My EYE Products

Products I often use... Just sharing my current favorites...

Undereye Concealer

Nyx Concealer in a Jar in "Light", this concealer really covers up my undereye circles. It goes on smooth and a little goes a long way. It doesn't melt and it doesn't cake.

Eye Primer

Too Faced Eye Shadow Insurance, the best primer I ever tried. It really gives your eyeshadow the

 full-coverage insurance policy against all fading creasing melting blurring oil-slicked and hard-to-blend eye shadow accidents. As the product claims.

Eyeshadow Base

MAC paint pot in Painterly, I'm so loving this. I love the shade, its matte, and it keeps my oily eyelids at bay.

Eyeshadow

NYX single eyeshadow in Highlight, I love using this shade on my entire eyelid, on top of my MAC Paint Pot in Painterly. It really opens my eyes and gives me that fresh look without going over the top.

Eyelash Curler

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler, the "best" eyelash curler for me. Gives me the sexiest curl and opens up my eyes. I really get my moneys worth for this item.

Pencil Eyeliner

Revlon Colorstay Pencil Eyeliner in Brown, Smudge-proof and staying power is superb. I could not ask for a better pencil eyeliner.

Liquid Eyeliner

Bourjois Liner Clubbing Liquid Eyeliner in Absolute Black, gives me that precise line in a striking effect of black. I love the supple brush its so easy to control. It's 100% tear and sweat proof.

Eyebrow Powder

Kate by Kanebo in Designing Eyebrows in EX-5(Darkest Shade), I love this kit because of the 3 shades, for eyebrows, highlight, and nose contour. Very portable and shades are long lasting.

 Mascara

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Blasting  Waterproof Mascara in Very Black, I'm so over this mascara. It gives me volume,thickness, length, gives me that look of having falsies.

Eyeshadow Collection

My small collection :

Favourite Top to Bottom

MAC Paint Pot in Painterly – the most abuse one

Shiseido Maquilage in RD 742 (purple quad) – use when feeling glamorous

Guerlain Quad in Nacre 200 (light - pink,blue,green,yellow) – use when feeling cute

Nyx Trio in Nude/Satin Taupe/Dark Brown – use when feeling just to belong

Cover Girl Trio in Shimmering Sands – use when wanting to look fresh

Wild and Crazy in Mist Over Me – use as highlighter for inner corner of the eyes

Fasio Duo – (silver and violet) great for night out; metallic duos

Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Trio in Aquamarine – haven't tested this one yet

Maybelline Dream Mousse Eye Shadow in Ivory Illusion – use as base

Love Alpha – cream eye shadow; use as base sometimes

Cover Girl Quad in light purple shade (forgot the shade) – keep forgetting this one

With eyeshadows, I'm not very particular about the brand. I'm just taking into consideration the following items before I buy it. First if it's pigmented, if it's blendable, if it's long wearing, and of course the price. If everything fits then any eyeshadow brand will do.

Face Primers

My small collection of primers...

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - keep forgetting to use this one :-(
Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel - the most abuse one
Maybelline Whitestay UV Base SPF 35 in Lavender - for brightening effect and acts as SPF
Cosmedicine Primary Care SPF 20 - when I'm feeling oily and need to skip my SPF

Lip and Cheek Stain Collection

My Collection :

Benetint by BeneFit

Bourjois Rouge Hi-tech ( I forgot the shade)

Mistine Cindy

I love the natural makeup look and this tint is great for that. I used it on my lips for a natural rosy lip look and top it of with lip balm or gloss. It makes me look alive. I also use it as a cheek stain and it gives me a very nice natural flushed look, like the kind you get after a brisk walk or run.

Among the three tints I own, my favourite would be Benetint by BeneFit. I love this product because it's extremely long lasting and natural looking. It's a bit pricey for a tint but this stuff will last you a very long time. A little goes a long way with this.

Cheaper alternatives worth trying out:

Nichido Cheek Stain - P128.00 + (peso) – (available in SM and other leading department stores)

Mistine Cindy Face and Lip Tint - P150.00 + (peso) – ( available in SM and other leading department stores)

"My collection" (NARS BLUSH) - ORGASM

My first NARS blush. I got this one because it’s the highly rave blush ever. Hmmm…I think I got orgasmic experienced using this on. ;-) Just Kidding… I really like this shade, a peachy-pink shade with shimmer, very classic. It matches my natural flush perfectly and gives me a nice glow. I think this shade is universally flattering and completely lovely because you can make it work for you.

The only downside for this blush is that I need to pack on the color to my cheeks with 2-3 swipes to get the effect that I want. FYI I’m a NC25 in MAC. Although I’ve been using this for over a year now, it still looks untouched. For the value, I guess you’ll get your moneys worth for this blush since the shade never gets out of season.

Pros: Highly Pigmented

Cons: Expensive ; Retails around $25 ; The color does not show up much

"My collection" (NARS BLUSH) - TORRID Review

This is love. All NARS' blushes are love. This is my third NARS blush that I own and my first blush in Coral Shade with shimmer. If I’m rich I’m definitely going to collect all the NARS blush shades and just stare at it. ;-) Kidding aside, when using this blush you need to apply a light hand because the blush is very pigmented. This shade is absolutely gorgeous and can suit any skin tone. You just need to build it up or diffuse it whatever you like. All in all, I love how it warms up my whole face and completes my look.


Pros: Highly Pigmented
Cons: Expensive, Retails around $25

My blush or blushes ;-)

Just looking at my growing blush collection gives me a lift. ;-) It’s not much but I’m pretty happy with it.

"My collection" (NARS BLUSH) - SIN Review

Love! Love! Love! This blush is so beautiful. Gives a very sophisticated flush and is perfect for evening. I get the most gorgeous berry plum shade with gold shimmer that looks like my natural flush. It really defines the cheekbones. The shimmer is very subtle. You definitely need to use a light hand or apply it with a stippling brush because this blush is very pigmented! So far, this is my favourite blush of all my collection.

Pros: Highly pigmented Blush
Cons: Expensive, Retails around $25
