HAUL: COLOUR STUDIO EYE SHADOWS BY ELIANTO

Last weekend, we went to Megamall again to re-align my eye glasses. As always, I took the chance of passing by at Watsons Beauty. I've checked again Wet 'n Wild station and looked for other Silk Finish Lipstick shades but my choices which are the pink/mauve colors weren't available. A lot of shades were out of stock actually. I thought I could go home without any make-up purchases but I was wrong because I saw the Elianto with their Php50 sale. I immediately checked what's on sale. Heck, Php50?!? Are they kidding? Huh they're not!

Well, Php50 for a very few selected items only. It includes the make-up brushes, make-up refill palettes, and single eye shadows. Temptation got into me. You can't blame me... Php50 (approx.US$1.13)?!? I drooled. 

Meet my new babies - Colours Studio by Elianto.

 This is my first eye shadow purchase from Elianto. Finally, the time to try this make-up happened that day. Thank you sa Sale hehehe.

Unboxing my single eye shadows:

The Vibrant Shadow is a pure matte eye shadow.

Pearl Shine Shadow in 05 Celadon Green

Time to swatch!

Taken with natural light by the window; no camera flash.

Left to Right: Young Lemon, Coral Pink, Celadon Green, Nile Green.

Taken indoor; with camera flash.

What I like:

o The price was such a steal! The original price was Php149 (aprrox.US$3.36) each marked down to Php50 (US$1.13) only.

o The Pearl Shine Shadows are much pigmented. One swipe and you're good to go.

o I find the matte ones a bit chalky.

What I don't like:

o The Vibrant Shadows aren't that pigmented; both the 07 Coral Pink & 19 Young Lemon. It took me 2-3 swipes before it reveals the true color.

Verdict: 

For the dirty cheap price of Php50, I can't think of anything to complain hehehe. The Vibrant Shadow in 07 Coral Pink can also be used as blusher coz it is matte. Yey!

I also bought an Elianto 4-colors refill palette for only Php50 (this was originally priced at Php109). There's also a 6-color refill palette for Php80 only but I chose by 4's coz the 4 eye shadows above are the just the colors that I like and I think is wearable at daytime. 

Time to put my single pots to the palette.

 

 

Finished. Yey! Now this is another palette in addition to my growing make-up collection. 

I am so excited to do a make-up tutorial using my new babies - Elianto. Lols! The colors are so cool and lovely noh? Smile always and stay tuned.

HOW TO'S: HOW I RESTORED MY DRIED-UP BOBBI BROWN GEL EYE LINER

 Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eye Liner in Sepia Ink.

I thought I cannot use again my Bobbi Brown Gel Eye Liner since it got dried up already. But I never bother to think to shoot it into the trash bin. Thank God I have this attitude of keeping stuffs instead of throwing it away. I got excited to know that I can still restore my dried gel liner or I can still extend its shelf life when I stumbled on Dollface Cosmetics site and have seen the simple tutorial on restoring your gel liner.

All you need to do is get the following:

o Eye Drops
o Toothpick or Popsicle stick
o Tissue 
o Of course, your dried-up gel liner.

Step 1. Do not face towards electric fan or avoid the windy area. Open your gel liner.

See that space in the right inside the bottle? That's how dry it is.

Step 2. Using any eye drops except contact lens solutions, drop 2 or 3 depending on the dryness of your gel liner. You can add more drops as you go along if needed. In my case, I immediately give it 4 drops.

 

Step 3. Using the toothpick, I slowly smashed the gel. Mix it until the consistency gets creamy.

 

Step 4. Take the tissue and press down the gel on the bottle. Please don't use a thin issue that can easily torn coz in my case, my tissue was thin so when I pressed down the gel, I left some tiny parts of torn tissue in the gel which I easily took off using my tweezer.

Step 5. Clean the mouth of the bottle. Take the cap and close it tightly and store it in mod temperature.

Voila! You're done! Isn't it so quick and pretty easy to do? I've done it in less than 10 minutes. I really enjoyed doing it.

