</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today's product highlight is the Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick. If you've been with my blog since 2014, you might have already seen this product on my blog. Back then, I only reviewed one shade, Golden Tail Star. This time, I have four! :)<br />

I was fortunate to be one of <a href="http://ph.althea.kr/">Althea Korea</a>'s beta testers before they fully launched in the Philippines. I was given credits to be spent on their items and 3 of the items I got are these new shades <i>(in my collection)</i> from the Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick line. I took the chance to include my old one to give you all 4 shades in my collection.</div>

I previously got my first shade from an Etude House boutique and it costs PHP228. On <a href="http://ph.althea.kr/bling-bling-eyestick-4191">Althea Korea</a>, however, it only costs PHP190 so I'm pretty sure you can save more money if you shop in Althea Korea, especially if you use my code "theannaluisa". You can get an additional PHP50 discount from your purchase aside from the 150 credits you get from initial sign up.</div>

<i>L to R: Golden Tail Star, Sunset Star (my favorite), Shooting Star and Little Bear Star</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decided to get a variety of shades this time around so I can use it for different purposes. So far, I have used it as an inner corner highlight and as base. I prefer using it as an inner corner highlight because the shades are metallic to shimmery. It is perfect to accentuate the aegyosal <i>(undereye fat)</i> and try out the ever-so-famous Korean youthful look.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My experience using it as a base for powder eyeshadows wasn't bad at all. This product is quite handy. I like how straight forward the packaging is and even though it tends to crease over time, it is easy to re-blend and re-apply once creasing and fading happens. This is a highly recommended product.

Online shopping is one of my favorite things to do. It's like buying presents for yourself. You choose the item, wait for it to arrive and once you get your hands on the parcel, you open it like a gift. Personally, I enjoy looking through my options, get excited for the wait and happy (like a child) once I get my purchase.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4WHeymNWu-eNZrtbDdFs8nB0hUWGG181tMkMnqJuO-BKMRRvWWC7ZY-0Q1rv-gmq18kdg82YgKAZZJB0HlToVZlIlEbyhxA8dTcn-oxiEC8eHGGf7ukTVQJ-7r6FZFwD27CWqHO0ZLQwZ/s1600/P2270007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4WHeymNWu-eNZrtbDdFs8nB0hUWGG181tMkMnqJuO-BKMRRvWWC7ZY-0Q1rv-gmq18kdg82YgKAZZJB0HlToVZlIlEbyhxA8dTcn-oxiEC8eHGGf7ukTVQJ-7r6FZFwD27CWqHO0ZLQwZ/s640/P2270007.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, online shopping isn't as easy as it sounds. You have to choose where to shop and you also have to make sure you're buying the right products for you. In terms of all things beauty, I may have just found the website that will help you do all that-- <a href="https://beautymnl.com/shop">BeautyMNL</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before I talk about the website, let me tell you how I shop wisely. First, I do my research. I read reviews and articles and I think about what I want and need. Granted that I own a beauty blog and a part of maintaining the blog is making sure that I get my hands on stuff that I can review, I <u>never ever</u> buy anything that I know won't work for me. Thus, I search the web for juicy information to make sure I'm getting products that are suited for my skin tone, type and needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After doing my research, I get ready to shop. I also start hoping and praying to find a website that can give me everything on my list, which almost never happens. I have to get some from one site and more from another. I don't like this as I have to track several orders and more often than not, I have to spend more for shipping.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The great thing about <a href="https://beautymnl.com/shop">BeautyMNL</a> is that it makes all of that easy for me. For one, they have the <a href="https://beautymnl.com/bloom">Bloom Magazine</a> where you can find articles related to beauty. They have <a href="https://beautymnl.com/bloom/sections/beauty-101">how-to's</a>, <a href="https://beautymnl.com/bloom/sections/top-reviews">reviews</a> and my personal favorite, the section for <a href="https://beautymnl.com/bloom/sections/budget-buys">budget buying</a> a.k.a <a href="https://beautymnl.com/bloom/sections/budget-buys">Splurge VS Save</a> <i>(complete with demonstration videos)</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, if that isn't enough, they also have a <a href="https://beautymnl.com/reviews">review section</a>
where you can browse through product reviews, which I always find
helpful. Although I must admit, sometimes I end up getting more than
what I originally plan because I always find promising items whenever I
browse through. :p</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A bonus <i>(or should I say 'the highlight')</i> would have to be their <a href="https://beautymnl.com/">shop</a> where you can get everything they talk about in articles and reviews. Basically, that makes BeautyMNL a one-stop shop beauty destination. Also, once you sign up, you get free shipping on orders PHP2000+. This is why I was more than happy to be handpicked to give the website a test run.<br />

They have a wide selection of <a href="https://beautymnl.com/brands">brands</a> to choose from, it was hard for me to restrain myself from buying everything I wanted on the site. Thankfully, I was able to stick to my simple list of Lip and Cheek Tint and an eyelash curler.<br />
<br />
I've been on the hunt for a good eyelash curler<i> </i>and I came across Nippon Esthetic, which I believe is a good brand that makes makeup tools. I've heard good things about their beauty sponges so I thought of trying their eyelash curler. I hope it curls my lashes well. <br />

If you're wondering, I still live in the UK at the moment but I have a friend who went home for a holiday so I had my items shipped to her place and she brought it back here for me. The website accepts paypal so I did not have any problems with payment.<br />
<br />
I'm definitely going to get more products from them especially when I go back for my vacation on December, later this year. I also have more friends going home this March, July and November so I'm excited to ask them to bring stuff for me. Yay! :)</div>

