Ever Bilena Kris Matte Matic Lipstick - First Impressions

I was actually holding myself from buying this since it was introduced in Kris's facebook.  I was fascinated that she agreed to collaborate with Ever Bilena.  Ever Bilena is one of the popular and actually nice quality local makeup.  It's affordable and what's great is that it can compete with international brands.

Packaging	The box is black with the name of the shade on the top.

Australia Beauty Haul - Overall Review

I went to Australia to present a research paper last Aug 2017.  It's been almost a year (11 months to be exact) since I went there.  I've purchased a number of cosmetic products there and now I think I've tried most of it already.  There were still others though that I haven't opened yet.

Rohto Lycee Contact Eyedrops - First Impressions

When I went to Nishiki Market, we went to this drugstore with 2 floors.  The ground floor have all the items cosmetics and some souvenir items.  And I went crazy since it was tax free.  And we were already in our last day shopping for pasalubong already.

Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Palette - First Impressions

I did not plan on buying this, since this is a luxury brand.  But when I travelled to San Francisco, I saw this 1 day before my last day in USA and it was on sale for 50% off at Macy's and even if I already bought a matte eyeshadow palette, I couldn't resist and bought this one also.

I was actually on the hunt for a matte eyeshadow palette when I went to USA, I was very specific, should be on the "brown" or neutral shade, and with matte colors.  Something I don't usually use.  I am a pink glittery eyeshadow type of person.

Packaging	I will begin by showing the box that it came with.

I bought this as part of my shopping therapy.  Hoping it can make me happy and feel better.  I got influenced by youtubers to buy this palette.  This is really on trend, because it's really affordable and you get to have a lot of shades.  Which was why it was really popular.

Packaging	I bought this online and for its price the packaging is actually really decent. I mean it looks sleek, and sealed properly.

Kose Fasio Cheek Color - Review

This is my first blog after what happened.  I couldn't write any blogs after what happened, it just hurts so much and I lost a lot of drive.  I was actually willing to give up everything already.  Kind of haggling with the heavens, exchanging all that I could just so he can get better and wake up.

Anyways, I woke up today and July welcomed me with a more positive feeling and suddenly I decided, I would make a blog today.

I bought this when I was in Japan in Don Quijote, this was not in their shelf of Cosme #1 where all the best-sellers were displayed there, which was really convenient for someone who's new into Japan cosmetics.  But as I swatched those displayed there, I just don't like their consistency.  I prefer powder blush but there's just no blush there in powder form.  So I just bought this instead.

Packaging	This is rectangular black semi-glossy plastic package.  What I like about the packaging is the clear rectangular window on the cover, which makes you see the shade of color inside.
