Product Review: MAC Lady Danger Lipstick

This week has been a tough one for me. I think I need to reward myself with a new shade of lipstick from MAC that I think I dont have in my collection. To be inside a MAC store is like being a kid inside a candy shop.. I just love everything there.. There is this magnetic field that keeps attracting me to the lipstick rack... This gorgeous "Bright Coral-red" baby simply catches my eye.. Tried it and without any further hesitations... This MAC Lady Danger is coming home with me.. :D

My thoughts on this product:
It is a bold bright red orange lipstick with warm undertone and with matte finish. Leaning more on the red side than the orange. I have been loving MAC Lipstick because of the longevity and pigmentations--makes worth the amount of money you need to pay.

I tested the longevity of the product last night when I had dinner with friend. I ate a lot, and to my surprise the lipstick stays closely intact to my lips most likely about 5-6 hours and leaves a stain behind.

The consistency is not drying and not to creamy, no foul smell and flavor which is a big plus. The color coverage is so awesome and intense.

Product Review: Kohl / Kajal / Dry Eyeliner

Hi Everyone!

I am so happy to share with all of you that I am currently attending make up workshops at The Makeup Artistry, so I can share more make up technique and tips to all of you. Yesterday, during my workshop, I came across this -- Dry Eyeliner or commonly known in the Middle East as Kajal. No second thought, I purchased the product for only Php 250 (50% discount), originally priced at Php 500 (I think).

I am truly amazed with this product. It has been my problem that whenever I will line my waterline with black eyeliner, regardless if it is high end or dupe, I always end up having a Panda eyes.. Yes, my eyeliner smudges all the time, so as an option I always top it with black eyeshadow.

Generally, kajal or kohl liner is ideal for waterline. You can also use it at eyeliner to upper lashes but you have to top with black eyeshadow. Kajal eyeliner, glides easily on the waterline. This is meant to be creamy, and once applied a cool sensation. 

PROs:

- does not smudge in the waterline

- so black and perfect for smokey eyes

- no foul / pungent smell

- handy and can fit your make up purse

- no need to sharpen

- glides easily

- claims to protect the eyes from infection since it is made naturally

CONs:

- quite expensive

- not readily available in Philippines

- can be messy if not applied properly

I hope you find this review helpful, be careful Loves when buying Kajal Eyeline, there are fakes that is not manufactured naturally nor made from cosmetics instead made from soot.

Stay beautiful always.. inside and out!
