This was just something I bought on a whim in November last year, while browsing through Etude House SM Megamall. It was around P350.00. It smells like peach mixed with flowers. It's not a bad kind of floral scent though, and that's saying a lot coming from me, because I don't like overly floral scents very much. The fruity acidity of the peach cuts through the delicately sweet flowers quite nicely. It's a very refreshing, summery smell.<br />

This product is meant for use <i>all over</i>, literally. The wide range spray helps a lot with that! I use it most often on my clothes and on my bedsheets as an invigorating pick-me-up. 2-3 sprays are enough on my clothes, while I prefer using 4-5 sprays on my sheets. The scent lasts for about half a day.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05711120052929097031noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842072762387459551.post-74464446201943020252014-05-08T16:16:00.001+08:002014-05-09T11:39:44.039+08:00Nyx Round Lipstick: Snow WhiteWear red lipstick and no one will care what else you're wearing. <a href="http://asongoficeandattire.tumblr.com/post/56276952051" target="_blank">Even Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) agrees with this.</a><br />

Packaging is Spartan: black plastic tube with printed text in white, color "window" at the bottom for faster identification. If you store your lipsticks in a drawer, it's better to store them with the window right side up for easier visibility. The packaging, combined with the very reasonable price, makes lipsticks from this brand ideal on-the-go <i>kikay kit </i>candidates.<br />

The color is an elegant deep red. I think all deep lip colors, <a href="http://closetmakeupgeek.blogspot.com/2014/05/maybelline-colorsensational-lip-polish.html" target="_blank">like the beautiful Maybelline plum I reviewed last time</a>, are great for lazy makeup and/or clothing days. You could just be wearing a simple shirt and jeans (or yesterday's clothes, like Maisie LOL), but wearing a deep color gives you a touch of class without a lot of effort. Granted, deep colors aren't summer colors at all, but that hasn't stopped me from wearing them even as the country sizzles at present.<br />

Although the formula is creamy and intense, I find it rather drying on my lips. Thus, I wear it over lip balm and it ends up being glossy. Either because of the balm or because of my natural lip color, Snow White ends up a little lighter on my lips as compared to the earlier hand swatch. It's still a very workable red though. (Just take care not to wear too much makeup alongside it! Bold colors like this really work best with little else on the face!)<br />

I liked it so much that I wanted a plum colored lip product of my own. To this day, I don't know what it was because we weren't close (it wasn't a block section) and she went on a leave of absence. I now suspect it was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Etude-House-Rosy-After-Blossom/dp/B00EUVQC0M" target="_blank">this color from Etude House</a>, but that doesn't matter anymore since I'm very pleased with this plum shade from Maybelline.<br />

I do want to talk about the functionality of the design, however. Since the Lip Polish looks like an "upside down" lipstick tube, one is inclined to display it "right side up" on one's dresser, as in the first photo of this post. Because of this, the applicator is not oversaturated with the product.<br />
<br />

I think that preventing oversaturation is a good thing, since the applicator is extremely soft and absorbent. I have no way of knowing whether the applicator is truly made of angora wool, but I do know that it serves its purpose very well. The angled tip helps a lot too, especially around the lip corners.<br />

On my lips, Glam 6 appears ever so slightly redder. The beautiful plumness of the color is still there though, so I'm certainly not complaining. I love how it contrasts with my skin - very "glam" indeed!<br />

The formula does indeed capture the essence of a lipstick, a gloss, and a balm. It has the intensity and lasting power of the first, the shine of the second, and the emolliency of the third. Based on the lip products I own, it's not as sticky as a coating of <a href="http://closetmakeupgeek.blogspot.com/2009/09/elf-super-glossy-lip-shine-spf-15-in.html" target="_blank">e.l.f. lip shine</a> or as heavy as a layer of <a href="http://closetmakeupgeek.blogspot.com/2010/10/carmex-lip-balms.html" target="_blank">Carmex balm</a>. The color payoff is just as intense as <a href="http://closetmakeupgeek.blogspot.com/2011/05/face-shop-face-it-extreme-rouge-gloss.html" target="_blank">The Face Shop's Rouge Extreme glosses</a>. However, the formula feels hot over a prolonged period<i>. </i>This can get uncomfortable really fast, if you intend to wear this on a sweltering day outdoors.<br />