Hi everyone! I'm back after a very long time. I didn't think I would continue posting but a recent purchase made me want to blog again. It's none other than the Tony Mole Pikachu Mini Cover Cushion! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was lucky to have been able to grab a hold of this product in less than 2 weeks after ordering it. I got mine from <a href="http://stylekorean.com/">Style Korean</a> (not sponsored).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The thing about this product that made me buy it in the first place is its packaging. It is hard to deny that this cushion has one of the most adorable packaging I've ever seen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got it in the shade 02, warm beige. To be honest, I didn't know much about the difference between the two shades but I believe the other one is 01, skin beige. I just opted for the darker shade of the two because from experience, Tony Moly shades run light. I am an NC20 in MAC and the shade 02 is a tad bit lighter than my skin tone. I can make it work with myself but it also makes me think this particular product is quite limiting due to the shade selection. I wish they would make more shades for their base products.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing to take notice is its cute puff. It's just like a regular one in terms of its texture but because it has a pokeball design, it makes it 10x cuter. Since this is a 'mini' cushion, the size of the puff is also a bit smaller than usual cushion puffs. It's not really a big deal to me but I can definitely say that using it takes a lot more time than using regular puffs. However, I still use this one because it is just so cute. It blends the product really nicely and gives me a good amount of coverage with a smooth semi-matte finish.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see from the photo above, the product is quite small in comparison with my hands. I have small hands to begin with so you can just imagine how cute and portable this product is. It's a good candidate for travel makeup.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Applying one layer gives me a good amount of coverage enough to hide my dark spots from previous breakouts. As pictured above, it gives me a nice semi-matte finish. I really like how it looks in person. I used to think cushion foundations don't offer much coverage but this product proved me wrong. On the other hand, this is the first ever cushion that I've tried so I don't really have any previous experience to compare it to.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing is for sure, though. This is not suitable for flash photography. Since it contains SPF50+ PA+++, it has a prominent white cast with flash photography. I don't know if you guys are interested in that, but I'm not. I rarely use flash photography especially for taking photos of people so I'm not really concerned with this. I just thought of doing the flash test just in case you decide to use this for picture day, which I highly discourage.<br />
<br />
This isn't also the best for oil control. I have oily, acne prone sensitive skin and even though this product does not break me out, it makes me oil up in just 2-3 hours. It's nothing that a good oil control sheet wouldn't take care of but I ought to mention it just in case you find that as a deal breaker. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not sure about how much product one cushion contains but seeing as it is packaged small, I would assume it's much less compared to usual cushions. Don't worry though. The price is also on the afforable side. It only costs 9.81USD on <a href="http://www.stylekorean.com/shop/tonymoly-pokemon-pikachu-mini-cover-cushion-02-warm-beige/1479106124/">Style Korean</a>. If you're looking to try a new cushion, I would highly suggest this one.</div>

One thing that I miss the most about being in the Philippines is being able to shop at Althea Korea. A few months before I left for UK, the online shopping website opened its doors to the Philippines and just a little over a month ago, they had their one year anniversary celebration. I was so glad to be a part of their birthday celebration.<br />

<br />“Every year, we strive to bring the best Taiwanese products to the Philippines, and this experiential activity allows people to see these things up close. We’ve made everything in this experiential exhibit fun, captivating, and different. We hope to do more projects that would help Filipinos discover how we can help enrich their lives with Taiwan’s superior products,” TAITRA Deputy Executive Director Scott Yang said. </div>

iWhite is getting a lot of hype these days, especially after they revamped their packaging and beauty bloggers/vloggers started raving about their products. This was so apparent with their Aqua Moisturizer, which is a big hit to most people. I've also tried that product before but I will save my review for that in a later post. Today, we are going to be talking about their newly released bb cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BB Cream is called BB.Holic. It has been in the market for quite some time now but I think it is not yet available nationwide as I still haven't seen this particular product in local drugstores and supermarkets near my place. I had to go grab one when I dropped by SM Makati, just to be able to try this one. This explains why I wasn't able to review this product early on. </div>

<br />
<u><b>PACKAGING</b></u><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For now, BB.Holic only comes in sachet. Each sachet contains 4ml and costs PHP24.50. It is good for those of you who wants to try the product out first and is also perfect for short travels. I'm not sure if they will be releasing a full sized version of this one. Hopefully, they do so that you can save a few pesos per net weight. However, it is already quite affordable as it is. Compared to other local BB Creams, this one is more expensive per net weight but compared to other Korean BB Creams, this one is around the same price or maybe even cheaper. Oh, and did I mention this is made in Korea too?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>COLOR</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got this in the shade Beige, which is the darker shade out of the 2 selections. I don't know what possessed me to get this shade but apparently, I was influenced by other reviewers and ended up getting beige. It is a tad bit darker than my skin tone.</div>

<u><b>CONSISTENCY</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The consistency reminds me of the Aqua Moisturizer from the same brand. It feels smooth and watery once you blend it using your fingertips. It is very lightweight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>FINISH</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has a glowy finish. It does not set to a matte finish, but I prefer that it doesn't because my face doesn't look flat. I suggest setting this with powder if you have oily skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>LASTING POWER</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This particular product lasted me a good 6 hours without melting on my face on a hot and humid weather. There will be a bit of fading but it won't completely fade away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>OVERALL PERFORMANCE</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This BB Cream is a very good one. I can see why a lot of beauty bloggers and youtubers like this product. It is lightweight, smells good and has the perfect coverage as daily base makeup. I would've recommended this to anyone out there if only it didn't break me out. Yes, it broke me out. :( To find out more about that, you can watch my first impressions video which will be linked through the photo below. I wouldn't stop you from buying this product as it is really a good performing bb cream. You just have to make sure you're not sensitive to iWhite ingredients. ;)</div>

