Good Product to Have
Score: 50%

Raves:
-colors are pigmented
-easy to apply
-looks great with other eye shadows (matte palette,etc)
-gorgeous shimmery colors
-colors go well with each shades included
-hard

Rants:
- (same with the rants from my double stack matte palette review)
- easy to blend but i don't like how it looks after sometime (opacity/pigmentation fades)

Overall:
A good palette to play around with but for me its a NO. I first thought i love this palette as much as the matte but as soon as I saw that the colors/pigmentation fades when I blend the shadows, i was wrong. It works well with other brands so its worth keeping. So should you buy it? I suggest you first get the matte palette. This is similar to the 120 palette in terms of the effect after blending. I like the shimmer palette better than the 120 palette in terms of the texture/colors but I find the 120 palette a more worth it product as it includes a lot of colors.

random pics and its not me

Was browsing around my files and came across some old shots i took of the kikay pinay months ago as my model for a makeup class. Really thankful to her that day for it was a really rush decision on her part.

the topic for that day is more of a colorful loud fashion look but i cant let shen go out like that. i opt for something just a little wearable (and they say I'm a good follower student..geesh)

all products from make up for ever

just a lip color change and it looks simple
well, shen is really pretty so it maybe the reason for the good output..lol:)

Oh and its not only Shen who became my model. Let me browse again my files and look for other pics of my lovely friends who are ever supportive of me. Love you girls.

Product Review: 42 double stack matte palette from ebay/coastalscents

42 double stack matte palette from ebay / coastalscents

I know a lot of you are curious about this palette the same way I was before purchasing one. hihi. Got this from a very nice local ebay seller who agreed to meet me up near my office. I usually buy my stuffs from ebay.com but when I get really excited about a certain product, I don't want to wait for a long time. teehee..:)

A Must have
Score: 80%

Raves:
-a true matte eyeshadow palette (yes its all matte)
-really really pigmented (better with an eyeshadow primer)
-not chalky
-hard compared to other palettes that breaks easily
-price is reasonable (got this for 1000php ($20-22) which is ok because I got the product the next day)
-eyeshadows on the pan gives the same color when applied
-Blendable (unlike some palettes that blending will cause the applied eyeshadow to lose much of its intensity/pigmentation ), doesnt turn muddy
-Blushes are nice and shows up well but a little powdery (coming from a girl who's not into light blushes e.g benefit dandelion,mac pink swoon, etc). its pigmented so don't worry


Rants:
-needs more eyeshadow colors
-Blushes are all shimmers
-eyeshadow fall out happens
-brushes included could be better
-needs eyeshadow base(its not an issue for me cuz i always use a base no matter what)
-could be better when it comes to blending
Overall:
I can honestly say I love this palette more than the 120 palette, 88 palette, 28palette, elianto, nyx,etc. Its just a wee bit below mac cuz of the fall outs, texture (i love the veluxe formula) and mac a little better when it comes to blending but other than that it gives great color payoff if not better (for some mac e/s). I'm really picky when it comes eyeshadows that I tend to use mac all the time for events,gigs,etc. With this palette, I know I can achieve a lot of looks for pro works.

Upcoming: 42 Double Stack Shimmer Palette

Again with a new hair color

And its back. The colored hair. Teehee. I feel like my old true self again. The blue black hair may have worked for me when it was still long but now, its just not flattering. Well, maybe I'm just bored that I need a new color. David's Salon Ruby Road branch (near Emerald Ave) is where I get most of my hair treatments done. They did a great job considering that its hard to color a hair from black to something that is really light. I like it and it gives the same color as when I bleach my brows. I will stick with this color, lets see for how long.;)

Upcoming: Bleaching Brows

My Inti-Mate Bra Converter

Thanks to my good friend Sophie, I was able to get this amazing product. I don't like wearing strapless bra so whenever I'm wearing a racer back top I use the normal. Yes, its really not a good idea to show someone your undergarments but its either a strapless bra that I keep pulling up when it falls or bra straps showing, i choose the latter. hehe. But thanks to this product, yey..no more straps showing. And the nice thing about it is that you can adjust the bra clip depending on the style of your top. A little must have for all of us!

They say:

Bra straps can be bothersome at times. They fall on your shoulders, or they just look too awkward when wearing certain outfits. Well, put your bra straps in place, all secure and convenient! Presenting, the Inti-Mate Bra Converter!

Inti-Mate is the perfect bra accessory that can prevent loose or falling straps, and instantly convert your conventional bra into a racerback bra – no more awkward visible straps while wearing sexy tops, and even sportswear!

Inti-Mate also gives you added support, as it gives you the effect of a push-up bra – instant support, cleavage, and confidence!

Say goodbye to sports bra’s that flatten our curves! Inti-Mate also gives you a sports bra look, with added support, and cleavage – no trade-offs over here! Inti-Mate also improves posture as it acts like a sports bra that helps you straighten up and prevent slouching.

Also, get to recycle your old bra’s with support in a clip!

Inti-Mate comes in the form of a very feminine floral shape, that is to be clipped on both your bra straps. It comes a pack of three colors – black, nude, and transparent – adding a minimalist touch to your intimate wear.

Inti-Mate is effective and economical – you get to make your bra work for you however you want it, and you get the effect of a converted bra ( racerback, or cross-style bra ) for a fraction of the price of a racerback, or sports bra!

Price : P 250.00 per pack

Must have product.

Why?
Tested it the whole day and its really comfortable. I really didnt feel the bra clip/converter on my back. No straps showing! Plus its just 250php for 3 pcs. Much better than buying a bra to serve the same purpose.
