White Shimmer eyeshadows

I am a big fan of white eye shadows especially the shimmery ones- its been a staple make up for me for years- will probably stop using it only if I am already old and my eyelids are already wrinkly. I can definitely say that I wouldnt be caught dead without this on :-)


White shimmer eye shadows can give you that simple instant wide awake- fresh look. I am amazed that a simple white shimmer when applied to your eyelids can accentuate your beauty especially if you have  smooth fair skin.

So far my HGs are The Body Shop's shimmer cubes- (single white cube), and Sue Devitt's roller ball eyeshadow in Kouri. These days, I always use TBS over Sue Devitt's. TBS shimmer cubes are highly pigmented, one stroke of the brush and you're good to go, as for Sue Devitt's Kouri- it is a cream white shimmer powder with a rollerball - to achieve rich white sparkly eyelids, you have to apply a lot to build a more defined white color.


I also bought two white eye shadows from The Face Shop. Since I have oily eyelids these doesn't stick for long- a primer is needed if you want it to stay put. It has micro glitters that sparkles as the light hits it. I think though that a white shimmer eyeshadow with micro glitters like this is good for evening affairs - or if you work in an office with a lot of fluorescent lights. Natural sun light can make it look chalky. Its not as shimmery as The Body Shop's but to compensate they added the glitters as sparklers.

As of the moment I am still willing to try other brands, as long as they are shimmery and has staying power then I'll be happy to add them to my make-up collection. :-)

The Body Shop Brow and Liner Kit

"Getting a beautiful pair of eyebrows is one of the most useful make-up trick on the planet.."

-www.ultimate-cosmetics.com/beauty/.../eyebrows.htm

Definitely true! A face without a well defined eyebrow is just- incomplete I guess. For me an eyebrow shapes a woman's face, like a finishing touch. I am not lucky enough because I wasn't born with thick eyebrows. Mine is so thin, that I would have to "create" or "draw" an eyebrow to add definition to my face. I have struggled for years using different eyebrow pencils, most are too dark that I ended up buying the cheap china eyebrow pencils for Php 10 a piece. It worked for a while for me because the color is not strong but kinda like black gray. Then I became aware of what celebrities use- luckily my second eyebrow powder product turned out to be my HG- and that is The Body Shop Brow and Liner Kit. It may seem expensive, I am not sure anymore I think its P799 at TBS stores. But you'll get two shades and each pan will last about 2 years- so considering that it will last you almost 4 years- then it should definitely be considered CHEAP . (take note that I use mine every day- heavy brow defining)

Comparing it with other brands I tried like the James Cooper eyebrow powder and Wetnwild Ultimate eyebrow powder, this is more refined, and soft. With the help of a good brush (the one included in the compact is useless) you will be able to take control and shape, or create beautifully defined eyebrows.

Will stick to this. Perhaps by the end of the year I'll be on my 2nd compact.

Bath and Body Works PS I LOVE YOU Spring Fling

"Spring Fling is a flirty blend of soft petals,sparkling water and fresh air inspired by the thrill of falling in love..."

Description
The fragrance opens with fresh notes of water and ozone, mixed with citrus and melon. The floral heart blends soft petals of muguet, honeysuckle and rose. The dry-down is a sheer combination of vetiver, cedarwood and musks. 

I bought this because I love Honeysuckle and rose scents! I had finished up my bottle of BBW Wild Honeysuckle but couldn't find it anywhere even on eBay, so when I saw the notes as indicated and basing on its great reviews in MUA I bought this scent instead. I am glad I did! Every time I spray this on my colleagues would compliment that I smell good. For me, I smell and feel beautiful! It is moderately strong and as it fades it dries down to a lovely floral scent. I was even surprised one time when I smelled this when I  woke up from an afternoon nap- I checked my pillows to find the source of the scent and I cant believe it  was in fact coming from my bare shoulders! Then I remembered I have sprayed this a lot that day.

So this has staying power on skin and that is good because this is a classy feminine scent. I found out online that this has been discontinued so if you want to have one, check online stores like eBay.
