If I would choose only 2 neutral eyeshadow colors to play with for the rest of my makeup life, that would be a shimmering pink and a medium brown. I love how these two colors match perfectly and give me the neutral eye makeup look I want. I have a number of palettes with those two colors but when I was given the Elizabeth Arden Eyeshadow Duo in Pink Clover as a gi…
Read moreIf, and only if, I could have an extra 10 minutes to do my makeup every morning, I would be wearing eyeshadow every single day. I love how some mixing and blending of colors on the eye can easily change my entire look. But that is not my story goes. In reality, I don't have an extra 10 minutes or if ever I do, I would rather add it up to my sleeping hours. But h…
Read moreStill undecided on what to give your makeup lover friends and relatives this Christmas? Giving makeup as gifts can be really tricky. "What does she need?", "What shade/s does she like?", "Is she a lipstick or an eyeshadow kind of girl?" is just some of the many questions you have to answer before giving makeup as gifts. So to spare yo…
Read moreCream eyeshadows are quite a bit tricky to use, for me at least. Most of those I have tried crease and don't last long on my not-so-oily lids so you couldn't blame me if I don't have that much in my stash. Don't get me wrong, I still have some in my stash because they work good as base but I only have the basic white, black and taupe color. Getting…
Read moreHappy weekend! This will be quick as I am heading out to spend time with my family before I burn my ass off again in doing some requirements for work. I just want to share the products I got from my recent trip to HBC. HBC, for me at least, is known to be a place of inexpensive yet quality products. It has been a long time since I last bought something f…
Read moreGive me an eyeshadow palette in neutral colors and I promise to give you a variety of looks using it. That was story behind my entry for the Avon You Make It Beautiful Blogger Challenge . When the finalists were asked to each pick a kit with products in random shades and color to be used in our entry, I was silently wishing for a neutral eyeshadow quad. I am so com…
Read moreDo you know one of the perks of having am aunt that loves you dearly like a mother? It is being spoiled all the way! Thank you so much, Mama Beng! I love you so much! She lives in Italy and just because she supports my love for makeup, she sent me more Kiko Cosmetics to try. Kiko Cosmetics is not new to me. I have been using some of its products even before I s…
Read moreI can still remember the times I was so in love with mineral makeup that I even bought 10 eyeshadows in one go. Now, those eyeshadows sit in the darkness of my makeup drawer for reasons I, myself, don't know. Hmmm.. Maybe because I am just too drawn to my palettes which are easier to pull out and to use? The entry of Virginia Olsen Minerals in the local m…
Read moreI love how NYX put into one eyeshadow palette the colors that will surely look good on ladies with brown eyes. I am not saying that these colors are the only ones that a brown-eyed lady could wear, I just mean that these colors are the ones which will further enhance the beauty of our brown eyes. If you have brown eyes and are new with makeup, this is a gre…

Read moreI never wear cream eyeshadow alone. It tends to crease and fade on my almost monolid eyes. The only time I use a cream eyeshadow is when I need a good base (aside from a primer) for my eyeshadow to adhere on to. I have a couple of cream eyeshadow duos in my collection but its number will never grow because I am satisfied with how my eye makeup looks like on top of …
