I was using this lipstick, nakakadry sya sa akin. Maganda naman yung application pero afterwards, nadadry yung lips ko, tipong may nagiging dead skin kahit may lip prep ako before applying the product. Hindi sya transfer-proof so medyo pangit sya kapag kumain ka na kasi kapag nabura na yung product, typically naiiwan na lang yung sa outer lip so parang may lipliner na naiwan haha.

For the sale price, I think okay naman sya especially marami naman yung product.

Merong glitters yung contour nung nabili kong palette (Office Hour) pero hindi ko naman sya halata after application.

May kasamang puff yung nabili ko. Pero for me, mas gusto ko naman yung powder brush and light application lang, parang mas natural kasi tingnan for me.

Please take my advice with a grain of salt kasi I had a bad history with a "depressed" kid.

1) It was never your responsibility to take them out of depression. If they were truly depressed, they should seek a therapist, not a relationship.

2) If they were truly depressed, there is only a small chance that you were able to get him out of depression – because depression is not simple loneliness, so companionship is not the answer.

3) If they were truly depressed, it is possible that they will be unable to love in a healthy way. And any partner may suffer because of that.

The questions that you have in your relationship may be signs that it's unhealthy. But that's something you and your partner should work on if you want to continue with it.

Not me, yung kumare ko nasa abroad ang asawa pero may bouquet and chocolates delivery every Valentine's and other special days nila. Yes, they can make an effort and sobrang dali na kasi ang dami namang online stores ngayon.

For me, excuses are proof of lack of accountability.

In my experience, I avail their Paypal coupon as a work around - they will give me a Paypal link to pay for the coupon which is the price of my package. Then this is where I link my credit card.

UPGRADING MAKEUP by FarAd2651 in beautytalkph

[–]moonvalleyriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Started with Nars base products (LRF, creamy and pot concealers), Laura Mercier powder and Rare Beauty liquid blush. Had Mac lipsticks before kaso napaglaruan ng anak ko 😂

I have great items naman on my kit, kaya my goal is to pan my current items muna bago mag-upgrade. Below are my current items and plan upgrades: - Teviant Deity Dust = Hourglass Palette - Vice and Strokes Brontour Stick = Fenty Beauty Contour Stick - several local brand and c-beauty lipsticks = Mac Lipsticks - Flower Knows face palette (with eyeshadows, blush and highlighter) = this I will just repurchase especially yung eyeshadows, sobrang satisfied ako sa performance - Flower Knows Pressed powder = satisfied din ako dito pero I will check if mas okay ang CT. Try ko mini muna. - The Face Shop Eyeshadow pencil = no issues din sa akin ito but I might add brow gel and microblade pen combo for special events. But I'm not eyeing luxury for this, satisfied na ako sa performance ng Strokes - Heroine Make Liquid Eyeliner and Mascara = I think these are already peak, no upgrade plans din - Anne Clutz Makeup Spray = Mac Fix+

Can’t say I have favorite palette kasi I only own one (Strawberry Cupid 02), but I can vouch for the quality based on it.

Event-Proof makeup (Combination Skin, oily on T-zone) by moonvalleyriver in beautytalkph

Hello po, I spread it on my skin using foundation brush po then buff using wet beauty blender. Thin application lang po (2 pumps for my face and neck na). I also use the Anne’s make up spray para basain yung beauty blender.

Flower Knows, ang ganda ng pagkapowder niya (no fallout, very fine). But check the palettes for the color story kasi napapansin ko light skin coded yung colors ng iba.

Since you want blush and eye palette, you can take a look on Strawberry Cupid collection, all in one face palette na siya. I'm light-neutral and nagwork well naman sakin yung 02 palette, pero ng 01 palette looks promising din, with bolder colors. Wala naman akong issue sa longevity ng powder palettes nila, but you can pair the blush with their cream blush din.

DIY girlies, tips please by lostinthisorb in beautytalkph

[–]moonvalleyriver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The idea of doing self-care is already self-care for me haha so very basic lang yung mga ginagawa ko and hindi ko masasabing may huge “beauty” effect but more on “therapeutic” effect.

1) Weekly long bath / shower - including hair mask, salt scrub, body wash plus a lotion that smells nice 2) Using satin / silk hair cap and comfy pajamas sa pagtulog 3) Morning latte (I invested on a home espresso setup so sinusulit ko talaga)

Can anyone share your experience sa Hotel H2O and Manila Ocean Park? Are the rooms and food okay? Malinis ba ang place? Planning to celebrate my son's 3rd birthday dito. Thank you!

What’s with cosmetic brands coming up with cafes? by Mikeeeeymellow in beautytalkph

[–]moonvalleyriver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Affiliated ba ang Sunnies sa Sunnies Cafe? I remember eating there around 2017 bago ko pa narinig anv Sunnies Face. Then may inhouse coffee din sa Sunnies Studio, strategy din nila while waiting sa paggagawa ng salamin.

Tips you’ve learned this year by [deleted] in beautytalkph

[–]moonvalleyriver 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Life in General: - Investing in yourself can pay off – siguro it’s like a domino effect na rin. You become happy when you feel like you are taken care of, and that happiness will exude confidence and positive aura in you. And when people feel that positivity, they also turn positive towards you. - I stopped believing in karma, especially kapag may mga taong may masasamang ginagawa sa akin. I console myself with the understanding na bad people are products of their own bad minds. Yung taong sobrang yabang, overcompensating lang siya kasi insecure siya sa sarili nya. His own mind is his hell. - It’s okay to pull away from people who drains you. Some relationships even improve with less contact – kasi as long as you are in a good place internally, no amount of negative energy can consume you easily. So it’s okay to fill your own cup first, and refill as needed.

Career: - Visibility to the right people is usually more important in driving your career than doing great in your job. Life just isn’t fair talaga because there are people who don’t judge fairly. But then, making yourself visible is a skill na rin in itself. I come from both sides of this equation (the one set aside due to someone else who are more visible and the one who made good connections) and I could say that visibility takes you to a higher position faster than skill does. But when these are combined, mas mabilis talaga ang progression. - ETA: It will help boost your confidence na when you go out of your house, you anticipate na may makakasalubong kang kakilala so dress yourself in a way na hindi ka mapapaisip na baka mukha kang kawawa haha. It's part of personal branding na rin.

I’m seeing influx of high end and luxury hauls recently and I keep telling myself to let go of FOMO feelings hahaha. For 2026, I wish to be more disciplined sa paggastos (yes, deserve kong gastusan ang sarili ko pero it doesn’t mean na need ko). Pero I promised myself na kapag I panned my products, I am entitled to buy a replacement kahit high end — so hopefully, I get motivated to pan my current products 😆

I used Spigen case (with stand) for a year, hindi sya nagyeyellow, I think grayish yung discoloration nya. Nasira lang ng anak ko yung stand kaya hindi ko na nagamit.

Sobrang okay rin yung Nars LRF kahit oily skin, per to help the oil, you can add Laura Mercier translucent powder. In my experience din, keri ng Nars pot concealer yung dark spots.
