SWATCH: Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Nude Potion and Hypno
Last month, Ofra Philippines held a sort-of clearance sale for their old packaging. Which includes 2 of their most popular lipstick shades bundled for only 850php. That’s a steal because you get it at 50% off and it expires 2020. You get a high-end quality product for less! Also see: New Packaging of Ofra Cosmetics What I love about Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick is it applies smoothly (no weird looking lines), and doesn’t dry sticky compared to other matte lipsticks. It dries velvet soft and has a nice chocolate fragrance to boot 🙂 Without further ado, I present you the lipstick swatches of Hypno, Nude Potion, and how they look like when combined.…

REVIEW: Canmake’s Creamy Touch Liner is EVERYTHING You’d want in an Eyeliner
So basically I have sparse and thin eyelashes, top and bottom. Using mascara alone just doesn’t do it for me. I need to tightline when I do my makeup to make my almond-shaped eyes POP. Tightline – Also called invisible eyeliner, is a technique in which you line your upper waterline to subtly define and thicken the appearance of your eyelashes. I usually go for pen, gel, or liquid types if I want it to last the whole day, but it doesn’t look as natural as I want them to be. Even the pricier pencils smudge, too dry, scratchy, or fade easily. I haven’t found the perfect pencil type until I discovered Canmake…

REVIEW: Benefit Precisely my Brow 3.5 vs Goof Proof Brow Pencil
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Benefit Cosmetics’ eyebrow makeup line. This is their forte and they’re living up to it. There’s an eye makeup for every type of brows us boys and girls have. Thin, sparse, thick, messy, you name it they have it! I’ve reviewed their Goof Proof Pencil before and I liked it a lot. I wanted to try something else and their SA recommended me their Precisely My Brow (P1,400) afer I had my brows waxed. Let’s see if this is any better, same, or worse. What’s my brow type? KALAT or messy in english. I’m blessed to have a generous amount of hair, but all over the place with thin strands. Take a look at my makeup-free…
REVIEW: Dior Lip Glow in Matte Pink
Sometimes you just want your lips to look healthy pink. Soft, moisturized, and rosy. It’s hard to achieve that with a lipstick because it still looks made-up, some lip balms are too sheer or too pink. But ever since I discovered Dior Lip Glow (read: Dior Lip Glow Review) a few years ago, I never found quite something like it. It’s the perfect lip product if you want to achieve naturally rosy lips. I recently ran out and I was lucky enough that a friend bought me a tube of the Matte Glow version Is it good? Is it better? or is it worse? Dior Lip Glow The must-have universal balm from Dior…
