ORBIS had recently launch their Limited Edition Sakura-themed beauty products to celebrate the Spring Season.

As we all know, Japanese love their Sakura and Japanese ladies tend to wear minimal makeup as they like to look more natural hence this is what I’m going for in this look.

That’s the look, simple, clean and a hint of sweetness.

Look Book | Bring Me To New York

Posted on by Cassandra Tan

Styling graphic is something new for me since I don’t really wear them unlike my girl Christy who rocks graphic tee like second skin.

In this second installment of our collaboration, we are styling Graphic Tee. You can check out HERE for the first one.

Since I’m not someone who wears graphic tee all the time, I decided to pick something simple such as wordings. This way I would actually still wear it even after the shoot. #beingrealistic

Because my shirt is simple, hence I opt to play with coat and accessories. I toughen up the look by rocking my circle choker and decked in a fur vest. Keeping to the circle accessories theme, I wore a pair of black circle studs earrings.

Because the top half is so edgy, I wanted to keep the overall look a little chic so I complete it with a pair of sheer socks in kitten heels. You will definitely see me in sheer sock again!

Now that you have seen my look, it’s time to hope over to my girl Christy’s Look Book because hers scream a totally different vibe and you are gonna like it!

Reflections Organics | Eco-friendly makeup line

Posted on by Cassandra Tan

Reflections Organics, founded by Nerissa is a local homegrown brand that’s organic, eco-friendly and cruelty-free makeup line. The colour pigmentation is on point and certainly impressed me upon trying it out myself. Reflections Organics consist a diverse range of highly pigmented and long lasting makeup from Anti-aging BB cream, mineral powder, highlighters, blush and the list goes on and on.

Each product is formulated with up to 90% USDA certified organic ingredients, while providing the wholesome natural nourishment for skin.

Since our skin also absorbs any chemicals in the cosmetics, Reflections Organics aims to protects your health as well as fragile ecosystems of the Earth with detailed attention for environmentally-friendly packaging such using soy-based ink for labels or translucent boxes to reduce printing wastage and recyclable pouches for packaging.

Their products are of quality so you get what you pay for. I use to think that organic products are not as pigmented until I’ve tried out Reflections Organics makeup that really change my persective. The two products that I’ve been using are the Sheer Mineral Bronzer and Mineral Eye Shadow. Since they are both really highly pigmented, I really only need a small amount of products in each use. The texture is very smooth and glides on the skin easily. The first shade on the top is the bronzer and the shade in the bottom is the eye shadow.

Reflections Organics believe in giving back to the less-privileged families hence Reflections is a supporter to the children of needy families in Christian Life Church in Cebu, Bantayan since the brand’s inception through donating a portion of profits made into providing for their education and livelihood. In fact, Nerissa personally has 2 kids whom she has been sponsoring for 2 years now. It’s always a beautiful thing when brands remembers to give back.

Last but not least, Reflections Organics is kindly giving my readers an exclusive 10% off when you key in ROCassandra17. (Code is valid from now till March 2017)
