Angel Kisses

In one of my Haul-over Wednesday posts, I featured 2 Lip & Cheek creams from Etude House. They are Sweetie Angel and Darling Angel:

Here are swatches:

This is Darling Angel (the one on the right) which is a very light peach, almost nude color. I like using this with heavy eye makeup. It balances the overall look.

This is  Sweetie Angel which, in reality, is a bright pink:

It’s almost like Bobbi Brown’s Pale Pink. This is a good pick-me-up lipstick. This is very versatile, in my opinion. You can wear this with neutral eyes or with colorful eyes. Just be careful with the color combination. You don’t want to end up looking like a clown. I once used this with a bright green eyeshadow and thought that I looked like a clown. Haha! So I switched to Darling Angel. But it worked with yellows, pinks, oranges, blues. Well, I guess it really depends on your skin tone because I used this shade on C with a yellow/pink eye look and didn't work. I used the same combination on another person but it surprisingly worked.

The packaging is good, just make sure that you lock it securely before keeping in your makeup kit. The cuteness factor is also a plus.

The formula is moisturizing. I don’t have any complaints even after wearing it the whole day. But make sure that you apply some lip balm first just to be on the safe side. Plus it’s hard to blend the lipstick with very dry lips. The lip balm allows for a smoother application.

It’s very affordable too at Php200+ for a pot and it will last a long time. It’s only available in boutiques though. I haven’t tried using it on my cheeks and I don’t intend on doing so. I like powder blushes better. Stay tuned for the second installment of my giveaway!

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...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

  I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...

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...
