If you'll notice, I've been reviewing a lot of Face Shop's products because I really love them! The Face Shop's products are pricy but it's worth it. The quality, the gorgeous packaging! It's awesome!

So for today, I'm going to make a review about The Face Shop's Easy Cover Stick Concealer

Concealers are very important to correct or cover our darks circles, blemishes, it's also very useful for correcting your make-up and highlighting your features especially your nose bridge, forehead and chin.

In order to cover dark spots, a concealer must be 3 shades lighter than your natural skin tone.

Blending is very much needed for you to not look to white.

Packaging: 

The packaging is pretty simple. I love simple Korean Cosmetics as long as the product actually works. I got the shade N203 as you can see. It's a travel friendly product because of the stick unlike some concealers who are contained in a glass tube or something.

Swatches: 

Unblended

Blended

Instructions:

• After applying your foundation, apply the product under your eye to cover the dark circles, cover blemishes, apply on the bridge of your nose, your chin and forehead, but not on your whole forehead.
• Blend it with a concealer brush or a beauty blender (if using a beauty blender, just tap onto it and be sure not to glide or swipe it.
• Set with a setting powder or powder foundation

I look funny here my goodness!

Personal Review:

Eyebrow pencils are the most important weapon a girl must have. Eyebrows are a huge deal. Your day will not be complete without drawing a perfectly shaped eyebrow. This is how I found this product, so my eyebrow pencil ran out which is also a Face Shop's product (one of my favorite brands) if you are familiar with lovely.me design my eyebrows, so I decided to run to the shop and get that eyebrow pen. Unfortunately, it wasn't available at that store but there are other products to choose from so I decided to go with this one.

I thought they were almost the same but upon using this product I noticed some differences about them.

They have the same packaging, not the same color though, same pen point and it also comes out with an eyebrow brush.

This is the tip, no need to sharpen, just turn the case to get more product

It comes with a brush which is very essential. Yay!

What I like about this product is that it's very easy to use, the shape of the end of the pen makes it easier to draw your eyebrows, though this one's tip is thicker than lovely.me design my eyebrows but it's how you use it. This type of eyebrow pencils are starting to be a trend, I saw this type from Etude House and some make-up brands are starting to get the idea because it's easy to use.

I like this product because of it helps you define your eyebrows better but what I'm not a fan of is that it's a bit thick and it has a bit of a creamy texture and you don't get so much from the first swipe so you really need to draw it harder. But not too hard that you break it.

One thing I struggle the most by using this product is when I draw the below curved part of the eyebrow because it gets sticky and it's really hard to draw but you just have to stretch your skin by raising your eyebrows to draw it easily.

This shade is brown but they also have a really really brown color and greyish brown, because we all know that Koreans are crazy when it comes to hair color so it's really important to math your eyebrows with your hair color.

I mentioned on my previous blog that for you to achieve a perfect eyebrow, you must have the right tools. I think this one is okay. It's better if you use an eyebrow mascara.

First swipe (I did swipe hard enough)

After several swipes (seriously LOL)

This is how I do my eyebrows (no concealer to highlight)

So to sum it all up, these are the pros and cons;


Pros:

• Very easy to use
• Has its own eyebrow brush
• No need to sharpen
• Helps you define your eyebrows easily
• Easy to erase but doesn't fade all day

Rating:

4/5

Eyebrows on fleek all the way!

I noticed that L'oreal True Match Liquid foundation is now making a huge hype on Facebook and I read a lot of comments that most of its buyers were really satisfied. However, most blogs are actually contradicting, but anyway I was still interested so I decided to give this product a shot. I don't fancy drug store make ups, and I really prefer Korean cosmetics but L'oreal Paris is known to be one of the best drugstore make-ups out there. This product costs 600 PHP.

I got the N4 Nude Beige shade

This product claims have:

• Shade Micro Precision - which means they have 5 matching pigments conditioned to the color structure of Asian skin tone.
• Finish Micro-Perfection - ultra-fine pigments refine and smooth skin inch by inch.
• Texture Micro-Homogenity - ultra-gliding texture infused with oil cocoons skin with sublime comfort.

Instructions:

Shake before use
Get some product from the pump
Apply and blend onto your face
(For better results set your face with powder or powder foundation, even though this product is matte, it still needs to be set)

This foundation is very tricky, I usually don't read instructions on how to use it simply because it's easy, pump and use it. I noticed that the texture was very runny, then I decided to check the label below and read the instruction that you should shake it first before you use it, after shaking it, it thickened.

What I love about this foundation is it truly does matches my skin tone and it's not too hard to blend. It's not too pink and not too yellow. It just goes well with your skin tone. I think that's because of the Shade Micro Precision they were claiming.

SWATCHES:

This is the texture when shaken

When blended

One thing I noticed about this liquid foundation is that after blending these swatches, they tend to darken on the edge, and there are glittery particles that I don't understand why and I seriously need an explanation for that but no worries since they don't show up on my face, not that I know of but it really doesn't.

