MAC wondergirls blush duo




I am raving for Mac's Limited Edition Wonder Girls Blush.

I am not sure if they are being sold locally.. (Glorietta 4 or Rockwell).

I especially like" Aphrodite" because it would suit my skin tone better than the Amazon Princess (which i think suits those with light tones)

aren't they a beauty? :p

FAKE Coach New Poppy Slim Tote


I hope this information will help you figure out whether your coach poppy is real or not:


how to spot a fake Coach New Poppy Slim Tote:
1. FAKE -> it has no silver at the back of the bag. it only has "coach ♥ poppy"
AUTHENTIC ->





2. FAKE -> it has pocket on both sides


AUTHENTIC -> it has NO pocket on both sides







3. Authentic - It has 2 piece hang tag.





Questions?


What's your take?

how to spot FAKE MARCJ by MARC JACOBS

i was about to buy a MJ bag online but when i did some research, I found that Marc Jacobs "nylon" tote doesn't come with dust bag or care card. but to my surprise, some sellers are selling MJ "nylon" tote bag with dust bag, care card or both.

if you check at marc jacobs website, it doesn't include any dust bag or care card..

be wise! :)

MAC Hot planet VS Benefit Coralista Blush SWATCH


SWATCHES


BENEFIT CORALISTA BLUSH


MAC MINERLIZE BLUSH in HOT PLANET

The blue and pink circles are MAC Mineralize Hot planet

The green circle is Benefit Coralista blush


How to Spot a FAKE Coralista Blush




As you can see, I really use my Coralista blush :)


Here are some pointers on how to spot a FAKE CORALISTA blush:

1. Coralista blush is a bit pricey. If they sell this for PhP500 - 900. Most probably they are fake! I am a seller too. I know how much this cost if they get it as a wholesale or single purchase..

2. the original letter ‘t’ is pointed, while the fake one has been cut off.


the left side is the "AUTHENTIC" one. the right side is the FAKE one.

looking at these 2 pictures, the color of the AUTHENTIC coralista box is light orange. the FAKE, is somewhat reddish orange or a bit darker in shade.

3. at the back part, you'll see the ingredients printed in different languages:


the FAKE one, once you peel it. it comes off together with the paper :(:


or sometimes the FAKE Coralista has NOTHING written at the back once you peel it OR only one side of it has something written on it.

NOTE: the ingredients should be written on BOTH sides and it shouldn't come off easily.

4. AUTHENTIC smells sweet. FAKE doesn't smell anything.


5. the packaging of the AUTHENTIC Coralista is sturdy. the FAKE one is shoddy

always ask for the "real" picture.

authentic factory overruns = fake

the body shop VIT. C Skin Boost




THE BODY SHOP VITAMIN C SKIN BOOST

This cost PhP1095 in 30ml pump bottle.

When I first applied this at the Body shop counter, I kinda like the smell - citrus! and the effect on my skin.

You'll easily recognize the difference!

This serum is a clear light gel texture.

You don't need much to cover your entire face.

When you buy this, the bottle doesn't say much. there isn't much information so I had to check online.


I LOVE it because:

it made my skin smoother
and
more radiant

I use this Vit. C first then followed by moisturizer over my cleansed face.

I like this one as compared to Juice beauty..

I got an instant result with the body shop vit. C (as compared to Juice beauty)




and it's pricey too - $45usd!


the Body Shop Vit. C skin boost does a great job!

So, i will DEFINITELY buy this again (and again).


Will I recommend it?

- Definitely! :)

PONDS FLAWLESS WHITE & AGE MIRACLE





PONDS FLAWLESS WHITE

I bought this one in Landmark Makati on sale - 50% off!

I got this for only PhP99.00. Original Price is at PhP199.

Who doesn't like SALE? hahaha

I also bought Ponds Age Miracle for only PhP249 or PhP299. Original Price is around PhP490-550 (not so sure).

Hmmm.. I've been using this "Flawless White (Pink one) for almost a month already.

Sadly, I couldn't see any difference :(

Then I switched to Ponds Age Miracle. I think this one is much better than the Flawless white because it's matte and creamier. Texture is much better than Flawless white..

I'm not sure if it has any visible signs of effect.

Maybe after a month, I can distinguish.



Will I recommend?

Flawless white (pink) - may be not.

Age miracle - I still have to figure it out after a month.

Will I buy?

Flawless white (pink) - nope!


I am thinking of getting the BB cream (it's Korean Brand). A friend of mine tried it and she liked it! Hmmm.. Maybe :)
