skin food black bean eye line pencil

applying eyeliner isn’t something i can do quickly.. i’ve tried different kinds of eyeliner in an effort to find one which i can work with..

i first tried normal pencil eyeliner.. i find it painful.. i feel i would scratch my eyes before i get a decent line..

next i tried automatic eyeliner from elianto.. it also takes some tries before the color sticks to my lids.. which results to uneven application..

next i tried gel eyeliner from face shop.. while it goes on nicely, i find the effort of using a brush tedious for everyday use..

so i went back to auto eyeliner.. this time contour resist from l’oreal.. this is easier to apply than elianto, though prone to smudges while drying..

then i tried the black bean eye line pencil from skin food.. it’s so easy to apply.. so easy that i can do it in a semi-moving vehicle (though i’m not the one driving).. and the effect is soft.. suitable for day use..

now i want to get the other colors as well.. :p

vanitibasics mirror

i love this mirror.. this makes applying eye make-up so much easier.. also grooming the eyebrows.. and it's really not the same without the light.. there's no shadow..

there's also a 10x variant.. but i find 5x is ok already..

the shopaholic goes to bangkok..

bangkok is shopper's heaven!

there's of course the chatuchak weekend market.. we spent two days there.. emerging with armloads of goodies.. while only covering less than 1/4 of the place!!

 how can you resist with all the sale 80 (baht) and sale 100 signs??? 

and apart from the tiange shopping.. there's mall shopping where you can find branded items being sold for less than half the price in manila.. like naturalizer, l'oreal and maybelline..

we got three pretty umbrellas free! :)

my boots loot! :)

and the food.. we also brought home lots of tamarind, seaweed, and even instant noodles!
i'll try to post on the items i bought.. (there are so many!!)

sigh.. thailand has such a special place in my heart.. i wouldn't mind living there.. even with the traffic, the heat, and the language barrier..

my only shopper's remorse is.. i wish i bought more!! :p

maybelline makeup remover - eye & lip

i started using loreal double extension mascara.. while it's a wonderful mascara, it's super tedious to take off..

i would start by leaving a pad of makeup remover for 20s.. a little will be removed.. then the repeat process of using a cotton bud dipped in petroleum jelly and swabbing a few lashes at a time.. tiresome and oh so long.. when i want to sleep already..

so i gave the maybelline remover a try.. soak a pad.. leave on lashes for 20s.. bye bye mascara! and my eyes don't feel irritated at all.. no stinging sensation.. and another bonus.. the skin around my eyes feel oh so smooth! no greasy after feel.. loving it! :)
