Review: Essence Soft Touch Mousse Make-up + Eyebrow Stylist Set

Essence Soft Touch Mousse Make-up:



Price: Php 309

Pros:
  • feels sooo soft
  • has a matte finish

Cons:
  • NOT FOR DRY SKIN! (gets really flaky)
  • as you can see in the picture above, it produces a white cast
  • has no SPF
  • lasts for about 4 hours tops, even though my skin is not that oily
  • has light to medium coverage
  • tends to cake
  • does not have a list of ingredients!
  • limited amount of shades

Verdict:

Nayyy. :(


Essence Eyebrow Stylist Set:


Though I was not pleased with the Essence Soft Touch Mousse, this eyebrow set made up for it! :)

This set contains 2 matte brown eyeshadows (a light one for the inner side and a darker one for the outer side), a small angled brush and 3 eyebrow stencils. I don't use the stencils since I normally follow my natural eyebrow arch, but these stencils could be used for those who want to experiment with different eyebrow shapes. :D

Price: Php 209

Pros:
  • packaging is very convenient
  • comes with a (usable) angled brush
  • lasts all day
  • eyeshadows are in perfect color to achieve a natural brow look

Cons:
  • None

Verdict:

Yay! <3 <3

Up next: Maybelline HyperCurl Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara

Review: Collection 16hr Lasting Perfection Concealer (2 Medium)

(Yep, I use this almost everyday)

You have probably read other reviews about this, and I bet everyone's saying that this product is great. Well, it really is! (I mean, it doesn't have a cult following for nothing)


Price: Php 299

Pros:

  • Lasts the whole day <3
  • Consistency is just right
  • Affordable!
  • Coverage is amazing
  • Does not crease

Cons:

  • Limited amount of shades

*It uses a doe foot applicator which some of you may not prefer, but I'm cool with it :)

I use this concealer for my dark circles only since this has a pink undertone. 
(no concealer, with concealer, with flash)

I just set it with my powder foundation and I'm good to go  (^・ω・^ )


Verdict:
I. Love. This. Concealer.
Probably going to buy another one soon ;)
