Cover Girl Trio in Shimmering Sands Review



This trio is perfect palette for a basic, neutral eye look. The colors are smooth, easy to blend, have a decent pigmentation. This kit is a bit shimmery but not over-the-top. The best part of all it's DIRT cheap - it retails at $4USD. You can check this out on eBay Ph since it cost twice in the leading department store.

As for repurchasing, I don't think I will, I'm a sucker for matte when it comes to neutral-brown shades. For those who love shimmery eyeshadow this might be worth checking out.

Cover Girl Eyeshadow Quad Review


I totally forgot the shade of this quad but its leaning towards purple. The color is gorgeous in the package, however, it does NOT carry over to your eyelids.I don't really like this quad for a lot of reasons. First, you need to do a lot of packing of this eyeshadow to your lid for the color to show up. Second, you need a very good eye primer for this to make the color look alive. Lastly, its not long wearing. The color fades through out the day and will leave you with shimmery hint of purple.

I was disappointed with this quad because their not the same quality with the trio that I got - the shimmering sands. I would not recommend this to anyone who's on the look out for a decent wallet friendly makeup.







CoverGirl LashBlast Waterproof Mascara Review


By far the best drugstore mascara I've ever tried. This really plumps up lashes giving super volume while still having definition! Really holds a curl well! The brush is great, the product doesn't clump, and multiple coats make my eyelashes really pop. The color which I got is in very black, a true black color. You can build up this mascara to extreme, spidery lashes, or you can look very natural. No need for falsies. And the best thing about this it's waterproof although they have the non-waterproof ones.

Two downside for this product :
Availability - I'm not sure if all the leading department store carry Cover Girl products. I got
mine as "pasalubong" from the US. This retails around $7-9 USD.
Taking off - You definitely need an eye makeup remover for this one because it's a bit hard to take off with soap and water.

As for repurchasing ,yes I would buy again when it expires... I would definitely recommend this, it's worth checking out.

Cover Girl Smoothers Pressed Powder Review



If your skin feels "tight" or is prone to flaky patches and redness around the cheeks and nose, try this one... it has moisturizing formula. I'm using this powder on my dry days...

Pros: Moisturizing Formula ; Long-wearing
Cons: Expensive Retail Price in Leading Department Store; Availability
