<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you know that feeling when you really want to love a product so bad because you fell in love with the color, packaging or whatever reason it made you purchase it, but it just did not work out. Despite the consistent poor reviews given by other makeup enthusiasts, you still went ahead and bought it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really should not bother reviewing this particular eyeshadow because I already gave this to my friend last year (despite my warning), but I just can't move on from the fact that out of all the good, pigmented eyeshadows in the Etude House Look at My Eyes line, I still went ahead and purchased this, thinking that I could at least do something about this to make this work with me.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You see, I have this very unhealthy habit of gravitating towards everything that's color blue. The more rich and vibrant it is, the better. I love blue eyeshadows so much that I would even save up and buy a high end brand, just because I <strike>like</strike> love to collect one (I'm talking to you my NARS Outremer...my very first high end eyeshadow...hahaha!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't even understand it since I know that blue eyeshadows are quite hard to work with, especially for daytime (but I would use it during daytime given the chance). I don't even use blue eyeshadows on a daily basis and if ever I would use one, I would only put it on my lash line as a liner and smudge it out a little to make it quite smokey if I want to. </div>

Price:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly forgot how much this is, but I think the price range would be anywhere from P150-200 each, depending on where you purchase it. It's very affordable.</div>

Packaging:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always, the packaging of Etude House tends to be consistently cute, pink and girly, but at least they did a good job at keeping it minimalistic this time with the eyeshadows. See how pretty it is in the pan?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Formulation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is where the flaws come in. This particular eyeshadow is nowhere near buttery. It has a hard, slightly chalky texture, that picking up pigments from this with a brush is quite useless and using your finger to pick up product would only give you less than satisfactory results.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Given the price, I understand that I can't expect superior quality and performance, but because I also own other Etude House eyeshadow from this line that has good quality and performs really well, I just hoped that this particular eyeshadow would also be consistent with the rest that I have tried and still enjoy using up to now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pigmentation:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since using a dry brush would make the powder fly everywhere, making a mess on my table and my hands, I tried using this wet in hopes that it would give me better pigmentation. Unfortunately, using this wet ruined the eyeshadow (look at the "cement-like" texture at the upper left side of the pan in the picture above), making it harder for me to pick up product the next time I'm going to use it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After giving this eyeshadow a good rub with my finger, it would look like it would give me good pigmentation (as shown in the picture below), but that's where the good part ends...It applies very patchy. The rich, vibrant pigment we see in the pan automatically says bye bye as I applied it on my skin which gives a very dull looking pigment blah of nothingness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But honestly, the deal breaker for me that pushed me to just give this to my friend to play with was the glitter. I HATE GLITTER, ESPECIALLY CHUNKY GLITTER...WITH PASSION. It's not the eyeshadow's fault in the first place since I was dumb enough to know this contained glitter when I bought it, but I never expected the glitter particles to migrate everywhere on my face throughout the day. Eventhough I'm a Twilight fan (yes, I hear many sighs of disappointment...deal with it...hahaha!), not once in my life did I wish or want to sparkle like that hunky vampire we saw in the movie. Anyway, I've seen my friend use this eyeshadow too and I knew she was hella annoyed with the glitters chilling all over her face throughout the day. She keeps on wiping her cheeks, chin and even her forehead every now and then...I warned her about the glitter, but she kept the eyeshadow anyway hahahaha! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
- cute, minimalistic designed packaging (not that this matter too much)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- so many colors to choose from (they also have matte eyeshadows in this collection)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cons:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- applies very patchy (I understand that many blue eyeshadows, especially mattes, applies quite patchy, but this eyeshadow took "patchy" to a whole new level)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
- poor texture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- poor staying power</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
after LAYERING this a few times, you still get this much pigmentation. 'nuff said....Excuse the scaly arms, I had eczema on my arms at that time (I know, it was a bad idea).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Would I repurchase?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously not...BUT I am interested in trying out other colors from the Look at My Eyes line because, as I said before, the other eyeshadows I own from this collection performs really well. I would still recommend that you try out the other shades. I want to try out their matte eyeshadows from this collection, I hope they're good.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks has been one of the most reviewed drugstore lipstick since it came out a few years ago. Obviously, I haven't really thought about purchasing one until their Bold Matte line came out. Luckily, I waited for it to go on sale before purchasing this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Packaging:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
packaging is quite sleek for a drugstore lipstick, although the cap is made of plastic. the ingredients are attached on the cap as seen in the picture, but it's quite hard for me to see what's written on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scent:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took a whiff of the lipstick and my brain told me, "oh no." Although the scent of the lipstick is not strong and you can't "taste" it when it's on your lips (ladies, ya know what I'm talking about), it annoys me that the scent lingers for a few minutes, making me <strike>choke</strike> cough everytime I wear this. It has this powdery, vanilla-y, perfume-y scent that I wish they did not include in the product. I wish they just stayed scentless, like the Maybelline Watershine pure or the Maybelline Bold Mattes which I enjoyed immensely. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Out of all the pretty shades, I picked "Coral Crush". I don't know why, but I've noticed that I find myself gravitating towards peaches, corals, orange and cool toned pinks (even if it's a bad idea since I can't pull off cool toned pinks very well...but it so pretty to look at from the tube...hehehe!) from bright to pastel shades. Maybe I should find more dark colored lipstick to complete my lipstick obsessions? Maybe?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Formulation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've worn this without a lipbalm underneath and it still applied quite smoothly, given that my lips are not very dry and flaky that day. The pigmentation is good even though the color spreads out a bit patchy on my lips. It applies to a satin finish, but the color wears off like a stain on my lips after 3-4 hours (with or without eating or drinking).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
depending on the lighting, the color (on me) changes from dark orange-y coral (indoor lighting) to a bright coral like the one in the picture above (outdoor/natural lighting).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Bright matte lips are on trend right now and no matter how dry my lips are, matte lipsticks will always have a place in my heart. Unfortunately, ever since I had atopic dermatitis, I can't pull off any kind of lip product. Even lip balms are no match for my dry lips especially when my skin is flaring up. So whenever I feel like my skin and lips are in a "happy place" or at least normal in my standard, I go crazy with lippies...the bolder the color, the better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So whenever you see me posting about lip products, you betcha those days are what I consider my "good skin days".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Purchased some Maybelline bold matte lippies to try out last January and I haven't even opened these two (among many other new products that is still in their pristine condition...yeah, I'm borderline hoarder hahaha!)</div>

I think when I was purchasing this, I only saw 5 or 6 different shades in the bold matte line. I checked reviews about this in the internet and saw that in other Asian countries, they have 7 or more different shades to choose from this line (no fair!)...don't know if they have added the "new" shades here 'cause I'm not up to date anymore and I'm not in the mood to collect this lipstick line as of now.</div>

Scent:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
no detectable scent which I prefer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pigmentation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my opinion, the pigmentation is great. It is very bright with a hint of neon in it (at least in these shades I got).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Formulation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-It applies smooth on my lips which is surprising for a drugstore "matte" lipstick 'cause the ones I've tried dragged on my lips (but I still love you Wet n' Wild megalast lipcolor).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Even though it does not make my lips look chalky or super dehydrated, it is still not moisturizing enough for me to wear without a lipbalm underneath which is understandable because all matte lipstick are like that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- although this is a "matte" lipstick, other people find that this lipsticks give a very subtle satin look to the lips (which can be remedied by blotting the lips with a tissue to make it look matte). My lips are naturally dry already, so it looks matte on me from the get go. hehehe!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I don't know about other people, but I like how it stains my lips after long hours of wear. I can wear this for 6-8 hours max.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
unfortunately, when I opened the MAT 1, the tip of the lipstick was ruined. I don't understand how it happened because I made sure the lipstick was new and the seal has never been touched by anybody. </div>

