Act of Sweetness...

Hey everyone!


I just wanted to share my latest Nike shoes. The hubby bought this when I was busy shopping for make-ups at the beauty department of Market!Market! mall in Fort Bonifacio. I didn't know he returned back to the Sports Warehouse store and bought this pair for me. My hubby knows me well. If I say I will buy the item next time around, it will mean sleepless nights for me. So, the hubby bought it. Sweet!







Much love,

HAUL: COLOUR STUDIO EYE SHADOWS BY ELIANTO

Last weekend, we went to Megamall again to re-align my eye glasses. As always, I took the chance of passing by at Watsons Beauty. I've checked again Wet 'n Wild station and looked for other Silk Finish Lipstick shades but my choices which are the pink/mauve colors weren't available. A lot of shades were out of stock actually. I thought I could go home without any make-up purchases but I was wrong because I saw the Elianto with their Php50 sale. I immediately checked what's on sale. Heck, Php50?!? Are they kidding? Huh they're not!

Well, Php50 for a very few selected items only. It includes the make-up brushes, make-up refill palettes, and single eye shadows. Temptation got into me. You can't blame me... Php50 (approx.US$1.13)?!? I drooled. 

Meet my new babies - Colours Studio by Elianto.
 This is my first eye shadow purchase from Elianto. Finally, the time to try this make-up happened that day. Thank you sa Sale hehehe.

Unboxing my single eye shadows:

The Vibrant Shadow is a pure matte eye shadow.

The Pearl Shine Shadow is a matte eye shadow with shining gold pearls when applied.

Pearl Shine Shadow in 05 Celadon Green

Time to swatch!
Taken with natural light by the window; no camera flash.
Left to Right: Young Lemon, Coral Pink, Celadon Green, Nile Green.

Taken indoor; with camera flash.

What I like:
o The price was such a steal! The original price was Php149 (aprrox.US$3.36) each marked down to Php50 (US$1.13) only.
o The Pearl Shine Shadows are much pigmented. One swipe and you're good to go.
o I find the matte ones a bit chalky.

What I don't like:
o The Vibrant Shadows aren't that pigmented; both the 07 Coral Pink & 19 Young Lemon. It took me 2-3 swipes before it reveals the true color.

Verdict: 
For the dirty cheap price of Php50, I can't think of anything to complain hehehe. The Vibrant Shadow in 07 Coral Pink can also be used as blusher coz it is matte. Yey!

I also bought an Elianto 4-colors refill palette for only Php50 (this was originally priced at Php109). There's also a 6-color refill palette for Php80 only but I chose by 4's coz the 4 eye shadows above are the just the colors that I like and I think is wearable at daytime. 

Time to put my single pots to the palette.
 
 
Finished. Yey! Now this is another palette in addition to my growing make-up collection. 

I am so excited to do a make-up tutorial using my new babies - Elianto. Lols! The colors are so cool and lovely noh?

Smile always and stay tuned.

PRODUCT REVIEW: ETUDE HOUSE SINGLE MATTE EYE SHADOWS

Hey yah beauties! Today's post is still a part of the purchase of my first eureka moment of 2011. Yes, though it's just a mini-haul but those little items were such a big things for a make-up addict like me. Yes, I am embracing much my make-up addiction. It's just so nice being a girl noh?

Etude House have already a station inside the SM Megamall Dept. Store but the items aren't complete. You can still go directly to their boutique for their complete products at the  Upper Ground Floor Megamall Bldg A near the old site of Toy Kingdom. I bought two (2) new single eye shadows from Etude House (it's a Korean brand of cosmetics). This is my second purchase of Etude House products. My first purchase was the BB Magic Cream which I still have half-way amount of the bottle to use. Well, I don't use it everyday. 

Meet my new Etude House Matte Eye Shadows:

 
 (Please click photo to enlarge)
The labels are written down in Korean so I really don't know what the color identification of these but there is written down as no. "8" (left item) and "WH701" (right). I think those are the codes to identify the item's shade. Agree?

Here's a closer look of the packaging:
 
 
Isn't it cute? The details are very girly. The carvings and the design are love! See that design inside? Oh so cute noh?

The swatch of these two (2) shades:
 
Left: Very Pale Light Blue
Right: White

What I like:
o I find it cheap for a price of Php148 each.
o Cute packaging. It added worth to the price tag.
o When they say matte; it's really pure matte color without any sparkles or shimmers on it.
o Very smooth to glide onto the lids.
o Very fine texture.

What I don't like:
o Not that pigmented. Well, let me say this, the pale light blue color is actually very pale that's why I have to pick the color 3-times so it can be obvious that it is a pale light blue. I have no problem with the white though.
o I don't understand what has written at the back of their label, lols!

Verdict: 
Honestly, the pigmentation doesn't really bother me that much. I love the eye shadows! I am happy to find these matte eye shadows because the fact that I have so many shimmery eye shadows in my vanity table, I am ashamed to say that I owned very, very few pure mattes. Yes, I do have other mattes but with shimmers on it. 

 
 

I am going to use these either as Base color or on top of any bases. Then, if you want bright make-ups, these are perfect. I can use the pale light blue for inner corners application and tear ducts area. The white is of course for highlighting the brow bone, tear duct area or the whole eye lids for a smooth application of eye shadows on top of it. I think I should make a tutorial on how to use these shadows if given a chance next week.

I still have other product reviews that are scheduled for entry. Until next post beauties!

Smile always and stay tuned.

SO SEXY IN WET 'n WILD's CHERRY FROST...

