SHIKIMIKIE

I bought 5 because I want to give it a fair chance of being liked by me. I kind of chose colors that are somehow close to each other because I also want to be able to find just the right shade of what I would be most likely wear a lot! I bought liquid lipsticks from two different shops because you know, what if I don’t like the formula of one and stuff? Right? So yeah. These are all under 100 pesos which is okay if you’re just a first time buyer. If you have many lipsticks already, I don’t really suggest buying these and I would say just buy something more trustworthy. I have worn these in South Korea and there’s actually no problem as long as you don’t have to eat! Or DRINK. Like, it would get everywhere!! It’s good for pictures though and just for the in between meals lip-wear. It applies fairly easy for moisturized lips! If you have chapped lips, don’t you dare! What I like to do with this is apply maybe three dots on my lips and work it as if it’s a tint. That way, it wouldn’t blee...

The two CC cream I got from Pretty Skin was so awesome! I liked it! I haven't tried the expensive masks yet but I will get to it soon! The freebies I got was also nice! I think I might actually be Korean. Showin' my skin some lovin'. Gone were the days when Baby Powder is all it takes to brighten up thy skin. Hello high school years! Now, everything you literally have a cream for. Goodness gracious!  Second haul from Myeongdong as well. I tell you! It's where things are at, girl!  Loved everything! Like, the hand cream I still wasn't able to get my hands to, oh. But the rest, to die for! That's all! Ciao!

Etude House Harajuku This is the Etude House next to my Tokyo work office.  This is what I got! This is actually long overdue I’m so sorry. I’m back though! Orange is the new ? The balm is actually not that good. I mean, nothing really special about it. I guess it’s just as good as any other balm.  I also got their Double Lasting foundation. It’s not bad. They have a lot of options both for pink and yellow tones. So yeah. That’s all! 

Heroine This ad I’ve originally seen in a Cosmopolitan article online and I was like, yas! Why the hell not? Unfortunately this item is not available in Japan yet so I had to ask my sisters in the Philippines to buy this for me.  I was surprised to see the similarities of the products sold. Well, except this one of course. I got the Believer and Heroine. I was actually supposed to get the darkest but my sister was like, nope! I didn’t. I feel like she knows what’s up and I am just a millenial tita so... My Heroine look is the one above. The nude isn't mine by the way but that's what we do in my family. We recycle pictures. It's my sister's. I don't find myself wearing that TBH. I don't think I need any makeup to look more dead than I do now.  Believer So my fangirl sister have a theory that I don't really approve of. She said it's Believer because it's Justin Bieber's color. Stupid. Formula wise, it’s very sticky. Also a lie that it doesn’t trans...

The reason being is that I had to dispose of all my makeup because they could cause infection for my new eyes. No face powder too because it might go in my healing eyes. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, as far as it may be to the eyes, lipsticks count. Maybe. This tip is actually something I’ve read of online so don’t copy. Also, I just needed an excuse to buy makeup! BB Cream + Concealer duo. I swear I’m almost done with the concealer. I don’t know if it’s the design that’s wasting the product or maybe there’s just not enough product in this one.  Also maybe because I have too much to conceal. Haha! The concealer is creamy and very easy to work with. The BB Cream, I’m okay with but nothing special about it. Also something I am not a fan of. I mean, it’s okay but it’s a little runny for me. For something that promises too much, it doesn’t do much. Sorry. It's very comparable to a tinted moisturizer.  I swear this is not a list of things I regret buying. More like, things that I ...

oily mess   Cushion thingy has been around for quite a while but it's my first time getting one and here's what I think about it.    Pink Beige   They do have three shades available and I got the one in the middle. I didn't get the lightest shade this time because it's not as promising as this one. It only said something about fairness and stuff whilst this one said it's radiating and brightening.      This says it only has 15g worth of product. I don't really know how much that is but you know, the Maybelline BB Cream that I use everyday has 30ml in it and I've been using it for what? 6 months already? So yeah! I'm not really heavy on make up so maybe this will last me long as well. Anyways. To be honest, I'm not a fan. It's too watery for my liking. In a sense that it takes too much time to apply because you really have to layer it and stuff to get the coverage it promises. This took me around 5 minutes to apply. Well you know, compared to when...

So there's been quite a lot of one price shop in Japan lately. 100 shop (OG), 390 shop, and the most recent (I think) is the 300 shop.    the look   I have questioned my bestfriend's preference before but as I get older, I kind of understand why she likes orange makeup. Especially when you're fair-skinned, which my bestfriend is. It does look good when you're going for a summer look.    haul   I didn't get blush, eyeshadow, nail polish, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, and lipgloss. Not a fan. Both their formula and the general usage of the certain makeup product.    I don't know when this will be of any use. It's so sheer!! Even for a no make-up look. But as per always, I'll find a way to make this work. I think I got the middle shade. Aba may gana sila mag shade shade ha! Pare parehas lang naman.      Let's go to the more useful products. Lip crayon is I think my favorite. It's a bit drying but you know, it'll work. Also, it doubles as a...

I got these all at a shopping app called WISH. So basically, it was my Nepali friend who introduced me to this app and I was buying things from there since then. More reason not to go out of the room, right? Thankful for that time I asked her where she got her bag. It's a life saver. She was like, oh there's this app called Wish and you know, I barely go anywhere (physically) to get stuff because I get everything from there. Download it too! #tamadgoals #nowIknowwhywe'refriends Foundation (4061 JPY -> 521 JPY) I always match the second or on rare occasions, the third lightest shade in any beauty product but Michelle Phan said to get a shade lighter because of oxidation so yeah. This looks soo ashy in the bottle but let's hope for the best. Concealer (833 JPY -> 105 JPY) Also a shade lighter. Setting Powder (938 JPY -> 313 JPY) I know I told you I'm not a fan of setting powders in general but I'm just gonna give it a try. I feel like this is more of a sh...

Not like I'm hoping for a miracle here or something. I know my hair is hopeless as of this moment but I thought if there is a way to at least improve it, sign me up ASAP.  I am leaning towards using natural products because if my hair would be destroyed anyways, I find comfort in saying "it's natural" as a response. Don't you? I'm actually half way done with this product and to be honest, I don't really know what it's doing to my hair per se but I swear by its smell. It smells delicious. And it's natural. Only issue I have with this (or is it just the super near me?) is that they seem to confuse people with their mix and match thing. Like, with their scents and stuff. Not really complaining. At least they have apple as a common thing. PS: I took botany when I was in first year. Not a fan. Ciao! 

This is the brand that I got. Actually the cheapest brand available at the drug store. It's just that I kind of like the color and boy did I hope for this to work. It kind of did! But with a hair like mine, I really could use some help. It's just not cooperative.  Before I don't know which I want anymore. I kind of want to opt-out of BRIGHT hair considering I just colored my hair red and then darker but also I don't want my hair to be dark as in dark dark.  After So happy with the result although it's been a while and I am a very late blogger so it almost looks like the picture above again. I guess we should really wash out the red first because it keeps showing up. I guess it's true what they say. There are few things in life that we should let the professionals do and having your hair colored is hella one of them. Will make an appointment as soon as I can. Ciao!
