The packaging of the product is very light (but doesn't feel 'cheap light, light') and perfect for travel. It looks just like a normal pen that you'd use for school. The packaging has a black and gold color that looks luxurious in a way and the writing doesn't really rub off much. The product is shut air-tight with the snap on cap.

Based from my observations, the product dries pretty quickly once you applied it already. It would't budge, but if you rub it with your finger, the color will fade a little. Seeing that, the eyeliner itself isn't really Jet Black either.

The application is pretty easy. It's easy to work with it if you have experience with an eyeliner before but you might experience problems while winging it out because product might not dispense as much as you'd think when creating the sharp tip if you go from in to out.

On the bright side, though this eyeliner isn't really labeled as a 24hr wear / waterproof eyeliner... but I have already used it in multiple occasions that included sweating and walking around all day and I didn't stop for one second to re-apply product because you won't need it. It stayed with me for a whole day, (around 7-8 hours of wear) and it's perfectly the same. I got it for Php 340.00 (or a little bit over than that) from the SM Store. 

I would give the product a 4/5 star rating. 

MAC Spirit

Spirit is more of a brown-y toned lipstick with a hint of mauve. It may look toasted in the tube, but I swear to you, like any other lipsticks, the color may depend on your natural lip color. As for me, this color came out as a muted light brown shade that could mostly be partnered with many dark nude lip liners. (Which I'm all for!) It's also kind of pale, and not too va-va-voom; so you could definitely use it everyday.

GUERLAIN Champs Elysées

As for raspberry colors, my personal favorite would be this one. I feel like this color could be worn by many people whether if they use it on a day or at night, It could complement them really well. This lippie has a mix of plum, raspberry, pink and red. Unfortunately, this thing is a high-end lipstick, so I found a lot of dupes for the color on Milani's website. So check that out. :)

AVON Enduring Sable

I can't find this thing online, but I'm 100% sure that you could still buy this exact cool from an Avon representative. This one right here smells of gummy bears and other gummy-candies. I love this thing because it's enriched with vitamins that wouldn't dry your lips out. It is indeed glossy, has a lightly sheer color that you can definitely build up by adding more product on your lips. It is more on the orange shades of lipstick and it is also cheap—that's why anyone could try it.

MAC Rebel

Oh my. This is one of the most-talked-about lip colors from Mac and everybody has been searching dupes for this. (There are a lot!) But that wouldn't stop me from adding this here. Mac Rebel has been loved my many people even before. It truly complements every skin colors and can be a representation of a perfect autumn lip. It might scare you because it is too showy, (I admit that i was intimidated at first) but guyssssss!!!! This is a must-have. It's perfect for night outs and just going through the forest searching for branches to get the fire going. It can be worn on a day out, but I personally think that the color is just too showy for mornings. 

WET N WILD Lady and The Vamp

This is a sheer, light-weight product that also can be worn by anyone. It stains your lips but transfers easily as well... so you might re-apply this a lot if you like the real color to stay put. It's a very dark, violet shade that is infused with glitters. Completely moisturizing and completely worth the money.

I hope that you enjoyed this Top 5 post! I'm so excited to do more of these soon. I'm starting to get back on my blogging pace (I also hope that It will continue) and I'm excited to write and shoot things for you guys. Here's a little thing, though. We have our tests coming up that might result to a late post. But I will definitely try to get one in there for once haha!

Thank you for reading and I'll see you on the next post. Ciao!

Overall, I think that this was a very nice product. I think that I might prefer the other colors in Milani's line instead of this one. I also, personally don't think that this is a dupe for NARS Orgasm blush. I haven't actually tried the blush but judging from the photos, Luminoso is way more peachier than the Orgasm (which screams pink) to me.

That is all for today's post and I hope that you enjoyed reading through it. I have worked extra-hard into creating content for you guys. I shoot photos by myself (and I'm going back to Manual now! I want to relive what I learned before) and I also took care of the lighting in this post. As you can see, there's a trend going on in this post. It looks dreamy and princess-y because I placed the lighting somewhere else and I shot at night time. I also am the one who edits these and I'm so happy for what it had turn out to be. 

Thank you so much for reading! I'll see you soon!

1. The Girl With All The Gifts (M.R. Carey)

This is probably my very first anticipated book ever. I have been wondering about this book since I started my reading list. I was so stoked to see it on stands in my local bookstore and I immediately picked this book up. This is a Science Fiction novel set in an apocalyptic world full of zombies. (That is indeed, all I know about this novel haha!)

First of all, I liked that the author kept a reasonable amount of characters and the way the relationship between the reader and the characters grew is extremely superb! Carey made a very well-paced book and the manner of writing just takes my breath away.

The thing that I hate about it though, is how smart Caroline thinks and speaks. My fear (whilst reading this book) is to be left alone without a dictionary by my side and the ending. I wanted more out of it. It seems to be abruptly finished but the main context was still, amazing.

This follows a girl named Melanie along with 3 other people who was with her whilst surviving the apocalyptic universe. I don't really want to spoil much about this one, so I'm just going to leave it at that.

