REVIEW: L.A. Girl Gel Liner

Hello hello hello! Three reviews in three consecutive days? Wow, this girl is on Fa-yah! Okay, let's do this. Today, I get a little overboard editing some of my photos through editing app called Decopic. Ang cute cute! Been wanting to put stamps on my photos, and I tried some apps but I can't seem to find the kawaii app that suits all my needs. Finally now I have Decopic. Ain't she lovely? I spent like hours tweaking my photos... Anyways--- (Sorry I forgot this is about an eyeliner, not an app. hihihi) Howell, been using this gel liner for two weeks now and I thought I might do a review on this one because (surprise surprise) I love it! I really haven't heard anything about this gel liner as compared to some popular drugstore gel liners such as  from Wet n Wild and Maybelline so I don't have much expectation about this product. But then, as I use every single day, I am actually enjoying it. Mine is in brown shade. Well, I do prefer brown ...

REVIEW: Rimmel Exaggerate Full Color Eye Definer

The only reason why I want to review this one is because Rimmel sounds like Rommel, which happens to be my boyfriend's name, Hahah.. Okay, I am kidding. There's a lot of reason why I want to review this one. First, this eyeliner doesn't smudge on me. I was gifted with hooded eyelids so wrong eyeliner gives me panda eyes. This one amazingly sits on my lids without transferring to the other side of the page. Next, I love using this as a base under dark eyeshadows because this is creamy and blendable. This is perfect for doing smokey eye make-up. Third, this is a retractable eyeliner so no need to sharpen. Fourth. If you need to sharpen the tip of this eyeliner, the bottom part has a detachable sharpener. One to two turns and your eyeliner is good to go. Fifth, I hit pan tube (is that how you call it?). I love this product. Enough said. Sixth, and still the reason why I love this one is because Rommel Rimmel sounds so cute. Really.

REVIEW: ZA 12-in-1 Total Hydration BB Cream UV White

Hello, Marvellous!!! I am in the mood to give you all a review about my first ever BB cream- that is, ZA 12-in-1 Total Hydration BB Cream UV White . I feel weird saying that I am a shy virgin when it comes to BB cream because this product has been the "holy grail" of smooth, clean, korean-ish look. Am I the only one who just recently stepped into BB craze? If you have been reading this blog, you may know that this BB cream is one of the four products I received from a blog giveaway. Before this, I am already planning to buy BB cream from other brand (Missha BB cream in particular) but fate led me to this one. It has been years since BB creams penetrate worldwide beauty arena and a lot has been said about this wonder product. If I am not mistaken, almost all beauty brands have their own BB creams and most beauty junkies had tried multiple brands of BB creams already. With ZA BB cream, I now understand the rave. I got this one from a beauty blog giveaway and I am ju...

Inspired by Mona Lisa Smile: Christian Dior Rouge Dolce Vita 014

Once a gay friend told me, "Red lipstick is so back then." I immediately replied back and told him a true lady would say otherwise. For a real woman, red lipstick is a timeless weapon to look and feel beautiful. My first lipstick is a red one and up until now, even if I have other shades of lipsticks, red will always be on my stash. So, today, I thought of highlighting the most precious red lipstick I own, my precious baby,  Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014. Timeless as it is, the inspiration for today's lipstick is the movie The Mona Lisa Smile which is set in 1950's. Just like the girls in the movie,  Christian Dior’s Rouge Dolce Vita in #014 is not in-your-face retro red lipstick because it has a slight hint of orange. Source "That's a snapshot"- Mona Lisa Smile It has a semi-matte finish but very creamy, it glides smoothly on the lips when applied. This is not for the faint heart because it is too striking and...

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through-  so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

Inspired by Legally Blonde: Pink and Marvellous

Since this blog is unexpectedly becoming a nail fetish den, I would like to give you yet another nail design inspired by a movie. Just on my previous post, I was talking about Miss Elle Woods and her affirmation that a manicure makes a girl feel better no matter what (although technically, it was her friends who told her that). It was a funny affirmation but there is truth to it. So, today, I thought of dedicating this pink nail design to Miss Elle Woods, our Legally Blonde. . I was a young high school girl when I first saw the movie Legally Blonde and it is one of my favorite movies back then. I also made a high school movie review for our English subject. That's how I love this movie. Miss Elle Woods is definitely a pink girl, thus the pink nails. I add some pink animal print to the design because she is a certified pet lover to her lovely dog, Bruiser Woods, and she really loves to accent her strike on pink environment with a pink animal print. She also doesn'...

EOS Lip Balm, Overrated?

I was looking at old photos in my computer and I saw these cute pictures of EOS Lipbalm and I remembered how much I love this product but I shelved it for various reasons. EOS and I had some good times, you know. I enjoyed the days when kissing it feels fruity on my lips. But then, I have slowly fallen out of love from it. It wasn't because it was a horrible product but because it didn't last on me and I think there’s so many lip balms out there that offers better service than just cute packaging and fruity taste.  Let me give you the details of our love story. This product became popular last year because of its cute packaging. So many beauty gurus raved about it but lately, it has been categorized under overrated product list. (Source) It got me into thinking if EOS lip balm is really an overrated product. Why did I shelved this product anyway? I remembered it was a year ago when I got my EOS lip balm in strawberry sorbet. Believe you me, I was so freaki...

Inspired by Cotton Candies: OMG Nail Polishes

I confess, I am such a sweet tooth. I crave for anything sweet like chocolates, cake, candies, and chocolates! Did I say chocolate twice? So, forgive that the nail of the day is something I call “cotton candy” because the colors remind me of cotton candies sold in front of churches. Source My nails look' really sweet!!!   This pink and yellow combo is my take on the different-color-on-the-ring-finger trend and surprisingly I love it. This is my first time to shy away from the norm because I am more of one-color-polish type of girl. This combo grew close to me that I took hundred of photos of them. They look so cute in person, I can’t help but to keep on staring at them.  The polishes I used are from OMG. Yellow one is OMG Banana Boat and the other one is OMG First Date . I saw these nail polishes in a convenience store and I just thought they look so cute standing side by side with each other. After trying both of these polishes, here's what I ca...

Jazzy Collections Eyebrow Gel

I was doing a little stroll along beauty section when the sales assistant asked me, "Ma'am, ano pong nilagay niyo sa kilay nio, ang ganda kasi e, sanay na sanay kayo magkilay..." "Maam, what product did you use on your eyebrows? You are really good on doing your brows!"  Truth is, I wasn't always this good with brows. I had my fair share of uneven brows, messy brows, overplucked, bushy, wrong shape, wrong curves. But by having those mistakes, I learned how to perfect my brows, I learned by doing, which I think is one of the most important thing when it comes to make-up. You learn every single time you do it. I still do mistakes from time to time, and I am still improving every single day, but I guess that's just the beauty of make-up. Sometimes, you've created a masterpiece, sometimes, you've created a trash... in that way, you enhance your skills. Okay,did I just became very sentimental about eyebrows? Yes, I did. Anyways,  ...
