| My Top 5 Picks from Dazzle Me! |
I may not be an expert with makeup, but just like you, I keep on searching and exploring products that would suit my liking and personality the most. In fact, I consider myself a late bloomer when it comes to makeup. I only started learning how to "paint" my face a year after I became a mom (nearly on my 30s) after a co-worker said I look "haggard" even though I just started my day (oh gee! haha). That side story was my wakeup call that even though I'm a mom now, I should never neglect my appearance and also my health. I should love and take care of myself more so I could spread the same to others. Remember, self-love radiates a positive aura to the people around you!
For this post, I am excited to share with you an international makeup brand that landed in our country a year ago (JUL 2022) -- DAZZLE ME. What made me interested on this brand at initial glance was the high-spirited, vibrant, and carefree vibe! It embodies how Gen-Z is redefining beauty -- which is now a more inclusive, expressive, and authentic. Even though I am not part of this generation, I still share the same values of openly accepting and going beyond the norms.

With all that was said, let me share with you my Top 5 Picks from Dazzle Me (in no particular order as they are all lovely!). These are all available at their official Shopee store -- Dazzle Me Official Shop -- at affordable prices (below Php400 each).
24/7 Wonderfullip Serum
 |
| Dazzle Me 24/7 Wonderfullip Lip Serum |
I've always had dry and chapped lips as you can see on the photo below, and so putting on a lip balm any time of the day has been a habit of mine. Usual problems with the balms I've tried in the past are [1] they're sticky, and [2] they're heavy on the lips -- like I've eaten lechon (haha!).
24/7 Wonderfullip Serum
- Price: Php149* - Buy from Shopee / Lazada *price varies
- Packaging: Small, handy, transparent cylindrical packaging, ~2g volume
- Scent: Fruity delicious!
- Applicator: Flexible flat applicator -- First time to try a product with this kind of applicator and I like! It allows easier glide with just the right amount of serum
- Thoughts About the Product:
- Light and Non-sticky - I apply it whenever I feel my lips are dry, then I can just forget that it's on my lips with how light-weight it is
- Can be used as Primer and/or Topper - I always use it before applying lipstick to moisturize and hydrate my lips. It also makes lipstick application smoother as the lines becomes less visible. I barely use it as topper but it can surely give a nice shine on your lips

Misty Matte Lip Cream
 |
| Dazzle Me Misty Matte Lip Cream |
I am so into matte lippies as I find them more natural looking. Although with some of the matte lipsticks I tried in the past, they tend to be drying making the lines on my lips more obvious. Trying on Dazzle Me Misty Matte Lip Cream, I instantly loved the colors and feel on my lips!

Misty Matte Lip Cream
- Price: Php179* - Buy from Shopee / Lazada *price varies
- Packaging: Slim, pen-like pink tube, ~2g volume -- I wish, though, that the actual color (not just the small name at the bottom) is also visible somewhere in the product so I don't have to open it one-by-one eg. when I have to check what's the best shade for my outfit
- Scent: Very light but still smells good like citrusy or fruity
- Applicator: Teardrop doe-foot applicator with hole/reservoir in the middle to hold more product in one swipe!
- Colors/Shades: Love all the shades as they are flattering and suits most, if not all, skintone
- #01 Misty (bare nude) - This is a good nude for fair skin although I find it a little bit light for me but still wearable
- #02 Encounter (salmon nude) - This is my favorite everyday nude lippy. This gives the most natural and pinkish "my lips but better" look
- #03 Heartbeat (brick red) - This is muted red orange which brightens my face
- #04 Poppy (sunkissed coral) - Probably my least favorite as it is too warm and screaming bright red
- #05 Rose Manor (muted rosewood) - The darkest shade but I love the mood that it gives
- #06 Desert Sunset (desert brown) - My other favorite everyday lippie but this is more on the brown side

