BDJ Box Global Glam: “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful with Covergirl” with Nikita Conwi

I honestly enjoyed the “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful with Covergirl” talk with the pretty and bubbly, Ms. Nikita Conwi. It was really fun and very informative. She discussed about everything we need to know about lip make-up. Since our lips are the highlight of our make-up, it is a must to know the right shade to wear. Our lip shade must complement our face and skin. Who wants to be stared because your lips look odd on you rather than stunning anyway?

So I’m sharing with you the tips and tricks I learned from the talk J

FULL LIPS vs. THIN LIPS

We either have thin or full lips. It’s not a bad thing though. But lucky you if you are a bella with full lips, because you can wear anything. Whether it is creamy, matte, glossy… whatever you feel like wearing! As for the bellas who have thin lips, don’t worry, because you can use light-colored creamy lipsticks plus lip gloss to make your lips look fuller.

CHAPPED LIPS

Now to deal with chapped lips… The best and the natural way to prevent chapped lips is to be hydrated with lots of water. Remember to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Aside from that, Shea Butter is also of big help. Good thing Covergirl lipsticks contain Shea Butter! Also, applying Shea Scrub at night, then leaving a lip balm overnight not just prevent chapped lips, it also smoothen your lips, making it luscious and even more kissable!

PERFECT SHADE

Take note that lipstick shades should be two tones lighter or darker than your skin tone. The darker your skin tone, the darker the lip shade you must use.

If you are a bella who feels ‘prettier in pink’ shades, the tip is to smile J Smile and check your lip shade and gums. The shade of your lipstick must somewhat have the same color or at least near with the color of your gums.

To make your teeth to look instantly whiter, use any lipstick with blue shade. These shades come from the plum family.

KNOW YOUR COLOR and BE COLORLICIOUS:

·         RED

1.       A classic red lipstick should not be too warm and too light

2.       You will know if a red shade is too light when it becomes bluish when you wear it

3.       You will know if it is too warm when it hints an orange tone

·         NUDE

1.       The perfect nude shade for you should not be the same shade as your skin

2.       Smudge a small amount of testers onto your hand and check it against your complexion

3.       The right shade is always one or two tones lighter or darker than your skin

LIPSTICKS FOR YOUR OCCASIONS:

·         SMOOTH NUDES

1.       Ordinary School Days

2.       Conservative Office

3.       Classic Date Night

4.       Casual Day

·         LUSCIOUS PINKS

1.       Lazy Days

2.       School Days

3.       Weekend Hangouts

4.       Family Lunch

·         YUMMY PLUMS

4.       Everyday Casual

·         RICH REDS

2.       Girly Hangouts

TRICKS:

Get that perfect red lipstick by first applying your red lipstick like you normally would, covering your entire lips. Then, dub a darker plum shade towards your pout area.

To make your lipstick last longer, you only need two things: tissue and powder. Place the tissue on top of your lips and dab a little amount of loose powder. That easy! J

I was kinda bitin with Ms. Nikita’s talk because I still want to learn more and even ask questions about lip shades and applying lipsticks. But since the only allotted time per talk is 45 minutes, she had to wrap things up quick. At the end of the talk, she gave away Covergirl lipsticks, pouches and lollipops to bellas who were able to answer her questions. How envious I am! L If only I was seated at the front, I will immediately run to the stage even if she hasn’t finished her question yet. LOL. So for bellas who will be attending BDJ talks in the future, secure your seats at the front if you want to win freebies and other exciting items *wink*.

And as for the bellas who have questions and inquiries about Covergirl lipsticks and their other products, you may contact them directly through Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/COVERGIRLPH) or Instagram (https://instagram.com/covergirlph/).

I hope you learned a lot, like I did J

I wasn’t able to try everything though L  I arrived at the event at around 3pm. And since it was already late, some of the freebies/promos were already given away. So I promised myself that next time, I will make sure to be there early to enjoy all booths.

My favorite experience was the FREE makeover at THE FACE SHOP. After the long wait (because there’s always a long queue at their booth), I finally had my makeover at around 6:30 pm. The ate who attended to me was really nice and accommodating. Even if she’ve been standing there to assist and give free makeovers to bellas nonstop from 10am, still she did mine happily. Too bad I wasn’t able to get her name to commend her properly. Anyway, since I haven’t groomed my brows for a month now, she asked me if I wanted to get Korean groomed. That means making my brows shorter. But I preferred not, so she just put on some light eyebrow make-up. She also used some concealer to cover my eyebags and applied Oil Control Water Cushion all over my face. After which, she applied blush and lip tint using the Lip & Cheek Stain. My lips looked naturally ‘just bitten’. And did I mention the tint tastes sweet? I really like it! Over all, I loved my makeover. I looked fresh and felt prettier *wink*. That made me want to buy the Oil Control Water Cushion and Lip & Cheek Stain J

I also bought Covergirl truBLEND Pressed Powder. I have already tried this product before (thank you BDJ Box December 2014) and good thing it was offered at 30% off during the event. It’s perfect for my skin type because I have an oily face. My skin looked smooth whenever I use it and even lasts for 4 to 6 hrs.

I noticed some unlikable things though. Aside from the The Face Shop, the Status Salon also made a long line. Bellas come out of their booth with glamorous hairs. Of course I also want my makeover! So I fell in line and waited patiently. The flyer/passport says that bellas can get a FREE hair makeover at the Status Salon. So I was surprised to see that they actually charge P 50.00 for every makeover. They also had a 6 pm cutoff so I ended up not having my makeover since the last talk I attended was until 6:15 pm L

But all in all, I enjoyed the event! Congratulations to Belle de Jour for the successful and glamorous BDJ Box Beauty Social: Global Glam! I’m looking forward to more events and promos soon J