I found out about Colourette through facebook. What caught my eye is <a href="http://instagram.com/lilymaymac">Lilymaymac</a>'s photo. If you didn't know, Lilymaymac is instagram famous. Her beauty really captured my attention. Because of that, I browsed through the page to see what products they offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I saw a lot of photos about Colourette Creamy Matte Coloursticks and saw all the gorgeous shades they offer. This is what made me research as to where I can find a physical store where I can test the product out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I saw that they had a dealer with physical store in Festival Mall Alabang so I made sure to look for the store when I went there. I got the one in the shade Sahara, a very nice nude that reminds me of the ever-so-popular Kylie Jenner trend. This is also one of Lilymaymac's go-to shades.</div>

Colourette Creamy Matte Coloursticks are packaged in plastic and really reminds me of Inglot lipsticks. If you look at my video review which will be linked below, you can see the similarities of the two. For a local lipstick, I think the design is pretty good. It's not as luxurious as the feel of Inglot lipstick but for its price, it is good enough. I particularly its chic black design. When I first saw it, I honestly didn't know it was a local brand.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This particular line has a creamy matte finish. But then again, what does that exactly mean? I can describe it as a lipstick of almost-satin finish. It is definitely not matte. You can even see a bit of a sheen although I wouldn't necessarily call it 'gloss'. The creamy texture helps keep the moisture on the lips and prevent it from being dry.</div>

As I've said above, this is a nice warm nude shade that really reminds me of the ever-so-popular Kylie Jenner trend. It is quite pigmented even with just one swipe.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a PHP499 worth of lipstick. It is pretty good, if you ask me. It is quite pigmented and yes, it leaves a stain. It also doesn't leave my lips dry. However, for my budget, it is a little pricey.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember my post about the <a href="http://lotsofgirlstuff.blogspot.com/2014/06/thefaceshop-clean-face-clear-away-spot.html">Clear Away Spot from THEFACESHOP</a>? I used to rave about that product back in 2014 and I talked about it like I wouldn't be able to live without it. It was my holy grail spot treatment. Don't get me wrong. It still is, at this point, although if it goes out of stock, I have an alternative that I love just as much as that one.</div>

I ended my 2014 with a nice <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4imlapBQshQ&list=PLUemA28GLuVLHJuGDt48FAShtrmuqgcj4">trip to South Korea</a>. One of my goals when I was travelling there was to grab some good old Korean makeup and skin care. Since I was so obssessed with the Clear Away Spot from THEFACESHOP, I searched every THEFACESHOP store <i>(Well, not all. But almost.)</i> I pass by for that very product. However, it was out of stock. Imagine my disappointment when I couldn't find it even at the airport.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While roaming around the airport for some last minute shopping, I stopped by Etude House and saw this particular product. The packaging really reminded me of the Clear Away Spot and flashbacks of video raves about this product came to my head. Because of that, I bought the product. I figured it would be good to try if it is as good as THEFACESHOP's since this one comes cheaper.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After trying it out, I figured that it functions just as the same way. It dries out the breakouts fast. It works especially good with cystic acne because it draws the acne out from underneath the skin and allows it to go out and get dried.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may also notice that this set comes with 2 bottles. The bottle on the left dries as a pink powder once applied and the one on the right dries as a very faint white powder <i>(more subtle)</i> so I feel like the white one will be better suited to be used as a daytime spot treatment, if you don't have any plans to go out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I highly recommend using this product if you suffer from acne. I give it 2 thumbs up!</div>

Recently, I have been neglecting my blog over <a href="http://youtube.com/sweetkissesbyanna">youtube</a> because I have been more into watching than reading. Lately, I have been obsessed with watching and doing first impressions review. While watching <a href="http://Good day! I am your RareJob tutor for this lesson. I called you but you did not answer. Please do send me a message or give me a call when you are ready to take the class. I will be waiting for you anytime during the reserved lesson period. Thank you very much.">PinayBeautyandStyle Lover</a>'s channel, I chanced upon her first impressions review of the Belo BB Cream <i>(or was it the Tinted Sunscreen?)</i>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
She mentioned that <a href="http://sampleroom.ph/">Sample Room</a> had available samples of the product when she last checked. It served as a good reminder for me to check what's new in Sample Room. After all, it has been a while since my last visit to the website. Upon checking, I found out that there were a little over a hundred samples of the new tinted sunscreen from Belo. I immediately checked the amount of points I had and fortunately, I had enough. Hence, I took the chance and got one.</div>

The Belo Perfecting Shield Tinted Sunscreen comes in a squeeze tube packaging. Following pumps, I like squeeze tube packagings because it allows me to control the amount of product to be dispensed. To add to my delight, it has a nozzle tip that actually allows the product to be re-capped without looking like a total mess. It prevents product from dripping too much.</div>

No coverage at all! If you want a base with a little bit of coverage, stay awayfrom this. However, it is important to know that more than being a makeup base, this is a tinted SUNSCREEN, not foundation or bb cream.<br />

Upon squeezing the product out, you would notice that it is on the lightweight side. It isn't runny but when you blend it on your skin, it feels a bit watery. It's a little hard to work just with fingertips, though. I find that using a sponge is better for this product. Even though it feels watery on the skin, the sponge doesn't eat up the product and makes the application much easier.<br />

I want this product to work for me but unfortunately, after a few hours, this makes me oil up like crazy! Also, I find that when I sweat a lot, the product moves around my face.<br />
<br />
<u><b>OVERALL PERFORMANCE</b></u><br />
I really tried to consider the fact that this is more of a skin care than makeup. However, the next day after trying this one out, it broke me out! Instantly, I would deduct 2 points from my original rating of 3.5/5. I would also deduct 1 point more because now that I am looking at the videos of my first impressions, I see that my skin was way oilier than I thought I looked like. So yeah, 1/5. Sorry.<br />
<br />
This product isn't for me. I would suggest it for people who have dry skin though. You just have to look through the ingredients and see if it has anything in it that may irritate your skin. You can try <a href="http://sampleroom.ph/">Sample Room</a>, if you want to try it out for free.</div>

