REVISITED | Ever Bilena Original Eye Pencil in Off White Review

Hola, hola my loves! How is your week so far? May is coming! Oh my gosh, can you believe it!

I remembered declaring last year as my smokey eye year, lol. I would often practice lots of smokey shadows. What gives?

Well I just thought my eyes can look more defined with that kind of look. Ehem...

But today, I am going to take away the spotlight on my black eyeliner and share to you how a simple white eyeliner can make your eyes instantly bigger and brighter using one of my favorite drugstore brands, Ever Bilena.

So ladies, say hello to Ever Bilena Original Eye Pencil in Off White (Php 95.00 or $2.00).

REVISITED | ESSENCE Fix & Matte Translucent Loose Powder Review

Well it’s that time of the year when you want to look and feel light--- thanks to summer! Here in sunny Manila, the temperature by this time is ranging from 34-36 degrees, imagine that. Oh how I miss the four seasons <sigh>.

I always thought I can rock living in a four-season cities such as Seoul or Beijing which I had the chance to visit in the last few years. I have not been anywhere in Europe or the US but fingers crossed, wohooo!

Anyhow, these days, I don’t see the point of using tons of foundation. If you have oily skin as I do, this equates to patchy, uneven or cracked makeup in summer. While I did makeup for quite a number of people, I find it amusing that the most difficult face to please is ….. tadaaaan: the one I have, harharhar!

Just that I have troubles understanding my own skin because right after finding something that works, after sometime, my skin sort of like gets immune to it and then the quest again for the products which work. HeartbreakL. I know.

Remember my review about my current fave contour/ bronzing powder from Essence?

Today, I am going to review another Essence product. So gear up ladies, today’s review is about the ESSENCE Fix & Matte Translucent Loose Powder (Php 259.00) at SM Makati.

I'M NOT MARRIED, THANK YOU!

Don’t you just hate it when someone asks you this dreaded question: “ Why are you still not married?”

Yes, she just used the word, “still”.

Duh.

My Most Wanted Youtube Beauty Gurus

When I got extra time to spare, I would usually check out beauty tutorials online in Youtube. Prior to owning this blog, I was a busy lurker on these beauty channels and blogs. Youtube is a very nice community of awesome people. I like variety and for what its worth, I can almost find anything I want to see.

I was asked several times by my friends who are my fave beauty gurus in Youtube. While I watch a lot of tutorials online, I must admit I have my usual list. So in this post, I am going to list down my all time/ current faves:

Airbrush

REVISITED | Glambox' Basic Airbrush Class

I am always curious about airbrush makeup. Coming from my 2012 bucket list, this item remained unchecked for a long time. But few weeks ago, I finally had the chance to untick this off from my list. I attended Glambox’ Basic Airbrush course, yay!
