I saw this vimeo site from Liz of Projectvanity.com and thought of uploading a video here not youtube. Youtube is really scary with all those nasty comments.. :C Pardon the poor quality of my video.. It was my first time to film myslef doing makeup and I actually do not know where to look. Hahaha Please excuse every mistake on this video and my watery eyes.. The outer corner of my eyes just washed away the foundation and liner always.. :C I also inadvertently erased the part where I highlight the inner corner of my eyes.. Geezz..
Here are the products that I used:
KevinBeautymaker Aqualight Foundation in #2
In2it Foundation in Harvest
Elianto Cream COncealer in #2
Avon Simply Pretty eyebrow cake in brown

Dollface Cosmetics: 88 Avant Garde Palette
Price: 900 pesos
Finally, a new palette after months. Supposedly, the 88 metal palette is on top of my list but later on found the colors too boring for my taste. The avant garde palette perfectly fits my lemming for a new palette that is wearable daily and great for experimenting new looks.
This palette is a combination of matte and shimmery eyeshadows. What I definitely love about this is they are not too powdery compared with my 180 palette. They are very pigmented too. There are a few e/s that are duo chrome. They reflect and shimmer beautifully. The palette can be divided into three parts in my opinion -- the daytime neutrals, the fun and funky shades and the sultry smokey colors.
Back to my first love. I got my first ever palette (the 79 pc one from dollface like 2 years ago) and it is only now that I got the chance to buy once again from their shop. I love that my palette arrived without any damage. It was wrapped very securely. Thanks Pearl. :D
Here are some swatches of the eyeshadows. All are swatched without primer.
The eyeshdows are really pigmented but I am not impressed much on some matte colors because some shades do not pick up easily. I need to scratch the eyeshadow for the colors to show up but the shimmery ones are very impressive. They are creamy and really pigmented.
Pond's Perfect Care Cold Cream
Deep Cleanser
My first every makeup remover is Lancome BI FACIL eye makeup remover given by my aunt way back in college when I started loving makeup. After, I emptied one bottle, I never had the chance to use it again because it is way pricey for a student like me. Then just two months ago, I bought this very inexpensive cold cream from Pond's. I was not expecting much from this because I am allergic to most of Pond's products. However, this tiny tub is an exception.This is used as a makeup remover. In my case, I only used it in removing my eye makeup. (I use Eskinol Facial Cleanser as a makeup remover for the rest of my face. Yes, I use it before washing my face and this routine helped my skin a lot. Zits no more even on super stressed days in school.)
This is an illustration to show you how it removes makeup well. On the first picture is a swatch of Maybelline's gel liner. I rub it gently on my eye area in circular motions to remove the makeup and swipe it off with a tissue. I even tried using towel or cotton but facial tissue is the best. :p The third picture shows that there are still residue of the makeup. Actually, this does not remove all the my mascara and eyeliner underneath my upper waterline in the first application. I have to redo the routine twice or thrice to remove all the dirt and excess makeup. I have no qualms on using over and over again because it feels so gentle on my skin. No dryness or tight feel at all since it is a cream cleanser just right for my dry skin. It has a very nice but subtle scent too.
Over all, this a very nice product. I will definitely buy again!
