LifeEscapades17: 2014

So it was during hell week were i decided to go to the mall and unwind. Sadly i couldn't control myself to head over and take a look around the beauty section (lol) and I might have bought a few things... so I'd like to show you some of the things I got! which I was super excited about by the way enjoy!

note:I've had these for about 2 weeks now so i'll put my input on what I think of the products as well.

Products above:

Shawill "curling" mascara (₱188.00)

Shawill eyeliner (₱128.00)

Essence stay natural concealer (₱149.00)

Maybelline color tattoo in shade: retails for ₱379.00 each

- 55 inked in pink

- 25 bad to the bronze

Essence top coat (fast drying) (₱129.00)

Girl stuff nail lacquer (₱100.00)

Mascara: I've always been a fan of Maybelline's mascaras, ever since I started using makeup I've always got hold of maybelline's mascara because one, it is affordable. Second, it just does the job and third, it can withstand the weather here in the Philippines. Unfortunately I wasn't born with long and full lashes so when I discovered maybelline "falsies" I was in awe. But what I found to be the downside of this is that when I remove my mascara I find that some of my lashes fall off. so i decided to take a break first from using that and try out different ones. the Shawill mascara caught my eye not because of the price tag but from the packaging as well. Now, i cannot say that this is as good as the falsies but it does separate and add a bit of volume to your lashes. oh and it is waterproof!

Eyeliner: i love the felt tip eyeliner I bought from HK which was the (heavy rotation perfect liquid eyeliner) but sadly its almost gone so when i was looking around the same Shawill booth the sales lady talked me into buying it and let me tell you,I love it that's all i can say! (p.s: you know how other local felt tip liners usually peel of... this doesn't :D )

Concealer: It covers and brightens the skin well and it is blendable. It leaves your skin looking "natural" just like what it claims. I like using this on good skin days where i just want to brighten my face up.

Weather you use it as a base or as its own these shades are absolutely beautiful! Since spring/summer 2014 has finally arrived the colors are just perfect. the consistency of it is smooth and well pigmented and it really is crease proof! I highly recommend these if you're looking in the market for good quality cream shadows.

Left: I find the topcoat to do it's job! it gives shine and minimizes waiting time for your polish to dry. Right: the color just screams summer! though it is true to color it can get a little bit streaky. So I do what fellow blogger Tiffany makeupbytiffanyd.blogspot.com recommends which is to apply a matte top coat either in between polish application or before.
