I bought these on a whim, as I am wont to do so whenever I see something new and shiny. When these landed on my lap, I found myself basically clueless about what I'll do with them. It didn't come with a box or a nice packaging to tell me the names or the uses of the brushes. 

Not that I'm whining. I knew that I was buying an unbranded set of kabuki brushes. Even the seller at Shopee didn't have any description about the brushes so I did my homework. I went to trying each of them and boy did they feel so soft on my skin.


But ooops! They smelled faintly of adhesives so before I went to far, I decided to wash them first. No fallout; no fading colors whatsoever. I saw some strays but it was easily solved by a pair of scissors. Of course I wanted to post a review but I wasn't sure about the names so I put Google to work. 

Would you actually believe that I found a branded but same-looking set of brushes? Yup! The only differences are the colors of the handles and the printed label on the handle. The ferrules and duo fiber bristles look similar. I can't say if the softness of the bristles are similar though but this unbranded set, which was touted as a 10-Piece Kabuki Brush on Shopee has really soft bristles and they don't feel scratchy on my skin.

When we get to the bottom of this post I'm going to show you which branded brushes look similar to this unbranded one that I got from Shopee.

Ladies, here's the rundown. 

The Flat Top Brush
I think this one also goes by the name of Buffing Brush,which is ideal for "buffing" liquid foundation onto the skin, making the application more even.

The Tapered Brush
According to Google a tapered brush works great for applying powder products onto the cheekbones and temples with blush or bronzer. The tapered tip is also ideal for gently contouring the face. (www.sigmabeauty.com). I have tried using this tapered brush in outlining the contours on my cheekbones, jawline and forehead and I fell in love with this brush that I promised I'm not contouring again without using this. The length and the stiffness of the brush is just perfect for the job: not too stiff, not too soft either. With this, I am sure that the contouring lines I've drawn are even and come blending, my contours would be even in color too.

The Angled Contouring Brush/ 
The Round Blending Brush
Now, after using the Tapered Brush for drawing the contours, I use these alternately for blending. The bristles are uber-soft and dense.

The Powder Brush
The bristles are also soft but I prefer my powder brushes to have longer and fluffier bristles. I have other powder brushes so this could serve as a back up. 


The Small Round Blending Face Brush/ 
The Small Angled Blending Face Brush
These are mini versions of the Angled and Round Blending Face Brushes and could serve various purposes in blending powder products. Since they are smaller, they can fit into the little corners of the face like around the nose or they eyes.

The Small Tapered Brush
This one is also just a smaller version of the aforementioned Tapered Brush. I can see how this one would be perfect in drawing contours on the nose area. 

The Small Flat Top Brush/
The Small Angled Flat Top Brush
These are also smaller versions of the Angled and Flat Top Brushes and honestly I haven't used them that much since I'm having a brush overload. I used them to apply a little of highlighter on the sides of my face and on the nose bridge. 

BTW, I'm really not kidding about the branded brushes that look similar to this set. It's from BH Cosmetics and here's a photo of it.
BH Cosmetics 10 Piece Sculpt And Blend Brush Set
I got this unbranded 10-Piece Kabuki Brush from Shopee, for Php 250.00 (no more than 6 USD) and honestly at this price point, for 10 pieces of brushes that are soft and non-scratchy, I think I have the good end of the deal.

I've been using these mostly for sculpting and contouring and I think I've improved a great deal in my game while using this.

Here's a review of the Sleek MakeUp Mineral Based Eyeshadow  Palette, for all the eyeshadow junkees out there. 

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Mineral Based Eyeshadow Palette
Shade: Oh So Special
Regular Price: € 10.49 or roughly Php 565.00 (www.sleekmakeup.com)
Where I Got It: Shopee//Seller: offbeatalley//Price: Php 550.00

"Oh So Special" Shade Names
My Take
So, I am not a beauty guru. I don't have multiple eyeshadow palettes at my disposal. So when I have one, it means that it's the one that I will be using until I hit the pan or it expires. The last eyeshadow palette that I owned was the BYS 8 Neutral Matte Palette. Like I said, I used it until I hit the pans, broke the plastic packaging and the shadows hardened and were starting to smell funny. By the time 2017 came, I knew I had to grab a new palette. The BYS palette was composed of mattes in neutral colors and I thought that if I grabbed a replacement palette I will go for one that has a combination of mattes and shimmers, in different hues. Neutrals are a practical, classic choice but I'm just a girl and I get bored too and shimmers and different colors are a perfect way to instantly change one's look.

