Ameera Beauty Wing It! Stamp and Glide Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

 

So I recently posted on my Instagram page a quick stamp-type winged liner pen!  

I tested this for a week plus and I am finally ready to share my thoughts on this nifty “gadget”.  Yeah, I call this a gadget as I can’t believe such product was invented when I strongly remember how much difficult it was for me to practice on the wing liner technique a decade ago!

The Ameera Beauty Wing It! Stamp and Glide Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner is priced locally at Php495.00 locally distributed at BeautyScoutPH

The pen has 2 sides, the liquid linere felt tip side to draw the liner as usual and a stamp “winged shape” on the other side.

According to Ameera Beauty this product can make eyes look visibly larger, lasts up to 24 hours, waterproof and quick drying and hugs the lashline.

Sace Lady Look And Review

 

Hi Everyone!

If you follow me on Instagram (Please do!). I showed a huge unboxing of Sace Lady Cosmetics. I read positive reviews on the high quality product at a low cost and was surprised how beautifully packaged they are! After constant research, I’ve decided to give the a try knowing these have FDA Safety certification.

Here’s the company in detail as seen on their online pages:

SACE LADY insists that "everyone is the unique flower in the world, and being true to yourself is the best ever."

We support everyone to bravely pursue a life attitude by being positive, independent, and happy. Therefore, we design and provide high-quality, cost-effective beauty makeup products to help you to be more attractive and pleasant yourself，having every wonderful day. 

Since the brand wants us to BE YOURSELF, here’s me being myself in terms of testing makeup!  

TADA! 

Showing you HALF FACE Sace Lady Cosmetics.  Not bad for 18 (and more) products that costs less than Php2,000 !

Are you ready to check out step-by-step the makeup items I used to create this look?  

Sace Lady All Matte Blur Primer

Php119.00

This is a silicone-based primer that gives off a smooth and easy-to-apply texture.  Key ingredient - Dimethicone, which gives off a smooth, flawless finish.  It does fill in pores and wrinkles but it does not dry out as quickly so it is very important to apply, pat, and let it sit for a couple of minutes before you apply your foundation.

TIP:  I’d like to do my eye makeup at this stage if I am rushing, but for this particular review, I waited and it took me approximately 5 minutes for product to get fully absorbed into skin.

I am usually not allergic to Dimethicone so I have no issues letting this product stay on my skin for ours!  

Sace Lady Longwear Foundation

Php120.00

Shade: 04 Natural

Available in: Light, Fair, Light Natural, Natural, Medium and Medium Dark

NEW! K-Palette 1Day Tattoo Procast The Eyeliner

I love my K-Palette 1Day Tattoo Liquid Eyeliner so much I have used almost all their “new and newer and newest” versions.

All of them works super well!  I don’t even understand why they keep on improving, I mean, improvement will always be good but I am just amazed how Japanese technology is adamant even on makeup products!

K-Palette recently launched their Procast The Eyeliner under their 1Day Tattoo Liquid Eyeliner line.  

Aside from the change in packaging, expect a sharper tip for the Procast line.  They also come with special coating film that sticks to the skin firmly and moves freely with facial muscles - come to think of it, I tend to have my previous ones disappears on areas that tend to move (ex. Tip of the eyeliner).

Aside from that, the brad promised more vivid colors and has moisture care formula that provides hydration on skin.  

The new collection has 4 shades in total and I got 3 out of 4.

How To Apply Eyeliner

Finally, after constantly getting DM's on my IG page on how to apply eyeliner the easiest way, I created a quick and easy-to-follow video tutorial that would help you apply eyeliner quickly.  This is the fail-proof trick because I've been teaching this to a lot of my clients!  This works, you only need to keep on practicing and NOT give up!

Enjoy!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

 

Mineral Fusion Liquid Mineral Eyeliner in Valley Review

I haven't used liquid eyeliner in gazillion years!

Well, that's how I felt as I have been super comfortable going out without eyeliner lately - start of 2019 to be exact...or shall I say, when I start going to the gym and realized I love going around without makeup?  Or tamad na lang ako? hahaha

But truth be told, the liquid eyeliners I have been using on rotation are --- K-Palette and Kate.

If you checked out both reviews, they are the pen-type liquid liner!  For me, it is the easiest liquid liner packaging and most convenient to use since the brush is flexible and has a sharp tip which are the 2 ingredients to a nice winged liner recipe!