This post is a continuation of my first eureka moment in 2011. I've already posted one of my Wet 'n Wild lipsticks on my last entry, please click here. As promised, I've already swatch the other lipstick, 514A in Cherry Frost. Are you excited to see it? Then, just continue reading.

 
 So perfect for my lipstick's label...

...Wet 'n Wild 514A Cherry Frost

In actual, this lipstick has very tiny gold sparkles, very very tiny sparkles. Well, just like the 521A Fuchsia in Blue Pearl, it has also very tiny blue sparkles. Moving on, those tiny gold sparkles are love, love, love. It tones down the red from flaming hehehe.

In my lips is the swatch of 514A Cherry Frost.
Please click here for the product's review.

Do you know that I fell in love with this lipstick the moment I swatch this on? This is now my favorite from all the lippies I got. This is my first ever red lipstick. Yes, you've read it right. Honestly, when I picked this red lipstick together with the Fuchsia, my thinking is just to own one and of course, to tried wearing it. Heck, it's just only P99 hehehe.

 

I've been wearing this for 3 days straight every time we head out. It adds a lot of confidence in me. With this red lipstick on, I think I look like I'm a woman with authority. I absolutely love it! With my black hair, I can say also that the shade really suits me. I feel so SEXY hahaha!

 
What I like about my latest Wet 'n Wild lipstick, I can also wear it alone with just my face powder on. A look just as simple as my photo above. My face looks so vibrant!

I can't wait to buy the other shades of this lipstick. Keep posted for my next make-up tut.

PRODUCT REVIEW: I'VE GOT WET 'N WILD!

Every time I go to any SM Malls, I have no reason not to pass by at Watsons; both in the mall and in the department store. Last week was my first eureka moment for this 2011 and I've bought a lot of toiletries for our use from our head down to our toes, lols! Of course, make-ups were also in the list that day. I've bought some lipstick and matte single eye shadows. I don't have much matte shadows; I only have few. I have a lot of shimmery shadows kasi.

The lipsticks I bought from Wet 'n Wild.
I got Silk Finish Lipsticks in 514A (Cherry Frost) & 521A (Fucshia with Blue Pearl)

During my make-up hunt that day, I was happy to see the Wet 'n Wild (it was locally available last quarter of 2010). I've heard some nice reviews of this product and wanted to give it a try. I noticed that it's the only make-up display station that has no SA attending to customers. Maybe the SA was in break during that time or whatever. I saw the product display in a mess, lols! I mean, the customers come and go after some testing that made some items not returned in their right places. So, I had much time looking and testing the products without minding that an annoying SA will follow and trace every item I touch, if you know what I mean hehehe. They normally do that hehehe.  

The price tags are a lot the same with NYX Cosmetics but Wet 'n Wild are obviously way cheaper. From what I remember, mostly price starts at P299 and up. But I was surprised to see a price tag of P99.00 for a tube of lipstick. Yes, very cheap, right? Funny me coz that time I was looking for the designated Wet 'n Wild SA but unfortunately she wasn't in. I wanted to ask her why that lipstick was cheap compared to the other Wet 'n Wild lipstick which costs range starting at P299.00. Anyway, I grabbed two (2) lipsticks to give this brand a try.

521A (Fucshia with Blue Pearl)
See that tiny blue sparkles?


In my lips is the swatch of 521A.
Note that before I apply the lipstick, I lined my lips using a fucshia pink lip liner for defined full lips. I applied the lipstick on my upper lip then blot it with my lower lip. Then, I applied it again and re-blot.

What I like:
o Very cheap for P99.00 per tube.
o Semi-matte but with satin finish.
o Light-weight feel.
o Pigmented.
o Do not set in lines of my lips.

What I don't like:
o The packaging looks cheap (it justify the price, right? lols!).
o I have to pull the cap very slowly so it won't touch the lipstick or else... messy.
o It looks like the plastic tube is not durable for pulling up and down of lipstick.
o 1/2 inch of the lipstick is peeking so you can see it since it has a transparent cap. At first, I thought I just need to pull it down but I was wrong hehehe. Sagad na pala yun.

See? It's peeking!


Verdict:
If I feel skipping eye shadows and foundation on my face, I can wear this alone. This is much cheaper than my NYX round lipstick which costs Php 160.00 from online reseller. I will buy the other shade of lipstick, too and I will try their eye shadows. 


 
I love the color! 

We went out yesterday to go back to the optical for the adjustment of my eyeglass pad coz it's not balanced. I was excited in wearing my eyeglass so I used my turquoise eye shadow and turquoise liquid eye liner to give my eyes a lively look. I know it looked loud and harsh. I really made it that way coz I know that my eyeglasses can soft it down. I just experimented so matching it with my new Wet 'n Wild lipstick was even more fun.

Next time, I'll swatch the 514A (Cherry Frost) so watch out for it. Until my next post beauties.

Smile always and stay tuned.

NIKE Zoom Courtside Force X & NIKE Air Training Team Backpack

I and hubby were failed again. We were failed not to buy NIKE stuffs until December comes. I know, this is a serious addiction but if this is just the way to help us de-stress and would bring us happiness and satisfaction, why should we stop from it? We are harmless and we don't rob anybody nor swindle anybody to feed our addiction hehehe.

As I posted from my previous posts, we went to a 3-Day Nike & Adidas Clearance Sale in Mega Trade Hall (Megamall) yesterday. We cancelled our out-of-town trip due to this "shouldn't-be-missed" Clearance Sale and also because my hubby had attended his Uncle's funeral today.

Anyway, our supposed PhP 5,000 budget for the shopping has exceeded to PhP 5,500 but its okay rather than going home with doubts and heart ache, lols! We only had a few pieces believe me. Here are the pieces we hoarded from Nike.