- Thoughts About the Product:
- Highly Pigmented - One swipe, one layer is all I need to achieve the color
- Soft Blur Finish - I usually see this in Korean actresses where their lips look soft powdery yet supple -- this lip cream makes it possible!
- Lightweight and Non-drying - I can barely feel it on my lips and my lips stay moisturized

Glossip Girl Lip Cream
 |
| Dazzle Me Glossip Girl Lip Cream |
I'm not really a "gloss" girl but I still wanted to try this Glossip Girl Lip Cream from Dazzle Me so I got two of them. Admittedly, there are days when I wanted some shine on my lips and this is where these two will come in handy.
Glossip Girl Lip Cream
- #01 Nudeze (mocha nude)
- #02 Preppy Peach (apricot peach) - Looks very natural on my lips with a touch of gloss!
- #03 Pink Punk (raspberry pink)
- #04 Brick Baddie (burnt red) - Love the red color on my skin
- #05 Redropolitan (rouge red)
- #06 Brown 90's (mauve brown)
 |

- Thoughts About the Product:
- Hydrating and Non-sticky - I don't feel my lips are sticky or dry when using this product
- Pigmented and Buildable - Even though it is a gloss, it gives a nice touch of color and can even be built on to give a more pigmented appearance
- Leaves a Stain - It is not transfer-proof yet I love that it leaves a stain on my lips so they're still left with some tint
Heart-Melt Creamy Liquid Blush
 |
| Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Creamy Liquid Blush |
My everyday makeup isn't complete without a blush! It gives a huge difference in giving color to may face and lightening up my mood. I've tried compact, powder, stick, and liquid forms before, but this Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Creamy Liquid Blush was the first creamy type I've tried.
Heart-Melt Creamy Liquid Blush
- #01 Sweet Pink (soft pink)
- #02 Cheeky Orange (soft coral)
- #03 Flirty Peach (warm peach)
 |
| Dazzle Me Heart-Melt Creamy Liquid Blush arm swatch (actual color may vary due to lighting) |
- Thoughts About the Product:
- Blends Seamlessly - If basing alone on the arm swatch, I would not go for these shades as they look too bright, almost "neon". But, once I blend it on my skin, it is beautiful and brightens up my face (see the photo below)
- Lasts Long - I didn't have to retouch as much as it stays for hours
- Can be used as Eyeshadow too! - Earlier, I mentioned about matching may blush with lippy and eyeshadow. But with this product, I don't need a separate eyeshadow as this takes the job!

Attack On Sun! Sunscreen SPF 50 PA +++
 |
| Dazzle Me Attack On Sun! Sunscreen SPF PA +++ |
Rainy day is here but that doesn't mean we should stop using sunscreen! We're living in a tropical country where the sun always shines and so protection is a must to prevent skin damage.
Attack On Sun! Sunscreen SPF 50 PA +++
- Price: Php199* - Buy from Shopee / Lazada *price varies
- Packaging: Squeeze tube in fun and bright design, ~30g volume
- Scent: Fresh scent - There's a common scent in sunscreen that I'm not so fond of, but with this product, it is not so noticeable
- Thoughts About the Product:
- It Makes Me Want to Use a Sunscreen - What prevents me from using sunscreen daily are [1] scent, [2] stickiness, and [3] white cast. This sunscreen managed to resolve, if not lessen, all those issues I mentioned. It smells good. It still has a little stickiness but once it gets absorbed by the skin, I don't feel it anymore - lightweight. No observable white cast that's why I can use it underneath my makeup
- Protects the skin up to 12hrs - The problem with this type of sunscreen is you cannot reapply it once you have your makeup on. Good thing, it can protect for a long period that reapplication is not necessary
So there goes by TOP 5 PICKS from DAZZLE ME! Overall, all these products are good especially given the affordable price point. Watch out for sales as you can avail them for even cheaper price. With wide ranges of shades that are suitable to different skin tones, one can truly and freely express his/her unique sense of beauty.
