Review : Maxfactor Duo Eyeshadow in Shooting Star

I got really excited when I saw the Maxfactor counter at the then newly opened SM Olongapo. I'm a little disappointed though because there's not much in there unlike Revlon's and Maybelline's counter. There are a few colors available but I chose this one since it's more suitable for work.

There's nothing much about the package. It's as simple as it can be. It's compact and light weight so it's easy to bring along. There's a sponge tip applicator included, about an inch long, but personally, I don't really like using it. It's just to small for me to use.

Review : Careline Eyeshadow Quad (Soul)

The entire package is light, compact and easy to use on the go since it comes with four sponge applicator. It's cute at first sight but it's not really that functional for the following reasons:

You can only use the applicator that comes with it since the open area is really small for a brush to fit in.

• It seems like it may pass through the divider and mix with other colors so don't shake it much.
• It will need a lot of shaking when you're running out of eye shadow to make use of the entire 20 grams.
• If you want to depot them you may, but it's not gonna be easy. You can either use the opening where the sponge goes through or remove the lid underneath like I did.

Haul : Wish Nail Art Accessories

I bought three sets of these from Watsons for Php 69 each. A set in rectangular, tear drops and assorted shapes. The packaging is fine and easy to store, the dividers aren't that useful though because it passes through and the colors still get mixed up.

The pieces are cute and the colors are not all childishly girly. Most of it are jewel tones which are suitable for adults. The sizes of the gems suits perfectly on my nails and they are also shinier than the border gems I use as an alternative ( Haul : Nail Art Accessories ). But like the nail gems alternative I use, the shine lessens when you swipe a colorless nail polish on it.

Every set includes a small tube of glue and a nail stick. The assorted gem set have an extra mini nail file with bear prints on it. The nail file and sticks are useful but one of the nail glues is quite disappointing because it's already dried-out so don't rely much on it. It's better if you buy a glue separately since they also offer the same at Watsons and I don't have any complains about its quality.
