Best Of 2015 || Beauty Products





So instead of me doing a monthly favorites this month, I thought that I would do my best or mostly used products for this whole year and I really picked out the ones that I think everybody else should try out.




  • Stila all day liquid lipstick in Patina
I have been wearing this shade whenever I see myself wear a plain tee or just anything ordinary since it does make a bold statement even if I had minimal to no makeup on. Click here for the price and review. 


  • Stila all day waterprood liquid eyeliner
This would have to be my all time favorite eyeliner because of how opaque the product is and how easy it is for me to play around with how I put it around my eye. Click here for the price and review. 



  • LOL (lots of love) bronzing powder
A very subtle bronzer that is good for an everyday wear. It stays in tact for awhile and easily buildable if you want more of an effect to your look. Click here for the price and review.


  • NYX soft matte lip cream in Abu Dhabi
A super simple shade that is quite similar to the natural lip color. I like to call this my "when in doubt" product because of how natural the finish is to the lip and it's matte. Click here for the price and review.



  • Benefit roller lash
Works as a eye curler + mascara. Most beneficial for those who are on-the-go. Read more about that here.


  • Lush daddy-o Purple shampoo
Used this ever since I started bleaching my hair to avoid having brassiness and it worked like a charm. The scent is not too strong but very subtle to the nose and it lasts the whole day on my hair.


  • Chic "Gypsetter" from the boho chic! collection
A periwinkle blue nail polish. Super cute that for me is perfect for all occassions. 


  • Silky girl moisture rich lipstick in Sensual
If you are looking for a cheap but good quality lipstick, then this collection is for you. More details here.


  • Chromastix Hair chalk intense
I used this last Halloween and loved it! If I wanted a temporary hue to my hair, I'll definitely reach for this because of how amazing it looks. And, it's pretty cheap too. More about this here.



  • Nichido Tru Lashes Eyelash Adhesive
It may look small but it definitely does it's job. I admit that I don't often wear fake eyelashes and when I do, I find myself struggling at the middle of the day to keep it in my eye due to bad quality glue. This however helped my lashes to stay intact throughout the day. 


  • Real Natura Organics Soft Matte Lip Gem in Caramel Glaze
A nude lipstick that is perfect for an everyday wear plus, the brand promotes all organic (cruelty-free babes!). Check out more of this here.


  • Mac Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy
I have been hunting this lipstick down for the whole year and finally got it this month. I love it! I finally get why it's always sold out because of how amazing the quality and lasting power is. I will be posting a more elaborate review on this in January so stay tuned for that.


  • Rucy's Vanity Mascara in Black
I mentioned above that Roller lash from Benefit is indeed one of the top mascaras this year for me but due to it's fast expiration (mascaras tend to only last for 2-3 months max) and it's price, it did break my heart to stop using it. This mascara however is really cheap and does almost exactly the same job as the roller lash. The packaging is very sleek and professional and the wand prevents the mascara from plumping. To know more, click here.


  • Virgin Coconut Oil
I just started using VCO on myself this year and all I could say is, why haven't I used this sooner? It's a miracle product all on it's own due to having so much benefits just by using it everyday or when you need it. The brand actually doesn't matter since they are all made from the same ingredients and they are natural. A little spoiler, I will be posting a "why I love virgin coconut oil" here on my blog around January so keep an eye out for that one. 


What were your favorites this year?

Rucy's Vanity Products Review.




Rucy's Vanity is a cosmetic brand in the Philippines that offer high quality Korean products for a more reasonable price for everybody. They sent me these products a few days ago for me to try out. While I have been hearing about Rucy's Vanity here and there, I never really got to try them or swatch them before so I really didn't know what to expect. So here is my review after using them for a few days:




Products used from this line:


  • Rucy's Vanity Two-way Cake (Pressed Powder)
  • Rucy's Vanity Auto Eyebrow Pencil
  • Rucy's Vanity Gleamy Lavish Water-proof Mascara in Black
  • Rucy's Vanity Water-proof Liquid Eyeliner in Black




I was also sent 2 nail polishes which I would use 1 for an event I'm heading to tomorrow so further review on that would maybe be on a separate post but just incase you were wondering what colors I got, they're green 01 a color that I think is perfect for summer and gold 01 which I will be using for tomorrow and a perfect shade for fall.





Item Description:
Two Way Cake SPF 35 PA ++ 12g
Combines the goodness of foundation and powder in one with added protection from UV rays with whitening effect.
  • Whitening
  • Stay matte all day
  • Non-cakey
  • UV Protection
  • Non-clogging
  • Made in Korea
Available Shades:
  • #21 Natural Beige
  • #23 Dark Beige
How to use:
Apply smoothly and evenly to your face and blend with puff.

Price: P250

What do I think of this product?
First, I like the packaging. I'm always worried whenever I'm on the go and I use the sponge, it will put / give dirt or bacteria to the product. So having them separated is a plus for me. And, the sponge is quite soft unlike what you would expect from most pressed powders. For the actual product, it applies evenly although having really oily skin and the humid weather, it didn't really lasted that long on my face although, reapplying is easy and not too cakey.





Item Description:
Auto Eyebrow Pencil,  0.33mm
Easy retractable eyebrow pencil, providing excellent sharp and precise lines yet a blendable soft focus to define eyebrow’s natural hue.
  • Made in Korea
Available Colors:
  • Black
  • Gray
  • Brown

Price: P80

What do I think of this product?
This product is very pigmented and even while using a light hand, I didn't have any problems trying to get it cling onto my skin. Easily blendable using a spoolie brush but this product doesn't come with it so you would have to use your own. Brown was a tad dark for my liking but I think the actual product does compete with the eyebrow pencils that I'm currently using.





Item Description:
Rucy's Vanity Gleamy Lavish Waterproof Mascara , 7ml
  • Hypo-allergenic
  • Sweat resistant
  • Water-proof mascara that natural coats each lash making it appear longer and volumized
  • Protects lashes and lock in moisture.
  • Made in Korea

Price: P180

What do I think of this product?
This product is what actually surprised me the most. The reason is because I probably like this one the best out of all of these since my eyelashes easily curled up and never went down althroughout the day without even using an eyelash curler. And with the current humid weather, I expected it to have some problems but nope, no smudging at all and *spoiler alert* I might just have to put this on my favorites for next month.





Item Description:
Rucy's Vanity Liquid Eyeliner , 7ml
  • Long lasting
  • Water-proof eyeliner with deep black pigmentation that last whole day without smudging
  • Made in Korea

Price: P160

What do I think of this product?
Same with the mascara, this actually also survived my constant sweating. It didn't crease which I experienced on an eyeliner before and it's very easy to use. I just recently switched to a felt tip eyeliner but I always used to use a dip brush like this one. I don't really recommend beginners to use this since it does tend to get messy, but if you know how to do your eyeliner, then I suggest you give this one a try.

Also, I'm not sure if I do have a good makeup remover or not but based on my experience, all of these products are easily removed with just a few swipes so that is a plus for me.

Anyway, I hope that you have found this review useful if you are looking to try out these products and leave a comment down below if you have any more further questions, suggestions or if you have tried these products out and how did they work out for you.