I swatched this with a lipbalm underneath. It's no biggie since I'll just blot my lips with a tissue and it will looked completely matte.....if I don't wear a lipbalm underneath, this will look matte on me.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find that this is a tad more pigmented than the MAT 1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pros:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- affordable and easily accessible (Maybelline is on sale most of the time.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- decent amount of shades to choose from.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- great pigmentation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- although it is not moisturizing, it still feels comfortable to wear for long periods of time and it does not give your lips a "chalky" look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I like that it stains the lips (I can wear this as a lip tint) and it does not look patchy once the color wore off during the day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cons:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I can't think of any.</div>

I hope not everyone's tired of me doing swatches and reviews of NYX products. I just love their products because most of their products are of great quality for the price. I'm also trying to finish posting reviews about the NYX products that I haven't posted yet, so just bear with me.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a step up from their usual NYX round lipstick. From the packaging, design and formulation, this thing looks and feel way better. Of course, this has a higher price point than the former.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Current Price:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
P250-P300 depending on where you buy it and if there is a sale going on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place bought:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
digitaltraincase (they already have a personal website where you can shop premium, hard to find and makeup for professional artists online since multiply has closed down already)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at the moment, I don't see the lipstick from the black label line in stock from their online store.</div>

Packaging:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I bought this, it came with a carton sleeve with nice lace designs at the sides. The product has a good weight to it and it doesn't feel "cheap" as compared to their round lipsticks.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The colors that you see at the bottom of the tube is the same as what you see on the actual lipstick bullet so it's easier to navigate what color you want in your lipstick stash. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scent:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it has a nice, faint, fruity scent to it. It actually reminds me of a candy called Frutella.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Formulation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it glides on easily, but unlike the NYX round lipstick, it has a better adhesion/staying power on the lips to avoid feathering or smearing which I have experienced with some NYX round lipstick in the past.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pigmentation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
very pigmented especially for the bolder colors like "citrine" which can act as a stain as it wears off your lips.</div>

Just making a long overdue post about the NYX products that I have purchase in the past.<br />
<br />
<br />
Remember these? I've already reviewed the NYX Matte lipstick in Sierra in the past, so I'll just babble on with the other 2 Nyx matte lipstick hehe! Most of the description about the lipsticks are just the same with he NYX Matte lipstick in Sierra, so you can skip the descriptions and just go look for the swatches.<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Packaging:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It is longer in length than the RL (round lipstick) but the weight is lighter which sometimes make it feel flimsy although it's not. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Scent:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
it has a slight pleasant scent (in my opinion), way better than the RL's soapy smell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguRyb3vRehVzDYZ0dGtgvrPepDjiSA7k8w9N_OWr6UPSIzq6eHnVh4nKaym8Hual7jdQivqYFKvsfs-L7P6Pu62kINnF5edOOHiU4Tk-5gNaFVwT7Jhxp27RBzAVnwj0NC0FRE-ULnKaRV/s1600/094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguRyb3vRehVzDYZ0dGtgvrPepDjiSA7k8w9N_OWr6UPSIzq6eHnVh4nKaym8Hual7jdQivqYFKvsfs-L7P6Pu62kINnF5edOOHiU4Tk-5gNaFVwT7Jhxp27RBzAVnwj0NC0FRE-ULnKaRV/s400/094.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Formulation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
it obviously feels matte (duh..) so be ready to prep your lips with some lipbalm/lip moisturizer. I find that I like this even better than the NYX Matte lipcream because it doesn't dry the edges of my lips (which is a staple problem for me) even if I wear this all day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Pigmentation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
amazing! This is the reason why I love matte lipsticks because of the great pigmentation in one swipe and if you're like me who likes to purse their lips every now and then, matte lipstick is great because it also lessens the risk of it budging or feathering.</div>

I know I'm very late in the game when it comes to reviewing the latest beauty and skincare products out in the market today, but that's ok with me. Why?<br />
<br />
1. Ever since I've had AD (atopic dermatitis), I'm more concerned with the products that works for me rather than what works for the majority of people. Don't get me wrong, I still read reviews of other people about a certain product that I'm interested in, but I only read about the description of the product rather than how it performed on the user. Most of time, I even just read the ingredients in the product to know if I could risk using the product on my skin with less possibility that it will give me adverse reactions.<br />
<br />
2. I get tired of people saying that they have "sensitive skin", but they use a crapload of products that a person with "true" sensitive skin would not believe you. In general, everyone should treat their skin as sensitive because it is still a big part of our body, but the word "sensitive skin" is so abused in beauty/skincare reviews that it is getting out of hand. I guess that's the power of insensitive marketing strategy. I've been in and out of the hospital for more than a year for my immunotherapy and the amount of people coming in and out of the hospital with the same problem (or worse) as I have is ridiculously too many to count.<br />
<br />
The amount of blogs I've read with people that truly has sensitive skin are only few. So just be careful with what to believe in the internet...people rely on the references in the internet so much that everyone feels like a professional or a doctor of some sorts over night. Always ask the people who have studied and are licensed to whatever problem you have. It is also ethical to ask for their advice rather than ask Dr. Google.<br />
<br />
3. I prefer reviewing products that have passed the "hype period" because this gives me a clearer, unbiased perspective about the product I'm using. I'm also the type of person who takes their time using the product before saying anything good or bad about it. I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes, I feel like there's a rat race going on with reviewing products that are just out in the market and everyone wants to be in the "first place" of everything...it's like you have bragging rights of some sorts...<br />
<br />
4. I prefer trying the "underdog" products or things that the beauty minority usually use. Sometimes, I discover my staple products by doing this. I also feel like, I'm at least contributing a reference for people who would also like to try the same things that I have tried, but are scared to because they don't see a lot of reviews about it. Don't worry, I still use products that are very popular to the beauty community, as long as it works for my skin.<br />
<br />
5. I save more money with my purchases since I'm not following the usual "what's new" crowd and focus on what I really need or want when it comes to skincare and cosmetics. Having this kind of perspective is liberating. I guess I've found my happy place in this.<br />
<br />
6. The "organic hype" that's out in the market. It's not that I haven't used products that claims to be organic, but so far, I've had more adverse reactions with products that claims to be, or are "organic", "herbal" or "paraben free". Don't even get me started with the phrase "parabens are not good". Everything in excess are not good. It's same with all the "organic", "herbal", "plant based" hoopla that people recommend. That's why everything is formulated below the "lethal dose" or within the "standard safety margin" of a certain ingredient.<br />
<br />
I guess that's about it for now.</div>

