My Birthday Face!

Hey AMW Friends!

So before we bid farewell to the month of February, I want to say --- It's My Birthday!!!  

There won't be anything super special today, I will still drive my son to and from school, be with him during nap time, study and do art activities with him and just a simple dinner with my family.

Yes, it seems like a normal day to all of you but that is what I choose to do on my birthday!  I'd rather stay home and spend time with my loved ones!

What will be my birthday look as I"m getting close to 40?  39 to be exact if you are still counting, this is the simplest look I have in mine with the help of Pink Sugar's newest HD Cheek Color and Sugar Tint Lip And Cheek Tint --- these 2 new products were released for the Valentine's season but I felt this is appropriate for how I feel on my special day --- Very much LOVED!  (By my friends, family and YOU!)

Let's start with glowing cheeks, I like cheeks that doesn't exude a lot of COLOR but more of cheeks looking fresh and glowing from within.  I was able to achieve that with the new HD Cheek Color shade in Paris Lights.

Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color 

Shade: Paris Lights

Price: Php499.00

A Concealer That Can Cover Your Deepest Darkest Secret

If there's OMG moment for a concealer (coming from someone who uses A LOT of concealer), I will give it to CLIO's Kill Cover Pro Artist Liquid Concealer!  I know I've raised my hat on the Kill Cover Conceal-dation but there is something extremely unique about this concealer I can't help but gush about it!

Kill Cover Pro Artist Liquid Concealer

Php820.00

Available locally at Club Clio

Swatch: Shade 04 BO

This is one of the darker shade and I am thankful this works perfectly for my undereye area since it has yellow undertone.  

"Orange" You Glad It's Summer Time?

Not Really. 

But I'm glad it's my birthday soon!

Just a few more days and I'm turning a year older!  I don't feel any day older though, I guess I am surrounded by fun and young people I get all the youthful energy!  And let's not forget, I like cute, pretty stuff that makes me happy every single day!

Today, I am wearing a lip color I absolutely dislike *laughs*  But that's just me, Orange lipstick really isn't my thing but this lipstick that I got from NYX Cosmetics called NYX Full Throttle is a type of lipstick worth checking out!  I don't know how this got into my kit (I mean, THIS COLOR in particular) but who am I to judge?  This color is particularly LOVELY on photo!  A bit shocking neon orange in person but really beautiful on photos! 

According to NYX Cosmetics ---

"It’s the color addict’s ultimate fix and a makeup artist’s dream: Our new waterproof Full Throttle Lipstick covers your lips with super-saturated matte color and features a unique bullet with a beveled edge for lining, filling and perfecting your pout to your heart’s desire."

 

Birthday Food Trip at: Nono's Comfort Food, Podium

I told you so many times that February is my favorite month because ---
1. Cool weather
2. Valentine's Day
3. Chinese New Year - most of the time, my brother would come home for family reunion.
4. My Birthday!

Well, the last part, I'm not that excited anymore, who's excited growing older? 

But, what excites me is the fact that I get to celebrate so many times!  With friends, with both families (mine and Mr. AMW) and just US (the AMW Fam!)

My language of love will always be bonding over food (that explains why I'm not losing weight!)  And February definitely is a month of CELEBRATION!  (Can we play that song over here?)

Personalized Professional Makeup KIT by DOB

Me with my newet DOB Pro Makeup Bag!

A couple of years ago, I purchased my ZUCA case for approximately Php12,000+ and that was a LONG time ago!  I never used or purchased any other makeup traincase after using the ZUCA bag because it works for me in SO MANY WAYS ---

• Easy to tote around whether hotels or on location shoots.
• Comes with pouches so I can easily separate makeup based from category. (1 bag for base makeup, 1 bag for blush and powders, 1 bag for lipsticks, another 1 for eyeshadows etc...)
• Easy to set and organize makeup on ANY table as I just pull out the bag, fold the cover and Voila!  I have my own "drawers"!
• Looks neat for both MUA and clients.
• Easy to pack up, since I can return the products easily after every use.  Once done with work, I only need to close the zipper and insert the utility bags inside the KIT and I'm ready to leave!
• I can sit on it and boy oh boy does this HELP A LOT!  There were so many times during a shoot that chair really isn't a thing!  So I am proud to say, I have my own chair anytime, any day!
• Perfect size for travel, can be used as a handcarry so your makeups are well-protected.  Aside from that, the bag can easily pass through airplane aisles!
• Multi-purpose, this KIT is not only for makeups but for any other stuff you desire.  (Art materials for artists, clothes for traveler, gadgets for Photographers/videographers and a whole lot more!)
• Can store other products like makeup tools even my extension cord as the bag has a lot of zippered compartments.

