Product Review: Ever Bilena Advance HD Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

Image
One thing is sure, I am not a brand snob.  I love branded (or high-end) makeup, but I won't mind using those that some would call "low-end" or maybe "local" brands.  If the product works, not to mention a lot cheaper than what I've been using, why on earth would I not consider it? Weeks ago, during the Robinsons Department Store event , I got the chance to check out the latest products from Ever Bilena...their HD makeup line.  Whoa! Yes dearies, Ever Bilena now has an HD makeup line.  Sounds pretty interesting,  so I made sure I grabbed some to test. For now, I'll review their HD Waterproof Liquid eyeliner: Add definition and dramatic look to your eyes with Ever Bilena Advance HD Waterproof Liquid eyeliner.  Comes in a water-resistant formula that keeps you looking eye-mazing for hours!  Enriched with Vitamin Eand Jojoba Oil, it helps nourish and moisturize your lids. wand is kinda stiff, and you have to make sure to have a l...

EOTD: Sweet with a twist

Image
Since I am always running late, I've been wearing a lot of simple eye makeup lately.  When I say simple, I mean just a lid wash and a crease color.  It's getting kinda boring, so for this EOTD, I decided to give it some twist. The Face Shop Brow liner MUFE Brow Corrector in 01 NYX HD eyebase Beauty Pro Sweet & Smokey palette in Shimmery Beige (lids), Violet (crease) and Almond Beige to blend the edges Covergirl Liquiline Blast in Blue (upper lashlines and waterlines) Tonymoly Backstage gel liner Majolica Majorca Lash King mascara     The blue liner made my eyes pop despite the simple eye makeup.  Maybe I can try green, violet and maybe orange next time! ^_^

NOTD: Zoya in Mitzi

Image
I know the weather's being wonky these days, but we all know that summer's just around the corner.  I've been wearing a lot of dark colors for my nails these past few months but now, it's time to get all those refreshing, summer-y colors out!     Zoya Matte in Mitzi I got this as a gift from the Organic Rituals Spa during the exclusive screening of The Vow weeks ago.  Geesh, up until now, I can't still get Tatum's sheepish, cute smile off my mind. (okay, his butt included! LOL)  So if you haven't watched it, try to catch it ASAP.  It's such a heartwarming movie about staying true to your promises and about letting someone you really love go and letting them find themselves first and be happy even if that means not being with you.  Sigh...   Ugh, okay going back to the polish (LOL!)  this shade is a part of Zoya's mod matte summer collection last year.  It's a matte bright lime shade and is perfect for summer.  But I'm ...

(So) Shocking Pink!

Image
If there's one NYX lipstick that has been tested and swatched so many times during the Cosmetologie Fair last week, I would say it's no other than the NYX matte lipstick in Shocking Pink. NYX Matte lipstick in Shocking Pink It's an intense, bright pink with some lilac undertones.  I really got so envious with all the girls who tried this on and instantly became strikingly beautiful. I dunno what or how, but I don't think I've seen anyone who didn't look good when they tried this on.  It's like magic, really! Yeah, the inggiterang palaka  (envious frog) in me just couldn't stand there and look...I had to get one for myself!  I know I don't really look good with bright lip colors, but what the heck. I want...nah, I NEED to get one.   So here it is: It looks almost neon...don't you think? Super sorry for the (gigantic) eyebags...I've been awake for almost 2 days in this picture.   So what do you think? ...

NYX Xtreme Lip Cream: Swatches

Image
and my addiction to NYX lipcreams strikes again! let me show you the first batch I got... (yes, Sol..I'm going to get more! LOL) NYX Xtreme Lipcream Beautify your lips with this velvety rich lip cream that provides extreme pigmentation with a silky and glossy finish. This lip cream is a hybrid of lipstick, lip gloss, and lip stain with intense pigmentation all in one.    I've been hearing a lot of raves about these lipcreams, too bad I only got to see them for real was during the Cosmetologie Fair days ago.  After seeing buyers try these on and see for myself how good it looks, I decided to get 4 shades that I like the most: Candy Land - Dolly Girl - Natural - Pinky Nude     NYX Xtreme Lipcream in Natural   NYX Xtreme Lipcream in Candyland      NYX Xtreme Lipcream in Pinky Nude     NYX Xtreme Lipcream in Dolly Girl Pigmentation is AWESOME!...
