Rimmel Colour Rush Trio Eyeshadow in shade 624 Lynx

8 hours soft and blendable Trio eyeshadow
Pure colour impact. Blends easily. Crease-proof.

Retail Price: around $3.00

I got this at ebay but I forgot the seller...lol. It was included on a Rimmel set and I won the bid for only Php220 pesos. I've used this palette on a look I created previously, you can check it HERE.

What I like about it...

* inexpensive

* easy to blend

* not chalky, so it's not messy at all

* pigmented, it has better pigmentation if compared to my LA colors eyeshadows

* the color in the middle has the perfect amount of shimmer (not too shimmery)

* I love that this trio has the white and brown color in Matte

* it doesn't crease, even without an eye primer

* it stays longer and starts to fade after 6 hours (if used without an eye primer)

What I don't like...

* not available locally

* the white shade isn't pigment but it's buildable

My rating: 4 / 5

I must say I'm satisfied with this palette because the shades are okay for everyday use. There's nothing really special about this eyeshadow, it's just that I really like the fact that middle color has the right amount of shimmer to it and it's very fine too. Unlike other shimmery shadows I've used which shows too much sparkle or glitter on in and end up looking like you're going to a party.  So yeah, I would recommend this to you.

This is it for now.

Cheerios!

Indulge your skin with a sweet touch of nature. Creamy milk joins hard-working honey to soften and smooth your skin. Rich in sunflower and coconut oils and glycerin, this lightweight lotion absorbs quickly to nourish and restore moisture, leaving skin looking and feeling healthier, naturally.

Apply generously to body as often as needed.
Do not apply on children under 3 years.

I got this 2 months ago while I was searching for a hand cream since my hands were really dry and cracked at the time. It's much better now though. I have been using this but not everyday, only when there's a need to that's why I carry this with me all the time.


What I like about it...
* inexpensive, I got this travel size bottle on ebay for only Php 76.00
* does a good job on moisturizing my hands / skin
* has thicker texture
* not sticky
* absorbs fast on my skin
* has a sweet honey fragrance (but it might be too strong for others)
* made from 98.3% Natural ingredients

What I don't like...
* the packaging is awful, the lid is just a big hole and the cap always fall every time I open it. (I'm clumsy)
* the fragrance isn't something you'll like at first try, it takes a lot of getting used to.

My rating: 3 / 5

In conclusion, this is just a "so so" product. It's not that good, just average. I'm still on the hunt for a better hand cream or hand lotion. I currently have my eyes on the Human Nature products. I recently emptied my Human Nature Body Butter Mango Scent - Cocoa Butter & Goat's Milk. I will try the Human Nature Hand and Body lotion and see how that goes.

By the way, I've read from this Makeup and Beauty Blog that the NEW version of the Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion is much better than the old one. (the one I have is the old version)

For Philippine residents, you can check out Burt's Bees products at any "Beauty Bar" branch.

This is it for now.

Cheerios!

Overall, I really do like this lippie, it's just that the price bothers me because I'm a cheapo...LOL

Nuf said, here's our dinner in pictures!

We paid around Php 500.00 for the whole dinner. So the price wasn't bad at all, it's just that their serving is smaller than compared to other Thai restaurants I've tried. The food was good, and the Peanut Sauce was amazing! If you've eaten at Krua Thai, their food is much better and the serving is way bigger too.

This is it for now.

Cheerios!
