Result!!! Thumbs up for the coverage! ^_^

*Pros:
-Hygienic and travel-friendly packaging.
-Blends easily and does not have any pungent smell.
-Buildable coveragge, from light to medium. Caking is not a problem, I suggest to set it with powder.
-Doesn't have that much dewy finish and not very matte at the same time. Makes my skin look healthy actually.
-Has a yellow undertone that suits Asian very well.
-Matches my fair complexion very well. No worries, I noticed that it kinda oxidize on darker skin colors (tried it on some friends LOL).
-Did not caused me any breakouts.
-Good oil control.
-Decent staying power. Although I prefer to touch up at the middle of the day.
*Cons:
-Not available locally and price may vary.
*Overall,
I like this BB cream and I do recommend it.

Korea Cosmetics: CATALINA GEO Gel Eyeliner

"She straightens her hair, puts on her eyeliner, glosses her lips & takes one last look in the mirror, all for the boy who will never care."

Lol cheesy intro ayt? ^_^


WITH CATALINA GEO Gel Eyeliner and few coats of mascara

Some of you might already know how much I love to wear eyeliner.
I wear eyeliner almost every single day, casual hangout with fam or friends, at work and literally "just always". 
Eyeliner just really defines my eye shape and definitely makes me look more awake
 rather than my usual sick and pale-looking face. Aha, not gonna deny that.
That's why I love my liners a bunch. ^.~
I even made a video on how to put eyeliner on my YouTube channel long months ago.
It was indeed a pleasure when I received a sweet package from Korea Cosmetics including this liner I'm about to share with you dearies! It's a gel eyeliner from Catalina Geo. Here's how it looks like, see photos below.

  PRODUCT Description:

A water-proof gel eyeliner that presents a crisp and clear shape of the eye.
Available in No.1 SMOKY BLACK and NO.2 CHOCOLATE BROWN

  • Contents : 4g
  • Country of origin : Korea

MY OPINION:
♥♥♥LIKES♥♥♥
-Kudos, the box contains all details the consumers must know like direction, net weight, ingredients, expiration and manufacturer.
-Packaging: The gel liner comes in a clear plastic pot with a screw-on lid. While the lid houses a synthetic brush. Thus, making it somewhat like a "nail polish" packaging. Wise idea, no need to buy a liner brush in case you don't have one yet.
-Creamy and pigmented. You can also build up to your preferred intensity. Dries quick and matte.
-It stays on all day and doesn't smudge. 
-No noticeable pungent smell.
~~Cons~~
-Not available locally (Philippines). You’ll have to track it down online.
-Price not easily locateable
Other than that, I have no problems with this products so far.
*Little bit of sharing: 
-Let your liner dry and set with black eyeshadow on top. Staying power of this liner alone is great but you might need a little help if you have oily eyelids.
-It's a pain in the ass to remove if you don't own any makeup remover. I'm currently using Missha Deep Cleansing Oil.

OVERALL, I like this gel liner and I do recommend it my dearies! It work wonders! 
My current fave liner to use actually.