Speaking of lasting power, the product can withstand being held under running water and rubbed vigorously <i>without</i> soap. It leaves a hot pink tint - another plus to its low maintenance nature. Once the product has worn down to the tint on your lips, you can either
reapply if you feel like it, or leave your lips as is and still look
like you're wearing lip makeup. Easy peasy.<br />
<br />
You can also see the slight gloss it leaves behind in the picture above. This proves that it does have the moisturizing properties of lip balm, because lip balm behaves in a similar way once rubbed off.<br />

Would I buy this again? Yes. Maybelline's Lip Polishes are the skinny jeans of 3 in 1 lip products. They're versatile and not fussy, but they can get uncomfortable to wear in the heat. Despite that, it's still sensible to own several pairs of jeans. I dare say that it's also sensible to own several Lip Polishes. (I'm thinking of a pink and/or a coral for next time!)Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05711120052929097031noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842072762387459551.post-44045097025000680452014-05-04T10:00:00.000+08:002014-05-04T10:00:00.890+08:00A Quick Post about a Quick Eye LookI did my eyes in a basic gold-and-brown scheme one weekend.

Mini review of the PAC palette: It is called Rainbow Chic. My mother purchased it at Watsons SM Megamall but gave it to me because the colors were too bright and the saleslady was rather persuasive. All four colors are extremely pigmented and buttery - they are comparable to Majolica Majorca's eyeshadows. Unfortunately, the turquoise shade tends to have the most fallout. I always end up using a lot of wet wipes whenever I use it! The color is too pretty to give up on though, at least until I find a similar shade that has a less fallout-prone formula.<br />

I like to think that I've improved since 2011, to the point that I no longer focus on lipwear in my daily makeup routine. Nowadays, after base makeup, I just tend to do my eyes and leave my lips with only a layer of lip balm. Sometimes I even leave them bare. I've found that eye makeup is much easier to maintain throughout the day compared to my old favorites, lip and cheek makeup, because the eye area is a part of the face that isn't bothered so much with eating, drinking, sweating, or accidental rubbing. (I did keep accidentally touching my eyes as I was learning though, but now that it's 2014, I've taught myself not to.)<br />

These shadows are creamy and well-pigmented. They last for a whole day in an airconditioned environment, even without an eyeshadow base. They do have a bit of fallout upon application however, but that's the only complaint I have about them. The ice-encrusted, Queen Elsa finish is exactly what I was going for when I thought of purchasing these colors.

Icy blue may not be the conventional shadow choice for everyday wear, but I find that pairing it with brown eyeliner and a modest coating of mascara turns it into a unique yet work-safe look. (In fact, I have been wearing this to work for the entire month of April.)<br />
<br />
Would I buy this again? No. While the pans are tiny, a little goes a long way when using them. Also, none of the other colors available at Beauty Bar catch my interest. Perhaps when I feel like wearing another color combination that I don't already have, I'll give Artdeco another visit.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05711120052929097031noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842072762387459551.post-16907043055897949512014-04-25T12:00:00.000+08:002014-04-25T12:00:02.648+08:00Fairydrops Candy Bar BB Cream: Light Ochre<br />

A classmate replied to my tweet, recommending Fairydrops. I had heard of their mascara before, but I didn't know that they also had BB Cream. Several Google searches later, I found myself intrigued: "No SPF", "good coverage", "long lasting." I went to <a href="http://shop.beautybar.com.ph/" target="_blank">Beauty Bar</a> soon after and ignored my wallet's weeping.<br />
<br />
Fair warning, long, photo heavy review.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Yes, the price is pretty much the only thing wrong with this product. All the claims are true. I dare say that all the glowing reviews are true too.<br />

