A Different Flavor

These are just some of the products that I love the original line that I ventured into trying out their different variant of the same line. Is there a difference in between the original 'flavor'?

Pony Memebox Shine Easy Glam 3 - Review

I was looking for a pink palette that's compact so I could use in my 'from' duty makeup.  I bought first the Etude House Berry Delicious Eyeshadow Palette although it was not bad, but there was still something missing in it, and somehow it was the 'one'.

So I started browsing through Shopee and I found this...

Packaging	The packaging of this is very luxurious-looking with gold chrome cover with plastic white base.  My first impression of this packaging was "wow"!!! But after using it for some time, I realized that it gets lots of fingerprints when you use it.  If you're an OC then this might irritate you.

Pre, Duty and From Makeup

I just suddenly thought of this idea as I was waiting inside the jeepney on my way home.  Funny such ideas just pop out of nowhere all of a sudden.  But I kind of like this crazy idea of mine so I'm writing it now.

For those in the non-medical field, let me explain first to you what are these duty posts are:

• Pre - This is the Pre-Duty post, we usually call it "Pre" in our institution for short.  This post is described as the day prior to your "duty".
• Duty - This post is the most popular post even to non-medical field.  This post is well-known as the "24-hour" shift, which I think is an understatement because since I was a clerk, there's no such thing as a 24-hours post.  You get to stay up to 30 hours inside the hospital, so when I always thought the "24" hour duty is a misnomer.
• From - This post is the day after your "duty" post, people usually in this post are characterised as being "haggard", "tired" etc.

Now that all these terms are briefly explained, let's proceed to main content of this blog post...

Pre

I can describe this makeup as the most elaborate of all, during this post, you're most fresh of all in my opinion.  You get to go home, and you get to wake up from your home as well.  This is also the day when you get to have complete control of your time, you won't be disturbed by hospital calls when you're not inside the hospital (ideally, but not always the case for a resident).

Etude House Berry Delicious Fantastic Color Eyes - Review

There was a time when I wanted pink eyeshadows, it's just that I was into browns lately that I thought I missed it.  I'm one of those who loves pink eyeshadows.  I was actually satisfied with the performance of Ever Bilena Pink Eyeshadow palette, it has the shade of pink that I love.  But I got fed up with its packaging.  It break so easily that I haven't even used it for a year.

So I searched online until I saw Etude House eyeshadow.  Etude House eyeshadows were one of my favorite eyeshadows when I was still a newbie in makeup.  They're just pigmented and perfect for my skin tone. 

Packaging	This is very compact and perfect for travelling.  In fact I use this when I'm 'from' duty, since I can't go home to do my makeup.  The palette is made of plastic and it's so cute!!!!

Heimish Dailism Eye Palette - Review

I've been eyeing this palette since last year, when I watched this being recommended by meejmuse.  But the price hold me back.  I'm used to wearing Philippine-made eyeshadow palettes because they work well and the size is just perfect to put  into your purse and perfect for travelling as well.

The trigger for me to buy this is when both my Ever Bilena Eyeshadow Palette and Fashion 21 Eyeshadow palette cases were broken.  And it just irritates me whenever I use the palette, it just falls apart.

Packaging	Let me just take a while to admire the box of this palette...

YSL Fusion Ink Cushion Foundation - Review

I saw this always in the top 5 of cushion foundation among beauty gurus but it was freaking expensive.  But I got this as a gift from my Dad, he said for me to buy what I want in Australia Duty Free of the remaining Aus$ we had when we went there.  So I got this to test it out if it's really worth it. Anyways I think this is my first ever luxury brand, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL).

Packaging	The cushion case is just so LUXURIOUS!!! It's in gold and black plastic cushion case, with mirror at the cover.
