PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: THE FACE SHOP FELT TIP LIQUID LINER PEN (BLACK)

Here's an initial review on THE FACE SHOP FELT TIP LIQUID LINER PEN (BLACK)

PRICE: 395PHP (?)

PLACE BOUGHT: THE FACE SHOP BOUTIQUE, POWERPLANT MALL, ROCKWELL, MAKATI CITY

OTHER LOCATIONS: ALL THE FACE SHOP BOUTIQUES NATIONWIDE

THE VERDICT:

Okay so I've been lemming for a liquid eyeliner because it gives off a more vibrant finish as opposed to other liner forms.

I got this from The Face Shop. I've been wanting to get MAC's penultimate liner and got this instead because it's cheaper and I could pretty much gauge that this does the same thing as well. As you all know, I would never splurge on eyeliners. My latest and last splurge was MUFE's AquaEyes. After that, nothing followed.

So this pen makes liquid eyelining a breeze. It's easy and it gives off a controlled amount of the ink. And best part, it's so compact, it could even fit in your tightest jeans!

See what I mean by vibrant finish? Liquid eyeliners give a nice vibrant and glossy finish. But the quality didn't impress me.

First, it smudges like crazy. I have oily lids to I'm practically off to raccoon eyes land whenever I'm wearing with this one. I've tried using this in one of my plays and when I cried in a scene, it smudged like crazy and it dripped inside my eyes. YEAOUCH! It's so painful, as in stinging painful. After that incident, I sold it off.

It could've been love, ya know? The packaging, convenience and color pay- off, but the staying power wasn't really considered in making this one so you get the drift if I'm buying this or not.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: THE FACE SHOP CHARCOAL FINE CLEANSING FOAM

Here’s an initial verdict on THE FACE SHOP CHARCOAL FINE CLEANSING FOAM

 PRICE: 500- 550PHP

PLACE BOUGHT: THE FACE SHOP, POWERPLANT MALL, ROCKWELL, MAKATI CITY

OTHER LOCATIONS: MALLS NATIONWIDE

THE VERDICT:

 After a month of using this, here’s what I can finally say about this product.

 I’ve grabbed this in lieu of my Kiehl’s facial wash, which is my HG. But since Kiehl’s is too expensive, I decided to embark on a search for a cleanser for oily skinned people like me.

 So this fine cleansing foam targets oily skin. The consistency of the cleansing foam is like whipped silk. It’s very lush, soft and velvet- y. And it also lathers up to a generous amount, which I like. It gives me this sense of feeling clean. Also, the lather is so fine and smooth, you’ll enjoy washing your face. It has this clean and light floral scent that is definitely not overpowering. It’s a pretty big tube and a little goes a long so you’ll pretty much use this for quite a long time.

 After washing my face, it instantly feels clean. A bit squeaky, but not dry. For me, the squeaky clean feeling is the sign that a good amount of facial oil was removed. But I am not sure how this works in keeping oil at bay during the day because I use a primer underneath make- up.

 It’s still pretty expensive for me so I’m still on another search for a good facial wash. So far, I haven’t experienced any breakouts from this cleanser. I’m still testing Etude. If Etude does not do me good, I’ll prolly stick with this facial foam.