Hello hello!!!<br />
<br />
No, I'm just here to check if my blog is still alive, and I guess it still is. hehehe!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I think it's been quite close to a year since I've made reviews and done updates on my Atopic Dermatitis situation. I honestly don't know how to start, so I'll just type away and see where my updates are going!<br />
<br />
Since I've passed the board exam and got a job right after that, I've no time to make reviews or even try new products. Another problem came up due to stress and my AD (atopic dermatitis). I'm still undergoing maintenance immunotherapy until now and I'm very glad that a month after I quit my job, I haven't had a severe AD attack until now.<br />
<br />
Why did I quit my job?<br />
first of all, for health reasons. I've been so stressed during work that I have no time to really take a rest. Hence, the frequent and severe AD attacks. Second, when I was about to plan to go back to work irregularly, I've found out that I'm going to have another baby again and I can't risk being in a very stressful environment while I'm pregnant.<br />
<br />
How about AD during pregnancy?<br />
I've asked my doctor about it and luckily, I"m already on my maintenance dose so it's safe to still continue immunotherapy while I'm pregnant. I've also read some article stating that having maintenance immunotherapy will also benefit and somewhat give immunity to the unborn child to any future allergens that my trigger AD to the offspring. At least, that is what I understand in an article I've read somewhere in the internet (I wouldn't recommend trusting the internet 100% and just ask your doctor about it).<br />
<br />
If you're planning to START immunotherapy for AD while pregnant or planning to be pregnant very soon, I suggest to wait a while longer before having a baby because it is not safe to have it all at the same time.<br />
<br />
What's up with my current skin condition?<br />
I'm still very, very choosy when it comes to trying new products on my skin and I still prefer skincare products that are either scentless or has a very faint scent. Products that has a very strong scent is already banned in my stash. This rule is the same with cosmetics that I buy.<br />
<br />
It has been months since my last AD attack (I guess I'm officially on remission, thank God!) and my skin did a 360 degrees on me again ever since I became pregnant. From my skin being very dry, flaky but blemish free, it turned into a very oily, very blemished monster. My face is currently ruined by acne scars and current acne due to hormones caused by pregnancy. Well, you can't have it all ya know. I just hope, my face survives this dilemma without creating craters after have this hormonal acne. Another bad thing about this is that I can't use my usual adapalene on my face since I'm pregnant. I just have to be patient and be brave about this until this is over. I hope after my pregnancy, my acne will go away...My acne is worse right now than the last time I've been ranting about it.<br />
<br />
Will I be making more reviews after this update?<br />
I'm not sure since I've been a very lazy couch potato ever since my pregnancy...I love sleeping even more than when I was not pregnant...oohh, what pregnancy can do for ya..haha! I can't also try products right now<br />
due to my condition, but I'll still try to post once in a while since I haven't done a single review of the products I've already used way before. I've already used up so many products that I already threw away most of them since I cannot guarantee if I can still have time to make reviews often. If I have time, I will make some, if not, then better luck next time...Oh well, that is life.<br />
<br />
<br />

Many drastic things has changed since my last blog and most of it are not good.<br />
<br />
I have been very busy since I passed the board exams (yey!) and have gotten work immediately after that (which is a blessing). Unfortunately, stress took a toll on me in a very bad way.<br />
<br />
Like most people, we get sick when our immune system is down, but unlike me, I don't get sick "the usual way" like when people just got a simple fever and flu. When my immune system is down, everything just goes downhill.<br />
<br />
I'm so sick and tired of explaining my health situation on my blog that I tend to delete my post talking about my health issues hours after I posted it. Some may have read it, most of you have not, but I'm trying one more time to explain my current situation with my illness.<br />
<br />
I have Atopic Dermatitis. Some call it eczema, skin asthma, etc.<br />
<br />
The first time I've had this was 2 years ago ( can't remember the exact date). At first I thought it was just a simple rash or allergic reaction to something I applied on my skin or I have eaten. I did not bother to consult a doctor and just take antihistamines since I only flare up rarely and antihistamines treat the allergy quickly.<br />
<br />
...And then it has gotten worse and I flare up often until it was late last year when I've experienced really bad allergies for weeks. My dermatologist gave me some hydrocortisone creams to temporarily ease my allergies and told me that I have atopic dermatitis.<br />
<br />
Even though I'm not a doctor, I have a very good background on medicine and I know steroid creams do not cure atopic dermatitis and it is CURRENTLY NOT CURABLE. You can treat or prevent it, but you cannot cure it (as of now). It is a lifelong battle.<br />
<br />
Months have passed since I've used hydrocortisone creams and still my skin flares up, I got fed up and consulted an Allergologist.<br />
<br />
I started painful allergy tests (from pollens and other allergens that may go through respiratory route), blood tests, except for food allergy test (because it is so expensive I can't afford it anymore). I've found out that I am very allergic to mango pollens, coconut pollens, cockroach, ants, acacia pollens, dust mites, etc.<br />
<br />
I've got so many allergies to so many things that are very common here in my country. So I started immunotherapy on April this year.<br />
<br />
Immunotherapy is just injecting weakened allergens to you until your immune system has created an antibody<br />
against the things that you are allergic to. The doctor told me that I could have as much as 80% immunity against the allergens and the 20% is up to me, my immune system and how I take care of my body.<br />
<br />
Everything was going great because I flare up less and if ever I flare up, the allergies that manifest on my skin is not as bad as it was before. Unfortunately, this time of year (December 2012), got sick with flu and I was so stressed with work and all hell broke lose again. My immune system was down and as a result, the weakest part of my body is always the vulnerable one which is my skin was most affected.<br />
<br />
I got bad atopic dermatitis flare up that I am still suffering now, even when I already recovered from flu and fever.<br />
<br />
The part of my body that usually flare up is my face and neck, but now, my arms, ears and even some parts on my legs are already affected and they won't go away.<br />
<br />
I've already consulted my allergologist about this and she said that it may not have been the allergens that I am allergic to that triggers my flare ups because I am already in my maintenance dose on my immunotherapy sessions, meaning that I already have antibodies on those things.<br />
<br />
Now, the main culprit is most likely stress. Stress in everything. Not just work, but also personal things. With me looking like sh*t (sorry for the term) also contributed to my stress and it has affected my self esteem and self confidence. Yes, I am stressed and depressed.<br />
<br />
So what does not blogging have to do with my explanation?<br />
<br />
Besides having a hard time treating this dermatitis that I have on my face and neck, I am having a very hard time trying out things that may not aggravate my skin issues. Products that I can use are currently limited to the point that I already gave away most of the things that I have used before that worked for my then normal skin and even the things that I haven't even reviewed here in my blog. It pains me to not have the freedom to have more options when it comes to skincare and makeup because this has become one of my major hobbies and haven to de-stress myself. Yeah, I know it sounds shallow, but for someone who has a constantly depleting self esteem and self confidence (because I am literally getting uglier by the day), I feel like I have something that I love to do taken away from me.<br />
<br />
Having said all that, I still will be trying to review things that work for my very dry, sensitive and damaged skin from atopic dermatitis. Things that may work for me may be limited, but I hope it would serve as some kind of "help" to people who are also dealing the same illness I currently have.<br />
<br />
This will also serve as a guide for me to try to find, discover and research things, products, or alternatives to steroid creams that might help many people. I know it is a futile attempt to find a solution to a currently incurable illness, but at least I try to find ways to ease the pain...I just want to be normal again.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've tried quite a few drugstore leave-in treatment even before my blogging days, just because I was lazy to apply conditioner after I finished shampooing my hair. haha! So just to save time, I apply a leave-in conditioner (when I remember to) on my hair and that's it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not that impressed with leave-in conditioners in the past because it feels sticky or greasy by the end of the day. Luckily, I saw this on display in the supermarket last March and I'm happy I bought this.</div>

