The Face Shop Nail Polish PK101 Review

I have another The Face Shop Nail Polish Review for you all and this is on PK101. It's one of the light pink gold-ish nail color that I really like on my nails because it makes them look neat :). I love how flexible it is that I don't need to worry if it matches with my outfit or even my makeup. This nail polish is the same as the other "classic" ones I have reviewed in terms of the packaging and amount of product.

swatch is true to the color on the bottle

i super love the color

so lovely to look at :)

The polish is pearl based so you see sparkles/shimmers. It's very easy to apply since it's not streaky. I only applied 2 swatches and I am already happy with how it looks. I've had this on my nails for a week now and yet there's minimal chipping so staying power commendable. One of the longest staying nail polish I have tried from TFS. No bubbles too :). It's dries pretty quickly and very easy to use so from the application until the moment it sets, it was nothing but a complete breeze. Love it!

My verdict: 4.5 STARS!!! I would definitely repurchase because I love their polishes and I recommend this to anyone who likes frosty nail colors :).

Swatches and Review: Revlon Powder Blush in Smoky Rose 09

I was supposed to do this review yesterday but I got sick so I'm doing this now instead. This makeup review is on Revlon Powder Blush in Smoky Rose. My mom gave this to me because she knows how crazy I am of this kind of shade :). 

The packaging is really sturdy and holds 5 grams of product. It comes with a small but really soft brush which I could use when I am on the road, and a pop-out mirror!  

pop-out mirror!

gives a natural pinkish flush of color :)

Revlon Powder Blush in Smoky Rose Swatch

The blush is sheer and is very easy to apply because blends with the skin really well. You can build it up to your liking and it doesn't look cakey or dry. What I love most about it is it's matte so you can use it anytime. This shade is gorgeous and is perfect for smokey eye because the color is not too intense, and suits fair to medium skin nicely. I have used this for contour too and it looked great :). This blush is versatile so you can use it for any kind of look at any time. The powder is very very fine and pressed well so there are no fall outs. Staying power is not a question as it stays on for hours. I used this blush on my FOTD: Sunset Smokey Eye post if you want to see some more pictures. I'll try to post a new picture here soon. 

So far this is my favorite blush. It's just a gorgeous color and easy to work with! I definitely recommend this blush and will repurchase in other shades. My verdict is no doubt 5 STARS!!!

If you have tried this same blush, let me know what you think :).

Eyeliner Review: ELF Brightening Eyeliner in Gilded

I did get the ELF Essential Eyeliner in another shade like I said in my previous post. I just like how the eyeliner glides on so I thought of getting a lighter color I can use on my lower water line for everyday look. The retail price is at P129.75 like the other Elf Essentials Products and you can buy them online for only $1 at eyeslipsface.com.

ELF Brightening Eyeliner in Gilded

This eyeliner just glides on smoothly like the Elf black eyeliner I reviewed last week. The product is very soft and very easy to apply on the water line. I'm not really a fan of applying dark eyeliners on my lower water line because it makes me look more mature. This shade is just right to brighten up the eye without making the eyes look loud.

It does help define the eyes and brighten the area in a subtle way. I love that it's very pigmented and it lasts for hours. It does move but it's not as obvious. Setting it with an eye shadow will make it last longer and keep it in place. I love this eyeliner because the quality is good and the price is really affordable. I give this product 4 STARS!!!

I hope you all have a great weekend! Take care :D

4U2 Dream Girl Happening Eyeshadow

4U2 Dream Girl Happening Eyeshadow

I noticed this eye shadow last week and I thought they look lovely. The problem is it doesn't say what shade it is so I can't tell you guys but I got it from Watsons for P164 and I think it's not bad. I like the packaging because it's black with pink print and it looks clean. It has 2 pretty shades in one and I think it's a good deal. The other color is like a champagne color and the other one is coral-y shade and both of them are pearl based.

I got this because I liked the champagne color for everyday use. I wear a very simple makeup when I run errands and I think this will look great. The coral shade looks pretty too so even if this is the first product I have from 4U2, I still wanted to try it. 

The shadow is not as pigmented as it is on the picture when you swatch it on your skin. I had my elf primer on so it helped make the color show up more. It's very easy to blend, it's buildable, and long lasting. The swatch on my hands didn't wear off for hours. And they look lovely! The color is very soft and makes the eyes open up more. Very ideal for everyday use.

So far I like it. They have quads too and I think their colors are also very pretty. Just want to share with you this new product I tried and I hope you all like it :). I give this product 4 STARS!!!

ELF Essential Cherry Tart Liquid Lipstick

ELF Essential Liquid Lipstick Cherry Tart  

I have another makeup review for you and this on the ELF Essential Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Tart. I have had this since December but only had the chance to open it :). Just like the other Essential products from ELF they only retail at P129.75 or $1 from eyeslipsface.com with 1.5 grams of products.

Elf Essential Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Tart Swatch

What can I say, I love ELF! There's no reason not to love them because they are quality products and very affordable. This particular color is amazing because it gives a very fresh look. It's a sheer liquid lipstick, very moisturizing, gives a glossy finish, and true to its color. It has a sponge tip and a twist bottom that releases the product. I like the packaging because it's very clean looking and not messy because you only get the product if you twist if from the bottom so it won't spill at all. It's also long lasting which was a surprise because I was expecting it to rub off easily as it's a liquid lipstick. The application is even and it's very easy to use. One great thing I like about it is the cooling effect it gives on the lips like a mentholatum lip balm. With only a few application, I can feel that my lips are a little softer. Not only that, it has a pleasant taste and smell too!

