall to buy something or to run some errands, I don't bring my whole makeup kit with me, just my Maybelline 2-way foundation powder and a lipstick. :)

I highly recommend  this product to those who are into and those who prefer BB Creams over foundation. Also, to those who are in a budget but wants good coverage. :)

So there you have it, I hope I was able to give you the information you need especially if you are in the hunt for a good BB Cream which is affordable and without sacrificing quality. :)

Budget MakeUp Look: 500 Pesos Makeup Look

Hey Loves!


It's me again.  I apologize for not being able to blog as much as possible as I have been very sick lately and have a lot of things going on especially for the past few days. I promised myself when I started this blog that I will post at least 2-3 times a week so as I can bring you more reviews and updates about my own discoveries and purchases of makeup. Anyway, I am very excited about this post as I have really made sure I was fully equipped in bringing you this makeup look.

I know a lot of our famous Filipina YouTubers have done this as the "500 Pesos Makeup Challenge," I actually got the idea from them and said to myself, "Why not do it as well- blog style?" So yeah, now I present to you my own version of my 500 Pesos MakeUp look. 

I know makeup has been a rage especially nowadays that more and more Filipinas: both students and working professionals alike have been into and I want to give you all especially those who are still students and those who are on a budget something that may be of help. 

The products I used were all bought and can be found and purchased in SM Department Stores nationwide and are also mostly local makeup brands. So, let's get into it. :) I will also be including the prices in the caption for each photo of the makeup products I will be showing below. :)

Here are the products I used:

For the whole face, I used this Careline BB Cream in the shade Nude, which is their lightest shade (I was supposed to get the Natural shade, however, when I swatched it, it was a bit too dark for me). 

Careline BB Cream: Php 120.00

 Nichido Eyeshadow and Blush Palette with free Lip Blush: Php 100.00
 (Budget Pack) 

                       

Aido Budget Pack which includes a pencil eyeliner, compact powder and lipstick: Php 100.00

Nichido Liquid Eyeliner: Php 68.00

Essence Cosmetics Mascara: Php 100.00 (on sale)

TOTAL COST: Php 488.00 :)

Okay, so I used the Careline BB Cream for my whole face, then the Nichido eyeshadow palette for my eyeshadow. I then used the Nichido Liquid Eyeliner to line my upper lids to make my eyes look larger (and at the same time, I am someone who is so obssessed with eyeliners that I don't go out without any eyeliner LOL).  Then for my brows, I used the Aido pencil eyeliner. For the blush, I used the one in the Nichido Eyeshadow Palette (I used the one on the left side since I wanted my blush to just be light and look at least a little bit natural :D) For the lips, to make sure my lips will stay moisturized, I used the Nichido Lip Blush- which is a tinted lip balm. And of course for some color on my lips I used the Aido Lipstick which was also included in the Aido Budget Pack. And lastly, for my eyelashes, I used the Essence Cosmetics Get Big Lashes Mascara. And of course, to set everything up, I used the Aido compact powder as my setting powder.

If you have been reading my previous posts, you will know that my go-to eye makeup is either just neutral browns or smokey. Though, for this one, I decided to do something different by doing something fresh and can be used for a daytime look. And this is the look I came up with:

So there you have it. I came up with this look as I wanted it to look fresh and basically something you can put for a daytime look. I wanted it to look natural and fresh. :) 

If you have seen the total cost of these products, it only cost me Php 488.00 to be able to come up with this look. :) The Php 100.00 budget packs in Nichido and Aido are always available and I don't think they will have that taken away as whenever I pass by their counters, I always see them available and I see they always have a lot on stock. :) I really like how the Nichido palette- both the eyeshadows and the blushes are very pigmented, not something you can expect from a Php 100.00 budget pack but I can say that the quality of their palette is really good. 

So anyway, I hope you liked the look I came up with and I hope this could be of help especially to those who are on a budget. I realized that you can really come up with a good look without spending too much and as well as not to sacrifice the quality of the products you buy. Of course, we don't want to ruin our skin with cheap and horrible makeup products just to look good. :)

That's it for now. I hope you like this post and if there are any products you want me to review, feel free to put them in the comment area below. Also don't forget to follow me here in Blogspot and in my Instagram account: Yhang_Chua to be updated for my future upcoming posts. :)

Review: Aido Matte Lipsticks

Hi Loves!

Today I will be reviewing one my new found favorite brand which is Aido. I know this brand has been existing for some time now though I have never thought of dropping by their counter until recently. Quite honestly, I have never even thought of buying or even dropping by their counter until I was able to see reviews about their makeup products in videos of our Pinay YouTubers who have done videos, both makeup tutorials and reviews about this brand. So with that, I decided to try and check this brand out myself.

As per the videos I have found in our Pinay YouTubers channels, I found out that aside from Nichido, Aido is also one local brand who has budget pack promos which cost Php 100.00 only which consists of an eyeshadow with blush palette and with a lipstick. That was basically the main reason why I decided to check out their counter as I wanted to see and do a review comparing the Nichido Php100 budget pack from the ones from Aido. However, instead of only purchasing the Aido Php 100 budget pack, I was able to discover that they also have lipsticks which are in the shades I have been looking for and are very very affordable.