<b>How do I/WE use it?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brother (he's obsessed with trying stuff that would make his hair look great) and I have used it with wet, damp and dry hair and it still performs the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually spray it on my damp hair after a shower and concentrate mostly on the ends of my hair then I spray just a bit on the scalp area and then comb my hair to distribute the product evenly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brother usually spray this when his hair is still wet, when his hair is damp and when it's already dry. A WHOLE LOT OF SPRAYS I TELL YA!!! I pretty much have to hide this from him because he's like the haircare monster. ahaha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>(Just for reference):
</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Me and my brother's hairtype</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have fine, naturally straight hair with no volume. I don't really have hair issues or bad hair days. I'm quite lucky to acquire this hairtype from my father. I don't fuss with my hair that much and my haircare only consists of shampoo, conditioner (sometimes) and a leave-in treatment (sometimes)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the other hand, my brother has a thick, wavy, unruly, but soft hair. According to him, it's really hard to manage his hair and it costs him so much just to have a good haircut and style that won't make him look like a tornado has ran over his head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His haircare consists of shampoo, conditioner, serum, MY leave-in conditioner, wax, gel, moose, hairdryer etc. you name it, he's already tried it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both our scalp tend to be oily by the end of the day, depending on the weather or our daily activities.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Scent:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the scent is amazing!! it also lasts through out the day even in our hot and humid climate. It helps my hair to not smell bad due to sweating all day. My brother (who is very athletic) also loves the smell and how it stood up through out his very busy day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Formulation:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It feels like you're just spraying a lovely scented water on your hair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It feels a bit slippery when sprayed on damp hair like a normal conditioner would, but it dries quite fast and I'm not kidding when I say it makes my hair shiny, more healthy looking. My hair feels lighter and it gives my hair more volume and it lasts throughout the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brother spray it more liberally and consistently than me so obviously, it's not sticky or greasy on your hair. He loves this so much because his hair has become quite manageable every time he uses this. He also said that his hair feels softer and he wants this for himself and buy myself a new one...yeah...siblings always do that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Any skin reactions?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
none.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Will I buy this again?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
definitely!!! then I'm going to hide it somewhere...hahaha!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember buying this on impulse, just because my husband and I were listening to Katy Perry's song, "I Kissed a Girl". We were laughing and goofing around in the car because of traffic. Then he curiously asked me if it's true that a cherry flavored Chapstick would taste like cherry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I said, "I don't know. I haven't even tried Chapstick before. Let's buy one, then I'll eat it!! hahaha!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Believe it or not, this is my very first Chapstick...I remember way back in high school (I have no clue about makeup) my first lipbalm was a <a href="http://finickypanda.blogspot.com/2010/08/review-maybelline-lip-smooth-color-w.html" target="_blank">Maybelline brand</a> and I was so happy with it that it didn't really piqued my interest to buy this lipbalm eventhough this was popular among girls in my school.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yeah...we went to the drugstore to buy one and laughed all the way home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Scent/Taste:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it really is cherry scented, BUT it is not cherry flavored...yeah, quite unfortunate when I finally got to know it's not cherry flavored. So the song is kinda misleading??? hahahaha! just joking!!! hehehe! Anyway, although it is cherry scented, sometimes, the scent makes me a bit nauseous.</div>

Color in the tube is more of a berry red.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Formulation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

when applied, it's colorless. I've layered that (in the picture) many times and it still gives no pigment. Oh well, I didn't really expect any. I did not bother to take a picture of my lip swatch because the color (if there's any) won't show up anyway. My hand is obviously way lighter than my lips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Does it moisturize my lips?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it does TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, but it's not enough to make my lips not peel.</div>

A few months back (before I went totally MIA), I've purchased some NYX products and these were one of them. I'll just start with NYX Matte Lipstick in Sierra first because I will compared this to my NYX Round Lipstick in Sierra afterwards.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Packaging:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
definitely a step up from the packaging of Nyx round lipstick, it is also longer in length than the RL (round lipstick) but the weight is lighter which sometimes make it feel flimsy although it's not. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scent:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it has a slight pleasant scent (in my opinion), way better than the RL's soapy smell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6BXIZXjl6vSifIfCM_-rx6Su9bAVca_ttprOOR1zu84WQAjRpa8Yp03kVOyo4jyW7JQc3OkwRI3z-DYrPnWtFfQIXbciHvOxjQV-cApVGjF-zhX3pfCVaKJ9XgJBYkLcPnEkcyH2mH8Zx/s1600/094.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6BXIZXjl6vSifIfCM_-rx6Su9bAVca_ttprOOR1zu84WQAjRpa8Yp03kVOyo4jyW7JQc3OkwRI3z-DYrPnWtFfQIXbciHvOxjQV-cApVGjF-zhX3pfCVaKJ9XgJBYkLcPnEkcyH2mH8Zx/s400/094.jpg" height="207" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Formulation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it obviously feels matte (duh..) so be ready to prep your lips with some lipbalm/lip moisturizer. I find that I like this even better than the NYX Matte lipcream because it doesn't dry the edges of my lips (which is a staple problem for me) even if I wear this all day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pigmentation:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
amazing! This is the reason why I love matte lipsticks because of the great pigmentation in one swipe and if you're like me who likes to purse their lips every now and then, matte lipstick is great because it also lessens the risk of it budging or feathering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NYX ML in Sierra applied sparingly (in dabbing motions). It's just like MLBB shade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tip:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you find a matte lipstick that looks chalky when you swipe it on your lips, it is better to apply it in dabbing motions to create an even look (you should put on a lip moisturizer first before doing this). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find that, sometimes, people would just complain about something so small like that and just throw or ditch the product without making an effort to make it work to their advantage. There are other ways to apply/or use a product ya know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

NYX ML in Sierra full on application</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, the comparison to my NYX RL in Sierra</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPl2GKlvqUxfNkGQJQwqP-77hj4b9KdUdTgqoipc5nLWw7pTf2Ts50zTRRdI4iAXXlMtBA3DlJqr4f0q0HWbvpC9geqqYNTJz1u8yXUbk7NLbY1xJfY0HDB7bmcfwNstMX4frJfehzCDiT/s1600/083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPl2GKlvqUxfNkGQJQwqP-77hj4b9KdUdTgqoipc5nLWw7pTf2Ts50zTRRdI4iAXXlMtBA3DlJqr4f0q0HWbvpC9geqqYNTJz1u8yXUbk7NLbY1xJfY0HDB7bmcfwNstMX4frJfehzCDiT/s400/083.jpg" height="305" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Honestly, I was on the fence on getting the NYX ML in Sierra because I though the shade would just be the same like the RL one, but I'm obviously wrong.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NYX ML in Sierra has a brownish, slight reddish undertone unlike the RL which is more on the brown side with a bit of peachy undertone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
if I were to choose, I'd go for the NYX Matte lipstick in Sierra than the RL because it's more wearable for me and the formulation and scent is way better.</div>

It may look like a shimmery bronzer in the pan, but trust me you'll love this as a blush, especially if you're on the medium, warm skintone. Since I'm sickly/sallow pale brown (yes. pale, but brown) most of the time, I grabbed the opportunity to try this out, thinking it would make my skin look healthy at least...and I was not disappointed. Kudos to me, I trusted my "INKSTINKS" (INSTINCTS) this time. hahaha!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at first glance, it just looks just like a shimmery bronzer, but on my cheeks, it looks amazing as a blush. I use this if I want a healthy flush of color on my cheeks without going for the usual matte red, pink or orange. I never did use a strong color on my cheeks anyway since I usually do either a bold lip color or a bold eyeshadow color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pros:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-applies smoothly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-very pigmented.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-affordable and readily accessible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-gives you a healthy glow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-lasts long on my cheeks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cons:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strike>-I don't think it will suit people with very pale skin.</strike> It will, but you have to be very light handed when applying this blush if you have very pale skin. (updated: April 23, 2014)</div>

Besides that fact that I'm saving up for more important things, I'm becoming more picky when it comes to trying out products...comes with age?<br />
<br />
I've always been eyeing NYX soft matte lip creams since its first launch last year (I think). I just never got around in purchasing them because I've read mixed reviews about it, but since there were so many online sales going on last Dec. 2011-Jan. 2012, I grabbed the opportunity to try the lip creams myself AND buy some more NYX stuff besides these lip creams (yes, reviews and swatches to follow).<br />
<br />

