The Jaclyn Hill Favorites Palette by Morphe Brushes

     This is my second purchase of a product from a youtuber's collab with a makeup company and this time around, it wasn't because all the youtubers I watch had this... it was because I'm a  fan of Jaclyn Hill! I love her personality! She's also gorgeous and so down-to-earth. Plus, her makeup is on point! I hope I can meet her sometime in the future! Anyways, on to the review of this palette!

What I like:
  • Great for day and night looks.
  • The eye shadow quality is pretty good.
  • The pan size of the shadows are bigger.
  • The case is matte black.
  • It was securely shipped to me.



What I don't like:
  • Almost too many browns I don't use.
  • The container is simple and is not different from the typical MB palettes.
  • The only way you know its Jaclyn's palette is the little "JH" sticker in the back.
  • The palette has no mirror.
  • Limited edition and now only available in-store.


A closer look into the shadows & their swatches!

Final thoughts:
     All in all, this palette has been a favorite ever since I touched it! If you saw my latest favorites, I mentioned that I have even taken it with me to Anime Expo 2015 & J-Pop Summit 2015! Although this has a lot of browns, I love the oranges and the color palette. Even if it is bigger and that I have to take care of it more than a smaller palette, I have been using this all the time even if I was travelling. Anyways, this palette is a collection single eye shadows collected into one palette. I've heard from other youtubers that, although their pre-made palettes' shadows are really good, these singles ones are even better. Which I am happy to hear! This is my first time purchasing from MB and I'm pleased with the product! It was also shipped to me in a big box filled with styrofoam peanuts, in-cased in a thick bubble wrap envelope and had the palette, itself, placed again in the fun bubble wrap case that we love to pop. I ordered this in the next wave of stocking this. I heard from the first batch that their palettes came in broken, but MB seem to have stepped up the game in the second batch because that was a lot of effort for just that palette! This palette was a limited edition and you can no longer purchase it from MB website, but you can go to their physical store in Burbank and get it or external selling sites (i.e. Ebay). I know I gave in to the hype, but I love this palette so much! Compared to my similar yet generic palettes from DollFace Cosmetics, I can see and feel the quality difference. It was definitely worth it!

Sassy Colors' Long Wear Waterproof Eyeliner in Jet Black

Sassy Colors' Long Wear Waterproof Eyeliner in Jet Black
Here's the last installment of my Sassy Colors review... well, for now at least and until I get my hands on more of their products! Read on to see what I thought about this eyeliner!

Sassy Colors' Long Wear Waterproof Eyeliner in Jet Black

  • 90PHP
  • Sold in Watsons (where I bought mine) and department stores such as SM and LCC

What I think:
    Not a bad price for an eyeliner available even in provincial areas like Legazpi, my hometown. I like the packaging, it is pink and not hard to spot. Plus, it is retractable! No need to waste the product from sharpening it. As for the product, it feels like a nearly-dried gel consistency as if this were what a gel eyeliner would feel like in pencil form rather than a pot. It is also Jet Black when you put enough pressure in application. Sadly, I did not try this while I was in the Philippines... I opened it up when I got back here in California. My skin gets dry over here and I feel like this eyeliner that was made to withstand the heat and humidity is not compatible with the dry weather here. Meaning, it applies slightly dry on me at the first application. But, I've used so many gel eyeliners to know what works and what doesn't. The consistency definitely, as I said, will withstand the tropical climate of the Philippines which is where this eyeliner is marketed towards. But when I do apply it, it doesn't smear off and actually stays on the eyes like a gel liner would. Right now, I use this for back up and to re-touch my already-done-eyeliner on-the-go. So if you need an eyeliner that'll stick around, TRY THISSSS!

Product Review: Rimmel London BB Cream in Medium.

Rimmel London BB Cream Beauty balm 9-in-1 Skin Perfecting Super Makeup in Medium.

Hey guys!
If you all know me from before, I was a BB Cream addict! I used to scour blog sales and stay up late at night hopping from one website to another looking for the best BB cream and where to get them at the best prices. And then, I mellowed down to simply a powder foundation with a concealer under because my BB Creams were too drying for me when I moved back to the U.S. Now that BB Cream has exploded into the American scene, I thought I'd get on the boat (a little late) and try one of the newest ones to come out. I've always loved Rimmel and so I didn't hesitate to try this out!
