My aunt had gifts for me in the Balikbayan Box!
We have mad-love for our OFWs.
I admire the strength and courage of the Filipino OFW.
I have a few relatives who have been abroad for half their lives.
I only see them once a year at best.
We keep in touch through facebook but there's nothing like having them here.
My Tita seems to have mad-love for me too.
I am so psyched that I got all these lovely goodies in the Balikbayan Box she had sent our family.
** EYE SHADOWS **
Maybelline New York
Expert Wear Eyeshadow
In 21Q Electric Blue
I tried to shoot a look with this. But this product is NO GOOD.
It was powdery and wasn't pigmented.
The base (white) and the liner (black) was good enough, but the lid (purple) and the crease (blue) color wasn't as vibrant as in the pan.
CoverGirl
Eye Enhancers
in 260 Coffee Shop
I really like this nude but sparkly palette.
The formula is very nice. I wished that the darkest matte color had better color pay-off.
I tried to line my eyes with it and it was a no-good.
CoverGirl
Eye Enhancer
in 274 Fairytale
This is very pretty too but it was quite similar to another CoverGirl Eye Enhancer palette.
The grayish purple is gorgeous, and the plum is very soft and perfect for the crease.
** PENCIL EYE LINERS **
REVLON ColorStay
Eyeliner in 203 Brown
with Pull-Out Sharpener
Rich, intense color wears up to 16 hours.
Glides on smoothly. Waterproof.
Use pull-out sharpener at base of pencil for a more precise line.
Ophthalmologist tested.
This is a great product. It lasted for a good 6 hours.
I haven't tried having this on for longer though so I can't say anything about the 16 hours staying power.
REVLON Luxurious Color
Eyeliner in 502 Sueded Brown
Defines eyes with rich, luxurious color that lasts all day.
Silky-smooth formula and built-in smudger create versatile looks from precise to smoky.
Ophthalmologist tested.
This is a much softer formula that the other liner.
I suppose it's so you can smoke it out.
I might try a smoky eye with this - otherwise, I'd stick with the other one.

** LIQUID LIPSTICK **
Revlon Colorstay Overtime
Lipcolor in 360 Endless Spice
16hours of comfortable color.
No touch-ups needed - even after meals.
Topcoat enriched with chamomile,
keeps lips comfortable and delivers the shiniest shine.
I haven't tried this! I really don't know why. >.<
Revlon Colorstay Ultimate
Liquid Lipstick in 025 Premier Plum
I've worn this here and so many other days.
This seems to be my go-to lip color nowadays.
I think it's because it dries to a matte finish.
Maybelline New York
The Elixir in 020 Signature Scarlet
It leaves a good pigmented tint on your lips. The application process is just on the difficult side.
** LIPSTICK **
Revlon Super Lustrous
Lipstick in 300 Coffee Bean
Pearl Finish
Don't be fooled by the color of that sticker.
Don't be fooled by the color of that sticker.
When on the lips, it faintly resembles this color.
But the pearl sheen is gold-hued and looks gorgeous!
It's not really brown but more like a red with a lot of yellow.
MAC Sheen Supreme
Lipstick in Full Speed
This is my very first MAC lipstick.
I've never felt packaging as luxurious as this!
I love that it's coral - my fave lip color :)
** FRAGRANCES **
Bath and Body Works
Shimmer Mist in White Citrus
It's very citrus-y and have worn this whenever I'm wearing tank tops.
I don't want to spray this on my nicer clothes as the glitter might ruin my clothes.
Premiere Collection (minis)
Paloma Picasso, Miracle, Treson,
AnaisAnais, Loulou, Lauren
I bet she got this at the airport LOL.
It's really cute and is a happy addition to my perfume collection.
xo, Pau