PROS:

Moisturizing
Even application
True to the color
Glossy finish
Long lasting
Nice packaging
Very affordable

CONS:

I seriously can't think of one :)

There are good variety of colors to choose from and I will surely get another one soon. This product deserves 5 STARS!!!

Avon Super Extend Mascara Swatches and Review

Mascara is one of the makeup products that I like using a lot because it makes a difference on my look. My face looks more awake and fresh when I have it on and I tend to love Avon's mascaras. This one I think retails at P420 if I still remember it right. I got it a week ago and I have constantly been using this.

Avon Super Extend Mascara

What I love about this particular mascara is it's wand. It has short bristles which makes it easy for me to coat all my lashes. I don't like huge brushes on mascaras because I tend to poke my eyes when I apply it in a hurry. If you check the photo above, the bristles evenly spaced so the application is easy and does not clump my lashes.

The photos above show how the mascara makes a difference on my lashes. My left eye has mascara on and you can see how my eye opened up and looked fresh compared to my right eye. It does make it look longer and a little thicker. It doesn't hold a curl though because it's not waterproof so if you are looking for a mascara that can hold a curl, this is not it. That's alright for me though because this isn't a curling mascara after all.

I have thin lashes but doesn't show on my photo above. The mascara really helped brighten my eye and made me look more awake. I love that it's very black and doesn't melt. I have a few Avon mascaras already and I think this is the one I like best. Although I think I can get a better mascara for the price. One thing I don't like much about it is it's a little watery. it would have been amazing if the formula was a little thicker. 

PROS:

Doesn't melt/smudge

Great wand

Doesn't clump lashes

CONS:

Price (A little expensive vs the quality)

Watery formulation

Anyway the product works and I give it 4 STARS!!!

ELF Studio Red Carpet Lip Stain Review and Swatches

ELF Studio Red Carpet Lip Tint

I wonder why I just got my hands on the ELF Lip Stain. It's been available in the market for awhile but I didn't notice it at all. I have been enjoying my Tony Moly Lip Tint and I guess I wasn't looking for a replacement because it's just so good . I was so anxious to try their tint to see if it's as good as their other products. I got this for P249.75 or you can get them from their website eyeslipsface.com for $3. 

You have the stain on the other side and a clear gloss on the other, both have sponge tip applicators. I tried using it without the gloss but that just didn't work because it dries the lips pretty bad. Below are some swatches without and with gloss.

On the second image the light was washing the color off so I took another shot. The last image shows the closest color intensity in person. It's really very red and true to its name Red Carpet :). It's nice to wear if you want to look polished even without putting so much makeup on. What I love about this tint is that it's very very pigmented! It has a creamy consistency, the color is very intense for a tint, and very opaque. It dries pretty fast and when it does it's kinda difficult to get it off. It's very long lasting that I didn't retouch the whole time I was out. The gloss wore off but the stain remained on my lips even after I ate. It transfers very very easily though so you have to be careful when you wear this. It definitely lasts longer than other lipstick, lip gloss, or my Tony Moly and Etude Lip Tints. 

This has a smell so it may put other users off. Another thing I don't like about it is that the product doesn't close very well so the gloss tends to leak which is a bummer. On another note it's still a pretty good and long lasting lip stain for the price. I like it overall only that I was hoping I could use it without the gloss. I rate this lip stain 4 STARS! Will surely repurchase another shade :).

Cute Summer Nails: The Face Shop Nail Polish PK105

I have done quite a few reviews of TFS Nail Polish so this will not be a full review but more of a swatch post. I was intending to make a review and swatches of a new shade that I got which is green but I noticed that I haven't used this one yet so I decided to do this one first to show some pictures of how cute this color is. This shade is in PK105 that retails at P99. It's a very pretty pink shade suitable for the season! Summer is not my favorite season because it's burning hot but this is the time when most people hit the beach, enjoy the vacation, and be in style (of course compared to the rainy season). I really like wearing bright colors on my nails and this is the best time to do it! 

Below are some of the photos of the nail color on my nails. I broke my nails 3 days ago **sad** so I cut it short but I think it still looks pretty nice and clean :).

Pink is my favorite color and this is one of the best pink nail colors I have used. I actually saw another pink toned nail polish when I bought the green one 2 days ago and I am excited to get my nails on them :). It's a brighter shade and more candy like. Will definitely get them this week and post some pictures after the green one so you see how cute it is. 

Just like the other TFS Nail Colors I have tried, this one is easy to apply, very pigmented, and fast drying! I love The Face Shop Nail Colors and I give this one 5 STARS!!! :D

Over the past week I got a few products I am excited to share with you all but my time is just very limited. I hope to find more free time this week for some skin care and makeup reviews. Take care guys and I hope you enjoyed this post! 

ELF Essential Lipstick in Seductive Swatches and Review

I loved the Classy lipstick so I decided to get another in Seductive. I think this shade is more suitable for my skin tone and I just LOVE IT! This is going on my favorite day lipstick list. It retails at P129.75 or $1 from their website eyeslipsface.com.

Here are some photos of me wearing the lipstick. The one right below is taken when I got home in the evening and the one at the bottom was taken the day after. On natural light, it looks very natural and that's what I love about it most. It's also very moisturizing like the Classy, creamy, and long staying. I couldn't believe the quality of this lip color because it's just very reasonable. I can't name anything I don't like about this product. It's just great! 

I give this lipstick another 5 STARS! It's very easy to apply and the color is so wearable for everyday use. There are only 3 shades available now and I hope they have more natural, nude, or orange shade. I saw on their website that they have a new color in Nostalgic and I like another one in Fantasy but I don't see that available locally yet. I'll be looking forward to more shades. 

Kindly check out my swatches and review of the classy shade too if you like Elf lipsticks. Hope you like this post and good night/good day to everyone! Take care!