The Kilo Off Challenge

Before 2018 start, I knew I had to do something about my extra 5-8 pounds!  I used to be 110-115lbs pounds (pre-Kyle) and it shoot up to 120-125lbs after giving birth!  With all the physical activities I do with my son, you would think I don't have issues with my weight, with extra cups of coffee a day plus in between snacking just because I'm too sleep or tired, pounds are actually adding up without me knowing!  

Well I actually do not mind the extra 5-8lbs but when you know you have a very important shoot that would have your photo plastered in public, you know in your heart that you want to look extra good!

Don't get me wrong, I exercise at home, I do jumping jacks, I do sit-ups and pull-ups in between tasks but I need HELP in making the process a bit faster and easier with the help of KILO OFF.  

I've read so many positive reviews about the brand and how safe it is!  After constant research, I went ahead and bought the KIT online at Beautymnl.com.  And it was perfect timing when I finished the set I purchased and another set was sent my way as gift!  Gosh, it is the universe's way of telling me I should do something!

Jordana Complete Cover Maximum Coverage 2-in-1 Concealer Foundation Review

I've had this Jordana Complete Cover Maximum Coverage 2-in-1 Concealer Foundation for quite some time but I didn't get around to use it a lot especially since I have been using Cushion Foundation mostly.  But on and off, I've been using this product at least once a week for the past 6 months, took me awhile, but I'm finally ready to share my thoughts.

Eye Can Do It with Happy Skin!

I couldn't believe I will be telling you this, but I have grown to a point in my life I'm actually comfortable just using 1 shade to 2 shades of eyeshadow max!

I used to go crazy with eyeshadow shades - electric blue to dark purples to moss green and aqua blue, you name it, I've done them all!  ---> please don't search my old photos, because they make me CRINGE, big time!

And because of my love for single to duo shadows, the Happy Skin Eye Can Do It 3-way KIT is something I've been using day in and out!  Why?  Because I love that the shades are really friendly to use + I still get to contour subtly which is one of my favorite makeup step (if you don't know this by now!)

Cathy Doll Magic Gluta Pact Review

Cathy Doll offers a couple of Powder Pact and one of my favorite is the CC series called Color Correct.

This year, they came up with a newer powder pact called Magic Gluta Powder Pact.  Checking them out online, I noticed this is actually NOT a new product but a repackaged one!  This used to be housed in a cute, girly-type of packaging with a doll printed on top of the compact.  This year, they made it more professional-looking.

Housed in a metallic pink packaging (similar as the Karmart store in Thailand), I like it that this product appears more professional yet still works for those who wanted a younger, cheerful vibe.

Cathy Doll Magic Gluta Pact  Says ---

This powder pact provides naturally radiant skin with the combination of L-Glutathione and Vitamin C Complex and offers great coverage with smooth finish as well as 50 times sun protection.

Kanebo Intense Crayon Rouge in Chic Pink is Perfect for the Hearts Month!

When Valentine's Day is over but you still want to hold on to the "kilig" factor.  That's me --- getting all kilig thinking about how this is my most favorite month of the year!

AMW Wears: Kanebo Intense Rouge Chic Pink

Finally!  They have a more intense version of their hydrating lip products!

Six vibrant colors glide on to subtly shape and define your lips. Intense colors brighten up your lips and deliver a soft matte finish.

Weekend Food Trip at: Gumbo

I have dined at Gumbo a couple of times with my family but I only wrote about it once and it was almost 8 years ago!  (Read post HERE)

So fast forward to today, my family and I were hungry when we met at Robinsons Magnolia, we used to love to go for Pepper Lunch but we wanted somewhere quiet were we can easily catch up as Pepper Lunch is located at the Food Court of the mall.

So with hungry stomachs, we were back for yet another fun bonding with my brother and parents and I tell you, we never leave the restaurant hungry!

Baked Artichoke Formaggio

Grande Php395.00

These are freshly baked garlic bread chips (which I really love since they took the effort to make it a garlic bread instead of just regular bread).  I wish they added more Artichoke to it as I tasted mostly cream!

