Fairydrops Platinum Waterproof Mascara - Review, Photos, Swatches

Tweet

Fairydrops Platinum Waterproof Mascara is one of my favorite mascaras, ever! I first heard of Fairydrops when I started watching makeup tutorials in Youtube. This mascara always comes up, especially when the look requires a doll-like pair of eyes. The genius engineering and design of the mascara wand (which I think is patented by Fairydrops), combined with the amazing formula really helps in making short and stubborn lashes look fuller and more visible. 

Fairdyrops is unfortunately unavailable in the Philippines, so when I went to Hong Kong this year, one of my missions was to grab this fabulous mascara. I got this for 110HKD, roughly P550 that time. Pretty affordable given its performance. It really lived up to its hype! It didn't irritate my eyes, kept my lashes up and full all day, and I didn't get raccoon eyes at the end of the day. I really hope they'll be available in the Philippines soon.

Avon True Color Eye Shadow Quad in Q910 - Review, Photos, Swatches

Tweet

Avon True Color Eye Shadow Quad in Q910 is a fun palette that has colors that are appropriate for summer and fall. It has 2 shimmery colors and 2 matte ones. This is my first eye shadow quad from Avon (my first eye shadow anything to be exact). I like color combination here since they really work well together. Texture wise, I'm loving the shimmery ones more than the matte ones. The shimmer shadows (left column) has a decent color payoff, buildable and easy to apply. The matte shadows (right column)  has fallouts and a little chalky in texture. The color payoff needs some work and I really had to reapply and reapply to get the pack of color that I want. It comes in a pretty sleek compact with mirror and sponge-tip applicator and it doesn't have any scent.

PROS: The set is balanced with 2 shimmery shades and 2 matte shades. The colors are perfect for summer and fall. Like any other palettes, this is fun to play and experiment with.It has no scent and easy to tote around.

CONS: They need to work on the color payoff and texture, especially with the matte ones. Longevity is so-so.

VERDICT:

 I will not repurchase but I will recommend for others to try it for themselves.

SM City Fairview - Spot for North Metro’s Fashionistas

Tweet

Last August 24,  SM City Fairview took a notch higher by staging again a major fashion show, dubbed as “Lookbook” at the Annex Atrium. The said fashion show meant to showcase the newest collections from the brands featured, including Celine (CLN), Charlie, Elle Girl, Folded & Hung, Mags, Oxygen, Penshoppe, Plains and Prints, Regatta, Sanuk, Scoop Project, Sketchers, Tomato, Una Rosa, SM Accessories, SM Men’s Fashion – Just Delivered Jeans. I guess this is just a way of SM City Fairview to show that they are indeed a mall that also caters to fashionistas . 

Disregarding a few technical glitches, I would say that the fashion was a success. Everyone paid attention and had fun watching models sashaying down the runway with those fabulous clothes, and without. ;)

I was so stoked to see Daniel Matsunaga, especially when he came out shirtless. Fangirls among the audience roared, applauded, and whistled with excitement and admiration. Top Filipina models including Wilma Doesnt  also graced the runway which I think is only appropriate, since 90% of the models were foreigners.

The Fashion Show

Penshoppe

Outfits of the 3 girls were from Oxygen

MAGS

I believe these are Scoop Project's outfits

Plains and Prints

My favorites would be Tomato and Mags. I love the pop of color with Tomato's fresh and young pieces while I love Scoop Project's classic and elegant dresses. :)

I saw a few capris, which I'm not a fan of. I don't like wearing pants that cut me off because it makes my legs look shorter and stubbier. I'm also not a fan of printed pants for the same reason (except if the print is actually flattering, of course).

Daniel Matsunaga looks really good with and without clothes, right? *Fangirl-ing again

Disney On Ice presents Princesses and Heroes

Tweet

I'm a certified Disney kid. I loved (and still do) my Disney movie collection and I believe those stories somehow contributed to my upbringing.

My favorite Disney Princesses are Aurora and Belle. Aurora, because of her beauty and grace, while Belle for her strength and wit (and she's pretty too, of course). Watching those Disney movies or just seeing the characters is very nostalgic for me, bringing me back to my younger years.

And now, we can all relive our fondest memories with our favorite Disney Princesses and Heroes!
