Comparison: UDPP vs UDPP Sin

Sorry for the lack of updates this week, since I've been so busy and just one more week to go

I'm off to a three-weeks vacation from school...

Next week, I'll be going to the mall and will do a major hauling! So look out for my haul next week! I'll be surely dropping by MAC, and Paul & Joe to check out their collections...

I'll probably get the P&J Disney blushes a well as some eyeglosses...

From MAC, some stuff from the BBR, Cream Team, and Hello Kitty..

BTW to Philippines Residents, MAC at Rustan's Makati will be having a launching event for the Hello Kitty Collection at March 21... Kita kitz! Coz' I'm surely gonna attend :D

Yumeko and Fuz enjoy your trip to Korea and NYC, respectively...

I promised that I'll do a side by side comparison of the Original UDPP against UDPP in Sin.. So here it is!

*Note:

 the one with the PINK circle is the UDPP Sin

the one with AQUA circle is the Original UDPP

the one with the YELLOW circle is without any primer

Straight from the bottles: The UDPP Sin is a metallic champagne color, while the Original UPDD is matte nude beige color.

When blended: UDPP Sin will give a metallic champagne base, while the Original UDPP will disappear in the skin.

With Amber Lights on top: You can see that the UDPP Sin will give a much more metallic/shimmery payoff, and the eyeshadow will adapt to the champagne hue of the UDPP Sin...

On the other hand, the Original UDPP will not alter anything from the eyeshadow except it will just make the color pop more...

Lasting power: Both gave me more than 16 hours of non-creasing lids...

Blendability: Some says that UDPP Sin gives easier blendability, but for me, I didn't notice a difference...

Overall, I love both of these products! I'll use the UDPP Sin if I want more sheen for my eyeshadows or if I need a colored base for my neutral eyeshadows...while I'll use my UDPP for eyeshadows that are shiny enough, if I just wanted a matte look, and if I like the color as it is...

Both versions of the UDPP will surely make your eyeshadow more vibrant and last longer...

I'm a fan of both primers... and I definitely recommend these :D

I know Philippine residents dont have access to both products however I know one alternative to the Original UDPP for non creasing lids all day long...

You can check out Art Deco Eyeshadow Base... 

This has a creamy texture, but the reason I like UDPP is because it's a bit lighter...

but Art Deco eyeshadow base will give the same lasting power as the UDPP...

Collective Haul: MAC, Lush, Elianto

Here are the things I bought for the past couple of weeks...

I wasn't able to post these stuff right away, since I'm super busy, luckily I got some free time today to show it to you...

Aside from these stuff, I actually got some purses 2 from Coach, 1 from Marc by Marc Jacobs, and 1 from Dior, but boo me I didn't get any pictures, but if anybody is wondering or would like to see the purses just tell me... I'd be more than happy to show it to you...

Just an FYI, I asked my aunt to help me buy the purses, so to the Philippines residents, there's still no Dior or Coach here; however, Marc by Marc Jacobs is located at Greenbelt 5 but not sure if the purse I got is available there... But there are some good stuff so check it out!

From MAC... This is just the items I got for now... Probably by the next few weeks there would be a larger haul since I'll be getting my MSF's from BRB, lots of lippies and glosses, and Dame Edna stuff... So what I got are 2 lip conditioner sticks and prep and prime lips... I got these because my microfine lip refinisher broke off! Boo! I know! I was loving the white half and I so I just thought I'll get new lip conditioner sticks; however, it turns out its different from the lip conditioner sticks! The color is similar with the lip conditioner stick but the feeling o the lips and consistency is much more similar to prep and prime lips... but lip conditioner stick is ok I can finish it within a month, since I use it quite frequently... 

Moving on to the prep and prime lips... this product is heaven on my lips! It's really similar to the one in the microfine lip refinisher but a teeny bit less moisturizing but I really love how this makes my lips so soft but not overly moisturized... and its really colorless unlike the lip conditioner stick which gives a white cast in my lips... I've been using this for just a couple of weeks but let me tell you I'm almost half way! I love how it feels in my lips that I keep on applying it to my lips! I use it as a lip balm heehee... And I'm so LOCO that I didnt even tried it if it would really make the lipstick last longer hahaha... For the past weeks, I've been lipstickless and glossless... what I just do is apply this and put some uv protection lip balm... I even use this sometimes at night after I put on my lip conditioner... I know, I'm such an addict wahahaha.... BUT IT'S NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!!! BOOOOO!!!!! EVERY MAC STORE IN THE PHILIPPINES DON'T HAVE THESE NOW!!! THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE STOCKS WILL ARRIVE BOOO!!! So if anyone would like to give me one I'll gladly accept!!! I'm literally begging right now LOLz!

Elianto stuff:

I bought a couple of aqua eyeshadows, which are liquid eyeshadows... you may notice I've bought some doubles its because I'd be giving some to some beauties ;p and ofcourse some are mine... I think I'll be buying more of these for my next contest...

I also got some mousse eyeshadows.... I'm still debating whether to keep everything for myself or if I should give some away... I'll also buy more of these for my next contest...

I also bought some palettes to give as gifts... these palettes are really beautiful! I tried them out in the store and the pigmentation is good too! I thought it would be crappy but when I tried these, I was so impressed! These aren't chalky as well, not powdery at all... but ofcourse we couldn't expect it to be as silky as shu uemura or NARS eyeshadows, but they're pretty good, texture wise...

From Lush... I'll admit, these aren't everything I bought... some already made its way to the bathrooms, some to friends, lots to my mom, and some are already used... So here are what's left....

I stocked up on Snowcake since when I visited the store there are only few left... I also bought Honey I Washed the Kids again, since it really smells yummy! And it it lasts only a few baths for me.... I wash myself with this about 10 times per bath time... ahahaha...I also gave my brothers some of these...BTW my twins brothers are in love with Honey I ashed the Kids! Once in awhile they go to their bathroom just to smell it ahahaha... I also got Rockstar a huge chunk made its way to my cousin and another to my bathroom... 

I also bought some soap sets for my relatives and friends...

I also bought 6 soap tins... The two pictured above are the only ones without anything in it...

I actually bought 3 solid perfumes... Only 1 is left with me... I gave 2 to my cousin and a friend... I kept for myself a Honey I Washed the Kids Solid Perfume... I also bought lipbalms...

I bought 5 Soft Couer massage bars.. these smell super yummy... I like these... The smooth one is the one I'm using.. the rest, I keep in a fridge so it wont melt, and that's why it looks dry and bit flaky but it feels super good when used just out of the fridge...

I also bought a couple of Aqua Mirabilis and Buffy exfoliator... I've already finished a bar of Aqua MirABilis and its soo good! It makes my skin so smooth and soft and my skin feels so clean! I'm in love with this! As you can see, another half was used... I haven't used Buffy yet but I'll use it after I finish the half Aqua Mirabilis... I also kept this in my fridge so it'll stay as nice... My mom loves Aqua Mirabilis too!