I had my eyes on L'oreal's La Palette Nudes but it still came at Php 800.00 and I thought I could still find something more affordable. Maybelline's The Blushed Nudes looked pretty at Php 675.00 but the reviews were not so great. I stumbled upon Sleek Makeup at Zalora and I instantly got interested when I read good reviews about their eyeshadows. It was on the same price point with the MNY Blushed Nudes but to my surprise, I found a cheaper one at Shopee - just Php 550.00! Of course I was hesitant to buy but after reading great feedbacks about the Seller and the quality of the Sleek Eyeshadows, I took the risk. You can read about my first Shopee shopping experience here.

Ingredients
More deets.
Let's just say that the risk paid off. When the package arrived, the first thing I checked was the expiry date. We're still a long way from 2019, according to the tag, so thanks goodness for that. It's made in China and I have twelve months to consume it upon opening. Check out the names of eyeshadows below.

Details
Okay, I know the photo above is not great and it's kinda hard to figure out the shade so let's just check out the palette itself. There are twelve pans and this side here are on the lighter, pinkish sides.

Palette up close. Left to Right. Top: Bow, Organza, Ribbon//Bottom: Pamper, Gateau, The Mail
And on the darker, smokier side....
Palette Up close: Left to Right: Top: Gift Basket, Glitz, Celebrate// Bottom: Boxed, Wrapped Up, Noir
Shades + Description + Comments
Bow - It's a matte vanilla shade that I wished would show up more on the swatches. I use it mostly as base to take away the oiliness of my lids. It can also be used for highlighting the brow bone.
Organza - It's a shimmery rosy pink with beautiful color payoff. Texture is buttery and doesn't fallout. It doesn't look so pink on the swatch but it is pinkish in real life. 
Ribbon - It's a matte pink that I don't really get to use very often. It has average pigmentation and powdery texture with minimal fallout.
Gift Basket - It's a shimmery brown with buttery texture and no fallout.
Glitz - It's a lovely shimmery gray-blue shade that is really glitzy in every way. Buttery texture, great color payoff and no fallout.
Celebrate - The shimmery plum! I have every reason to celebrate about this one. Quality is same as Glitz.
Pamper - It's a matte light pink that's as sheer in pigmentation as Bow and barely shows on the swatches. I've used this as a base for the other pink colors in this palette.
Gateau - Another TDF shade in this palette. It's a shimmery lilac with gold undertone. Same quality with the other shimmers.
The Mail - It's a matte peanut butter brownish color that I use mostly as base to take away the discoloration. 
Boxed - This one's a matte chocolate brown which I use mostly for drawing my brows.
Wrapped Up - Another matte dark brown which I use for contouring my lids.
Noir - The matte black which I use as an eyeliner.

Overall, Bow and Pamper are my least faves because they barely show on my skin. Ribbon and The Mail are average on my list. The rest are hits. The shimmers and the darker colors are specially lovely.

Swatches + In Action
This photo of swatches are kinda washed out. In real life, the colors are really vivid with the exception of Bow and Pamper.

It's my one and only eye palette so I basically use this everyday when I go to the office. I'm glad that it has a dark chocolate brown color (Boxed) that I can use as brow powder and there's also a black one (Noir) which is perfect as an eyeliner. It's very convenient.

I don't use an eyeshadow primer underneath these but the color payoff is still vivid, except Bow and Pamper of course. I apply these in the morning and by noontime there would be fading but I rarely put on more of it. I just run a fluffy eyeshadow brush and they still look fine on me.

To sum up, I love majority of the colors, except the duds. They look lovely and the textures are great. A big plus for me would be the sturdy packaging. It doesn't seem like the the hinges will be giving  up anytime soon and thank God for that because I plan to use this for the entire year and I hope I would be able to hit the pans. That would be so satisfying. It also comes with a wide mirror underneath that cover. I'm giving this an A+ for convenience.