Time to test! I applied my restored gel liner onto my eye line starting from  the outer corner or whatever works for you. Some starts at their inner corner all the way out. Excuse my very oily lids! I didn't put any powder on prior to application hehehe. I'm just excited to test it immediately. Wow! I love again my gel liner. It's very easy to line my eyes (I used a slanted eye liner brush) and it glides on very smoothly. I'm so happy!

 

I intentionally put the gel liner all over my eye line and elongate the wing for a cat-eye look. So perfect for clubbing noh?

Later that day, my B and I headed out around 3:00 pm. I used my restored gel liner and went home after 9 hours. I am impressed on how the gel stays intact. I didn't retouch or put on face powder but I only used blotting paper on my T-zone area, so definitely the eyes area weren't seriously blotted.

 

I just applied the gel liner on the outer 3rd corner of my eye line. I just wanted to open my eyes and also coz I've worn my Wet 'n Wild Cherry Frost so I don't want to be looked like a clown hehehe.

Here's the photo of Before and After 9 hours:

 You can see the difference on my skin. The Before photo (left); not yet oily and the After 9 hours photo (right) with my very oily skin. See? The gel liner still stays intact. Doesn't smudge! It still does the same job like it was brand-new. Yey!

So, why spending another hundreds or thousand of bucks to buy for new one? Go get your dried-up gel liner and start restoring it now and SAVE money! Until my next post beauties.

Smile always and stay tuned.

PRODUCT REVIEW: ETUDE HOUSE SINGLE MATTE EYE SHADOWS

Hey yah beauties! Today's post is still a part of the purchase of my first eureka moment of 2011. Yes, though it's just a mini-haul but those little items were such a big things for a make-up addict like me. Yes, I am embracing much my make-up addiction. It's just so nice being a girl noh?

Etude House have already a station inside the SM Megamall Dept. Store but the items aren't complete. You can still go directly to their boutique for their complete products at the  Upper Ground Floor Megamall Bldg A near the old site of Toy Kingdom. I bought two (2) new single eye shadows from Etude House (it's a Korean brand of cosmetics). This is my second purchase of Etude House products. My first purchase was the BB Magic Cream which I still have half-way amount of the bottle to use. Well, I don't use it everyday. 

Meet my new Etude House Matte Eye Shadows:

 

 (Please click photo to enlarge)

The labels are written down in Korean so I really don't know what the color identification of these but there is written down as no. "8" (left item) and "WH701" (right). I think those are the codes to identify the item's shade. Agree?

Here's a closer look of the packaging:

 

 

Isn't it cute? The details are very girly. The carvings and the design are love! See that design inside? Oh so cute noh?

The swatch of these two (2) shades:

 

Left: Very Pale Light Blue

Right: White

What I like:

o I find it cheap for a price of Php148 each.

o Cute packaging. It added worth to the price tag.

o When they say matte; it's really pure matte color without any sparkles or shimmers on it.

o Very smooth to glide onto the lids.

o Very fine texture.

What I don't like:

o Not that pigmented. Well, let me say this, the pale light blue color is actually very pale that's why I have to pick the color 3-times so it can be obvious that it is a pale light blue. I have no problem with the white though.

o I don't understand what has written at the back of their label, lols!

Verdict: 

Honestly, the pigmentation doesn't really bother me that much. I love the eye shadows! I am happy to find these matte eye shadows because the fact that I have so many shimmery eye shadows in my vanity table, I am ashamed to say that I owned very, very few pure mattes. Yes, I do have other mattes but with shimmers on it. 

 

 

I am going to use these either as Base color or on top of any bases. Then, if you want bright make-ups, these are perfect. I can use the pale light blue for inner corners application and tear ducts area. The white is of course for highlighting the brow bone, tear duct area or the whole eye lids for a smooth application of eye shadows on top of it. I think I should make a tutorial on how to use these shadows if given a chance next week.

I still have other product reviews that are scheduled for entry. Until next post beauties!

Smile always and stay tuned.
