Ellana Sheer Natural Mineral Powder Blush in Lust

Hello to all...

Another review to share before we enjoy the weekend!!!
I was given a chance to try Ellana Sheer Natural Mineral Powder Blush in Lust. This is a GWP when I bought my Ellana Pressed Mineral Blush Duo in Obsession / Fulfillment shade (review here).
About the product:
Ellana Sheer Natural Mineral Powder Blush in Lust is a Peach pink shade with sheer gold shimmer. Soft-toned powder blushes that are easy to blend, with a light formula that gives you a dusting of color that instantly livens up your complexion, with a healthy rosy glow.

 Indoor picture: Lust shade did not really show off... but my cheeks have a healthy glow!! 

Outdoor picture: shows a pale peachy glow!!!

What I like about the product:
It's 100% mineral... so it’s non-comedogenic, fragrance and paraben free
Has Vitamin E for cell regeneration and moisturizing 
Smooth and soft texture 
Price is affordable which costs Php 180.00/2g and Php 100.00/1g tub 
Very easy to blend 
Locally available thru Ellana Website  

What I don't like about the product:
Color does not really show
Staying power is average, maximum of 4 hours 
In a loose powder form, messy application 

All in all, I still liked it for daily use and because it's FREE =D

By the way, these powder blushes are on a Special Price: Php 153.00/2g and Php 85.00/1g tub. If you want to avail of it, do visit their website.


Till my next post and happy weekend....

Myra Vita Glow BB Cream

Hi guys...

I will be sharing a new found everyday buddy... I was in SM supermarket when I set eyes on this cute little thing. I don't have enough time to spare so I immediately grab this one out and proceed to the cashier. I'm most of the time lucky with my  "Impulse buying"  attitude haha.

Below is the picture of the old and new Myra Vita Glow products.
Myra Vitaglow Tinted Moisturizer. I never had the chance to try this product because it was discontinued...
This is the NEW and IMPROVED Vita Glow Tinted Moisturizer yet named as Myra Vita Glow BB Cream. I don’t think it should be labeled as BB cream considering that it’s consistency is just like a moisturizer that the skin absorbs afterwards. Perhaps, they should have retained the name as tinted moisturizer. I wonder why they have to change the name... just curious!!!

About the product:
Gives a hint of color
Evens out skin tone with a natural coverage
Contains minerals and Vitamin E to keep skin soft, healthy and young-looking
With SPF 15 to protect skin against the sun's harmful rays 
I got the Beige shade (swatch above)...

What I like about the product:
Packaging is small, light weight so very convenient to bring anywhere
Tube delivers enough products and is hygienic too
Formula is light weight, non-greasy, not watery and blendable
Coverage is light and gives you that natural glowing skin
Hydrating to the skin and it’s hypoallergenic
Contains minerals and Vitamin E for a healthy, younger looking skin
Have fine shimmers
Has SPF 15 protection against UV rays
Price is cheap at Php 99.75 for a 20 ML tube
Gives a matte finish when it dries
Evens out skin tone                                                 
Smells good


What I don’t like about the product:
Limited to 2 shades: Ivory (lighter, yellow undertone) and Beige (medium, warm undertone)
Has average staying power, good for a maximum of 4 hours

All in all, I love Myra Vita Glow BB Cream for daily use. It is not heavy on the face and I like that natural glowing effect on my face.... just perfect!!


That's all for now... till my next post!