It was hella crazy!!! So I only got 2 colors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Packaging:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- the cap is rubberized, same feel as what NARS packaging have.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- It doesn't feel and look cheap when you see it first hand. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Place bought:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">online at Digitaltraincase (link on the side bar)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How much:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">at that time it was sold on sale for P250. I think you can still purchase it for P250 if you order during their pre-order period.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before I do my usual swatchfest, I'll just give an outlined review about these lip creams.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Texture/Consistency:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- it has the consistency that's the same as a cake frosting. It has a lightweight, creamy almost mousse-y texture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pro:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- affordable and easily accessible since I've seen so many online sellers sell Nyx products nowadays.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- smells good</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- nice, wearable color selection that can be worn by a wide range of skintones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- feels nice on the lips upon application.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- love the colors. Most of them are very wearable for daytime.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cons:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- dries my lips (especially the outline of my lips) after 30 mins. or so.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- it's not as long lasting like a regular matte lipstick, at least for these nude shades. I've gotta try the darker shades and see if it lasts much longer than the nude ones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- color fades unevenly on my lips.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- accentuates the lines and dead skin on my lips.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- slips and slides on my lips upon application.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes, I think of these lip creams as a hyped up product that's why it's better for me to experience a product first hand to know if what other blog reviews say is true or it's just an exaggeration.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I don't know why I haven't blogged about this sooner, besides me being a bit forgetful and lazy. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it's also very usual for people who do reviews to forget to blog about things that they love to use almost everyday than the things that they don't usually use that much. Very ironic, I know.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I think, I bought these early last year when they were still introducing this as one of their new products in Avon lip products line. At that time, it was more or less P200. Now, their current price as of this January 2012 is P375 (regular price). I just don't know how much these are when they are on sale, but I would recommend purchasing these when they are on sale which happens quite often. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You can watch out for their latest sales in their online brochure in their website.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.avon.com.ph/">www.avon.com.ph</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Avon Glazewear Clear Lip Gloss and Avon Glazewear Intrense Lip Gloss</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Place bought:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Avon "office" branches</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">To tell you the truth, I signed up for a membership to be an "Avon Lady" in the past. Ya know, people who sell Avon products and such. Since I don't have a gift for sales because as I said before, I am a wimp, I signed up for their membership just to have greater discounts on their products which gives me bigger savings. So whenever there's a sale, sale price + my membership discount = cheaper price and bigger savings.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Unfortunately, since it was taking a very, very, very long time for them to process my membership ID, I decided not to renew my membership w/ them. I'm quite disappointed with how they manage the processing of membership, etc. I hope they improve it soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Current Price:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">As of January 2012, it's P375 (regular price)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnH0pi-jrbdwEO6T4AOKzM7XnPV4lQ_OYKTUZ9q7GhZphIjW0Bex1nQ3veeFUHqDubrF60I-gjMbtZsI7KSRv6bs5uUv9EJg6sdbweeLfFHohUscLkV_yWy0LSOb09D0W-79ESWS-MZCnP/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnH0pi-jrbdwEO6T4AOKzM7XnPV4lQ_OYKTUZ9q7GhZphIjW0Bex1nQ3veeFUHqDubrF60I-gjMbtZsI7KSRv6bs5uUv9EJg6sdbweeLfFHohUscLkV_yWy0LSOb09D0W-79ESWS-MZCnP/s400/011.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>top to bottom: Clear, Honey, Crimson, Rich Rose, Cherry Liqueur</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At that time I bought these, there are a total of 6 varieties of these lip glosses, but I only bought 5 of them except for the "Buttered Rum". Currently, I think "Honey" (2nd at the top) is already discontinued bec. I did not see it included in their online brochure.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Scent:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can only describe the smell as a cross between caramel-y and vanilla-y candy smell. It smells pleasant and it is not overpowering.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Texture and Consistency:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When looking at it, it looks like it has a gel-like consistency. The texture of these are AMAZING. it is not sticky or runny and it last longer than a normal lip gloss. It feels very comfortable to wear bec. it does not dry my lips at all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is like a hybrid of a lip balm and a lip gloss. You should try it to believe it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Swatch:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbW45arfz1cYvzlScA6VEi1j4K80HnIshJF8VbO3CwMAzvVhvp93But9W5Bo7oCVOWq0K8F7OYcHymByfV1Ft43yPoOLVHaOFG4FF2A7PNcXA9TTviiC1k21_1lbnDSO3U5bE6lnyJIvjs/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbW45arfz1cYvzlScA6VEi1j4K80HnIshJF8VbO3CwMAzvVhvp93But9W5Bo7oCVOWq0K8F7OYcHymByfV1Ft43yPoOLVHaOFG4FF2A7PNcXA9TTviiC1k21_1lbnDSO3U5bE6lnyJIvjs/s400/002.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was really surprised with this bec. it really moisturizes my lips even when I'm not using a lip balm underneath. Its moisturizing ability last for quite long time too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Pro:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- affordable</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- versatile (can be used on top of a lipstick or on its own w/o appyling lip balm underneath)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- great moisturizing ability that lasts for quite a long time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- has spf 15</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- feels very comfortable to wear.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Cons:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- If you don't want to stain the doe foot applicator when using this lip gloss on top of a lipstick, you have to use a separate applicator on your lips. I realized this too late when I saw my stained doe foot applicator. (refer to the picture above)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Avon Glazewear Intense Lip Gloss</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This line of lip glosses has the same moisturizing texture and consistency like the Glazewear Clear lip gloss. The only difference is that this is pigmented...really pigmented...hence, the name "INTENSE".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Comment:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I would describe these lip glosses as a bit of a lip balm, lip gloss and a liquid lipstick hybrid because it doesn't dry my lips, it has the shine of a lip gloss and the pigmentation of a liquid lipstick.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Pigmentation:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">AMAZING. very pigmented. You only need to dab a few dots on your lips and spread it either with your finger or a lip brush and the color still stands out. I can still go crazy and apply it full on your lips with the doefoot applicator for a very opaque and glossy finish. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Depending on how "intense" you want it, you could apply sparingly for a natural, healthy looking lips or apply liberally for an opaque, glossy finish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Lasting Power:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I would say 2-3 hours (w/o eating or drinking) which is amazing for a "lip gloss". If ever you're going to try these soon, note that when the pigmentation starts to wear off, it gives you a natural colored looking lips, like you've just applied a tinted lip balm on. As a result, still great looking lips!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
This is a life saver for me. Everytime I have dry, chapped and flaking lips, I would always reach for this. A thing I don't usually do to other lip products.<br />
<br />
One of the reasons why I took a break at lip swatches of my lipstick collection is because I really had a bad case of dry lips that it tends to flake especially at the outline of my lower lip and it really looked very ugly. I also noticed that since my lips were very dry, the lines on my lips increased...really horrible.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to take a picture of my very dry, chapped lips before using the TFS lip care cream because, honestly, I wasn't expecting anything amazing or special about this lip treatment. What I only desperately needed and wanted was something good enough to moisturize my lips...<br />
<br />
I only got the chance to take a picture of my ugly lips on the 1st month of using TFS lip care cream...<br />

I'm always anemic so there's nothing new about my sickly pale, gray lips.</div><br />
...and yes, even EOS lip balm, Chapstick (haven't reviewed) and Burt's Bees lip balm (haven't reviewed this yet) couldn't remedy that problem. I'm not saying that EOS, Chapstick and Burt's Bees lip balms weren't good, it worked just average to me and it really did not give me what I needed.<br />
<br />
This underrated, unpopular lip care cream really surprised me. It performed with flying colors!!!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Place bought:</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Face Shop (Sm North Edsa)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Current Price:</div><div style="text-align: center;">P265 (very affordable especially for the amount that you're getting in one tube = 13ml)</div><br />

