Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Review

If you've been interested on anything related to beauty for awhile, you may have heard of this product circling around most beauty guru's holy grail list. I got this last month and decided to finally to a review about it since I have tested it for quite some time already.

Item Description: (Copied from Stila's Website)

Finally, a waterproof liquid liner that glides on with ease, won't smudge or run, and stays in place until you say when! The thin marker-like tip is easy to use even for the least experienced, and delivers a defined thin line to a dramatic bold line with precision.

Goes on smoothly without skipping, smudging, or pulling, and lasts all day! 

Key Benefits:

• Waterproof and easy-to-use
• Goes on smoothly without skipping
• Lasts all day long!

Shades: Intense Black Dark Brown Indigo Alloy Moss

NEW! 10 Spring 2014 shades available! Midnight Snow Periwinkle Turquoise Cobalt Olive Amber Emerald Paradise Pink Teal

Price and where did I buy it: 
P745 ($16.03 USD) at Rustan's Shangri-La. Click HERE to see what else I got during the time I bought this.

What do I think of this product?

I do admit that while I was trying it, I was afraid of the brush itself. It is a felt tip liner, quite soft that I thought if I use this, I'll surely make a mess. I was used to using a dip brush and pens that isn't this soft so it was really a surprise for me that this is easier to use because of the control I have over where it goes and the precision of the brush is perfection. It dries out fast and you have about less than a minute to fix the mistakes if you did any. It isn't completely matte and not shiny. I usually don't fill in the inner corners because of how hard it is, but when I did attempt to do it using this eyeliner, it was really easy. 

Is it worth the money?

Yeap, definitely lives up to it's hype too. I would recommend this for beginners because of how I described the brush, it is perfect for on-the go everyday use. I haven't tried the other colors yet but what I have is black and indeed, it is very black, very opaque and I won't have to worry about reapplying it later on since it survives my constant sweating. Not a cheap eyeliner but since you'll most likely finish this up and only have to apply it once everyday (if you wanna wear it everyday) then I think it's a good investment. 

Wearing it here!

So that is it for this review. I now have 2 products from Stila and the other one would be my Stila All Day Liquid Lipstick in Patina (if you wanna read my review all about it, click HERE) and so far, I am not disappointed. I'm actually looking forward for a new product to try out from this line so if you have any suggestions for me to try, do leave a comment down below or even if you have any more further questions, I'll be sure to reply as soon as I see it. 

I hope that this has helped if you are looking to try out this product. And ps: I just realized I dreamed of this exact moment, and yeap, I dreamt that I was making a blog post and the ones I typed above are what I dreamed about. It should've felt creepy but I'm actually excited about it haha!

Haul | Lush, Stila, H&M, F21 and more!

I am guilty of going out to go shopping once again. But, I feel that I needed these things so here they are. (I do need them! I do!)

For the drugstore, I only picked up 2 items and those are both nail polishes. 1 is the Chic Nail Color from the Summer Love Collection (with Kathryn Bernardo's name on it) in the shade Lollipop P33 ($0.71 USD) and the other one is from the Kath-queen Collection in the shade Tsarina (Also from the brand Chic) P33 ($0.71 USD). I just feel that I needed some new colors in my collection (which I really should be organizing).

From Lush, I got the Daddy-O Shampoo  100g P445 ($9.58 USD). So I recently (for the past month) have colored and bleached my hair so I now need a purple shampoo to prevent my blondes from going brassy. Though, it says on the bottle that this works for brunettes too and since I have an ombre styled color, I will see how this one would go. And also, is it just me or are purple shampoos hard to find in the Philippines?

From Stila, I got the infamous Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Black P745 ($16.03 USD). I used to actually skip the part of doing eyeliners because of how I hate it when it fades throughout the day. A friend of mine recommended me to try this out so I got it today and would make a review on it once I start to use it for a few days / weeks.

From H&M, they were having a huge sale but I only got to pick out one that I actually love and it is these Super Skinny Ankle Jeans that are ripped in the knee section. It's original price was P1690 ($36.37 USD) and I got it for P700 ($15.06 USD). Usually, I'm not much of a jeans person all because I keep complaining on how I kinda feel restricted to move and because it feels so hot, especially with the weather today. But, I do notice that I do need them for some occasions or places that I go to.

In Forever 21, they were also having a sale and I bought 2 tops that I would use as a part of an everyday style and for a special occasion style. 1st one I got is this long navy blue shirt and when I try it on, it kinda looks like a mini dress on me which I think looks great to throw on with shorts or tights if I'm gonna go do some errands but would still look put together. The original price was P655 ($14.09 USD) and I got it for P449 ($9.66 USD).

Another top from Forever 21 is this White Knit Top and a see-through section at the back. I do admit that this may look a little too hot to wear, but when I tried it on, it wasn't really that bad. Although, I would still recommend wearing this during a cooler weather or if I'm heading to a place with air conditioning. The original price was P805 ($17.32 USD) and I got it for P559 ($12.03 USD)

And lastly, I picked up a new hobby which is lettering / painting. So I got myself this Prang Water Color P459 ($9.88 USD) from National Bookstore. It has 16 colors and comes with it's own fine tip brush. This was the last one that they had at the SM Megamall Branch today so lucky me! Although, when I did check the Shangri-la Rustan's National Bookstore, they had more stocks + they also had the Oval-8 set which was P250 ($5.38 USD). Oh well, I just got excited when I saw this so.. yeap.