PS. I HATE THE CASTING OF THIS MOVIE!! HDSNXEUIF

I was thinking of Halle Berry as Justineau but heck, the people casted was oddly FAR FROM WHAT THE BOOK DESCRIBED THEM TO BE. I hope they change it. I really hope they do. lol. {4.5/5}

2. Girl Online (Z. Sugg & S. Curham)

1. Collect what you already know

File them up and skim through them!

2. List the things that you don't know

Its important to know what you don't know. It's basically a signal for development! Research on the things that you need to research and take down notes.

3. Ask questions

There are some things that you might not be able to understand in the internet and/or the teacher has different method on solving the problem (in math). Don't be afraid to approach teachers/other students whenever you don't understand things. They won't bite.

Approaching a teacher was one of my worst fears when I was still a kid. I literally think that they would shout at me for not listening in class(—but I do, listen. It's just I don't really understand the topic; that's all.) But it's actually the other way around! Teachers like questions. So get up from your sit, talk to the teacher and ace your test! :)



4. Ready your materials

You'll need a pen and all sorts of things in order to study. Highlighter, check!; Pen, check!; A pencil and eraser, check!; Calculator, check!— These things are simple. But they are fairly important. You can also get bright colored materials so that you won't get bored with studying! D-I-Y things ahead of time before studying :)

5. Create a reviewer

This will be your ultimate life-saver. I write important things (from my lecture notes, seat works, projects) down on a separate notebook and study that whenever I need to. Mobility at its finest. I usually go everywhere whenever I'm studying so, a notebook that has everything down will make things a lot more easier. If you're too lazy to write everything down, then just type things on MS Word, print it out and highlight important details. But if you have another way of studying, so then be it. You should pick your preferences for you to study effectively if I do say so myself. But if you need a new option, well then; there you go!

6. Re-read seat works, workbooks, quizzes and essays

The teacher will probably make up questions similar to the past ones, so study all the outputs that were given to you before.

7. Study in advance

Ugh. We all hate studying. But we need to study. This step is important. You wouldn't want to be the person who crams at 2 am because their tests are in a couple of hours.

Study hard in advanced, and study / skim when the date of the yet is finally nearing.



8. Stay inspired

You might have a crush and you want him to make him notice you; By being on top, he'll surely see you. (Effects may vary...lol!) But kidding aside, yes. Staying inspired / happy will make your study journey a bit more easier than you not having goals as a student.

For your crush to notice you isn't the only goal for you to study. You can think about your future, in order to ell your parents, so that teachers will be happy, so that you will be happy.

9. Stay Organized

A clean working space is the way to go. It makes you remember the things that you need to be doing rather than procrastinating all-day.

10. Be in a study-ready environment

If you prefer a cafe, or a quiet bedroom, its your choice to make. This will greatly affect your movement while studying, so choose wisely. :)

1. Wonder (R. J. Palacio)

+ + +

Let's check out the packaging first.. shall we?

 Hi lovelies! I'm back with a new review for you.

I have been seeing this around Lazada for quite some time now.. I have read multiple review about this and most of them aren't THAT GOOD. I felt a little intrigue so I knew that I need to find out for myself.

This "Foundation" is available in 4 shades. Fair, Light, Medium and Tan.

Its Claims & Ingredients:

As stated, it comes with "color beads" that allegedly "adjusts" to your shade.

It includes 1 oz. of product (28 g) and is pretty small but a good amount for its price range.

I picked up the shade "Medium" and tested the product on the back of my hand.

As you can see, it produces pearl beads which includes the color / shade inside when you pop it and it comes with an almost-clear liquid. I rubbed it in to see what happens.

It has glitter on it-but not too noticeable. To be honest, It never did anything on my skin except that It created a flawless base for a real foundation or any product the goes with it. The name itself can be misleading and I would strongly suggest that Wet 'N Wild should've changed its name into a "Tinted Primer" which has a semi-matte finish. It feels very light and silky (which lived up to one of its claims) 

You also wouldn't get an exact amount of products when you add it into your skin because the beads don't go with the white liquid for the most part (which is a total bummer) The smell isn't so nice.. but you wouldn't smell it all over your face when you apply it on. It doesn't match to your skin-or it really did because I couldn't see anything. (Oh no... this is becoming a rant) 

I wouldn't recommend this to any of you out there. I love Wet 'N Wild's lipsticks and some of their eyeshadows and It made me kind of not like it anymore because of this one. I have read that people had bumped into problems with this product (ex. itchiness, it stings) Fortunately, none of those happened to my face soooo yeah.

I would rate this product a 3 out of 5. You might think that I should've given less, but It's a really good drugstore primer so that's a plus.

*****

I hope that my review helped and I am looking forward to a bunch of new opportunities this summer time :) Our classes will end in 2 days and I'm excited about it. (But I'm going to miss my classmates so much that I feel like leaving them will hurt me so bad...) But here's to great end!
