EyELiNeRs***


Eyeliner is a must for me, i really can't leave home without this on my kit. This completes my entire eye look everyday in school or wherever i'll be going. Without these my eyes will be as dead as the rock (lols). So here are my eyeliners!

Nichido Black Liquid Eyeliner
Ever Bilena Black Eyeliner
Nichido Gorgeous Eyes in Pink Diamond
Ever Bilena Brown Eyeliner

2. Ever Bilena black eyeliner

4. Ever Bilena brown eyeliner
  • creates a natural wide-eyed look
  • creates sharp edges if used properly
  • color shows in just a swipe
  • easy to remove if mistakes happen
Dislikes:
1. Nichido black eyeliner
  • spills if not tightly covered
  • not easy to rub off if mistakes take place
  • dries up easily if not covered well
2. Ever Bilena black eyeliner
  • draws thicker lines if not sharpened well
  • very hard to sharpen due to its tendency to be creamy if exposed to hot temperature
  • easily smudges on the eyes
3. Nichido Gorgeous Eyes in pink diamond
  • does not give the best of its color if not warmed by rubbing it at the back of your hand.
  • the cover of its smudger easily comes off
4. Ever Bilena brown eyeliner
  • draws thicker lines if not sharpened well
  • very hard to sharpen due to its tendency to be creamy if exposed to hot temperature
  • easily smudges on the eyes
Tips:
  • if choosing the best eyeliner is your problem, here's a tip, hold the chosen eyeliner against the back your hand and swipe the eyeliner slowly without any pressure at all. If the color shows up well though its swiped with no pressure, then thats good, if the color appears to be faded, then no its not good!
  • before going to bed, place your eyeliners (pencil/pastel not liquid or gel) at the freezer of your refrigerator, in this way your eyeliners will be hardened by tomorrow but will still give its best color.
  • if you want to keep your liquid eyeliners on your kikay kit, remember always to cover them tightly to prevent spills and wastage. Same with you pencil/pastel eyeliners as they tend to draw doodles on your bag (like what happened to mine hehehe).


NiChiDo LiP BaLm***


Another lip product that i own is my Nichido Lip Balm.


I use this lippie everytime i go out for beach of pool party because my lips need protection from cracking up due to the temperature that we have. This lip balm is also an essential as it is my base for my lips everytime i wear lipstick and lipgloss. Another point for addiction factor is that this lippie has a flavor, but i got the orange one, and i can't remember the other flavors there. hehehe.

I'm not really a fan of lip glosses, lipsticks or anything that deals with lips, but this one is an exemption. (Read why)
Presenting my L.A. Color Moisturizing "Glossy Lips" Lip Gloss!



This is the only lip product that you will find if you search my kikay kit! I am in love with this lippie simply because this brings out the best of my lips. It moisturizes my lips whenever it cracks due to the temperature.

MiLaNi TiNtEd MoIsTuRiZeR***


Before i go to school, i make sure that my face is moisturized and foundation ready. But there seems to be a problem, i have limited time to apply these. The solution, my new Milani Tinted Moisturizer.



I bought this at ebay from a friend who sells her items there. Okay, i have to admit though that this product caught my attention because of its gold letters on the cute tube, its just too elegant to resist, i mean, it yells "PLEASE ADOPT ME" to me. After i read the descriptions and details about this product, i knew it would be my solution for maximizing time, i mean, i don't need to be late just because I'm still at home putting up make-up on my face. This product is
two-in-one for me, i can put on my moisturizer and foundation in just one application!



From the Back of the Bottle:
Perfect for all skin types, Milani Tinted Moisturizer is an elegant moisturizer that gives a natural look with a hint of sheer illuminating color. Its lightweight formula moisturizes the skin while adding a healthy glow to your complexion. Leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth all day.

Directions for use:
  • Apply to clean skin using your clean fingertips evenly. Layer for additional coverage.
  • Use your favorite foundation brush to spread the product evenly on your face.
Likes:
  • Moisturizes my skin all day
  • minimizes the time i have for make-up application
  • easily adapts to my skin-tone
  • contains Vitamins A,C, and E
  • has Green Tea Extracts
  • Very affordable
  • can be used as a base for make-up
  • packaging is good (housed in a semi-gold tube)
  • logo and descriptions in the bottle are printed in gold
Dislikes:
  • not available locally (only available through ebay)
  • product spills if cap isn't closed tightly
  • the logo fades (its super cute pah naman)
Tips:
  • always remember to tightly cover the cap of the tube as it can spill all over your make-up bag.
  • since you can only get this via ebay, you won't get the chance to test this on your skin, so here is my tip: choose the shade which is closer to your foundation, after all it won't make your skin gray because its really a moisturizer not a foundation, but its tinted though.
  • its more easy to use your fingertips than your brush, but if your a neat-freak (like me), why not use your foundation brush right? hehehe

CaNoN 1000d Dslr CaMeRa***


Indeed a very happy day for a photo enthusiast like me! This day my mom just bought me a Canon 1000d dslr camera!

(picture taken from google, but the camera precisely looks like this one)

Likes:
  • everything in this baby is a pure love!
Dislikes:
  • nothing to hate at all! hahaha! whats not to love?
I am very happy with how this thing works. It can turn pictures into magic! imagine a picture that you take with your phone or with your digital camera, this thing is obviously more than that! being a blogger, I obliged myself to have this camera, i mean, with a single thing that you take with this camera, you can compare it with pictures in a magazine! Say how cool is that?
So you better get a camera of this kind. As they say, "a picture says a thousand words".
So from now on, you'll get clearer photos from this blog! Yehey!
