SAIZEN Nose Shadow ~ Shadow and Highlight

Another Product I bought in Saizen. I believe I have bought this product over 5 times already. 

I think it works so good as a contouring powder. This comes in 2 shades and I usually buy the lighter one. The lighter one is always out of stock so I decided to try there darker shade.

 This powder has NO shine or glitter w/c is very good. I noticed some people who contour there face and used shiny contouring powder or bronzer and ended up looking like they had a bad sunburn. (;¬_¬)

I have never used the white highlighter that comes with it. I think it doesn't show. (useless) For highlighting I use another highlighter or for my case white eyeshadow haha LOL. I think Eyeshadow is great if you find the right shade for highlighting and contouring. 

As for the packaging. I think it looks plain. Nothing out of the ordinary. What I hate about this (based on experience) the lid breaks off easily and the individual tin containers that the contouring and highlighting powder is in sometimes becomes loose and come off. >_< So you have to be very careful.

I swatched it on my hand so you can see. It's a bit dark for me I still prefer the lighter shade. :( huhuhu Another good thing about this powder it didn't break me out! :D all in all I think this is great! For 85 php it's worth it! ^_^

• doesn't cause breakouts

Cons:

• The lighter shade is always out of stock

will i buy it again?
Yes! But I want to try other contouring powders since I haven't found the perfect one for me yet. For the meantime I'll be using this

SAIZEN Glitter Eyeshadow ( Ellefar color makeup series)

Another haul from saizen! Found these oh so adorable glitter Eyeshadow! The glitter really caught my eye! I'm a sucker for colorful glittery stuff! You can buy this at saizen. I bought mine in there branch at Robinsons Galleria for (85 php)

At first I though I had such a good buy.. but I was wrong. The glitter was only on the top layer. Once you swipe of the top layer the glitter comes off with it which is a nono or false advertising since the case says... GLITTER EYESHADOW!! NOT GLITTER ON FIRST USE ONLY SHADOW o(-`д´- ｡) *curses!!

This is how it looks like when swatched... It's ok I guess for 85 php.. Still disapointed because of the glitter.. Now it's only plain old metalic eyeshadow.  The only color I like is the yellow one and the white one... The orange one looks white... the pink is similar to my terrible blush that I also bought from saizen (link) http://krisseysantos.blogspot.com/2012/12/saizen-multi-cheek-blush.html the brown.. hmmm.. looks purple... I don't know why... (；￣Д￣ arghhhh

See the glitter? It's almost gone.. >_<

I love saizen but be careful! Some of there cosmetics are such big ripoffs! >_<

The eyeshadow is usable... I just hate that they deceived me!! (◣_◢) Usotuski! at least the applicator is good.

(Saizen) Multi Cheek Blush

I visited saizen the other day in Robinsons Galleria. I didn't want to waist my effort and buy nothing so I spotted this blusher. I'm almost out of blush and I'm a huge fan of pink blush so I wanted to try this! 

MULTI CHEEK professional make up artist blush.. 

This is what it looks like when you open the case! It's soooo pink!!!! First impression... a bit scared because it was sooo cheap. (85 php) I have this belief that cheap makeup means breakouts.(*≧m≦*) 

The brush that came with the blush was TERRIBLE (blush brush blush brush haaha!!)!!! It was toooo hard and it didn't do much when it came to application... it just left huge chunks and patches on my cheeks... 
(；￣Д￣）

Now to the blush itself! hmmmm it's ok I guess... but too shiny.. almost like a highlighter but pink. :p and the colors does not show that much on my cheeks. My cheeks end up looking shiny instead and doesn't look natural at all...  

I swatched it on my hand.. can you see it? Barely.... :p it's more silver than pink a silvery cast... I have a farely light complexion but this still doesn't show on me .. I DON'T RECOMMEND IT at all!!  If you have dark skin... this will not work even more!!! 

This might work if you were very white or you want to achieve that baby pink harajuku styled blush... maybe...  (-__-) but I still think it's terrible.. worst blush ever.. I waisted 85 php! └(>o< )┘ LOL! XD I think it's better of as an eyeshadow.. a really light pink eye shadow. :p

PRETTIA bubble hair dye Honey Brown Review

Hello~minna! Time for another review! This time I'll be making a review on Liese Prettia Hair dye in Honey beige! I'll be moving back to the US soon so I need to find a way so I will not spend hundreds of dollars for hair color in the salon or whatever amount. >_< So I decided to find a hair dye that would cover my roots and can be ordered online or found in an asian store. I heard good reviews of Prettia so I decided to give it a go! (plus they said it's easy to use)

 The Packaging is sooo cute and the model is very pretty! The only thing I dont like is everything is in Japanese. I'm currently studying japanese but I only know a few characters so I had to research the instructions online.  
(●￣(ｴ)￣●) Price is: 750 but if you buy it dirrect it's much cheaper

The instructions aren't that hard to understand even if you can't read japanese but just to make sure you need to do some research! Lucky for you I'll post the instructions here! o(≧∇≦o)

This is how my hair looks before applying the Hair dye.. eeewww I have ugly roots!! 
 〜(￣△￣〜) (〜￣△￣)〜 

This is how it looks like when you fill your whole head with foam! It was super easy to apply!! You don't need anyone to help you! YEAY!  (REMEMBER!! don't shake the solution! only turn it over 5 times to mix it!!) It smells like ordinary cheap hairdye. The smell is overpowering and it will not go away with your first wash! It's a good thing the Dye came with a treatment so the smell diminished A LITTLE. >_<

I left it on my head for about 40 minutes.. the box says 20-30 but I left it on a little bit longer....

So this is the finished result!!! Tada!!!  (o´ω`o)ﾉ
IT covered my roots soooo well! Despite how light my hair was and how dark my roots were... MIRACLE!!! :D

What made it even more amazing is I didn't spend time covering my roots first.. waiting.. before covering my whole head with the dye... I directly applied it on my whole head! Of corse it's not 100% even but It's pretty good if you're living alone and don't want to spend a lot of money on a professional hair dresser! :D (✿ ♥‿♥)
