Here’s an initial review on MAYBELLINE HELLO KITTY+CAT EYES VOLUMIZING MASCARA
PRICE: 549PHP
PLACE BOUGHT: SM DEPARTMENT STORE, SM MALL OF ASIA
OTHER LOCATIONS: MAYBELLINE COUNTERS IN ALL MALLS NATIONWIDE
THE VERDICT:
Maybelline Cat Eyes has found a profitable collaboration with the most fabulous feline of all time, Hello Kitty.
I’ve been obsessed with Hello Kitty ever since I was young. So when I spotted this on the Maybelline counters, I immediately bought one!
Maybelline’s Cat Eyes mascara gets Kitty-fied. The tube’s colour was changed to metallic pink, and Hello Kitty graphics are drawn all over the tube making it Sanrio- worthy!
Nothing has actually changed with regard to the formula .The wand still comes in the comb- type, which is perfect for fan styling so you can achieve wonderful kitty eyes. The mascara formula is still waterproof, and the mascara colour comes only in black.
Here’s my lashes without mascara.
Cat Eyes is the next best thing since Maybelline’s Great Lash. Formula is great, and the mascara wand is such a wonderful innovation. A wonderful formulation and a great mascara wand make great music together. Even if you’re a newbie to mascara, and you have a great product like Cat Eyes, it just makes mascara application easier than you can imagine.
If you love cats, a Hello Kitty fanatic, a mascara lover, or simply someone who loves unique stuff, Maybelline’s Hello Kitty Mascara is definitely a worthy buy!

Here’s an initial review on LAURA MERCIER OIL- FREE FOUNDATION PRIMER
PRICE: ? (ROUGHLY AROUND 900- 1K)
PLACE BOUGHT: FROM A SWAP IN GIRLTALK
OTHER LOCATIONS: LAURA MERCIER COUNTERS (RUSTANS MAKATI; SHANGRI- LA MALL, ORTIGAS, MANDALUYONG CITY)
THE VERDICT:
I got this from a swap with Sis enkybaby of Girltalk months ago. Didn’t get to review this early on because I’ve been getting a lot of products and it’s really taking me time reviewing ‘em all. So before this product falls into obscurity, I’m going to review it now.
Laura Mercier’s comes in a tube that’s like the brand’s Tinted Moisturizer. This is the full size already, and it’s quite small IMO.
Consistency is like moisturizer. The product is unscented, which is good because there’s no perfume in it to clog your pores. But it has a weird chemical- ish scent that might be quite a turn- off to some. The smell makes me feel light- headed before, but eventually, I got used to it.
The product is spreadable, and is absorbed quickly into the skin. After a few seconds, your face starts to mattify. It provides a dry base for foundation.
But in terms of keeping oil at bay, this is not your best bet. It just mattifies your skin as preparation for foundation application. But throughout the day, my oilies persist to come out of my pores.
It’s pretty steep for a small tube of primer, not to mention that there’s just a little amount inside the tube. I’m better off with Leyende Face Canvass or my HG, Kryolan Invisible Matt.
