Maybelline Makeup Remover - Lip & Eye

I bought my new HG mascara but it is so stubborn to remove! My EH Lip and Eye Makeup Remover is not working much on it. I asked the Maybelline sales attendant if there Eye & Lip Makeup Remover works on their waterproof mascara and she said yes! I just got the small bottle since I wanna road test it first if it works for me.

Expert Tip

Shake well before use. Soak a cotton pad with the lotion and apply on your eyes or lips.

Same with EH Lip & Eye Makeup Remover, this too comes in a twist-off cap. The opening is just the right size just like any toner. This comes in a plastic bottle too so no worries that it would break easily if I drop it.

This has a mild scent like a baby oil. This makeup remover has two distinct layers too, the water and the oil part. I have to shake this well before using so that they blend together. It is quite easy to blend it together once shaken up well. This isn’t greasy or oil but it leaves a small amount of film over my eyelids. This residue could be remove simply but any toner or soapy water.

Just like my old EH Lip & Eye Makeup Remover I have to soak my eyelids with the product to effectively remove the waterproof mascara. Soaking up my eyelids helps it loosen the stubborn mascara. I think I have to soak it for over 3 minutes and move the cotton pad in a left to right & up and down motion for 2 minutes to remove all the mascara.

I love that this doesn’t sting or gives me a blurry vision. I really push the cotton pads on my eyelashes to remove all the stubborn waterproof mascara and I never experience any redness or irritation.

I have no problems removing MAC Girl Boy Brow Set Gel and my MAC Rebel lipstick. MAC Rebel lipstick sometimes leaves a stubborn stain that even after brushing my teeth there’s still stains left. So I use this one. I love that this instantly removes the stains and leave my lips moisturize, soft and smooth. I then wash my face with soapy water (which also removes the residue from the product all over my eyes and also on my lips). I love that it rinses off easily.

I usually broke out on eyebrows happily I never broke out with this one even though it has oil in it which is known as a comedogenic product. Breaking out near my eyes is really painful and embarrassing! :D

Final Thoughts

Good thing that I got the smaller bottle first. I don’t think I’ll repurchase this if I ran out of makeup remover. I want to try something that really removes waterproof mascara in a breeze since I bought this because of my waterproof mascara. It pays that you really try the product first before buying the full size. All in all still this makeup remover will not put to waste since I just have to be patient with it until I finished up the entire content. 

HG Red Lipstick: MAC Ruby Woo

A true cult favorite retro red. Currently my HG red lipstick ;)

According to MAC…

Ruby Woo is very matte vivid blue red

When I first saw this in person (my own tube) I was a little disappointed that it looks like a normal red color common in drugstore brands. I was pinning for a bluish retro red straight from the tube but I was wrong.

When I tried it, oh for crying out loud! It is the nicest red I ever tried. It looks like the lips of retro girls. Since I’m a fan of retro stuff this is definitely in my alley. I think this shade would look good to everyone! It would suit light to dark tones. I also noticed that this makes my lips look whiter or is it my new toothpaste? :P Morena girls don’t need to worry if this would suit them even this has strong blue tones. It actually looks great!!! This doesn’t make me look old but more sophisticated and classier. Oh I love it to bits!

When I first tried it, I didn’t prep my lips at all. My lips are in a normal state and the lipstick actually glides well with tiny bit dragging. Looking at my lips on the mirror it looks more like pin-up red I’m rooting for. I love the matte texture since I don’t like shiny red lips. I usually wear my favorite Fire & Ice matte by blotting excess moisture. ;)

I love that this is very pigmented and opaque. One swipe and you get nice red lips and two or more gives a bolder look. Not that one swipe when get any attention but it is wearable. Sometimes I just pat it several times to give a nice tint on my lips then apply my Nivea Strawberry balm for moisture. I rarely apply anything on my lips prior to application of this lipstick since I want its color to be what it is!

This makes my lips feel a little drier than usual so it’s a big con but I don’t know why my lips lately is in a good shape so I rarely reach for lipbalms.

I only wore this at night or sometimes late in the afternoon since I find this too bold in the morning like I’m going to party or I’m so sosy! Hahaha! 

I love that I don’t need to wear blush or even eye makeup since this makes my face brighter and prettier! :D I just groom my brows, apply gel liner to upper lash line and mascara and I’m good to go. A flawless base too is a must since redness in the skin may not look good with this bold red lips.

