FOTD: My Everyday Look

This is my first time to post something like this, so please, please bear with me. :D And FOTD still stands for Face of the Day and not Friend of the Devil. LOL.

So here it goes. ;)

Me and my favorite (and applicable) statement shirt. LOL.

This is my everyday look. It's just simple because I only go to school  on weekdays and malls on weekends. That's it, the life of an accounting student. LOL. I just play around with colors depending on my mood, and at times, I mean most of the times, do winged lines on my eyelids.

Here are the products I've used to create this look:

Etude House BB Magic Cream Refreshing
Tony Moly Baby Doll Pot Concealer Natural Beige
Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra Shine Free Powder Foundation Honey
Fashion 21 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner Blackest Black
Avon Simply Pretty Long Lash Waterproof Mascara
Etude House Styling Eyeliner 02 White
elf Natural Radiance Blush in Glow
Lip Ice Lipbalm in Strawberry

Sophie Martin J'adore Lipstick Summer Pink

For this look, I focus on my eyes. I usually line my eyelids thicker than the usual (but not excessively thick as with ulzzangs and gyarus) because my eyes are small and I use my comfy eyeglasses all the time. (I still haven't decided when I'm gonna use contact lens because they're not supposed to be ordinary contact lens, I need toric lens. They're not as inexpensive as contact lens and I'm scared of wasting money in case I find it too difficult to use and maintain. Any suggestions, dearies?)

Anyway, I find makeup fun (though I think I should also have fun reading my books and reviewers) and I always look forward to that 10-20 minutes of making my face before being harassed by the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila. :)

Haul: Skin Care and Make up Addiction

Since I've had the Etude House haul, I've been addicted to make up in general.

Oh I know. If you know me, you have already seen me addicted to group buying and daily deal sites. And yes, make up is my new addiction. And welcome! LOL. :)

As I was saying, I can't help but add a few things to my daily make up and skin care routine. I've loved skin care ever since, but I've grown to like make up too. :)

And for the past few weeks, here's what I've got (and been using).

Natural Mask Ad Pomegranate (P58)

Natural Mask Ad Lemon (P58)

Natural Mask Ad Aloe Vera (P58)
Natural Mask Ad Pearl Extract (P58)

I like face masks and I've been using them ever since the Etude House haul. I'm using one every three days. :)

Green Tea Nose Pack (P38)

Black Head Remover Dual Sheet (P78)

I've already tried the Etude House nose pack and I can say that it does its job. As for the blackhead remover, I'm contemplating on when to use it since I've read bad reviews about it. Probably, I've lost the excitement with this blackhead remover dual sheet.

I also bought their cheap mascara and styling eyeliner. I'll review these two on another post. :)

Oh~ m'Eye Lash Volume and Longlash (P198)
Styling Eyeliner 02 (P128)

And can I ever forget to drop by Tony Moly in Megamall. :D I've been restraining myself from buying stuffs from this store because I'm waiting for the membership card. But now that it's available, I'll surely buy few stuffs next week. Oooh, I'm excited. :)

Charcoal Nose Pack (P28)
Essential Mask Sheet Pack Pomegranate (P58)
Essential Mask Sheet Pack Green Tea (P58)

I like Korean stuffs, but still I can't forget to buy stuffs from other stores. :) So far, I'm liking elf because of the affordable quality products. But anyway, there's no elf product in this photo because I'm lazy on getting them. Hehehe.

Ever Bilena Dip Liner (P150)
Sophie J'adore Lipstick in Summer Pink (P79)
Ever Bilena Grip Germany Premium Eyelash Curler (P150)
Nichido Girls' Night Out Eye Pencil 04 Nice Gal (P80)
Gatsby Oil Clear Sheet (P119)
Maybelline Clear Smooth Foundation in Honey (P249)

As you can see, I'm quite a late bloomer when it comes to these things. And for the meantime, I'm completing my starter kit. LOL. If you have something that you can recommend, please tell me. I'd be happy to try them. :)

By the way, I really have an oily skin. :)

Review: Etude House Oh~ m'Eye Line 02 Gray

Okay, so I thought maybe it was high time that I made a review from the products I bought from Etude House during the Grand Sale.

I didn't want to create reviews immediately because I believed that first impressions didn't always last. It does not only apply to people, but also for products, except of course, for food and its taste. :)

Etude House Vita Foam Mine Bite Me P148
Etude House Oh~m'Eye Line 02 Gray P198
Etude House Yogurt Peel with Black Food Mix

I bought the Etude House Oh~ m'Eye Line 02 Gray. It was my first time using a liquid eyeliner, though when I usually browse YouTube, I always saw those make-up artists using this one. And I was like--wow! LOL. But it's true. :P

At first, I was really happy with this liquid eyeliner. (probably it's because my first one) I thought that I could easily create and was really creating a fine line. But then, after using it a couple of weeks, I was slowly getting disappointed. With that, I'll start with the cons.

Cons:

1. I found the brush tip thin enough but too long and could be hard to control and tacky to use. I was a newbie here as you know and was really not used to it. I was also thinking that a short brush tip could be better and easier to control. Nevertheless, I think that it could still create a decent line if you're 'semi-used' to lining your eyes.

2. The bottle could get really messy. After a couple of uses, I already saw dry eyeliner piled up on the rim or mouth of the bottle. I always cleaned it, but then the next day I saw the same mess again. I think the bottle should not be put in your kikay kit and carried around to avoid this.

3. If you're using eyeliner like everyday, I think the bottle won't last for a while because of the piled up mess.

4. The packaging is quite cheap. (But of course, what can you expect with this price?) The word 'Oh M'Eye Line' was already erased in my bottle.

Battered Liquid Eyeliner LOL.

Pros:

1. It's cheap! Compared to other Korean brand cosmetics, Php198 is already cheap.

2. It quickly dries. No need to wait for a minute or two.

3. It's waterproof. No need to worry about accidentally rubbing your eyes.

3. I like the dark metallic gray color. :)

Can I recommend?

Of course, but I guess, not for newbies like me. :) It would be better to choose a forgivable liquid eyeliner first to practice on before buying this one.

Will I repurchase?

Yes, but not now. I can repurchase it after like a year, or probably when I think I can already handle the long brush tip. Hehe. For now, I bought the Ever Bilena Dip Liner. I still haven't tried it but I'll be reviewing it some other time. :D
