K-Palette 1Day Lash Up Silky Volume vs Silky Length First Try

It is a battle of Volume and Length today!
Well for me, someone with non-existent Asian lashes, there is no battle between the 2 as I use both every single mascara time! 

Either 2 types or Falsies!  End of discussion!

When K-Palette launched their 1Day Lash Up Mascaras locally, I immediately unboxed and tested these out!  

K-Palette 1Day Lash Up Mascara 

Available in Silky Long and Silky Volume

(Php945.00 each)

"The new and improved 1Day Lash Up mascara contains nano-sized "Powder" particles that allow you to achieve beautifully long or volumized lashes without clumps. This waterproof formula is resistant to sweat, tears, oil, and humidity. The advanced curling technology uses a unique 9-degree square-cut brush that lifts lashes all day long without the use of a lash curler beforehand."

I tried both and found the best way to use these ...well, I stay true to what I've always been doing!  Use both Length and Volume!  I prefer using separate mascaras because it gives a more obvious result!  

Thankfully, based from First Try, the K-Palette 1Day Lash Up mascaras stayed true to their claims of the ff.: 

• Does not clump.
• Weightless indeed.
• Sweat-proof
• Oil-proof (I tried rubbing my oil based makeup remover a bit and it did not remove or scather like normal mascaras)

I did a first try video and I apologize in advance if you don't see much result because my lashes are super sparse but do believe what I have to say in this video!

Ecotools Now in the Philippines

 

If you are a long time AMW reader, you would know I joined a couple of online international giveaways at some point in my life as there are so many brands I wanted to try, test and own but they are not available locally.  One of the brand is a brush brand called Ecotools.  

The first Ecotools brush set I own was year 2009 and would you believe they are still working fine after 11 long years?

Then I purchased another one from an international site and loved my Ecotools Bamboo Eyeliner Brush.  It was really the earthy tone, bamboo handle that sets the brand to where it is now.

Fast forward to several years after, FINALLY, they are widely available in the Philippines and I can't help but reminisce through my blogging journey, how I went high and low just to get a product and try them out and write a detailed review for you!

See that "kilig" happy smile?  That is legit!  I still felt the excitement up until this very day - a decade plus of Blogging!

With the pandemic, I am glad the brand launched not only physically but digitally.  Widely available in SM stores, they are also easy to purchase at Lazada, Shopee, Zalora, BeautyMNL, Beauty by freyja, Kalm Cosmetics, Beauty Bubble and Watsons.

To start off let me share to you my newly acquired Ecotools brushes.  And there's more!

Check out the Jade Roller!  This is amazing in amplifying your skincare routine!  Does it work?  Well, to shorten my answer, it really does!  But you have to really be consistent about it gently! 

If you want a good eye makeup brushes to create nice looking eye makeup, go for Ecotools 1217 Eye Enhancing Duo Make Up Brush Set.  You are technically paying for 2 brushes but you get 4 brush heads to help define, blend, smudge and just blur out your eyeshadow application!  The bristles are extremely soft and because they are synthetic hair, you can use it both wet or dry application!

If like me, you wear more base makeup than eyeshadow, please invest on Ecotools 1290 Complexion Buffer Make Up Blending Brush.  This works so well on both pressed and loose powdered makeup.  Best of all, you can use this same brush to apply your sunscreen, tinted moisturizer, foundation or concealer!  I also use this same brush to apply blush, contour, highlight powder/cream/liquids.  Basta, most sulit brush ever!

Easy Recipes from Kimbap to Shrimp Dumplings!

Over the week, I have been busy creating some "complicated-looking" dishes that are quite easy to make!  Blame it on my cravings!  I have been having cravings for both Dumplings and Kimbap so I've decided to make one myself since I have no leads on the best ones online!  

And guess what?  I ended up making 60pcs of Dumplings (not bad for a first-timer) and 8 rolls of Kimbap!  

I am extremely happy with my dumplings but I've decided to re-do my Kimbap using ingredients that are more flavorful (like Spam instead of Korean ham).  Take note, it's all in the preference, there's no right or wrong ingredients to put inside your Kimbap!
