REVIEW: Ever Bilena Dip Liner

All About JC Jants

Yes! I'm a super fan of liquid liner. I've been using liquid liner like everyday. Every time I go out, I never ever forget to wear my liquid liner. Liquid liner will never ever be overrated. Liquid liner is one of the most most important make up that you must have.. My first ever liquid liner is the ever bilena dip liner. And I never get wrong with this liquid liner. It is one of my all time favorite liquid liner. It is my favorite because it is cheap/affordable. And there's not much make up products that are available here in our place. In my experience with different brands, the ever bilena liquid liner soothes me best.


 So, this is the packaging of the Ever Bilena Dip liner. For me its amazing and easy to apply.







Net wt. 7ml 
Price: P150



Lets start applying the eyeliner. :)


So, I place moisturizer in my other eye and in my other is without moisturizer because I want to test the liquid liner if it will sooth all types of skin: which is oily skin and dry skin. So i have super dry skin and the best way to do that is to apply moisturizer.



--------------------------------------After how many hours--------------------------------------



                 This is what happen after how many hours of exposing through super hot weather.


As you can see, the eyes that have moisturizer smudge out which is bad and the eye that doesn't have moisturizer stays the same.








The eye that I didn't put moisturizer is amazing. Its still the same. The liquid liner didn't move. 


In closer look, the liquid liner just vanish. I look like a raccoon, like I was punch, i have black eye. I don't like it when a liquid liner looks like this. 

LIKES:

easy to apply
affordable
good for dry skin
very black ( some liquid liner is not so black)
packaging is excellent



DISLIKES:

doesn't last all day
not good for very oily skin
smudges
odor is a bit strong


CONCLUSION:

I do recommend this liquid liner. It is amazing. For oily skin, i suggest to set your face with loose powder.

Make-up Essential for beginners...:)

All About JC Jants

Yea, so its been an issue for me whether what is really really my make up essentials. What I must have in my make up kit, if I'm on really tight budget? What make up I really need?

 There's a lot of make up products out there. So it is really really hard to choose if what make up you really need for everyday look. Of course, there are liquid foundations, concealers, mascara, bronzers, blush, lipsticks, eye shadows, pencil liner, highlighter, liquid liner and etc. So I've been thinking about what make up product that I can't live without. Its super hard to choose because I love make up.


If you are on really tight budget and want to look fabulous. Then you must evaluate what you like, what you love, and just go with it.

There are like a lot of make up product that I will die just to have it but After how many hours of evaluating, my MUST HAVE make up essentials:

1). FOUNDATION/ BB CREAM:

                     I can't live without foundation or BB cream. You see I don't have the most amazing skin. And I'm very insecure with my face, so I always want my face to look flawless. Foundation/ BB cream helps cover my flaws.





2). LIQUID LINER:

             I love liquid eye liner to death. It saves my life. Liquid liner makes my eyes pop, smaller, look like an anime. I'm not impress with gel liner for some reason. I guess it is because it dries out easily and I have oily skin so it tends to smudge which I hate. At the end of the day I look like I've been punch or I have black eye which is not good at all. And it also makes my eye bags look very visible. So, I'm not a fan of gel liner.
 





3). CONCEALER
   
          If I can't live without my foundation then I also can't live without my concealer. Concealer have always been my best friend for the past years. I always always have to have a concealer in my make up kit. Concealer for me is a miracle make up product ever. It makes my imperfections vanish. I super love concealer.




4). LIP TINT

        Yes, I can't live without my lip tint. It is very important to me. In my last make up review (nichido lipstick) I said that I'm not a fan of lip stick. Yes I'm not a fan of lipstick, maybe because I haven't tried high ends lipstick or maybe I'm just not comfortable wearing lipstick. Here in our place, make up is a very big deal for them I just don't know why. If your wearing make up then they stare at you and start talking about you which is so weird, it is very uncomfortable.




     I love lip tint because it looks very natural and unlike lipstick it is not sticky. One more thing why I love lip tint, is because you can also use it as your blush which is amazing. That's the reason why I didn't include blush in my list of make up essentials.



