SPONSORED REVIEW | Rucy's Vanity



Hello! my beautiful amazing readers, today I wanna share with all of a special sponsored review. I am thrilled and honored that Rucy's vanity was so kind to ask me to do a full honest review on their products of my choice. So let's begin!
I choose 5 products from their website : http://www.rucysvanityph.com all of their products by the way are made from Korea. They have lots of different products to choose from makeup, skincare and body care products. I choose their:
1. Green Tea Foam cleansing 
2.Two way cake
3. Quad eye shadow - Neutral bronzed
4. Pearl b.b cream
5. Lip & cheek red stain
 
Starting off with their facial Green Tea foam cleansing
PRODUCT INFO:
BRAND NAME: rucy's vanity
Made in: Korea
WHAT TYPE? Green Tea 
WHAT DOES IT DO? 
Contains collagen with green tea , deep cleansing action, 
remove excessive oil & sebum, power whitening effect
NET WEIGHT: 100ml/ 3.38 oz
The foam cleanser is actually quite big enough for only Php 130.00 only for a 100ml of tube, it's affordable yet a lot of product to love my entire face for this baby. 
The foam cleanser is gently soft on my skin, didn't irritate at first application, nothing at all. I did had a lot of fun applying it on my face while filming a video on their brand. :)
I love how the scent of the facial cleanser has, it's like real green tea in it, and the consistency is semi thick foam to just get deep into the skin and cleansing it throughly.  What I like about the cleanser is that after comparing my normal haggard face  after using this it brightens my face a lot than usual and I feel so fresh, clean  after washing with the cleanser because it removes the oiliness of my skin, since I'm a combo to oily type of skin.

PRODUCT INFO:
BRAND NAME: rucy's vanity
Made in: Korea
SHADE? #21 Natural Beige
WHAT DOES IT DO?
* Two way cake 
* SPF 35 PA  ++

[credits their website : rucy's vanity
  • Whitening
  • Stay matte all day
  • Non-cakey
  • UV Protection
  • Non-clogging
Next I got their two way cake powder foundation and I'm in the shade #21 Natural Beige, it has spf 35 plus double protection strength from UVA rays.  It's not just your ordinary powder foundation it has also whitening effect mineral and protection against the harmful rays of the sun. Their compact comes in a barbie pink box with a shade number and name on the top opening cover. 
The compact powder is in a chic white compact container with a cute puff on top of a lid. 
Underneath the lid is the powder foundation itself, so both powder and puff is separated from each other for sanitary purposes once it's used. 
In real life Natural beige has a light-medium yellow undertone that matches my skin color, for the powder's texture it has a semi matte to satin finish. 
PRODUCT INFO:
BRAND NAME: rucy's vanity
Made in: Korea
WHAT TYPE? Pearl BB Cream 
WHAT DOES IT DO? 
Pearl finish bb cream giving you a natural, radiance glow.
Contains green tea extracts
Whitening & moisturizing with UV protection 
SPF30 PA ++ 
NET WEIGHT: 8ml 
The pearl bb cream comes in a cute small sized silver tube and when I mean small tube here's a comparison from my pond's bb cream :
It's small but a lot of product is in the tube, the tube is made secured lock for the lid to securely be locked in place. 
The pearl bb cream has a creamy to liquidly form but not too water/y though, it's quite thick enough. What the pearl bb cream does it gives you that radiance glow on the face. 
Once blended well it has that glowy effect for that highlight on the face. 
 PRODUCT INFO:
BRAND NAME: rucy's vanity
Made in: Korea
WHAT TYPE? Lip & cheek tint
WHAT DOES IT DO?

This dual-purpose liquid stain gives lips and cheeks a hint of natural-looking colour. Can be used under gloss for added intensity.
NET WEIGHT: 8ml
The lip & cheek tint comes in a metallic red pink tube with a black cap. Also it's made secured lock on the tube for a secured lock.
The consistency is thick like kind of like a jelly type but thick and quite sticky. It has that cherry scent which I like about it, it's not that annoying cherry strong scent, but it's fruity soft scent.
Once blended evenly the tint has a shiny sticky form, but it's not that thick sticky texture where in starts to drip all over the place. But quick tip is when working with tinted lip & cheek is to dab a little amount first because a little comes a long way. 
 PRODUCT INFO:
BRAND NAME: rucy's vanity
Made in: Korea
WHAT TYPE? #3 Neutral Bronzed
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Four eye shadow quad, consist of Neutral bronzed eyeshadows.
The quad eyeshadow has four (4) neutral bronze colors and it comes in acrylic plastic container. The quad comes with a standard eye sponge shown on the photo:
They actually have 3 shades total which is #1 Pink aura and #2 Purple pop. 
I choose The Neutral bronzed because browns, olives and bronze eyeshadows are just perfect for your everyday go-to makeup or in any events because its wearable. 
Each eyeshadows are semi shimmery slightly metallic but doesn't have too many fall outs. Each are super pigmented with just one swatch of each finger I have on and on the back of my hand:

FINAL VERDICT:

Each product from Rucy's Vanity are much affordable:
Foam Cleansing Green tea - Php 130.00
 Two way cake - Php 250.00
Pearl bb cream - Php 70.00
Lip & cheek red - Php 80.00
Quad Eyeshadow - Php 200.00

- I love how each products are made uniquely cute & easy to use for your go-to everyday
- I love how each product works for me because I didn't have any difficulties applying each on myself
- It didn't harm or irritate my skin at all

Other than that I'm happy to have been kindly sponsored by Rucy's Vanity to try out their products and give a full honest review on each.
Special thanks again to Rucy's Vanity :)

HAUL & REVIEW | Class A Makeup Brushes

When it comes to makeup you'll need tools to work with and achieve a flawless clean look. Brushes are my most favorite part when it comes to makeup because these are the tools helping you out achieve any look you are going for. For some professional artists some prefer high quality brushes but for some prefer even though not that high end expensive brush, but what works best, the outcome is still the same. I got these pretty amazing yet affordable Singapore class A brushes. 

