Review and FOTD: Stila Pretty in Paris Palette

This is the second travel palette from Stila. If you missed my review on the first travel palette, just click here. Most of the things that I will tell you about this second palette is almost the same as the first palette. All of the eyeshadows and convertible lip and cheek color are all new and limited edition according to Stila.

Haul #9: Limited Edition

 

I finally got my hands on these babies. When this was released here, it was sold out quickly even before they hit the MAC stores. So I'm one of the unlucky ones that didn't get it. When I saw these the other day at The Glamorous Sisters' store, I immediately bought it before these escape again (lol).

Review and FOTD: Stila Road To Radiance USA Palette

If you read my post about my OMG Haul, I mentioned that I read Temptalia's review on the Stila's Road to Radiance palette and how she hated the eyeshadows and loves the convertible lip and cheek color. Of course, she was right. I knew it because she's an expert in reviewing makeup but I still went ahead and bought the palette. I am not saying I hate the palette, in fact, I'm in love with it and I can't wait till the other palettes arrive here.

Haul #7: OMG Haul

Yup. You read it right. This is my "Oh my God" haul. :P I went to the mall with my sister today not intending to buy or even expect to find this two because I'm saving up my money for MAC's Fabulous Felines. Our country is probably  the most behind on current US cosmetics releases. When everybody else already raved about it and already moved on, we are just here waiting for it to come. Sadly sometimes, we don't have access to great brands like Urban Decay, Korres, Benefit, etc. We, or at least I end up hunting online sellers. Well, it's not always the downside. The advantage that we get from this is that after tons of review, then we get the chance to decide if we're really going for the product or not. Positivity there. ;D So enough of the babbling here's my "OMG Haul". 

I first went to Watson's (land of the drugstore makeup here) to checkout the items that Liz of Project Vanity featured on her blog about the "Top 7 best finds in Watsons".  Then I went to CoverGirl and then bam! I saw a purple tube mascara and I said, "Oh my God" it's finally here. One of the most talked about drugstore mascara in You Tube. It's the CoverGirl Lashblast Fusion, volume+length mascara. The rep told me they just released it last week. Coincidentally this morning, I was taking a picture of my CoverGirl Lashblast Volume mascara because I'm planning to put it up here in my blog for review since I fully used it and it's ready to be thrown out. 

Somehow my camera decided to make it look like blue. It's purple in person, I promise. =)

FOTD: Flipside

I am a neutral girl and I can't wear bold colors confidently. Today I tried this look by taking UD 24/7 eyeliner in flipside (teal blue) and paired it with Stila's eyeshadow in Kitten (champagney color) all-over the lid to brighten my eyes and balance the look.
