Beyond Natural

This blush was a gift. I’ve been using it since September and it still looks like I’ve only received it last week. It’s so compact.

I love this product! I’m not a big fan of Revlon (I’m a Maybelline girl) but I really like this blush/bronzer duo.

It’s great for everyday use. The bronzer is good for contouring. Here are the swatches:

I don’t know if you’ll be able to see them, especially the bronzer on the right as it blends well into my skin. That is why, this is perfect for the no-makeup makeup look.

Like other Revlon products I’ve examined, this one has a funny smell. The smell used to stick to my brushes even after cleaning with the Ellana brush cleaner. That was when I was still using dishwashing liquid to clean my brushes. Now I use Sunsilk green and the smell doesn’t stick anymore.

This blush/bronzer duo does not irritate my skin. No rashes nor itchiness.

It doesn’t last long on my cheeks especially the blush and I don’t have oily skin. I have to reapply every now and then. I also have to sweep my brush back and forth the product several times to get a sufficient amount of blush or bronzer.

On days when I’m wearing red lipstick, I just use the bronzer. On lazy days, I just combine them to get a healthy flush.

The case is sturdy and does not suddenly open up in my makeup kit so it’s great to bring around. I would also recommend this if you’re going to travel.

I’m not sure how much this costs but Revlon is everywhere so you won’t have a hard time finding out. Will I repurchase? Probably not. This will last me a long time.

    I tried to take a pic of it yesterday with my outfit but failed! The lighting in my room is weird. the morning sun makes it too bright that the colors get washed out. i need a tripod!

    it's a Canon powershot A590IS. it's pretty decent for a camera i just couldn't figure out the correct settings when it's morning and when it's sundown. i sometimes try taking pictures with a flash but it's still trial and error. sometimes the colors show, sometimes they don't.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