Then I saw Mineral Fusion makeup at Healthy Options and I was intrigued with their Liquid Eyeliner.

But before that, I did a little research about the brand and learned that this cosmetics brand was established in 2006 and prides in creating products that are Leaping Bunny-certified (not tested on animals meaning cruelty-free!).  Eco-friendly and free of gluten, parabens, SLS, phthalates, artificial colors and synthetic fragrances and are 100% vegetarian and most are 100% Vegan.

So if you are the type who have allergic reactions on all sorts of makeup brands you've encountered, you may want to check Mineral Fusion out!

Benefit Roller Liner Eyeliner Review

I've worked with Benefit a couple of times for workshops.  One thing you'll always hear from me is: "When will you guys come up with a liquid liner?"

They always give me back that mysterious look: "Soon".

And that "soon" came latter part of 2018.  Though it was crazy busy month for me, I had to be there to witness the unveiling of Benefit's Roller Liner Eyeliner.

Benefit Roller Liner Eyeliner

K-Palette Real Strong Eyeliner Review

I can't believe how K-Palette can keep on improving their 1Day Tattoo Eyeliner when for me, they are already one of the best in the makeup world! 

But of course, I always welcome change, and when change is for the better, who am I to complain right? 

K-Palette came up with their waterproof and better version of their Liquid Eyeliner called Real Strong Eyeliner!  And why, thank you K-Palette for always creating a Brown Black shade which I absolutely love!

The packaging is absolutely LOVE!  The best because of the soft metallic finish!  Black for Super Black and Bronze for Brown Black.

Catrice Calligraph Ultra Slim Eyeliner Pen Review

Let me ask you a question --
"Are you comfortable in applying liquid liners?"
"Can you apply liquid liner even in a moving car?"

Okay, the second question was just there to catch your attention but my answer is YES!  Thankfully, I am at this stage of extreme comfort in applying liquid liners (all types and kinds) because I do so on a daily basis!

And when I thought I've tried everything, I've chanced upon a different brush liquid liner -- it's not just slim, it's longer than most liquid liner brushes I"ve tried. 

Catrice Calligraph Ultra Slim Eyeliner Pen 

The latest trend from Asia – an extremely fine eyeliner.Thanks to the felt tip, application is simple and accurate with the Ultra Slim Eyeliner Pen. Its deep black colour is long-lasting yet easy to remove. For an extremely effective eyeliner look. Paraben free.

Sometimes I Like You, at Times I Don't....

And I'm not talking about my husband, as I love him at ALL times.  *naks*  

I'm talking about makeup of course!  I got the Holika Holika Magic Pole Eyeliner 2X through Althea just because I didn't know we have it locally at that time I ordered online.  It was sitting in my "liquid liner" box for the longest time and I can't put my finger on either I love this product or not liking it at all!  

Let me tell you more about my confusing by sharing some photos on the product itself.

When You Wish For A Marker To Line Your Eyes...

Note from AMW: This product is discontinued but you can still see this available in some stores.  Just in case, there's a Superstar DUO which cost around Php400.00 that you can try!

You may want to check out L'Oreal Super Liner Superstar.  It is a pen-type liquid liner with a marker-like flexible tip making it easy to create a line without much movement from the brush.

I personally do not have issues using ANY liquid liners to date, that because, I had enough practice for the past 10 years!  Yes girls, I've been there, I've done it!  When I was just starting out on makeup, one of the most unforgettable moment was when I poked my eye with a liquid liner brush and the whole white of my eyes turned black and I was freaking out!  (More on freaking out and forgetting the pain!)  

Consider the fact that I have steady hands, I was just too eager to line my eyes I poked the brush directly onto my eye.  That was several years ago but I can never forget that moment.

So when the Blog AskMeWhats was born, I make it a point to write thoroughly, explain everything for both amateurs and professionals, because at some point, we started somewhere.

When I saw this pen, I knew I had to write about it because this is very easy to work with.  Still scary because you have this inkling feeling of drawing your eyes using a marker pen but it's worth giving it a shot! 