I purchased these brushes from a online shop on instagram called sissyshoppe, they have a lot of products singapore made Class A, high end replica's but they're safe & hypoallergenic to use. These are the real techniques brushes a replica Class A's. All brushes came in each specific boxes with each specific names like the original ones.
PRODUCT INFO:
BRAND NAME: Real Techniques
MADE IN/OUT OF: Singapore class A's
NAMES OF EACH BRUSH/SET:
(TOP Pink's)
- Stippling Brush
- SculptingBrush
(LEFT Golden Yellow's)
-Expert face brush
-Powder brush
(Purple Set)
- Starter set
HOW MUCH?
- Stippling Brush : Php 250.00
- SculptingBrush : Php 250.00
-Expert face brush : Php 250.00
-Powder brush : Php 300.00
- Starter set : Php 600.00
WHERE DID YOU BUY THE BRUSHES?
On the back of each box has the same as the real technique's photos of the ones created the real technique brushes were Miss Sam & Nic:
Starting off with the face brushes, each brush has imprinted brand names of the real technique. The base is actually matte - soft made which I like because it's soft touching.
For the weight it's lighter than I expected.
Each brush has specific names also imprinted on the other sides of the handles:
(Top - Bottom)
Powder Brush, Expert/face brush, Sculpting brush and the Stippling brush.
Though it's Singapore class A's replica's the bristles are properly made in-tacked  in their ferrule.
For the bristles they're super soft, the hairs don't fall out.
Next I also purchased they're Real techniques starter set:
I like the fact that they look super pretty made nice in person, because it's made out of high material quality.
I did a little comparison for the brush case itself, on the left side you can see that the original's case texture on the front is not too shiny kind of soft matte looking while on the right side which is the class A case one, the texture of the case is a bit shinny looking.
But both cases has the same material of the brands tags below on the left corners, thick plastic made.
On the other side of the cases there's also a huge difference because the original one is more puffy pillow/y type and silky looking while on the class A case its' flat matte made.
From the overview of the brushes they're just the same as the original ones which is lovely.Each also has they're specific names which I forgot to take pictures of it (SORRY!) but they do have their names on the back portion. 
For the bristles they are properly again made in-tacked well, as well as the base is matte smooth made. No hairs fell out of each brushes. 

For my final Verdict:
- I like that each brush came in their specific boxes
- They're AFFORDABLE for high quality class A brushes
- Each bristles of the brushes are super super soft and well in-tacked in each ferrules
-Each base has that matte - soft texture 
- It's light weight to carry on you hands

CONS:
NONE!

Overall I for my opinion it's not the price nor branded name of the brush, it's how you work with it and how comfortable your'e working with the brush.
It's every artist skill to have a unique skill to work with what ever brush you have.

Till next time as always Take care & "simply love life always"

REVIEW & DEMO | Wand(er) SOLO ROD curler


Hey guys! Lately I have been a little bored with my straight hair, so I wanted to give my hair that voluminous soft curls. Today's blog post is a review & demo on my new Wand(er) SOLO ROD curler, I purchased this last two months ago from a online shop on instagram which is @Candyblushshop, they sell pretty quality of hair curlers which is like this Wand(er) SOLO ROD and they also have the 5 set of removable wand curlers which I believe ranges around Php 4,000.00 plus. But instead I purchased the single one because it's a bit cheaper than the whole 5 set ones. This cost around Php 2,000.00 only.
PRODUCT INFO:
BRAND NAME: DoDo
WHAT IS IT? It's called the WAND(er) SOLO ROD curler
SIZE: 25mm 
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Php 2,000.00
WHERE DID YOU BOUGHT THIS? candyblushshop
WHAT DOES IT DO? 
It's made out of ceramic, easy to use for on the go curled hair, also comes with a free gloves, to help prevent from getting your fingers burned.
The wand(er) ROD's comes in different variety of sizes so you can make lots of styles with your hair if you purchased the 5 pc. set. From spiral, tight to small curls and to big voluminous shiny curls too!
The wand(er) curler is packed with a free glove to prevent your fingers from getting burned because the barrel tends to get super hot. Plus it's wrapped with a bubble wrap to keep the barrel safe from getting damaged while it was shipped to me :)
Inclusions also is a warranty & safety notes about the barrel itself.
The wand itself looks High quality looking because of the ceramic barrel, handle is made out of thick matte high quality plastic not some cheap looking plastic at all.  The wires are also made out thick rubber wires too.
It's "QUALITY CONTROL" passed because it's high quality made. 
Plus the plug comes in a standard type A socket outlet plug.
If you wanna watch how I work with the wand(er) SOLO ROD please watch below my live DEMO on my youtube channel or simply click the video below and enjoy watching :)
For my final verdict, generally It was much easier and convenient for me to use the solo rod curler because I just curled my hair with the wand pointing downwards to achieve the curls I want for myself. Plus I didn't get my fingers burned thanks to the freebie gloves that's included with the wand curler.
It's a great deal for only Php 2,000.00 only because of its high quality .
Till next time as always Take care & "simply love life always"
