Make Up For Ever Brow Filler and Brow Definer review

 

A week ago, I attended a virtual launch of Make Up For Ever PH’s Aqua Resist brow products!  3 new brow products under this line and I am featuring the 2 pencils because I have been using and testing these ever since I got them.

Make Up For Ever’s Brow Filler and Brow Definer

Price: Php1,400 each

Available online at Lazada

I got both shades in 30 Soft Brown

Top: Brow Filler

Bottom: Brow Definer

Aqua Resist Brow Filler 

Multi-use slanted tip brow pencil with a built-in spoolie that delivers 24HR waterproof, smudge-proof wear. Ideal for patchy or sparse brows.

The pencil is thicker so it is easier to fill larger areas as compared to the Brow Definer.  This is a retractable pencil and you get pigmented brow pencil with a nice touch of wax - yes, I can feel the wax as my stubborn brow hairs are pushed in place (even upwards without issue) upon using the product.  I also like how it can “tint” my brow hairs naturally.  Check out my before and after photo below.

Watsons shoppers pick their best beauty products

 

Before I started to Blog, I remembered searching online for TOP Favorites from E-commerce sites and read reviews from various Bloggers!  That helped me so much in purchasing products that work.

A mask-proof lipstick, a tried-and-tested beauty soap and a body lotion with vitamins are some of the beauty products chosen by Watsons shoppers as their Most Loved for 2021.  

Do you know what they are?  Feel free to add these items to your cart, perfect for your self-care routine especially since we are always locked inside our homes!

 

Best Shampoo: Head & Shoulders Cool Menthol Anti Dandruff Shampoo

What's not to like about this shampoo? It cleans hair gently with a menthol fresh feeling and leaves it moisturized.  This is my husband’s ultimate favorite and I have been purchasing and repurchasing this for years!  As of the moment, I have back up bottles of around 10!

Hairstyle Tutorial: Formal Bun style

 

Happy Monday AMW Friends!

How have you been?  Did you have a restful weekend?

Since the start of pandemic + Kyle’s online classes, I don’t even know what the term restful meant (lol).  My life is scheduled every single minute, with tasks needed to be checked as the clock ticks!  Not complaining though, keeping myself busy steers my mind away from COVID-19 Paranoia.

Today, I will be sharing another new hairstyle technique that can be done by yourself and nice enough to be called a special events hairstyle with the right hair accessories!  

Looks complicated right?  Trust me, this is so easy to do!  I created a short-cut, Hairstyle 101 for dummies version!  Not really dummies, but I call myself a DUMMY in terms of hairstyling since I base everything from practice and experience.

Watch this quick video and let me know if you would try this on yourself!  Tag me on socials @askmewhats

Stay happy!

 

Aunty Carol’s Kitchen Review

 

When friends share to me good restaurant finds because they knew I need a break from cookingg daily, I felt loved!  

I cook every single day (sometimes twice a day) because I take care not only the food for our household but also our neighbor! (My parents-in-law!)  That said, it gets draining to think about the menu on a daily basis but I thank God on breaks like Sundays so I can easily order out and get inspired by the dishes I eat.

I recently tried Carol’s Chicken and Lechon Belly and it was a lovely surprise to find a gem at Masangkay!  The place where I usually order our weekend dishes.

Paella 

Bilao: Php750.00

Tray: Php1,350.00

This seafood mix Paella isn’t the version of those you eat at Spanish restaurants as this has a twist that goes well with the palate of Filipino Chinese!  On first bite, I had a bit of a “Kiampong” feel with the texture of rice and the right stickiness!  What made me enjoy this so much is how I can east this alone without the need for “ulam”.  You get a good serving of shrimps, clams, squid, fish, eggs, etc…!  

Roasted Chicken

Available in Super Quarter, half or whole

Whole: Php279.00 (Regular) Php289.00 (Spicy)

I am very very picky with Roasted Chicken.  There are so many roasted chicken available out there that promises the good flavor but always fail in texture and juiciness.

Carol’s Chicken passed my standard + MORE!  The sauce they created that comes with the chicken is a winner in my dicitionary!  I love the sauce so much I did not throw the rest away and used it on my other dishes!  Ang sarap!  You have to try to believe!  And thankfully, even with the breast part, the chicken remain juicy and plump!  I love the extra sauce that comes in a packet so you can easily pour it all over before serving on a plate and keep the chicken moist. 

SilkyGirl MLBB LipTints Review

 

Silkygirl, as a drugstore brand, has a lot of makeup products that earns 2 thumbs up from me.  One of my favorite are their Go Matte Lipcolors which I tried and tested 5 years ago (2016).  Why does 2016 seems like such a long time ago????

Ah, back to the topic.  They came up with their new MLBB Lip Tints and these are housed in not only my most favorite packaging in the world (for lip tints) - which is doe foot applicator tube.  Here’s a better news, the size is perfect for lipstick lovers.  Half the size of a regular lip tints or glosses!  

PACKAGING - CHECK! 

MLBB Liptint

This water-based lip tint is enriched with Grape juice extract and Aloe Vera extract to keep your lips smooth and moisturized all day. It also gives your lips a plumped-up effect and more importantly, it feels weightless on your lips. Available in 5 highly pigmented shades that flatter every skin tone and provide all-day staining power.

I don’t have the exact shade names but they are numbered 01, 02, 04 and 05 which I swatched them in that order from top to bottom respectively.

Based from swatches, you can see that the brand stayed true to the “tint” name.  They do appear like most tints we know but a little bit more pigmented.

Is it good?  YES!  Well, let me explain.