Unsung Hero: K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliners

The announcement for The Unsung Heroes will never be a scheduled one.  You either suddenly discovered how important they are in your life when you ran out of it, or you'll realize how great they are when you have been going back to this product no matter how many other brands you've tried.  That said, I've found a product meant to be listed on The Unsung Heroes file, it's not new to the eyes but an additional color member was added to the family that's why I have to give this product a special space on my Blog.

The first time I get to try the wonderful powers of K-Palette REAL Lasting Eyeliner was year 2011 (oh gosh!  7 years of pure liquid lining goodness!)  Then, there were a bit of reformulation they called it POWER UP 2 years after which I felt was not necessary because these liquid liners were good enough!

But I obviously welcome those improvements and changes because there will always be something to improve!  

Then, I was one of those beaming with joy and excitement when a New shade was added in the family - Brown Black!  I am one of the few who really mix both black and brown eyeliner because my eyes are small, so using plain BLACK would be too strong while using only brown seems to be u useless!  So I was one of those who jumped into the Brown Black liner trend and have been religiously using this shade for the longest time!

Fast forward to nearing the end of 2017, the brand added another color to the family!  The NATURAL BLACK!  If you ask me, I can't seem to pick a favorite between Natural Black and Brown Black as of the moment!  But I'm happy I have more liner color choices now!

Kate Tokyo Super Sharp Liner EX Review

How does eyeliner change the way your eyes look?

SO MUCH!

Aside from fixing my brows, I make it to a point to use eyeliner whether liquid pencil or gel on a daily basis!  Well, when we're talking about "on a daily basis" meaning: "RUSH" I always opt for Liquid Eyeliner because I can easily apply them in seconds (per eye) and rush out and look like I've done huge effort in making myself look presentable.

One of the few brands I depend on when it comes to liquid liners are: K-Palette and Lifeford.  And I think after trying this particular Super Sharp Liner from the Japenese Brand Kate Tokyo, I knew this has got to be part of my top 3!

Kate Tokyo Super Sharp Liner

Php660.00

Kate Tokyo has the "normal sized" liquid liner pen called Super Sharp Liner (minus the EX) and I have tried it in the past and it works really well!

But today, I am reviewing an EX version which means, more precise, sharper and just easier for me to draw a very thin and natural line and I also use this to create "fake lashes" to make my lashes both upper and lower part appear thicker.

BLK Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeliner Review

When BLK Cosmetics launched a couple of weeks ago!  One of the few products I immediately tested are the lipsticks then their Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeliner, just because I use liquid eyeliner on a daily basis too because it helps enhance my eyes even without the need of eyeshadow.

Thankfully BLK Cosmetics offers 2 shades, Black and Brown.  The Black one could look a bit too strong for daily mom-on-the-go look so I always opted for Brown, and as you all know, seldom do you find good brown liner color that gives the right amount of intensity.

Housed in a black liquid pencil liner packaging, it has a green strip which I'm unsure if the color changes if the color of the liner is black.  I like the simplicity of the design and the logo located at the center.

BLK Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeliner Says ---

Smudge-proof, foolproof liquid eyeliner glides like velvet, delivering intense pigment that lasts all day - no need for touch-ups.

2 shades: Black and Brown

Pixi By Petra Cat Eye Ink Review

I use liners as often as I use Brow products which means - Every time I leave home!

I have tried so many liners (well I tried so many beauty products) for the past decade and I can't help but get amazed on how there's always something NEW to offer from various brands!

A must mention is from Pixi by Petra called Cat Eye Ink Liquid Eye Liner.  I assume, this is specifically made for cat-eye look lovers out there?

Pixi By Petra says ---

"This highly pigmented, waterproof liquid liner features a slanted tip, making it easy to create the perfect cat eye flick on any eye shape! The long lasting and fade-resistant formula has a non-feathering finish. 12 hours of intense colour wear."

Guerlain L'ART DU TRAIT Precision Felt Eyeliner Review

I have been using eyeliner (pencils, gels and liquids) more than half of my life!  I remember using a brown eyeliner pencil for the first time during my Senior college days and I felt so beautiful back then #lol

Because of my small, chinky eyes, lining my eyes will always be the way to go to create that complete and wide-awake look!  I know I don't wear as much eyeshadow as I used to 10 years ago but I definitely will keep that eyelining game strong at present and for the years to come.