Lusting Over: The School of Satchel

I have always been a genuine leather-type of girl!  Brand names aren't important to me as I lean towards to practicality!  So I would rather "lug" a genuine leather bag than a faux-leather bag (branded or not) as the lifespan will only be around a year to a year and a half (max!)  

Trust me, I took notes, so I know!

One of my favorite local leather goods brand is Fino and I have always been on a lookout for brands that offers not only quality but also STYLE.  

I found that at the brand The School of Satchel - A homegrown Filipino brand born 2011, I've seen their online presence and store presence for years and I'm happily sharing to all of you my top picks!

Charlie Satchel in Midnight Blue

Php5,900.00 

When these types of bags were fashionable 3-4 years ago, I stopped myself from getting one because I have always been a "huge bag" girl!  But seeing this color and design changed my mind!  This is a great bag to tote along with you for meetings!

Moringa-O2 2in1 Herbal Shampoo and Conditioner Review

I recently have issues with my scalp ever since the start of 2018!  It must be the weather or some allergic reactions to food, I honestly can't pinpoint it but it is starting to bother me like crazy!  

I have to re-shuffle and change some of my hair products and it was a wonderful timing when I got a sample of Moringa-O2 2in1 Herbal Shampoo and Conditioner (thanks Sampleroom).  I am too bothered to try ANYTHING that can help reduce itch and treat scalp!

Moringa-O2 2-in-1 Herbal Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner is a safe and effective herbal anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner which cleanses your scalp and moisturizes your hair at the same time!  It consists of Malunggay, Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil and Argan Oil which work together to provide gentle and no-fuss solutions that cleanses your hair and scalp without stripping off its essential oils.

It is also infused with Rosebay extract that decreases sebum production on the scalp while reducing the appearance of adherent and non-adherent flakes. It also provides a soothing anti-inflammatory action, making Moringa-O2 2-in-1 Herbal Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner a lighter and milder alternative compared to leading anti-dandruff brands in the market.

NEW Brow Brand Alert! Full Brow

So, you think you already know all the brow products brand out there huh?
That's what I used to think, and I'm wrong!

Full Brow products from Australia landed on my desk recently and I have been using these consistently for the past weeks and I'm finally ready to share to you what this brand has to offer  How different/same they are with brow products available in the market?

Full Brow Brow Powder (Php695.00)

Full Brow Brow Wax (Php625.00)

The Brow Powder comes in 4 shades - Blonde, Taupe, Natural Brown and Dark Brown. 

Banila Co. Color Correct CC Color Spot Concealer Review

Who loves concealer and depend on them as much as I do?  Raise your hands please!

I use them up so much I keep on purchasing them!   As much as I have my favorites on top of my head, I can't help but try different brands and share to you my thoughts on them.

Are you ready for another concealer review this time from Banila Co.?

Well, technically, the real concealer from the brand is called Real Stay Concealer which I reviewed HERE,  the brand may be into natural-looking makeup, I was a bit surprised as well that they offer CC line (Color Correction).  Don't worry though, this line is more on the subtle side, not the PRO shades wherein you need to have a bit of makeup artistry background to be able to pull it off.

This is subtle, and I like it for daily use!

Product Description

(Korean)

If you're running out of time but want to look flawless, the It Radiant CC Color Spot Concealer is something you should own.

Contrary to typical skin-toned concealers, the It Radiant CC Color Spot Concealer comes in various color correcting shades to quickly even out your skin tone. It is packaged conveniently in a thin twist stick that is compact and easy to carry. If your skin concerns are isolated in a small area of your face, this would easily spot correct them in a whim. Simply dab on the trouble areas and blend away with your fingers.

Kanebo Luster Cream Foundation Review

The last time I used a cream foundation housed in a gorgeous bottle like this, is from Paul & Joe which is also a Japanese brand. 

How I love the Japanese cosmetics brand when it comes to packaging - how luxe they feel yet still remain the simplicity - just like how we like in our Beauty Regimen.

I recently tried the Kanebo Luster Cream Foundation.  
Let me tell you upfront right now, this foundation is expensive as compared to the usual drugstore or mid-range foundations I feature here, but... I don't mind paying premium when it comes to foundations especially if I plan to use this on my lovely brides for their super special day!

And maybe, just maybe, after you scrolled down and see my before and after photo, you'll understand why this earned raves amongst Beauty Enthusiasts worldwide.

Kanebo Luster Cream Foundation Says ---

A rich textured cream foundation that achieves a flawless, luminous finish like porcelain. The complexion is instantly more luminous and visibly evener. The enriched formula creates a smooth porcelain skin with comfort.

