Product Review: ELF Beauty Book Smokey Eye Palette

Here comes another product review to read! You have seen how I used ELF Smokey Eye Palette in my recent tutorial. Now it's time to give my full review of this palette.

I got this palette as gift from ELF Cosmetics Philippines. I've never actually owned any ELF palette before that's why I was very excited to try out this product.

Makeup Haul: Surprise from an E.L.F.

I think Christmas came in very early this year cause I just got a gorgeous gift from a real ELF. Ahhhh no. Not the mythical creature but the makeup brand. :)

It is actually my 1st time to receive a surprise package from a beauty company that's why I'm so excited to share it with my readers. I'm sure a lot of popular bloggers would say that they're used to receiving packages but I bet they would agree with me that firsts are always memorable. In my case, I want to immortalize it thus this blog post.

Even posted it on Instagram...Yeah I was that excited :))

What to bring when?! (My Travel Essentials)

Hellooooooo! And I'm blogging again. I am so sorry for not posting the whole time I was in Europe. I didn't know that it will be difficult to do entries. It was that hectic and busy. Anyway, saying sorry won't do anything. I might as well make it up to you. :)

I've been to Europe for 52 days with the Ateneo College Glee Club. Like I said in my previous entries, we were there to compete and hold concerts in different cities. Fortunately, it was a successful journey. :)

Since 52 days is quite a long travel, I was so tempted to bring my whole traincase. But of course, weight limit is no joke. Yes, I had a hard time choosing which ones to bring. The challenge was to make everything fit in this personalized medium-sizes travel case (c/o Tita B).

Another thing to consider that time, the season! I was looking forward to a lovely Spring and it means that I needed to bring more colors. After a lot of self-debate, here are the things I brought with me to Europe. I'm sure a number of tips can be useful to other travelers as well.

Product Review: E.L.F. Lipsticks (Must-haves!)

Look who's back? I owe you a lot of backlogs from my recent trip. But let me give you my long overdue review of cheap but good quality lipsticks from another drugstore brand. A lot of people got curious with L.A. lipsticks that I reviewed. Who wouldn't? Violet lipsticks are very rare in the market.

Lemme share with you another drugstore lipstick that I am in love with. Yes it's not every girl's ideal lipstick but it surely delivers. A lot of you know of E.L.F. (Eyes Lips Face), a US drugstore brand available locally. I've already explored a lot of items from that store but it was only this year that I had the chance to try it's lipsticks. Initially, I purchased just one shade but after a few weeks of usage, I decided to try the other colors available. Well, obviously I liked it.

There's a Fine Fine Line... (ELF Pen Eyeliner Review)

Hello All! Here's another product review but this time, I'm reviewing liquid eye liners! I think each one of us is always in search of the best liquid eyeliner out there. Of course we have our own criteria but the most common things we look for are the following: opacity, ease of use and staying power. I am a fan of winged liners but it would be quite difficult to achieve if you're eyeliner is not helping. I've already tried so many brands but I still haven't found the ONE.

I bought this product hoping to find a quality yet cheap one that would be great for everyday use. Since I like pen liners (because it's easier to manipulate), I gave it a shot. So here it is, the ELF Pencil and Pen Eyeliner Case. I was just really planning to buy the pen eyeliners (in black and brown) but since this case costs the same as buying 2 eyeliners, I decided to get this set instead. And yeah, I got a free pencil eyeliner! Teehee!

As mentioned, the set consists of 2 waterproof pen eyeliners and one shimmer pencil liner. It retails at Php 249.75 and comes with a clear plastic (with zipper) packaging convenient for traveling.
