My BB Cream Collection

I am an addict. - A BB Cream Addict! I am head over heels in LOVE with BB Creams mainly because of the benefits it gives my skin unlike with those of liquid foundation, it has a lightweight formula that when applied to skin, it does not feel heavy at all, you don't even have to use a concealer since it does the job perfectly and of course, with continued use, it also has a healing properties that softens and smoothens the skin. It even acts as a sunblock and moisturizer. So why buy different types of products if you can have one product that acts as moisturizer, concealer, sunblock and foundation. 
 ◘ 1. Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream ◘
◘ 2. The Face Shop's Face It - HD Perfect BB Cream ♥ this is my favorite BB cream of all time ◘
◘ 3. The Face Shop's Face It - Power Perfection ◘
◘ 4. The Face Shop's Hydro Splash BB Cream ◘
◘ 5. Skin 79's Super BB Cream ◘
◘ 6. Skin 79's Diamond Pearl BB Cream ◘
◘ 7. The Face Shop's Face It - HD Perfect BB Cream - small size ◘
◘ 8. The Face Shop's Face It - Aqua Tinted BB Cream ◘
◘ 9. Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream - Sheer Silky ◘

Most of the BB cream brand I use is from The Face Shop, I just love their products that is why I am a regular customer, I never had any allergic reaction or whatsoever that is why I keep on buying and trying out their product, they're all tried and tested. I even use their Shampoo, Conditioner and oh, their curling wax is the best! Which they all deserve a separate reviews. :) 

How bout you, have you tried using BB creams too? Let me know, I would love to try them out too :)


Sweet Day to you All!

Missha Goodies

In my previous post, I mentioned that my sister went out of the country for a short vacation right? But I forgot to tell you the goodies she brought home with her for me. She told me that when she was at a mall she saw a huge Missha store and because she remembered me repeatedly telling her before that I would love to try Missha BB creams because I've been hearing a lot of great reviews about it...she immediately went inside and explored the store...she told me that there were a lot of BB creams to choose from and she didn't know where to start looking hahaha! So anyway dear lovelies, here's the Missha goodies she got for me. :)

Missha Perfect Cover BB cream in No. 23 ♥ The Style Lucid Nail Polish in RD04 ♥ Missha BB Boomer sample ♥ Time Revolution Immortal Youth Serum sample

I will have to try the product first before I do a review for you....I usually try the product for 2-3 months before I could do a review just to make sure the product really works and I usually give my skin the so called " transition/adjustment" period. :)

How bout you Sweeties, have you tried any Missha products already? And if yes, how was it? Please do let me know as I love reading your inputs :)


Sweet Day to you All!

Punk Rock Brushies :)

As of last week  (a month now) I am now a proud owner of Charm Travel Pro v3 Brush set. It was really hard for me to decide if I should buy this set instead of The Charm Pro Brush but because of the cute hot pink/black design of the brushes I can't help but give in to temptation. The color combination is really cute it has a girly girl feel but with an edge -  more like a punk rock princess theme. Somehow it reminded me of my very first blog.  That is why I'm calling these babies - Punk Rock Brushies :)


Everybody has a weakness...If Superman's weakness is Kryptonite, I have one too! Chinadoll's weakness is anything P-I-N-K! 


I might do a review about these brushes but let's see if time permits it. But just to let you all know, these brushes are really worth it and I am loving every single brush in fact I'm using it everyday. The stippling brush is my favorite among all of the brushes and I have been using it to apply BB creams since I'm not into liquid foundation and speaking of BB cream, I have a new favorite BB cream and I would love to tell you all about it...soon. :) 



♥hugs and be safe♥

Fresh, Radiant and of course Youthful!

Lately, I've been sporting "Barely there or No Make up" look. It is the most popular look here in Asia and this is a very popular trend with Korean Actresses. Sporting a barely there or no makeup look makes you look fresh, radiant and of course youthful!  


Here are the main products that I use to enhance my features and get that natural glow. :)


1. I apply my day moisturizer first then after 5 minutes I apply the sunscreen and wait for it to dry.
2.  HydroSplash BB Cream from The Face Shop:  Only apply a small amount - pea size is enough for the entire face and neck. Remember a little goes a long way. At first it might make your face a little lighter but don't worry, most BB creams require some time to adjust to your skin tone. Btw, I love this BB cream because it gives you a dewy finish and it's water based. 
3. The Face Shop Finishing Powder in Light Beige: Apply onto the face using a huge Powder Brush. Just make sure you apply only the right amount of powder, we just want to set the BB cream and we want to create a dewy finish.
4. The Face Shop Eyelash Curler: Curl your lashes and apply Mascara. I used Maybelline's Volume Express
5. Redefine your brows. I used Maybelline's Brow Definist
6. TFS Blush in Pink: I am pretty obssessed with pale pink blushes and this blusher gives exactly the natural glow that I'm looking for. This is my new favorite! =)
7.  To finish the whole look, of course do not forget the lipstick! If you want to have that all natural look, you can opt for nude or coral shades. But for a more dramatic look, go for Red lippies. I used Nyx Round Lipstick in Snow White. 

