 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

I am a huge fan of mascaras but unfornunately for a student who doesn't earn anything at all, I have to save up money to buy things that I really want so even if I wanted a nice but expensive mascara, I can't get it. I have to find a substitute for it.

This Essence Mascara is perfect for thin or thick lashes because if you have thin lashes, this mascara gives it volume and makes it look thicker and longer. If you already have thick lashes, this is also good because it emphasizes them.

It is perfect for every occasion since it is waterproof. Whenever you feel sporty but wanted a little makeup on, this is the product to use since it doesn't smudge. Feel like crying? Let those tears fall without ruining your mascara!

The brush is perfect for adding volume to your lashes!

I think this is the cheapest waterproof mascara that I can find. And it is really waterproof so it lasts all day long . However, be very careful in washing the product away because it is really hard to remove. If you scratch too hard, some lashes may fall off. I recommend that you use makeup remover to wash it away.

Essence is a UK brand and is available at SM Makati.
