First Impression on Etude house Play 101 Pencils - Great staying power!

Earlier today, I visited the nearest Etude House branch, which is in SM Lanang Premiere.  I really got curious on the idea of pencils that can be carried over as an all around face makeup.  That's why I checked out Etude House's Play 101 Pencils price and the array of shades that it has. Boy, they do come in different shades to choose from and they're actually divided on their usage!

The curiosity built up when I saw Kasper's makeup tutorial in one of K-Style's segments.  From that tutorial, I found that that Play 101 Pencils are the most versatile makeup pencils.  They're not limited to be used as an eyeliner only but also they can be used as lip color, blush and eye shadow.

I tested three (3) shades of the Play 101 Pencils to see how long they will last without a primer and with washing and with "accidental" smudging.  And voila!  They have great staying power!

Tester Swatches.
Tried them around 4 p.m. and voila!  Still visible even though this blog is written late at night.
I forgot which shade number is that turquoise color. 

It's already late now as write but as you can see, they are still visible right?  I noticed that if it's newly applied, it may smudge, like the turquoise shade.  Shade #01 smudged a bit but now, I can't smudge it.  Shade #02 didn't smudge from initial application thought it is a bit faded since I've gotten my hands wet already.  So, if there's a primer underneath, it would last the whole day if you please!

Each Play 101 Pencils costs Php348.  I believe it's a good snatch, especially for other pencils that can be used for the most parts of your face.  I think I would purchase one of them, one of these days and hopefully, I can tell you all about it! ^_^

Got some body butter lovin' from The Body Shop Sale!

Hi guise!  I admit, I was on a lazy hiatus from blogging.  With that lazy hiatus, I also took some time to set some emotions that have harbored in.  So by the time I get back, I wouldn't be to emotional. :)

To rev up and continue my love of writing and enjoying girly stuff, let me share with you what I bought from one of the biggest sales we all know, The Body Shop Sale!



I just got a tub of the most coveted body butters.  I got the Strawberry Body Butter.  As expected, it smells like real strawberries mashed to perfection to glamorize and moisturize your skin throughout the day.  The scent doesn't really last for a long time but it's good enough to whiff your senses and energize you on your day ahead.  The body butter could be a little sticky during humid days but if you stay inside in a cool place, I believe it wouldn't pose much of a problem.

The scent of strawberries on your body might just make you want to eat your self up!

The Body Shop Sale is still going on until mid-October for most of the products posted on sale.  Check out their Facebook page for more details! ^_^
