ELF eyeshadow brush

This is my favorite eyeshadow brush. I'd like to pat the colors on my lids with this and use my charms brush for blending. My eyelids are actually small and this brush is just the right size for my lids. it is soft and i've washed it several times and no fall offs so far.

FANGLING blush/powder brush

I bought this one at Subic duty free for $2.50. Oh this brush is so soft! I love it! and it is so inexpensive. It picks up the powder pretty well and it is handy. Just the perfect size for travel. I've tried to search this brand online but i haven't found one. Fangling also have the foundation brush which i didn't buy because i seldom use foundation. This is now my favorite blush brush! Anyway this is how it looks like.

PERFUMES

L-R: Salvatore Ferragamo Charms, Inferno Paradiso Pink by Benetton, Bulgari Omnia Crystalline, Lanvin Eclat, Agua de Loewe, Tommy Girl,  Esprit Connect, Clinique Happy Heart
Description and Reviews:

1.) Salvatore Ferragamo Charms opens on notes of passion fruit and honeysuckle, leading to a heart of jasmine and ottoman rose. The base is a blend of white musk and amyris wood.
 -I love using this perfume at night when i'm out for an occasion. It has a seductive but sweet scent into it however it doesn't stay long.

2.) Inferno Paradiso Pink by Benetton is filled with oriental-floral fragrance with discrete fruity accords. It opens with aromas of juicy peach and citruses, orange and bergamot from Florida. The heart awaits us with freesia, jasmine and rose, whereas the base notes encompass patchouli, vetiver and white musk which rounds up the composition.
-to me it smells like the infamous D&G light blue which i'm not a fan of. i got this from singapore and since its a lot cheaper than D&G i thought that i might as well give it a try. I'm still not so crazy about it but i get a lot of compliments whenever i'm wearing it so..  Staying power is average.


3.)Bulgari Omnia Crystalline is a fresh musky woody fragrance with notes of bamboo, nashi pear, lotus flower, and balsa wood.
-the description says it all. yes it does smell like a fresh musky wood. It smells a bit powdery to me. Whenever i wear it i feel like i smell like a baby. It's light and fresh without any hint of fruity or floral scent into it. I like it because it has unique personality. I wear this on daytime. I can still smell myself wearing this after several hours however i don't get compliments whenever I'm wearing it. i think you have to be really close to be able to smell it. perfect for cuddling. Like i said, it's light and fresh. Your hubby's allergic rhinitis wont be triggered by this =)

3.)Lanvin Eclat is a sophisticated fruity scent is a blend of sicilian lemon leaves, lilac green, wisteria flowers, green tea flowers, peach flowers, red peony,white cedar of lebanon, musk, and amber.
-this is my latest perfume and i loveee this! i can't even describe its scent. It has fresh, sweet, fruity, citrus, sexy scent in it and it stays sooo long. I can still smell this on my clothes even after a week (i was preparing the laundry and i can still smell exactly how it was when i used it a week ago). I will definitely repurchase! Perfect for a night out or a dinner date with your special someone. This is a flirty perfume indeed!

4.)Agua de Loewe Ella incorporates lemon, bergamot, small orange, rose, lily, cedar, sandalwood and musk. The fragrance is light, spicy and feminine.
-i got this for free at Sephora Singapore when i bought an Agua de Loewe for men for my husband. this perfume is the most expensive out of the bunch that i own. I love how it smells so light and fresh but i think it is not worth its price. I won't repurchase just because i think  there's nothing so special about it. Staying power is great though.

5.)Tommy Girl has notes of black currant bud, apple, tangerine, mandarin, spearmint, heather, honeysuckle, violet, rose, magnolia, jasmine, lily, sandalwood and cedarwood.
-This is my second bottle and i love using this during day time when i'm going to attend an occasion or event. I think its smell is similar as the Clinique Happy Heart but this is more on a citrus side while the Clinique is more on a floral side. I still love this. i get a lot of compliments as well when im wearing this. It's sophisticated. Classic but modern. Staying power is average.

