Go Green!

This is a look using 3 different shades of green eyeshadows and I've also used the shu uemura drawing pencil in ME Green near the lash line.

shu uemura Haul

I recently went to my nearest shu uemura counter and got these shu uemura drawing pencils in 07 ME Green and 13 ME White. 

I've already tried these two, as you can see at the picture above. And I love it! Both have a metallic finish, but matte finish drawing pencils are available as well. The texture is really smooth, and doesn't tug your eyes. Eyeliner application is a definite breeze when using these, since it glide so smoothly. I have sensitive eyes, but these babies doesn't irritate my peepers at all. Plus, it's weightless too. Another good thing with these babies, that these doesn't contain paraben, but have cottonseed oil and jojoba oil that nourish the skin around the eyes. I also have oily lids but these babies last about 8 hours without smudging. I've swatched the liners below, but it's far more vibrant than what the picture shows. Bottom line: The shu uemura drawing pencils are great! Applying eyeliner would be an ease with these babies. You can expect ultra-smooth application with intense, vibrant, and quite long lasting results! I would definitely purchase more!

The Face Shop Haul

I bought these stuff from The Face Shop: Quick & Clean Oil Free Moisturizing Cream(50g) and Herb Clear Lip & Eye Make-Up Remover (130mL), and got two Black Label Eyeshadows (3g each) for free. 

I love the moisturizer since its oil-free and the skin absorbs the cream quickly. I wish it provides sun protection, then it would become the perfect moisturizer. The moisturizer has a sort of a mixture of  green tea and light fruity scent- I'm quite sensitive with fragrance but it didn't bother me at all and I'm actually liking the scent. I've test run the product and so far so good! It didn't gave me acne or other skin problems, and in fact when I used it I noticed that my face was brighter. I also do have a very oily skin, but when I used this product I noticed that my face isn't oily anymore- so I'm definitely impressed with this! I've experimented with it, and applied an extremely amount of the moisturizer in my face to see if my face would feel greasy, but to my surprise it didn't! So it's quite fool proof. When I applied my mineral foundation, my face didn't look cakey, powdery, or blotchy like other moisturizer does. In my opinion it's even better than Clinique Dramatically Different Mosturizer (Lotion/Gel). Go ahead and buy yourself one! I think it cost about 600 pesos correct me if I'm mistaken, but even if it cost 2000 pesos I would still buy it! I would definitely repurchase.

Unfortunately, I still haven't used the Herb Clear Lip & Eye Make-Up Remover. I'll update you guys once I've tried it. It's basically two solution an oil based clear one and green water-based solution. You'll need to shake it to make an emulsion, then wipe away!

The two Black Label Eyeshadows I got are: 05 Gold Yellow and 07 Space Blue. The eyeshadows aren't chalky at all and the texture is actually nice. However, it's not pigmented as I want it to be, but it's free so no reason to complain. The 05 Gold Yellow is light yellow gold color and the 07 Space Blue is sort of a sky blue with golden frost. I don't like it. Would I purchase one? Answer is no. I could find more pigmented eyeshadows that's worth the bucks. You'll see what I mean if you look at the swatches. I've swatched the eyeshadows with the Urban Decay Primer Potion to see if it will help make the eyeshadows more vibrant, and it did but still not as intense as I would like it to be. I'll make a review of the UDPP soon!