Despite a few duds, I really love this palette and it's one of my best eyeshadow purchases ever. This also happens to be on my favorites list for the month of February.

This is me, trying hard to put some words together to write a blog post despite the writer's block that I am experiencing. I'm basically having a brain hemorrhage while doing this. My only consolation in this moment of deficiency is that I can still do graphics. See ⇓⇓⇓ ? Thank God for the holy Photoshop and all the angels behind it! At least I can still express myself in this manner.

This little spread was inspired by florals and pastels. I added a good amount of hearts too, aside from the word itself. After all, Feb's the love month. 

Like I said, I'm really struggling with words so I'll just leave you with the rest of this post. It took me more than a week to compose this blog post. Slow month. It's a capsule post comprised of some favorites, a few mini hauls and one big event that happened on the Love Month. Care to guess what that is? I hope you get to the bottom of this blog post. (*_*)




FAVORITES
I've had previous posts about monthly favorites but I'd only included beauty products or makeups. For a change, I thought I might include some other sorts of favorites like movies or music or books, or other interests. Here come the favorites for this month!


SLEEK MAKEUP I-DIVINE MINERAL BASED EYESHADOW PALETTE IN OH SO SPECIAL
I purchased this one from SHOPEE last January but I only got to use it fully on February. Truly, there are so many palettes to choose from Sleek's I Divine collection. I picked this "Oh So Special" one because it has a combination of pretty pink pastels, basic browns and smoky ones, in a mixture of mattes and shimmer. It can take me through any mood and any occasion. I will be using this throughout 2017 and hopefully I will feel the satisfaction of hitting the pan.

Hacksaw Ridge//Image Credit: www.crimsonmultimedia.com
HACKSAW RIDGE
I spent Valentine's Day night cuddling with my husband, watching this. Yes, our daughter was holding a bowl of cheese-flavored popcorn, squeezed in between us. How romantic! No hint of sarcasm there, we really do love war movies.

Okay, much has been said about this movie and I won't go into details anymore. On my part however, I decided to go blindly when I watched this: I didn't read reviews, didn't see the trailer, didn't know the plot. I loved the romantic and comic beginnings but I was surprised at where the story was taking me. Needless to say, I ended up wiping tears with my cheese powder-stained hands. My daughter will have been asleep by the time we got to the  gory part, thank God! Andrew Garfield playing Spidey was iconic but from now on I will always remember him as Desmond Doss. I know my Enemy At The Gates, Fury, Pearl Harbor, Saving Private Ryan, Unbroken, Schindler's List, etc. but Hacksaw Ridge is just wow! Watch it if you haven't already.

BUYS

FLORAL LIGHT PLANNER IN GREEN
Where I Got It: Shopee Philippines//Seller:jennruiz of FabuLESS Shoppe
How Much: Php 127.00
I've been looking for a planner at the start of 2017 but as much as possible I didn't want to purchase anything pricey, after all, it's still just a notebook, right? Hey, it's an individual's prerogative if he or she wants a fancy Starbucks planner. But I didn't see the need for that so I really tried to find something affordable, functional and lovely.  Thank God I found this one at Shopee. What I love about it is that it's open dated - there are no indicated years or dates on it. I can use it beyond 2017 and it's up to me put the dates. About 50 more leaves can be used as a journal, diary, wishlist, listahan ng may utang, etc. Saya! It's perfect for someone like me who commits everything to writing aka malilimutin na.


HAPPY DAY KOREAN SIGN PEN
Where I Got It: Shopee Philippines//Seller:jennruiz of FabuLESS Shoppe
How Much: Php 120.00
When I picked up that planner, I thought it should come with some colorful pens to write it with. The pens also have cute designs, I feel like a child just having them around. That's Php 120.00 pesos for ten pieces. Hopefully I can fight the writer's block with these.


