Careline Best Brow Liner Review

Sep 21, 2018


Kilay is life as they say but before anything else, we need to find the perfect eyebrow product so that we can achieve our goal kilay/eyebrow.

I've been sticking on my Anastasia Pomade for a year, but this Careline Best Brow Liner catches my attention from the name itself. Aside from it is from my favorite drugstore brand here in the Philippines, I read numerous of reviews about how good it is compared to high-end products.


Careline Best Brow Liner is a Creamy pencil lets you effortlessly create fuller-looking brows; fine tip allows perfectly defined eyebrows; lightweight and easy-to-hold for perfect control; creates light strokes that mimics the look of real hair; spoolie brush on other end helps blend on color and groom strands (source: BeautyMNL)

Careline Best Brow Liner has two shades, Taupe and Brunette. I bought the shade Taupe. It has a spoolie/brush on the other side and a retractable pencil inside. Best Brow tip is slanted and kind of wide which feels uncomfortable for me at first but I got used to it. The product is somewhat powdery while applying. It blends easily with the brush on it but I have love and hate relationship on the brush/spoolie because it falls off my eyebrow hair.. 

It is also good if you're oily like me! It stays all day =). I also find it easy to use especially when I'm in a hurry or when I feel like achieving a natural eyebrow. I hope that Careline will release more shade of this Best Brow Liner or a pomade brow product.

Deborah Milano 5 in 1 BB Cream Review

Sep 4, 2018

If you found the perfect everyday foundation for you, I am jealous. Because until now, I'm still struggling with finding the perfect foundation that suits on my skin.

All-in-one skin perfector foundation delivers five times more performance: smoothes and primes skin. Conceals and minimises imperfections. Evens out skin tone. Moisturises and nourishes skin. Protects against UV radiation and pollution. Buildable coverage without ever looking “cakey”: one application for a more natural look, two for more visible coverage. SPF20 for effective protection against photo-ageing. Hypoallergenic*, with a delicate violet scent. (source: Deborah Milano)
It has 4 shades and I got the shade of Apricot. My face is combination, oily but feels dry at the same time. The BB cream consists of 30ml in a black plastic tube.

As you can see in the pictures above, This does not cover my dark areas especially my eyebags area.I applied it using my fingers, I even use coty airspun loose powder to set it (lol i set it). I noticed that it feels sticky upon applying but it is easy to blend. I also observe that my face become more oily after minutes of application. It is lightweight, has a light coverage, dewy finish and this can only last for not more than 3 hours. I tried to use this on the Humid weather and also in air-conditioned room for a couple of hours but it only gives the same result.

So, that's my experience with this. I don't know how this will work on other skin types. I just think this will works better on dry faces.

I used Castor oil to grow my eyebrows for 7days

Jul 23, 2018

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis). The common name "castor oil", from which the plant gets its name, probably comes from its use as a replacement for castoreum, a perfume base made from the dried perineal glands of the beaver (castor in Latin) source: Wikipedia

Where to buy matching Outfits?

Jul 19, 2018

A few days ago, I saw a mom and daughter twinning outfit. It's not my first time seeing twinning outfit, but it comes on my mind if it is customized? Did the mother buy the fabric and look for the sewer? Where she got the dress design? if it is. Aaahh. it takes a lot of time (at least for me! hehe). But if you're a mother and wanted to have matching family outfits, I'll help you on that without worrying about what I mentioned.

5 Tips for taking care of your Hair

May 21, 2018

The hair can be one of the most stubborn and unruly parts of the body, right? Take a look at it a few hours after spending time to put it together and it may look as if it never received any attention before. It may just make you wonder what the whole point of the hair care is. Well, you can’t stop taking care of your hair. After all, we all love our hair. Here are some tips to help with your hair care;


1. When washing your hair
There is a wrong way to do just about anything, and hair washing is not excluded.

Oil your hair before washing it.
Rubbing your hair with coconut oil, almond oil or olive oil an hour before the wash helps pre-condition the hair
Use cool or lukewarm water
Hot water is harmful and damaging to your hair because it dehydrates the hair and makes it split. Using lukewarm or cool water to wash the hair closes the hair cuticles and retains the moisture in the hair
Dilute the shampoo 
You probably feel the more the shampoo, the better. No! Shampoo rids the hair of its natural oils, so diluting it in little water is beneficial to your hair.
Do not wash your hair every day
You increase the loss of the natural oils in your hair and make the hair break if you do.


2. When drying your hair
Now that you’re done washing, it’s time to dry the hair.
Use a micro-fiber towel to pre-dry your hair as soon as you are done washing the hair
Air-dry the hair. As much as possible, avoid blow-drying the hair because the heat from the blow-dryer can cause damage
If you decide to blow-dry the hairs, ensure you do so only when the hair is almost dry to reduce the heat damage and close up the hair cuticles

3. When heat-styling your hair
When you heat-style your hair, ensure you use the proper tools that will provide a balance between the amount of heat, ease of use, efficiency, and quality. My tool of choice is a curling iron. You can limit the hair-styling to once or twice a week for optimum hair care. Also, make sure you apply a heat protectant to your hair before heat-styling it to function as the barrier between the heat and your hair. 

4. When going to bed
For most, if not all, of us, the hair gets lots of attention during the day, but at night is left to ruin. 
Tie it up loosely before hitting the hay
A soft hair bandanna or scarf is good for tying your hair. Ponytails and bums pull the hair at night and lead to breakage
Use a silk pillowcase
Cotton pillowcases can be abrasive to the hair and make it frizz when you are asleep. You can wrap a silk scarf around your hair too instead of the silk pillowcase.

5. Foods that help
For the most part, our hair care depends on the kind of food we eat. Eggs, citrus fruits, dry fruits and nuts, green leafy vegetables, carrot, avocado and whole grains are great for your hair.
