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!

Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it. So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product. 1. SMELL - Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is...

Treats for My Skin Courtesy of Gluta

This is a long and overdue post about the free facial and diamond peel given by the lovely people of Gluta. I am not the one to get facials because I am not comfortable getting under someone else's hands. (This is the reason why I keep on coming back to the same hairstylist). But this is free so might as well try it. (Who doesn't want free stuff anyway?) The event happened last month at Gluta booth, Robinsons Manila. This is part of the launch of their Gluta White and Firm line, which according to the lady, the first product line that was able to produce all whitening products in just one launch (facial wash, lotion, soap, moisturizer, etc.) Gluta Advance White and Firm Products Now back to the facial, they first remove my makeup with a cleanser, then they further cleaned my whole face with another cleanser. Then, they also used a vacuum to further remove deep-seated dirt from my face. That vacuum felt like some kid was giving me little kisses. It did not hur...

Kulot Not Salot: My Curly Hair Routine

I'm still surprised when friends won't believe when I tell them my hair is naturally curly and that I never had a digi perm or any curling method done. People have been seeing me with rebonded straight hair for the past 12 years, (I thought it was only 10) and they have kind of believed my hair is naturally straight. And frankly, I, too, have forgotten how I looked like with curly hair. I have to rummage a box of old photos to help me remember how my curls looked like a decade ago and why do I even have it straightened. Was it that bad? After almost an hour of looking for old photos of my natural curls- this I realized to my chagrin - I rarely wore my curly hair down when I was a teenager. That was basically the reason why I had my hair rebonded. I did not know what to do with my curls. I did not know how to maximize my curls, its beauty, how to style it, how to play with it. And also- hair entails personality. You see, living in this country,...

NOTD: Bride and Bridesmaids

This post will be photo heavy so beware. Anyways, been wanting to try out some nail stickers but I am not really sure why I haven't had the chance to actually buy and put them on my nails. However, a visit to a craft store led me to find these cute flowers so I thought of giving these stickers a try. I like them actually. What do you think? These nails remind me of my brother's wedding which I actually attended as the maid of honor... I am the girl next to the bride... and as the wedding singer as well... Me and my Marvellous Man So, here's my nails again for your viewing pleasure. That's all for now. I promise to tell you more next time. Bye!
