Gift Unboxing

Hi Chingus!

Let me share to you the gifts that I received from my birthday. 

Yep! My birthday was last July but I just opened my gifts today ヾ(｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ﾉﾞ

If you are expecting loads of gifts you've come to the wrong post, I have only few super friends
ლ(⌒▽⌒ლ)

 To start off, one of my bff Rin knew that I have been loving NYX cosmetics specially their eyeshadow palette. She went to NYX store at SM Megamall and bought the Natural Eyeshadow palette, of course one of my close friend Rhyan also contributed on this (๑•͈ᴗ•͈)

I also have NYX Love in Paris (Merci Beaucoup) eyeshadow palette. Hopefully, I'd be able to make an FOTD or MOTD post for both palette. Take a closer look~

 

And below are the swatches ~ 

I'm soooo excited to use this..o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

The next gift that I received is from Mimay-san. 

 

It's been a long time since I used a Snoe product so I am glad I was given this. I bet this will be useful because as an everyday commuter office girl, it is a must to have sun block protection.

And finally, the gift that I bought for myself from Elite Contact Lens (⌒.−)＝★

I think I have 2 lens that needs to be replaced as they are already a year old. In total I have 9 pairs of lens. And no I'm not hoarding （⌒▽⌒）

It has become part of my daily look to wear a lens. It does so much on changing how I look and it gives this some sort of aura on my face that I can't explain.

 

I bought these 3 pairs for only 1 thousand pesos...so budget friendly eh?

Cherry Blossoms Chocolate

 Tinkerbel Pure Hazel

Mochiko Doll Green

Well, there you go! See you again on my next post..Byeeee~ (*＾▽＾)／

Come back post and July Collectives

Hi Chingus! 

It's been a long time seen I tried to write on this blog. 

I know...I kept on promising that I will write regularly but my normal life had become so demanding and busy. In any case, I'll just make sure to write whenever I find time. 

To start off...this month is my birthday month! Woohoo!! Sorry if you are expecting a giveaway but I think I'll do that soon (⌒.−)＝★ For the mean time, I'll be sharing my haul for the month of July. 

 This cotton puff is actually buy 1 take 1 from Daiso Japan for only 88 pesos. I use this regularly for removing my make up. I find it easier to remove make up using cotton puff instead of cotton ball. Well I don't know anybody who uses cotton ball for make up removal (－‸ლ) 

Another purchase that I made from Daiso Japan is this brown eyebrow pencil. I was actually looking for a refill for my Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil but it is always out of stock. 

I usually use this to line my eyebrows before I fill it in with brow powder. I must say its a good find and most probably I'll be repurchasing this.

Majolica Mojorca put up a promo on their famous Lash King mascara for only 499 pesos. Though I have been using another mascara for quite sometime now I decided to but it only to find out that they will be releasing an "improved" version of Lash King ლ(ٱ٥ٱლ)

 I remembered from my old posts that I love Carmex the most as my lip balm but I had a change of heart. I think this Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm is around 99 pesos and it does a pretty decent job on moisturizing my lips. 

The only reason that I purchased this Maybelline Color Ink in Be-1 is because I am curious on how to use cream eyeshadow. This is worth 350-370 pesos I believe and I've read on some blogs that this can be used as an eyeshadow base. 

It's like a mettalic beige color.

Sorry if the swatch is not that clear. 

And lastly, my favorite Bifesta Makeup Remover. This bad ass makeup remover is worth 419 pesos. I also remembered my self raving Etude House makeup remover before but when I found this water based cleansing lotion, suddenly using oil based makeup remover was just such a pain.

Well, there you go! See you again on my next post..Byeeee~ (*＾▽＾)／

Review: Beauty UK ~ In The Buff

Hi Chingus! 

I'm still such a busy bee but I am making sure that I won't be leaving this space empty for a long time. Just like regular bloggers I have tons of pending post that I can't seem to update all at once. As mentioned before, I think lipsticks are getting onto my head so much. My recent obsession are Beauty UK's lippies. Immediately after playing around with their Hollywood Glam set, I decided to use one of the cream to matte finish lipstick 'In the Buff'. Same as before this was purchased at MakeupHOLICS and if I'm not mistaken this was around 450 pesos.

I fell in love with its rosy pink shade. I was also surprised by its minty scent, it's like putting candy on my lips. It's cream property makes it easy to glide on the lips and since its kinda matte it makes the shade last long on the lips. 

Sorry for the messy swatch, I got over excited on using the lipstick  LOL!

And the actual swatch on my lips. Since I am super busy I've only managed to do this decent picture after work today. I'd like to purchase other shades but I still have a handful of lippies that I need to use.