That said, I've been using, and testing, both drugstore and high end eyeliner brands and today, I am featuring the one from Guerlain called Guerlain L'ART DU TRAIT Precision Felt Eyeliner in 01 Ultra Black.

Housed in a pen like most liquid liners, you get a clear print of the Logo of Guerlain in Gold on top of a black pen.  Very chic!

Guerlain Precision Felt Eyeliner Says ---

Elegant and trendy, this ultimate Precision Felt Eyeliner L'Art du Trait from Guerlain offers precise, clear and definite drawing to create a natural or graphic look.

With a single stroke, it offers a perfect application and pay-off instantly. Impressively efficient, its long felt tip assures an ultra-precise gesture that enables you to draw a thin line or an intense graphic eye look.

Its water resistant formula and no transfer texture lasts from day to night (8 hours).

Tony Moly Dual Stamp Liner Review

So there is such thing as a "Stamp Liner".  I actually wasn't in need of any "liquid liner" as I have so many back ups to date but upon seeing this new "fad" from Tony Moly store, I had to grab one!  Just because AskMeWhats is definitely a venue for something new (especially on skincare and makeup) so I had to share my find!

Well, it isn't that new because I got this December of last year, I'm not even sure if this product is still available in store!  Blame the OC-ness in me to finish my makeup before I open a new one.

Housed in a very simple black packaging, you wouldn't call this "boring" when you see what this pen can do!

A felt tip liner on one side a a "star tattoo stamp" on the other side.  You know you want a K-Pop look!

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!

Maybelline Hyper Ink Liquid Liner Review Says ---

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.

Essence Liquid Ink Waterproof Liner Review

I've chanced upon Essence Liquid Ink Waterproof liner when I was roaming around SM Makati Beauty Section looking for "new products" to watch out for.  This nifty product caught my attention because after looking at the tester, this reminded me so much of the discontinued Benefit Liquid Liner.

So based from performance, I call this the inexpensive dupe of the said product.

Essence Liquid Ink Waterproof Liner

Php249.00

According to Essence ---
This is the must-have eyeliner! the liquid ink eyeliner waterproof with the special fine tip applicator makes applying an accurate, black line as easy as child's play for gorgeous eyes.

Ingredients:
AQUA (WATER), STYRENE/ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ALCOHOL DENAT., ALLANTOIN, BISABOLOL, XANTHAN GUM, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE, TETRASODIUM EDTA, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, TOCOPHEROL, PHENOXYETHANOL, FARNESOL, CI 77266 (BLACK 2) (NANO), CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES).

You are So Difficult To Use But...

...the end result is precise!

I'm talking about the newest Liquid Liner from Max Factor X called the Masterpiece High Precision Liquid Liner.  This liner isn't the usual liner you've imagined!  This is unique because of...

The paddle-shaped tip that is rounded (not pointy).

L-R Front and side view of the unique paddle-tip.  This product is said to give the intensity of a liquid liner with the precision of a pencil.  Note:  The tip isn't soft though, it literally felt like plastic paddle so I'm sharing my complete thoughts and how much I dislike/like using this!



According to Max Factor X ---

The intense black, velvet formula glides on smoothly and dries quickly for chic sophistication or bold drama. The paddle-shaped tip gives you two glamorous looks in one: thick and dramatic, or fine and elegant, so you can dial up the drama to suit your look.

• Switch from thick line to thin line in a flash
• Intensity of a liquid eyeliner with the precision of a pencil
• Two looks from one versatile and easy to use paddle tip

My Kanebo Selection Colors Eyeshadow + Moisture Rouge Look

I know when it comes to makeup, there's no rules!  But at times, I actually like to use just ONE brand on major areas on my face --- like for Kanebo's case, I went for eyeshadows and lipstick from the same brand because, why not?

I recently got the Kanebo Selection Colors Eyeshadow Palette in 01 Cool Monotone and Kanebo Moisture Rouge in shade 05 Core Red.  These 2 are perfect to create a simple daytime look and can even work for night time!  

I can create so many looks in just one palette but this is the easiest and simplest way using most of the shadows in the palette too!  

Kanebo Selection Colors Eyeshadow

Php3,300.00

There are a total of 3 palettes in the newly launched collection (01 Cool Monotone, 02 Stylish Brown and 03 Gently Pink).  I got the perfect palette because this shade gives me the "oomph" without looking too made up.
