I Wonder: Makeup You Secretly Hoard

Hi AMW friends!  By the time you're reading this, I'm off to UST hospital with Mr. AMW and Baby AMW for Kyle's monthly check!  He is due for another shot and I pray he doesn't get sick or as fuzzy as last month!  A mom's got to do what a mom's got to do!  PRAY!  

I'm sure I had you at my blogpost title...are you still thinking at the moment which particular makeup you secretly hoard? 


Want to know what's mine?  Any guesses?  Well, you'll know more about it after the jump....



TADAH!!! Yes, brow mascaras!  If you have read my travel posts and my hauls for most of my travels, you'll probably connect A to B to C!  I tend to purchase at least one brow mascara product and mine you, it should be the shade light brown or blonde!  I guess it is the lack of light colored brow mascaras in the Philippines that made me a brow mascara hoarder! 

My first light colored brow mascara purchase was from Singapore called Sana Styling W-Brow, instead of using this for myself, I ended up using this loads of times on clients because the quality is really good and I find the shade to suit most clients with color-treated hair.  During my Tokyo Trip, I purchased a different brand called Kiss Me Heroine Rotation Coloring Eyebrow  mainly for myself!  Aside from Kiss Me, I am also using Majolica Majorca Brow and Lash Colorist as I haven't been coloring my hair much after pregnancy! 

Do I have enough brow mascaras to help lighten my brows or my clients' brows?  OF COURSE NOT!  When my brother visited Hong Kong and messaged me what I needed there, I immediately replied: "Brow Mascaras!"  Can you imagine my brother going from one Sasa store armed with a sample of brow mascaras on phone showing to SAs?  Thank goodness for technology as he took photos on different brands of brow mascaras and I virtually shopped!  

Here are 2 additional light colored brow mascaras that I will be putting up a review soon!

Koji Brow Specialist in Soft Brown


The unique part about this brow mascara is its wand, the size is 3mm small!  Very easy to maneuver and get into the small hairs.
 

Naris Up Day Keep 24-Hours Long Lasting Eye Brow Mascara 
in Light Brown 


Mostly in Japanese characters with Mandarin translation at the back!  

There is a reason why I like to hoard on light colored brow products, aside from the mentioned fact that most of these aren't available in the local market, I find it easier to correct the shade of my brows or my clients' brows using a lighter shade of brow mascaras!  I can easily darken it with brow powders after brow mascara application.

If you would like to know how I lighten or change the color of my brows, feel free to read my past post: "This Is How I Do It: Lightening My Brows".

Now you know my secret, it is my turn to know yours!
I Wonder: "Which particular type of makeup do you secretly hoard?"

(feel free to include makeup brands too!)
In my defense, I do not call this hoarding as I can use these on my makeup gigs! *defensive*

    1. I have to check! Come to think of it, when I visited the store, I wasn't able to find one! Try Majolica Majorca, they are not as pricey but nice pa rin!

  3. I'm a late bloomer when it comes to makeup but recently, I tend to check on lipsticks more than anything else. I often convince myself that I don't need to buy lipsticks anymore because I'm rotating for 4 lipsticks but I have 6 lipsticks on my wish list now (including Nars Schiap!) hehehe

    1. Ah I think lipsticks are the most hoard makeup as of the moment! I can totally understand, we can change the color of our lips multiple times a day and it is okay! :D

  7. I don't think I hoard makeup but for some reason, I have a lot of cheek products (blush, tint, etc) because when my mother shops for makeup, she usually gets me blushes/tints without asking me first if I need or want it. I'm proud of myself though because around September last year, I promised myself I won't buy another cheek product until I use up all that I have and I refused to accept what my mother bought for me last time hehe. It's been months and I'm still not halfway done with my stash!

    Wait, actually I think I hoard lipsticks (like buying up to 6-8 tubes at a time) but not really for me but for my mom because I'm not a big lipstick user but she is haha. So maybe my mom and I hoard for each other? Haha!

    1. LOL! You are too funny and nice for hoarding lipsticks for your mom!
      Congrats for staying strong on your no-buy mode, I know what you mean about blush! I haven't really finish 1 and considering, I use them a lot on makeup gigs!

  8. I have become obsessed with my brows lately, maybe because I color my hair. Aside from lipsticks, Brow (powers, liners, mascaras) are my new obsession. My Mom who is in her 80s think the brows are the best part of high light on her face.

    1. Same as you, I became interested with brow gels when I colored my hair! And I have to agree with your mom! Brows are really important!!!!

  9. I'm obsessed with BB creams. Whenever I go to department stores or Watsons, I check on their BB creams and end up buying them. I don't know why, hindi ko naman sila nagagamit lahat. I know, I have to control myself with this. And just recently, I can't stop myself from itching on foundations naman.
