Quick Review: Ever Bilena Mousse Eyeshadow [Opal, Rose Quartz and Amber]

Ever Bilena, a local brand that carries quality and affordable cosmetics. As in, its really affordable and pocket-friendly! Hehe. Like this Mousse Eyeshadow,  I bought this for 75pesos only! Amazing right?

 the shades I currently own are: OPAL, ROSE QUARTZ AND AMBER

a closer look...

OPAL, silver

 

 ROSE QUARTZ, light pink

 AMBER, copper/bronze 

SWATCHES:

I just looooove using them. I use them as an eyeshadow alone and perfect as an eyeshadow base.  The shades I own are very pigmented. Perfect for those who are still learning makeup. It lasts long on my lid. Though Rose Quartz' consistency is quite dry, but the trick there is to warm up the product using your fingertips. Opal and Rose Quartz are also perfect for highlighting. 

MY RATING

 

Like Mother, Like Daughter

just a random talk.. =))

It was my Mom who introduced me to the makeup wonderland. I didn't really liked it at first. I only wear makeup on special occasions and I only use lip balm or lip gloss and a pressed powder way back college days. My mom was my Makeup Artist all throughout my elementary and high school days. She loves Makeup and I am her canvas! Haha! I love dancing and I got this talent from my mom too, who was a good dancer way back her high school days. Yay!

 

 

now, can you see the RED LIPSTICK trademark? Haha! Coz my Mom loves RED Lipstick!

and YES, I'M A CERTIFIED MAKEUP JUNKIE! 

oh well.. I Really Am My Mom's Daughter.. =))

ooooh! I actually won these babies from Makeup Hub by Naturele Colezzione, the 2nd Anniversary Giveaway!

 So excited to try these babies... soon!

SWATCHES 

(no primer)

 

Sleek Makeup is a UK brand. Good thing someone brought it here in PH thru Multiply. High quality eyeshadow palette at a very affordable price. Eyeshadows are very pigmented and long lasting (swatched the eyeshadows above without using a primer). This palette is perfect for smokey eye effect. Perfect for "Good Girl Gone Bad" type of look. (Rihanna? haha). Also perfect for night outs or pageants. 

Price: 650php

I bought this at Make up hub by Naturele Collezione. But I believe they no longer carry these palettes. But they currently sell awesome cosmetics, check them out!

GIFTS from Norway & Recent Haul

My Aunt Connie from Norway arrived for a vacation. My eyes widened when she handed me her pasalubong! I did not expect this!  It is soooo pretty and I really really really LOVE it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH AUNTIE CONNIE! 

 pretty eyelashes and french look nails...

 

 each pair of eyelashes comes with an eyelash glue.. 

now it reminds me of my BF Rolly. He would rather give me cosmetics than flowers. He knows me well. Haha. Anyway. I am just too thankful for all these wonderful stuffs from Norway. No words could ever describe how happy I am. 

I've been buying stuffs but I rarely blog about them. Now I am taking this opportunity to share to you what I recently got.

Got really confused. I asked for an EYEBROW KIT and the IN2IT Sales Lady gave me this. I was in a hurry that time that I did not bother to check the label. When I got home, I was like "WTH!!" They gave me just an eyeshadow set. I checked other blogs and the packaging is really different from what I got.  Alright fine! I don't really want to waste my money so I tested on my eyebrow. But I'm quite impressed. This is good.. and I am currently lovin it!..**tee hee hee hee..**
