Quick Review: Wet N Wild Mega Plume Mascara

 When I was still working as Customer Service Representative (Business Center CSR) in one of the biggest telecommunications company in Ph. We are required to be professionally and physically presentable. A simple make up is a must since we spend most of our time interacting with customers (especially IRATE subs! hahaha). A good friend and a colleague of mine gave this to me as her Christmas gift (DEC 2010). She knows how I love make up so much! (Thank you!) I really love this product. I did not really notice any CONS on this mascara. Until when I resigned (MARCH 2011). My family started a small business and I worked as a Tech Support (aaaw.. im an IT grad..that's why.. ).. I now work on field! A different environment! Then there, using this mascara is totally discouraging. RACCOON eyes at the end of the day!!! I look like a ZOMBIE!!!! OMG!..  From that experience, I swear I will never ever use this mascara!. This mascara only works if you are in an "air conditioned" environment.. =)) - or else it'll turn out really bad like what happened to me.. Our country's humid weather will drag the mascara down. =(

love the bristles.. It gives me the volume and length that I need... but again.. as stated above... haaaaaay... =((

Quick Review: NICHIDO True Colors Liquid Foundation with sunscreen

I love Liquid Foundations! I love how I could easily apply liquid foundations using a sponge or a brush.. Two things I want for a liquid foundation are the coverage and the staying power... Nichido, a local make up line offers good and affordable make up products... and as I checked their counter at Watsons, I found this...

 NICHIDO TRUE COLORS LIQUID FOUNDATION with sunscreen

Shade: Natural

 product info on the bottle and packaging....

 swatches...

************

What I like about this product:

*  Light Coverage (it won't really cover blemishes - concealer is needed)

* Sunscreen!

* It is water based.

* Doesn't cake (as long as you set it with powder)

* It provides natural satin finish (description is true!)

* a little amount goes a long way.. 

* The bottle packaging and the pump. Totally Hygienic!

* Affordable! It's only 268php for 30ml! Cool!

... i don't like

* the sunscreen smell! 
* Staying power is not really that good. It won't stay that long. 
*Texture is a bit sticky.

* It quickly dries up when you apply it using your hands. I recommend using a sponge when you apply this foundation.

How to: Depot Lipstick

I accidentally dropped 4 of my fave lipsticks recently while arranging my make up stuffs. Lipsticks were totally damaged! Huhuhu. Then, I found this little Pill Box/Container in my drawer. I bought it last month but never used it. Then an idea pop up. Depot my lipsticks! So I searched online for the best procedure on depotting these lippies.

Things you'll need:

 candle

clean spoon

alcohol (ethyl 70%)

pill box/container

tissue

clean toothpick

 these are the lippies...

(Left to Right) NYX Round Lipstick in FIG, HAUTE MELON, PURE RED, Styli-Style Timeless HEAVENLY, HBC Long Wearing Lipsheer in PINK POUT

 Sanitize the container, spoon and toothpick using alcohol. Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly. 

 then scrape off the lipstick using the spoon and toothpick...

 cooking time! hahahah

once the lipstick is melted, carefully pour the lipstick into the container...

 as easy as that! weeeeeh!

so here's the finish product!

Hope this helps!

Quick Review: UBU Pink Stippling Brush

 

While waiting for our flight back to Cebu from SG.

I was totally bored. So I stroll around the airport. I wanted to buy something. Definitely a remembrance of our trip to SG. Though we already bought bunch of stuffs at Chinatown. But this time, I want COSMETICS! Haha! You can't blame me ladies. It is really tempting. I am checking things that are not available in PH market.

Then this cute pink brush caught my eye! I was like... "OMG! KUYA, I MUST HAVE THIS!" (my brother was bored too so he accompanied me.. strolling... lol)

 So here it is.. I was crossing my fingers when I arrived home and tested it.

  

First wash and up until now, it bleeds --> PINK.. =(

No shedding. Not really that soft & I can feel light pricking everytime I use this. Still I'm using this when I apply liquid foundation. I cannot compare it to other stippling brush since this is the first stippling brush. Hehe!

This brush costs like SG$ 14, (462 pesos)