Once the sheet mask touches your skin, it immediately transforms its colors. This is the reason as to why I was only able to show you the "after" colors. Even though the color changing process went by so quickly, I still had fun applying this onto my face. It's a nice change from my usual regular cotton mask sheet experience.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, and in case you are wondering, yes, it is very moisturizing and I left it on for 20 minutes on my face. The rest of the essence, I used to moisturize my elbows, knees and feet.</div>

I won't lie. This product has been with me for quite some time. I got it from <a href="http://lotsofgirlstuff.blogspot.com/2014/12/memebox-global-15-haul.html">Memebox</a> back in December 2014. I kept it for a while and started using the product last year and I completely forgot to do a review on it. I am not using it anymore but I still think this one deserves to be featured on this blog. This $53 worth serum definitely did some good to my skin, not as a facial serum though. How? Read on to find out. ;)</div>

If you aren't aware what a serum is, it is basically a skin care product comparable to essences and ampoules. Usually, serums are applied right after toner, before your cream or moisturizer. Of course, it depends on how many products you use on your face but usually, that is the case. It is an added step to ensure that product benefits sink deep into your skin.</div>

Miss Age Snail Anti-Wrinkle Serum comes in a tinted glass bottle with a dropper applicator. To be honest, I like this kind of packaging when it comes to serums because I feel like some sort of chemist when I see droppers like these. <i>Of course, I'm not saying chemists are the only ones that uses these kind of dispensers but you know what I mean.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bottle contains 50ml of thick, almost goopy product. Initially, I used it in between my toner and moisturizer day and night. I was hoping the addition of this product would help me 'preserve' my 'youthful' looking skin. This was until I realized that this is actually too moisturizing for my skin type which led me to use it only at night. Eventually, I had to stop using my moisturizer <i>(at night)</i> when using this product. It works so well, don't get me wrong. Whenever I would wake up from a good night's sleep, I can see that my skin looks supple and nice. However, I also feel like it's a little too much on my oily acne prone skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a few weeks of usage, I completely stopped using it and went back to my original skin care routine. I was sad, of course, but I couldn't risk using it a lot because I was afraid I would break out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A couple of months ago, I used my <a href="http://lotsofgirlstuff.blogspot.com/2015/01/thefaceshop-backryuncho-wrinkle-stop.html">THEFACESHOP Backryuncho Wrinkle Stop Eye Cream</a>. That product is my ultimate favorite eye cream. I tried replacing it with a different highly raved eye cream <i>(review will be up ASAP)</i>. The transition wasn't enjoyable. I missed my Wrinkle Stop Eye Cream terribly and I regretted attempting to change from that particular product. The struggle, however, was finding my holy grail eye cream. It was out of stock from the nearby THEFACESHOP boutiques here and I didn't want to buy a different eye cream. This gave me a brilliant idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got my Miss Age Snail Anti-Wrinkle Serum out of my storage box and used it all over again. This time, I only used it under my eyes as an eye serum! Lo and behold, it performed even better than the recent eye cream that I bought. It really made my undereye well moisturized. I'd say it's almost as good as THEFACESHOP eye cream, only the eye cream's effects last on me a little bit longer. Despite that, I can say that this serum really helped me during the phase when I couldn't find my favorite eye cream and I can only imagine how great this serum would be when used by someone with a dry skin type.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right now, I already have my holy grail eye cream so I stopped using the product again. I gave it to my mom, though, and she's been loving it ever since. This is a very good product and I would highly recommend it. If you're worried about the "snail" part of this skin care, don't be. You won't observe any snail properties in the product. In fact, you wouldn't know it's made out og snail secretions if they didn't advertise it that way. It feels and smells just like any other skin care product, maybe even better. :)</div>

Before my 6-day trip in South Korea ended, I did some shopping inside the airport and stumbed upon THEFACESHOP. There was an ongoing sale and I couldn't help but look through the products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
At first, I was disappointed. I couldn't find things that I needed but because I've always been the kind of person to keep on looking around just in case something worth it turns up, I was able to spot this baby. Now, I've been using this a lot whenever I can.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I got this for under 3USD, which is so affordable. I think the original price is under 5USD so it's still quite affordable. In the Philippines, I believe this is priced at PHP350, which is not bad at all.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At first, I was hesitant about the shade since I have a medium light skin tone. I thought gold highlighters would look better on me. I've never tried highlighters before so I really didn't know what to make of it. </div>

After swatching it on the back of my hand, however, I realized the color is not that bad on me. In fact, I felt that it's something that would actually work on me. </div>

After using it on my face, I can say that this particular product really does help in brightening the whole face. As pictured below, I used it on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F730votcgGc">Prom Makeup Look</a> and I can say that a touch of this product really completed the look.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, I can't seem to leave the house without dabbing this onto the high points of my face. The shine doesn't last that long, I'd say 3 hours maximum but by that time, my natural oils would take its place so I really don't mind that it disappears after a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am pretty sure, however, that it would stay longer on dry skin. I highly recommend this product. It is the perfect starter highlighter for those who haven't tried strobing before. It isn't too loud and makes room for mistakes. THEFACESHOP is available in the Philippines so you can definitely get this in stores nationwide. </div>

It has been a while since I sat down and wrote a blog post. Lately, I have been too focused on <a href="http://youtube.com/sweetkissesbyanna">my youtube channel</a> that I have ended up neglecting my blog. Today, I decided to give my blog some attention and create a blog post regarding a product that I highly recommend.</div>