Available in 8 Shades

Cloud Cosmetics Pepper Tint Gel Lip Tint Review

Happy Lippie Monday!

I have chanced upon the local brand Eden's Paradise way back and loved their lip product so much I created a special blog posts.

Fell in love with the shade Nude Teddy.  Then went ahead and tried their Lip Custard Cream in Winterberry.

When I heard about the change of brand from Eden's Paradise to Cloud Cosmetics, I am actually happy for the brand as packaging looks cute!  I am not an expert and hope a representative from Cloud Cosmetics would tell us the real deal but I felt the Pepper Tint Gel Lip Tint is actually different from the 2 products I used from Eden's Paradise.  I could be wrong, but I felt I'm right!  *laughs*

Cloud Cosmetics Pepper Tint Gel Lip Tint 

Php249.00

Treat your cheeks+lips to our refreshing liquid gel tint in four tasty shades! No need to sacrifice moisture for color with this non-drying blush and lip stain that combines nourishing jojoba oil, shea butter esters, and powder pigments with a dash of refreshing mint. 

Weekend Food Trip at : Gyu Kaku

So I kind off fell in love with Restaurant Booking Apps like Booky and Eatigo.  I am so addicted in searching good deals most of the restaurant I dine in have at least 10% discount just because I'm #tita like that.  

One restaurant I always see and pass by whenever I am at the Shangri-la Plaza Mall is called Gyu Kaku.  I've read positive reviews from Food Bloggers so I finally cave in and booked for the family on a Sunday night.

Assorted Mushrooms with Butter

Php295.00

This dish may look like something you wouldn't order because who would pay almost Php300.00 just for mushrooms?  Ahm... ME!

Something New: Good Virtues Co.

When I met up with my Sampleroom Family last year for Thanksgiving Party, I always ended up feeling joyours and happy not because it was the season but because for the fact that I am around gorgeous women who share the love for beauty like I do.  

We chat and catch up about our personal lives at the same time, share new beauty finds!  From Japanese Rice Cooker to kitchen scrub that really works *laughs*  we went back to being a Beauty Blogger when we were each given a Good Virtues Co. set to try.

Let's go beyond how cute their packaging are, the brand is from Malaysia and all the products are free from mineral oil, SLES, ALES, parabens, synthetic colourants and are NOT tested on animals!  

That is the focus of Good Virtues Co. --- feel and look beautiful without sacrificing our values.

The brand has full product range from hair care to skincare, I got 4 products to try and I took a leap on their shampoo and conditioner first.

Good Virtues Co. Happy & Heavenly Clarifying Hair & Scalp Shampoo for Oily Hair 

Good Virtues Co. Helpful & Delightful Anti-Dandruff Care Conditioner for Nourishing Hair Fall Protection 

Php160.00 each for 180ml

Tip for the Day: How to Prevent Dry Skin After Base Makeup Application?

Have this happened to you after finishing up all the steps of base makeup?

GASP!

It happened to me so many times (and to my clients) I'm actually NOT freaking out anymore!  The first time it happened to me was in the middle of work with a very important client and I want to cry right there and then ---> that was 10 years ago and I'm thankful there are so many products that can aid situations like this!

I've shared so many ways to making sure your foundation won't dry out your skin!  Example - How to Keep Your Skin from Looking Dry.

Sweet Look with Etude House Galaxy

Whenever I think about Etude House, I always think about Sweet 16 girls, meaning, teenage girls who are using this just to look sweet and, well, young!

I find that I'm too old for these types of glittery and shiny makeup!  It was a decade ago when I started out doing makeup looks online from bright purples to blues and greens!  You name all the shadow shades, I've probably done them all!  

But fast forward to present, I toned down, even my daily look is so subtle I almost always look like I don't have makeup on!  But if you follow me on #AMWIgStories , you 'll know that's not the case!  I am doing the No Makeup Makeup loo on a daily basis I can apply full face makeup with my eyes closed!  (Not really) hahahah

With the arrival of Etude House's Be My Universe launched last Holiday, I actually purchased this in store even before launching for the mere fact that it has a Planet Saturn printed on the palette which reminds me so much of my son!  

