Prestige Total Intensity Eye Liner

I was never particular with the brand of eye liner I used, whatever was in my kit was good to go. However along the way, the liners I had been using for the lower and upper waterline started to cause me delays especially when I apply this on clients. The problems I was encountering was usually having a hard time getting good color output from the liner hence me spending lots of time. This posed as an uncomfortable situation to my clients since well as we all know, the water lines both upper and lower may well be the most sensitive part of our face and where we must be the most careful when applying make up.

So, early this week, I decided to finally go to the store and get a reasonably priced eye liner to solve all the problems I have been encountering. And with the recommendation of make up guru and my mentor RB Chanco, I purchased Prestige Eye Liner. Now, prestige has a couple of eye liners in line but I chose to get the Prestige Total Intensity eye liner in Black. (We want all the intensity we can get! haha)

I decided to get the Total Intensity eye liner because I really wanted a product that is easy to use yet gives the full output of color. And I must say, It did not fail. For only PHP350 purchased at The Beauty Bar, this very creamy liner impressed me the moment I swatched it.

See how INTENSE the Total Intensity Liner is with just one swipe? I totally love it!!! I found the answer to the problems I was encountering with my previous experiences with my past liners. Why did I not buy this before? Here is what the liner looks like when applied on my lower and upper waterline (take note: Just one swipe).

Now that is Intense! This is really true to its name. There is no other word best to describe this than intense. :) I definitely would recommend this to everyone. :)

I have been using this liner for the past 2 days for make up gigs and have used it n about 15 people, and it glides so smoothly and easily. I want to re-stock on the product already since it is so nice I never want to run out!! :)

Definitely two thumbs up for me. :)


Toodles! :)

New Discovery: Semi Permanent Eye Pencils

In my quest for waterproof makeup, I took time to really check out the beauty stores available here around Manila. Basically what I needed was a really good eye shadow base or basically eye liner with the exact colors I was looking for. The obvious choices that were out there were MUFE aqua eyes and KRYOLAN Aqua Color Palette 12. I knew that the MUFE was gonna be pricey per piece and the KRYOLAN Aqua Color was well relatively a good price but double its USD price. So I searched and searched for alternatives before settling for the obvious products.

And alas! I found it! THE PERFECT ALTERNATIVE!

STYLI-STYLE Line & Seal 24-Hour Power Line & Seal 24-Eyes!!

It claims to be:
- Waterproof
- Lasts 24 Hours
- Smudge Proof
- Semi Permanent Eye Liner

First, what drew me to the revolving kiosk was the wide range of eye liners they had. I was desperately hoping they had the colors that I needed for an affordable price. Aside from that it was also waterproof, just what I needed. I got the colors Jade and Deep Purple

After 30 seconds upon application i tried rubbing the eye liner off vigorously and here's a pic of that:

The colors faded a bit but its still very bright and there are no smudges amidst the vigorous rubbing. Amazing!! :)

On to the second test, I sprayed water on top of the swatches. You may not be able to see the water but I promise there is water there :)

And again, with the water there this time, I tried rubbing the eye liner off.



And surprise!! Still no smudges! And the color didn't change a bit!!!

So am I convinced? DEFINITELY! It really does what it says it will. Now I know what Semi Permanent means hehe.

This product is available in all Beauty Bars for only PHP425!!!! I am definitely getting more of these. :)

Perfect for my shoot! Yayyy :)



Toodles! :)
