REVIEW: ELF Waterproof Eyeliners

Eye liner is probably one of the items that are stapled in every make up junkie's kits. With the right quality, it can definitely amp up any kind of eye look. Today, I'm reviewing the ELF Waterproof Eye Liners. It comes in 8 shades, and below are some of the best ones (for me).

HITS:

• the felt tip is quite fine, makes it easier to create thinner lines.
• the slightly curved shape of the pen gives you better control and precision.
• it goes on smoothly.
• it's offered in a variety of colours. It also comes in brown, which I heard works perfectly for filling the eye brows.
• it's very pigmented. 
• It's cheap! For Php 129.75, I consider this a steal!

MISSES:

• it dries out fast. You have to shake it first to get the real colour on to your eyes.
• the felt tip gets misshapen after several uses. As you can see in the picture above.
• it is not waterproof. It smudges with a few drops of water. 
• you really do have to set it with powder, especially if you're the type that tends to get oily lids, otherwise, it will smudge on the top of the crease.

SWATCHES:

Look of the day: Bronze & Turquoise

I've been getting a bunch of Sleek i-Divine palettes lately, and this was the first look I was able to do using some of them.

I don't know if this is what's "in" right now, but I've been very fond of combining light and warm hues lately. And this combination is just unexpectedly gorgeous. 

Products used:

• Sleek i-Divine palettes (The original & Sunset)
• Wet 'n wild Coloricon Eye liner Pencil
• Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil
• Etude House Color Eye Brow Tame
• CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara
• NYX Powder Bronzer
• NYX Lip Pencil in Pumpkin

REVIEW: Beauty UK Palettes

I've been seeing good reviews about these Beauty UK palettes for months, so I decided to get some and test it out for myself. And by the way, each palette only cost me 300php ($8) each, so you can't really go wrong with it!

Beauty UK Eye Shadow Collection: TWILIGHT

HITS:

• almost all the colors are very pigmented. It shows up beautifully even without a primer.
• the white tones are very good to use for highlighting.
• the cream eye liners that comes with the first palette is actually decent. It glides on pretty smoothly.
• both palettes are very compact. You might not notice on the picture but these are actually a bit smaller than the usual 7-inch palettes, these ones go for 4 1/2 inches wide. To me, that's a thumbs up because I like to travel with a lot of make up!
• unlike most palettes that are on the cheaper side, these ones are placed on a very thick and sturdy plastic cases. 
• thumbs up for the transparent lids. It makes it easier to see the colors inside so you don't have to open and go over each palette. Very useful in times when you're trying to search for a specific color.

MISSES:

• some of the lighter colors are a little chalky.
• some color tends to break for no reason, especially the blue ones.

I've been practicing eye make up recently but the ones I took before just didn't register well in pictures, plus they're not blog-worthy. But this one is (I think).