               There are lot of products (cosmetics) in the world and not all are affordable. So if youre beginner or just starting to collect make up for your make up kit then always make sure that you have all the products listed. There are high ends brands and also drugstore brands for all this make up products, they are all your choice. So don't forget that looking your best doesn't have to be expensive. Till next time. :)

Review: Nichido High Definition Lipstick

All About JC Jants


I'm not really a fan of lipsticks because I don't like the feel of it. It feels so sticky in my lips. But when I came across the NICHIDO High Definition lipstick, I said to myself lets give it a try. They have 8 shades in their collection which are: glam red, tropical coral, love potion, fetish pink, pretty tulip, rouge blossom, dolly pink and passion fruit. I've been collecting make up for my make up box and lip stick is one of the make up that must be available in your make up box. I'm just planning to buy one just to try it out but then I love the 2 shades which is the Fetish Pink and the glam red, so I decided to buy the 2 of them. This lipstick is affordable, I bought this for P198 which is a very good price for a HD lipstick. I'm looking for nude lipstick in the same brand but unluckily they don't have one. :(


 The lipstick looks like this. The packaging for me is okay. If i'm gonna rate this 1-10, it will be 7/10. I just don't like the print around the packaging. It looks like a lipstick for kids but it doesn't really matter, the product really do matter. The packaging is made of molded plastic. Net wt. 4grams.





I love that it have a removable lip gloss that is in the end of the lip stick. So, if you like extra gloss then you can use that. In my case, I don't like the feeling of stickiness in my lips. It feels very uncomfortable. 




So here's a swatch. It is very pigmented as you can see. Very creamy as well. The smell is like regular lipstick. I really don't like the smell of lipstick, I just don't know why. 


For the fun part. Let's try this out. :)

This is my first application. 


I really don't know why this happen. Maybe I put a lot of product in my lips or its just like this. NO IDEA! As I said I'm not a fan of lipstick. 

After a few minutes, this is what happen.


I hate this. As you can see inside the circle, there are lumps, lines whatever that is. I don't like this at all. It accentuates the crack of my lips. It makes the line of my lips VISIBLE. 


After doing that, this is what my lips look like.


Pretty good. There's lipstick still in my lips which is great. 

So, my favorite the red lipstick. YEY! GLAM RED.


I love this color. It doesn't show my crack or lines, its not very visible unlike the fetish pink. 


So I did the same thing earlier, to see what happen after doing this.


And this is what happen. AMAZING! Its just like nothing happen. :)


So I just go a little bit further, and I try to drink water. To test the lipstick. 



And this is my lips after drinking water. 


It still the same. :) I like it. 




---------------------------after approximately 3 hours-------------------------------


This is my lips after 3 hours. Ofcourse, I eat and drink. Here in our place its super super hot. So also consider the weather. I don't know if it really do matters but just consider the weather. LOL






I don't like this. Just after 3 hours this is what happen to my lips. So you always always need to re touch every 2 hours which is what I don't like. I don't like the idea of going to the rest room just to re touch my lip stick because it looks awful. 

LIKES:

Long lasting, it stays on my lips even though I drink water. Its like a tattoo. It still stays in your lips after drinking water . Very pigmented. Very creamy. It have a lip gloss that goes with the lipstick. Its like a lipstick and lip gloss in the same time. ALL IN ONE. :) I love the shades, very elegant. Very affordable. Local brand which means its made here in the Philippines.

DISLIKES:
There are stains of lipstick in your lips even though you already wash it off. I don't like the smell. I don't like the packaging because it is in plastic (not a big deal though). It accentuates my crack and lines upon wearing the fetish pink but when you wear the bold color like the glam red its not that visible. 


CONCLUSION:
 Honestly speaking I love the lipstick but I just don't like that it accentuates my lines and cracks. The lipstick stays on my lines, that I really don't like about this lipstick. The product is very pigmented, so a little goes a long way. Will I buy this product again? Maybe yes or maybe no, I'm not decided yet but if I'm gonna buy this lipstick again then it will be the Glam red.  
You can still give it a try. This product is okay. If I'm gonna rate this product, then it will be 7/10.



Thanks. Have a wonderful day ahead. :) 
God Bless..