 MANGO LEOPARD PRINT ZIP WALLET
Where I Got It: Lazada PH
How Much: Php 650.00//Discounted from €25 or about Php 1300.00
I was thrilled when this one arrived at the start of February because it was shipped from abroad and I thought it would arrive at a later time. It came well packaged, complete with a price tag and smelled like it just came out of a factory; it's pretty much legit MNG to me. The leopard print is really lovely and the material is soft, however it can easily get scratched (you can see the white marks on the photo). That's the reason why I couldn't fall head over heels over this one. That's one of the hitches. About a month into using it I'm having trouble with the zipper because it's not running smoothly. So heads up ladies. If you ever want to purchase something like this from Lazada, those are the troubles that I ran into. But I'll make the most of it, I'm not tossing it easily, after all, leopard print is still F-I-E-R-C-E.

I read the tags inside and it says that the outer part is made of 88% Polyurethane, 12% Bovine Leather, and the lining is 100% Polyester. It was made in China. 

MOMENTS :)
Mayora Ding Suan looking kilig. Ha ha.


......aaaaaaaaaaand surprise! Dan and I have gotten married. It happened last February 21, 2017 - 02-21-2017 - the date had a nice ring to it so I pushed for IT to happen on that day. There's really nothing much to explain here. We have been together since 2010; we have Celestine. Although, never in my wildest dream did I ever imagine that this would be the wedding setup. 

If somebody told me seven years ago that I would be married in the Mayor's Office, in a town called Allen, with two police officers as witnesses, I would have screamed "SHUT UP!". But here we are. I'm a legit missus. :) Thanks for the greetings.

See, there's a lot to love during the love month. ;)

XO,
Carissa

Here's my current go-to brow tool: The Witch's Pouch Selfie Perfect Eyebrow and Imma  do a quick review after the jump.


This one is still part of my Althea shopping spree late last year, so if you want to read about my feedback about shopping with Althea, click here.

WITCH'S POUCH SELFIE PERFECT EYEBROW
Shade: Gray Brown
Price: about Php 150.00
Where I Got It: ph.althea.kr
That's about an inch of eyebrow product for each retractable pencil.
Eyebrow-logy
Defining the eyebrows is essential, especially for us girls who were not particularly blessed with an abundant pair. I have a pair of sparse ones, and ever since I was in college I have been doing my best to make up for what is lacking in the brow department. I have learned how to use a brow pencil although sometimes I tend to overdo the drawing (oops). I also have learned how to shave away those little hairs, just so my lids would look neat. I can say that I have improved greatly in my brow fixing skills. Kilay is life, they would say. It frames the face; it's an instant look upgrade. Personally, I feel more forward, comfortable and confident at work if my brows are looking on fine or as the girls of these days say it, "on fleek".

However, let's be honest. How many of us actually have the time to fix our brows in the morning? In between preparing to go to work and helping your kid to prepare for school, do you still time to slay the kilay game? Well, this product has been helping me look presentable in a breeze.
Labels
"Eyebrow liner that has excellent adhesiveness to express delicate brow lines."

My Take
I'll just say it first thing and upfront: I love this eyebrow liner from Witch's Pouch. The size of the tip is just right for drawing those tiny, feather-like strokes. The liner is also not too soft, so lines drawn don't end up looking messy. Color payoff is also great. Gray Brown is a good match for black-haired Filipinas such as me.
Labels.
Just a bunch of Korean stuff we can't read here, LOL. :)
I am hopeless when it comes to the Korean language and I'm not a KPOP fan either so I cannot read anything in here. Maybe the ingredients list is written.

If there's anything that I am not happy about this one, it's that the liner is kinda short. :( Thankfully it came with an extra refill that but that's just about two inches of pencil liners combined and won't last long if you draw your eyebrows every single day.