While looking at new items in Watsons, I chanced upon this black detox mask sheet. It wasn't available in the Watsons in my area so I was really surprised to see this on the rack. <i>(I got this in Watsons Salcedo Street, Makati City.) </i>I have been looking for black detox mask sheets ever since it was featured by some of my favorite Korean youtubers. </div>

In that particular store, there were 2 variants- charcoal and honey. I got both to try out. Later, I found out there's another one called Ginseng variant, which I'm still on the hunt for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Immediately after getting home, I placed the mask sheet in the fridge to cool it down and used it the next night. You can just imagine my excitement. Although there's not much difference from the usual masks I use, I still find it fascinating that this mask is in black <i>(as pictured below)</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best thing about it, however, is not the color but its size. As you can see, this mask fits my face almost perfectly. That is not something that I commonly experience with masks. Usually, I find that Korean mask sheets tend to be bigger than my face which is why the holes don't fit my eyes and nose. I don't know if I have a small face or if mask sheets in general are made to be big. This, on the other hand, is just right. I am able to put it on with no fuss and it is one of the most comfortable mask sheets I've tried.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing that I like about these mask sheets <i>(any variant)</i> is that it makes my skin look healthy and bright the next day. In fact, I decided to show you a bare faced selfie down below. I don't normally do this because I don't have perfect skin but looking at how nice it made my skin look, I overcame my shyness and decided to show you its results. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am planning to repurchase more of these, along with the other variant, Ginseng, if I ever see it again in stores. I would highly recommend this product. Oh, and for those who are wondering, it just costs PHP45 each.</div>

If you're active enough on instagram <i>(or if you just follow me <a href="http://instagram.com/theannaluisa">@theannaluisa</a>)</i>, then you probably have already come across the hashtag #CanYouPullOffPurple. It's something that's been out for a few months now ever since <a href="http://www.everbilena.com.ph/">Ever Bilena</a> and EB Advance announced that they will be launching new lipstick shades for their collections. And yes, you guessed it right. Everything's purple! In today's post, I will be featuring the newest EB Advance Supreme Lipsticks in different shades <i>(and finishes)</i> of purple.</div>

It took me a while to get them because I unfortunately live in the South. I mean, I'm close to Metro Manila but even then, it took a while for it to reach at least Muntinlupa which is about 15-30 minutes <i>(and the closest)</i> from my home. Nevertheless, I am glad I was able to try all shades and that I am able to share this goodness with you.</div>

<u><b>PACKAGING</b></u><br />
<br />
EB Advance are really stepping up their game. I mean look at those packagings! It reminds me of a MAC lipstick, only this one is white and it actually gives off a clean feel which I like. It is made of plastic but it doesn't feel flimsy at all. You cannot see the shade right away but they are labelled at the bottom so you can see the shde without opening the tube.<br />
<br />
<u><b>FINISH</b></u><br />
<br />
There are 2 finishes for this line- matte and creme. For each finish, they have 2 shades to choose from. To show you better, I have taken a photo of each of the lipstick tubes for your convenience.<br />

For a product that only costs PHP195, this is a really good product. Everything is pigmented and it is easily applied on the lips. It also doesn't dry out my lips and it stays on for a pretty good amount of time unless you eat greasy food. But then again, retouch is very easy so I really don't mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It is also very accessible. I got mine from Watsons and I'm pretty sure this is already available in a lot of stores nationwide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is a product that I would highly recommend for anyone out there. Whether you're living or just visiting the Philippines, this is a lipstick that you should get. It is a good quality lipstick for a very affordable price. I also did a video first impressions review on this. Feel free to watch it by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvZcOalZkqA">clicking on this link</a> or on the photo below. Enjoy!</div>

This love month, Ever Bilena announced a Buy 1 Take 1 promo for their Shade and Shine Lipstick lines. Because I wanted to try out more lipsticks from the local brands, I have decided to grab a few and review them for you. I have also included some lip swatches for you to see how it looks when used.</div>

<i>It expires 24 months after opening</i> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This particular line has unique prints on the packaging itself. For the shade lipstick line, the main tube has black stripes, probably to signify "shade" while the shine lipstick line has hearts on the cap. From the tube to cap, everything's made of cheap plastic which makes it look and feel cheap. The packaging is hard to maneuver <i>(up and down)</i> with one hand, and sometimes even with two. It feels flimsy and looks as if a slight mishandling may cause it to break.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<u><b>APPLICATION</b></u><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To put it simply, application with this lipstick is a no fuss thing especially since the lipstick is shaped just like a regular lipstick, nothing peculiar about it. Most shades aren't pigmented so you have to swipe it several times to make the color opaque so it might take some time for you to achieve the pigmentation you want. There is also a scent that really bothers me- a combination of sweet candy scent and petroleum jelly. I'm not a fan of that.</div>

<i>Shade lipsticks have white balms in the center and dark balms for the shine lipsticks. Both balms are colorless.</i> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The shade lipstick like is a creamy matte finish while the shine lipstick line is initially a satin lipstick. However, after a few hours, both lipsticks look creamy.<br />

<br />
As mentioned above, these lipsticks aren't pigmented. It may take a couple <i>(or more)</i> swipes in order to get an opaque shade from them. The selection of colors are also limited, with major focus on a variety of red shades. There's not much nudes, oranges and browns.<br />
<br />
<b> </b><br />
<u><b>PERFORMANCE</b></u><br />
<br />
Surprisingly, even though this is only PHP 95, it performs quite well. It lasted longer on my lips even after eating. It also leaves a slight stain on the lips.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, this product was better than what I expected. I have included my initial impressions on the product although after using it some more, I will have to deduct half a point more because the scent bothered me the more I used it. Instead of 3/5, I would give it a final rating of 2.5/5.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wouldn't highly recommend this product but I wouldn't think of discouraging other people from purchasing this product either. However, if you're a student on a tight budget, this might prove to be a good product to try or start off with.</div>