First Impression: Ben Nye 5 stack Neutralizer Concealer

All About JC Jants


Holla Dreamers,

It's been a while (as usual) since I last blog. As usual I've been super busy lately in school. Don't worry I've been collecting lots of beauty product to review for you guys. So stay tune for that. Because school is fast approaching, I cannot promise to do a blog every other day so I decided to do a Blog every Friday. So let's get started with my review. :)

In these blog I'm going to review the Ben Nye 5 stack concealer or also known as the Ben Nye Neutralizer Stack in NT-2. Concealer is a must have beauty product in your make up kit. Finding the concealer that suits you is really really hard. There are lots of brands that have concealer but not all products can cover your imperfections and that's the truth. I'm on the search of the best concealer that can cover my dark circles and other imperfections that is also affordable. But here in our place, we don't have lots of products to choose from. So all I do this search online.



Product Description: ( http://www.anniescostumes.com/neutralizer-makeup-stack.html)

The Ben Nye Neutralizer 5 Stack concealer consist of the 5 most popular Ben Nye Neutralizer and concealer. This concealer is super convenient to bring for it is in a stackable make up cups. . The concealer includes Mellow Yellow shades that can cover redness, and other concealer that can erase and disguise the appearance of blemishes and skin imperfections for flawless, long lasting coverage. Highly pigmented means great cover and long lasting product.

Shades:
CC-1 --- Coverette ultra Fair
MY-1---Mellow Yellow Fair
MY-2---Mellow Yellow Normal
NB-3---Blue Neutralizer NO.3
NT-2--- Tattoo Cover NO. 2



                         




    This is the Ben Nye Neutralizer Concealer.  The packaging is a plastic pot container. Net weight of this product is 8.5 grams. AMAZING!














       It contains 5 pot in one stack concealer..:) Great deal.



     









 Contains 5  best selling concealer of Ben Nye which is the Mellow yellow, Mellow Orange and etc..









 Here's a swatch of the concealer. :)
So I'm using the darkest shade to cover my dark circles and after I blend the other concealer that is 2-3 shades lighter than my skin tone.














----------------------------------FOR THE SCARY PART-------------------------------


 FOR DARK CIRCLES:

BEFORE: This is my eyes without the concealer on. Pretty scary. I KNOW RIGHT! :) I have pretty bad dark circles.







AFTER: As you can see, my dark circles are covered. YEY! I'm so loving this concealer. This will be my favorite concealer as of this moment. LOL!





FOR REDNESS:



BEFORE:
My nose area is the most prone area to get really really red. :(











AFTER: The redness around my nose are GONE! YEY! lets party! JOKE haha.. I'm so happy. :) I don't know if you can see, but it cake up a little bit because I actually place lot of product. I just damp my brush and I didn't notice that I place to much. MY BAD! :( So yea, learn from my mistake..:(  Don't put lot of product when using this concealer. It is super pigmented, and when a product is highly pigmented it tend to cake up when applying to much. Looking cake-y is a big NO NO. So avoid that. :)





LIKES:
It is not bulky compared to other concealer brands. The coverage is highly pigmented so a little bit goes a long way (AMAZING). :) The odor is okay not too strong. The packaging is at its best. I love the packaging of this product very elegant looking but I think the packaging is a plastic type of container ( not a glass) which is not a big deal for me. The container is full of concealer which is perfect. I will not run out of concealer anytime soon. LOL. It really covers my dark circles, red spots and other imperfections.


DISLIKES:
When you apply lots product or when you happen to apply lots of product it will look super cakey. Its very dry so when you apply this concealer you must always always apply moisturizer. It doesn't glide smoothly (as I said earlier it is super dry).




Conclusion:
This concealer is a little bit expensive (P1650) but then the product is amazing. It have everything you need for a concealer. Very pigmented, Covers my imperfections. I love it. Will I buy this product again? DEFINITELY! I do recommend this concealer to anyone who are looking for great concealer. You must really try this out. This concealer is a must have in your make up kit/ beauty box.



NOTE: THIS MAKE UP REVIEW IS MY OPINION ONLY.  We have different skin types so it may vary maybe a little bit.
