Fuchsia and Orange Styli Style Lip Pencil + Mac Pro 15 Palette mishap

Hey girls, I'm back on the regular grind in blogging. I recently added to my styli Style collection these 2 lip colors. Fuchsia and Orange. I really love Styli Style Lip pencils since they really help in keeping the lipstick on for longer. What I usually do is, I apply the lip liner on the lips and color with the liner until half of the lips then I apply the lip color and gloss after. It really makes a difference in keeping the color on. :)

So when I saw from my trusted ebay seller that she had the colors orange and fuchsia, without hesitation I got them. I have been on the constant search for a pure orange lipstick so i thought I'd start with the lip liner. hehe Yayy! So here it is.


STYLI STYLE LIP LINERS IN FUCHSIA AND ORANGE

For those who don't know, Styli Style is known for the liners longevity on the skin. They are smudgeproof, waterproof and rub proof. So these babies really are long lasting, that's why I love them :)

Here's a closer look at the Fuchsia, it sort of looks a little purple to me

Here's the swatch of Fuchsia, it wasn't the HOT PINK I was expecting since it turned out a little purple, but I guess it's okay, it's an addition to my collection.


Here's a closer look at the Orange, isn't it so vibrant? :)


Here's the swatch of the Orange, i really love it, it's so vibrant and really is orange. :)


Here's a swatch of Fuchsia and Orange together.

Overall, I really love Styli Style products because they really achieve what they promise. And so far, none have failed me. :) I suggest everyone have them in their kits. :) I purchase mine over ebay since they are way more cheaper than when you buy them in the malls. It's the same banana anyway. :)


On another note, I'd like to share with everyone what happened to my MAC Pro Palette containing my neutral shadows and also known as my Bridal Palette. Here's the rundown, I dropped the Palette and smash, I heard the shadows scatter. I was scared for my life! I almost cried at the thought of my babies being shattered. But thank God, when I got them back the shadows only suffered minimum damage, here it is:

Overall, Im thankful that they are still all in good condition. :)

Here's a closer look at the most damage it did:
Embark was reduced to almost half

Vanilla chipped a little and the pan has a small dent.

So i'm glad that all the shadows are intact still. I will definitely be more careful next time! :)


Toodles! :)

Styli Style + Accessories + Clothes Haul + FOTD

Hey Girls, today I'll be doing a haul post from my recent purchases. If you remember from a few months back, I made an entry about Styli Style liners and how awesome they were. I had bought those for PHP400+ each at Beauty Bar and now I found out that these were selling on ebay at PHP60 - PHP75 each!!! So here's my Styli Style Haul from MEG, an awesome seller from Ebay. :)

Meg is so nice she gave me a Creme Eye Trio as a freebie. :) So Sweet. :)


Review and swatch of each liner to follow. :)


Today I also received my Young Hollywood inspired bracelet from Aika. :) It is so beautiful I can't wait to sport it. :)




Moving on to other items, I was at my favorite Department Store: SM earlier today to do a little shopping. Here are the things I bought:


2 headbands with funky designs that can pass as statement pieces :)

Leopard print cotton bubble dress

Cotton vest with Stud design

Jersey Cotton top with zipper sleeve detail

There were so much more clothes I wanted to buy at SM but I had to stop myself since I plan to go clothes and accessory shopping in Singapore since I'll be there next week. SM has the most wicked clothing ever. I hardly go clothes shopping but I like being a little fashionista with classic pieces. I'm more of an accessories girl hence the bling bling head bands. I am into statement pieces and I am hard to please when it comes to clothing. I want each piece of clothing to be a statement piece on its own. But SM is an exception when it comes to clothing. I loveeee their clothes because they are so funky! Oh and don't forget about their shoes! They have such affordable funky shoes too! :) I am a certified SM Department store fan hehe. :)

Just to end my post, here's my FOTD doing the Prime Look that we did during makeup class last Saturday. I basically used the same products as my model Kathy except the different color of Graftobian Foundation. :)




Toodles! :)


P.S my Schedule will be crazy starting Thursday, I do hope to find time to blog within those days!

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

A pic of the swatch of 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! :)
