Hey Beauty Addicts! I bring great news! I am delighted to share with you that the annual Beauty Addict Event of Rustan's The Beauty Source is back in Cebu for the second time around.

Being a Rustan's Beauty Addict myself, I have been waiting for this event to come back here in Cebu.  I was ecstatic to find a Rustan's box beautifully wrapped in gold ribbon when I got home from my Jiu Jitsu training. Rustan's The Beauty Source team so graciously sent me these products to try out. I was delighted to find the Jane Iredale Makeup inside since I have been wanting to try out some of their products. This brand has been around since 1994 and have been known to be The Skincare Makeup.


They sent me the Jane Iredale Starter Kit in Medium, where it includes the following:



They also sent me the other products that are not included in the kit:

I have just been really loving earthy tones lately and I find that these really lipsticks really suit my brown skin. These three all have brown undertones to them, thus I decided to swatch them together.


The Mac Lipstick in Mocha, has a Satin finish. It is described as a Peachy Brown shade. It has a creamy texture with a soft cushiony feel to it. This has been my new go-to everyday lipstick ever since I finished my Mac Lipstick in Cosmo a few months back.  You can read my full review HERE.


The Mac Lipstick in Whirl has a Matte finish. It is described as a Dirty Rose shade which can be worn any time of the day in my opinion. I think this shade will look great on a white variety of skin tones. I have already featured this lipstick before in my One Brand Makeup using Mac, see HERE.


The Mac Lipstick in Sin comes with a Matte Finish. It is described as a Deep Dark Blue Red. This is by far my favorite dark lipstick to date. I've received endless compliments with this shade every time I wear it and they often ask what shade I'm wearing. I feel like the Mac Sin Lipstick is so underrated.

Until next time.

Last September 18, 2017 the Cebu Beauty Bloggers were invited to the Grand Opening of the first branch in Cebu for the SophistiKated Aesthetics and Spa.  They are located at the 2nd Floor of Mabolo Royal Hotel. I got to experience a couple of their services plus munch on some sweets and had fun with my fellow beauty enthusiasts.


We also had a bit of chitchat going on here while choosing what services we want to try. You may already be familiar with some our very own Youtubers like Christian, Philline and Chinky. So it was so much fun to be hanging out with this bunch.


As for me, I decided to try their Hair Mask Treatment. It made my hair super soft, smooth and really shiny, but still with volume and did not look flat at all. I'm really happy with the end result and this service only costs Php 349, awesome deal! Also, after 4 days my hair still remained super soft and shiny. I just used a shampoo that is Sodium Chloride-free, which you can get from them as well.


I also tried their Ear Candling service. I was quite curious how this works and was surprised at how it quick it was, probably took about 15 minutes. Their Ear Candling service only costs Php149, wow! Anyway, I just laid on one side, then they placed some type of candle paper formed into a cylinder, small enough to fit inside my ear. I swear, it does not hurt at all. I actually almost fell as sleep while waiting for it to finish. You almost won't feel a thing, you'll just hear the candle paper burning. When it's done, you'll be surprised how much ear wax got sucked into the candle paper.


Apart from Hair Services, they also offer a lot of Hand and Foot services like Hand Spa with Manicure and Mask for only Php249. They even offer Paraffin Wax.

Other Services include:
Waxing
Facials and other Aesthetics services
Laser Hair Removal
Whitening Treatments
Eyelash Extension
Eyebrow Embroidery

These are just few of their services. It's basically a one stop shop beauty spa. I plan to try more of their other services in the coming weeks since everything is really affordable. Overall, I had a great experience during my visit. So we'll see if the staff will be doing a great job as well on my other visits when I try their aesthetics services.

They are open Daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM
located at the 2nd Floor of Mabolo Royal Hotel, just along Mabolo Church
Follow then on Facebook @sophistikatedaestheticsandspa for reservations and price list.


Until next time.
