Cure Natural Aqua Gel

Had I written a post about the products that I want to try a few months before I had made my to-try post, Cure Natural Aqua Gel will definitely made the cut. I've been eyeing this product for so long! Am I happy with my purchase? Keep reading to find out.

elf Brush Shampoo & elf Daily Brush Cleaner

This is a long overdue post but since I still got the draft of my review and the photos to make a *cough* decent *cough* blog post, then why the hell not?

I'm a fan of elf cosmetics because of the really affordable price. It's my go-to brand in my yesteryear when I was still experimenting on makeup. Though I gotta admit, their products are either a hit or a miss. But with the price, you can hardly think that you've been ripped off.

Bifesta Cleansing Lotion

I guess the saying that 'maturity comes with age' is true or at least in this particular situation. I started wearing makeup during my teens, and back then, good ol' soap and water were good enough to remove everything that I've put on my face. Yuck, I know! But as I learn more about makeup, I realized that soap and water are not good enough. And I learned that the hard way when I discovered the beauty of waterproof mascara. Now, I have a couple of makeup removers. My latest conquest in this division is Bifesta Cleansing Lotion in the Brightup variant.

First of all, I have combination skin which is more on the oily side and the variant that I have with me is actually for dull and flaky skin. This is an accidental buy because I don't know... I saw it at the counter and poof I want it. I know, I know, I should stop buying things on impulse.

Maybelline Super BB Cream

I was one of the those who went crazy with BB Creams when the Korean craze took Manila by storm. I was crazy about BB creams! Back in the day, only BB creams from Korea were available and they cost an arm and leg. Anyway, I regained my sanity and somehow lost interest in them. Not totally though for I still own a couple - as in 3, including this one.

Like the Tony Moly 7Days Eyebrow Tattoo, I was incredibly curious about this product. But I do know that I'm signing up for when I bought this BB Cream. I am aware that BB creams cannot deliver an amazing coverage just like foundations so I don't have that much hope about this having SUPER coverage. And what I love most is that this costs way cheaper than the ones I own.

Tony Moly 7Days Tattoo Eye Brow

I'm always game in trying out eyebrow products because I haven't found my holy grail product for my brows. A few days before 2015 ended, I found out about Tony Moly's 7Days Tattoo Eye Brow on a local online beauty store and I'm blown away with the reviews. To cut the story short, I bought it without hesitation.

One of my biggest mistake in making this purchase is that I didn't read the description. The name is obviously a hyperbole and should not be taken seriously. I jumped to conclusion that this product is waterproof. It isn't. It lasts long enough though because of it's formulation that resists sweat, oil, water and humidity.

Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner

Pardon the beauty binge... I was a curious cat last month, and I ended up buying a lot of beauty products. And they did dig a deep hole in my pocket. Included in the items that I've purchased is Benefit's The Real Steal Duo. Consider this post the first part of my two-part review.

I confess, this is an impulse buy. I saw The Real Steal Duo few months back in Sephora's website and I've been going gaga about it. For $24, you get to enjoy a full-sized They're Real Mascara plus a travel-sized They're Real Push-Up Liner. There's a cult following for Benefit's The Real Steal Mascara... of course I'm curious! And you do not know how bummed I was when I found out that this was sold out. So when I visited Benefit's store and found out that this is available, I decided to buy it. It's more expensive here though... it costs PHP 1300 (roughly $29). It's such a bummer that I had to pay for an extra $5 because makeup here in Manila is just more expensive. But since I'm getting two for the price of one, why not?

The Battle of the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers

I've never understood the magic of eyelash curlers until I got my hands on my Shu Uemura New Generation Eyelash S Curler. Actually, I thought I bought the traditional Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler, so I was really surprised when it's the former that arrived at my doorstep. Oh, I definitely thought of returning it and asking for the other one but when I played with it... I. JUST. CAN'T. But I really wanted the traditional one so I placed another order. Oops!

Yes, they're quite heavy on the pocket. The S Curler retails for $24, while the traditional Eyelash Curler costs $20. Even for just the price of one Shu curler, I think I can buy like 3 to 5 curlers from the drugstore. But like I said, it's magic (or hypnotism, you definitely got me hook, line and sinker, Shu!)

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

The thing about using the prescribed acne kit is that it doesn't come with a day moisturizer; I need to ALWAYS be smothered in sunblock because of it's micropeeling properties; and, it can be very drying especially during the cold weather. Having a combination skin which is also quite sensitive is the worst, I think. So I took it upon myself to remedy the problem. I've researched about good drugstore moisturizers and my top two are: St. Ives Elastin Collagen Moisturizer and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. I was very much torn between the two. But in the end, I've decided to go with Neutrogena.

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser

I've never bothered with Pore Erasers until recently. I've always wanted to try Benefit's POREfessional, but since it was not at the top of my to-try/to-buy list I always forget to check it out. My curiosity for pore erasers reached it's peak when I saw the discount being offered on The Body Shop's Instablur. If I'm not mistaken, the discount was around 10 or 20 off? Not sure. Anyway, I've read a lot of reviews about those two because I've been rather keen on trying one out... and on some reviews, Maybelline's Baby Skin Pore Eraser was mentioned. Since I'm not sure if I really do need or want a pore eraser, I've decided to settle with the cheapest one available in the market. I'm that stingy!

The Body Shop Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel

I am an avid fan of beauty products. I can never go out of the mall without purchasing anything related to beauty. Skin care is my absolute favorite. I love trying out different products until I had that MAJOR breakout last year that lasted for months. I tried being a scientist and experimented on different anti-acne products. I am a scaredy cat that's why, plus I hate visiting the derma. Sadly, nothing helped so I had no choice. Now my skin is okay, and here I am experimenting once more! I'm not sure when I be ready to try different skincare products because that acne breakout really scared the hell of me, but a little cute eyecream wouldn't hurt.

I've known about The Body Shop Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel for quite some time, but never really bothered to try it. After seeing this product on an online beauty store that I frequent, I got really curious and purchased it. To cut the story short, I bought this even though I have no idea what this product is all about.
