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 eyeliners because they look natural on me, perfect for office and church days. Black tends to be very strong for my equally strong eye features, so yeah, I'm leaning more into brown shade for that subtle eye accent. If you want heavy, defined eyeliner, I prefer you choose black because this one tends to be very natural-looking.

As most gel liners do, this is creamy and soft. What I do, I get some product using the free brush, then I try to warm the product at the back of my hand so the gel will slide smoothly on my lids. It works really well this way.

The brush that comes along with it is perfect. It ain't like those cheapy free brush that you can throw the minute you open the product. The brush has a brown, kinda like a wooden handle, and the bristles have enough hardness and softness for perfect application of the gel liner.

This is a good product, i recommend you try this one if you are looking for an everyday gel liner.

That's it marvellous ones. Till my next kawaii review.

Bye!!! Mwah!

UPDATE: (Oct. 24, 2014)

I have been using this gel liner mostly on my brows and it works so well, it stays on my brows for hours. I believe this is perfect for brows rather than an eyeliner.

I am also loving this as a base for my eyeshadow because it intensifies the color and makes the shadow stick on pretty well during the day. Just make sure to blend this product really well unto the lids because too much product may cause smudging and you don't want to end up looking like Pow in Kung Fu Panda.

I stopped using this as an eyeliner per se because I feel it's too natural for my taste and also, I am inclining into jet black liner (I am currently using Jazzy Cooper Gel liner). I could still use this as an eyeliner on days when I prefer a subtle look.

After four months of continuous use, the product is still in good condition- no drying whatsoever. I still have a lot of product to use, which is quite surprising because I use this product every single day on my brows and my lids. I think it will still be good until next year. I am pretty impressed!

That's it, ladies! Till next time!

Vavush!

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 ...

TURNING PAGES: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

When I was in kindergarten, I had a hard time understanding Math specifically the lesson in “greater than- less than-equal to” equations. My mother, being a teacher, helped me understand the lesson by using analogy . In a manner of storytelling, she told me that the sign corresponding greater than/less than/equal to is Pacman (the famous computer game back then), while the numbers in the equation represent the amount of apples . She told me I have to point Pacman’s mouth to the larger amount so he can eat more apples. I never failed at greater than/less than/equal to lesson ever again. SOURCE: h ttp://prekandksharing.blogspot.com/2012/08/montessori-inspired-greater-than-less.html Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell is a lot like my mom’s way of teaching me Math. It is composed of analogies and stories that helped me understand the wisdom behind success. It will not tell you what to do, it will ask you to analyze the roots of success and w...

On Self-Acceptance

It was late September when I started "Marvellous Much." For two months, I labored myself from taking photos to writing to editing and then publishing. I took this as my own, my baby, my little sanctuary. Although I've done several blogs before, this is the first time I have ever done a blog that is somehow commercial and is focusing on a certain niche. I aim to create a professional blog on this one, something that I can give to the world. Every now and then, before I click the "publish" button, I would see myself stepping back and forth. I know I doubt myself so much. I always see myself as not good enough. Every time I would go public, things scream unto my head - words such as "what will they think of my work?" "Is this great?" "Will the people like it?" I hate this thing about myself. When you lack confidence, you lack strength. I hate myself for this. I hate that I sometimes hate myself. However, for the past two months, wi...

BDJ FAIR 2015

This is my third time to go to this yearly event hosted by BDJ. First time, I went with a friend (Well, hello Ghem!). The next one, boyfie was with me. This time, I decided to just go by myself . I tried to maximize the event so I spent the whole afternoon going from one booth to another. I also pre-registered to two talks/seminars to get an insight or two. If you haven't heard of them yet, BDJ is a community of empowered bellas. Actually, it all started with a kikay planner- The Belle de jour Power planner. Then a community was formed involving mostly users of planners and kikay girls alike. As for me, I've been a BDJ planner user for five years. I go to the event (if time allows me to) because this is where I can buy the new and upcoming planner in a much lower price compared to its selling price. I bought my new planner for only 500 pesos as opposed to its original selling price of 580. Also, the event is actually pretty cool. You can go around, win some fu...

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...

Wedding Bliss: Requirements for Marriage in the Philippines

So, you've decided to get married and you booked your first few wedding suppliers. You started ticking off your wedding checklist. Everything is a bliss... until...the boring paperwork. But of course if you want to get married, you have to make sure it is LEGAL. Right? So, if you are one of those who are about to tie the knot, let me help you by giving you a list of the legal documents you will be needing. Birth Certificate (PSA Copy) - (6 months validity) We got our Birth Certificate at SM North Edsa because it was so convenient to get it there. The only con is that you have to wait for 10 business days before receiving this document. You can get it also in PSA Main Office but let me warn you that it was the worst government office sysyem I have ever experienced so I am not going to recommend you going your PSA copy there. But pro is that you can get it there the same day Certificate of No Marriage - (6 months validity) We also obtain this do...

MT. ROMELO, my first hiking experience

Last year, around May of 2015, i joined a group hike (it was my first) and though I experienced horrible physical pain, I feel like sharing it on this blog. The following paragraph was taken from my journal entry written few days after the climb. It was edited a bit to fit my present view. Climbing Mt. Romelo was one of the hardest travel experiences I've ever done in my entire life. It was the longest two days of my life and it felt like I traveled from the moon and back with my bare foot. I went there on a whim, a single invitation from a friend a day before the start of the journey. I didn't expect the hardship that I was about to encounter. It was the idea of adventure that led me to accept the invite. I admit I was excited, I felt like Bilbo Baggins. We started our climb in the middle of the night, around 8 or 9pm, I suppose. We put on our head lights and off we go. Photo before we ascend the mountain The steps became heavier and heavier as we a...