Even the dirt-prone packaging can be forgiven. I find the gems-and-pearls drawing around the glossy pull-off cap cute, but like the many other reviewers before me, I think the matte body is a poor design choice. It feels nice to hold, certainly, although compared to the fantastic easy-to-wipe plastics-and-metallics they've come up with for <a href="http://www.fairydrops.com/modules/products/002.html" target="_blank">both</a> <a href="http://www.fairydrops.com/modules/products/004.html" target="_blank">their</a> mascara variants, you're left wondering why they kept the BB Cream so plain (and smudge-attracting).<br />

I chose to remove the sponge from the product and use separate makeup sponges instead. (I am not a "finger applicator" when it comes to BB Cream. I feel like I get uneven coverage when I just use my fingers.) On one hand, the included sponge is of a good density - perfect for spreading the product around evenly. On the other, having the sponge attached to the body at all times seems wasteful, because gravity will make the sponge constantly soak up precious product, which you definitely don't want because the BB Cream is pretty small for its price.<br />

You do have to congratulate Store Specialists Inc. for only adding a PHP350.00 (USD7.00) markup, though. (Remember Skin Food and its nearly triplicate price increase?) The product retails in Japan for JPY2730.00, which is roughly PHP1200.00 (USD27.00). Not bad for a product that delivers. Quality over quantity indeed, Japan.<br />

The product is slightly runnier than what I'm used to with Korean BB Creams. However, a runnier product does mean that it blends and absorbs more easily into the face. No dewy finish here, just a velvety matte. It also smells a little like chlorine, but once it's applied, the smell disappears.<br />
<br />
As usual and as unfortunately, there are only two shades. Between Ochre and Light Ochre, my skintone is a match for the latter. Ochre was very close too, but then Light Ochre looked more seamless.<br />

Coverage and lasting power are great. My pores are hidden, and any pimple marks are amply (though not completely) blurred.

Note how my face is only discolored by the flashbulb's light bouncing

<br />
(As a side note, this product has not caused me any breakouts. Any zits
that I've acquired since using this BB cream are largely due to
sleepless nights <strike>and/or that time of the month.)</strike> <br />

<br />
Would I buy this again? Maybe, if it lasts me more than 6 months and if I have extra money at that time. This is why I marked my date of purchase on the cap. The product's price is really meant for regularly employed people, not struggling law student part-time interns. However, if one breaks down the price AND assuming it lasts for 6 months, the expense seems justified, even for someone without a real salary. With daily use, the total cost of PHP1550.00 (USD35.00) would mean PHP258.00's (USD6.00) worth of product used per month, and PHP9.00's (USD0.20!) worth per day. It's reasonable enough, in my opinion, considering PHP9.00 is roughly the same amount as a jeepney ride.<br />

Last January, I felt the urge to rewatch the only K-drama I've ever watched: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecutor_Princess" target="_blank">Prosecutor Princess</a>.
While watching, the idea to make the experience "more sparklingly Korean" hit me. Thus, after classes, I went to the nearest
mall to get a Korean skincare product. I came home with this.</div>

Using this face mask became my "destressing ritual" throughout last semester. Twice a week, I would paint this on my face and watch Prosecutor Princess. I felt happier (and even a little bit sparklier like protagonist Ma Hye Ri) every time.</div>

The mask is lightly scented of blueberries and comes in a generous amount, especially considering its very pocket friendly price. This has lasted me for 4 months, and I have reached the bottom 1/3 of the tub. Products like these, while unopened, have a shelf life of one year. Once opened, they have a shelf life of 6 months. Since I've only got a third to go, I can reasonably say that I can finish the entire tub within 2 months.<br />

