Everyday Essentials Loot, Woot Woot!

Tuesday, June 19, 2012

     Here it is, my much awaited prizes from another giveaway that I joined two months ago. It's from THE BEAUTY JUNKEE'S 3rd Grand Anniversary Giveaway! This is the grandest giveaway that I've joined and the prizes at stake are really awesome. I never expected to win because I know a lot of her readers are witty and sensible when it comes to their answers. I just expressed what I really feel and learned from reading TBJ's blog posts. So lo and behold, these goodies came home with me last Sunday. 
1. Covergirl Makeups- Lash Blast Fusion Mascara in Black, Nature Luxe Lip Balms in Hibiscus and Smoky Shadow Blast in Tempest Blue
2. Camaru Naturals Organic Soaps- Acerola, Rice Bran and Charcoal soap, Camellia Oil and an Eco Friendly Bag
3. China Glaze Nail Polishes- Let It Snow Holiday Collection 2011 ( Ponsettia, Tinsel Town and Velvet Bow), Icicle, Nail File and Nail Kit
4. Carmex Lip Balms- Lip balm in a Jar, Click sticks (Original, Strawberry and Cherry), Lip Balm in Tube 
5. Samples of L'Oreal Youth Code, Revita Lift and BB cream

     These are more than enough for me. Since I have 3 sisters and sisters-in-law, I decided to share it with them. I also told them to observe the effects of the Camaru natural soap so that I can chronicle their experiences to my blog. I already started using the charcoal soap and will share my reviews on one of post.

Product Review: Maybelline Full N' Soft Waterproof Mascara

Thursday, May 10, 2012

     Hi dearies! How's your week going? Hope everything's doin' great. Pardon my lack of post because I'm feeling lazy and stressed lately but thanks to Bioessence for giving me such a wonderful time of relaxation last Tuesday. I will share that with you in a different post. Anyhoo, this review has been sitting on my blog bin for a long time now. I'm hesitant to make a review on this because my camera is acting up every time I take photos of my eyelashes. Patience is a virtue, as always. I have the pictures now so here's my take on one of Maybelline's mascara. Before I forgot, this mascara is available in the U.S. only and I hope the distributor of Maybelline products will bring it here.

    I'm a late bloomer when it comes to makeup. If you remember my post about eyeliners, I also started using mascara six months ago. This is my first mascara to date and I'm lucky because my sister-in-law gave this as a "pasalubong" from the U.S. I'm not really sure if this is available here in our country now because the last time I checked Maybelline counters, only the Magnum, Cats' eye,  Stiletto and others that I forgot the name were on display. So with no further ado let me introduce to you Maybelline Full N' Soft Mascara.

What I like:

  • cheap if US bought, affordable for my budget.
  • great everyday mascara for an enhanced look.
  • adds thickness and fullness to my lashes.
  • my lashes feels soft and not brittle.
  • doesn't clump nor flake.
  • no stinging or irritation of my eye.
  • waterproof.
  • very easy to remove using makeup remover.
  • no shedding of lashes.
What I don't like:
  • not available in our country.
  • takes a little time to dry.
Will I repurchase? Yes, I hope this will become available soon at Maybelline counters and I'm also eyeing on False Lash Effect variant.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. With lashes like mine, this mascara makes a big difference. Just always follow simple rules in using your mascara like replace the cap tightly after use, don't use the product if your eye is infected or irritated, if the color or smell changes, ditch the product immediately.

     Have you tried Maybelline mascara? What's your favorite? That's all for now. I'll be back tomorrow for some updates on my first event and I'm cooking something for you so stay tuned! 


Good Times!~









Eye Makeup Essentials

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

     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.
     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!~
