Tip for the Day: Mini-me Containers

Php 19.75 each plastic (for 2 containers) available at Landmark, Makati

I'm sure a lot of beauty addicts won't feel there's anything new with the photo above. Especially to those MMU addicts (hehehe) These babies are super useful. I just wanted to share with you guys that I bought this for Php 19.75 (approx $.50) at the Landmark. One pack has 2 plastic containers.

I like them because they have pink cap with them. Too bad they mixed it with the clear ones :) They could be cheap or expensive...not sure how much some of you gals pay for this...but I'm happy I bought them, they are useful for my loose glitters :D

How much do you pay for these?
Where do you buy these?

Askmewhats Reviews: Ardell LashGrip vs. Andrea Mod Lash

Here's my "to be continued" post from Oh My Falsies post...

I have tried on Shu Uemura Lash Glue (not on pix) and it works wonders...it sticks and it is easy to peel off as well without tugging your original lashes, but I find it a bit expensive, hehehe It's actually not that expensive but of course, I'm not going to be using falsies everyday of my life so I will settle on something good and yet, affordable...

Here are my 2 hauls of Lash glue ....

Left : Ardell LashGrip available at Watson's SM MOA for Php 380.00 Right: Andrea Modlash available at Beauty Bar for Php 195.00

Ardell Lashgrip Adhesive
comes in 2 types, the black ones and the clear ones (I bought mine in Clear as I thought I can always apply gel liners.

Askmewhats says ---

Pros--

• it really does stick!
• its easy to remove, doesn't pull out your original lashes

Cons --

• the white part really does show! I did try to put not too much, wait for it to get a bit tacky before putting it on, the white glue didn't get transparent (or maybe I should wait longer than 3 minutes)

Overall --

For the price of Php 395.00 ($9.50). It's not too cheap, but it's not too expensive as well as this can last for quite some time. I believe I should give other lash glue a try and I can do some comparison. But basically, this is not a bad product, it doesn't sting and it is easy to remove. (that's the most important thing). For the white part? I find it not a bother as I can easily fill it in with black gel liner and the white glue will be gone! :)

Will I repurchase?
no, read further for my next review for the Andrea brand

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrea ModLash Adhesive
comes in Black and another type in Clear but in bottle version for individual lashes

Askmewhats says ---

Pros--

• it really does stick!
• its easy to remove, doesn't pull out your original lashes
• it's grayish, not PURE black, but it comes off nice
  
• it's CHEAPER
  

Cons --

• none for now
  

Will I repurchase?
Yes, too bad they don't have this in clear..maybe they'll have it soon :)

Overall note --
If you can click on the picture to enlarge, you can see that both tubes looked EXACTLY the same, you know why? Because both came from the same company with same ingredients and same box wordings. I didn't feel robbed as I started out wanting the clear one (which Andrea doesn't have). I've used both and it gives out the same quality, same tackiness...

Who tried this?
How do you like it?
If not, what are the other brands you guys have tried and totally love it?

Share and make other "falsies-whore" happy :D

Oh My Falsies!

**all falsies available at the Landmark

I never thought I'm a type of person who would buy falsies. Given the chance? I still don't. But why am I buying all these crazy lashes on pictures above? Well, I love putting falsies to other people and see them look totally different!!! Love it!! I just want to share with you guys the hauls I made. The first picture above would be my first haul, and the next picture would be my haul just last night.

Of course, with Falsies, comes great Lash Adhesives (quoted from Spiderman -- "With great power comes great responsibility" hahaha). Stay tune for my lash adhesives review and comparison (Yup! I bought 2, reviews will be coming up shortly)

Do you use falsies?
Do you like how you look after putting it on?
Do you put falsies to other peeps?

Spill the beans!

Askmewhats Version: "Orange Juice" Look

Now now, I've done a lot of regular looks and I am challenging myself for a crazy-o look. I can't really do crazy crazy kind of look to my friend in the office as I don't want her to scare people off on her way home..hahaha so here's a loud look...

I call this the "Orange Juice" look, well, firstly, because the color dominant would be orange..and ..hmm..I dunno, I was drinking TANG that day I made the look? hahaha Here goes...thanks to Gemma my dear model for being a sport and for letting me play around with your looks, and Phia girl, thanks for the lovely hair!

Here's a closer look...

A lovely pose!

Askmewhats and the model :D

I hope you guys can see the lips (it blurred a bit but I'll still try to post it here) Since I'm doing loud colors, I'm doing it all the way and I pat on different colors of the NYX Ultra Pearl Mania and pat it to her lips...it looked WILD! And you know what I've found out? The NYX Ultra Pearl Mania can be used as lipstick as well! I kinda rubbed some of the color to my other friend with lip gloss and VOILA! Got a new lipgloss color! The color payoff is great! Be brave with mix and matching!!! Gotta love NYX!

I enjoyed this. Truly did.
Hope you guys enjoyed the post...
as much as I enjoyed sharing.

Great day everyone!
