I am very excited to share this post!

Do you have any favorite products from local brand?

At an early age, I'm already obsessed with makeup and as time goes by, my love for them grows bigger. 

I can still remember my struggle to save money in order to buy cosmetics,books (I'm a bookworm as well) and clothes. My parents taught us to save money if we want to splurge on something aside from the basic needs they provide. And it really works for all of us, especially now that we're grown-ups. 

To be honest, I haven't explore local brand though I tried some before. Then lately, I've been watching some videos online (of my favorite vloggers) about their local product must have. With that, it gave me the boost that I need to start my way knowing local brand. But still hesitant. 

With a nervous smile on my face, I approached the saleslady on Ever Bilena stall in department store. I tend to talk with them since they'll help you learn more abot the products they offer. There's one thing you have to remind yourself whenever you talk to saleslady; prepare yourself for a lot of questions. 

Here are the products I got from Ever Bilena. 

I also bought some from Maybelline since I'm running out of make-up remover and mascara. Plus the Nichido Precise Liner is eye catching since its 50% off!

There are other products I'd like to try as well. However, I'm on a limited budget since I'm (f)unemployed. Ha-ha! Still, I can get my hands on those products soon. 

By the way, I'll do the review next time and please keep an eye on it. 

Tell me your favorite local brand products on comment section!

It's the start of the rainy season and we have to do our best in keeping our "art" in place. 

I've mentioned before that I started paying attention to my brows just three months ago. It's with a help of a friend, of course! And as day pased by, I'm learning. Though, I'm still not an expert since it really takes a lot of time to master the #WowBrows technique that some of you have been slaying.

Since I'm always on the go, I want to have the on-fleek look for my eyebrow that can also withstand the ever "reliable weather" in the Philippines. Tons of tutorials have given me confusion so I did the best thing a beauty enthusiast can rely on -- suggestions from makeup artist. 

I visited several beauty stores to get some advice (SM Beauty section, Benefit, Watsons, MAC, NYX) However, some staffs are not friendly. One staff from Benefit Megamall scanned me from head to toe with scrutinizing look and I was like, "hello, bitch! I can afford your products!" (Just in my mind) No worries, I'm not in the mood to bitch around so I walked out and head to the next destination. MAC is jam-packed, as usual. SM Beauty section is full of sales lady who did nothing but gossip. Watsons is too crowded (shelves are everywhere) and mind you, it was Wednesday. Goodness gracious! Sinong magsasabi na walang pera ang mga Pinoy? Good thing, NYX Megamall doesn't have any clients so I approached one MUA for assistance (Hi, Jem! Thanks a bunch for the help!) Lucky enough, he answered and explain everything to me (which I already know) with patience and suggested to try BROW POWDER to achieve my goals. He even showed me how to do my brows and I am crossing my finger that it'll look good when I try it at home. I went home happy and satisfied!

NYX offers wide variety of shades:
