Caronia Touch of Beige

You'd think I'd have enough of neutral nails, but I picked up another because I found that I'd already made a visible dent on my last nude nail polish and that I travelled out of town without it. I searched the supermarket shelves and found a neutral similar to Chic's Mod Beige. So how does Caronia's Touch of Beige fare?

First of all, even if I bought it for a trip, I wasn't able to use it on said trip because it took me a while to open the bottle. I curse my weak wrists often, but I'm pretty glad no one's tried to open it.

EB Advance Eye Brow Kit

Honestly, I bought this brow kit because I needed a mirror, and in the debate between a one use mirror, a face product I was unlikely to use, and a brow kit... this one won.

At Php 220 for a brow kit, I was getting a lot of bang for my buck with the EB Advance Eye Brow Kit.

Olay Magnemask Infusion Rejuvenating Sheet Mask

Actually bought this mask because I forgot to pack an essence on a short trip and I heard this was chock full of essence.

Did the Olay Magnemask Infusion Rejuvenating Sheet Mask do well or disappoint?

Travel Empties: Natur Shampoo and Conditioner

Not to be confused with a retail brand, Natur's Shampoo and Conditioner came from an unnamed hotel close to home. Since I used my own products during that time, I decided to grab a set for use farther from home.

Fortunately? On a trip much farther than that, I got a chance to use it and used up the Conditioner of the set. I will probably finish this shampoo since it would be wasteful not to use it. However, like most hotel toiletries, I find this rather bland.

Both shampoo and conditioner smell like citrus-apple, toeing the line between pleasant and car air freshener (for me, it smells more like the latter on application, and more apple-y  on my hair). Both are very light and you will need to use a lot per application.

I use a leave in conditioner after since I feel that this isn't enough.

Altogether a pretty bland, pretty standard hotel amenity.

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner

Thank you C, for letting me try this Kat Von D Tattoo Liner!

Got this a while back but only remembered to post because of all the hullabaloo about it.

Espoleur Mascara from Daiso in Purple

Monkey see, monkey do. I've been watching a Chinese drama where the female lead sports blue mascara. And seeing a positive YT review of Daiso's Espoleur Mascara, I decided to buy this baby in purple.

Boy, was that a bad idea.

Celeteque Acne Solutions Acne Spot Corrector Gel

OMG I am so glad I found you again.

I posted some time ago about a Snoe spot treatment I was using because I lost my Celeteque one and didn't want to repurchase the same thing because I lost it.

Whisper Always radiant with Smart Foam

Alright guys, I have a new favorite sanitary pad in rotation and it is the Always Radiant with Smart Foam.

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about it, but I really enjoy using this.

The Shelf: January 2019

Very boring. Just for recording purposes.

Thoughts below.

Lindsay All-in One Energizing Gold Modeling Mask

The internet said that this existed years ago, but I've only tried it this month. I had been dying to try a rubber mask and this caught my eye because it was on the cheaper side. I'd like to say around P65, but it could have been P110 >_< I bought it a long while ago so I can't find the receipt...

Either way, it seemed a much better deal than the popular Dr. Jart ones.

Revlon Matte Balm

Less than a month ago, I showed which products I repurchased for use this year. One of my repurchases was a different shade of Revlon's Matte Balm.

I know this is a really old product, but I really like this balmy lip crayon.

CosRx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser

Bought this cleanser a long while ago during a CosRx Haul (half of which are still pending review). While I'm not a big fan of their Salicylic Cleanser, how'd I find this?

Haul: Repurchases for 2019

It's the end of the year, meaning... next year is just around the corner. And funnily enough, for the first time in a long time, I'm back to buying things I know work for me instead of new products I want to try. What's somewhat surprising is that I've already stashed for 2019 instead of buying as I go since I've previously been trying my best to de-clutter. But then my favorite Safeguard cleanser was discontinued this year and I'm having anxiety issues that the same thing will happen to some of my favorites, unlikely though it is. So here we are.

While not all HG status, here's a list of some of the things I've found worth stashing for 2019:
