Prime Time | Majolica Majorca Skin Lingerie Pore Cover.

Remember my post about the Lash King? I was greatly impressed by this mascara that I made a resolve to try other products from Shiseido's 'pocket-friendly' makeup line, Majolica Majorca.

And so the last time I was in the metro, I made a beeline to SM Makati and did some makeup shopping. One of the things I ended up buying was the Majolica Majorca Skin Lingerie Pore Cover for Php 695.

Majolica Majorca Skin Lingerie Pore Cover.

It's a primer/makeup base, and as per the English translation stuck at the back of the plastic box, it 'instantly smoothes concerned pores and red cheeks for a more refined complexion' 

Yay for English literature!

The product comes in a 25g squeeze tube. With a size this handy, the Skin Lingerie Pore Cover can easily fit into any makeup kit.

There's always something so elegant about Majolica Majorca's packaging.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I read somewhere that this product used to come in jars, which I'm not too fond of. I'm glad they now come in tubes, which for me, is more hygienic. It has a long, thin nozzle, and you can control the amount of the primer you use based on how hard you squeeze the tube.

Main squeeze? :)

 Oh, and plus points for this product's sun protection factor - SPF 20 PA+ to be exact.

The gold, perhaps? :)

Now here's how the product looks like.

Just a pea-sized amount...

It's tinted, yes. But it becomes translucent once you've spread it on your skin. 

... spread, spread.

The product has a silky feel, and is very easy to blend. And once it does, you get a nice, matte finish. And true to its description, the Skin Lingerie Pore Cover does a good job of concealing redness and making pores less visible.

Left: Without primer / Right: With primer.

Now what I love most about this product is how it keeps my makeup intact for more or less 10 hours in this unforgiving, makeup-melting, 30-plus-degree Philippine weather. That being said, Majolica Majorca has impressed me yet again!

What I love:

- Hygienic, tube packaging

- Travel-friendly size

- Easy to blend

- A little amount goes a long way

- Silky feel

- Matte finish

- Covers pores, conceals redness

- SPF20 PA+

- No allergies, no breakouts

- Keeps your makeup intact for a good number of hours

- Affordable

What you might not like:

- I really can't think of any, save for the fact that this product comes in one size only :)

Ending this post with an FOTD! (For comparison, you can find my bare face in this post. Haha.)

Products used:
FACE: Majolica Majorca Skin Lingerie Pore Cover, Missha Under Eye Brightener,
SkinFood Good Afternoon BB Cream in Rose Lemon Tea,
The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex Angel Skin Powder Pact
EYES: Ever Bilena Eyebrow Pencil in Brown, BYS Smudgeproof Eyeliner,
Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara
CHEEKS: Tony Moly Cheek Tint in Cherry Pink
LIPS: Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot.

Which reminds me, I have yet to try the Little Humming Book I, which I bought together with this product. Will it impress me the same way the Lash King and the Pore Cover did? We'll see! :)

Fruttare | It's All Good!

Today has been pretty awesome. I got paid for last month's writing gigs, worked on three new paid posts, received several event invites, did an interview for a Mother's Day feature article (thanks, Kumi!), and best of all, became Brand Ambassador for Fruttare!

It's All Good!

Made from real fruit and creamy milk, Fruttare is bound to be your best buddy during the hot summer months. Its vibrant colors, rich taste, and cold touch makes it the ultimate refresher. And it's all natural, too - no artificial colors, no artificial flavors. Just the goodness of milk and the colors of fruit blending deliciously in every Fruttare bar.

There are eight flavors to choose from: Mango, Strawberry, Lime, Orange, Strawberry & Milk, Coconut & Milk, Peach & Milk, and Banana & Milk. And would you believe that there's less than 60 calories in every Fruttare bar? Yep, you can indulge and it's all good. :)

Yummy flavors!

And in celebration of Fruttare's debut in the US, Grammy-Award winning superstar Ne-Yo and platinum-selling artist Cher Lloyd have teamed up to create an original song for the brand. The good part? Us fans are being given this rare opportunity to help create this song!  By simply sharing your 'it's all good' moments in Fruttare's Facebook Page, your happy thoughts and pretty pictures could very well be the inspiration for Ne-Yo and Cher Lloyd's song!

Car won't start? Ride a bike to work and get some exercise while you're at it! #itsallgood
Stuck in horrible traffic? Play games on your smartphone while you wait! #itsallgood
Significant other working overseas? Then what are video calls and messaging apps for? #itsallgood

These are just some of my #itsallgood moments. You know what I always say - imbibe postivity! Make the most out of a bad situation. Never let negativity bring you down. Make lemonade out of life's lemons!

How about you? Care to share your #itsallgood moments? :)

Create your own Website with Web.com.

With all of the competition on the Internet today, your first impression must be a good one. If it is not, then it is sure to be your last impression. There is no such thing as loyalty to companies any more; customers will simply switch to a new brand or business at the slightest hint of a less than professional presentation.

The first thing that a potential customer sees about your business is your website design. Your design must be streamlined and straightforward. Your site should be easy to navigate with good links between pages. If you are doing commerce online, then you must also contemplate how your website design ecommerce will function as well.

Web.com is the company that you can trust when it comes to creating a commercial website that is easy for a customer to use. There is nothing more frustrating for a customer than to go through an entire sales process only to find that the shopping cart is broken or their financial information is not protected. Web.com can help to ensure that your customers never have any of these problems with your website.

If you have not taken a good look at the Web.com website, you owe it to yourself to peruse it thoroughly before deciding on an internet marketing partner or trying to perform that function in house. The reputation that Web.com currently has as a leader in the field was hard won through effective customer service - you would do well to take advantage of that experience.
