New Discovery: TWO COSMETICS Gel Liner

This, I would have to give credit to my boyfriend. He was the one who discovered TWO COSMETICS hehe. While I was in the bay area, I got a call from my boyfriend asking me if I wanted anything from Two Cosmetics, specifically their Gel liners. He told me the colors they had available and he got me 2 colors.

Two Cosmetics Gel Liner in




Royalty and Passion

The color Royalty is a a deep turquoise with slight shimmers shade while Passion is a matte purple shade. Definitely something I do not have yet in my make up kit.

The gel liners are really creamy and easy to apply. Once they have been applied I noticed that they are also smudge proof, these babies don't budge!! :) Another thing that I like about them is how pigmented they are and how rich they are to their true color. What you see in the packaging is the color you will see once swatched. What I like about gel liners especially colored ones are that they not only serve as your regular eye liners, they can also act as eye shadow and or eye shadow primer to get more vibrant looking and long lasting eye shadows. :) You are getting a multipurpose product in one little jar! :)

When I searched online for TWO COSMETICS website, I saw that they have a couple of products worth looking at. I'm glad my boyfriend got me the gel liners because I would have gotten them my self had I bumped into this kiosk and discovered it first. The Gel liners were bought at The Great Mall in San Jose for only $12.50 each! If you are nowhere near The Great Mall, you can purchase this in their online store and check out their other stuff too!

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! :)