Number 1 is their Vitamin C variant which I also bought as a backup because I love it so much.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3szWr3KyYDr6GYal_MWv60T1eiWBMbyd0qfYcr2vVYOVj6F_ojmhNq5nr2Fgcy-dYTOA6S4D94FJX_O1Rl-AkBQDGiNtOcCfU4ZDE-OoiyisItcLiwhYuz9M9hf-WmzHFE-zIHDSB2s33/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3szWr3KyYDr6GYal_MWv60T1eiWBMbyd0qfYcr2vVYOVj6F_ojmhNq5nr2Fgcy-dYTOA6S4D94FJX_O1Rl-AkBQDGiNtOcCfU4ZDE-OoiyisItcLiwhYuz9M9hf-WmzHFE-zIHDSB2s33/s400/003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I not totally convinced if this thing really is straight up Shea Butter in a tube, but it looks like the color of shea butter while the Vitamin C variant looks like a clear light orange cream.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Smell:</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't know the real smell of a true shea butter, all I can describe is that this smells like caramel candy. Doesn't really bother me, since the smell isn't overpowering and it only lasts for a few sec. to a min. Best of all, I can't taste the scent of the product like some other lip products out there that smells so strong, you can taste the scent of it. It can really make me gag after a few mins.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I haven't opened my Vitamin C one, but I smelled the tester in the store and it smells like an orange fruit candy. very sweet smelling, but again, I prefer products that I put on my skin to be scentless/fragrance free 'cause I have really sensitive skin.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Formulation:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">not sticky and feels like a light moisturizing liquid balm. It also feels very smooth on the lips.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">**Tip: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">sometimes I put on more than enough to soak my lips with the lip care cream then I massage it in after a few mins. to remove the flakes and other dead skin cells. It really gives me a "very smooth feeling" lips. It's like my very gentle lip exfoliator minus the abrasive particles. Works really well for me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is only one CON for this product:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">it's the packaging.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW1lgggWbtKyUWye3ROkjTJvbwLXi8aYcwMPrCpb1kBKrK2uGaFyjDuYFEvp-sWuoiNgdLQ9KzZLra8igjvaTgLGbYRJnHR2HfY1Wx9LnAz9Sgl05UhAXmNAqZlwIrfp_1fLtywKPLT3lA/s1600/001+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW1lgggWbtKyUWye3ROkjTJvbwLXi8aYcwMPrCpb1kBKrK2uGaFyjDuYFEvp-sWuoiNgdLQ9KzZLra8igjvaTgLGbYRJnHR2HfY1Wx9LnAz9Sgl05UhAXmNAqZlwIrfp_1fLtywKPLT3lA/s400/001+%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After using this religiously every night for 7 months, the packaging seems to have "cracked" on the side. I've seen a review also complaining about this. This may happen to you too especially if you're like me who likes to squeeze the tube from the bottom-up like a toothpaste.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh well, it's quite annoying sometimes, but I'm almost finished with this anyway. I'll even cut this and scoop out the remaining product inside then transfer it to another container because for me, it's really THAT GOOD.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
I went straight to Digitaltraincase's booth to check out NYX items first hand, for the first time. It was also my first time to see Sol (the owner of the shop) personally, though I did not introduce myself anymore because I'm a wimp hahaha! and she and her BF? is kinda busy at that time too.<br />
<br />
I was originally planning on purchasing the NYX lip creams, but at that time, most of the colors I would purchase were out of stock. I just got 3 powder blushes since I haven't hauled any NYX products for a while now.<br />
<br />

<br />
2 consecutive reviews about cleansing creams...I guess, I'm catching up.<br />
<br />
I really have to catch up since I already have finished up this cleansing cream from The Face Shop 3 months ago!!! hahaha! Yes, I'm currently using the Ponds cleansing cream already. (^_^)v<br />
<br />
I bought this during the last months of last year. I remember using this for approximately 6-8 months. It's hard using up a huge tub of cleansing cream ya know! but I'm a trooper and finished it all up anyway.<br />
<br />

I'm using a product from Pond's?!?! I'm even surprised myself...<br />
<br />
I'm not really a fan of Pond's products. It's not that their products are not of good quality. It's just that their products doesn't work on sensitive skin like mine.<br />
<br />
I already had 3 mishaps with their products in the past. I guess I got fed up even trying their new ones.<br />
<br />
First mishap: Used a Pond's toner (pink one) and it stung mah face like a son of a B!<br />
<br />
Second mishap: Used a Pond's toner (yellow one) and mah face went berserk. My face literally immediately broke into hives...it's like I was having measles. It freaked me out. I have to use some anti-histamines just to calm my allergy.<br />
<br />
Third mishap: Used their Facial wash (the "carbon"/black one). After washing my face with that, my face went itchy and red.<br />
<br />
So yeah, I got fed up...<br />
<br />
But why, oh why, am I so stubborn to try another Pond's product again!?!?!<br />
<br />
First, I thought that maybe the local Pond's product (manufactured in a neighboring Asian country) do not work for me (FYI, almost all products that is locally available in the Phils. is manufactured in other Asian countries. Maybe because it's cheaper to mass manufacture in those countries? I don't know)...Maybe the imported ones (made in Canada or US) have different formulation...<br />
<br />
Second, I'm just stubborn that way.<br />
<br />
What is my verdict with this "cold cream"?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Pond's Deep Cleanser and Makeup Remover</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY7a_OG_S-lb9Jvv956Z4PqX2yb6BSPGhFZPDijMCiXF-hD1tIiZ4Wtwn9D2zlGskZQHS0FVJXG9mxBf3L_PwtEygyvc1cy80q4Lx9Gz1ldbHX6CMlvLy5g7plFi9Pp-0nAyPf1m_EdkKW/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY7a_OG_S-lb9Jvv956Z4PqX2yb6BSPGhFZPDijMCiXF-hD1tIiZ4Wtwn9D2zlGskZQHS0FVJXG9mxBf3L_PwtEygyvc1cy80q4Lx9Gz1ldbHX6CMlvLy5g7plFi9Pp-0nAyPf1m_EdkKW/s400/001.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is not the "cold cream" that is usually available in our local supermarket or Watsons. I was right when I guessed that the Pond's products that are available here have different formulations than the ones imported from the US or Canada...the question is why??!?! This formulation is actually hard to find. You can usually purchase this Pond's cold cream (Made in US) from supermarkets that caters more on imported products like S&R, Cash and Carry, etc.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Place I bought this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">S&R</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Current Price:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">P499.95...in short, it's worth P500. Yep, surprisingly expensive. But I guess, the actual amount that you get is worth it for the price. Since this is a HUGE tub.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Formulation Comparison (Local and Imported):</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The cold cream that I have feels more like a light lotion compared to the ponds cold creams that are available locally (my mother owns the local version of the Ponds cold cream) which have a creamier consistency.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Comment:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pros:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- This cold cream does an amazing job in melting away makeup. It actually surpassed the performance of my other cold cream that I have used in the past including my favorite which is the Skinfood Cleansing cream that I reviewed in the past.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- melts away my makeup in just seconds.

