     As promised, I will continue my post today. Sorry for leaving incomplete deets about what I received recently. If you'll notice, I already placed the Bloglovin' badge on my sidebar. So follow this blog with Bloglovin'

     Anyhoo, most of the items were given by my youngest sister. I'm the eldest among my six siblings, two brothers and three sisters. I know it's weird that she's the one sending me gifts, she's  really sweet and caring that's why I made this post to show that I really appreciated her kindness.

      Excited much for this gifts! Will blog everything later. I feel sleepy now. Laterzzz! Will make a review on San San eyeliner this coming weekend. I will also use the earrings on my upcoming OOTD if the situation permits. I want to update my blog now but my son keeps on bugging me. We're sharing one laptop all the time. He's watching Little Einsteins on Youtube while I'm reading posts and editing reviews that's why there are times you'll see typo error on my entry. Hope you'll understand. Have a great day ahead! 

Good Times!~

Eye Makeup Essentials

     Hello lovelies! I just want to share something that is very essential to me. I call this my eye makeup. Can I call this such sans the eyeshadow? Well for me, yes. Since I don't put eyeshadow even on special occasions, these things somehow makes my puffy eye bags less noticeable and my not so oily lids at bay. To complete my look, I use mascara and fill the gaps of my brows with eyebrow wax and powder.

E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit in Light, 

Maybelline Full N' Soft Waterproof Mascara in Very Black,

Garnier BB Eye Roll-On and 

San San Gel Eyeliner in Brown

     I'll be posting my reviews on the first three listed above soon. Reviews are already posted just click the links below the photo. As of now, I'm trying to learn how to apply basic eye makeup suited for daytime work. I'll be working few months from now so I have to cope with some major adjustments at home and in my work place. This will be my first "real job" after graduating years ago. It's a long story and a bit frustrating but I can share it to you on a separate post if I have the guts to one of these days.

     Any suggestions for budget friendly eye makeups e.g. undereye concealer, eyelid primer, eyeliner and eyeshadows? Thanks for sharing! 

Good Times!~

Product Review: Shawill Eyeliner Pencil in White 006

     If there's one thing I envy with Korean Actresses and K-Pop stars, it's all about their eye makeup. I'm fond of looking their cute faces with their winged eyeliners, glittery eyes and sparkling tear liners. I love how these eye makeups make their eyes so gorgeous, big and bright. I also want to make my peepers look like them but I know it will be very hard for me since my makeup stash is small. I need to save money to buy those eye makeups and my last resort is an eyeliner for my water lines. I opt to buy this because I read in one blog that white, silver and grey eyeliner can also make the eye bigger and brighter if used in the water lines.

     But the search for my very first eyeliner in white gave me feeling of dismay. I will just make a short review on this eyeliner pencil.

Shawill Eyeliner Pencil in White 006

price: 69php (Around $1.50)

place bought: Shawill Counter, TriNoma

Shawill Eyeliner Pencil in White 006

Swatched more than 5 times to show the color

What I like:

• Cute packaging- there are crystals around the case for that feminine touch.
• I consider this cheap since it costs below 100 pesos.
• Two products in one- there's an eyebrow brush on the other end of the eyeliner.

What I don't like:

• The color payoff is poor- I need to swatch it 5 times for the color to pop.
• Has zero lasting power.
• It smudges on lash line.
• It hurts to apply on waterline, it irritates my eyes.

Will I repurchase? No

Recommendation:

     I give this a 2/5 rating. What more to say? It's cheap so I guess you get your money's worth.

 I think I'm on the hunt again for a good but affordable eyeliner in white, silver or beige. 

     Can you recommend a good eyeliner that's creamy and glides easily?I highly appreciate your recommendations. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Good Times!~

Haul: Bath Essentials plus Makeup Stuff

     Another haul after visiting Asian Eye Institute at TriNoma. It's crazy that all sales are everywhere! TriNoma is also having a sale of up to 70% till the end of the month. I want to congratulate my self for not spending too much yesterday. Mall sales can be tempting for a cheapskate like me and I have to stop myself from buying because I'm saving for something expensive.

   Anyhoo, I bought 3 soaps from All Organics, a white eyeliner, a body scrub and a substitute for my facial wipes which is OOS again. My favorite facial wipes is Neutrogena. Since I ran out of my wipes, I have to purchase Nivea instead.

L-R: All Organics Calamansi Soap, Papaya with Glutathione Soap, A Bonne' Spa White C Salt,

Shawill Eyeliner and Nivea Visage Cleansing Wipes

     I will be reviewing A Bonne' Spa White C Salt Scrub on my next post. This is my HG body scrub and been using it for more than a year now. I will also share my thoughts on Nivea facial wipes and Shawill eyeliner. I need to practice lining my waterlines before making a review on Shawill eyeliner.

     What's your latest haul?Happy Wednesday everyone!

Good Times!~

Product Review: San San Gel Eyeliner with Vitamin E

     After ranting over my E.L.F. Eyeliner Pen on my last post, this gel eyeliner saves the day!

    A few months ago, I've been searching for San San Eyeliner Pen but it's always OOS. I saw this gel liner many times but I ignored it. Since I'm just starting to draw lines on my eyelid few months ago, I'm satisfied with liquid eyeliner and eyeliner pen. So when I dropped by at HBC SM Fairview branch, it was on sale so I dig in. I think it's time to try gel liner, eh?

     I bought color brown, black is always OOS according to the SA and looks harsh on me.

price: 115 php (Around $2.60+)

sale price: 80 php (Around$ 2.00+)

place bought: HBC Sm Fairview

ingredients: Squalene, Kaolin, Ozokerite Wax, Beeswax, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Propyl Praben, Cl 77491, Cl 77499, Cl77492, Cl 77891

What I like:

• It's easy to apply, glides smoothly on my eyelids.
• It's affordable or should I say cheap!
• The color payoff is okay.
• Has Vitamin E.
• Doesn't irritate my eyes.
• Easy to remove, I use my facial wipes no need for makeup remover.
• Simple packaging that comes with a decent brush.
• There's a manufacturing and expiry date.
• Easily accessible in all HBC stores.

What I don't like:

• Not rub/smudge-proof.

Will I repurchase: Yes! After finishing the jar that I think will go a long way. 

Recommendation: 

     I give this a 5/5 rating. It's perfect for a newbie like me. I think this can be a HG material so I have to test and use it for one month. As for the price, it's really a steal! Since I just stay at home most of the time, a jar will last me a long time. 

     Do you use gel liners?What brand can you recommend?Have a great day ahead!

Good Times!~
