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 ...

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, ...

This is another travelogue I found on my drafts. Just want to publish it 'coz "sayang naman" Again, more on photologs so bare with us.

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...

Pieces of my Month: AUGUST 2015

Last year, I did some kind of a monthly gratitude list wherein I gather all images of important happenings in my life for that certain month. I never get to do that this year so I am planning to do it once more. It has helped me to become more positive in life even though I have been struggling with lots of things and that my life is too far from being perfect. Also, I want to realize that there are certain things I need to be grateful for because sometimes I am not able to see good things happening around me. So in accordance of my "coming back to blogging" thang and because this is also part of my birthmonth celebration, I am listing down some pieces of my August. Big part of my month is the celebration of my birthday with my family. We went to VIKINGS, a luxury all you can eat buffet. It was my first time there and I was just so happy to be with the whole family because I guess it was a rare chance that we get to eat out together as a whole. Being a Vikin...

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...
