REVIEW: Etude House Drawing Eye Brow

Hello there my beautiful friend! Lately, I've been so much busy in job hunting so please forgive me for not being updated here in my blog. :) Anyway, I know that you're interested in today's article cause I will be reviewing another brow product! Yay! Let's start now.

First, lemme show a picture of the product.
Etude House - Drawing Eye Brow Pencil (Shade #3)
The above photo shows how the product looks like when the caps were removed.

PACKAGING
It has a simple & nice appearance which at first glance, you'll know that it is an eyebrow pencil. It is a retractable pen and easy to use because of the angled applicator. Also, I like the idea that it has a spooly brush on the other side cause you don't need to buy one! :)

SWATCH
You can notice its black-brown shade which for me is perfect for people who have black-haired brows like I do! Haha. Do I say it right? Nyway, I am obsessed with the shade. Feels like it's the perfect one for me.

APPLICATION
Please don't mind my messy brows. Haha! Just look at how the shade looks like when applied on the eyebrows. Lol
Etude House Eye Brow Pencil (shade #3),  in my personal opinion, is my brow's best friend! Yes.. Notice how the shade looks very natural on me. :)

OVERALL OPINION
I love this product! Actually, this was my second time using the product cause I already emptied one before. The shade is simply amazing! I have been a huge fan of brow product before so I got to try a lot of them. And this one, I must say that it's one of the best for me. Very convenient to use, stays for a long time, plus it gives me a really natural-looking finish! Would definitely repurchase one again! I highly recommend this to you guys. :)

PRICE
PHP148 making it very affordable considering the quality that it'll give you!


Thank you so much guys for reading! Hope you enjoy it. :)

REVIEW: 4U2 Cosmetics Sexxy Me Lusty Matt Lipstick & Lip Fixx Matt Concealer

Welcome to another blog beautiful people! :) Lately, I've been so much obsessed with bold lip color and I do not know the reason why. Haha. You know the trend nowadays! Also, I became in love with matte lipsticks lately. So much for the introduction, I will now show you some pictures of the products that we will be reviewing today.

Another items that I got from my favorite local makeup brand..
4U2 Cosmetics - Sexxy Me Lusty Matte Lipstick (Shades #1 & #3) and Lip Fixx Matt Concealer (Shade #3)
Above is a picture of the products when you opened the box.
These are what was written at the back part.

PACKAGING
I personally like the packaging of all the lip products above. All are attractive to the eye and looks very chic and girly! :)

SWATCH
I tried the products at the back of my hand and here it goes.
The color of the two lipsticks are amazing! I am so in love with them like ugh.. make me want to try all the shades! Haha. The consistency is creamy and it dries with a soft-matte finish. The lip concealer seems like a nude lipstick. It has a lip healing service which I think is perfect for moisturizing dry and chapped lips.

APPLICATION
4U2 Cosmetics - Sexxy Me Lusty Matt Lipstick (SHY 03)
 I SUPER LOVE THIS SHADE! :) This is actually my first time to try this kind of color and I immediately added this to my favorites. When I wear this, feels like I'm totally confident with myself although I somehow look like a bad girl. Haha. YOLO! I will wear this whenever I want. My friends even told me that it's beautiful and that's what matters. :)
4U2 Cosmetics - Sexxy Me Lusty Matt Lipstick (SHY 01)
 MADE ME WANNA ROCK RED LIPS! Hahaha. I'm a big fan of pink lip colors and this one made me wanna wear red lips even on daytime! I love the finish of the lipstick. It stays for a long time.
 4U2 Cosmetics - Lip Fixx Matt Concealer (SHF 03)
This is the first lip concealer I've ever tried and I must say that it's really good. It can be use to lighten the color of your lipstick or even just a base. This one even has moisturizers & collagen and sun protection too which are plus factors!

OVERALL OPINION
I think it's too obvious how happy I am to have the chance to try this lip products. Haha! I SOO LOVE THEM, that's all I can say. The smell is good. I like the soft-matte finish cause it doesn't dry up my lips. It stays for a long time. Everything is really nice about them. The lip concealer is adorable cause you may use it in many ways. About the lipsticks, I would definitely want to try other shades like pink and nude! :)


Thank you so much guys for always being with me while I'm sharing my happy thoughts about makeup. Haha. I appreciate all the support you gave me! And by the way, I was recently partnered with StyleHaul and that would not be possible without all of you. Love lots! :)

I used the SHY 03 lipstick in one of my makeup tutorial. Please watch my recent video here: http://youtu.be/qmN69gnMFuo

REVIEW: 4U2 Cosmetics Eyeshadows

Hi guys! I'm so excited share this review to everyone because I will be featuring some of my favorite products from all my makeup collection. If you're curious why, please stay tuned and let's get started! :)

I always tell everyone how much I personally LOVE makeup or even skincare products from 4U2 Cosmetics. I am no being biased here but 4U2 actually exceeds my expectation with their products.

Today, I will be reviewing eyeshadows from different line of the brand. Here they are! <3
4U2 Cosmetics - Bel-Air Brands Inc.

4U2 Glitz Eyeshadow (Shade #2) - Fashionable and practical colors and highlighter to dramatize your eyes. New, long lasting and soft touch formulation. It's really you!
4U2 SPLASH! Velvet Eyeshadow 4 (Shade #7) - Vibrant colors with perfect highlighters. New formulation with velvety soft feel. Let the eyes have it. Come on - Make a SPLASH!
4U2 Envy Eternity 3 Color Eyeshadow (Shade #1) - Enviable new color combinations to take you from here to eternity. Travels well. Get envy into your life... it's no deadly sin!

