Spend vs Save | ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR VS MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY FOUNDATION
I’ve been using Estee Lauder Doublewear Stay in Place Makeup in Rattan for over 2 years now as my HG (holy grail) foundation. I seldom use it everyday because it’s too expensive for my measly budget.

REVIEW & SWATCH | EB Advance Matte Matic Lipstick in Neutral Mocha
Hi guys! This will be a flash review & swatch. Meaning I won’t be telling you a lengthy sob-story or explanation before going straight to the review. HAHAHAHAH our lippie feature for the day is EB Advance’s Matte-Matic Lipstick in Neutral Mocha (Price: 180php) REVIEW, PHOTOS & SWATCH The packaging is a twist-up crayon pencil. Similar to Kris Aquino’s Matte-Matic lipstick line. Actually this might be just the same, just ~without~ the branding of the queen of all media. Texture is in between a creamy and matte formula.
