Once a secluded island only accessible to fishermen, now a prime leisure resort and residential development. Camaya Coast is located at the southernmost tip of the Bataan Peninsula, about a three-hour drive from Manila but you can also opt for the two-hour Camaya Coast ferry going there from Mall of Asia, like what we did.

A non-drying matte liquid lipstick, with intense water-proof pigments i just 1 swipe that lasts up to 16 hours?

I was a hesitant to try the Maybelline's Superstay Matte Inks at first because I already have more than enough lipsticks. YES! Aaminin at tatanggapin ko na na sobra na yung dami ng lipstick ko dahil hindi rin naman ako masyado lumalabas so may mga lipstick na di masyado magagamit. Still, I went ahead and bought em (kahit wala masyado budget) because I was curious of these viral liquid lipsticks and Maybelline have been releasing really good products lately, so why not? (para na rin sa vlog) I want to see and try for myself how good these lipsticks really are plus, there are really some beautiful shades.



I got a total of four superstay matte ink shades out of ten. Loyalist, Dreamer, Lover and Voyager.

Sale ba kamo!? Last month, Club Clio had their 1+1 Clio Best Sellers promo, I didn't want to miss it! I was a bit late for the sale (like usual) which means I would be getting the leftovers, you can check what I got below.

Btw, Club Clio is now on Lazada and they're having the same 1+1 sale until Feb 28. Yung hindi ko nabili dahil nagsold out na meron sa Lazada, bibilin ko sana pero ang gastos. Haha.

Another first brand of make up for me to try. When Kylie first launched her liquid lipsticks, I didn't buy one because I live in a cave and didn't really knew her that much (sorry) plus I wasn't really into make up back then. Fast forward today, I got into makeup and yeah, here I am spending my hard earned money, making makeup brands extra rich (lol), doing lipstick swatches on the blog and on my youtube channel. Hahaha.



Anyway, I finally got my hands (or lips) on Kylie's lipsticks, her limited edition birthday collection mini lip kits in mattes and velvets. I personally loved more shades on the mattes than the velvets, I can wear almost all the matte shades while with the velvets, there were only about three shades that looked okay on my lips. I expected to like the velvets more but the shades didn't really go too well with my skin tone. :(

The Velvets - LA, Party Girl, Birthday Suit, Sprinkle, Commando, Surprise Me
The Mattes - One Wish, Baby Girl, Angel, August Bug, All Nighter, Gorg



If you guys want to see the swatches of the mattes & velvets of Kylie Cosmetics birthday edition mini lip sets, watch the video below. I have really fair skin and if you have a shade like mine then at least you can check what shades work/look good for us pale skinned girls.

The NYX advent calendar is love! I bought these during the 12.12 Lazada Revolution sale so I got these at a discounted price of P2,400. So that makes these lippies at P100 each. Oh my gosh! (Check the video at the end of this post)



I'm happy that I bought it. I got to try different types of NYX lipsticks. The NYX Lippie Countdown advent calendar contains 3 butter glosses, 3 butter lipsticks, 2 intense butter lip gloss, 4 lip lingerie liquid lipsticks, 3 liquid suede cream lipsticks, 4 matte lipsticks, 3 soft matte lip creams, 1 simply red lip cream and 1 simply vamp lip cream.



There were a few shades I won't be able to wear, specifically the purple ones but there are a number of shades that I'm super happy to get. Mostly from the soft matte lip cream shade. I'm also glad that I finally got to try the raved NYX lingerie.



Before buying this I didn't have any NYX lipstick in my collection, I used to have one but I didn't like the shade that I bought so I kind of never bought any NYX lipsticks after that until today. So now that I've tried all sorts of lipsticks from them, I'm confident to buy more of their lipsticks. Specially, the soft mattes, the formula is so good and it looks amazing on my lips. I actually hated the soft mattes at first because it felt weird but I really like it now that I've used it a couple of times already. Anyway, if you want to see the swatches of all the lipstick in the advent calendar then check out the video below.

Bought these babies during BYS' Big Anniversary blowout. They were selling 3 palettes (2 regular palettes in tins and 1 on-the-go palette) for only P1,499. It's such a steal! I didn't want to miss it, I bought my palettes at the last minute, 3 days before the promo ended since I was in Singapore when the promo started and had a lot to catch up when I came back to Manila. I had to get myself these palettes. Just one regular palette cost P1,199. Palalagpasin mo pa ba yan? Parang buy 1 take 2 na halos.



I actually thought I won't be able to score these palettes anymore but thankfully Patrick was kind enough to take me to SM Southmall to buy the BYS palettes. I wasn't able to score two of the palettes that I was hoping to get, the berries & peaches palettes, apparently they get sold out fast.



I bought two eyeshadow palettes, cosmic & fantasy, the contour palette and the sculpt & glow palette. They just freshly launched the fantasy palette at the time I bought these. Both eyeshadow palettes have colorful eyeshadows, I'm excited and scared, since I've only used nude & basic tones in the past plus a little bit of pinks and reds but I still want to experiment, go out of the box, play around and try to create a look using other colors.



For the on-the-go palettes I got one Matte palette and then instead of getting another on-the-go palette I opted to buy the Contour Trio Powder palette since I really need a contour product for my cosplays. One thing though, the staying power of their contour powder isn't that great, it fades after some hours. I'll need to have re-apply the contour.



That sums up my #BYSturns5 haul. Right now, I'm just hoping and waiting for the exact/similar sale to come back. I'm a sucker for bargains. Lol. Btw, I haven't tried these yet. Will try to create a makeup look for each of the Fantasy & Cosmic palette soon.
