If you frequent the sites of beauty bloggers and bloggers both in Instagram (follow me at @jesroque) and Youtube, then probably you have, at least once, been swayed to purchase and try out the products they love and rave about. I have a few Instagram/Youtube-made-me-buy-these stories behind the products I currently have, all thanks to online sellers and my relati…
Read moreIf your day is just running around 4-5 hours of sleep max, then a caffeine fix in your system and a good concealer on your face will always be called to the rescue. Before, I am good with those two to start my day but since I am still on caffeine ban (Boo!), I am totally relying with the help of my trusty concealer to keep me looking awake and well, alive. Luckily…
Read moreLast weekend, I spent good 3 hours going through photos saved in my laptop. Due to limited space, I had to erased some and transferred the rest to my hdd. While I was going through those treasures, I realized I still have a lot of backlogs that deserve a space in this humble blog of mine, hence, a series of backlog posts. I'll start it with the Colour Collecti…
Read moreNot all products I try, use and love make it here on MakeUpLove. As much as I want to share to people the things I like or don't like in a product, I sometimes get too excited on using it that I forget to take pictures before using it. But there are also times that I opt not to take pictures and squeeze my brain juices on a review because the product is, well,…
Read moreIt was just minutes ago when I finished my first ever presentation for my MA classes. I have been in too much toxicity in the past that I didn't realize there's still more than that. Well, say hello to my new life! I am not complaining, I am actually liking and getting excited to the new chapters in my life. But for now, I need to bid a nice farewell to my…
Read moreLooking at my recent pictures, I realized how much weight I gained (and still gaining) for the past 6 months. Some may find it odd, but I, actually, am a little glad with the added fats I now have. I hate how I can no longer eat whatever without the fear of gaining weight but I totally love the fact I am starting to get well. Thank you, God! I just hope this posit…
Read moreFor the times when a complete sleep is nothing a but a dream, consider a heavy duty concealer as your best friend. I seldom get a good amount of sleep, hence, dark undereye circles have been very obvious. I have a handful of concealers in my stash but nothing seem to cover completely the evidences of my sleepless and stressful nights. I have had the Hard Cand…
Read moreI do my makeup for about 10 minutes, tops 15, for everyday. For those who think that the time I allot for my everyday face is way too long, well, I exert effort in making my eyebrows well-defined. For those who think that that time is not enough to make my face look decent, can I just say, I don't put much on my everyday mug. I just like my face to look simple b…
Read moreI have been meaning to try Garnier BB Eye Roll-On for the longest time but every time I am in a department store, I tend to forget about it. I don't know why every time I am in need of an eye cream, I always choose those that are plainly eye creams rather than this that has coverage. But one afternoon, while strolling around a drugstore, I saw this and other Gar…
Read moreIf you would live my life, you would understand why a concealer is essential to my system. I rarely get enough sleep because of the things I need to accomplish, papers I need to submit, books I need to read, and games I need to play. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. I like it this way, actually. I am just thankful for concealers that help me hide the f…
Read moreWhen I started beauty blogging, the K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24h was one of first few products I did a review on (let's have a trip down the memory lane by reading my post about it here ). More than a year has passed but my thoughts about this eyeliner remain the same. I love every bit of it, still. Honestly, I tried looking but I haven't found an …
