Askmewhats Version: "Together in Electric Dreams" Look

I am so stuck with the 80's song "We're always be together...together in Electric Dreams"....

Let me go back to the purpose of this blog...
Not singing of course , but hey, I can be a good singer :P (no violent reactions ok)

After my review on the PAC e/s that I bought recently, I've used this for a couple of days and so far, I am very happy with the quality and pigmentation and not to forget, the staying power! From morning til nighttime! <-- NO CREASING!
Here's a look that I came up with I've used as minimal eye product as possible for you guys to see the "effect" of the e/s itself











Products Used ---

Eyes
  • L'oreal HIP Cream(as base)
  • PAC e/s (Applied 2x: First applied lightly all over the lids, Second, applied with a small shadow brush and pack on the colors on the lid area)
  • MAC Black Carbon (Outer v)
  • Stila Smudgepots in Black
  • P&J Curly Mascara in Black

I am very happy with the quality! I just wish they have more colors available for me to fill up my blank palette :D And before I end this post.... Here's what I MUST do...


Smile at you guys and wish everyone a wonderful day! :D

It was a "touching" Surprise!

I woke up at 5:45am, sleepy, hoping it's Friday on my side of the earth.
I knew it wasn't ...so I literally dragged myself to take a shower.
Left home at 7am arrived at the office at 8am. (because there's not much traffic today)
Work starts at 8:30am, what do I do?
Go to my site and read what's on my blogroll <--- yes, every single day as you guys are my strength, you guys kept me sane..or insane? lol

I got a lovely surprise when I clicked on Kikay Exchange
Jillsab of KE left me a comment asking me if she can cross post my review on the MAC lipliner
I told her "yes of course!"
But I didn't expect it to happen so soon..
and I didn't expect it to make me feel so giddy....and proud!




After I came back to reality and realized
I am still a mortal
.....

I continued reading what's on my blogroll again.
When I clicked on Paint Me Gorgeous
I literally jumped back a bit, stared at the computer
and told myself "Who the hell is that girl? She looks Familiar!"
I stared at it again, and read the photo writings...
DEFINITELY...it is mine!
I read it at once and I just can't believe that the "gorgeouses" thought so nicely of me!
Though it still made me cringed a bit to see such big photo of myself in another person's blog
I am honestly touched!




To these 2 wonderful sites, Kikay Exchange and Paint Me Gorgeous.
I can't say thank you enough from the bottom of my heart for such sweet gesture.
I honestly felt I've won an Oscar
thank you for giving me the inspiration to keep on blogging
no matter how sleepy I am every time I go home,
I would always be energized to prepare for my posts for the next day!

Thank you!

Sorry, that's all the "thank yous" that I know of! :D

Askmewhats Reviews: PAC E/S


PAC Cosmetics (Professional Artist Cosmetics)

Everytime I go the mall to swatch this, I always thought this is a good quality local brand. I was wrong. I learned from the SA that PAC is French brand manufactured in Indonesia. (correct me if I am wrong please) I haven't heard much about Indonesian cosmetics so even if I liked the pigmentation, I let it go and went home and do my own research about this product first. I want to check out reviews on the quality, of course, I don't see much but their WEBSITE (Really wonderful website but not in English)

When I went to the mall again, a force pulled me towards a lovely bluish green colored single e/s. The pearly color was named PO1, I swatched it on my hand, I applied it on my lids, I fell in love! I bought the refill as I have a palette in mind that I can home this to!

Here's how the refill looks like


** for Php299.00 (approx $6.50)

See just how beautiful this color is?


Swatched ONCE, without base



The good thing? It fits my palette! 6 more to go! it is beside my ULTA e/s hauls :D



Let's go to the real deal...the review.

PAC Cosmetics Says ---

Eyeshadow padat dalam 2 jenis formula :
Pearly Eyeshadow yang memberi hasil akhir berkilau dan Matte Eyeshadow dengan hasil tanpa kilap. Dengan formula waterproof untuk hasil yang tahan lama.

--- Do you understand? I don't! ! But thanks to the lovely Inan from Shizzinizzle for translating this for me!

Pressed Eyeshadow has 2 Formulas:
Pearly Eyeshadow gives shimmery finish dan Matte Eyeshadow with the matte finish. With waterproof formula for a long-lasting power.

Askmewhats says ---

Pros
  • Affordable
  • They have refills!!!
  • Very pigmented
  • Stays the whole day, no creasing (well I've only tested to myself).
  • Size is bigger than MAC refills
Cons
  • few color choices (a lot of colors on the website are not available here in our country.
  • not all the colors have their equivalent refills as seen in their site
Tip
  • if you are using the pearly eyeshadow, it looks great when applied with your fingers or a brush that has "packed" bristles
  • wear this alone! Vavavoom look in an instant!

Will I repurchase?

Yes!!! This color that I bought is as good as Make-up Forever (MUFE). But of course, this is just one color that I've tried, I haven't tested on the other colors yet.

Overall?

One e/s has changed my mind. Good quality make-up doesn't really have to be super expensive. Because of this single product that I bought from them, I am very interested to try on the quality of their other product lines.


I will try to create a look with this e/s soon!
How'd you like the color?
Too wild for you?