I really don't use concealers because I'm really having trouble looking for the right shade for me. Most concealers appear to be darker than my skin tone so I'm still looking for the perfect one hihihi....but for those who have dark circles around the eye area and if you need to cover some blemishes or dark spots, you need to conceal them first before applying the finishing powder. 

Remember girls, radiant natural beauty never goes out of style. 
P.S. The products in the picture above were all bought by Sweets. Pretty sweet huh? hihihi
Sweet Day to you All!

Ooohh La La Lashes

The first thing that I look at a person is his/her eyes. You can simply read the person's personality and feelings through his eyes. It is a reflection of what a person feels inside. Since the eyes are the mirror of the soul, why not prettify your eyes!    I have always wanted to have a thick, long and curled eyelashes ---badly! I know that it is almost impossible to grow long eyelashes and too bad, I was not blessed for having a medium length lashes just like my mom's. But thank goodness, I found the perfect solution  Eyelash Extension! 
I asked my good friend, Charlene as to where I could get an eyelash extension. I want mine to be done by experts since our eyes are very sensitive. I asked her if she already heard about iLash Salon. She told me that most of her friends from work go there for extensions and she really recommends the salon. And you know what happened next -- APPOINTMENT!


At the salon.....the application...
At first, they will be asking you what type of extensions do you want. You can choose from Fine Natural and Mascara Effect. For each type, you will also be asked what length you prefer they have: short, medium and long. 
I picked medium length with mascara effect since I am very fond curling my lashes and wearing mascara..this would really save me a lot of time. They will also be asking you to fill out a card for their records and ask you to read the details on how the process works before they let you to go inside the room.


First thing...you have to lie down on their reclining couch (which was very comfy) all throughout the application.  They will ask you to look up so they can apply tape to cover your lower lashes and around the eyes that will serve as their guide before applying the extensions. If you feel any stinging during the process, you have to inform them right away so that they could do some remedy quickly. 
The whole process takes 1 and a half hour to 2 hours for Mascara effect while for the Natural lashes, it would only take an hour.


And while the staff was busy applying the tape, I didn't know that Cha was also busy taking my pictures!


Me and Cha (with her newly treated hair) Look at her smile...she's actually having fun taking pictures without me knowing it! But thanks to her though, I have pictures to post in this entry =)


After the application, you will be advised to not to wet your lashes for 12 hours,   You cannot curl your lashes and even apply mascara. You can still apply eyeliner but make sure to not to use liquid and cream based liners. Anyway, you won't be needing them anymore. ☺ They will also be giving you an After-care instructions on a piece of paper.  You also need to go back every 2 or 3 weeks for touch ups.
The VERDICT
I super L-O-V-E it! The extensions emphasized and opened up my chinita eyes. With these extensions having a long, thick and perfectly curled lashes is very easy.  
I had mine done for only 800 Pesos (about $17.29) instead of a thousand pesos (about $21.61) since they have a 20% promo. Not bad at all!
Even though washing my face takes a lil longer because you really have to be very careful to not let the lashes wet or you can't just simply rub your eyes and you have to be very conscious when sleeping, it still feels great to wake up with beautiful lashes! 
How about you? What are your thoughts about eyelash extensions? If you have tried it, how was it?
Keep on smiling and have a sweet day ya'll!

Hi, I am ChinaDoll and I am an Addict!

Bee~you~tee~full Morning Loves! =) It's been a while since I last updated my blog...I'm sorry I know I've been such a lazy and lousy blogger. And I just realized that it has been a year since my last update soooo it's about time to update you with all the things that kept me busy.

I never liked make up...Until I met Ricebunny a.k.a. Michelle Phan.  For those who don't know her, she is a young make up artist who does online make up tutorials via YouTube. Just by watching her videos, little by little I'm starting to learn a lot things...Make up actually does a lot of things not just for making us Ladies Beautiful but it also helps us improve our confidence and self esteem. 


If you would like to learn more, just visit the links under "I ♥ Online Shopping" link at the side bar of this blog, some of the sites even have tutorials on how to properly apply make up, how to determine which type of skin tone and undertone you have and so much more...plus, you can also check out the stuff they sell, some products are of quality and way cheaper than the ones in the malls =)

So for all the ladies out there who would like to "exude the beauty in you" join me in learning more ideas and tricks and unleash our creativity specially in accentuating our inner and natural beauty.





♥Sweet Day to ya'll♥