PACKAGING
Can't explain how much I adore the packaging of all the three shadows above! They're all very attractive and pleasing to the eye. I bet every girl (especially teens) would love the packaging of the brand. Each item is very handy and travel-friendly. In my case, I always put them in my makeup bag and consider them as my go-to eyeshadows.

SWATCH
Here are some photos showing how each color looks like when applied on the skin..
All shades are richly pigmented! :)
The colors in this shadow quad are amazing!
The shades look similarly with the first shadow trio but they're actually different.

OVERALL OPINION
For someone who is always on the go like me, these eye shadows are perfect! Yes. The packaging, texture and pigmentation are all adorable. You'll totally love every aspect of this product! Although what I noticed is that the brand does not produce matte shadows. All of the three shadows I showed you guys are composed of shimmery shades. However, they're still wearable for daytime. You just need to tap your brush first before applying this on your eye lids. Having the chance to try these three made we wanna try the other shades too! I definitely recommend this product to someone who is looking for good quality shadows. Worth every money you pay. :)


That's it for this review session! Thank you so much everyone for reading this. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing all the articles in my blog.

REVIEW: Nichido Minerals Precise Eye Pencil

Hey beautiful people! Welcome to my very first brow product review! :)

Nichido is a local makeup brand here in the Philippines. I have tried some of their products before and I was satisfied with all the items that I got from them. They were able to produce affordable yet good quality cosmetics. For now, I will be sharing you my thoughts about their Precise Eye Pencil which I uses as a brow liner instead of eye. :) Here are some photos..
Nichido - Minerals/Precise Eye Pencil
 I asked the beauty consultant of Watsons on what shade will suit me best and she gave me 'Chestnut'. She told me that this shade is their best seller! Just a trivia, she also mentioned that this is the brow pencil used by a famous makeup artist here in my place, San Pablo City, Laguna. Can't reveal who he is! :D
As you can see, the product is water resistant and allergy-tested. It is made in Czech by Goldline Cosmetics. :)

SWATCH
I love swatching makeup products at the back of my hand!
I love its black brown shade. It's perfect for my dark colored eyebrows. Haha!

APPLICATION
Below is a picture of my bare brows. I used a spooly first to comb the hair so it will be in place.
Here is a picture of my brows after I put on the Nichido Minerals Precise Eye Pencil in Chestnut.
You can really see how brows frame the eyes. :)

OVERALL OPINION
Another brow pencil to be in love with! Haha. Forgive me guys, I just love collecting products which are intended for brow use. We know how much brows can change up a look so I really exert effort in finding the right product for me. :) Look at the photo above, the shade looks very natural for me. The consistency is not too waxy so it's just enough. I strongly recommend this to everyone who wants good quality brow pencil but is on a budget! :)


Thank you so much guys for reading! Hope this inspires you to fix your own brows. Please take note of this statement which is always mentioned by Mish, "Brows are not twins. They're sisters." So if you are afraid to tame and groom your brows because you think they're uneven, that's natural! You don't want them to look identical. Trust me! Most of my friends are telling me that they're afraid lining their brows. Don't be afraid guys! That's why I'm your friend here, don't hesitate to ask me any question about brows. I would love to answer that! :) Hope to see you in my next blog. Bye for now. *BIG HUGS* :)

REVIEW: GT Carrot Lotion

Hi dolls! I missed you all so much. It's been few days now since I last posted a blog for everyone. Sorry for taking me too long to make this one. Anyway, I want to get back to each of you so I am writing this article right now. Let's begin! :)

As written in the title itself, I will be reviewing a product from GT Cosmetics line. GTMCI is a 100% Filipino owned company that manufactures skin care products.

This will be my first time reviewing a product from the brand and I guess everything here will be worth reading since I will be sharing thoughts about my favorite product from them which is the GT Carrot Lotion.
GT Carrot Lotion - 4 in 1 Anti-Aging Formula (Whitening, Moisturizing,
Body Concealer & Sunblock) SPF60

PACKAGING
You know guys the reason why I always mention the packaging in my reviews is because it is one way to attract potential buyers to scan the product when it was placed in stores. I'm just saying! Anyway, what I can say about the packaging of this lotion is that it has attractive designs. In just a glance, you'll obviously know that this is a Carrot Lotion because of the prints in the container. Just look at the photos above! The product contains 100ml which is good because it can be used for quite long time.

SWATCH
First, I will show you guys a picture showing the product at the back of my hand.
Next here, you'll see how it looks like when blended.
As you can notice on the part where I put on the circle, there is huge difference with my skin tone. It whitens instantly and later on.. the cream disappeared and was like absorbed by my skin!

OVERALL OPINION
I totally love this lotion! The smell, the coverage, everything. :) This is my go-to lotion during summer time and I'm still using it right now. Its high sunscreen protection is a plus factor for me because I hate it when I got uneven skin when it has been exposed to the sun. The GT Carrot Lotion helps me maintain a healthy, fresh, youthful & vibrant skin. A must-have for me everyday! I definitely recommend this to everyone who also loves taking good care of their skin!

PRICE
PHP195 in Watsons and SM Stores. One thing I can say, the price is worth the good quality of the product!
