Update about me :) ❤

Hi beautiful people,

Just a reminder that I haven't ditched my blog site. I still love blogging and sharing my thoughts and experiences with you however, I became quite busy with university. I missed blogging so I will start again, I have so much products to review for you guys. Thank you so much for keeping up with this blog, I really appreciate your support and all your feedbacks. I am now just going to balance my time and make sure that I blog as much as I can.

Thank you for continuing to support me on blogging, 
Sette Ventura :)

Happy New 2O15 and Personal Update ❤

Hi again friends, (This post can be quite personal: Stated in title )

I have been slacking a bit on my blog but ofcourse, I will never neglect it. I have been catching up with a lot of things in preparation for my university course again since I am going to another university studying a more serious degree. I got so much priorities to sort out and sometimes, it's making me so stressed, haha. But I do try and make myself have a breathe-r and relax from time to time. I also, got employed in Debenhams as a temporary restaurant assistant to save up and build more experience for my resume. How fun. It was definitely a good experience and they have a really good working team. I had my drama from time to time there, but I am glad that I have finished my contract thus, saving me from actually quitting lol. I'm proud of myself.

I have accumulated a lot of products to review for my blog and I cannot wait to share it with you all. There are just a few products that weren't working for me properly but the rest are just -- well they changed my life and made me love makeup even more. Lets just put it that way.

I haven't been watching a lot of Youtube Guru's lately since I have soo much to catch up on. However, I do visit my asian friends Youtube channels as well as other blogs. I guess, it is easier if you just find a blog post that is solely dedicated to a product you are looking to purchase or know.

Back a couple of blogposts ago, I have listed a few topics that I will be covering but, unfortunately some cannot be continued. I have now marked those blog post with an indication of (X).

List of blogposts:
  1. Contouring & Highlighting -- Products and Demo
  2. Hair Update -- Colouring, Caring & Products
  3. Arabian Inspired Makeup Looks 
  4. Favourite Highlighters -- Dupes (3 Seperate Posts via undertones)
  5. Review on Desio Lens (Desio VS Geo Lens Yes Style) 
  6. Vlogs.
  7. Update on Everyday Makeup Routine (LINK)
  8. Valentines Inspired Makeup 
Thank you for keeping up with me,
I am very grateful that you have the time to read this.

My first makeup related blog post will be up; later on today.

Love y'all,
Sette Ventura ❤

Beauty Blender VS Dior Backstage Blender ❤


Hi friends, I am so excited about reviewing both these products for you. As you may already noticed; I tend to use my beauty blender quite a lot and it is one of my ultimate favourite beauty tools. It is known for its multi-use of applying make up for the face and its favourited by many makeup artists in the world. Even Real Techniques got the inspiration from the original beauty blender. As much as I do love the real techniques sponge, I still prefer the original beauty blender. 

As you can see in the above picture, I will be providing an elaborated and detailed post about comparing both the sponges. Since, I just recently purchased and indulged myself to own this new lovely sponge by Dior; it got me super excited to try it out and give you all my feedback with a demonstration trial pictures of a before and after effect of my face using the new Dior Star foundation as well as a side by side review comparing both Original Beauty Blender and the Dior Backstage Blender. Its longevity, pigmentation, texture, colour tone, smell etc.

P.S. Here is the LINK of my review on both these blender sponges:


As a starting point, I bought the Original Beauty Blender from this website:
Retail Price: £16.00 

Today, I bought the Dior Backstage Blender from Selfridges&Co. but can also be found in their website and any Dior counter: 
Retail Price: £12.00

--------------------------------------------------
I will be creating another detailed blog post about both of these sponges but merely more information about the Dior Backstage Sponge Blender since it is still new*. 