6.)Esprit Connect features watermelon, pineapple, freesia, fresh water, jasmine, peony, water lily, raspberry wood, sandalwood and musk.
-this is a floral fruity perfume combination. I love the smell. It is fresh. I love wearing them on daytime like going to the mall or run some errands, etc. Just a casual day out because this does not stay long. Like the scent is gone in an hour. I don't like carrying the perfume with me because my bag is always heavy as it is. So i tend to use this whenever i just don't want to smell like i didn't take a shower. This is my everyday perfume i'd say.

7.)Clinique Happy Heart is composed of Water Hyacinth, Mandarin, Cucumber, Yellow Primrose and Blondwoods.
-this is my second favorite perfume next to my absolute love Lanvin Eclat. I smelled this perfume on my friend and i remember how i got interested in it because i could smell her from afar. That's why i was so delighted when my father-in-law brought me this. Just my luck! It's fresh, strong and elegant but not overpowering. It has a mature personality. It stays on forever. It lingers in the air when you pass by people. Yes it does! One of my employee told me that he could also smell me from afar. Perfect for anytime of the day. will definitely repurchase!

REVLON colorstay liquid eyepen

I am a chinita and i've been watching few tutorials on how to make my eyes look bigger. For the most part, eyeliner usually does the trick for them and so i needed to go and get an eyeliner that has tiny tip and i preferred the pen one just because i'm new to eyeliner i thought it would be easier if its a pen that those with the brush or some kind of gel eyeliner.

So i heard a lot of great reviews about the Revlon Colorstay eye pencil which made me think that their liquid eye pen will work just as great, if not better.

Sadly, i am very disappointed with this product. the pigmentation is so poor, it does smudge, it does flake. I had to erase the whole thing if something goes wrong because it would look messy if i would layer them. It is a waste of product considering that it was pretty expensive compared to other drugstore liquid eyeliner. I think i bought it at watsons around Php 600.00 i don't remember the exact amount. I gave it away and i forgot to make a swatch. I'm just not impressed at all! Grr...

GODIVA Licowhite lipgloss review

This is an interesting lipgloss for me.. I bought around 5 of these since high school but i am still disappointed with the results. this lipgloss is supposed to lighten pigmented lips so as to make it kissable. Yeah it does lighten up the lips..but it didn't make my lips kissable... it made me look like i drank a gallon of vinegar or i just consumed a sack of pumpkin seeds. Yes i do have pigmented lips which is fine for me.. my only problem is the edges of my lips.. they are somehow darker. it kind of looks like i'm wearing a darker lip liner which is not nice at all. And every time i use this.. it just made my lips look even more horrible. Its like wearing a dark lip liner with a nude lip color. eeww! i don't know.. maybe this is not just me. now i totally give up!

GUESS watches

This is my first Guess watch..given to me by my beloved husband when he was courting me way back year 2007. I don't use this as much as my second watch though because i think it's quite difficult to use as a watch which is supposed to be its primary purpose because i still have to open the locket which is rather tight so... anyway this is my first watch=)

This is sooo cute! i mainly use this as an accessory... It is kind of like Tiffany bracelets with pink swarovsky crystals linked to its chain. Yes! It is pink! Cute right? Okay this is what it looks like when it's open..
 Okay lets move on to my second watch which i super love! I'm super in love with it that i never wanted a new watch again... i've been using this for about Three years now... It already went off and ran out of battery..but i'm just gonna replace its battery and will use it again and again and again!!! Okay so here it is..


there it is! I use this pretty much every single day. What i love about this watch is it looks like a classic men's watch. The only thing that makes it feminine is the crystals encrusted around its edge. I was never a watch person... but this came into my life and boy i was wrong! i feel naked now without it. My skin is pretty acidic... my skin turns into green after a couple of hours wearing silver.. but this.. it never stained my skin nor itself. I just clean it with clean cloth and will look almost brand new in an instant! love!
