Pam For The Glam




Hi, Glamazons! I just did a mini unboxing of the EB Advance Glow Out Highlighters. I've attached the video below for you to see how it looks swatched on my arm and on my face.



The EB Glow Out Highlighter comes in 2 shades-- Candelight and Strobe. I got them both specifically for this review and for research on affordable highlighters. Most quality highlighters are just too expensive and I want to be able to recommend budget-friendly alternatives to my readers and friends. So let's get on to the review.

Packaging
Both highlighters come in clear and white compacts. They let you see the products even without actually opening them which is convenient but the overall make also seems a little flimsy and might break easily. It doesn't come with a mirror but that's not really a dealbreaker for me. I just wish the containers were made with sturdier material but at 199 Pesos, I think that's an understandable compromise. I would rather sacrifice the packaging over the quality of the product.

On the Pan
Right off the bat, they both look great on the pan. Candelight reminds me of Butterscotch from Anastasia Beverly Hills Sweets Glow Kit while Strobe reminds me of Becca Champagne Pop and Essence Pure Nude.

Texture
I have to admit that when I swatched them, they felt a little grainy and powdery on my finger. I was getting ready to get chalky streaks and chunky glitter on my arm and face but I was pleasantly surprised to see that once you apply them on your skin, they actually blend well. Make sure to tap off the excess from your brush before brushing them on because you will experience kick up and fall out with them.

Glow
When you've gotten over the powdery feel and actually get around to applying them on your skin, they sort of blend out into a beautiful glow that's blinding when you pack it on but can look natural with a light hand. They don't emphasize lines or pores and make the skin look healthy and supple. Of the two, Strobe is the more subtle shade. It has a light cream-colored sheen that's reflective and makes your skin look moisturized. Candelight, on the other hand, is yellow-gold with flecks of glitter that may seem intimidating on the pan but actually blends well onto the skin. If you want the bronze goddess look, and aren't afraid of straight up gold highlighter this is the highlighter for you. Both give a "wet" or dewy appearance that looks reflective but not at all oily.

All in all, these Glow Out Highlighters are amazing additions to your makeup collection. They are the most afforfable quality highlighters you can buy for under 200 pesos. I highly recommend them to glamazons obessed with getting just the right glow at just the right price. You can buy them at any Ever Bilena kiosk at department stores in malls and at Watsons. Get glowing with these heavenly highlighters!

Thanks for dropping by and may the glam be with you always! :)

Hi, Glamazons! My Skin Origins just launched their newest skincare additions on October 20, 2018. I'm so happy to be one of the first to them and to be present during their product launch. 

They released four new products and repackaged our favorite Brightening Pore Minimizer Toner for a fresh new look in a beautiful see-through bottle.


Hydrate, Breathe, Stay, and Preserve are totally new products while the Brightening Pore Minimizer Toner got a new look.

I got mine a few days before the official launch and after a week of using them, I can already see a beautiful difference.

During and after giving birth, my chloasma/melasma was so bad that I stopped taking pictures and being active on social media. I wasn't really feeling up to doing motdd  and beauty posts because I had to ride out most of my skin issues during pregnancy and I felt that there was so much work to be done with my skin after delivery. My neck, underarms  and face were having hyperpigmentation and acne scar issues that weighed heavily on my self-esteem. There were days when I even avoided looking at the mirror because there were so much of the marks and darkened areas I had to contend with. After I got the go signal for starting my skincare regimen, I went for the products that would speed up skin renewal and lighten my problem areas.  After 2 weeks, the Ultra White Set together with the Power Whitening Bar and Pore No More really improved my skin's appearance. Weeks later, the new products were launched and they were supposed to target my specific skin problems. They are indeed so much different than the products I've been using and I really love the packaging they come in.

How do I use these products? First, I use the Brightening Pore Minimizer to prep my skin after cleansing with Pore No More. Then I gently tap Stay (the serum) onto my face and neck until it's absorbed. At night, I use Preserve as my night cream and it dries into a demi matte finish and I set everything with Hydrate. I always wake up with smooth and supple skin when I use them at night. During the day, I use the Pore Brightening Minimizer and Stay just like my nightly routine but switch out Preserve with Breathe. Breathe is lightweight tinted sunscreen/skincare product that has color adapt technology.  I like using this as my primer for my motds. It doesn't have the usual gray cast you might expect from a product with spf. After Breathe has set on my face, I either use Hydrate to set it for makeup free days or put on some makeup then set with Hydrate.

A week after following this routine, my acne scars on the cheeks are barely noticeable now and the dark spots on my face and neck have lightened significantly. I plan to stick with this new skincare routine indefinitely because it helps me achieve the canvas I want for my motds.

Check these products out for yourself at any My Skin Origins Branch here in Davao City. They have one in Jacinto and one in Matina. You may also order their products at the My Skin Origins online store.

Thanks for dropping by and may the glam be with you always! :)

Hi, Glamazons! Here's an everyday motd I've been using since I gave birth. It's quick, easy, and more or less hypoallergenic. Except for the brow products and eyeliner, I'm currently favoring makeup from Clinique and Ellana Mineral Cosmetics. I've attached the video so you can watch how I do my MOTD. As a sweet bonus, the video features the hilarious voice-over by Jexx Hinggo and Gem Tadefa of The Bro Show.



 Watch the video below to see how I created this look and to hear Jexx and Gem's funny commentary! 


 I hope you enjoy this Pam for the Glam and The Bro Show collaboration because we had so much fun making this video. Thanks for visiting and may the glam be with you! :)
