Is it worth the hype? Milani's Power lip in no. 07 Mango Tango

Hello everyone!


So today, let me share with you my current favorite lip product for couple of weeks now.
It's been out in the market for a while already!
This drugstore product is actually quite popular throughout the female network and 
raved by famous youtube gurus.

Say hi to Milani's Power Lip Gloss Stain!
I picked up no. 07 Mango Tango from the nearest Walmart from my place.


The packaging is really really handy.
I love the twist packaging type and it comes with brush applicator!
No more spills and bulky packaging. 

And here's how it looks like on my lips.
It's a beautiful coral lip stain.


WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT?
-I love the how travel friendly it is. It does not look fancy at all but still okay.
-It does not dry the lips. Amazing how they infused a lip stain and a lip gloss together yet the color
pay off is really opaque and does not come off easily.
-I love everything about it. It's pigmented, stains evenly on my lips and it does not dry it.
I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!

WHAT I HATE ABOUT IT?
-Nothing really but I would appreciate a better or a fancier packaging. But anyway for the
price of more or less $6.00, I could not really complain right?

Overall, I love it and I'd love to grab other shades called Macaroon and Red control.
So, is it worth the hype? YEAH!
Grab yours now. I bet you're gonna love it too.

Ardell Lashes in no. 110 Black

Who does not dream of having natural long eye lashes?
Well, I am one of those who wants to own long volumized lashes!
It just frames up the whole eye look.

Lately, I have been using Ardell's no. 110 often.
It's one of those "natural crisscrossed" false lashes.
With proper application, it looks fancy without looking overdone and seems to be natural.


Here are my photos wearing Ardell's no. 110.

I got mine from:

I am so much in love with it!
It does not feel heavy at all.
The transparent band helps to look more natural and
is not pokey at all.
Holds up curls and is reuseable.

I just love this lashes all the way!
You must try it!

Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express Mascara Review


Hi! Here's a short review of the mascara I just tried couple of months ago.
It's called Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express Mascara.
I was loyal to my Maybelline Falsies mascara not until I saw the cousin of my husband
having this beautiful lashes which actually looks like she's wearing false eyelashes already.
And so when I asked her she introduced this to me.
And of course I have to have this.

Packaging looks like this.

And the brush is fat and straight.
I can say that I like falsies better since it's curved and hugs my lashes better.

This mascara is really good for volumizing and fair enough as far as lengthening my lashes.
It did not come up as good as my husband's cousins lashes but the effect was okay though for 
a mascara priced around six to eight bucks, depends where you get yours.

It was nice to try a different mascara from the brand I love.
 I just love Maybelline, it's really a good drugstore brand specially there mascaras.
I don't want to spend on mascaras so much not unless they're on sale since you gotta
replace them every three months.

How about you? I have heard about L'Oreals mascaras.
Any recommendations?

Thank you!

L'Oreal Infallible Lipcolour in no. 750 Garnet

Lately I have been very much obsessed with lip stains, tints, lacquer, just anything that last extra longer on the lips aside from the typical creamy lipsticks which offers lip color for few hours and then gone.
This post are for those who are lazy to re-apply lip color or just really lacking time to do any touch ups.
This product has been actually out in the market for a long time already.
L'Oreal Infallible Lipcolour in no. 750 Garnet on me.

Product packaging looks like this. It comes with the lip color and the lip balm.



On my lips

Emoticon WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT?


* Lasts even after eating. Stays put the whole day.
*I like the pop of color it gives on my face.
*I AM IN LOVE WITH THE LIP BALM!
*Good price for less than $10!


*It sometimes dry my lips.


*I recommend to exfoliate and scrub lips first then moisturize overnight prior to application the next day for smoother application.
*Apply the lip color and let it set for a couple of minutes before applying the lip balm over so it wouldn't drag the lip color.

Over all I like it. I just hope they have more shades to choose from because most of the selection are plumy and red.
I have heard of the covergirl lip stain which is like this but I have not tried it though.

Let me know if any of you have tried either one of them and leave a comment below on which you think is better or what. Thank you! :)

Too faced: Better than sex mascara

One day I had this Filipina customer who was looking for this particular mascara, 
who by the way is now my good friend. (Hi Ate Rhea!)

She told me she likes it so much and actually wanted a full size of it.
 I introduced her to other brands but she still wanted this one from Too Faced.
And so I thought this must be really something good.
I searched for it when I got home and purchased one the following day.

Well the name seems to be  like those of  Nars blushes right? lmao!
The packaging is decent, mix of fancy typical too faced product with hint of professionalism not over whelming cuteness if I would be asked.
The box says all the detail you might wanna know.
It claims to be a volumizing and lengthening mascara.



The spoolie is an hour glass shaped brush.

Everything in the packaging is pretty much self explanatory.
Let me just show you the effect it gave on my lashes.
Here's how it looks like on my upper lashes alone.

In comparison, left with the Better than sex mascara 
and right eye without any mascara on and just my bare lashes.

Below is with the mascara on bottom  lashes.

Ang again in comparison with my natural lashes.





Emoticon WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT?



* Absolutely volumizes my lashes. No doubt on that.
*It's really black.
* It lengthens without really clumping specially towards the end of the lashes.
*Looks like false eye lashes already.
*Comes in a travel size in a very inexpensive value of just $10.00 only.


*Bears down my lashes big time.


*Curl first prior to application. No matter how I tried to curl it after application even just one coat, it does not really curl at all.
*Best to use with lashes even the natural thin looking ones would look fabulous!

Overall, I love it given that I would curl it first prior to application.
What do you think about it? Seems like a good deal for $10.00 right?

Review: L'Oreal Colour Riche in no. 170 Cotton Pink

Looking for a good moisturizing lippie?
Well I just happen to find one!

I picked up a nice baby pink color. Something cute but still looks natural on lips.
Like a shade that would not wash off my face leaving a pale look. No it doesn't do that.
Without further ado, here it is. L'Oreal Colour Riche in no. 170 Cotton Pink 
Kindly excuse my thumb marks by the way.



'
 What I think about it?  
-I like that it contains Jojoba butter which helps to keep the lips soft and moisturized.
-I love the color, it's a baby pink shade which I'm into as of the moment.
-Inexpensive, I even got mine for cheaper price because of sale. $2.99 only!
-It glides on smoothly and stays for decent number of hours.
-It sort of emphasizes dry lips though so better exfoliate and moisturize prior to application.
-It glides on easily and feels very light.

Have you ever tried this? Let me know your thoughts too!

Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush in Honey Moon

Baked blushes are eye candies.
How do you say no to a beautiful blush that looks like this. *Aw*

However, I was disappointed when I get to swatch it.
It appears as a highlighter than a blush actually.
Anyway, it's nice that I get to try one hard candy product.
And I guess I'm done lol.

I'll keep it for a while but not really a fan of it though.
It was less than five bucks at walmart.

Swatch at the back of my hand. You can hardly see right?


Photos without any editing wearing the blush on different lighting. 



So that's just a quick post of my new baked blush, I mean highlighter.
I should have picked up the doll pink (not sure of the name) instead!
What do you think? Hmm..
