Mim, Myself & I...

Hola chica... chico..!

I'm back with avengeance since I haven't been updating my blog... So I got these in the mail last Saturday...



Pretty!!!

So I got...

1. Shiseido Integrate Eyeshadow Pallette

2. Kose Visee Lash Glamour Shape Mascara

3. Lavshuca Rouge Essence Bar

To start....

I LOVE THIS INTEGRATE EYESHADOW PALLETTE!!! At first I thought it was gonna be flat... and matte... boy, was I wrong... It was so velvety when I put it.. the texture on this product is amazing... and it had soft subtle shimmers... super small... way smaller than that of Coffret D'Or pallettes...

The purples and lavenders of this pallette works well on my skin tone... which I think will also suit a lot of people... This one seems very versatile.. Yellow, Pink, Olive skin tones can look great wearing this pallette...




I thought I was going to have a hard time with this pallette... I saw a lot of not so good reviews about the Integrate line... but I'm pretty glad I bought it.. and for the price... 400 pesos off of Ebay... that's just like $8... definitely a bargain...! The packaging is great... I really love the metal-looking lid..



The only drawback is it only comes with one applicator... Not a big deal since I would normally just use my fingers or my brushes.. another is that the darkest colour bit is soooooo tiny.. I would have a hard time getting from it with my brush and my finger.. .>,<;; ALL in ALL ... I loves it ^^
Showing off the Integrate Pallette and the Visee Mascara... 2 birds with one stone! Score!

Next is the Visee Mascara... I actually had really high expectations for this...Since it's by Kose... the same company that makes Fasio mascaras...

So when I opened it... I was so happy since it's a fat tube... makes me assume that it's a lot of product..
When I saw the brush... it had a lot a lot a lot... of fibers stuck on it... SO COOL! Looked like a cactus... ^^;;



It actually is a pretty cool mascara... it's more like a lengthening mascara than a volumising one in my opinion... And my assumption was correct ... it is a good mascara... my eyelashes look like they're almost fake (please see my pic above... and below... whichever you prefer)


And just as I feared...same with Fasio mascaras... it's super hard to wash off... Boy, if they say waterproof... THEY WEREN'T KIDDING! Hahaha... I have to use cleansing oil (I use Freshel Vit C Cleansing Oil) Even if I use it... I have to wiggle my fingers to loose em up... and they still won't budge... it's only after I use my Aloe and Guava Facial Wash after that will it completely wash off... whew! The price I pay to have great lashes!!!!!!!!


Okay... the next one is the Lavshuca Rouge Essence Bar... Mine is PK-1... it's a super milky pink... I thought it was going to be sheer.. I thought wrong!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! It looks like one of those Heatherette lip sticks.. (no idea what shade... as I have stated before... I am no Mac person)


I really like it... just like every other Kanebo lippy I have... It's so moisturizing.. ^^;; the packaging is cute too... me and packaging ... *sigh*


So apart from the Ebay shipment, I went to Trinoma to have dinner with Reby.. as I was waiting for her... so I went into Landmark... apparently it was on sale.. I WAS APPALLED!! Oh no... that means one thing.... me going to the Kanebo counter and buying stuff...

Which I did! Hahaha... what was funny was... As I neared it, the SA really wasn't paying attention to me because she was entertaining this other customer... but glanced towards me and quickly said : "Miss Camille, please wait a moment... I'm sorry.." I was like... HOLY... first name basis?

BAD SIGN....!! I've been hanging around her counter way too many times! Hahaha... I am a Coffret D'Or addict.. >,< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcv5_HCaqMWp6d3kIMg2TYlqBWiQC1SIon7dsYD1CwYlfN6yR18rLz6Qgb5wShpZmLU9ZU3TEOXsJ0kDN2XazryvtCPbLKjdKSEFyFuGeWJhDg0wN7nCYP2vhKLEG7vg6do5SV6IAzahpr/s1600-h/CIMG3472.JPG">

So I got the SA Eyes in 04... Damn it's so pretty... I think this is the one I got because I'm assuming that this is what Keiko Kitagawa was wearing in the their ad... hahaha (sucker)


This pallette by far is the easiest to apply in my opinion.. but at the same time... BY FAR THE SHEEREST...

No complaints there... it's not about not being pigmented.. It's just that the shades are pretty light... the contour shade in this one which is the metallic brown on the left... Is almost exactly like the medium shade in the TD Eyes in 05...

The glitter liner in this one is gold... it's pretty.. super glittery.. ^^ and the white on top... can be used all over the eyelid... and even under the eye lid area to highlight! Cute!



Here's my eye with that pallette.... Can i just say... Whoa... LASHES... hahaha... excuse the strands of hair all over the place.. I don't really brush mine hair.. haha

Okidoks... Next is the Shine Drape Rouge.. As shown below on the right... is the Shine Drape Rouge and the left is the Lavshuca Rouge Essence Bar...

They look similar from the tube... but the Shine Drape is more of a peachy colour... while the Lavshuca is an extremely bubble gummy pink...