<br />
I bought many stuffs from Nature Republic today because I can't wait for the weekend to visit.<br />
<br />
All was ok until My. Panda and I were having our snacks.<br />
<br />
I saw the receipt that was stapled to the paperbag of my purchases GONE.<br />
<br />
Then I remembered when I was in the crowded entrance of the mall for bag checkup, the lady behind me was very close to me. I don't know if she's pushing me around since I'm taller than her.<br />
<br />
but the fact is, I don't like strangers being physically close to me because I'm already traumatized by what happened to me last 2 weeks ago.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I was irritated and puzzled at why she grazed her hand twice at my back so I arrange all my things in front of me just to be sure and gave her THE EVIL LOOK.<br />
<br />
After that I saw my paperbag open. Luckily, not one of my purchases got stolen.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the receipt that was stapled to the paperbag was gone. I couldn't find it anymore.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't really mind if the receipt got lost, but I need it for review purposes.<br />
<br />
How am I suppose to inform my readers about the price of the product I'm reviewing if it's already lost?<br />
<br />
So if ever I'll be reviewing Nature Republic products next time, I won't be able to tell you the exact price of each product. Just the approximate.<br />
<br />
and a piece of advice:<br />
<br />
WHEN YOU'RE OUTSIDE, BE ALERT. PROTECT YOUR THINGS AND YOURSELF FROM THIEVES. THEY WILL STEAL ANYTHING.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here is my haul. I can't state the exact price of these anymore since I already lost the receipt just a few mins. after I purchased these. (I won't be going back to the store anytime soon to check on the prices)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPb5PVxBmgpjWNH_WDrtJLkpwdUeQj3IoUazOpFHHfJ3SMmP_XStPq3VjSWK9iDSfDo4XRagewQBYNMLWYO7L14kmcfzl0jOsvGgqNEgDsx-9X2NpJ1sG-vRu6QUwxEXviyDFaLhxo47fA/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPb5PVxBmgpjWNH_WDrtJLkpwdUeQj3IoUazOpFHHfJ3SMmP_XStPq3VjSWK9iDSfDo4XRagewQBYNMLWYO7L14kmcfzl0jOsvGgqNEgDsx-9X2NpJ1sG-vRu6QUwxEXviyDFaLhxo47fA/s400/002.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">my purchases are on the right side of my box cartoon character and the freebies that were given to me is on his left side.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The saleslady also gave me their 10% discount card. (I forgot to take a picture of it) It also serves as sort of my membership card because I've accumulated P1000 worth of products in a single transaction. So everytime I but something from Nature Republic, I already have 10% discount out of my orders. Nice idea to boost sales...hihihihihi!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Good thing I never got the mini standee of their male model who represent this brand. I would only use that for target shooting...I mean, why would I want a cardboard action figure? Funny thing was, I heard the Chinese customers behind me at the counter debating and maybe mocking a bit (in chinese)...they wondered if the model was a girl/gay because he looks like a girl...unfortunately, I understood their language...poor guy, tsk tsk tsk. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Feminine looking guys are a "norm" in some Asian countries nowadays since the "anorexic look" became popular, if they haven't noticed that by now. Honestly, those guys are not my cup of tea, but as they say, "different strokes for different folks."</div><br />

I go there almost every week, by the way.<br />
<br />
I was just roaming around the mall with my family after doing some groceries and viola! I looked up from the main floor and saw a NATURE REPUBLIC FLAGSHIP STORE at LEVEL 4 of SM THE BLOCK just across WADE STORE.<br />
<br />
I was like, WHAT?!! WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS LAST WEEK WHEN MY SON WHEN TRICK OR TREATING?!?!<br />
<br />
So I literally dragged Mr. Panda up the escalator to the Nature Republic Store...It seems like they just opened their store this month because they are still having some promo or something. I was not planning to buy anything so I did not purchase FOR NOW. I just looked around and I'm very happy to tell ya'll that their price range is just the same as Etude House.<br />
<br />
I remember seeing some of the SKINCARE line that are priced approximately for less than P500!! Of course the other premium products they have are priced a bit higher than that.<br />
<br />
And because I'm a lip product fiend, I'm more interested in their lip products and saw the Petite Rouge for only approximately P250!!!<br />
<br />
I also love their packaging!!!<br />
<br />
Their most affordable nailpolishes are priced at P65!!! The packaging looks like a Paul&Joe dupe...clean looking, elegant and feminine, but not over the top.<br />
<br />
BUT!!!! I'll give you some heads up about what I've observed in the store:<br />
<br />
------ Since the store is still new, some of the sales ladies are still not that well informed about their products, so if you're going to buy something, research it from the internet. Less hassle and no awkward moments with the new SA. Let's give the SA's a chance to get to know their products more.<br />
<br />
I asked a SA awhile ago about one of their lip and cheek products because I happen to find the lack of variety in colors. (I already own almost all of their lip and cheek products, so I know!!!)<br />
<br />
I asked her if there is only one color available for the lip and cheek product that I'm interested in and she said, "yes!". I asked again, "When will the other colors be available?" Then she looked at me, puzzled at my question, and said there is no other color except the one on the shelves and she did not know there are still other varieties available for that product. Then I slipped and told her, "I already have almost all the colors of that product, so I know.".............then, I did not know who was more embarrassed. Her, for not knowing or me for being very UNCONSCIOUSLY straightforward.<br />
<br />
To the SA who accompanied me today, I'm so sorry. I did not mean to sound rude. I promise to make it up to you next time I visit. I already know what to purchase so you won't have a hard time convincing me. v(^_^)v<br />
<br />
I'm proud to say that I've never been rude to salesladies eventhough I'm cranky or the SA is a bit rude. So I'm sorry about what I said.<br />
<br />
------Expect to be followed around by the SA. They will talk nonstop and encourage you to buy some of their products. Have patience and turn down a suggestion nicely. Eventhough you're starting get a bit annoyed.<br />
<br />
------Not all products will be available to us here in the NR Philippine stores acc. to the SA. So if you want something and can't find it here, just purchase from our trusted, friendly online stores.<br />
<br />
------Last, but not the least, enjoy browsing!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
***I know this is off topic but, I also passed by The Etude House store awhile ago, the lady guard already know my face so she smiled at me and I smiled back and waved at her. That really made my day because they really make a genuine connection with their customers! (^_^) I feel really at home in that Etude House branch...really ironic since I don't like pink...hahahahahahaha!<br />