When I first used this product since I have no knowledge that it should be shaken first before use, it felt oily and heavy on the face. I kept retouching and retouching every two or three hours, the heaviness was really annoying. It has a matte finish, though as I've mentioned, as the day goes by, it's really oily. Also, they claim that this product will smoothen your skin inch by inch, it somehow does that so yay for them.

What I liked about this product is that it's designed for Asian women's skin and it really does, the shades, but I really don't like it when it's hot my oiliness blends with this product's heaviness so it was really uncomfortable and annoying.

I also don't like the smell, it smells rubberish (if that's even a word) I love foundations with good scents or let them have no scents at all!

This foundation is for medium coverage by the way but build-able to full coverage

These are the photos of how the products looked on my face (no powders and concealers)




As you can see, I haven't applied a concealer but it hid my dark circles and blemishes, plus points for L'oreal!

So to sum it all up here are the pros and cons of this product

Pros:

• It truly matches your skin tone (hooray for that!)
• Somehow smoothens your skin
• Matte finish so no need to put on lots and lots of powder to set
• Different shades to choose from
• Medium coverage (build-able to full)
• Almost covers dark circles and blemishes
• Acceptable price

Cons:

3 out of 5

I find it hard shopping at the mall simply because I'm not comfortable with sales ladies coming near me asking if I need help, not to be rude or anything, I know it's their job, but it's just too awkward for me. I just want to look around and check out stuff. Their presence makes me buy anything even when I don't need which is not their fault of course it's just because I don't want to disappoint them or waste their efforts by assisting me. I don't know, it's just too awkward for me. LOL. Luckily, online shopping is now a major trend.

Lazada claims to provide their consumers with a wide range of choices either health / beauty, home or appliances and many many more. Lazada helps their consumers shop effortlessly. There are so many online shop nowadays and some even sell stuff on Facebook or Instagram but you need to be careful and make sure that every transaction is secured.

Lazada offers cash on delivery which means you can pay your transactions once they arrive on your doorstep, you can shop even without a credit card! It also helps the consumers build trust because you can only pay for the item once you had the opportunity to inspect your product.
Lazada also claims to offer 100% buyer protection which means you can return any product within 14 days upon delivery and only trusted merchants and service providers are allowed to sell in the site.

You can read more from their website here.

Based on my personal experience, these are the pros and cons of shopping with Lazada

Pros: 

• Effortless shopping (of course) just search what you want t buy and then it will show you a lot of offers.
• Various range of products from branded to local, from less expensive to high end, you can find everything here.
• The delivery is very fast which I love, my orders were scheduled to arrive at June 21-22 but bam! I received a text on June 20 and my products were there plus it's free shipping since my total purchase was more than 1,500 php
• Products are sealed, mine was covered in bubble wrap so you don't have to worry about things being broken. I bought a contour powder kit and I was worried it would shatter into pieces, but thankfully, everything is well. I wasn't able to take a picture of my items wrapped because I was so excited. Sorry about that.
• The delivery guys were very friendly. They make jokes a lot and they remind you if they are near on your location. They are very accommodating. 
• Cash on delivery - cash on delivery is very convenient especially for me since I don't have a credit card and I'm lazy enough to deposit money on the bank. However, this doesn't apply on all the products, it will depend on the supplier.
• Awesome deals and discounts! I got my items at a discounted rate and it's not just a 10% discount. Most of the items on Lazada are discounted so yayyy! 

Cons:

I decided to write a blog because of my serious love for make-up, most especially Korean products. Well, I thought I had a good start until I stopped blogging for about two to three months I guess, because I ran out of ideas, I ran out of make-up products to review.

1. Let your blog be you

2. Read read read and read other blogs

3. Blogging is not always about the money

4. Listen only to yourself but be open

5. Let your voice be heard

"I wanted to learn how to apply make-up but I can't, I only use powder and lipstick and that's it! But I really want to learn"

Some girls wanted to start learning how to apply make-up but they think they don't have the talent to begin plus buying make-up is very very expensive and sometimes you can't decide which one you'll buy. I can still remember when I was in this situation. I really wanted to learn how to draw my eyebrows PROPERLY. :D I used to think that it's so freaking hard so for you guys, I'm willing to share some tips on how to begin beautifying your face.

1. Ask opinions and advice

When I am unsure of what type of make up should I use I usually ask for opinions of the people who are either professional or have this huge love for make-ups. Simply because they know better. They most probably tried almost all of the make-up brands, what to buy or what is not to buy. So if you have a tight budget or don't wanna waste your money by using useless products, ask someone or read a blog :)

2. Never be afraid to make mistakes

I probably used all of the wrong products without being aware of it and of course, I used to draw my eyebrows in an unacceptable way. My eyeliner was always out of place always smudging. This are just some mistakes that I took note of, so again, listen to other's opinion if they tell you you're eyebrows are too short, it's too elongated, well they are trying to help you out by helping you do your make up properly especially if you know, you're just starting to do it. That's okay, someday you'll look back and say, oohhh my eyebrows were really bad. LOL.

3. Find the best product suitable for you

4. Practice makes perfect

5. Know the basics

This is me when I was still learning, bad eyebrows, poor application of eyeliner. LOL
