Moonshot Cream Paint Lightfit - First Impressions

I saw in youtube that this is one of Joankeem's favorite brand for lip products and I bought this when I went to HongKong for my UAA eposter presentation.

The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer - Review

I've always mentioned this in my previous post and I realised I hadn't made a review of this yet.  This is currently my holy grail concealer.  I'm currently using my 2nd tube and I've been using this for more than a year already.

Packaging	This comes in a plastic small tube with black twistable cover.   Doe foot applicator is attached to the cover of the tube.
Smell	None
Coverage	This has a thick liquid consistency, with light to medium coverage.  In the picture below, is a swatch of my Heroinemake Kissme Liquid Eyeliner in Black and here's how one layer and 2 layers can cover the eyeliner.
Application	Although it's medium coverage, it's buildable which I think gives you more control since there are times you don't want full coverage to look more natural. I like this when I apply this in my under eye since it's not too obvious that I applied concealer.    I also use this to conceal my pimple.  It's easy to blend also. This is pretty long lasting, can last for around less than 12 hours. I like also that this is lightweight. What I don't like about this product though is that as you're using it longer, the product tends to gent into the twistable portion of the tube so it can get a little messy and may create a mess with your other makeups.  So you have to wipe it off before you put it back into your cosmetic bag/kit.
Duration of use	> 1 year
Price	P288 from Meisatsuki
Pros	lightweight buildable blends easily affordable
Cons	Gets messy around the tube
Buy again?	Yes!
Recommend?	Definitely!
Rating	10/10

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.

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...

Nighttime Skincare Routine

I've been receiving requests for me to show my nighttime skincare routine.  I was really hesitant at first because I'm not doing anything special.  Even though I love korean makeup and a big fan of the kbeauty skincare routine, I don't do the 10 step skin care routine.  Well because I don't have all that money to buy the 10 products and 2nd usually especially during From schedule and Duty schedule I don't have the energy to do the 10 steps anymore.

So here's my simple skincare routine at least in my definition of simple

I got the trial kit version: Laneige Essetial Power Skin Refiner &  Laneige Essential Balancing Emulsion.  These both have  been part of my travel skin care kit since last year.  I only use it during my travels and since I use it in such short time and in different weathers, it took a while for me to make a review for this.

Packaging	Both come in plastic cylinder containing of 15 mL each.  It has a twistable cap and the container is small perfect for travelling.
Smell	This has the same smell as the sleeping mask, sweet floral scent.
Consistency	The Skin Refiner has a runny gel like runny consistency like the usual consistency of "essence".  The emulsion has a creamy consistency. Laneige Essential Balancing Emulsion Laneige Essential Power Skin Refiner

Duration of use	lost count
Pros	Very smooth application smells good non sticky feeling doesn't alter makeup
Cons	you'll feel something on your face
Recommend?	Yes
Rating	10/10

Innisfree Apple Seed Lip and Eye Makeup Remover Tissue - First Impressions

This is one of the stuffs I bought in HK when I went to attend the convention.  Actually I was not really planning to buy this since I'm very much happy with my Biore Makeup Remover Wipe.  But I was asked to add a few more items in what I bought so I can have a box of free face sheet masks.  And wouldn't want that???

Packaging	The product weighs 27g with 30 sheets.  The sheet is round like a cotton pad.

Battle of the Peripera Ink Bottles

In service is done!!! I can now go back to blogging again! Hope I can continue blogging... 

When I was looking at the Peripera Ink Lip tints, I thought the Airy Ink Velvet and the Ink velvet were promising, but I don't know which to choose since there were mixed reviews for both.  I was looking for a head to head comparison but I couldn't find it at that time yet, well maybe because that air ink velvet was still new at that time and people are just beginning to buy from that line.

So I thought of making a head to head comparison of the 3 Peripera Ink Lip tints that I have: Peripera Peri's Ink, Peripera Peri's Ink Velvet and Peripera Air Ink Velvet.

Peripera Peri's Ink Velvet - Review

I was so happy to see Club Clio to have a physical store in the Philippines already! The moment I saw it while I was walking in Trinoma, I couldn't stop myself that even if I was about to go home I have to check it out first.

I've been eyeing this product for sometime, but some part of me was preventing me from buying this online.... I have many lip products already, that I couldn't consume all of them, I was afraid that it will be like the Peri's original ink very drying on my lips and very difficult to remove, the color might not be ok for everyday use.

Unlike the other people, I actually first tried the Peri's Ink Airy Velvet and my expectations may be different in a little way.

Packaging	This has the similar ink bottle plastic packaging from the Peri's ink line.  This has a 'matte' bottle look.

Peripera Airy Ink Velvet - Review

I've been feeling really down lately. Things happening in the hospital could really affect the doctors. I don't think doctors could really fully separate their lives in the hospital and outside of it, since you get to care so much for your patient and you get affected with what happens to them.

Anyways, I'm writing this in the hopes at least I feel a little better, some light of positivity.

Packaging	This I think is the latest collection from the Peripera Ink line.  Peripera Airy Ink Velvet, people have been raving about it.  It has a similar ink bottle packaging, with a frosted plastic look, which I find really unique.

Eres Tu My Daily Armor Brightening - Complex Sun Cream - First Impressions

I've got to lessen the length of my titles, why do some cosmetics have long names?? Enough ranting...

I bought this sunscreen in my trip to Cebu.  The main reason was, I did not notice that my Sulwhasoo sample got emptied while I was in Cebu.  Good thing SM Cebu is very near our hotel, so I was able to go to Watson's to and buy me some cosmetics.

Packaging	I did not find a full size of this product, so I guess they only have this in sachet form.  This has a very bright pink colored sachet.

Clio Kill Brown Pen Liner - Review

It's been a year already since I've been using the Peripera Wholly Deep Liner Marker, and I need to change this already.  I love the Peripera Liner Marker it's just right, the length of the brush, the softness of the bristles and the lasting power of the eyeliner.

But I want to try other pen liners and Clio Kill Brown Pen Liner was one of the recommended brush liners when it was released years before.  I decided to try it since it was also cheaper then the Peripera one.

Packaging	This has a metallic brown plastic packaging. The tip is a brush tip.  But it fills like a felt tip pen than more of a brush type.  It's stiffer than how a brush tip feels like. Stiffer than the Etude House brush tip, stiffer then the Peripera brush liner.
