Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub Review

   As promised, here's the review for my recent haul post.

    Tony Moly's Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub

Comes in this cute lip pout jar (which is probably the reason i checked it out)


There were no descriptions on the counter whatsoever but it was pretty much self-explanatory when i opened the tester.

After the lip scrub.


Before and After


   Pros:

  • Does a good job on exfoliating your lips
  • Doesn't have a funny smell
  • Leaves your lips moist
  • Comes in a cute jar 

      Cons:
    • The way it was packed is somewhat unhygienic because it doesn't come with any applicators. I suggest using a spatula.


     

    Tony Moly Micro Lip Haul

        Tony Moly is one of those korean cosmetic stores that are currently trending here in my country. Naturally, i waltz in one and looked around for a while. As any korean beauty shop, their product packaging often look cute that coax you to take em home like pets and some are quite pricey. I usually fall victim to those alluring cuteness when i shop alone, but this time, my skepticism won (yay!).


      So i bought:

    • Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub for 348.00php
    • Prestige Snail Lip Treatment Stick for 448.00php

    Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub and Prestige Snail Lip Treatment



    I use this occasionally when my lips chap or too dry to wear a lipstick on.




    Twisted to the maximum to show how much product there is.


      Product reviews will be posted soon :]

    Winged Liner Tutorial


    A simple winged liner pic-torial.


    Start off with a primer.

    Start from the outer corner of your eye, then gently flick towards the end of your eyebrow.

    From near the pointy tip of the line you just drew, connect to your lash line.

    Fill the empty space.

    Trace along your lash line, this time from the inner corner to the "wing"

    Products Used:
    • E.L.F. Cosmetics Eyelid Primer
    • E.L.F. Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner in "Black"

    Punk Smokey Eye Tutorial

       Step by Step Tutorial:
    1. Primer up (i used E.L.F. Studio eye shadow primer in sheer). Then contour the outer v towards the middle crease to create a bit of depth
    2. Use a black pencil liner to trace as close as you can along your upper lash line and lower lash line, getting thinner as you reach the middle part.
    3. Apply black eye shadow over your lids. Remember to tap excess product to avoid dropping some and mess up your makeup.
    4. Use a flat brush (i used E.L.F. Studio Professional Eye Liner Brush) to apply black eye shadow along the outer V down to the lower lash line to blur out the liner pencil, giving it the smokey look.
    5. Using a shadow brush, apply highlighter on your brow bone to enhance your eyebrows and a stronger brow bone.
    6. Finally some liquid eyeliner and mascara.





    Products Used:
    • E.L.F. Studio Eyelid Primer
    • E.L.F. Studio 100 Piece Eyeshadow Palette
    • E.L.F. Studio Liquid eyeliner
    • CoverGirl Clump Crusher by Lash Blast Mascara

        It has a creamy almost gel like consistency with micro glitters and pearlescent effect. I found it a bit hard to apply with a brush , so i used my finger instead. I'm still exploring this one to see which methods works and what effects if used with different applicators.

    Mini Loot!



         Weeks of savings goes to...


    Yup...

        This moment of bliss after the stress of everyday and having to deal with unpleasant people... 
        Can't wait to try these out :D

    The First Step is Always the Hardest to Make

      So this is the first ever post i have on this blog, lemme break the ice.


      You can call me Ric, Ric-ric, Mar-mar, whatever you prefer. Currently a student living in Philippines. The one who inspired me to go this far is my best friend who also happens to be my boyfriend. 

      I love cats, dogs, big polar bears, fat penguins and all cute fluffies.  I pass time by doing all sorts of characters with my face as a canvas, watching movies, TV sitcoms, series and anime. Video games are a must and i spend days and sometimes without sleep obsessing over one (So if i'm inactive for a week or so, it's probably because i got a new game). 

       Being an elder sister of three boys, i have accumulated a lot of patience with every fight, pranks, bad behaviors and shenanigans all these years but i also toughened up and would definitely fight back when needed. I will not tolerate rudeness in any form under my domain. Be nice and i'll be even nicer. So try not to be an arse when i'm around or i'll send you out with a sledgehammer. 

      I'm a fan of many things that aren't exactly normal... Living in a place where anything that strays from the ordinary isn't easily accepted and sometimes frowned upon makes it kinda hard for people to express themselves and how they want without being ridiculed or mocked.

     This is the purpose of my blog. Simply practicing what i love doing and my individuality in hopes to encourage people who yearns to show the world who they are and what they're capable of without fear or insecurities (just don't do anything crude or criminal, aye?). 

     If you have questions, suggestions or anything you'd like to talk to me about, you are very welcome to do so :D



    My Features

    This blog will serve as my facade, my way of showing people who i really am and the things i like to do... most of it will be about make up and some random things so i'll try to make this as organized as possible :]
