NYX Mosaic Blush in Plummy

Hello lovelies!

Hope you're all doing well!

I just want to share with you a blush that I've been enjoying for couple of months now ever since I got it here. My mainstream blushes are pinks and peaches. I never thought a "plummy" named blush would make it on my monthly fave and raves twice. Perhaps I loved it since this "plummy" blush is actually a combination of sheer pink, purple and brown, which makes the blush in general flattering on my skin tone.

NYX Cosmetics product claims over their Mosaic Blushes:
"Like a light switch for the face, this medley of five luminizerscreates a dazzling glow for every skin tone. Our Mosaic Powder Blush canbe used on cheeks, eyes and even lips. The mineral-based formulahighlights, hydrates and helps protect skin. Available in 12 shades."

I've been using this for several months and tadaaaa! Look how messy it is..Sorraaaaay!
I'm not lazy at all, IKR HAHA!

MY THOUGHTS
Pros:
-I gotta love the shade! It's not actually plummy. More like a dusty rose IMO.
-The packaging looks fairly decent. It's also very handy and travel-friendly.
-You'll be getting 5.7g in just one pan. That's a lot for me. (Guess why I haven't hit the pan yet!)
-It's matte and the shade can compliment any skin tone. With fair complexion this would look more brownish than plummy while I've tried it on my morena friends and it looked more like of a natural pink. (Hope you understood my complex description LOL!)
-It's not as intimidating as it's name sound.
-I like the fact that it's sheer, it looks more natural! (This might be a CON for some because yeah, you really need to smash your brush dear! xP )
-Stays for decent number of hours. (Tip: Wear with cream blush and pat this over.)

Cons:
-Little chalky and powdery.
-Hoping NYX would be available on our local Philippine shopping malls.

Have you tried this blush already?
Let me know if you have tried other PLUM shade blushes!
I'd love to hear your thoughts too!

Thanks for reading!
Congratulations you're unto the end of my super "another" informal review LOL.
Likewise, Sorry for any wrong grammar or spelling cause I'm already sleepy now.

Follow me on twitter for more updates.
Or check out my YouTube to see this baby on action.

Alright, Take care!
Ciao!

Haul Prizes: L'Oreal, BeautyUK, NYX from Ateenadj

Hello lovelies!
How was your week?
Hope you all had a blast!
Mine was really tiring yet very fulfilling...
Time management is really the key to accomplish all different things at the same time!

Yesterday, Feb 10th, I got home at around 9 in the evening from work.
When I entered my room, I saw an Air21 package sitting on my table.
I'm actually waiting for 3 parcels so still don't know by that time who sent it and what's inside.

When I've read that it's my prizes from dear Nadj of http://www.ateenadj.com/, 
I immediately opened it and oh gosh! THANK YOU SIS!

I've already met sis Nadj personally. CLICK HERE to see our meetup story in Trinoma. :)
It's a coincidence that she actually won one of my previous giveaway as well.
I'm indeed glad for the loot that I've won from her holiday giveaway.
I didn't expect that it was a lot of goodies!

L'Oreal Total Repair Shampoo

L'Oreal Total Repair Conditioner

L'Oreal Total Repair Night Essence Leave In

NYX Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Sky Pink Pearl

BeautyUK Black Liquid Eye Liner

NYX Jumbo Eye pencil in Horse Radish

NYX Mosaic Powder

She even added a Cracking Orange Nail Polish...SWEET! *blush*


I love L'Oreal shampoo and conditioner!
It's indeed one of my trusted brand of hair products.
 I am alternately using Sunsilk and L'Oreal Shampoo then VO5 and L'Oreal for the conditioner.
I haven't tried this Night Essence-Leave in yet. Will make a review on this in the future. :)


NYX Mosaic Powder in Plummy



BeautyUK liquid eyeliner in Black
I'm using eyeliner everyday so this is definitely going to be useful for me! :)

NYX Loose Pearl Eyeshadow in Sky Pink Pearl
You bet I'd like this color.
Haven't swatch it yet but as a neutral-color  makeup addict, this one is haveyyyy! :)
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Horse Raddish
This one is an additional gift that she sent me...
I think because she knows that I love wearing nail polish muchie! :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIS BAKS NADJ FOR THIS AWESOME PRIZES!
Seriously, This made my day!
*hugs & kisses* (just to be a little different from XO) LOL :p

Check out Nadj's links:
http://www.youtube.com/chari1806

I won 3 giveaways last month of January so I'm gonna call it my "Lucky Kikay Month" LOL! :p
Seriously, I'm really grateful to the blog hosts and sponsors of the giveaways that I've won.
The goodies are big addition to my growing makeup collection. Cheers!
I don't know what did I do that made me as lucky as I am now or shall I say blessed. 
I mean not only from winning goodies but the fact that I'm getting to know a lot of co-bloggers which became my online friends. I'm enjoying the hours that we spend on exchanging thoughts on some beauty products and etc. 

