Wow okay so I'm actually running away from responsibility right now :)) I have 3 important tests and a paper to make for next week but I really couldn't be arsed to study.
So! I've been stressed for quite some time due to Quarter Life Crisis (as I have started to affectionally call. It's generally wondering if I'm choosing the right path for life after college, and if Economics is what I really want) and well school stuff in general. Since fashion is my form of relaxation, I've been letting all my stress out through makeup and dressing up during the weekends.
My school outfits are a catastrophe though. I keep on wanting to wear cotton-y and comfy stuff and that eliminates half of my closet (since this half is made of chiffon and typical sheer F21 stuff) and 1/4 is long-sleeves and too warm to wear. I look horrible these days :)) I hope that changes soon and I get the opportunity to find clothes despite the academics load.
So anyway, moving on! Since I cope by using makeup, I've been adding more stuff to my makeup collection.
RCMA No-Color Powder
I've only been able to use this a handful of times and it does set the makeup nicely! My cameras have horrible quality and cannot capture the effect. I bought this for P700 at Pop Culture, 2nd Fr Trinoma. (And last I dropped by Pop Culture also has the Banana powder thing and I'm getting curious :)).)
I have acquired a lot of lipsticks over the past few months. Let us start from right to left (top to bottom on the swatch)
Maybelline Color Sensational 255 Touch of Toffee
I like the color of this lipgloss. It's very nude and it smells very fruity. Of course, staying power isn't too long, especially when you eat and drink. This was given to me by one of my aunts.
Nyx Butter Gloss 12 Cherry Pie
I got this from Pop Culture again for P280. This smells really good = u = I love the dark red color. I haven't used it for a whole day yet so I cannot say if it has a good staying power but I feel it doesn't since it easily wipes with my makeup wipes.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss 110
I got this in Pop Culture also for P300. Love the packaging so much (especially the crown on the top). I love love LOVE the color it's a really bright pink-red. It has a matte finish that doesn't look too awkward when worn (my Revlon matte lipstick looks awkward when worn and is very drying). This Rimmel one is a bit drying compared to my other lipsticks. It smells a bit lipstick-y.
Color Riche 377 Perfect Red
This one's a bit pricier compared to what I'm used too. P625for a lipstick. It's a bright firetruck red and it takes two swipes to get a really opaque color. It's a bit drying and smells of typical lipstick scent. I wore this one day when we were shopping, and I shopped for 4 hours, and it didn't wear off before eating. After eating though it looked awkward since half of it was normal lip color :))
Maybelline Color Sensational 045 Pink Me Up
I got it for P400 in Landmark. It's more like the Revlon Colorburst lipstick! It's not drying to my lips and it lasts around 3-4 hours without eating. It's a lovely dark pink color, good for everyday looks. Also it doesn't smell too much like typical lipsticks and smells good in comparison to the Rimmel and L'oreal one.
Etude House Oh~ m'Eye Line
So! I forgot how much this costs but I'm pretty sure it's in Etude House's website. I love this eyeliner and it's my substitute for the Drawing Show liner. It lasts just as long (around 5-6 hours even with sweating!). What I noticed though it takes long to dry after putting on but oh well!
Max Factor Clump Defy by False Lash Effect: Black
I'm actually not sure if I've already done a review on this one.
So! I was running out of my natural look MF mascara when I replaced it with the Maybelline mascara, but I wasn't too satisfied with the performance so I replaced it with this and I love it! P745, yes VERY pricey for a mascara, as always, but I love it. It doesn't clump, no matter the layers I put on. It lasts long, as usual! (This is why I keep buying Max Factor mascaras. Expensive but they perform well, in my opinion. And they don't smell bad!)
Watsons Deep Cleansing Facial Wipes
I really do not remember how much this costs but I love using them so much! I used to use another brand from Watsons that I got for 99 each but it performed poorly. These ones work really great though. Usually it takes me a long time to get the makeup off my face but these work like a charm.
