review: mac paint pots

likes
-makes eyeshadow vibrant
-comes in a lot of different colors and finishes
-doesn't crease so a base isn't necessary
-easily applied with either fingers or a brush
-the packaging is pretty

dislikes
-product can be drying on the lids ( you have to blend quickly)
-the breakable glass packaging
-expensive
-if you don't blend it properly it can kinda look cakey

would i purchase again?
probably not, with products like udpp & tfsi you can't find a better base and nyx's jumbo eye pencils are as vibrant and easier to blend. it's also cheaper.

review: smashbox softlights

lens


prism


swatches :)


likes:
-finely milled powder makes the product go on really smoothy
-the shimmer is very subtle, there's no huge chunks of glitter
-it's very versatile, it's not just for cheeks it can be used for brow hi-light
-these jumbo pots contain 0.352 oz of products and since a little goes a long way..these pots will last forever and a day!


dislikes:
-the product is too soft and crumbly. it will be a nightmare if i ever drop this
-it's pretty pricey but for the amount of product you'd be getting...
-if you're going clubbing or dancing, the shimmer might end up looking like oil in your face

overall:
if you're looking for a luminizer that gives you a really natural finish plus depositing a little color, this product is for you. its pricey but the huge pot really would make it last forever, so it's really worth it.

will i purchase again ?
yes! if and when i finish these two pots :)

review: lucas papaw ointment

likes:

-affordable
-huge tub (75g) will last forever
-will heal an dry patches on face, lips,elbows,hells, knees etc!
-a lot of people don't like the smell, but i LOVE it!
-very moisturizing
-smooth and balmy on the lips ( despite the texture)
-it has amazing staying power!

dislikes:

-not affordable in manila, have to get it online!
-if you're easily tired of products..beware! the 75g tube is HUGE and will probably last me 2 years...or more!
-some people might be bothered by the smell. although i found it pleasing
-the jar lid tends to get gunky and messy. probably had to do with the shipping though :)

overall:

this product is amazing with all its moisturizing agents and capabilities. but to be completely honest it is pretty much like vaseline but in a cute jar and a more expensive price tag. soo if you're like me, and you are willing to pay more for something prettier and a cult product, go ahead and pick one up :) you won't be disappointed :)

will i purchase again? yes! :) IF and WHEN this stuff runs out :)
