Mini Haul: Milani, Charm, EOS all from DIGITAL TRAINCASE; Elianto eyeshadows and SAVVY blush brush set from SUESH

Total wallet damage: Php 1,950.00 about USD $46 inclusive of  shipping fee
I really wanted to go to Phil Cosmetics Expo this Friday morning at  SM Megamall. To spot digital traincase and dollface at the said event, but unfortunately, I don’t have someone to go with. L My hubby is pretty busy with his work. So I decided to shop online. And I’ve come up ordering these products.  YEY! I already received them this afternoon(Saturday) so I made up my first ever HAUL!


Charm Luxe: Flat top Kabuki Brush
After reading great reviews about this brush I planned to purchase one since I don’t have any flat top brush to apply my foundation. And yes! Beauty & Minerals Charm brushes are sooooo amazing! Bought this brush from Digital Traincase for only Php600.00. Not bad for a very nice flat top brush! It was my first flat top brush and I’m soooooooo loving it baby! I have no regrets buying this brush. Aside from being affordable, the bristle quality is super duper soft and it gives an air-brush finished in applying your foundation (the part that I actually liked) and also it is easy to hold because of it’s long and thick handle, Plus it’s PINK! 





MILANI: 
Liquif’EYE Metallic Eyeliner Pencil in Black


Plus she also made a great review about this eyeliner which made me think to give it a try! Well girls, if you have greasy eyelids this product may not work for you because it is really a smudge-a-mania eyeliner pencil which is best for smokey eye look.  It is so creamy and it is very pigmented you can actually use it as an eyeshadow. I think this eyeliner will work even better when you apply your eyelid primer or any eyeshadow base or cream before applying the liner. Though it is said that is it a metallic eyeliner pencil for me it doesn’t look like a metallic one. I really don’t like having that shimmery effect in my eyeliners. But when I watched xteeners video and review it made me realized that it is not actually a metallic liner. I’ve tried nyx eyeliner pencil in black but for me this works really well compare to nyx.  And yea it’s a bit pricey compare to nyx, this eyeliner costs me Php350.00 and I love it! 

EOS Lipbalm: in summer fruit


Aside from the cute packaging and being so handy, I have this remedy of having chapped lips. And It doesn’t look good when you apply your lipgloss, lipcream or lipstick with that kind of lips. YAY! So I decide to buy a good lipbalm. Before I made my mind to give this a try,  I’ve search reviews about this lipbalm and a lot of it was saying “it’s a must have in your kit” And gladly, I  purchased one because it is really amazing. I love the scent, it has this fruity and refreshing scent and it actually smells like skittles! YUMMY! I don’t want to eat my lipbalm though. LOL! And it has shea butter and vitamin E that really gives the moisture in your lips. I will definitely buy one again. Next in my list is the EOS lipblam in honeysuckle honeydew. I lovooooe it  baby! 


ELIANTO Colour Studio Eyeshadow: in Lilac and Hot Pink

What I love about these eyeshadows: they’re soooo pigmented. My friend bought this from Bangkok and she gave it to me as her “pasalubong” Thanks Margaux! Love the eyeshadows babe! Plus she also gave me a Roxy ID lace. Lovely! J This eyeshadow gives a refined , smooth, fresh look and it is long lasting throughout the day. It has an excellent smooth texture and it is blendable with other palettes. I definitely have to buy Elianto refill palettes for these lovely eyeshadows. 


           SAVVY blush brush set     
by Beauty Essentials from SUESH


Well about this brush set, other than being affordable it has 6 brush heads in 3pc handles.  Inclusion of Powder brush, Angled Blush/ Contour brush, Foundation brush, Small Concealer brush, Large Eyeshadow brush, Angled Contour Eyeshadow brush and It comes in a clear pouch.For me it is not a must have brush set, it was a sort of “OK” type brush set. I love the foundation brush in this set also the small concealer brush it really helps me a lot in applying my foundation and concealer.  Since it is made of synthetic hairs it was easy to apply liquid foundation and cream concealers with those brushes. The powder and angled contour/blush brush has soft bristles of hairs but sometimes hairs fall out easily (which I expect because it is a low end brush set) The eyeshadow brushes gives me an “itchy” feeling whenever i ‘m applying my eyeshadow.  But so far, it works well for me. 

Sooo there you go girls! I hope this blog really help you think what to purchase for your “kikay kits”. Visit Digital Traincase, Beauty & Minerals and Suesh to acquire this kind of items. Till my next haul.  J


Thanks again to DIGITAL TRAINCASE, BEAUTY & MINERALS, SUESH and to miss SOL for being so friendly. I’m soooo loving my new babies. J
