Italia Deluxe 3D Stay On Eyeshadows

I was in SM MOA last Sunday and of course, one cannot go to SM and not visit the cosmetics department! It was jam-packed because SM was having a sale, but I braved the pushing and shoving, just so I can go around and check out the stuff that is not in SM Makati.

Lookie what I found!

Seeing Red

Let me tell you about the eye shadow I discovered recently. I was at Watson's looking for sponges and my eye caught Ever Bilena's Eyeshadow Quartet. A beautiful eyeshadow palette that is composed entirely of matte eyeshadows. I just fell in love with it immediately!

Lavender Dreams and a Green Mind

Tonight was Kerastase's big Elixir Ultime launch at R Space. I will be blogging about it in MegaStyle so watch out for it!

Anyhoo, guests were required to wear either pink, violet, gold or green. I wore a green and violet off-shoulder romper, and of course, makeup and nails to boost:


I got a lot of compliments for my makeup look. Yes my dears, the eyeshadow I am wearing is from none other than Fanny Serrano. As I have mentioned in my previous FS single eyeshadow review post, I really love it's blendability, texture, and color intensity. Never mind that their selection doesn't include a whole lot of matte shades because the shimmer shadows are just FAB!

Eyeshadow color is Lavender Dream, and my nail polish is Green Minded from Caress.

Try it out ladies!

Eyeshadow Sticks, Stick!

A friend of mine gave me a bunch of Fashion 21 stick eyeshadow/liner (P85.00 each) to try and do a how-to. I had a shoot today, and while I was putting my makeup on before I left, I recorded myself using the sticks for the how-to, and I will write the review after I got home tonight so I could test the makeup if it really stuck.

First, let me tell you about the product.


They actually have 11 shades available because I checked in their website, but my friend gave me 9 wearable ones. She told me that the others are close the other shades so having all of them would be like having double of some of the other colors.

Their website describes the product to be gentle and easy application, water-resistant, and trendy. So far, I do agree on the trendy part so the rest I have yet to try.

The packaging is nice. The pen is mechanical so you can screw the body of the pen to hide the tip and cover it so it wouldn't make a mess in your makeup kit incase the cap comes off. That is a plus for me.

Now comes the testing of the product:

I did color swatches on my arm and I was quite impressed with the shades. Color intensity is nice. The shades are true to its claim and it's shimmer/frost shadows.

Yes, it is gentle and glides on skin easily, and very easy to apply.

Color is intense when you don't smudge it, but when you do, it creates a very soft, very beautiful wash of color. This is all based on the arm test though... I still have yet to try it on my lids.

The other product that I received with the package my friend sent is Fashion 21's Double Up Mascara (P225.00). She said that she has been using the mascara and claims it was good. So she gave me a tube to try.



The packaging looks promising. Of course, I am again judging the product by it's packaging (Hahaha!) but let's see later after I have worn it as soon as I leave the house until I get home tonight.

















The brush is similar to that of Define-A-Lash from Maybelline, but the entire brush tip is not flexible with the Fashion 21 wand. Formula wise? From the looks of the texture (without applying yet), it doesn't seem very thick and doesn't seem to be the type that clumps, but we'll see.

I started putting on my makeup at 1:00PM, and was out the door by 2:00PM.




MEANWHILE, 8 hours later...

We shot the whole day and I didn't get home until 10:00PM. I didn't retouch my eye makeup at all and this is how the eye makeup looked:


The eye shadow has faded a little bit, but it is still intact. The eye liner didn't budge, of course, a little faded too. The mascara how ever, I really didn't like. It weighed my lashes down as soon as I put them on this morning. Soon after curling, the mascara weighed the hair down and it straightened my lashes. Usually, mascaras like the ones from Maybelline (any formula), my lashes stays curled the whole day.

Fashion 21's Double Up mascara did have that lengthening ability, but it doesn't have the curling power.

What is your take on the Double Up mascara and have you tried the eyeshadow sticks yet? What do you guys think?

ELF Flawless Eyeshadow Quads


I am one of those beauty junkies who have to get their hands on something as soon as a new item hits the shelves.

I was walking passed the ELF makeup counter at SM, promising myself that I was there only to buy nail polish remover. But I came across their Flawless Eyeshadow quads. Since they didn't have testers, I HAD to get one to try. Since most of my palettes are mostly nudes, browns, and golds. I decided to try a little bit bold to review about and do a how-to video on.

The packaging I would say is very attractive. I love that the eyeshadow colors are bold and it rather looked highly pigmented. So, I got the Sea Escape quad which consists of blues and silvers.

I did a how-to video on this quad and I must say. I was very disappointed with the texture of the eyeshadow. It was very chalky, and pigment was very low. You could have finished the entire pan of eyeshadow and still, you wouldn't have achieved the color you are aiming for.

The product falls off or "disappears" after a while and you will have to keep retouching if you were to get this product.

Maybe I just got the wrong color. I will try a different color tomorrow and see if there will be a difference! So verdict says? 2/5.