This may look garish if not applied properly. I always make sure to apply a red lip liner to outline my lips and avoid the lipstick to go over the outline. It doesn’t look really nice if the lipstick isn’t even or even perfect. :P  

Staying power is good! Just don’t eat!!! This would be remove totally if you eat anything even from drinking. So in my case, I make sure to remove all traces of lipstick when I noticed that it is already fading since patchy lipstick doesn’t really look nice. I read that some girls complain that this settles on the outer outline of the lips after eating. My answer to that is to wipe off the excess lipstick on the outline of my lips :D it wasn’t remove on the outline not because it settles there but it is the remaining lipstick left after eating.

What I Like About It

Perfect matte retro red
Pigmented and opaque

What I Don’t Like About It
Bleeds if I don’t apply carefully or when I don’t use lip liner
Could be drying at times

Final Thought

I love this color to bits and I would definitely repurchase if I finish this tube! Even though this is a little bit drying I still reach for it whenever I needed a bold, powerful lipstick! MAC’s range of red colors is really to die for! My next target would be Russian Red and Lady Danger. 

Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer

Long time no blog! J I’ve been busy with my new work. Lo and behold, I got this primer from my mail a few weeks ago. I ordered it from a Korea based Filipina selling Korean stuffs. It was discounted for about 30%! Woot!

I don’t usually wear eye shadow since I’m a lipstick/ blush girl. I like to wear super bright lippies and wear it with a subtle blush or sometimes my shocking NARS Exhibit A blush. :D but then, I’ve been wanting use my eye shadow palettes since they are already piled up. I only have drugstore brands for my eye shadow palettes so I really think that I definitely need a primer. I want to buy Artdeco eye primer but since I’m not yet a pro I could use something like this first and practice my way! Now enough of the blabbing! :D time for the review!!

What the company says about their product

I’m so excited to use this! So, the other week I applied it first in a patting motion on my eyelids let it dry for a while. I didn’t use any base eye shadow and a translucent powder over my eye shadow anymore so I could really see how long it would stay on my lids. It actually stays on my lids for about 8 hours with minimal creasing. :)

With flash

This actually made my eye shadow looked more intense and vibrant. Look at this swatch on my inner forearm. :) See how lively and strong that color is?

This is my perfect match for my drugstore eye shadow. Though there are times that I want my eye shadow to be just sheer as it is I only applied this primer with a very a little amount, thru this way I won’t get a very intense outcome but it would only avoid creasing and will make my eye shadow stay put. 

Since I don’t wear eye shadow every day, I use this to lengthen the staying power of my eye liner San San Eyeliner Pen. I love that it didn’t in any way affect the application or look of my eyeliner, still the same color. Though my San San eyeliner is water resistant it sometimes smears on, through this primer I have no worries even though I walked under the rain.

I tried applying it on my brows too before applying my In2it brow powder and it did last longer!

My eye makeup doesn't come off until I have to take it off. :) I have no problems in removing this product since I also use my Etude House Lip & Eye Makeup remover. They work well together! :)

The packaging is a con!! :( similar to the old UDPP bottle.

Here is the ingredient list for girls with sensitive eyes

What I Like About It

·         Survives my super oily eyelids

·         Makes my sheer eye shadow more intense and vibrant

·         Makes my eye makeup lasts longer (eyeliner and brow powder)

·         Can be used as a primer for brow powders too

·         Spreads easily and doesn’t create dry patches

·         Not sticky and dries fast

·         Lesser fallout for my powdery eye shadows

·         I only use a tiny amount and I’m all set!

·         Transparent packaging allowing you to check how much product is left

·         No skin or eye irritation experienced

·         Locally available and affordable at Php298

What I Don’t Like About It

·         The bottle is like the old UDPP which will be hard to use once it is almost empty

Final Thought

Not only that it allows me to apply my eye shadow makeup more beautiful it helps my makeup stay as it is all day. It survives that heat, sweat and humidity that I always encounter on my way to work. This is a budge proof eye shadow. La la la, this is love.

Jelly Shoes

So, I've been addicted to jelly shoes ever since I laid my eyes on the Patchuli Jelly Wedge from Melissa... But the price is quite steep for me.

If you are not familiar with it here are some of the pictures from their Singapore FB. :)

Lovely right? :) I also love this new design... It is called V Becks.. Hmm.. Reminds me of Posh spice :D

I super duper love it that I wanna buy it right away! (I have this terrible addiction with wedges) but then when I learned that it costs SGD170 which is costs around P5000.... I wanna cry! :)))

But then around the first week of May, ASIANVOGUE posted this picture on their wall. And I was... No No No... This can't be true!!!

Sweet huh! And it only costs P1600+. How nice is that??? I'm contemplating on which color to get.. I like the black one more.. But I already have lots of black shoes... What do you think?


And oh! There's an ongoing giveaway on their site. Check it out before it ends, join now! :)
