The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows! --Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips

The Ramp purchases: Sleek iDivine Original Palette and Charm Pro Brush set


I visited Philippines this January and part of my itinerary was to pick up some makeup tools. I headed to the Ramp at Shangri La mall along Edsa.
First on my list was Charm Pro makeup Brush set. I was so happy that they have a promo and gave me free kabuki brush. I love gifts from purchase! Who does not? :D Next was a makeup  belt bag
To my surprise the Pro makeup set was already  a belt bag itself! Yipee. Happy me. I don't have to buy it separately. Though the separate one in pink is a lot prettier and quality is better but since I already have it on my pro set, I did not see any reason to buy a separate one anymore. :D

I used to use Suesh brush set but it fall short of brush usefulness as the brushes are redundant. I still had loads of other independent brushes that will fit my needs. So I decided to change and just use Charm's Pro. I immediately used it on a photoshoot and was so happy with it. :D I won't detail much on this brush. It's been reviewed a lot by other bloggers and I would just say it's true to what it claims. It's perfect for any makeup artist. I love it so much!


Retails at Php 3500
Each brush is useful
No redundant brush

so useful for makeup artists on the go! :D 


While I was about to pay it, I saw that the Ramp had Sleek too. The idivine eyeshadow palette was at Php650. I did not hesitate to buy as I've read good reviews about it.