That is it for my haul, do comment down below if you have already tried out any of these products and how did you like them? Or if you have any more questions, suggestions or request just leave it below and I'll be sure to reply once I see it.

And that reminds me, what shop do you tend to go 1st whenever you go to the mall?

Fashion 21 Eyeliner Pencil In The Color White Review

As I was scrolling through tumblr or weheartit, I keep noticing these girls who wear white eyeliner and decided that I should probably try it too because it is always fun experimenting with makeup. So I got this eyeliner during my birthday haul, it was cheap and seems like I could practice and play around with it.

Price and where did I buy it?
It is P85 ($1.86) and I got this from the SM Department Store at SM Megamall. If I'm not wrong, you could probably get it at any SM malls or at any Watsons branch.

What do I think of this product?
While I was looking for an eyeliner, I think this one stood out to me the most because besides the fact that it's cheap, it is also a double sided eyeliner with the pencil on one side and a smudging brush on the other. The product is very creamy but not that pigmented, you'll need to put abit of more coats after another to get the result that you need. Having to wear it on the day of my birthday, it lasted me for 5-6 hours without any smudging (or I'm just missing something because it's white colored and not obvious if it smudged?) Although, I could say that the smudging brush does kind of erase the product whenever I tend to use it on my waterline but using the product and the brush for my inner corners, it does work well and lasts until how long I want it to be there. Easy to reapply and put coats after another. And I'm not sure if I'm the only one who finds this satisfying but I hate it when the caps are way too loose and I tend to lose them everytime, this eyeliner though, the caps are sturdy and I really won't have to worry about losing them or breaking them. I do kind of wish that I knew the ingredients that were used on this product because I can't seem to find it on their website at the moment.

Is it worth the money?
I am pretty sure that this has been worth my money because even if its not that pigmented at the 1st application, you'll still get the results that you want once you really work with it. Plus the smudging brush has good uses for my eyeshadow too. It is inexpensive so I get to test out the styles I wanna do using this product.

So that has been my review for this eyeliner and I hope that it has helped you guys if you are wanting to try this one out too. Be sure to leave a comment for any questions, suggestions or discussions and I'll be sure to reply as much as I can.

Thanks for reading and until the next blog!

Mini Haul [Drugstore & Etude House]

Today me and my brother had an unexpected errand and after we were done with that, we thought why not go to the mall since we are already going that way anyway. So we went to SM Masinag and just walked around and kinda picked up some things we need. 

At the Department Store:

So SM is having a Mid Year Clearance Sale so most of the good stuff are all sold out. Kinda broke my heart to know that I wasn't able to grab a Revlon 24 hour Color Stay Foundation that was on sale so I just got my BYS Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in the color 31 Sky Blue. (P169 or $3.75) I picked up this color because I've been looking for something that would be kind of the same with Hanna Marin's eye make up (on the show Pretty Little Liars). I seem to notice that her eye liner came abit blue rather than black at some parts and decided I wanna try out that look, so I got this and hopefully it'll be an awesome product. Review about this product shall be made soon!

Etude House:

Ofcourse whether I deny it or not, it is pretty obvious that I love this store so much. I repurchased my Color My Brows (Eyebrow Gel) in the color #2 (P378 or $8.39) because I always use this on the go and it lasts me all day. Have been repurchasing this countless of times already and I should probably try out other eyebrow gel brands which I will pretty soon, but for now I just always tend to reach for this product whenever I do my brows so yeap an all time favorite for me.

Another one is a manicure, #25 from the Play collection. (P128 or $2.84) I raved so much about my #42 on (It was on my May Monthly Favorites HERE) and I hope that this will do me wonders too. It did kinda remind me of my Stila Liquid Lipstick in Patina since it is almost the same shade, Muave pink color, really beautiful.

I was tempted to buy some more stock for my Tea tree face mask (P58 or $1.29) that I've always been using a lot but I decided to just finish up what I currently have for now so as I was paying for my items, the lady said that I have a free mask and then I saw it was the Tea Tree Mask. I felt like I jumped from the inside because it was such a nice coincidence. I made a review about this product HERE.

Another Free product:

This was from a magazine that I bought for my brother and it is the Syoss Moisture Intensive Care Shampoo and Conditioner, 2 pieces of 10 ml each. I always walk past this product whenever I shop for a new shampoo because I haven't really seen that much reviews about it. But now, since I got these babies, I might as well try it and who knows they might end up to be a holy grail product.

So those are the products that I got today and it was actually very budget friendly compared to my past craziness at the mall, I'm a shopaholic, I'm not gonna lie. I'm really excited to try most of them out and maybe be added to my list on "must repurchase when it's all out". Hit the comment section below if any of you guys have already tried these products and did it work great or not for you and also if you got any recommendations for products that are much better or worth to try, I love it when you guys do that!

Thanks for reading! Until the next blog.