Thanks for keeping up with me guys, 
Sette Ventura ❤

New Haul! Drugstore and High end (w/ Mini Blogpost) ❤


Hi friends, I just wanted to share with you my haul today as well as a little blogpost on how my day went. Me and my family went to Trafford to spend some quality time and of course, SHOPPING. 
I went to Boots and Selfridges then bought these goodies:
  • Sleek Palette i-Divine - Vintage Romance 141 £7.99 ----- I love the overall theme of this palette, it is absolutely beautiful, the pigments; just everything. The names are so cute as well, it definitely adds a romantic touch.
  • Sanctuary Deep Cleanse Facial - 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask. £7.00 ----- I have heard a lot of people hype about this product so I decided to give it a try. I am a definite junkie when it comes to facial treatment and masks. AHH! 
  • Salon at home - Instant Root Concealer in Light Blonde £9.99----- I bought this product because of its claim but unfortunately, my first impression once I tried it, wasn't good. I wish they provided a sample or tester of this product so I could try it myself and see if it gives the same effect as what was advertised. But once, I tried it on after buying it; it didn't do anything. I am still trying to get the hang of it and trying various ways to see how this product will be ever so productive I hope, for me. Because, it is a pain having to dye my roots all the time especially with this blonde hair, ahhh!  
  • Revlon Colour Burst - Matte Balm in 215 Shameless ----- Love this so much! I have been into purple, violet, and plummy shades recently, and this caught my eye straight away! There were only a few quantities left at the Boots Drugstore and most were used and somewhat ruined. Even this product that I have bought got a single fingerprint. It is quite disappointing how people can not just try one product that clearly says the, 'tester' sign. Oh well, I just needed it soooo much. haha.
  • Kiehls Skin Rescuer - Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator £29.50----- I am in a strict skincare schedule since last week and have been using various of masks, derma roller, microdermabrasion and so on, to help hydrate, nourish, cleanse, and resurface the skin layer of my face since I do have hay fever, my skin is reacting differently. Causing it to break out so much. Ugh. Back to the topic, I bought this product because every two days, I will be treating my face with some sort of 'trauma' that causes it to go red and irritatingly hot. I got this product as a little sachet sample from Kiehls. And It helped calm my skin also reduce the redness. I just fell in love with the effect of this!  
  • Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment w/ Avocado £20 ----- As I am running out of the Lancome Genefique Yeux (eye cream), I decided to prepare myself and buy another one, something that was somewhat organic yet cool to use (because its green, duh its avocado* haha) I can't wait to update you guys on this product. 
  • Kiehls Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Shampoo (Sample Size came with purchase)
  • Midnight Recovery Eye (Sample Size came with purchase) 
Dad treated me by buying me 10 macarons but I ate the rest ha ha . Pistachio Macarons flavour.


Trying out swatches in the back of my hand in Selfridges of new products and products that I am thinking of purchasing in the future. Shu Uemura just came out with a wide range of eyeliner colour selections. They are very pigmented and it claimed to be waterproof. They do fade a bit, If you do not apply as much. ALSO, they came out with a new mascara; In which I was hesitant to buy as I really do love the tokyo lash mascara. I will probably just wait and see If I can resist haha. It is the 'Petal Lash Mascara' £20 by the way.  

My dad also treated the family by going to TGIF (Thank God Its Friday), love the name! haha. It was his first time as well as my brother, eating there. So I definitely pushed them to go in and try the steak or ribs with the Jack Daniel Sauce. While they are absorbing the savouriness and smell of their food. I just ordered their burger in which I can recall was the 'chef's favourite', you will probably see that option on the menu when you go to TGIF. haha. It was ok, not really a big fan of bacon. However, stopping the mumbling about myself. My Dad and brother loved their food so much that my Dad even commented, (translated to english) 'I know where we are going to eat now, every time we visit  Trafford'. haha, Despite, its price; It is definitely worth it.

  • Essence Big Bright Eyes Highlight it...Pearly

Overall, I am definitely happy with my purchases and I can't wait to get some more. I heard the Extreme lashes mascara is one of the best as well as an 'All Night' pigmented cream eyeshadow, bronzer and blushes. I will need to give it a test before purchasing it but I am sure I will not be disappointed. WOOOP! 

Have a great day/night friends,

Update ❤


Hey guys, I know I haven't been updating this blog. And it's a really bad thing, i know. Sorry about that, I have just been running errands most of the time and things weren't so easy to handle at only one particular time. However, I want to start of by saying, I miss you. I have soo much to talk about and things right now are driving me crazy. It all relates to University, temptations, foods, boyfriend and so on..