If you're a subscriber on my channel, then you've probably already heard of this but I'm currently hosting a giveaway on my <a href="http://youtube.com/sweetkissesbyanna">youtube channel</a>. This is in line with reaching a milestone which is getting 1000 subscribers. I know that doesn't sound a lot to some of you but to me, it is. So to thank my viewers, I cooked up a 1000 subscriber giveaway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Originally, it was supposed to be a sponsored giveaway by a company. I had a lot of hair care products for giveaway. However, I had some problems and I had to change the prizes. Instead of the hair care products, the winner will be receiving 2 Matte in Detail Lipsticks in the Shade Rox and Dimple. On this post, I will be explaining as to why I had to change my prizes. If you're not interested on that, you can just <a href="https://youtu.be/jO3BPAOquqs">go straight to the video so you can join the giveaway</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So now let's talk about why I had to change the prizes. Basically, I had the same goodies to giveaway for my 850 subscriber giveaway and I sent the products before the holiday. Unfortunately, when I followed up with the winner, the package did not arrive. I had to get in touch with the courier and it took so long to get the final result of the investigation. Long story short, they lost it! Unfortunately, the discussion about the compensation even got longer because I did not declare the amount of the items. Another long story short, they wouldn't pay the exact amount of the items but I had to settle with it. Because my 850 subscriber winner, Kissy, has been waiting for the items since December, I decided to give her the hair care products for my 1000 subscriber giveaway, thinking that I can just buy the exact items for my ongoing giveaway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fastforward to a few days ago, I really could not find the hair care products so I just decided to change the prizes. Anyway, I hope you don't mind that I did and hope that you would join <a href="https://youtu.be/jO3BPAOquqs">HERE</a>.</div>

I've got to be honest. Rather than spending my money buying Clairsonic or other cleansers of the sort, I'd rather buy quality skin care items and use a cheaper alternative that does the job. But really, I don't have the funds for it so I tried this out on a whim. Fortunately, this trial turned into a great discovery, which is why I'm sharing it with you.</div>

Last December, white strolling around SM Megamall Beauty Section, I stumbled upon this natural cellulose cleansing sponges from Marionnaud. Priced at below PHP 50 <i>(From memory. I lost the receipt, sorry.)</i>, I figured it wouldn't be bad to try it since I've been using my <a href="http://lotsofgirlstuff.blogspot.com/2015/04/holika-holika-egg-soap-speacial-set.html">Holika Holika Cleansing Jelly Puff</a> <i>(PHP 165)</i> for a few months since then. I think it's been about 2-3 months since I started using it and I felt like I needed to change it for sanitary reasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I went to the Holika Holika counter to purchase one but to my disappointment, they didn't have one in stock. Because of this, I tried to look for an alternative and it led me to this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was hesitant at first and I had to read the product description if this is indeed a sponge that may be used to scrub the face. Having oily, acne prone skin, I feel that regular exfoliation really helps with my skin condition. It helps lift off dead skin cells and prevent dirt and oil build up to help prevent me from breakouts. Thankfully, the description claimed that this particular product is <i>ideal for cleansing and exfoliating all types of skin</i>. Thus, I bought one pair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started using this particular product last December so I'm pretty sure I've used it long enough to give you a review. Initially, I felt like this product is a little abrasive and I was scared that it would be too harsh for my skin. However, I still pushed through with using the product in the hopes that it wouldn't. I just had to control the amount of pressure I had to use whenever I scrub my face. To my delight, I found that using this product really helped me a lot with my skin problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I only use this product at night, after lathering my kojic acid soap from the Dr. Alvin line on my face. I find that after using this, my skin feels extra clean and it really helps keep my skin blemish free. I especially find this useful on days when I use makeup because it removes extra products that weren't removed by my makeup remover and just by simply massaging face soap.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a hidden gem that I haven't heard much about. I highly recommend this product.</div>

About 4-5 years ago, I sat down with my dermatologist and she told me that peeling could help declog pores thereby reducing the amount of zits I had on my face. She also told me that it would be helpful in lightening acne scars brought about by these breakouts. While browsing inside the Nature Republic boutique in Festival Mall, my eye caught this Skin Smoothing Lemon Peeling Gel. I tried it on the back of my hand and I couldn't help but purchase.</div>

Once spread throughout the skin, it creates a gel film that feels soft and smooth to touch. Do not, I repeat, <u>do not</u> massage onto the skin right away.

To my delight, this product actually works. While I was massaging the product onto my face, I can feel bumps of product build up onto my fingertips and it surprisingly gives me a feeling of satisfaction. <i>(I don't know how else to describe it.)</i></div>

<i>After massaging. I know, the dirt is gross but I wanted you to see how it actually looks like.</i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you're done massaging, make sure to rinse the product off, along with the dirt <i>(and dead skin cells)</i>. It makes my skin very soft and supple after each session with this. I use it only for a maximum of twice a week. I forgot the price but if I do remember or find out about how much it costs, I will let you know. That aside, I highly recommend this product because it actually works!</div>

Last December, I got a surprise package from the good people of Vibelle Corporation. I wasn't expecting anything from anyone so imagine my surprise when I saw a parcel addressed to me arrive. When I finally opened the package, I was extremely happy to see this goodness.</div>