Let me just reiterate both are super duper moisturizing.. and they last pretty long on my lips...




I AM IN LOVE WITH KANEBO PACKAGING!! Or Japanese Makeup packaging in general? No... I dislike the packaging for Shiseido's The Makeup... HAHA... so boring... >,<;;

So yeah.. this is PK-238... l like it... i like it....



I love these!! I'm so thankful for Andy... For finding her on Ebay.ph... She's the only person in the Philippines who has the stuff I am looking for... >,,<;; Okay... I shall put a ban... against me buying makeup! I've still to find a nice small drawer thingy to organize my makeup... >,<;; I hope I find it soon!

Hola Chica!

I've been busy/lazy these past few weeks mending my broken heart so I haven't really posted these purchases from my Bangkok trip 3 weeks ago!


Bangkok is the ultimate shopping place! May it be clothes, makeup.. Amazing stuff... It was only my second time but I'm already planning on going back by June for some more stuff :) Thank God for PAL Econolight flights!!! (lovcs)

First thing's first...

MAC Hello Kitty Collection shtuff..



I just got two things... only two things captured my heart... and the fact that a lot were out of stock already.. Hahaha so I'm like choosing from the rejects! I got the Lip Glass in Sweet Strawberry aand the Beauty Powder (which I use as a blush) in Pretty Baby. ^^



Here's me with the Sweet Strawberry l/g.... Looking uber happy with my new schtuff... it's a very nice pink ^^ i love it...

The lip glass is cute as well... Its a purply pink with blue sparkles... it's a cool tone... it has the same texture as any other Mac Lip glass... adorable colour though.. The only drawback I saw was that the Mac and the Hello Kitty logos rub off quite easily.. I'm not sure if it's just this collection or everything else.. (as you can tell, I'm not a Mac fan) But aside from that, everything's great! Love the packaging...!! Something i'd love to flip out and do retouch while in the train or something ^^;;



I actually really do like this Beauty Powder which I use as a blush. It's cool coz the colour is very subdued, no matter how much you put, you will never look like a clown, but at the same time, it's not hard to show up on the skin ^^;; it doesn't actually have any sort of shimmer... if you look closely, it looks as if it does...but it doesn't really show... ^^ it seems like such a good deal since I use it as a blush, there's loads of powder in that pan, so it'll last me awhile XD i love the embossed hello kitty (love love love)

Then there's the Oriental Princess Beneficial Phenomenal Stop Age Concealer... whoa... got out of breath just saying what it is! Cool concealer pallette with 3 shades in one... When I first saw it I immediately thought.. "Hey! Something I can use for makeup gigs!!"



It's super cheap... it was around 230 baht... that's like $6.20~! Its a super creamy concealer that's also supposed to be anti-ageing :P I find that the two lighter shades on the left are too light for me... so what I do is use the rightmost shade to conceal and the middle and left shades to highlight^^;; the coverage isn't very long lasting though... I'd say it's about medium coverage... but you may have to reapply once or twice during the day... >,<;; Next are the purchases from Beauty Buffet.. it's a Cosmeda company... It's also a Thai brand :) I got the Gino Mccray Benefique Waterproof Double Volume Curling Mascara... a lot of claims there don't you think? Double Volume + Curling...!



Me with my super cool friend, Reby in Bangkok - both wearing the Gino Mccray mascara... ^^;;
the brush... it's pretty decent... esp it's also pretty cheap... it was 299 baht... so around $7-8.

I'd say it does great in volumizing, and it really is waterproof but not too waterproof wherein you'll have a hard time washing it off... but the curling part... I'm not so convinced... It clumps a little too... Oh well...

Last but not the least... my new brushes!!!!



They're also from Beauty Buffet and all of them are Gino Mccray...

Likes:

- I love the feeling of the brushes! They are so soft... and made of synthetic material ... Meaning it won't turn hard after awhile.. after several washes...

- I love how it's so cheap! The material and the bristles are comparable and similar to The Body Shop brushes... which are reasonable priced as well... but nothing beats Gino Mccray brush prices!

- I love how it looks sleek and both the blush brush and the mini concealer brush (left and right) came with their own plastic pouch... so it's easy to travel with, super hygienic... won't stain the makeup purse

Disikes:

- the smudger (middle) tip... after 1 application... the glue connecting it from the handle to the tip is not very strong because it was already coming out... agh... oh well.... this used to happen to me too before with the Body Shop Line Softener... but... not after one usage!!! Oh well... good thing I know how to put it back...

But all in all... I LOVE BEAUTY BUFFET!!



If you ever find yourself going to Bangkok, do check out their local brands...Bangkok isn't really for clothes shopping anymore... they have a wide variety of local cosmetic brands to choose from... they're quite good and affordable... especially for girls out there who are still starting their makeup collections... the brushes are a good buy... and for about $30 you'll have all the basic brushes you'll ever need... :)

Til my next blog...!! (which will be in a few minutes... haha!)
