NICHIDO Lip Liner in Rosette Review (plus Doctor Who stuff!)

It's fun how exchange gifts and wishlists influence you to try out a new product. Haha! We had an exchange gift two weeks ago in our newsletter team and because the giver should be a "secret" we created a wishlist where everybody could write what they want to receive. Thankfully my "baby" just wanted either a USB or The Big Bang Theory Episodes. So I gave her Loki earrings! Haha! 

WHICH I MADE! EXCUSE ME! And she requested that from me long before. #excuses
Okay, well I noticed that on the wishlist, two girls wanted to receive a NICHIDO lip liner. And considering we have a 100 minimum budget, I thought that this was really cheap! So I checked this one out!

I found out that this comes in four shades: Blaze (red color), Spice (coral shade), Roseberry (nude) and this one Rosette (warm pink/brown/natural). 

Price: P100! Very affordable for a student budget!

One stroke on my hand





As you can see, it gives off a natural, warm, pink+brown color and it matches my lips perfectly! Perfect for everyday look to school! I really love wearing a natural looking lip product whenever I go to school so it's not very obvious yet you look neat and nice. And it's my first time to try out a lip liner and it really works fine!

Pros:

Good pigmentation
Nice color on my lips
Doesn't hurt my lips when applying because it has a creamy consistency
Perfect for go-to looks/"no make-up look"/natural look

Cons:
The shade is so natural on my lips I almost thought at first I didn't put anything at all! (Well, I want to try out the other shades too!)
Creaminess of the product tend to smudge and feather, but not too much. No worries about that actually.


Will I buy again?
Yes! But different shades! I would love to try Blaze and Spice. I was actually torn between buying Spice or Rosette. But I loved the redness of Blaze!




Under daylight

But I absolutely love how it looks under daylight. I love how can be matched with less-to-no make up at all or with bronzers+blush ! In fact I can totally wear it on it's own and still look like I just got out from bed! LOL! haha!

Powder + Nichido lip liner + messy hair= beach babe just-woke-up-and-I'm-off-to-go

See what I mean? Haha!

And of course, it reminds me of Amy Ponds' look! I know you know that I'm still watching Doctor Who Season 6 and she's one of the reasons why I love the show! And I'm really keen on copying her look! Hahaha! I also want ginger hair!!!!!!

Well with a dash of eyeliner, mascara, cheek tint and brow liners (and ginger hair!!) and off you rock Karen Gillan's look in here!

Talking about Doctor Who, let me just say that I'm one of the fans that really love Matt Smith's role as the 11th Doctor and now that he left the show to pass the torch to Peter Capaldi, I really wish Matt to have an awesome career outside Who!

As a tribute to the 11th Doctor,
I made a COMMEMORATIVE 11TH DOCTOR'S OUTFIT: BOWTIES ARE COOL EARRINGS






Hope you guys, Whovians, Doctor Who fans, loved them. :)
It's the best I could do to express my lateness (in every sense of the word) and love for the show and Matt Smith. :)

P.S. GUYS, I HAVEN'T WATCHED "TIME OF THE DOCTOR" YET.
So don't send me spoilers please! I know nothing about Clara yet! Hahahahaha! I'm still in Season 6! (Episode 11, to be exact -____ - ) . So please be good to me! :)

But anything you want to discuss, just comment below! :)

Love,

Hello Charmed girls!

Sem-break's in! Whatcha doin' huh? Me? I'm watching movies like The Vow and 50 First Dates and recaps of Sherlock series BBC one.
And also doing a crash diet! Yes, you read it right! My best friend Leika will be having her debut next Monday and I am one of the emcees! And I'm gonna sing too~ talking 'bout a lot of exposures huh?
So I'm preparing a lot for her very special moment--that includes jogging in place, push-ups, water-therapy and cutting down rice! Luckily, I know very well my body so I don't abuse or deplete myself of essential nutrients. I just love eating when I'm busy or stressed haha XD
And also the singing part, I'm practicing a song as of now... but I can't tell you! It's a surprise!

Aside from these exaggerated preps, (yes, but you can't blame me! We haven't seen each other for a year or so!), I'm also practicing my make-up!

The theme is blue, and I want to focus more on my eyes since it's my cutest part (LoL XD) and I want to play with my eye shadow set! I'm not a pro when it comes to blending make-ups. This tutorial is so amateur but since I liked the result, why not share this achievement! Yey!*claps*



Misty eyes

It is so misty, so blue and magical!



Here's what I used. The last three blue shades in that palette.

I've tried a lot of times to do it and now I almost perfected it,
I want to share a tutorial on how it is done.

1.) Using my fingertips, I used the lightest shade of blue to cover my eyelids.


2.) Then the next shade darker on the crease and upward. It will blend the lightest and the darkest shade of the palette.

3.) Here's the tricky part: Using the darkest shade, apply it on the outer side of your eyelids and the uppermost part of your eyes until it blends well. Re-apply the shades and blend well for stronger effect.


And here's the outcome! Ta-dah!

It's me! Sorry for the pic! >.< I just put powder and the eye shadow. That's all. Mee-hee. I'm too lazy to complete my make-up do that day.

What do you think? Any make-up advice? :)

P.S. That earring on my ear? I made it! Watch out for my new accessory collection! :D