I have heard of Biore years ago and I've also encountered it when I travelled to Japan 2 years ago so when I saw that Biore is finally in the Philippines, I couldn't be any more excited. Initially, I thought this is just going to be a sunscreen with a light tint. More than being a BB, I thought it was more of a sunscreen. I was surprised to see it actually functions as a BB. :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was happy to see that this has a yellow undertone, perfect for warm toned individuals like me. It only comes in one shade, though. So if you're a little on the tan side, it might be hard to make this product work for you. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was pleasantly surprised that it actually gives a good amount of coverage for everyday use. This is definitely not just a sunscreen, it is a BB! It has a good light to medium coverage even with just one layer. It is able to even out my skin tone and conceal some of my imperfections. However, it is not buildable as it tends to cake if you apply more than one layer.</div>

<u><b>CONSISTENCY</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It may come off as thick when initially dispensed. It is definitely not runny but it feels lightweight when blended properly. TIP: It is better blended with fingertips than beauty sponges.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>FINISH</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has a matte finish. It's hard to find a matte bb cream in the market these days, which oily skinned individuals like me can use. This is a good example of that rare drugstore gem. No waiting time, it sets almost instantly with a matte finish. There is no need to set it with powder. It is also important to take note that even though it has a matte finish, it doesn't feel drying on the skin.</div>

This particular product can withstand 6 hours of Philippine humid weather, with no setting powder or mist. It has good oil control and is able to keep makeup in place with no difficulty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
After trying it out a couple of times, I still think it's the perfect everyday base makeup. I would give it a 4-4.5/5 because it really performs well and to top things off, it is quite affordable at only PHP450. I would highly recommend this product to everyone out there.</div>

I noticed that a lot of beauty bloggers and youtubers have been going on about this iWhite 2 Minute Whitening Miracle and although I wanted to jump in on the bandwagon sooner, I couldn't find this particular product in the nearby supermarket and Watsons in my area. Last month, I dropped by Megamall <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDvm0d1hGks">to get my prizes from a video contest I joined</a> and I chanced upon this product in the beauty section of SM Department Store.</div>

At only PHP 24.50, I couldn't pass it up. I bought one to try out and even asked my sister to try it out as well for another opinion. I really wanted to know whether the hype is real. I originally filmed a first impressions review on this product but decided to just delete the footage because I wasn't really happy with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Each sachet contains 8ml, which was more than enough for 3 sessions <i>(2 for myself and 1 for my sister)</i>. The photos below are taken during my second attempt to document my iWhite experience and it turned out to be more successful than my first one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To use the product, you basically just spread an ample amount of the product all over your face, creating a gel-like film on top. You have to let the product sit on your face for about 2 minutes before "working" it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After 2 minutes, the product is now ready to work its miracle. Massage the product onto your face using a circular motion and a combination of the product build up and dead skin cells gets lifted off of your skin. Do this for about a minute then rinse.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It didn't really feel abrasive on the skin while I was massaging it but unlike other peeling gels that I've tried before from Purebeauty, Nature Republic and Holika Holika, the rough feel this gives is more fine compared to the other products I mentioned. I like to think that because of that, it is able to do its job without being too harsh on the skin.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While rinsing the product, it forms and feels like gel once again. You'd know you're done when you don't feel the gel film on your face anymore. Pat it dry and voila! Super soft and smooth skin. Both my sister and I had similar results. In fact, we couldn't stop touching our face <i>(which we probably shouldn't be doing in the first place)</i> because it was just that soft and smooth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This particular product has 3 claims: Active Whitening Nourishment, Deep Action Hydration and Gentle Exfoliation. All 3 claims are true as it gives instant brightening effect and like I said, leaves your face feeling soft and supple like a baby's butt. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In conclusion, the raves are real and I would highly recommend this product to everyone out there. If you have already tried it before, do let me know your experiences in the comment section.</div>

I have another lipstick review for you. Are you excited? Well, I am! Today's lipstick review is going to be on the Fashion 21 All Day Matte Lipstick and I got it in the shade of All Day Russet. I initially saw this on purpleheiress youtube channel and I originally wanted to purchase the All Day Bronze shade. However, it was sold out so I couldn't grab a hold of it.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This lipstick is very affordable at only PHP 175.00 and it is available in SM Department stores. I got mine in SM Sta. Rosa and out of all the shades available, I found All Day Russet to be the best.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The packaging looks really nice. Because of its metallic gray purple outer covering, I find it hard to believe that this product is something from the local drugstore. Moreover, it doesn't only looks nice but it <u>doesn't</u> feel flimsy at all. A lot of people also compares this particular product to MAC lipsticks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<u><b>APPLICATION</b></u></div>
<br />
Initially, the application wasn't as smooth. However, after removing the new film on the lipstick end, I find that it applies smoothly with no hassle. Even though I picked a red shade, I don't find myself stressing over making a mistake because I have full control with the product.<br />
<br />
<u><b>FINISH</b></u><br />
<br />
The finish of this particular product is straight up matte. You don't need to wait for it to set because it does that instantly, which is good for people on the go. It also doesn't transfer as much.<br />
<br />
<u><b>COLOR</b></u><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>L: One Swipe; R: 2-3 Swipes</i></div>
<br />
I had to swipe the lipstick on my lips to get the opacity that I want. In short, I was a little disappointed with the color pay off.<br />
<br />
<u><b>PERFORMANCE</b></u><br />
<br />
It fades around 3-4 hours even without eating and definitely disappears after eating and drinking, which is a same because that means you have to constantly check if you still have product on your lips. It also doesn't leave a stain so I find that after it disappears, you really have to do a retouch.<br />
<br />
Overall, I was happy with this purchase although the longer I use it, the more I get disappointed with its longevity. Initially, I gave this product a 4/5 rating but now that I have used it some more, I'd have to take .5 off the rating since the longevity is worse than I initially expected. I find myself doing retouch than most of my lip products, which is why I'm finally giving it a 3.5/5 rating.<br />
<br />
I have to mention, on the other hand, that the color is very nice and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. I also find my sister asking to borrow this product more often than any other lipstick I own.<br />