The product is decadently thick and slightly springy. It feels cool and soothing on the face - perfect for melting the day's stress away (perhaps while watching a sugarcoated happy K-drama). It claims to brighten and soften the skin through the power of blueberries. I find this true, but only if you leave it on for more than 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
I usually leave the mask on for an hour - the approximate running time of one Prosecutor Princess episode - and when I wash it off, my face feels extremely soft and looks absolutely radiant. I've also tried leaving it on for the prescribed 20 minutes, but the results aren't as glamorous. You still get soft skin, but it won't be as radiant as compared to leaving it on for an hour.<br />
<br />
<i>(Note that leaving a mask on for more than the prescribed time may not be recommended. Your skin may react aversely to the prolonged exposure. My skin was compatible enough with the product so that I experienced no bad effects from leaving it on for 40 minutes longer Determine your skin's compatibility before trying this yourself!)</i><br />
<br />
Would I buy this again? No, not at this time. It's a great little product, but there are still so many variants to try, and so many shows to watch them with.<br />

Acerola is a relative of the cherry. It is reputedly one of the fruits with the highest Vitamin C content.<br />
<br />
This facial foam smells like candied sour cherries. Since I have never seen or tasted an acerola before, I imagine this is what the fruit smells like. Strangely, it reminds me of Strawberry Fruitella. Some people may not like the scent because it's rather strong, but I like it. Because of its sour candy scent, it helps wake me up in the mornings.<br />

<br />
I'm not a chemist, and I don't really know much about the sodium laureth sulfate debacle, but perhaps the lack of bubbles is a good thing because it means there are no extenders in the product. As a casual jealous sister though, I like its lathered-up texture.<br />
<br />
<br />
True to the product's claims at the store display, it is indeed "healthy and invigorating." After washing my face with this foam, my skin feels refreshed and tightened. It also does a good job of removing makeup. I've also found that if I wash my face twice in a row using this product, I get glowing skin.<br />
<br />
Would I buy this again? Definitely. I'd like to try the Lemon Brightening variant as well, even though it doesn't smell as pleasant to me.

I've been told (and I've also read) that Eskinol products can sometimes be too harsh and drying to one's face, but after around two weeks use, my face is still its normal self, only less oilier and pimplier. I can stay up as long as I want to study cases now! (Is that really something to be happy about? XD)<br />

</tbody></table><b>Formulation: </b>Lash Stiletto is your basic black mascara. It is meant to lengthen one's lashes, much like stiletto heels lengthen one's legs. I would rather prefer mascara that volumizes my lashes, but what I really like about this mascara is that it doesn't feel heavy. It also stays put the entire day, but is easily removable at home in the bathroom/in front of the dresser. I don't even need fancy mascara removers for this - baby oil works fine.<br />
<br />
<b>In Action:</b> Here we have my bare lashes. I like to think they're long enough, hence my preference for volumizing mascaras over lengthening mascaras.<br />

<b>7 Random Things about Me</b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">1. I know how to change flat tires and jumpstart half-dead car batteries. I'm not ashamed to admit these things happened to me often when I first started driving. Learn from your mistakes!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">2. I prefer skirts over pants because I feel I can move more freely. Worried about flashing panties? Simple - wear shorts underneath!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">3. I like tofu. Recently I've been bringing an experimental tofu recipe to school: grilled tofu marinated in soy and yakiniku sauce. I think it tastes good even at room temperature! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">4. Aside from the horror shooter (Silent Hill!!), my favorite part of the arcade is the photobooth. My goal is to fill the back of my planner with photobooth pictures of my friends and family.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">5. When I ride the MRT, I prefer giving up my seat to <i>lolos</i> and not to <i>lolas</i>. For some reason I feel like <i>lolas </i>passive-aggressively obligate me to give them my seat, so I get irritated. (I'm sorry grandmothers! X_X)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">6. I have been relearning to write in script, just because. XD</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">7. My favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast.</span><br />
<br />

