Ever since I learned how to use false eyelashes I've been hooked into buying all sorts of falsies.  I don't use them regularly but I set them aside for my clients.  It's fun to try out different types of false eyelashes, since this is the only way I get to test and know which lashes work best for clients.

I love these two false eyelashes from The Face Shop especially the one the left.  I just like how my lashes look so full with just a flick on the sides with the XLH variant.  Even though these are synthetic, I like how thin the band is.  In addition to that, I like the Face Shop lash adhesive that comes with each pair.  I originally wanted to purchase the full size lash glue/adhesive from the Face Shop, but it's always out of stock.  Thus, I keep repurchasing their eyelashes since it comes with a glue which is the same quality as the full sized one. This retails for only Php 115.00 pesos.


I was literally all smiles when I saw this pair of lashes. It's the first pair I bought that came with a set of lower lashes.  I've never used false lower eyelashes before since they are really hard to find. So, I'm really excited to try this.  I bought this at Fooda Super Market here in Cebu, I'm not sure where else to find this. It retails for only Php 40.00 pesos.

I'm not sure if you ladies remembered, but a few years ago around 2008 the Brush Guard was released. It was such a craze on youtube that almost all beauty gurus had them.  A few months ago while I as looking for disposable mascara wands, I accidentally found this cosmetic brush guard from a Hong Kong based seller on ebay.ph as I was perusing through different beauty tools.


While the original Brush Guard costs about $5.00 per pack which contains only 5 to 8 pieces of brush covers, this cost only $1.00 at ebay and it has free shipping. There's a catch though, since it is from Hong Kong, it takes a long time for it to arrive. I got mine after 60 days of waiting.


What I like about this is that, it's a continues roll of 1 meter plastic mesh which you can cut to whatever size you want.  Thus, you can make about 10 to12 brush guard strips for only a dollar (about 43 pesos).  This has a medium size width, so it can fit most of my makeup brushes.




As you can see in the photos above I cut the mesh to different sizes depending on the size of brush. I hope this would give our local online entrepreneurs an idea to also sell this on their shop, so that we won't have to wait 2 months for this to arrive. ^_^

I've never used the original brush guards, but I'm quite happy with this. Share your experiences if you've used them. Until next time.

Cheerios!

Been loving so many bath products for the past several months and just found my favorites. Some of them are stuff that I just picked out on a whim and some were given as gifts.

After being released last year 2011, I've read and seen raves about these eyeshadow singles from Wet n Wild. So, I wanted to try these out for the longest time and now I finally got my hands on some of them.

So I got lucky again...LOL! I won this beautiful Vegan brushes from Sigma when they had a contest a few months back for Sigma Affiliates.  I have been using these brushes ever since I got my hands on it.

During Mother's Day, I received a lot of Presents from my family and friends.  So, I just thought it would be nice to share this.

We finally had our long overdue summer vacation! It was my mother-in-law's family reunion at Medellin Cebu, that's why we had the chance visit her hometown.  Medellin is located at the northern part of Cebu. It's a 3-hour ride by bus from Cebu City.  The place is known for their sugarcane plantations.
