Falsies Volum Express

i've been hauling so many mascaras lately, i'm probably good until the end of the year.

here's the latest one i opened: Maybelline Falsies Volum Express Mascara. i actually got this at dutyfree (my brother's gf bought it for me :D), i don't think this is available locally. i was choosing among the many mascaras that Maybelline offered, and this one hooked me in with its name :P

Tube Your Lashes

from the Blinc website:
Blinc is the original mascara invented to form tiny water-resistant "tubes" around your lashes rather than painting them like conventional mascaras.

sounds interesting eh? i bought a sample because i was really curious with this product.

i love the wand! :) it's really easy to work with, and it's wonderful at separating my lashes.

this mascara does a great job at adding volume and length to my lashes, as you can see below.

the look is very natural, which i love! :) not clumpy at all!

and it really is long-wearing. i didn't really bother rubbing my eyes to test (why put my eyes through that trouble?), but it definitely stayed on the entire day!

the best part is that removing the mascara is such a breeze! :) you don't even need makeup remover, water will do. no tugging needed, the mascara (or rather, the tubes) will simply slide off when you wash your face.

this mascara is really great! :) now if only it weren't so darn expensive.. :P

My MUFE Haul

i bought the Best of Make Up For Ever set :D it contains the following..
 

High Definition Primer. i love its consistency! :D it feels like you're putting moisturizer on, but it's non-greasy, and it goes on really light. unlike my TFS make-up base, this doesn't leave me with a white canvass, which is great!

High Definition Powder. reaaaaally smooth, i liiiike! :D my peach sake finishing powder from Skinfood is comparable, i would say. except that this is a wee bit finer, and i didn't end up with a white-ish face afterwards (or maybe i just dusted it off really light?) my face felt soo smooth, with a bit of sparkle ;)

Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil (in 0L Matte Black). although this did not glide on as smoothly as my MAC eyeliner, i actually prefer this one because it did not budge on me the entire day! i've always had problems putting on black eyeliner (that's why i tend to avoid it) because it tends to smear, but not this one! :D

Smoky Lash Mascara. definitely lengthens and adds volume. but i can't say it did a good job of holding my curl. and the wand is a bit fat for my taste, found it a bit difficult to work with :(

Sens'Eyes Waterproof Sensitive Eye Cleanser. this works great! :D removing my eye-makeup was a breeze, and it didn't sting my eye at all! unlike my Loreal Elixir Make-up Remover, this did not leave my lids feeling greasy, and best of all, no temporary blindness!








the set costs a whopping P3500, but over-all i'm really happy with it! :D sometimes you just have to splurge, right? :)

i also bought liquid foundation. was originally planning on buying the HD variant, but Lindsay (my MUA during the BDJ Fashion Show) recommended the Mat Velvet + for me instead. it's suitable for oily skin (like me!), mattifies, and evens out skin tone.

i'm glad i listened to her, because i am loving this foundation! it was easy to apply and blend, and i looove its finish. :) 

so here i am sporting my new babies :)

i am in love with MUFE! :)

Rockwell Bazaar Haul

i also hit the Rockwell Moonlit Bazaar today. haha 2 bazaars in 1 day! here's my haul from the Beauty and Minerals booth:

i got the trial size of Monave Loose Foundation in Saturnina (P350). Sophie was there, and she recommended the shade for me. :) i also bought the Inti-Mate Bra Converter set (P250), as well as a sample size of Blinc Mascara (P350), as i was curious. Sophie threw in samples of blush and cure aqua gel, thanks dear! :)

i went straight to their booth because i needed to buy mineral foundation. that has become my strategy when going to bazaars. i go and look for what i need first, so i don't get distracted. then if i have any more money to spare, i check out the other booths. but more often that not, i end up spending all my cash at that one booth, so i exit the bazaar right away, haha. gotta stay away from temptations! :P

this is my 3rd Rockwell Bazaar in 2 months. haha darn it!

my first one was the Urban Bazaar, where i bought this dress from Coexist:

the second was the Artisan Bazaar, where i bought 2 skirts from Poisonberry:

i just can't stay away :P
