Must Buy Make Up For Beginners

When I first learned about make up, I was overwhelmed! So many choices, so little money, so ugly face haha. I know nothing anything about make-up and skin care, tones and the likes. I wish Make Up for Beginners workshop is already a thing back then, wala sana ako masyadong naaksayang pera from buying too much products. Swerte nyo because, this kind of workshop is now a thing and it’s very affordable. And if you are planning to attend Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop and wondering what are the Must Buy Make Up For Beginners, I am here to help you.

Must Buy Make Up For Beginners

Before I start the list, let me just remind you that before applying make up, your face should be clean and well moisturized.

Make Up Primer. You will need two types of primer, one for the face and one for the eyes (which also works for the eyebrow). Why will you need a primer? It will make everything last longer. Eyebrow will stay on fleek for the whole day.

Foundation. Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop will discuss how to find the right foundation for you. If you are going to attend the workshop, I suggest skipping buying this. Of you are here just for the Must Buy Make Up For Beginners, knowing your skin type and if your face is acidic will help you buy the best shade of foundation for you. If your face is acidic, go 1-2 lighter shade. Personally, I prefer BB cushion than foundation.

Loose Powder. This is a must, specially if you have oily skin. And you always have to bring one whenever you go. Oiliness (and dry skin) is next to ugliness, always remember that!

Eyebrow Make Up Kit. Everything is all about the eyebrows, it can make or break your look. What eyebrow make up brand to buy? I love Maybelline Fashion Brow Palette. It’s very cheap and it lasts really long (it’s been a year since I bought mine).

Mascara and eyeliner. These two must go together, all the time and specially if you have thin eyelashes or small eyes. If you will attend Sai Montes Makeup Artistry Basic Personal Makeup Workshop, she will teach you how to apply both and also how to apply false eyelashes.

Eyeshadow Palette. This is a must to enhance your eyes. And though I have no product recommendation, what I can tell you is stay away from eyeshadow with shimmer, not a good idea!

Lipstick. I suggest buying 3 shades, Nude, Pink and Red. Also, buy matte and not the one with shine. Why? With matte lipsticks, it’s like having two kinds, you can go matte as is. If you want shine, just apply lip gloss on top of it.

Make Up Remover. Yup, this is also a Must Buy Make Up For Beginners. Always remove your make up using a make up remover to ensure that all make up particles are removed from your face. Never ever skip this part because dirty face can lead to pimples.

Don’t spend too much on make-up ha, spend on your skin care routine. If your skin is really good, you won’t even need a foundation.

Should you buy make up brushes or not? You don’t have to for now. Most products that needs brush to be applied already included a brush for application.

3 Reasons You Should Add Callidus Electric Towel Rails to Your Home

Nowadays modern bathrooms feature electric towel rails. With these rails, you don’t have to take your towels outside the house to dry them in the sun. The good thing about these rails is that they use very little energy. You can therefore add them without worrying that they might cause you’re your monthly bills to go up. While these rails look like a mere accessory, they bring many added benefits that are outlined below.

1. They Keep Towels Dry

A wet towel is very disgusting. There is no pleasure in taking a warm bath and then drying your body with a wet towel. Such a towel makes you feel like you are still dirty and may even smell moldy. When you rely on the sun to keep your towels dry, you are limited by seasons. The sun can only help during summer season. With Callidus electric towel rails, you will be able to warm your towels throughout the year.

The other advantage is that the rails require less time to dry wet towels. When you depend on the sun, you have to wait until the sun sets to use your towels. Besides that, towel rails come in handy when you want to warm your favorite fabrics such as table clothes, undergarments, blankets and bedsheets. At the end of the day, you are left with few clothes to wash.

2. Prevent Accumulation of Bacteria and Mold

Wet towels create a favorable breeding ground for bacteria and mold. These bacteria can cause serious health problems such as skin rash and allergies. If you share towels with guests that are already suffering from skin conditions, you are also at risk of contracting the disease. This is because the bacteria that are on their skin will cling on the towel and creep on your body when you are drying yourself.

Hanging your towels on electric rails will help in preventing the accumulation of such bacteria. This is because bacteria and mold can’t survive from the heat that is generated by the electric rails. Moreover, electric rails contribute to low water and power bills at the end of the month. This is because the towels don’t have to be washed frequently using the washing machine. In fact, towels require more water for washing and rinsing. There are some models of towel rails that come with programmable controls that enable you to determine when the rails are turned on and off. This means that your rails don’t have to remain switched on throughout the day.

3. They Give your Bathroom a Facelift

Bathrooms that have electric rails look elegant. As a matter of fact, they cause your home to command a higher price in the real estate market. Since they are made from stainless steel and coated with chrome finish, they blend well with the finish of your bathroom. Additionally, electric towel rails are very hygienic than traditional rails. This is because they don’t rust like other rails. This is due to the fact that the moisture on the towel is dried up within minutes. Rusty rails can cause your towels to have horrible stains that are hard to remove.

