Askmewhats Reviews: Ecotools Bamboo Eyeliner Brush

Hello everyone!!!

I'm alive and kicking because I had a good sleep yesterday! :) I am happy because I don't have work on Monday!!! I did say that right? But I want to shout it to the world!!! NO WORK ON A MONDAY!!!! Weeeeeeee!!!! lol

Before I go ballistic on a no work on Monday mode... let me proceed with my usual product reviews! :)

I have 2 reviews for Ecotools, one for the 5pcs brush set and the other one for the eyeliner brush. I will start with the Ecotools Eyeliner Brush because I am taking more time to "get to know" my 5-pcs brush set :)

This is what I got from MakeupMix Shop.




Ecotools Bamboo Eyeliner brush says ---

  • Earth-friendly beauty.
  • Cruelty free hair.
  • Natural & recycled materials.
  • This earth-friendly brush shows respect for the planet.
  • Bamboo handle has a low impact on the earth's resources as it is a highly sustainable plant.
  • Synthetic Taklon bristles are 100% cruelty free.
  • Sleek ferrule is made of recycled aluminum.
  • Reusable cosmetic pouch.
  • Made in China.
Askmewhats says ---

Pros
  • Each product are packed well! So professional looking!
  • Earth friendly, made of natural and recycled material!
  • 1% of the sales proceed goes to the Planet :)
  • brush is perfectly shaped, not too thin or thick, just the right shape and size to line your eyes!
  • handle length is perfect
  • no shedding

Cons
  • not available locally

Overall

I love this brush! I did say my HG brush is my Smashbox Eyeliner brush, but my smashbox isn't angled. The Ecotools Bamboo eyeliner brush is angled perfectly and applying gel liner or e/s as liner is a breeze. So easy to use, it's definitely fool proof!

Seeing "Made In China" could make people react, but this is definitely made with great quality control. I love how it looks so expensive but the price is so affordable. Recently a reader left a comment on my cbox asking for a great gel liner brush, I would say this is the best especially if you're just starting to apply gel liner!

I love this brush!

Tips
  • wipe or wash your brushes gently
  • if you use this brush for gel liners, clean the brush hairs with oil first before you proceed with regular brush cleanser.
  • you can also use this brush to apply liner using your eyeshadows!
Will I repurchase?

If needed, YES!

Where can I purchase and how much?

At the Makeup Mix Shop for $3.75 (approx Php 185.00)

Here's a close up shot of the brush
to show how perfect it is




The bristles are perfect!
No flyaways!




Handle is made of bamboo
well printed

Long Handled

(6 inches)




And here's why I love
Ecotools product

1% of the sales
goes to the Planet!




And this was the swatch I did
for the CS White Gel Liner
using the Ecotools Bamboo Eyeliner brush



Hope this review helps for people out there
who's looking for a great eyeliner brush!
You can't go wrong with the price too!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Stay Happy!!!!

I Wonder: "What's the Best Body Moisturizer?"

Warning: X-rated content! LOL




Dear Readers:


I've written many times about the dryness of my skin. Well, this is the time...the moment..to show what extent of dryness I'm talking about. That's my sexy legs by the way! LOL Not my arms! ok? hahaha

Yes, sad to say, I do live on a tropical country with NO winter, but my skin looks like it's winter all year round. That's how my leg looks like prior to applying lotion. Even if I moisturized, it'll turn back looking like that after an hour or so.

So it's time for me to ask:

"What's the Best Body Moisturizer you can recommend?"

Comment section is definitely open
for all your ideas! :)

Can't wait!!!
Stay Happy!

Stay dry-free !

Nail Art Tutorial: "Queen of Hearts" Nails

Hello everyone!!! Long weekend for us here in the Philippines! After work today, I'll be ALL SMILES! :D No work on Monday!!! Did you read that right? Yes!!! No Manic Monday! *giggles* I am too giddy!

Anyways, before the week ends, I will leave you pretties a very simple nail art that everyone can do :) Though I call this the "Queen of Hearts" Nails, do not expect this nail art looking exactly like a Queen of Hearts Card. This is my own version :) Hope you like it!

Love for everyone!!!



Step 1:

Apply 2 coats of The Face Shop (old packaging) polish in Shimmering Lavender. Let dry.



Step 2:

Very excited with my new L.A. Colors Art Deco polishes. I used RED and create a diagonal line, filling half of the nail with the red polish.



Step 3:

Go through the line between the 2 colors with L.A. Colors Art Deco in glitter gold



Step 4:

Apply a thick layer of any top coat of your choice.



Step 5:

Press any nail art glitters, rhinestones, or in my case, I used a heart shaped rhinestone. Apply any direction you want :) I alternate Clear and Red hearts.



Voila!
I'm full of hearts!
Full of love :)



I hope this can brighten up your day! :)
Have a wonderful day ahead!
Stay happy!