<br />
The lighting is also inconsistent on most pictures because I only used natural lighting this time. I also took a lot of pictures of the packaging of this palette because I really appreciate the effort and the design that was put into this product and of course, the good quality eyeshadows, blushes and bronzer that is in it.<br />
<br />
This palette is not new in the market anymore and I don't know if they still have this in Sephora.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Place bought and Price:</div><div style="text-align: center;">I bought it online when <a href="http://www.facebook.com/getsophisticated.onlineshop">Lin Lin (getsophisticated) facebook page</a> decided to do a sale a few months ago. The markdown prices were insane!!! If I remember I got this for approximately P1600.00 from the original price of approximately P2200. Great deal indeed!!!!! The freebies she gave me were amazing, btw... (^_^)v</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">General review of the product:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pros:</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Pigmentation are inconsistent with each product, but all products have a smooth, velvety texture/feel to it when I swatched it on my skin.</div><div style="text-align: center;">- price (I got it on sale)</div><div style="text-align: center;">- packaging is amazing. You can that every detail was well thought out and is consistent with the concept. It is kawaii without being tacky looking. Maybe overloaded with designs, but it is not an overkill.</div><div style="text-align: center;">- packaging can be recycled and used for other stuff.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Cons:</div><div style="text-align: center;">- not yet readily available in the Philippines.</div><div style="text-align: center;">- regular price is expensive.</div><div style="text-align: center;">- again, pigmentation is not consistent. Ninja Dog, in particular, is a disappointment.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Product dupe:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I was starting with makeup, I bought a Fashion 21 eyeliner pencil in blue (I gave it away to my sister since I'm using higher quality eyeliners already, so I can't show you the product, sorry.) The Fashion 21 eyeliner in Blue is the exact dupe of this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They both have the same matte texture, same length and same "crayon" hardness ( I have to warm it a bit before I use it).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> The difference they have is that the Fashion 21 eyeliner smudges a tad less and stay put on my eyelid longer than the WnW one, Fashion 21 eyeliner is cheaper (P89.00) and it comes with a smudger on one side of its pencil tip, but WnW eyeliner is a tad more pigmented than the Fashion 21 eyeliner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pros:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- price is very affordable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- good for those curious people who are just starting with makeup.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- this eyeliner pencil is longer than your regular eyeliner pencil in the market.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cons:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- smudges easily.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Swatch:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfpNRP8ZrRjdEfgrGx6xdBDM4Fdt4tlv3YYjWAwO5fPCnLcb1byZ7Btf1IMiQsZHqI4Oye3qiXV0YmSqFEd5O1KH5lkbwOK1Uwb6YegHBIY-8903yR273Ksx_RPq0aAXvjsR9W-Rn8WRA/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfpNRP8ZrRjdEfgrGx6xdBDM4Fdt4tlv3YYjWAwO5fPCnLcb1byZ7Btf1IMiQsZHqI4Oye3qiXV0YmSqFEd5O1KH5lkbwOK1Uwb6YegHBIY-8903yR273Ksx_RPq0aAXvjsR9W-Rn8WRA/s400/003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I actually like this color, unfortunately, the quality is also mediocre, but if I were to choose between the coloricon and this, I would choose this.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Comparison:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfG-89AX2PJllrIxjp1bCPhRIuGEVvZlED1h7oLoFuGnR7Pzr03m1illZkEXGXCM7VRCbMsjxRw7BAujb-k533L971L9kMHPnZ_EidxGeym6FC7JCwWNpwOoWK92DQDoSdP3Dd79UmGLg/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfG-89AX2PJllrIxjp1bCPhRIuGEVvZlED1h7oLoFuGnR7Pzr03m1illZkEXGXCM7VRCbMsjxRw7BAujb-k533L971L9kMHPnZ_EidxGeym6FC7JCwWNpwOoWK92DQDoSdP3Dd79UmGLg/s400/004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Color and Pigmentation:</div>The WnW coloricon in Deep blue and the Megachrome in Cobalt blue is just about the same color. The only difference is the texture of both eyeliners, with Coloricon as matte and Megachrome as metallic. In terms of pigmentation, the megachrome is more pigmented in one swipe than the coloricon and is easier to apply because it is a tad creamier in consistency.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">"Smudgeability":</div><div style="text-align: center;">- As you can see in the picture, the Coloricon failed the test in flying colors...hahaha! I only swiped my fingers ONCE on both swatches.</div></div>Panda Eyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03189950983934508221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360653734329762646.post-20441542197022109182011-10-07T10:57:00.000-07:002011-10-07T11:01:10.644-07:00My Honest Perspective on Beauty Products Nowadays<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;">Yep! long time no post. I know that I have not been blogging or reviewing products as much as I used to anymore, even though I have lots of time to blog. It's just that, during my hiatus, I've successfully curbed my appetite from purchasing new beauty products. Don't get me wrong, I love beauty products especially makeup (anything related to color) and this love will never go away. In fact, I'm still up to date with what's new and what have improved with different kinds of makeup and skincare products from different brands all because of reading reviews, watching youtube and observing different beauty boutiques and dept. stores...Ah! the power of media.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But as my knowledge with anything related to beauty products grew, I've realized that I'm becoming more "tamed" in purchasing things that I will use. Most of the time, when newbies in the beauty world try new things, we tend to buy this and that simultaneously without thinking thoroughly if the products is even worth the money, if the product is dupe-able, if the product is just a hype. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We usually don't care about that when we were beginners. We just want to satisfy our hunger for cute, colorful, expensive looking, fine smelling products. For me, that's normal for every newbie to feel that way and I think by going through that stage, we learn more about what we want from the product, what we will most likely use for a long time, what product are of really good quality, a piece of crap or just mediocre.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do I regret buying all those things? NO, I actually enjoyed the journey of gaining knowledge through my mistakes and because of that, it has been much easier for me to decide if the product I'm going to buy is worth the risk and money or not with just looking at it and listening to what my gut tells me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes I can't help but grin at some makeup products that were launch as "the new color of the season" or "the new miracle product" because by looking at some products I've seen recently, they're almost the same, but with just a different, modern or cute packaging. I'm actually more impressed by the designer of the packaging rather than the product itself...it's also shocking that I've observed most of these "<strike>recycled</strike> products" are from high end brands, but with a different name. Example, a blue eyeshadow was named "A" then after a few season they will name it "B" or a brand will launch a new color or texture of lipstick, and the other brands will copy the same color and texture of lipstick, but with their own different packaging and different price range. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It has become redundant (like what I'm writing right now). A trend...and to us, who loves to review products (in a brutally honest way) it has become a bit of a bore.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nowadays, I've only seen a very few brands that have really improved their products throughout the years. They've really stepped up a notch and we, the demanding consumers, appreciate it greatly. I hope more brands will continue to amaze us with the quality of their products because hyped products never go very far, but quality products do. (no brainer)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That's rather a bit of a disadvantage when you've already learned so much, it's hard for you to be impressed or be wowed by the "new product" of the season, but it is also an advantage because you know what you want and what is worth your money or not.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Will I still do reviews in the near future? yes, but not as much as I used to. </div></div>Panda Eyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03189950983934508221noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360653734329762646.post-79243623348488909272011-09-23T08:28:00.000-07:002011-09-23T08:30:37.727-07:00Etude House Look At My Lips Contest + Pre-Holiday Sale + Job Opening (Philippines only)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Waaah! After deliberately not blogging for a long time, I've set my procrastination aside for a while to blog about this contest that Etudehouse.ph is having right now.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Wait, I've deliberately stopped blogging? why?! because I tend to <strike>burn</strike> spend my money excessively on makeup than spending it on more important things. Do not worry, I will still do reviews, etc. since I haven't done any on products that I've purchased from the past.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Anyway, if ever you've been an avid reader of my blog, you'll notice that most of my blogposts are reviews and swatches of lipsticks, lipgloss, etc...Yes! Lip products, especially anything that has to do with "coloring up" my lips has a special place in my heart <3.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So when <a href="http://www.facebook.com/etudehousephilippines">Etude House Philippines</a> updated their official facebook page to inform us about this (refer to the picture below)</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">they really did hit a very soft spot in my heart. Why!? why do you have to tempt me like this!?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes! I have this Look At My Lips Lipsticks! In fact, I have 3 of them and I haven't opened them yet!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since I don't do haul posts anymore, I haven't shown you the goodies I've bought from the past months including this. hehehe!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm really not a fan of joining any kind of contests since I'm not lucky with these kinds of things! I only get a bit disappointed...hahaha! But! this contest has me thinking if I would join or not...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">hmm...maybe not. Since the prize for the winners is not that exciting for me to take the risk and I already told Mr. PandaEyes that I would remain anonymous AS MUCH AND AS LONG AS I CAN. Maybe next time...(^_^)v</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another good news...is this (pls. refer to the picture below)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">they are having a pre-holiday sale! Unfortunately, I've already visited my nearest Etude House store and they said that the products on sale are on selected items only...hmm...the poster info. is kinda misleading...oh well!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">just click on this link for more details about the mechanics of the contest and about this pre-holiday sale that they're currently having.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/etudehousephilippines">Etude House Philippines</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">OH! BEFORE I FORGET!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've visited the Etude House store again recently just to check on new items and to remember the names of the kind salesladies I'm referring to on my last post about the <a href="http://myalteregosplayground.blogspot.com/2011/06/fyi-etude-house-20-off-grand-sale.html">Etude House Grand Sale</a>. Unfortunately, I can't remember all of their names, so I'll update this blog entry again after I'm done remembering all of their names, but I commend them all and I still stand by my word that all the SA that work in (Etude House SM NorthEdsa The Block branch) deserve a raise or other benefits..hahaha!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I commend:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(will update this section soon!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Am I hoping that the Etudehouse Team read this? yes and I think they also read my Etude House Grand Sale post. hahaha! I hope you don't mind me borrowing the photos above. It's just for blogging purposes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">EH philippines is also having a job opening for HR assistant. What does a HR assistant do anyway? Can somebody with no experience and has graduated a doctorate degree eligible to apply? I'm just wondering. hehehe!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
