ELF Eyebrow Treat and Tame





ELF's Eyebrow Treat and Tame in Medium. Php 250.

I want brows like Cara and after some research, I read that she uses Anastasia Brow Gel for her bushy brows. Unfortunately, it is not available here so I had to look for other brow gels. And I happened to land on this one, ELF's Eyebrow Treat and Tame.

ELF has two kinds of brow gels. The other one looks like an eye shadow palette that has a gel and an eye shadow. Then this, the Treat and Tame.

For beginners (like me), Treat and Tame is actually a nice brow gel since it is easier to apply. It has two sides, the tame and the treat. The treat which is the clear gel is applied first , followed by the tame which is the brown one. The treat side has a brush that looks like an eye shadow applicator and the tame side has a brush that is like a mascara wand. I really like this product since it does not smudge when you are sweating. It is not a waterproof brow gel but it looks like it is one. I am a sweaty person and I appreciate this kind of brow gel at a low price.

The not so good side of this brow gel is you easily ran out of it. I bought this just more than a month ago and I am not using it on a daily basis but I easily ran out of it. It is at a very low price but I think many are buying this brow gel so there is just a little supply of this on some stores. And, this is not good for people who have few eyebrow hairs. This is only good for people who have many thin hair brows.

Anyway, I am loving this product so much but I will try to buy other brow gels. Some are much more expensive than this one so for a thrifty person, I really prefer this one.

Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner in Pearl Black

 Tony Mony Backstage Gel Eyeliner is by far the best gel eyeliner I got. It is not as expensive as the other products like Maybelline or Bobbi Brown. This one costs I think 348 pesos. I didn't buy the one with brush since I have an Artist Brush's eyeliner brush so I didn't see the need for it.

Before, I was using Revlon's color stay eyeliner, it stays for a long time but it easily smudges when you get a little sweaty so it didn't work for me. I have known this product from a Korean friend. She uses this eyeliner but in brown. I asked her what gel eyeliner she was using and she said it was a Tony Moly's. She encouraged me to buy one because according to her 'it is very nice and I love it so much'. It was just now that I was able to buy it. So yeah that was the story so I'm going to start the review.

The packaging is very sleek. It's very small too so if you don't have much room for makeup in your bag this will definitely do. When I said very small, it doesn't mean that it easily run out. It is very practical to use since a little product on the brush is enough to cover an eye, well it depends on how thick you want it. Anyway, I like it because it's very pigmented so you don't have to a lot on your eye that it will feel heavy and all.

The product is creamy so it doesn't easily dry. The downside is that you have to wait for it to dry before you can open eyes wide but the good side is it is easy to remove if it is not dry yet when you make a mistake applying it. Tony Moly's gel eyeliner can go a long way so your money is not wasted when you buy it. Last thing that I love about this is that I sweat a lot due to humidity and also, I have an oily type of skin so I basically need smudge proof or waterproof products to apply on my face so Tony Moly definitely works for me. It does not smudge when you get a trickle of sweat on it. It also lasts for about 4-5 hours or even the whole day! This is really worth what you paid for!

Pros:
Cheap
Smudge free
Waterproof
Worth the money
Long last

Cons:
Have to wait for it to dry
Hard to find stores that have Tony Moly

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery has so many varieties of cupcakes that it will take you time to pick which one to buy. They also sell cookies, cake in a cup, muffin and breakfast.

But nothing beats their original product- the cupcakes. I am so in love with their cupcakes! They are a little sweet but it's okay for me who has a thing for cupcakes. The bread itself is so delicious not to mention they are really soft and feel like they melt in your mouth. The icing is really good, honestly I'm not so sure if they are icing of cream but they do taste divine.
