Senka Perfect Whip Collagen In - First Impressions

This is I think the version of Shiseido Perfect Whip for those who have sensitive skin.  I cannot comment if it really is hypoallergenic since my skin is not that sensitive.  When I bought this I did not think it was for sensitive skin, I bought this for the pink tube actually.

Packaging	This has a pink plastic tube with white cover at the bottom.  Like the blue version, the plastic of this is soft and pliable so easy to squeeze the product out.

February 2019 Empties

I’ve been posting less makeup related blog posts.  I’ve been trying to use up the products I bought before before venturing on buying a new product.  This is my little way of helping out the environment, buy buying less new products and wait until the previous one is used up before opening a new one.

Love Liner Liquid Eyeliner

I have to admit, I bought this just solely for the cute packaging.  I got this from my trip in Japan.  I'm not familiar with this brand, but since there's sanrio and kuromi is in one of the colors, I couldn't resist. 

Packaging	As I said before, the packaging was the reason I bought this. See? Don't you just love the box????  It's so cute!!!  This is a great gift/pasalubong by the way. But I was really amazed when I removed the eyeliner from the box, as in my initial reaction was "WOW" The body itself is in color of rose gold chrome (is that a color?).  It looks soooo high end and luxurious!!! It's very elegant, as in when you bring this to let people see you're applying eyeliner, hindi ka mahihiya ialalabas mo to.  There's a ball inside which you can shake.  And the cap closes the product with a click, very high quality feeling as well. And I would like to focus on the body of the pen, the detail! This is a brush tip type of eyeliner
Smell	chemical scent but not overpowering
Consistency	Liquid
Swatch	Dark Brown
Application	The brush is soft, I like it's gentle on my eyelids.  The product also applies smoothly with one stroke only needed.  It's opaque as well. It's extremely waterproof.  The swatch in my hand lasted for 2 days with regular baths and washing of hands.   I like the shade of brown of this, because it's not too loud and not too light, just the right amount of "pop" when you go to work but not overpowering.
Duration of use	11 days
Pros	Easy to apply Very wearable shade Gentle brush on the eyelids waterproof
Cons	Hard to find (I don't know if it's limited edition)
Recommend?	Yes
Price	I forgot, sorry.  Bought from Japan, but I'm selling my extra here: Maiden Circuits
Rating	10/10

November 2018 Empties

These are the collective empties that I've accumulated.  Some were not really empty, but they've reached the 1 year limit I set for my makeup products.

Some random rant: I'm not liking the new algorithm of Facebook, wherein in order to be in the news feed of your friends, your post should have comments and shares and not just likes.

Colourpop Disney Designer Eyeshadow Palette - Review

I've always wanted to try Colourpop eyeshadows, because there were really great reviews about Colourpop eyeshadows in general.  But I always prevent myself from buying a palette because of the price.

But then I saw this on Youtube, and I was no longer able to stop myself with the justification that my Heimish Dailism Eye Palette has already reached 1 year and I already hit pan to several shadows already.

I'm a Disney fan, grew up with Disney and this collaboration really was the reason I was not able to prevent myself from buying this palette.

Packaging

I was really amazed when I received this, the box is just soooooo.... luxurious!  The front has the signatures of the disney princesses in gold lettering.  And at the back are the names of the shadows. Then when you open the box, you get this black, made of cardboard palette.  This has a magnetic lid also so you will hear a light click to maintain the lid closed.  The packaging is just so amazing!  The inner child in me just is so giddy right now.  The back fo the palette also contains the names of the shadows.

Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder - Review

This was very popular in the makeup community, late with the bandwagon.  In reality have to finish old makeup first before trying out a new one, so I can control my purchases of makeup stuffs.

After finishing the Savvy Mineral Loose Powder, here's now my new loose powder.

Packaging	This comes in big plastic tub with twistable orange cap.  It has a big puff also.  I don't know it this is an advantage or not?  I find the big tub to be too bulky and takes up a lot of space in my makeup bag.  I actually transferred the content to the Savvy Mineral Loose Powder case because I like the size of it.

L'oreal Lash Paradise vs Heroinemake Kissme Long & Curl Mascara

I've been using the Heroinemake Kissme Long & Curl Mascara and has been my holy grail mascara ever since I tried it.  I really stock up on this when I went to Japan.  

Then I recently tried this L'oreal Lash Paradise and I was really impressed with it that I thought it is holy grail material.  So I decided to do a battle with my Heroinemake Kiss Me Long & Curl mascara.

The moment I watched this from Tati, the following day, I looked for it in the Loreal counters.  However during that time, it was not yet available in the Philippines, even online.  So when I went to AUA this May, this was one of my "must-buy" makeup.

Packaging	The plastic tube is metallic rose pink with a twistable cap.  The length of this is 12.2 cm with 1.5 cm diameter.

Packaging	Plastic tube with metallic pink twistable cover.  This has the very similar package with Colourpop liquid lipstick. This contains 3.0 mL

Kose Lip Gel Magic - Review

I was supposed to write something about medicine-related post, but words couldn't seem to flow and I can't get my thoughts into words for some reason.

I've been conflicted lately, worrying about something again, then I realised, that I didn't do something wrong, it was an achievement, it was something positive and if a negative thing will stem out of it, it's beyond my control already. Then maybe it wasn't supposed to be in the first place.  As my consultant advised me, "Develop a strong piece of mind and always stay on the right side."

Anyways, let's get on with this...

Packaging	Comes in a small plastic white tube with silver chrome twistable cap.

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.
