Moyen to Neutral Warm
In my world where enough sleep is very important and most wanted, concealer plays a very important part. I can’t imagine my life leaving the house without this. There are a lot of concealers available in the market today and can be very confusing what brand to get and which one works better.
I’ve tried so many brands of concealers just to find the best match for my under-eye circles wishing that someday I would find my perfect match.
Just last year I found a good concealer, The Balm - Time Balm. I was impressed,(available in all Beauty Bar stores) and still using it. Photo below is “almost finished plastic” pot. This concealer is better than those that I’ve tried before. BUTTTTTTT, as I have promised to my eyes that once I finished a pot, I will try MAC to compare and if I will repurchase or not.
So last Monday, I had a chance to visit MAC in Makati while waiting for my friends. I had a little question and answer portion with their SA regarding with my skin tone and what’s the perfect shade for my skin.
Tenenenenennnn…
I bought MAC Prep+Prime Vibrancy Eye Primer and MAC Moisture Cover concealer. I actually want to try their Studio Finish and Studio Sculp because I’ve read so many good reviews but the SA recommended Moisture Cover. Why not try?
MAC Prep+Prime Vibrancy Eye Primer
Instant eye prep! This quick fix reduces the look of puffy eyes and under-eye shadows while imparting a bright natural radiance to the entire eye area. Perfectly primes the eye for makeup. Use regularly and see those instant benefits become` more permanent! - MAC Cosmetics
It comes with a doe foot applicator that reminds me of my lip-gloss. :)
I’m not sure if this creamy concealer will have a good relationship with my eyes, give me more months and will say my final verdict.. hahaha!
I will probably go back to Time Balm if I will get disappointed with this..
My shade for The Balm is Medium Moyen while for MAC is Neutral Warm 25, now that explains my title. :P

What are your thoughts?
Welcome to the family HONEY LOVE!
I’m not talking about boyfriend whatsoever here. hahaha! :D
I just want to welcome my new MAC pop in my growing collection ♥ The newest tube in the family, MAC Honeylove! I have a thing for lippies. The only makeup I use to brighten up my face (well plus my trusty concealer & my eyebrow kit) haha! I’m not the “eyeshadow + blush-on” type of girl that’s why I invest on lipsticks.☺
As of now, I already have 3 tubes! Weeeeeeee!
Pink Nouveau, Ruby Woo & Honeylove
I love MAC, the vanilla scent & the way it stays on my lips. I love matte finish to be specific. Out of the 3, if you’ll ask me, my favorite is Ruby Woo. It’s probably the most raved red lipstick and my most used lippy. hehehe! :P
So hello Honeylove! WELCOME!!!
If you want to see how the shades looks like, Here’s when I wore the Ruby Woo. Here’s when I wore Pink Nouveau & when I wore Honeylove. ♥♥♥
- How about you? What’s your favorite lipstick?
- Do you have any suggestions of a good MAC shade?

Let’s be honest..
Beauty is not all that interesting (and certainly not more interesting than the dessert menu). But when a confident woman walks into a room, it is entrancing.
She is not usually the one in the plain black dress.
She is the one in the interesting shirt and the vintage skirt, and I immediately want to know where she got them. And she may not be the most stunningly gorgeous woman I’ve never seen, but she has a way about her that can make her one of the most intriguing.
Confidence is captivating, it is powerful, and it does not fade - and that is endlessly more interesting than beauty.

DID YOU KNOW?
lips frame - one of the gentlest parts of your body. Owing to this, they undergo a tough time during the winters and dry seasons. Lack of moisture causes dry and chapped lips which eventually lead to lesions and bleeding. Terrible looking lips pave the way to embarrassment in public. (source)
As a makeup lover, one important item I cannot leave the house without? LIPBALM and everyday I carry with me 2-3 different lipbalms, basically it really depends on my mood which to use. I’m currently using EOS Summer Fruit & Burt’s Bees. It’s like every minute I feel the need to put on a lip balm. Yeah, I’m weird like that.
and today, through this blog post…
LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU GUYS!
the newest addition to my LIPBALM addiction/routine!
When Beauty Bar Philippines announced that Human Nature will be available in their stores I got intrigued with Human Heart Nature. I trust every brand that’s in Beauty Bar! LOYAL CUSTOMER here!
I feel so lucky that I was part of Blogapalooza event because I’ve learned more about the brand and after trying the lipbalm I got hooked! Especially with this peppermint. I love everything that’s mint or with mint. HAHA!
Gandang Kalikasan, Inc., the company that brings you the Human Nature range of natural beauty products is founded on three core principles of being PRO-PHILIPPINES, PRO-POOR, & PRO-ENVIRONMENT.
Made in the Philippines! That’s a plus! Let’s all support our own local brands.
Closer look:
Human Nature was so generous that they gave us bloggers this Human Heart Nature All Natural Spray Sanitizer!
I super love the citrus scent that I always spray it on my hands. (Php75.00)
Definitely, my NEW BEST-FRIEND!
This Human Heart Nature Issue gave me more idea about the company and their advocacies & natural products.
