Yeppunonnie: The era of Korean Cosmetics in the Philippines + GIVEAWAY!

 

 Pinays are going cray over Korean Cosmetics and Skin Care. I mean, who wouldn't be obsessed with a glowing and almost perfect skin like the Koreans have? I am one of those Pinays who have been using Korean Makeup and Skin Care as a part of our daily regimen. In this day and age, not only the K-dramas and K-pop that are being loved by Pinoys, we love our K-beauty as well!

Yeppunonnie is a brand new Korean Website that is based here in the Philippines. It means two words, "Yeppun"that is Beautiful and "Onnie"that means Sister (Beautiful Sister). I was lucky to be invited to their soft launching event last Oct. 29, 2016 and it was a lot of fun!
My fiancé and I had our fill with the snack bar full of sweets. Oh my sweet tooth was rejoicing.
They also had stations for skin care, makeup and nail art. We got the chance to watch a live makeup tutorial. I learned a lot of new techniques and I can't wait to try them on.

Yeppunonnie is now up for orders and you will notice that the currency used is Won. So you might need a calculator with you in converting Won to Peso especially if you are on a budget. The last time that I checked www.yeppunonnie.ph there are 45 items that are already available for order here in the Philippines. They also cater for subscription boxes that you can sub monthly.


What I loved the most about the event besides catching up with my friends and meeting new ones, is the loot box! I am so surprised with how much products they gave us! Will you just look at these...

Hit Or Miss? | Pink Sugar Cosmetics Review


Introducing Pink Sugar Cosmetics! A local brand here in the Philippines that launched recently. Their products ranges from fragrances to beauty cosmetics and I am one lucky gal to have won their selfie contest and received a box full of their makeup products.

First of, the packaging. It's well thought of! They have different designs and eye-catching colors. I was beyond gigglish while opening my box. And almost all their makeup products are packaged in sleek black and hot pink fonts. It is so classic, to be precise. I love it! The price range of the products are affordable. So without further ado, let's start with the individual reviews.

Honey, I'm Good Duo Eyeliner (Black)
Whether you're going for that smooth line or that "Adelle on flick cat-eye" look, this duo is perfect. One side is retractable eyeliner and the other side is the felt tip eyeliner. One thing that I don't like about this eye liner is that it's not waterproof. But the best thing is, it does not smudge, honey.

Sugar Tint Lip and Cheek Tint
The packaging is so cute! It reminds me of a candy store. This is supposed to be a lip and cheek tint but you need to be careful when using this on your cheeks because it dries up pretty quickly. It might drag your foundation off its place. But with fast patting motion, you can blend it. Just add small tints at a time. What I actually love about this product? The smell. It smells like strawberry juice! I love using this for that gradient lip effect as well.

HD Lipstick Fancy (Top Swatch) and Matte Lipstick Catfight (Bottom Swatch)
The packaging is pretty and sleek. The smell is of a strong vanilla scent and the pigmentation is so amazing. It stays put and it does not dry your lips.

Eye Candy Eye Shadow Palette (EC-01)
The consistency is creamy and it is pigmented as well. It has a combination of satin and mattes in it. I have tried doing the natural makeup with this and it has that Korean Makeup kick with it. Next time, I shall try the glam version using this palette.

Dual Finish Face Powder (Natural Ochre)
My perfect shade. It is not chalky and my face does not oil up really fast when using this powder. I keep this with me wherever I go and I so love the sleek black packaging as well.

It's Awesome BB Cream with SPF25 (Light Warm)
All hail the BB creams for medium tones! Most BB creams that I have tried has that pinkish tone in it which makes my face super white with a white cast when I use the camera with flash. But this baby has a yellow undertone in it so it is perfect for medium skinned Pinay like me. And it is matte! My skin is very oily and I love how this one sits on my face.

Our lil' Secret Concealer (Medium)
Can I have a larger tube of this? Oh my gosh. The consistency is creamy and the coverage is amazing. It just dries up really fast so you have to be quick in blending this concealer. And my advice is to use your fingers when using this so that the warmth of your skin will slow down the drying stage of the concealer.

Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color (South Beach)
This gives the whole look that amazing warmth and tan. This works as a bronzer and the pigmentation is good as well. If you are the type that loves to bronze up your look then hurry up and get this baby a try.

This is my natural look using Pink Sugar cosmetics! Stay tuned for my tutorial. Subscribe on my channel: Mslaviniaful
