Hellos! Just wanted to share some items I bought over some time but never had the time to post it here.
Let’s start with Makeup products:
1) ELF Studio Golden Bronzer
· I forgot the exact price but this is less than PHP300 (around USD6)
· This actually is my fourth palette because I lost the first one and the 2nd and 3rd I accidentally dropped it on the floor resulting to a damage and broken palette =(
· It contains 4 shades and I get to use all four shades most of the time
· Some people find it too shimmery, but not for me as I find the bronzer really prefect for contouring and the blush really great for a natural pinkish look!
· I find this really multi-purpose as I use some of the shades for eyebrow shading and lining the eyes too
· It is a bit sheer but I actually prefer sheer and subtle bronzer compared to overly pigmented shade because it gives you a much natural illusion
· Been using this for more than a year and this is still my HG Bronzer ever
2) ELF Brightening Eye Shadow #11006
· I bought this at around PHP125 but I saw this only USD1 at ELF site
· The is a pretty tiny palette but since all four shades are shimmery I think the amount provided is just adequate
· All shades are really pretty especially for brightening purpose as they are quite glowy and sparkling
· Ideal use for night events and parties ^_~
3) ELF Eyeshadow compact in Natural #11012
· This is around PHP275 but ELF website sold this for only USD3
· Pigmentation is acceptable and it doesn’t appear chalky or had any fallout
· Overall, loving this simple compact palette for everyday on-the-go
4) Ever Bilena: EXTREME Lipstick Pink -A- Boo
· Shade is a bit sheer but its totally buildable and appears nicely on lips
· Smells super sweet like a cotton candy and gives lips a dewy look
Now, onto Facial Cleansers:
· Bought this and used it as my 1st step cleansing but it leaves my skin oily and does not really cleanses well enough
· If you have oily combination skin, best to skip this as this would make skin more oily >_<
· Lather well enough and cleanses skin thoroughly
· Stings eyes
· My skin reacted quite badly on this as it made my skin develop some rashes and cystic acne! (talk about having a certified organice ingredients!)
Moving on with Hair Care products: Shampoos
1) PALMERS: Olive Oil Shampoo USD 5.59
· I have dry scalp and frizzy hair and I absolutely love how this shampoo makes my hair softer and smoother
· I am quite diligent in choosing my shampoo because one of the reason why I broke out badly before is due to the harsh shampoo I am using. This shampoo is safe for acne-prone as it doesn’t trigger any breakouts while using this
2) JASON: Fragrance Free Shampoo USD 8.92
· Comes in a transparent gel type consistency and doesn’t lather much
· It makes my hair dry and tangled
3) JASON: Dandruff Relief Shampoo USD 10.87
· Smells a bit strong similar to a minty scent
· Comes in light green liquidity consistency and doesn’t lather much
· Scalp will feel cool and fresh
· My hair is not that itchy anymore and dandruff has been reduced (but still tend to have some)
Lastly, SkinCare Products:
1) Vaseline: Lip Theraphy Petroleum Jelly USD 1.66
· Keeps my dry and cracked lip super moisturized and healthy looking
· I also use this on my Eczema attack and it works super well as it helps heal my eczema
· This was a sample size and was given to me by The Body Shop
· I use this mainly on my Eczema attack and it works pretty ok but I prefer the Vaseline more as it provides more moisture
· It did hurt a bit on my first application since my Eczema is all sore and swollen
· It does help minimize the redness but the dryness on skin is still there
That’s all for the collective hauls and reviews! Any product you have tried above? Share your experience! ^_~
