Concealers -Rimmel - Hide the Blemish
kaid88 7/17/2012 12:27:00 AM
I've been using this product for 3 years and it works for me. It's a concealer bullet in a sturdy tube. Yes, the texture is a bit greasy but if you put just the right amount, spread it properly and pat it down with powder, it's amazing. It stays on for about 6 hours w/o retouching and one stick can last for about 8 months. DON'T PUT TOO MUCH as this will make blending harder and you'll end up with cakey under eyes. Less is more.

Bronzers -Rimmel - Natural Bronzer- 21 Sun Light
kaid88 7/17/2012 12:20:00 AM
Too light and sheer for me. Felt like I didn't have any bronzer on. The packaging isn't too sturdy and looks really cheap... hmm, too cheap. Smells too much like sunblock and doesn't slide smoothly on the skin.

Lips -NYX - Soft Matte Lip Cream in Tokyo
kaid88 7/16/2012 11:52:00 PM
For those expecting a nude pink color that looks "oh-so- natural", please stay away from this shade and go for Istanbul instead. This is a really light pink color that you have to layer and layer and layer. I used to swipe about 2 coats of this on my lips and the color would last for about an hour. My friend told me to layer A LOT of this product on my lip for it to have more staying power. I've been doing that now (about 6-8 coats) and it only lasts for about 3 hours (not drinking and eating) before I have re-apply again. Great shade for me, might not work for others. Oh, and application of the matte lip cream line is very tricky. If you put too much all at once, you'll have bits of lip color stuck to the cracks of your lips. DON'T FORGET TO MOISTURIZE your lips before putting this on, or else, you'll end up with "cakey" lips. Layer the color instead of putting it on with one swipe. I gave it 3 lippies because I love the color ♥ Costs around PHP270 in the Philippines. It's a very affordable lippy so don't expect too much ☺

Palettes -NYX - Butt Naked Eyes
kaid88 7/16/2012 11:36:00 PM
This palette is great for people who are just starting to play with make-up. The eye shadow palette is neutral and is great for everyday make-up but also provides colors for creating a smokey eye. Eye shadow: Just right. Don't expect a variation of colors from it. You can build on the colors by layering. I use the matte black/charcoal for lining my eyes and it stays on the WHOLE DAY. Blush: I LOVE IT. The shades are perfect for everyone and goes on velvety smooth. Stays on for about 6 hours before you have to retouch. Bronzer: Great for contouring and goes on smoothly as well. Be sure to swirl and tap to avoid putting on too much on your face. Use this to make your nose look more defined :) Highlighters: I use the peach highlighter for my brow bone, the top of my cheekbones and my nose bridge. It has a glittery effect to it. I wish they'd lessen the glitters on this set though. It's nice, but there's just too many glitters. Overall, I'd buy it again. It's costs around PHP1,500 in the Philippines.