Not knowing that this palette actually works for daily use (for all ages too), I actually end up not showing this palette to my son as I wanted to at least finish half of the content before I let him ruin the rest!  #RealTalk #RealMoms

The Etude House Multi Palette comes in 2 shades - Pinky Galaxy (contains cool tone shades) and Golden Galaxy (contains warm tone shades).  I personally wanted the Golden Galaxy but I opted for shades that I don't have much!

Etude House Multi Palette in Pinky Galaxy

Makeup World Cover Up Concealer in Nude Review

You've probably seen and heard about Makeup World products when I shared some reviews on their bestselling products ---

Makeup World Complete Contour Palette

Makeup World Blush|Up Single Blush Powder

Makeup World Pucker Up Matte Lipsticks

Makeup World Cover|Up Pressed Powder

And today, I will be adding up to my review on the local brand under the Cover|Up line, the concealer!  I got the shade NUDE for review.

Makeup World Cover Up Concealer Nude says ---

An all-around creamy concealer that hides spots, blemishes, and under-eye circlesLightweight, highly-blendable formula covers up imperfections; helps smoothen patchy areas to create the perfect base; evens out skin tone; ideal for bare-faced weekends

Snoe Rouge Deluxe Exotique Review

I got the SNOE Rouge Deluxe Exotique Lipsticks for months now and I only got the chance to write about these because I am really thinking hard on how to categorize these lipsticks.  

Okay, let me try to simplify everything by saying --- these are locally-made and are good quality (so I'm raising our National Flag proudly here!), these are highly pigmented and comes in shades that are wearable for any skin tone!  All 6 shades I got are wearable I tell you!  I can't pick a favorite and I just make a decision by simply grabbing ANY shade on my "SNOE" basket and I'll know they will look pretty good on me.

Now, on the other side of the coin, you have to bear in mind that I, the reviewer, have extremely dry and dehydrated lips (I've said it a lot of times but I have to remind all of you!), they feather, they crack so whenever I test new products, I test them ALONE and with the help of lip moisturizer or lip balm!  

The Snoe Rouge Deluxe Exotique Lipsticks - I can't wear without the help of lip balm, that's because, my lips are special that way :P

Snoe Rouge Deluxe Exotique

Php499.00

The ultimate transformation! Shape and sculpt your lips and make a bold statement with just one swipe. Rouge Deluxe Exotique is velvety smooth, densely infused with multi-faceted pigments and formulated to give nourishment to your lips with lasting full coverage without feathering.

Tony Moly BCDation Cushion Plus Review

One of the most recommended base product from the brand Tony Moly by their SAs is the BCDation Cushion Plus.  As much as I try to steer clear from getting another cushion foundation since most of them are too light, dries out easily and I seldom use full face base makeup on a daily basis, I was actually sold by the SA's testimonial so I picked one just for the sake of review.

Tony Moly BCDation Cushion Plus

Php1,048.00

The Tony Moly BCDation is housed in a usual thick, round cushion-compact!  It's all white with a simple lettering of BCDation printed clearly which I honestly love!

Weekend Food Trip at: Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

The restaurant Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has been around for so many years at Greenbelt Branch.  I would know because young Nikki and Keith would hover around the area wondering when we'll have the budget to dine in such restaurant!  #laughs  (Pero seriously, kuripot lang kami sa pagkain nung panahon na yon! #ShoppingOverFood)

But as we grow older, priorities changed, Food is Life na - aside from Coffee.

It was one of those weekends we go out with my husband's family.  I've decided to never mind the drive from Manila to Makati on a Sunday but heck was it super traffic at Roxas Blvd.  We hoped the food would be worth it for the hour plus drive!

Cajun Shrimp

Php425.00

Sauteed in hot and spicy Cajun Butter sauce. Served with garlic bread for dipping.

Serving is quite small for the price but we love the hint of spiciness and sweetness on fresh shrimps!  Yes, I can tell that shrimps are fresh because I didn't end up with crazy allergies!  The garlic bread is TDF (To Die For!) 

Some Changes I've Done for Year 2018

2018 started out pretty well.

2 days after 2018, I was hired to do the job I love most - teach makeup to a small group of eager learners!  

Aside from that, I was able to work with a brand for a very important project which I can finally tick off from my bucket list! 

In life, it is easier to just "go with the flow" and stick to what works!  "Why change?  When everything's working out well?"

That statement gets to be blurted out so easily by me, I used to be that way, "Matigas ang ulo."  (hard-headed).  I disliked change so much it felt like "change" is trying to ruin the world that I'm trying the create - my tiny rigid universe.  