What I like about it...  

♡ Sleek packaging 

♡ Affordable 

♡ Good pigmentation and color is very opaque

♡ Moisturized feeling upon application 

♡ The shade does not fade easily

♡ Minty smell 

What I don't like about it...       

Since it has the property of a cream lipstick, I need to set it for about 2-3 minutes before a start talking or moving my lips so much. The color of the lipstick tends to go to my teeth. 

Will I try it again...?       

Yes, just give some time to consume my other lippies.  

Beauty UK Hollywood Glam Swatch

Hi Chingus!

As you can see, I'm trying to diligently write on my blog again. This post has been a backlog as this is featuring the beauty uk lipstick that I bought from MakeupHOLICS stall at Cinderella Megamall last March. Dang! I just remembered spending more than 1000 pesos for lippies XD

Ok..so our first stop would be beauty uk's hollywood glam statement lip set which was worth 550 pesos. It was such a super saver because you'll be getting 3 pieces of lipstick with different shades.

And here comes the actual tubes, their packaging reminds of NYX matte lipstick. I've search Beauty UK's website and other blogs but unfortunately the shades of this lipstick set is not individually named.

This shade reminds of of Nicki Minaj's Super Bass song (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

 I find this nude shade very sexy ;D

And the final tube looks like a rose red to me..urgh! sorry if I'm bad when it comes to descriptions.

The swatches looks very creamy

I was trying hard to make actual lip swatches but I can't seem to get it right. I just decided to make crazy selca pictures wearing beauty uk's lipstick. I did this after work so I should apologize if you can see too many skin imperfections.

 I look a messy Nicki Minaj on this picture..the transformation just took seconds haha! I think I'll be using this shade on a future cosplay event.

I'm was so excited to have this nude shade, I just have to figure out when is the perfect event to wear this.

Duck face!!!! LOL! I look funny despite the fact that this shade is the most wearable of all. I hope you like this post. How about you, what's your favorite beauty uk product?

My Tony Moly Haul

Hi Chingus!

At last! After more than a year my BB cream had finally come to its final drop. Though I wasn't really sure on which store I should buy my next BB cream, I just followed my instinct and went to Tony Moly's store at SM Megamall. I didn't have enough time to research which BB cream I should try but I just decided to take advise from a sale associate. Hopefully I would be able to post a full review on my new BB cream soooon!

In addition to my impulsive haul, I also decided to purchased the most talked about Pure Aura CC cream. And was also given 2 amazing giveaway which is Natura-Energy Mask Sheet and lip tint yay! Oh..I soo love shopping LOL! How about you, what's your latest cosmetic haul?

Review: E.L.F Eyelid Primer

Hi Chingus! 

How's your week doing? 

I've been caught up with many things at work but at least I can breakthrough all of that when I'm this space :D Although work is fully loaded, my interest on cosmetics and make-up application is still all time high.Though its not really required to look super good in my profession, I still believe that if I look pleasant it adds up on looking more professional.
They say that one way to attract attention is to have beautiful eyes. Having an eye make-up definitely brightens up the face. To keep my eyeshadow intact, I rely on eye primer. I may have a dry skin on my face but my eyelids are extremely oily.

I've been using this e.l.f. eyelid primer for quite sometime now. Other bloggers often compares this to expensive eye primer. Here in the Philippines there is only one shade available for e.l.f. eyelid primer which is Sheer.

If you also noticed, their package is simple and instruction on how to use the product is pretty much straightforward.

Using this doe foot wand, I find it easy to blend the primer all over my eyelids.

The actual primer is shimmery so you would need to blend it out evenly on your eyelid.

Please excuse the bushy eyebrows hehe! This picture was taken at my workplace so the lighting was quite good. I was using Avon's True Color Eyeshadow (Earth Tone) on this picture.

Here's another shot where I used frosted brown colored eyeshadow.

Please no harsh comments on the eyebrows hehe!....And this was taken when I got home from work. You can noticed that the color of the eyeshadow had faded already and it is starting to crease. And to sum it all up.....

What I like about it...

• Easy to blend and dries up quickly 
• Travel size packaging 
• Brighten up eyeshadow 
• Can somehow withstand my oily eyelids 

What I don't like about it...  

• Limited availability on your local department store
• Staying power is above average 
• Makes my eye make-up crease by the end of the day 

Will I try it again...?    

Yes. You can never judge a product by its price. You can't expect much on affordable cosmetics but e.l.f.'s eyelid primer was able to deliver good results. I have already considered this as a good find product.
