Askmewhats Reviews: Fashion 21


**available at all beauty stores for Php85.00 (approx $2.00 each)

A stick e/s or liner is really useful to complete your whole EMU. We always love to use our eyeliners in browns or blacks, but really, having a different colored liners can really brighten up your eyes.

One local brand I've used and really love is the Fashion 21 Stick e/s or eyeliner. I've used 2 colors and I'm planning to buy all their shades.

Fashion 21 says ---

For the website, smile smile !

  • Gentle
  • water resistant
  • hip and trendy

Askmewhats says ---

Pros
  • really affordable!
  • color payoff is really good
  • their choices of colors are wonderful! (available in wood, sable, smoke, clay, pearl, lotus, gold, lilac, grass, aqua and lagoon) --- all wonderful colors
  • can really be used as eyeshadow base (to make the e/s powder color comes out even brighter)
  • can be used as eyeliner, tried this too many times, really good outcome
  • doesn't smudge (unless you want a smudged look)
  • easy to remove with make-up remover

Cons
  • easily breaks as it gets really creamy and soft
Tips
  • do store them in cool dry place
  • the lagoon (is my personal fave) can be used as eyeliner and it can really really make a person looks totally HIP and different
  • draw a line, then smudge it with your fingers, or brush (lovely e/s color!)
  • use the white liner in the corners of your eyes, really nice brightening color!
Will I repurchase?
Yes!

Have anyone tried this? How do you like it? It's great for a good price.

Your askmewhats,
Nikki

What I learned from my mom ---
  • help other people, without asking anything in return
  • always smile
  • always be thankful of what you have
  • never complain
  • be patient, as good things will always come your way
  • money is NOT everything
  • never lie
  • never cheat
  • do as many good things as you can, as you can make other people happy
The list can go on and on and on....that's how great my mom is, I learned so much from her!
I knew whatever decisions I make, she would always love me,
accept me, with open arms and not judge me!

Mom, this is dedicated to you, you are the best!!!
I love you so much!!
Happy Mother's day....my mom, my bestfriend!

Weekend Food Tripping at: Green Tomato



The Green Tomato, is a newly-opened restaurant at the Shangri-la Mall. Your askmewhats gave this food a try for 2x already. This food tripping would be my 2nd time. I am loving both times!

The prices are affordable as seen in a sample "one page" menu that we took a shot of...they have a lot of variety from pasta, pizza and rice dishes ...and of course..desserts!



For Php 205.00 you get to eat their Chicken and Mushroom pasta! (photo below)
It tastes really really good, and they have a good serving of chicken pieces


Craving for a meaty pizza?
They have their version of a Meat pizza called Mighty Meaty,
an approx 8inch pizza good for 2-3 people for only Php 190.00
Affordable...
Yummy...
Affordably Yummy!!!!





I will definitely come back and give their other food choices a try.

I got full and happy...
Contented

Love pasta and pizza? The place to be!!!!

Your askmewhats,
Nikki

Askmewhats Reviews: Stila Smudge Pots Gel Eye Liner


Stila Smudge Pots Gel Eyeliner deserves a space in my blog...it really does! I can't seem to stop giving praise to my gel eyeliner. Definitely my HG!!! I have bought Stila online through Strawberrynet I haven't read any reviews actually about it. All I know is I wanted something just like the Bobbi Brown Gel Liner that I've tried and love but a bit cheaper. Since I was buying a couple of stuffs at the website and I wanted to reach 3 products to get the additional 5% discount, I gave in to Stila since I've heard so much good stuffs about this brand.
I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION... This is my best online or even best BUY EVER!!!

As seen in the picture below, I have been using it to EVERYONE I'm putting make-up on. I felt so guilty that I kinda didn't give my other liners their time of the day... it took me a whole lot of practice and brush choosing to finally..finally...get comfortable in applying this both to myself and to others.

Here's how "black" Stila is, photo below...




I am using my Smashbox No. 28 brush above. I sometimes would use my Body Shop Slanted Brush or my SUESH eyeliner brush. As long as you're comfortable, any eyeliner brush will do :)

I won't be breaking down this review with Pros and Cons, the only CON would be...IT IS NOT available here in Manila!!! I have to order online!!!! Stila people? If you can read this, please!!! Come to Manila!!!

This will last me a long time, just to make sure to close it tightly so it won't dry up :)

My dear readers, Any ask-me's? Don't be shy!

Have a great weekend!

Your askmewhats,
Nikki
