Halloween Nail Art Design 3: Bloody Night

Oh Hello there! This is my third and last halloween nail art design, it is called Bloody Night. With the new nail art tool that I bought creating this design is now easier than my previous designs, the brush and the dotting tool help a lot unlike before when I am using the back of my brush to make a dot. By the way I know that the design isn't perfect, I am still practicing so that I can make a better nail art next time! :) 

Halloween Nail Art Design 2 : Oh My Ghost!

Finally I'm done with my second halloween nail art and this time it is a ghost design, it is very easy to do and needs just two color to make, if you have a dotting tool then it will be easier to create this design but if you don't (just like me haha) you may use an improvised dotting tool like hairpin with rounded tip or the end of your nail art brush just like what I used in creating this design. 

Here is the photo of my 2nd halloween nail art. If you want to recreate this design just watch the video below  and follow the steps. Enjoy! :)

Halloween Nail Art Design 1: Pumpkin

October is almost ending which means we are about to experience Halloween aka All Hallows' Eve, to spice up the upcoming event I decided to make different Halloween nail art designs. The first design that I made is pumpkin since it is the most common Halloween symbol. 

 These are the nail polish which I used to create my pumpkin design. The one on left is a regular polish in Kohl and the one on right is a regular polish in Salmon.

If you want to see how I created this design just watch the video below.

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Mascara Duo in Green Eyes

The first thing I did this sembreak was to go back to my hometown and register as a voter, I stayed there for four days but I was just at home chatting with my cousins. My cousins love makeup too but not as much as I do, one of them doesn't use makeup at all so she gave me her mascara that she received from her mom in US. Physicians Formula is not locally available here in the Philippines so I am really happy to have my first PF product, courtesy of my cousin!

The tube contains two colors; one end is black and the other end is pewter (grayish silver). The pewter color of this mascara is supposed to enhance green eyes but mine are not green hahaha maybe that's why I don't see much difference when I used it! 

The brush of black mascara is really big I don't think it is a good idea to use it on lower lashes hahaha. This mascara is not waterproof it can easily wash off with splash of water so if you're going to watch drama movies this is not the best option because you will get out of the movie house with raccoon eyes. Though it is not waterproof the good thing is it is smudge proof, I road test it on my way back and I arrived in manila without black smudge. :)

The pewter brush is smaller than the black one. I tried this color but it doesn't have different effect, it looks faded black on my lashes. 

Below are the photos of me wearing the black mascara. I don't have a picture of the pewter one!

As you can see above it doesn't give much volume but it adds length. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't have special eye enhancing effect like what its name claims, it is just a typical mascara for me except the other end is colored :)

Angry Birds Nail Art

Hi! I'm back with my second nail art and the design is one of the famous angry birds :) Honestly I am not fan of that video game but the bird characters are cute so I chose it as my nail art design. I watched a lot of tutorials from Youtube including this one and I think this is the easiest so I tried it on my own and I did not fail hahaha! If you want to create this design on your own nails just watch the video below. : )

                        

                                       

September Goodness with Virginia Olsen Brushes

        September has been good to me ever since the day I was born because it is my birth month but aside from that this year's month of September showered me with a lot of blessings from its very first day up until its last day! The 30th day was the one which surprised me a lot because I wasn't expecting anything that day in fact I was a bit sad because my favorite month was already ending. I was shocked when @Virginia_Olsen tweeted me saying that I won eye brushes from them weeeheee I never won any giveaway this is the first time so it means a lot :)

 So now let me present you the brushes, the time I opened the package and saw these brushes I already knew that they are soft without touching it, how? It's obvious haha! The bristles are fine and don't look scratchy so I guessed that they are soft and they didn't disappoint me, they are really soft! They are hypo-allergenic so they are safe to use but aside from being soft and safe these brushes are great in picking up pigments despite they are synthetic because I read a lot of reviews that natural animal hair brushes pick up more pigments than synthetic brushes do.

  Another reason to love these brushes are their handle, they look mighty with this handle! These natural bamboo handles are 100% ECO friendly because they have a low impact on our planet as they are highly sustainable resources.

                                                

Eyeshadow Brush - this brush is small, stiff and flat, it is perfect for applying eye shadow all over the lid because its flatness will give smooth finish and more intense color than fluffier brush.

                                       

Blending Brush - this is my favorite among the four because it is versatile! because of its fluffiness it blends multiple color perfectly and softens dramatic edges and fine lines thus it gives more natural look, it can also be used to create depth to crease and outer corner of the eye.

                                         

Concealer Brush - This is the concealer brush that I'm looking for!  It has a good size and shape, it is  soft and firm, and it doesn't give streaky lines and blends the concealer well. 

                                         

Angled Eyeliner Brush/Brow Brush - I haven't tried using it as an eyeliner brush but I think it would be good  since it is really thin but I have tried using it as brow brush it's good but it took time filling my brows since it is thin. 

False Lashes: Maybelline Falsies Mascara Review

       
                   I was in Makati to have my haircut when I noticed the ongoing sale in the landmark, I have no plans of buying anything but when I saw that this mascara is 20% off I immediately grabbed it and head to the counter so for short this one is an impulse buy. aww. oh my poor wallet. :(

This is not my first false lash effect mascara, I had my Max Factor False Lash Effect before and if I am going to choose between them I'll go for Max Factor but Falsies has a lot to offer though. It has the same consistency with Max factor,it lasts the whole day without smudging, it doesn't clamp on me and despite it is waterproof I still find it very easy to remove unlike Max Factor that consumed me 2 cotton pads each eye just to remove it sometimes it exceeds 2 haha, but with Falsies 1 cotton pad each eye is enough. 

 

The patented spoon brush fans out the lashes so it helps achieving the false lash effect but  it's hard to reach the eye corners using this brush and like the other wands it scoops excess liquid on its tip. 

My expectations with this mascara was far more than what it can give, yes it makes my lashes long and bold but I was expecting more! I want a longer and bolder look like the effect that Max Factor used to give me, that is what I was expecting with this product. Anyways, though it lacks the false effect that it claims this mascara is still not a fail buy because it is way better than other regular mascara in the market. I can still recommend this if you are looking for a mascara that can hold a curl all day long and doesn't smudge.
