Make Up For Ever Make Up Service Menu




One of the most sought after professional make up brand that I heavily rely on is Make Up For Ever.  Aside from the fact that their products NEVER fail me, I also love to use them personally especially their HD line.

When I got an invite to visit their store at Greenbelt branch, I can't say NO to the said invite because, would you believe, I've never stepped in the store?  I usually visit their Megamall branch so this is such a refreshing change.


The Make Up For Ever boutique at Greenbelt is a "swatch-lovers' haven".  All their products are displayed so neatly and you get to see everything at a glance.

I like their Best Sellers Bar where you get to know the brand's top selling products even if you are just a newbie who just walked in the store!  I always advice my make up loving friends to ask the Beauty Advisers on the brand's best-selling product/s as to not to get too overwhelmed with the variety of products displayed.

It doesn't hurt that Make Up For Ever displayed ALL their brushes!  From face brushes to eye brushes!  Even my heart makes a bit of an extra "fluttering" upon seeing this display.

Cathy Doll Triple Eyebrow Designing Review




Can we just stop and talk about Brows again?
You all know how #KilayIsLife and how I've been testing and trying different brow products from different companies/brands for the past ... ahm... decade?

Today, I will be sharing the Triple Eyebrow Designing product I had for months now from Cathy Doll.  This product is quite simple, a small palette with Light, medium and Dark brow shade that can also double up as an eyeshadow.

The shade I got and will review is 02 Natural Brown, it is also available in 01 Light Brown.

As for the packaging, it is quite straightforward, housed in a brown plastic rectangular packaging with a double-sided brush (angled brow brush and shadow brush), you can actually survive using only THIS if you are trapped in an island!  #lol

Maybelline Hyper Ink Liquid Liner Review




Since the arrival of wonderful liquid eyeliner pens, I didn't see myself touching a liquid liner that is housed in a "pot" and "applicator" (separately).  Holding the new Maybelline Hyper Ink Liquid Liner brought me back to so much good and bad "eyelining" memories.  The first one I tried was from Kate by Kanebo and I remembered poking my eye directly with the sharp brush seeing "black tears" rolling down my cheeks.  

Good 'ol pre-Blogging, pre-MUA memories.

Now that I'm confirmed to have steady-hands and a very good hands in ANY type of liquid liner application, holding this gave me that ultimate rush because I knew I will be getting somewhat a very precise, high intensity liquid liner --- and Maybelline Hyper Ink Liquid Liner gave me so much MORE!

The Hyper Ink Liquid Liner is housed in a very simple black and silver packaging with a long handled "cap" that I appreciate because I have better hold of the liner brush!

Get inked with a liner that does it all. Intense blacker than black pigments are highly absorbed by its unique flexi-cushion tip that gives extreme control. With a 12h smudgeproof formula, this eye liner will deliver bold and precise definition all day long.

I Perfected My Strobing Skills with NYX




I highlight and contour subtly on a daily basis, that's how I make my skin looks more healthy and radiant because I have naturally sallow (a.k.a. boring) skin.  I have roadtested so many contour and highlight products I knew which particular ones would give me the very natural and subtle effect while other products/brands can give me more drama.

But I wasn't ready for this particular "strobing" technique that I got after using the palette from NYX called NYX Strobe of Genius Illuminating Palette.  All I can say is that --- it is indeed a "genius" in the strobing department.

To those who are "used to" my usual "Product review photos", you can definitely see a major change in this!  

For goodness' sake, I don't even have any eye makeup on in this particular photo (only brows), but I love the way my skin looks, so healthy, so glowing, so 3D!

Of course, to complete the look, I added 2 NYX products, the NYX #No Filter Finishing Powder and NYX Two Timer Kohl Pencil Liner and Felt Tip Liner.

The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Make-Up Remover Review





The Body Shop Camomile Range is my ultimate favorite!  I haven't really raved about it a lot online but offline, I've told most of my friends and readers about it I almost act like a Camomile Ambassadress!


And recently, I saw a somewhat "newly packaged" Waterproof Eye & Lip Make-Up Remover and gave this another whirl.