Can't complain about having a nice spoolie on the other end, very convenient.
The pencil tip and the spoolie.
WITCH'S POUCH SELFIE PERFECT EYEBROW GRAY BROWN SWATCH
Swatched.
So here's the swatch in Gray Brown which is really a perfect match for my hair color. I thought dark brown would be great but I think this type of color is a better match for me. For reference, I've put some water on the swatch, you can see that it's not really waterproof. I don't really sweat excessively enough to dissolve these on my brows, so no worries. 
After going through a bit of water.
WITCH'S POUCH SELFIE PERFECT EYEBROW GRAY BROWN IN ACTION
Here's an example on how I work it on my brows. Not perfect yet but like I said, we're there. :) And the Witch's Pouch Selfie Perfect Eyebrow Liner has been a great companion.
Kill-ayin it!
To recap, I love how convenient this product is. It's in a pencil form so you can easily pack it in your purse or you can easily store it at home and it won't take a lot of space. It comes with a spoolie so you don't need to pack an extra brush in case you need to bring this around. Using it is easy and mess-free with that small tip. It looks natural on the brows. You know I've seen those too perfect brows on YouTube and Instagram and I know they look gorge but I think it looks too made up and maybe perfect for a beauty pageant or something but for an  on-the-go working mama like me, natural looking brows are a good way to go. 

I would have been happier if it contained more product. Or if I actually hoarded this when it was still on Althea coz right now they're sold-out. I'm running on my refills now and the pencil kind of breaks too when you get to the very end. Anyway, the pencils lasted for about three months on me. Looks like I'll be on the look out for a new kilay product soon.

"...You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye 
and I got that red lip, classic thing that you like."
-Style.Taylor Swift

I'm borrowing lines from Taylor Swift again. I do have a love-hate relationship with this girl. :) I have just finished watching the 1989 WORLD TOUR for the nth time on my computer (I wish it were live!) and  I suddenly felt like wearing red lipstick again since it's T-Swizzles trademark lip color. Geez! The "T-Swizzle" monicker is so Fearless-era BTW! Ha ha. Anyway, the 1989 documentary has one too many close-up shots of Taylor, hard not to get inspired by those puckers. So I grabbed my own current go-to red lippie and decided to do a review here in my blog. Chop chop after the jump!


Meet the ABBAMART Get Your Lip Crayon in shade Red Velvet. Before I get to the review, here's Taylor working the stage at the 1989 World Tour. ;)
It's the new soundtrack I could dance to this beat. Welcome to New York, y'all!
 ABBAMART Get Your Lip Crayon
Shade: Red Velvet
Price: Php 320.00
Where I Got It: The Althea Online Shop//www.ph.althea.kr

This one was part of my Althea mini haul back in November. I don't really wear red lipsticks that often but there are days when you need a pop of color, or you just feel bold and fierce, or you just feel inspired by Tay's style, so for me it's still smart to keep one in your stash.

The red lippie in my current stash is this one from ABBAMART which is a Korean brand. The packaging definitely caught my attention on first sight. It does look like a crayon or a pen. With the cap on, it could definitely pass for an office supply. (^_^)

It is retractable; no need to sharpen anything. You can see from the photo above that the bullet is pretty slim. It has a fruity smell that at first I couldn't put a name on but when I checked the Althea website it says it has grapefruit smell so I was like, okay, it is a bit tangy. 

Color description at Althea says that it is a cherry red color.

ABBAMART GET YOUR LIP CRAYON RED VELVET SWATCHES
Outdoor, natural light
Indoor, with flash
ABBAMART GET YOUR LIP CRAYON RED VELVET IN ACTION
Sorry about the baggies. :) This was taken indoor with no flash.
MY TAKE
It is a lovely bright red color with blue undertone. It instantly brightens up my face when I put it on. What you see on tube is what you get on your lips. It is matte but not drying. It easily spreads on the lips and easily blends. It doesn't emphasize lines, no patchiness. 

But, it transfers. The color stays bright, it can even survive lunchtime but has the tendency to move to the edges of your lips. It can be easily solved by pressing your lips together and it still looks vivid. I also struggled a bit with the rounded tip of the lippie because I couldn't apply on the tiny corners of the lip.

Here's how my lips look before applying, after and about 4 hours after application.

ABBAMART Get You Lip Crayon on my lips until 4 hours. 
Korean makeup and cosmetics have taken the world by storm and it's not bad if we Pinoys want a little piece of it for ourselves. This Lip Crayon is perfect for the K-Makeup fans out there who dig cute packaging and good performance from their purchases.
When we hear the term matte lipstick we think that it would be horribly dry on the lips but I have experienced none of that with this lippie. No chapping too so that is a big plus.

