Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Review


Hello everyone! So here, my first make up review for 2013, because I’ve posted about foods recently, ~oh beauty and foods <3 ^^ Okay enough. I’m here just to share my first gel eyeliner which I love. I got this last year, and luckily its not yet dry, it still works.

The black gel liner and the brush included.
image
I read from some articles that you can store your gel liner like this, upside down, to prevent it from drying. 
image
The gel liner is on a small glass pot.  They say that gel eyeliners in glass jars don’t dry up as fast as those in plastic jars.
Tips on preventing the gel eyeliner from dying up fast
1. Place the cap of the jar tightly after use. Actually cap it after every dip of your brush. That’s what I do, I avoid it being exposed to the air.
2. Use a clean bush.
3. Keep it away from direct sunlight
image
Though some may prefer using an angled brush, actually I like this more. I sometimes use my angled brush from Charm but I still prefer and use the included brush more often.
image
How do I clean my brush and prevent it from becoming stiff?
1. I use eye make up remover
2. Wash it with foam cleanser and let it dry
image
I applied the last one too thick I guess, so there, it smudged when I rubbed it hard. Its waterproof, I can only remove it completely with an oil remover.
What I like:
-its creamy and easy to apply
-waterproof
-quick dry
-I like the “expert eyeliner brush” included
-Its been with me since last year, and its still not yet dry!
-the price, its affordable (P449). You just need a little bit of it to line your eyes.
What I don’t:
-it sometimes smudge at the middle of the day. Oh well, hello to our weather.

On my eyelids. If you want a more intense (glossy?) color, then I think you use a black liquid liner instead.

and a shameless picture of me. :))
How about you, what is your favorite eyeliner? :)

*By the way, has anyone tried CLIO kill black pen eyeliner? CLIO  is finally available here in the Philippines, I saw it in SM Megamall. (Hello Lee Hyo Ri ^^)

SHAWILL LIQUID EYELINER REVIEW

Hi everyone! So now, I’m not going to post a korean cosmetic. This is Shawill which is made in China. I don’t know why korean hangul is written on the cap and the box though. When I first saw Shawill on department store, I did checked the stand but I thought that maybe its just another regular product because the prices are cheap! I know many has the perception that when its really cheap, maybe it doesn’t work. But I was wrong! My sister is the one who first bought a liquid eyeliner from Shawill to try. She is not an expert in lining her eyelids so maybe she was looking for something inexpensive to try on and practice. Of course, I also get to try her eyeliner.:) Me myself is also not an expert on this, but when I tried it, I’m happy with this liner.:) So I decided to get one for myself too.:)

It is sealed. I got the black one.
image
There is an expiration date! :)
image
image
the brush is really nice, thin and stiff! I really like it!:)
image
My bare eyes..looks dull? haha.:))
image
with Shawill liquid eyeliner + Etude House Oh m’eye lash curling and clean mascara.
image
image
I added some shimmer! this time + Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick in #1 Shooting star. (will post a review soon) :)
image
What I like?
- It stays long!
- Cheap! P128.00 only. and it’s really good.
- good packaging. :) with box, seal and expiration date! it doesn’t look cheap.:))
- color is very pigmented.
- waterproof.
- it doesn’t smudge.
- For me, the brush is okay.
- It dries fast, but sometimes when I accidentally blink right after I put my eyeliner, then I have to fix it again.
- It is available in locally. You can find it on department stores!
What I don’t like?
- The brush is fine but yeah it’s a bit thick, but I don’t intend to use this eyeliner everyday.I just use it when going out with friends esp at night.:)
That’s it for one of my new found eyeliner. It works and its inexpensive! :) Oh did I mention it’s my first liquid eyeliner?..yeah, i’m not really good in lining my eyes so i’m afraid to use liquid liners, but now, I’m not afraid to try other liquid eyeliners anymore! :)

BOBBI BROWN MAKEUP MANUAL For Everyone from Beginner to Pro

Jan 02, 2012
Happy New Year everyone! What are the gifts you received last Christmas? Well actually this is not a gift from someone, this is one of my gifts for myself :p I actually have a wishlist on my planner and I tried to buy everything on the list last December, and this is included. I usually go and read beauty books when I’m in a bookstore, and finally decided to get one for myself. My first Makeup Book : Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual that is for a Beginner like me and even for Pros. This is the softbound version.
image
I was hesitant to buy at first, but the moment I walked in in Fully Booked (last Dec 25, yes after coming from duty), there were big tables near the entrance where they place their best sellers and new books, and I saw this, picked it up right away, and this is the only piece left on the table, like it was just misplaced(because the book under this is Steve Job’s). I even checked the makeup books section and saw none like this. So I thought maybe its really for me! :)
image
It covers a lot of topics, and we all know Bobbi Brown is really an expert on these. Although I have just read a few pages as of now—which are the basics.., but I really learn a lot. :)
image
There are a lot of colorful photos on this book, and I think it is really worth it. Just for P735.00.
image
I’m also planning to buy Face to Face but maybe next time, I’m not even on the half of this book! :)). So what about you?  Do you have any favorite makeup book? Come on I’d like to hear from you. :)

CLINIQUE ALL-IN-ONE COLOUR





CLINIQUE ALL-IN-ONE COLOUR…Gift from my Tito! :D Looks classy (i don’t even want to use it because it will turn messy.haha!) and very travel friendly! :)

I already used it, love the mascara, my eye lashes had more volume and looked thicker, and longer. The lip colors lasts, and didn't dry up my lips. The eye shadow also stayed on for long hours, i love the color. I doesn't use the powder and blush that much. But over all, I really love this all-in one kit. :)