I was really taken aback as I didn't expect their lipsticks to be of good quality and most of all very inexpensive. Imagine, I was able to purchase matte lipsticks for only Php 25.00 each! Yep, you read that right, Php 25.00 only! In addition to that, longevity is very very good! It can last me for several hours even when I eat or drink and they don't come off that easily. So basically, retouching is not that often. :)

I have been liking brown, neutral and natural shades from makeup products and lipsticks recently and have been on the hunt for them ever since. Though I do also have the Ever Bilena EB Matte Brown lipstick, I wanted to have more of nude and brown lipstick shades I can add to my collection and I can use for everyday.

So let's get on with the reviews. :) Please expect though that this is gonna be quite a long review since I will be reviewing a few lipsticks here. I don't have all the shades though but I these are the ones I have. I will just be doing a separate review on those other shades once I get to purchase them. :) I decided to put all of these in one review so that you will also be able to see the difference in all the shades I will be mentioning in this review. :)

Okay, so let's start with my most favorite shade. The brown one. :)

   

When worn, this is how it looks like. You actually don't need to swipe it on how many times since it is very pigmented. What I also like about this is that though it has a matte finish, it is still moisturizing and won't even dry your lips. Also, like what I said earlier, longevity is very good that as long as you set the lipstick on your lips (like the baking the foundation on your face technique), it will stay on your lips for such a long time that retouching from time to time is not actually necessary.

And this is the swatch I made, that is just a one swipe swatch. So see how pigmented it is and that it does have a matte finish.

Okay, so let's get on with the next shade I have. This also retails for Php 25.00 only and same as the first one stated above, longevity and pigmentation is very good.

So this is the shade in Number 2. If you can actually observe, it has a brown and red shade though also is a matte one. 

 This is how it looks like when worn. Please note though that all the pictures when worn including the first one are worn on itself. I didn't put on any lip balm or moisturizing products on my lips, just the product itself.

And of course, the swatch of this. Observe that this also has a matte finish and as well as that pigmentation is very good. 

 And this is the next shade I have. This is the one in Number 5:

                                               

This is how it looks like when worn:

And of course, its swatch. Notice that it is like a combination of brown with a pink undertone to it. 

So the Aido lipsticks I have mentioned above are all only for Php 25.00 each and is available on all Aido counters especially in Watsons and in SM Department Stores in the beauty section. I am just not sure though if these are also available in Robinsons since there is no Robinsons Malls or department stores near our area so my always go to places when buying makeup are SM malls. What I don't like though is that their shades don't have specific names but can only be classified in numbers. I am not sure though how many shades they have in this line as the ones I have mentioned and showed above are the only ones I have but I am planning to buy from this line since aside from they are affordable, I like the pigmentation and the longevity these lipsticks have.

The next one I will be showing you guys is also an Aido lipstick that seems like is included in a different line of their cosmetics. I have thought that may be the case as it has a different packaging from the other lipsticks I have purchased and stated above and the price is a little bit more than those stated above but still is very cheap. I also got the one with the brown shade, but this one costs Php 56.00

I also concluded that this one is of a different line because instead of numbers they have for the shades, this one is letters instead of numbers. Also, the packaging is different.

                                             

This is how it looks like where worn. What actually surprised me though is that even though this costs more than those stated above, the longevity of this is not as good as the ones I mentioned above, though pigmentation is still very good.

                                              


This is the swatch, like the others, this also is just for one swipe. So look how pigmented this is:

And of course, I also wanted to include here the lipstick I got for free in the budget pack I bought for only Php 100.00 which includes an eyeshadow with blush palette and includes a free lipstick.

The lipstick here though is very disappointing as it is not that pigmented. I was really disappointed with it as I also had high expectations for this like those I have showed above.

Aside from the fact that I wanted to see and compare the Php 100.00 pack of Nichido and Aido, what also primarily attracted me to buy this is that I saw that the free lipstick included was purple, which is my favorite color. Also, I have already tried a purple lipstick from MAC and was able to see that it also suited me well. So I really did have high expectations on this even though I know that this is just a budget pack. The purple lipstick's packaging was similar to their other lipsticks I have purchased for Php 25.00 so of course, I cannot blame myself if I was expecting the same good pigmentation as of the others.

Let me show you first the palette that I purchased that included this purple lipstick. The palette together with the lipstick is part of their budget pack and costs Php 100.00 only.


                                          

Okay, so on with the lipstick. This is how it looks like. It is purple, a light purple but like I said earlier, I was expecting very good pigmentation as well, but was disappointed. 

                                               

As you can notice, though this has the same packaging as of the others mentioned earlier, it doesn't have a number to name or to specify this shade from the others. I don't have any idea why it's like this but what I observed though that in their Aido counter, this shade is not on display for retail purchases and this shade doesn't have a tester as well.


                                               

                                             

 And this is how it looks like when worn, if you can see, it is really not pigmented and just seems like a tinted lip balm.

 But anyway, I guess it was still worth it since I was able to get a new eyeshadow with blush palette for only Php 100.00. So I guess it's still worth it.

REPURCHASE FOR ALL OF THESE LIPSTICKS AND PALETTE: YES!!!!!

I also plan to purchase other makeup products from this brand to test and review since I noticed that they are also all affordable and I wanna check out if the quality is also very good as well. In addition to that, at least I have more products to add to my make up collection. :) The more makeup, the merrier! Haha!

So there you go, I apologize though if this is quite long compared to my previous posts but I hope I was able to give you all the info that may help you decide if you would like to purchase these lipsticks from this brand. 

Let me know though if you would like me to review this Aido eyeshadow and blush palette or if there are other makeup brands and products you would like me to review in the comment boxes below. :)
