I ♥ Philippine Drugstore Makeup Tag

Hello lovies! 

I want to do a tag that has been popular on youtube but as I’ve read on http://pinaybeautyinabudget.blogspot.com she made a local version which made me think of doing one since I’ve tried a lot of local drugstore makeups already. I searched on my make-up case to see the local makeup stuff that I have. 

so this is it the

 I ♥ Philippine Drugstore Makeup Tag!

1. What is your favorite local drugstore makeup brand?

   hmmmmm.. I don’t really have a specific one but if I were to choose then maybe I’ll go for  Ever Bilena since I’ve tried more of there products and was satisfied than the other local brands, but doesn’t mean I don’t love the other local brands 

2. What are your favorite face product?

     Now on this part I can’t just choose one. It will be soooooooooooo hard for me. So I’ll try to list some of the products I’ve tried and put SOME of  the pros as well as the cons since I would be doing reviews on them later on.  :)

<3  4U2 Face Value BB cream –  P 294.00

PROS:

§  It has good coverage  - Medium to full

§  It feels light on the face

§  Dewy finish

§  Doesn’t trigger oiliness on the skin

CONS:

§  Concealing is still a must for dark/red spots

§  It only comes with a 20g tube (I hope thet hve a bigger one)

§  It’s a bit expensive for others considering it only has 20g of the product

    <3  Ever Bilena Advance Studio Finish Stick Foundation   - P165.00

PROS:                           

§  has a good coverage – Medium to full

§  It could also be used as concealer

§  It has a slight dewy finish

CONS

§  If you have oily skin then you have to set it well with a good finishing powder or it will feel sticky and heavy

<3  Kokuryu Summer Cake - P 100.00

PROS:  

§  Excellent coverage ,medium to full

§  Lasting power is good even in humid weather

§  Very affordable

§  Great for oily skin

§  It doesn’t oxidize

CONS:

§  It has a “granny scent” to it which annoys me

§  Water activated, you have to wet a sponge/brush for it to be used

§  You have to be really careful when applying it or it would look uneven, streaky or cakey

3. What are your favorite cheek product?

I’ve also got a few items that I love 

<3 Nichido Mousse Blush - P 170.00 (I bought it on sale at P 85.00)

PROS:

§  Affordable

§  Easy to apply and the color is buildable

§  Could be used as a base to your powder blush (to make it last longer)

CONS:

§  I can’t think of any! but this line of blush will be faced out   so if you see one? don’t hesitate to buy.

<3 Careline Mineral Blush-on – P95.00

PROS:

§  It’s so affordable that I got every shade there is! nyahah

§  Could be used everyday and didn’t cause irritations even though I have sensitive skin

§  You get 2 shades in one packaging

§  They have a brown shade, good for contouring

CONS:

§  It tends to be a bit powdery so you have to tap the excess before applying

§  Some shades are not that pigmented, so make sure to try the tester first

4. What are your favorite  lip products?

   <3 Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick – P 155.00

PROS: 

§  Variety of shades to choose from reds, pinks and nude

§  Stays for 4-5 hrs. not bad for the price

CONS:

§  It may tend to dry your lips (you can put some lipbalm and let it set for awhile before applying the lipstick or  put lipgloss after applying the lipstick  )

5. Least favorite product?

Ever Bilena Mousse  Eyeshadow - P 100.00.  When I bought this and swatched it on the EB counter, It was pigmented and and glides on smoothly so I bought 5 shades. After several months the consistency was crappy, when applied to the lids it is cakey (i don’t know if it’s the right word) but when applied to the wrist the consistency is a lot better. I think You have to warm it up just to loosen up the product.

6. What is the best makeup bargain?

The best makeup bargain for me is the Ever Bilena Magic Lipstick – P 80.00 . It comes with different colors and you can’t seem to predict what color it would show up because it depends on the color of your lips and as well as the acidity. It’s really long lasting even if you eat/drink. When it dries up it is like a liptint that stains your lips. You could also make it as a base on your favorite lipstick.What I don’t like about this though is the packaging, it is cheap looking, but doesn’t matter. I love it and would repurchase again and again. It is  great for everyday wear! 

7. What is your favorite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)

That would be the San San Waterproof Eyeliner Pen -P 85.00. I love this product and I even use this on my clients when I’m having a makeup gig. It comes in two shades Black and Brown. It has a sturdy  pointed felt tip that would allow you to make fine to thick lines on your lids. If you have shakey hands like I do, then this would be perfect for you.