Before anything else, I would love to greet you all a Merry Christmas! Today marks a really exciting day in the calendar. Well, at least for me it is. Aside from it being Christmas eve, it is also one of my closest friend's birthday. So in line with that, let me take this opportunity to greet her. Happy Birthday Lyle! I will be dropping by to visit you later. ;)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enough with the greetings, let us now move on to the review proper. Let me be real with you. I've never been more excited with a release of a specific local product than now. Ever since Ever Bilena posted a photo of their liquid lipsticks, I've been going back and forth to the nearest Watsons and Ever Bilena counters to check if they already have it and it was only until last weekend when I saw them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I saw it, I was super excited. How excited? Well, this vlog will explain it better than me. I swatched every single shade in the counter at the back of my hand and below is a close look at it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Shades from L to R: Spring Debutante, Rose Champagne, Pink Pearl, Fire Opal, Rich Vino, Soft Lace</i> </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was eyeing on Rich Vino because it's the darkest wearable shade I've seen from a local brand so I tried it on my lips. I was also with my friend and she tried Pink Pearl. We were both really impressed with the product and decided to buy one. I ended up getting Soft Lace instead, though.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did a video review of this particular product on my <a href="htt://youtube.com/sweetkissesbyanna">youtube channel</a> so you can see how it actually wears on me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That was the first time I tried the shade Soft Lace and once again, I was very impressed. After trying the product out for a couple of times, I am now ready give you my final thoughts on the EB Advance liquid lipstick.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh99pRhcoxNy4tchDoTsybbc1Ix_hQkVHwj8eCynd1tkJm-UsoTayrLZwa4mquPfOYtTbK3QZBbvRPx__TDFyLiWR1VCS8znrI8X2qqBdirvbIoFtQV4fmJPoZ0tXWWhbiTm7e32lFYoa0m/s1600/PC181975.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh99pRhcoxNy4tchDoTsybbc1Ix_hQkVHwj8eCynd1tkJm-UsoTayrLZwa4mquPfOYtTbK3QZBbvRPx__TDFyLiWR1VCS8znrI8X2qqBdirvbIoFtQV4fmJPoZ0tXWWhbiTm7e32lFYoa0m/s640/PC181975.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>PACKAGING</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like I said during my first impression, EB really stepped up their game on this one as the packaging looks really nice and handy, comparable to the Maybelline Velvet Matte Lipsticks. It also has a doe foot applicator which helps me from making mistakes during application.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNuN5sVcNimOsmWbp_W-8QHNTi6YC6kTGyDQ54ujvnza0_DMfHeY8uq1IeG_U8XwSB6OocPECgcZp8UEeauVn1KmM6j40jiNnBCmosY7BMjqI6mNtlRTg4CPpDnoKjftDGwgEFC_TdPtk5/s1600/PC181967.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNuN5sVcNimOsmWbp_W-8QHNTi6YC6kTGyDQ54ujvnza0_DMfHeY8uq1IeG_U8XwSB6OocPECgcZp8UEeauVn1KmM6j40jiNnBCmosY7BMjqI6mNtlRTg4CPpDnoKjftDGwgEFC_TdPtk5/s640/PC181967.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Soft Lace on my lips</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>APPLICATION</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One personal struggle that I encounter with liquid lipsticks is that I find it hard to apply. For some reason, I am always scared of making mistakes and even though I've already used this particular product several times already, the ease of application did not change. Yes, the applicator helped but the feeling that I have to slow down and be careful with it did not change. I always have to take extra time for this product. Oh, and if you are wondering, it doesn't have a scent. Other people claim it has a subtle one but I personally don't smell it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>FINISH</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Initially, I thought this product would have a matte finish but upon trying it out, I find that this has a cream finish. You would think that it would set to a matte after some time but even after an hour, the finish remains the same, unless you blot it with a tissue paper, which will, of course, mattify it. It also feels heavy on the lips until the 20 minute mark when you finally feel the lip color set on your lips.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmYa7br49lEiIr7AvwiceuKhf0G0uyJG-BK4HFjexA3v7szZZuW7kmNvNpQeHT78eWNn0e8OcE1x0nyLBnp8JWmQIBjeZ1T3YyB9NM6JFMR_V5zEfL9L7zJa1ZVWXqEGy9nUHBV0FtsQgv/s1600/PC181976.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmYa7br49lEiIr7AvwiceuKhf0G0uyJG-BK4HFjexA3v7szZZuW7kmNvNpQeHT78eWNn0e8OcE1x0nyLBnp8JWmQIBjeZ1T3YyB9NM6JFMR_V5zEfL9L7zJa1ZVWXqEGy9nUHBV0FtsQgv/s640/PC181976.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>One swipe of their lightest shade, Soft Lace</i> </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>COLOR</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though I got the lightest shade from the collection, it was simply as pigmented as the darker shades. I was really pleased with it as you only have to dip you applicator once to cover your upper and lower lip. It is also as vibrant as the color that you see on the packaging.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>PERFORMANCE</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This product applies opaquely on the lips but it is not transfer proof, especially if you leave the cream finish on. The transfer lessens after blotting but that is only expected as you already have blotted the excess product on the tissue paper. One good thing to take note of, though, is that it leaves a stain on your lips despite eating and drinking so you will never have to worry about having nude lips at the end of the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, I would say that I really liked this product. I would highly recommend it to anyone who can grab a hold of this product. I believe you get more than your money's worth. At only PHP180, you are sure to be delighted with this product. I know I am.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Have you also tried this product before? Let me know your thoughts on the comment section below. If you haven't, let me know which shade you are interested in trying.</div>