Very Neri Beddings Review

Believe it or not, I only have 1 set of beddings when we moved here 2 years ago. Syempre new house, new bed, so new beddings din. I was aiming for hotel like bed. May magandang headboard, medyo mataas na kama, duvet instead of kumot and of course at least 3 pairs of pillows. What I did not know or aimed, mahal pala mag maintain ng ganung klaseng bed! Duvet alone is 3000 Pesos and up, swerte if nakasale, less than 2k only. And beddings set with duvet cover is around 5000+ Pesos. It usually includes bed sheet + 2 pillow cases + duvet cover. I still need to buy 4 more pillowcases. Lusakan ng bulsa mga bes.

So for more than a year, wash and wear ang kawawang bed sheet. Recently though, I felt the need to buy more beddings, mga 3 more sets. Kase naman in an asthma related event I attended, it was mentioned that you need change beddings once a week. It will lessen allergy and asthma attack. No asthma in our family but having a new baby, we have to be extra careful.

I bought two more sets from SM Home and thought of buying another one from Very Neri. It’s an online/IG store selling, err, beddings. It’s endorsed or owned by Ms. Neri Miranda (wife of Chito Miranda). I was hesitant to buy at first. It’s hard to buy and not feel the bed sheet. I know you can relate to that feeling. Kaya if you are hesitant to order too, well, this post/ guide is for you.

Very Neri Beddings Review

I actually discovered Very Neri from instagram account of Neri Miranda. I have been stalking the Very Neri Beddings IG for quite a while, deciding if I should take the risk of ordering or not. Well, I decided to give it a go realizing that a lot of mom is in the same position as mine. At kailangan ko na din talaga ng bed sheets no, atsaka wala na akong gustong style sa SM, atsaka very tempting ang mga white with little accents beddings ehhh.

I do not like plain white beddings. OK na yung white with simple designs. So for weeks, nag mimini mini mo ako sa part na ito ng Very Neri Beddings. After mga benteng mini mini mo ko, I decided to viber and send photos of my prospect Very Neri Beddings.

White beddings with designs is 5450, while beddings na ibang kulay is 4967.60 (huhuhuhu bakit po hindi sakto? Mashaket sa ulo). They have pillowcases but white only. G na G na ako to order anything na may blue design since I have dark blue pillow cases. Shipping fee is 300. OO mahal! It’s coming from their Cebu warehouse pa daw.

Placed my order, gave my complete details then recieved a message about downpayment and arrival. Ayyy hindi on hand yung gusto. Napakababa ng EQ ko, I can’t wait for years (chos lang, mga 3 weeks lang naman). I asked for on hand items instead.

Yan lang nagustuhan ko thinking it was on the shade of blue. Paid on November 24(Friday), item was delivered November 27(Monday). My first time to a white beddings. Part of me was excited, part of me was scared and part feeling the pressure of the need to change it more often haha.

Syempre nilabhan ko muna sa Downy antibacterial before using it. Mabuti na lang may dryer na ako, no need to wait for the whole day para matuyo ang beddings.

As soon as I start putting it, medyo nagulat ako, nun lang nag sink in na hindi pala shade ng blue hahahahaha. Gray/ black yung mga drawings beh, color blind ba ako? Hahaha

Keriboom boom pow, (baho boom Boom pow with Downy). Madali ako mag adjust. May pink akong pillowcase. As it turns out, the set I received includes not just 2 pillowcases but 4, 2 na kaparehas ng design ng bed sheet at 2 na pure white only. Still confirming if it was a mistake or if it’s really included on my set. Kaso medyo malaki yung bed sheet . But since madali naman ako mag adjust, sinuksok ko na lang.

I was also surprised with the duvet cover because it has no string on sides. This is the part where you secure the duvet inside. I think I’ll just sew strings on all sides. Mahihirapan yaya ko ikabit ito without the strings.

Doon na tayo sa quality. Wala akong pagsisisi mga bes!!! Feel na feel ko ang pagiging 100% cotton nya. Mala hotel feel na ang bed ko. Hindi man bakas sa mukha nya, feel na feel nya ang bagong beddings namin.

So if nagdadalawang isip ka if Very Neri Beddings is worth the hype, I can say na yes it is. It’s not cheaper than the usual beddings I buy, in fact a bit more expensive but it’s 100% cotton naman. Also, ang daming designs and ang daming choices. If I am not mistaken, marami din for single beds.

By next year, pag natapos na namin ang bedroom project ng mga boys, I am definitely going to order again sa Very Neri Beddings.
