3 Mechanicals & A Brush… Which Liner Are You?

It has been a while since I last reviewed some eyeliners, and it seems this time round I have accumulated a few mechanical liners, so I thought I’d put them together for a comparative review. Mechanical pencils are nice because I’m too lazy to bother with sharpening. And for some mysterious reason, all my pencils […]

Much Ado About The Hourglass Modernist Infinity Eyeshadow Palette

I don’t remember if there was ever an eyeshadow palette (or any piece of makeup) that I had lusted after so much, and that had been the subject of such diverging views. But after staying up late trying to order it and failing (thanks a lot, Barney’s!), and then waiting with abated breath for it […]

Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation

If ever there was a foundation that has been the center of much controversy, it is the Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation. “Consider Immaculate the miracle foundation for oily skin. This breakthrough liquid to powder formula absorbs oil, camouflages imperfections, and delivers a long-lasting velvet matte finish—without the need for touch-ups.” This is not a […]

Let’s talk blushes: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes!

Who hasn’t seen one of these Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes yet?! One must have tried very hard, put on the Sensory Deprivator 5000 or something, to have missed one of these beauties that are being flaunted left, right, and center.   But what exactly is the big deal really? I mean, apart from PREEETTY?! The […]

The Current Reigning Champion of my Primer Battles

I was recently reminded (again) that I have yet to produce a sequel to my Battle of the Primers mini-“series” (er-hmm!). The truth was, I kind of lost interest in putting my poor face to the silicon-or-not test. And then, of course, life took on a different dimension when I finally got my hands on […]

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette was part of a large collective Sephora haul last October, and was soldout almost right after I picked it up. I procrastinated on this review because I was very much on the fence on this product, and as all the rave reviews came flooding in, I was even more torn. […]

Hourglass Visionaire Eyeshadow Duo: Suede & Prism

After having had a taste of Hourglass Visionaire Eyeshadow Duos (first reviewed here), I had to get my greedy fingers on Sarah’s other 2 covetables – Suede and Prism. Of course, Sarah being the sweetheart she is, gladly accommodated me! Thank you my love!! There is really no way to fault any of these duos […]

Hourglass Visionaire Eyeshadow Duo in Dune & Exhibition

I’ve been really enjoying swapping a few makeup items with a couple of sweet make-up lovers lately. The point of the exercise was so that we all get to experience for ourselves some highly coveted items that are not easily accessible locally. But damnit, I don’t know how this is supposed to help me save […]

Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Creme Lipstick in Nocturnal

Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipsticks have been much raved about since their launch in 2010. This is by no means a new product, but it is my first foray into the brand. The Femme Rouge Velvet Crème lipsticks boasts a hydrating formula with long-lasting shine. They contain Vitamin E to condition and treat lips, […]
