I have both black and brown of these. It's amazing! The best gel eyeliner I have. It makes me not want to try Fluidline and BB gel liners anymore. Why would I wanna buy something expensive when this one already does the job?

Yes, I wanted to buy 2 of these but it was LE and I had the last one! I love its value. I bought it for an equivalent of $26 here in the Philippines. I heard it's not available in the US anymore. I guess they exported all stocks to Asia. Thank God!

Polishes -Revlon - Red Hot Tamale

I really love this color! It actually reminds me of MAC's Russian Red. I always feel like Dita Von Teese everytime I have this on my fingernails. The only con I see is that sometimes it's too loud to wear everyday, so it gets a lot of attention when I'm at work. But if you like that then this polish is for you!!

Lotions/ Creams -Philosophy - Empowermint Body Butter

I love this body butter! i'm a sucker for anything mint, and when i found this at 65% off, i just had to buy it. it's truly minty and it awakens my senses. the only thing i don't like is that i really smell like mint when i put it on, so i only do so at night before bedtime. when i use it in the morning it kinda puts off my perfume, so i just use my jergens shimmer lotion, which has a weaker scent.

Eyeliner -MAC - Liquidlast Liner - Aqualine
rated 5 of 5

I love this product! I got it yesterday and I'm wearing it now, and I absolutely love this. It makes my eyes pop in a way I didn't imagine before. I'm Filipina with brown eyes and black hair, and this is absolutely gorgeous. I dunno if I'll buy again because it's not something I should use everyday, but it's just so gorgeous. And everybody's right; it's absolutely hard to remove. I tried the black one on my hand when I was trying the aqualine color, and it took me 2 showers and 3 hand scrubs to finally take it off. I swatched my NARS eyeliner Stylo beside it and it faded off after my first wash. tsk tsk

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals ALL
rated 3 of 5

My face is so itchy everytime I use the foundation. Not the same with the mineral veil, although there's no staying power on this one. In fact there's no staying power for all BE products. However, just recently, I rediscovered a new way of using their foundation. Instead of using it directly on my skin, I use my MAC Studio fix liquid first (NC42) and then apply my BE foundation in Medium Beige to set it. It looks terrific and it lasts all day. So I don't need to throw the product after all.

Primer/ Corrector -Lise Watier - Portfolio
rated 4 of 5

This is a really good concealer because of all the colors. I use the 2 darkest colors plus the green when I have spots. I rarely use the light one for undereye circles because I don't have any, and the color is too light for me anyway. I recently went to the only shop that sells Lise Watier in the Philippines and they said it's discontinued already!! Is it true?

Misc Beauty Tools -Shu Uemura - Eyelash Curler
rated 3 of 5

Honestly, this wasn't any better than may MAC eyelash curler. I thought there was something magical because of all the rave reviews, but I just got the same results, which are very good. But then, it's more expensive than the MAC, so I'll just keep it and then use both until they both wear out.

Lipstick -The Body Shop - Lipstick
rated 3 of 5

I have #72 and it absolutely dried out my lips. Now I can't wear it anymore and I feel like I just wasted my money on it (TBS is not cheap). I dunno why it dries my lips so much, it chaps my lips too much so I usually have dry skin on them. My friends point them out to me and it's embarrassing. Never buying this again. EDIT: I found a way to lessen the drying by putting first Chapstick on my lips as primer and then putting on this lipstick. It's better now, and I wear it more often than before because I really love the color. I'm raising it to 3 lippies from 2!