University has and have always been driving me crazy, although I am in my first year and doing an fDa course, It can get a little stressful. Especially, if you want to go into further studies like nursing. I don't know If I have mentioned this on my blog, but I got two offers for adult nursing in march which were in Salford Uni and UCLAN. I need to make a decision before June though, stated in UCAS. So I'm trembling on what choices I am going to choose to study adult nursing. They also both required me to pass my fDA course to be able to go into the program. Thus, I need to give all my best to at least pass everything. Considering, I got a distinction on my presentations and a pass on my essay; I am not entirely sure how it works. But i'm thinking I will be just fine. I just finished completing another essay about aggression, I KNOW RIGHT. And the submission of my EPD portfolio which was a bitch to do. Ridiculously, with all my stupidity of me not checking it and completing it, I left it last minute, as usual. Nothing new there. This had lead me to stay up for more than 24 hours,  which gave me a terrible headache and dizziness. On the other hand, I did feel relieved and ready now for the upcoming exam which is all about the anatomy of the body. oh how lovely.

Temptations, I do have a weak spot when it comes to foods, sweets, makeup and super cute clothes. From the last update, I do not recall giving out any hints on what I have been purchasing and whatnot, But I will ensure to post that on another post. I'm so excited to share it with you guys! I bought also a camera because I decided to start Vlogging again, it was so much fun, especially, when I get to spend more time with my boyfriend, Alistair.

Foods? OMG. How can I start with foods... Recently, I have discovered that I like or maybe love Sushi?. Specifically, the Avocado Maki from Yo Sushi! OMG. I just can't get enough of it, it was so yummy and healthy. No wonder, it was one of their best selling foods. Another is the obsession of purchasing Pistachio Macaroons from Patisserie Valeri and their ice creams. Yummy. I even started cooking my own version of filipino spaghetti and it was DELISSSSSSCiOUSSS.

During these past weeks, there was a week or two when my boyfriend was left alone at his house with their cutey puppy. His parents went on holiday therefore, left him to do some of the house work. Ha Ha, poor baby pots. I came to visit him for a few days to give him company and also because I missed his company. It was nice living with him. Nonetheless, he gave me good news that he got another job in London, which was both exciting and yet sad because I won't see him as much. But I want what's best for him, what makes him happy and what also will help him get a better job. I'm so proud of him. When was I never proud any way?. He's amazing.

Below are some pictures that I would like to share with you: 

This image is of me in Alistair's parent's toilet. It was really nice, the lighting and the theme. Greek.
                             
These photos are from when me and Alistair went to Trafford. I bought my first Jo Malone purchase of a lovely buttery body cream which smells like heaven. Avocado Maki, my fav as stated in the above statement. Also, the endless choices of flavours from Patisserie Valeri. 

                            
I have been loving Zara atm especially, there new launch of summer must-haves. Obviously, its a must to get something summery or pastel coloured clothing/accessories. I tried this Jacket and the dress, both of which were gorgeous but I just didn't know what to feel yet at the moment and so instead of getting it, i returned it. haha. I don't really want to buy a product where I have doubts about it because I just want to fall in love with it after first glance and try. 

                         
My friend from boxing loves to go Shisha, he was the reason why I started to love Shisha in Manchester. LOL. He introduced me to this place in Curry Mile, which was really spacious and beautiful inside. I will post more pictures of the place when I visit again or I'm not sure if its available online. MEEH*

                              


Contrary with the second and third picture, At the same day; I got my eye checked because ever since surgery in the Philippines. I did not get to have my eye checked here in UK. Thus, I went to get it check. Just kidding, I wanted to try and wear the FreshLook Eye contacts. Unfortunately, the optician did not recommend it, sad times. But he showed me that I can have reading glasses then proceeded on giving me a trial use of it. I fell in love and searched for a good frame. First try of these Radley babies, it was so cute. My boyfriend even loved it. 
                                   

Yellow. Yellow. I got a different purchase in Zara. It was perfect for my figure. 

                             

I will end this post with some of the snapchats I took with my phone, it will be silly of me If I did not post it in my blog. Ha Ha. 
                              
Thank you for reading this post guys, I missed you all.

Love, 
Sette xo
