During lazy days, I use tinted moisturizers/ base. This is also a good time to stop putting on too much makeup on our faces and let them breathe for a while. Now let's look at what I have in my bucket so far.
AVON Ideal Shade Tinted Makeup Base
Php 500+ (but I could have purchased this on sale so perhaps I paid Php 300+ on this baby. Sorry I've been too irresponsible in tracking how much moolah I spent).
Shades:
- Pink Pearl (corrects dullness & enhances skin clarity)***
- Mint (evens out skin tone)
*** What I purchased

THE RED LIPPIE GOAL: Sunblock + Base/ Primer= Complete Happiness!
Well, Tony Moly happens to have a product which can give you just that! Presenting, the Tony Moly Ice Queen Multi Play Cream SPF30 PA++.
The label says this: "Icy cool and soft creamy touch product with excellent skin smoothing effect and perfect skin barrier power."
I slept the whole of this Sunday! I must have been too tired this week that I didn't have the power to get up except when I had to take some Advil because I woke up this morning with a terrible migraine!
Okay- moving on, today I am going to talk about my review on another Urban Decay baby I have. It's the Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion which I got from Ms. Shen from her makeup sale few weeks ago. Since this is not available in sunny Manila, I decided to get it as I had been looking for a non-silicone primer to compare the two.
Seems like I can't get over with Urban Decay products I always end up coaching myself not to be too impulsive but then when Ms. Shen, a famous blogger had her sale for a cause, I found myself eyeing this primer.
Happy Sunday, Bellas! Hope all is well with you guys.
I was trying on my bridesmaid's dress yesterday for my childhood friend who is getting hitched in June. We knew each other since we were in fourth grade, attended same class up until senior high and he is by the way a guy so imagine my surprise when he asked me and our other friend to be bridesmaids. He does for sure how to value true friends like me (naks!).
Hey there! The time has come!
Today- I am going to share my experience with Majolica Majorca Skin Lingerie Pore Cover SPF20+PA which acts as a primer prior to foundation application. Most of you probably remembered that I blogged about it here as soon as I got one from SM Makati.

The first time I heard about Majolica Majorca hitting the Philippines, I said to myself: "Wow, just the name itself is bongga (translation: fabulous!)!"
Me Says:
- Controlled my oil production
- Smoothening & mattifying makeup base
- Has SPF 20
- Can be mixed with your regular liquid foundie for a quicker application
- A pea size goes a long way
Dislikes:
- May initially appear as a white cast when applied alone however, when blended it disappears.

TIP: I mix this with my foundation at the back of my hand. Squeeze a pea size (less is even better) then take your foundation and squeeze a pea size as well. Mix them with your clean fingers or a brush. Then apply either with a foundie brush or use your fingers, whatever suits you.
This is a decent primer and currently I am loving it. However don't expect that if you apply this product alone that it shall cover all your blemishes or pimples because it won't. It will however reduce the redness and make your pores smaller making it easier for your foundation to glide. Finish off with a loose powder or powder foundation!
Verdict:
4.5 Lipsticks (+)

I thought I'd give you a sneak peak of what I purchased recently and currently road testing. This a primer hoping to make your makeup last longer and reduce pore size. This is Shiseido's answer to the younger generation (like me, naks!)

Must post my thoughts about this product soon! If you share the same story like I do (which means, you a got combination to oily skin), then you have to wait for my post about this!
