Shawill Eyeshadow in Shade 08: Review

A couple of months ago, I (technically it was my mom, not me) bought a single shadow that I can use for work. I didn't want to bring a lot whenever I go to work so I opted to find a single compact eyeshadow and came across Shawill's stand one day. I was actually with my mom that day and was kidding around. I joked about how she should buy me something from the brand so I can try it out. I was aware that she knew I was just kidding around but she said yes. I immediately swatched a lot of shadows and ended up getting one from the PHP128.00 line (mono shadows with mirror) and got the shade 08.

the shade is lovely, don't you agree?

it comes with a mirror beneath the shadow itself

the applicator actually works good. the tip is made of sponge which I like.

it broke on my first use! :( you can just imagine how sad I was that day.

the remedy. placed it in a small jar-like container. will just store and use it like pigments.

Pros:
- Nice color (The line even has good colors to choose from.)
- Doesn't easily crease (alhough it still does) even without primer
- Good color pay-off
- Easy to blend
- Locally available
- Cheap (PHP 128.00)
- Good applicator
- Compact (good for travelling)

Cons:
- Packaging (I do appreciate the mirror but I just feel that it's too small to begin with so I don't think I will ever get to use it.)
- Easily breaks (Broke mine on my first usage T_T

Etude House Happy Tea Time Cleansing Cream in Milk Tea: Review

Hi guys! Sorry for the long wait. I know some of you have requested for me to do a review on my Etude House Happy Tea Time Cleansing Cream in Milk Tea. I finally have the time to do one so here it is!

Here's what Etude House has to say about the product: Cleansing cream's creamy texture contains Milk protein to remove dirt and makeup while keeping skin moisturized with the pleasant fragrance of tea.

And here's their directions on how to use it: Apply cream to all areas of the face. Massage thoroughly and wipe clean with cleansing tissues or rinse with warm water to remove excess.

Personally, I apply the cream all over my face and rinse it off with water. After which, I wash my face with my Happy Tea Time Cleansing Foam in Lemon Tea.

Pros:
- nice powdery smell
- cheap (PHP 198)
- locally available (bought mine in SM Makati Watsons)
- removes practically all kinds of makeup on your face, even the waterproof ones
- doesn't sting
- no allergic reactions
- skin feels soft after each use

Cons:
- cannot remove tints (or as I've experience, my Tony Moly Lip and Cheek Tint in Cherry Pink)
- tub container doesn't seem too hygienic, you'd have to buy a spatula
 

Now here's a video I previously filmed and I've included a short demo of me using this product. Enjoy! :)

Baviphat Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack: Review

Okay, so a follower in twitter asked me to update my blog and because I promised her I would, here's another post from me. I will try to update my blog as much as I can. The same goes for my youtube channel. I'm not sure as to how often I would be able to update but yeah, I'd do it as much and as soon as I can. Thank you to all my followers and subscribers who keeps on reading, watching and commenting on my posts/videos. :)

So today's review is about Baviphat Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack. Just from the name itself, you'd probably guess how this product is used. Yes, it is a face mask and yes, you sleep on it. Basically, you just have to clean your face, apply the mask and leave it on as you sleep overnight prior to rinsing it off. I wasn't able to use the product for long. I just had the chance to try it out with the 2 sample sachets I bought over at e-bay (BIGTOKYO). So here are my thoughts after finishing the samples.

Pros:
- scent (apple scent is love)
- consistency (easy to spread, not thick)
- prevents future breakouts
- leaves skin feeling soft
- easy to rinse off
- has samples so you can first try it out prior to buying its full sized version

Cons:
- not available locally

Would I repurchase? Probably if it's available locally. As of now, I don't have plans of purchasing its full size (and no plans to repurchase samples).

Klik Cracked Nail Polish: Review

I was walking around Landmark when I saw this local brand Klik carrying a whole line of crack nail polishes. Since it was pretty cheap, I decided to try it out. I only got one since I wasn't sure if the results would turn out to be okay. I got the one in purple.

 
(it dries up matte at first)

Here's how it actually looks after placing top coat

Pros:

- cheap (PHP 24.75)

- locally available

- has a lot of colors to choose from

- 2 packaging sizes to choose from

- good staying power with top coat

Cons:

- the cracks are not as sophisticated as I wanted them to be
- needs top coat

All in all, I think this is an okay product. Nothing special, though. If you want to create a nice nail art change without putting much effort (and budget) into creating it, then I highly recommend that you get one of these. Now would I re-purchase? Maybe.

Pure Beauty Super Brightening Eye Gel: Review

Hi everyone! I'm back with a review on a skin care product called Pure Beauty Super Brightening Eye Gel. I'm using the previous photo I took when I first bought it so the photos may look familiar to some of you. (I kind of threw away the product after I used it all up and forgot to take shots of it before doing so.)

please don't mind the lipstick on the photo. i won't talk about that product here.

Anyway, Pure Beauty is another Korean brand and I guess by now you'd know how pleased I am with Korean products. I decided to try this one out because I have really bad dark under eye circles + fine lines. Sadly, this product was not the solution I was looking for. And yes, I think this product is NOT WORTH IT.


Pros:
- good tube type packaging
- nice smell
- good consistency (not sticky at all)
- good under eye moisturizer
- affordable
- available in most Watsons branches
- 15ml would definitely last you long


Cons:
- did little, if not nothing for my dark circles and fine lines


I used this for quite a while (4-5 months). I apply it both during the day and night. I've used up the product and my friends claim it did something (little improvement) with my under eye problems but I'm not satisfied. Sadly, I won't be re-purchasing this product anymore. Ever since I've used this one up, I started using THEFACESHOP Wrinkle Stop Abyssine Eye Cream and the results are promising. I'll probably talk more about that product after using it some more.


NOTE: I'm pretty sure I took some shots of the tube and the product itself. Will try to find where I saved it and just update this post in the future. :)