Thankfully, my job entails me to meet, socialize and work with inspiring people.  Because of that, I got inspired, and inspiration welcomes CHANGE.  I can actually see myself changing, and it was the for the better because I can sense that!

Let's start with the simplest change in life that I managed to do.  Some sounded so childish and small, but it is because of these tiny changes I get the courage to aim for bigger goals!

Baby Dove is Here!

Baby Dove is here in the Philippines!  I wished they arrived earlier (around 4.5 years earlier), I remembered scouring the whole baby section of a supermarket and even go to Baby Fairs just to check out brands made specifically for babies --- there wasn't a lot of choices back then and I'm sure a lot of you who have bigger kids can relate to that!

I've used a LOT!  A whole lot!  There were a couple of misses where I've seen my then baby broke into rashes!  Baby oils that are said to be meant for sensitive skin actually burned his skin!  

Did I felt bad?  YES!  Super bad!

But thankfully, I have a very supportive husband and understanding family who gave me a pat on the back and consoled me on how motherhood is really all about trial and errors!  There is no perfect handbook that would give all the right answers on how to be a perfect mom! 

Because there's NONE.  And I am perfectly fine to do all the testing myself because I enjoyed the process (not all!)  but there are a couple of instances were I felt super proud of myself!

So seeing the arrival of Baby Dove actually brought me back to so much first-time motherhood memories!  With a lot of newbie moms messaging me after seeing my IG post on these products, I am so happy to be able to share a bit of my experience and knowledge as REAL as it gets! #RealMoms

And yes, one of the most sought after Baby products brand DOVE BABY is finally here!  No need to ask relatives or friends to purchase for you, they are here, in our local supermarket ---  Both Rich Moisture and Sensitive Moisture Variants.

Guerlain Meteorites CC Glow Colour Correcting Highlighter Review

Do you love Guerlain Meteorites as much as I do?

Well, it's not that type that I can't live without, but it's the type of product that makes you smile and happy whenever you see it on the dresser and gives you the natural high whenever it touches your face.

That must be the "luxe" feel that you're looking for on days you feel like nothing is turning out right!  

This product, the Guerlain Meteorites CC Glow Colour Correcting Highlighter is part of the Spring 2018 collection from the brand.  Remember the recent post I wrote on the Guerlain Meteorites Heart Shape Palette?  Well, it comes as part of a COLLECTION.

This Colour Correcting Highlighter comes with sisters, there are 3 shades in total --- Green, Pink and Apricot.  And I went for the latter because I like to brighten up key areas of my face with just a twist from this cute pen!

Météorites CC Glow products from Guerlain are colour correctors that target and correct skin tone imperfections while offering a radiant and rejuvenating effect.

Based on the principle of colorimetry – two complementary colours cancel each other out when they are layered – Guerlain has developed three complexion correctors capable of effectively neutralising minor skin tone flaws: dark circles, dark spots or redness.

Each colour has a specific correcting property: green helps to neutralise redness, pink refreshes dull complexions, while apricot helps to erase areas of shadow and minor dark spots and offset the colour blue to counter dark circles.

Eye Of Horus Rubian Brown Goddess Pencil Review

I have always been a liquid liner + pencil liner combo user!  I use Liquid Liner for upper lashline and pencil liner for the waterline! That has been the best way for me to brighten up my eye.

I have my own favorites yet I always strive to look for the best in the market.  One brand that caught my attention is the Eye Of Horus and they created Goddess Pencil inspired by Egyptian Goddess, I mean, who has better-looking liner than Egyptian right?  

Eye Of Horus is a brand that uses ingredients used during the ancient times --- Ancient Moringa Oil, Ancient Malachite and a whole lot more.  I may not be knowledgeable with all the ingredients but all I know (and is thankful for) are the products are all cruelty-free!

Eye of Horus Dual Brow Perfect Says ---

Eye of Horus Goddess Pencils is a pencil eyeliner with a waterproof, longwearing and creamy formula. It is formulated with beeswax, organic moringa oil and carnauba and candelilla waxes. It features a smudge tip for blending colour. The eyeliner is paraben-free, non-irritating and suitable for sensitive eye areas. Available in: Smokey Black, Teal Malachite, Bronze Amulet, Scarab Sapphire, Emerald Tabula, Charcoal Obsidian, Nubian Brown, Sultry Serpentine, Lazuli Blue, Jewel Amethyst and new shades, Selenite White and Sahara Nude.