I like to think I've improved since then, and that quality beginner-friendly products like Majolica Majorca's Caramelisee quad are helping me improve even further.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><b>Price:</b> P795.00<br />
<b>Location Bought:</b> Watsons SM Megamall<br />
<b>Date Bought: </b>May 5, 2011<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi99zDWJ-dF3u0AgUuGGxly56nffVRxH2cTfu1ez0AddZ9uK86VaL8eRdIByIBNNvPS9bpdrelxNnXPDu5GP_ITg0TDZqv7IJ1900ENRfH0jnh9ZugRV_J4_sFW-GY6Of3YgR0zz8UjdY8/s1600/DSCN7457.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi99zDWJ-dF3u0AgUuGGxly56nffVRxH2cTfu1ez0AddZ9uK86VaL8eRdIByIBNNvPS9bpdrelxNnXPDu5GP_ITg0TDZqv7IJ1900ENRfH0jnh9ZugRV_J4_sFW-GY6Of3YgR0zz8UjdY8/s320/DSCN7457.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<a name='more'></a><b>Packaging:</b> The print on the clear lid makes it look as if Caramelisee were iced with whipped cream. ♥ The scalloped edges look like a string of pearls bordering the entire quad. Overall, the effect is rather cake-like. (I'm not sure if a cake studded with pearls and jewels will taste very good, but whatever. :P)<br />
<br />
Functionally speaking, the plastic used is very sturdy, and the scalloped edges serve as sufficient grip stabilizers. The applicator is made of a very dense sponge and works almost as well as a brush. Finally, the clasp holding the quad closed is secure yet easy to open.<br />
<br />
<b>Color: </b>Caramelisee is a bronzy-gold quad great for daytime. The colors of this quad can be used however you wish, but since I'm still not very good at eye makeup, I stuck with the instructions that came with the package. :D<br />

All of them are creamy and blendable, almost like butter. (Or cake icing, since that's what the packaging seems to go for!) While I was expecting lots of fallout because Caramelisee is a shimmery quad, there wasn't very much of it.<br />

I am super inexperienced when it comes to falsies, but these lashes weren't any trouble for me at all. As long as you have time to spare before school or work, I honestly think that these are easy and comfortable enough to put on every day. Thank you again for generously sending me these, Maggie!<br />

<b>Price:</b> $6.09 (or around PHP262.00) for a pack of 10. That's around 61 cents (or PHP26.20) for each pair.<br />

<b>Packaging: </b>These were shipped to me in a brown paper envelope. The falsies box itself was wrapped securely in bubble wrap. Inside, the falsies are arranged like the picture below, and are not difficult to take out of the box.<br />

My only contention is that it took roughly 2-3 months for these to arrive, but that's my city post office's fault. I didn't want to believe it initially, but now I'm convinced it has a bad reputation. My mother and her friend ordered dresses online last year, and those also took a long time to arrive, like three to four months, whereas her friend who lived in another city (Makati), got hers in one month. Super weird. :| Moral of the story is, don't have these - or anything else, for that matter - shipped to Pasig City! (I hear San Juan post office is good, and they have post boxes available for rent to non-residents. Next time I order online, that's what I'm going to do.)<br />

I used this PHP85.00 eyelash glue from Saizen (Daiso) to apply the falsies. I chose it for the applicator, since I have difficulty with eyelash glue in tubes. It doesn't smell like anything, and does not sting at all.<br />

</div>For comparison, here is my bare (boring) eye:<br />

And here it is again with the lashes! Look at the difference they make! They felt very light on my eyes, unlike some other lashes that I've used. I had to trim them a little bit to fit my eye shape, but that did not ruin them in any way.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span">I played around a little and put on some of Majomajo's GR162</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> eyeshadow and one of the shades from their Caramelisee quad. I noticed some of the eyeshadow had gotten into the lashes,</span><br />

so I quickly fixed that with a coat of Maybelline's Lash Stiletto mascara.<br />
