I really don't use eyeliners and i'm not a fan. But i bought this anyway. This eyeliner is available in 8 shades. The shade that i got is brown/brun/cafe.

It's not the usual eyeliner I think. The tip that you see is very thin and it can break easily. The eyeliner has a built in tiny sharpener at the end. But i forgot to take pictures. I just discovered it today! 

It has a creamy texture and it glides easily when you apply it. It doesn't smudge and it can be easily removed with a eye make-up remover.

And it's also waterproof! Never tried this eyeliner but i think that this lived up to it's name. I think that this will stay put for about 3-6 hours.

I rubbed it 10 times and it's still visible. 

Rubbed 15 times! AMAZING!

I would recommend this product for those who don't like to use gel liners. This is a must have!

Nail Art #2

                                                             My Nails- July 31, 2011


I used to love plain nail polish colors on my nails. But guess what? I'm starting to love nail art! This design is inspired by my love for stripes. It was my 1st time to try the color orange on my nails.

My Nails- July 24, 2011

My manucurist's name is Jacen and she is from Hulo. I get my nails done every sunday, and I'm pretty impressed with the results that i'm getting. She's shy at first, but once you get to know her, she's really kind and polite. And her hands are so light! My fingers don't bleed when she's working on my nails unlike other manicurists. She's also a fast worker. What I like about the whole thing is that I can search a specific design in the internet and then ask her if she can do it. But she's not yet a professional, that's why the designs that she can do are limited. But when I give her a design, she studies it and practices it.

Shade 05- Blushed Wines

It comes with a tiny brush. Well, if I were you, I'd buy a separate eyeshadow brush. It's so small! I really don't use eyeshadows, but for the sake of the completeness of my make-up collection, I bought this! haha

As you can see, the texture when applied, is smooth, but for me, it's quite dry and too powdery. I prefer cream shadows but the attendant suggested that this would be terrific for everyday use. I also prefer nude colors, the lighter shades are a bit to shiny for me. And the lasting power? It doesn't crease easily but it does fade easily! It's okay, but it's not great. Nothing really special about it.

The blush comes in a pot and it includes a kabuki brush.

I got the shade W05 True Peach. The other 3 shades are lighter for my skin tone.

you have to shake the container and tap the brush into the sifter to get some of the product. I really don't like packagings like this. I don't know, I just feel that it's messy. And you can't control how much product will go out of the sifter. The product has tiny shimmers in it and it is finely  milled.

I have to reapply the blush 3 times before I got that result, and it's still not visible. Maybe the shade's too light for my skintone? I don't think so. It also fades away easily. I used this once, and I have to retouch my face with this blush 4 times. And also, the kabuki brush that goes with it is very scratchy. I don't like its texture.

Well, I won't use or buy this product anymore, and according to some blogs, this product contains TALC and it can be harmful. I really don't get it. It's supposed to be a "MINERAL" make-up right?

Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation

I was actually looking for a pancake foundation because owell ( a make-up artist) used that on me when we had a pictorial for binibining obando. But the attendant said that its out of stock, and they do not carry that specific product anymore. However, they recommended me their new foundation. 

The foundation comes in a tub like package with a see through lid. When I first tried it, I had a hard time opening it. You have to twist it in order to open it.

      The texture is creamy and blendable. It's very easy to apply. It also gives an amazing finish! And what I    super love about this foundation is that when you put it on, it looks very natural. It looks like you didn't put  any foundation at all!

It has a separate compartment for the sponge. Isn't it great? Good idea huh? 

I think there are 7 shades available, and the shade that I got is Bronze 80. This shade suits medium skintones. Although it comes with a sponge applicator, you can still use a foundation brush or your fingers, so that you can blend the foundation on certain areas that needs more coverage.

It dries on a gorgeous finish on my skin. You only need a tiny amount of powder to set this. I really love the finish that it achieves. It lasts for about 6 hours. But I think that this foundation is for people who have normal/combination skin. If you have oily skin, don't apply too much or the foundation will look cakey on you, especially when you apply a lot of powder. I would recommend this foundation. But the only downside is that it has this weird smell, but it disappears when you apply it, and you'll get used to it eventually.