BTW, Just feel free to message me anytime. Make chikka galore or anything you'd like to share with me, as long as the topic is sensible gora share it with me lang ang drama okiezzzz . I'll reply as soon as I can. 'Wag naman 'yung parang mabilisang sagot friend! Ano ko call center agent?! Hahaha! Chos! 'Yung keri keri na conversation lang po ah. No  malicious chorvang chatmate or textmate pls! Hahaha! 

So yeah enough of my craziness! Please stay tuned cause I'm still thinking of what to have on my next giveaway. I know I still have ongoing open giveaways but I think it would be better if I'm going to have an early preparation for the next one since I'm having a tight sched on work already. I'm still waiting for an important announcement from one of my affiliate too. And most importantly, let's live up with the virtue of sharing to other people. I got a loooooot of goodies last month IMO, I think it's rightful to also give/share something and not only just keep on receiving and receiving them.



Again, Thank you so much sissy Nadj for this wonderful goodies!
SOLOMOT BAKS!!! :*

and Thanks to you dear who's reading my post now. :)

Have a great day! :)
Take care!

xoxo,
Jannah

Haul: Accessories from Jannie of Jannieology

Last Sunday, February 5, I received an LBC package coming from
I won her giveaway which is found HERE and
winner was announced HERE.

Here's the awesome prizes that I got:













HERE'S A COLLECTIVE PHOTO OF MY WINNINGS...
(Wee! HONG GONDOOOOO!)

Kudos to LBC! They deliver  even on Sundays!
Just covered my address that's why there's my hankie on the top.

I like all of them!
I love wearing hell-a-lot-of-stuff! 
I like to collect everything from makeup, hair accessories, necklaces, rings, bangles, watch, shoes, clothes...Foods LOL! JK! :p
I mean, I'm a typical type of girl who loves to express myself thru what I wear and what I look like.

My faves among them are:
-The owl-feather-heart necklace
-The piled choker
-The heart key connector rings

THANK YOU SO MUCH JANNIE FOR ADDING MUCH IN MY COLLECTION!
*cyberugs!*

BTW, Jannie also has a YouTube account where she makes tutorials, hauls and random stuffs.
It means so much if you'll subscribe to her channel.


I'd like to share something. more personal to you...
This January, I won not only Jannie's giveaway, I won a total of 3 giveaways.
That is really overwhelming and unexpected.
I guess I'm such a lucky girl.
Did my parents' Feng Shui chorvaness and the amulets that random people gave me really worked?
LOL! Really, even our ex-househelper (sige old househelper nalang, LOL at 'EX') 
gave me one cause she said she liked me daw. Basta 'yun..

But one thing is for sure...I am very, very, very grateful...
I am thankful to God for all the graces I am receiving; To the generous people and of course to those who keeps on supporting my YouTube and Blog. 

When I first made my blog and YouTube back on Aug 2011, all I wanted was to make chikka or friends with others who had the same passion as mine. I didn't expect that I will be able to grow as what I have become now ( In reference to maturity, not the height LOL. I am really petite!) Also, filming videos and typing my reviews made the time fly faster for me (It helped me to adjust with long distance relationship, I'd rather film and blog than to look for other guys out there just to get over with my sadness and boredom. I'm not that kind of girl.) For me, this is more of a passion, fun and enjoyment on meeting new friends. Again, I'd like to reiterate that quality of the friends, viewers and readers is more important to me than the quantity. 
I am happy to have over 5 Humbers (Gay Lingo for 500/ Five Hundred) YouTube subscribers and more than 2 Humbers (200) readers already. I know that's not a huge number but the messages of supports and concerns with sincerity are what makes me feel so blessed.

BTW, Sorry for being MIA lately, I've been busy with my work and Bryan (my LDR bf who came home to P.I. last Jan 20 and will leave on March 1, so I'd like to spend quality time together).

 And in addition to my randomness, I'd like to greet some people. Hello to my loving, sweet, kikay, cool, hot (CHOS! JOKE!) Mamsy (mother, mudra, mama, inay, nanay whatever word you know but we call her MAMSY), my brother's kikay friends, and of course my own truelaloo beki friends in personal life, my best friends, duty mates, batch mates and schoolmates before and to Bryan ( cause I know you check all of my links bhe bhe LOL), my mom's friends (Hi Titas!) and to my constant chikka online friends. Hello! Holla! Hi! :D

Okay this post is getting so long already.
Need to stop blabbing now LOL.


Thank you so much for reading my gratitude message and winnings from Jannie plus
my random sharing!

Let me know your thoughts as well! Mind to comment it down below?

xoxo,
