Review: Ellana Fetish blush and Sugar tinted lip spa

i got my samples from Ellana a long time ago like hmm July?

Click here for how to get your Free Samples

im not sure if they give free samples at their outlets it will be much ok for you girls at makati, coz this one cost me a shipping fee of P80..as expected they were in a zip locked plastic sampler type, i haven't tried them all, but i did try the blush on, they sent me "Happiness" i was excited about this one coz ive seen a review by Marge/Kikay Trekkie and it looked beautiful on her :D when i tried it on me..it was all Orange! Didn't work =_=

i was skeptical on buying any MMU prods coz they all failed me before like elf powder, the result is also orange =/ i dont know if its only on my skin but elf powder and happiness looks orange to me even before i applied it.

i asked Marge what is her fave ellana prod since im new with ellana, she recommended "fetish" i made an order the other week for a blush and a lip prod, also sponge? :p

Lets Start with the Blush "fetish"

ohh the color looks promising! i bought 1g coz i like tiny things lolz

the 5 peso coin on the cap is almost the size of the 1g blush jar

cap off :)

Result! Chada! LOVE IT! new favorite! thanks marge :"D

peachy-pink shimmer combo love!

Ellana Sheer Natural Mineral Powder Blush in "fetish"

cotton candy pink with sheer shimmer

Pros:

-Very Affordable P100-$2.35 for 1g / P180-$4.23 for 2.5g

-love the result

-handy dandy

Cons:

-mmu jars can be messy sometimes

Conclusion: New Fave! will probably repurchase the big size :D

the tinted lip spa in "Sugar"

wow my lips dry lines all out O_O

facts:
enriched w/ vegetable-derived oils and natural butters. with Allantoin, Vitamin E, Shea butter

fragrance free, paraben free, petroleum free.

Pros:

-Very Affordable P150-$2.35 for 1g

-handy dandy height: 3inches width: 1cm

-ingredients

-smoothing

Cons:

-smells odd (almost like a clay)

-doesn't dry ur lips but it emphasizes the dry lines =_=

Conclusion: Love the color, but youll need to top this with a gloss coz it emphasizes the dry lines of your lips. will probbaly not re-purchase or buy any lip spa tints again..i dont like using lip gloss...feels heavy

what is your favorite Mineral Makeup brand or product? :D

Trying out MMU and Watsons stuffs

Bought them in small sizes coz im going to test them 1st before i purchase the big ones

or i just like mini stuffs..very handy and travel wise. I also tend to get easily bored from a product in no time so buying big sizes is quite not reasonable for my personality..ooh 3 reasons (i just realized too)

Watsons:

♥ St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub 28g

i switched to this one for exfoliating :D

heard so many about this prod, bloggers r raving abt it

♥ Beauty Buffet Charcoal and Cypress Facial Mask

thanks Gellie for sharing this :)

♥ Dual tipped eyebrow sponge applicator

Ellana

♥ Blush on in "fetish" (was very confused on what color to get since "happy" looked very orange on me but thanks to Marge i decided to purchase this one ;)

♥ tinted lip spa in "sugar"

♥ non latex sponge (god its so small) lolz

ill be doing reviews on these prods as soon as i can

Do u prefer Sponge or Brush applicators?

Ellana Cosmetics

I have been seeing this brand on bloggers from Philippines, and have not tried it yet, it got me curious coz of the good reviews. Went to the Ellana website and signed for free samples; i want to test them first before i purchase, just to make sure..gosh i have bills to pay as always. Anyway they emailed back and i had to pay Php80 shipping fee to my place.http://ellanaminerals.com/
This is what they replied (the free samples they are sending to me)Our Free face sampler includes 2-perfect blend foundation, 1-concealer, 1-translucent finishing powder & 1-blush (1/4 tsp each in zip lock bags) that will best match your skin color/undertone. We will recommend colors based on your skin color and undertone.

im excited to get these, and will review them for you :)

P.S.- Im trying to help the ladies who might be interested in this brand. Technically the samples are free but there is a shipping fee of $1.85 which i find debatable HOWEVER this is not the topic here, whats most important is the prods ;D

If you have tried Ellana pls tell me what prod and your thoughts