It's still available on Athea and it has other color varieties: Scarlet and Bad Girl (Burgundy)

That song line at the start of this post is from Tay's Style and that's basically how red lips are: they never go out of style.

It feels like only yesterday when 2017 started and now here we are in the middle of February. It will be summer soon so let's enjoy the few days left when we wake up to cold mornings, breezy noons and rainy afternoons. How time flies, indeed. And every time I look at my blog, I'm appalled at how much of a slacker I've become, with no blog entries for February. Whaaaat! What is happenin' to me? Well, anyway, to fix that situation, I am posting my favorite products for January Twenty-Seventeen. If I may repeat it again (!), the weather's been cold and I have suffered from a few issues skin dryness and just coldness in general. I'll stop blabbin' and start talking about the products. All products were purchased by me, no PR stuff here just me sharing my favorites and some quick comments. ;)



Nichido Final Powder in Shade Ivory Glow
- A very affordable finishing powder (Php 150 for a tub of 25g) but don’t easily dismiss it because of its low price tag. The fine powder is great for baking purposes and I love how I still look good after wearing it all day. Price: Php 150.00//Got Mine At: Watsons Robinsons Place Tacloban


Suesh Concealer Pot in Shade C210
- I may have found a holy grail concealer with this one from Suesh. It’s yellow toned and perfect for cancelling those dark circles. It does cake so make sure to prep the under eye area beforehand and don’t forget to set with powder (like the Nichido Final Powder) so that it stays put. I will be posting a review of this soon! Price: Php 110.00//Got Mine At: www.beautymnl.com

The Suesh Concealer in Shade C210
Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Oil
- January’s cold weather has left us all feeling brrrrr and yes, our skins have dried up too! Thank God I still had this beauty oil in my stash. I have used it as a body moisturizer and it’s doing great in keeping my skin soft and smooth. And since it’s made of oil, it also help keep the skin feeling warm. Price: Php 175.00// Got Mine At: www.humanheartnature.com

Nivea Crème
- Still for fighting the dryness bout. Since it comes in a very compact tin container, it’s perfect for carrying around. Price: Php 153.00 (gift pack with 4 Nivea products)//Got Mine At: local Mercury Drug store


Tresemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner
- Ok, am I such a looser for trying out the Treseme line just recently? Well, maybe. Ha ha! It's really good, I couldn't keep my hands off my hair. Seriously. ;) Price: Php 120.00 each//Got Mine At: local Mercury Drug

Maybelline Baby Lips Love Color Lip Balm in Cherry Kiss and ColorSensational Creamy Matte Lipstick in Nude Nuance
- I got two lippie products from Maybelline on this list. One is for giving a nice and subtle hint of color and the other one is for a more vampy look. Thankfully they are both non-drying so my puckers are well taken cared of. Price: Php 88.00 (Lip Balm) from Watsons//Php 299.00 (Nude Nuance) from wwwbeautymnl.com

That would be me, wearing a subtle hint of Maybelline's Nude Nuance. 
Witch's Pouch Selfie Perfect Eyebrow in Gray Brown
- It has a twist up mechanism so we can do away with sharpening. It also comes with a spoolie on the other end so there's no need to bring an additional brush, especially if you've got a small purse. I got this one from Althea for less than Php 150.00, I think. It's super sulit for its price. I will also be reviewing this one soon. Price: discounted at Php 120.00-ish from ph.althea.kr

Musings, Thought Bubbles :)

My youth is yours.
This January too, I found myself listening to Troye Sivan's Youth a lot. The song was released like, eons ago and I've only discovered it recently because I'm no longer that young and I barely have time to check out what's on Billboard's Hot 100. Excuses. But gosh! It made me long for younger more carefree days; it made me miss my hometown, my family, my crazy siblings, my good ol' friends from college. Sigh! The only things I don't miss about being eighteen were the pimples and the Math subjects. Ha ha! But here we are. Seize the golden moment; treasure the wonderful memories.

"My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls"
