I had a late night last night – and a very early morning today. The result is my eyes are itching, dry, red, and irritated.
Granted, it’s not all the fault of my crazy schedule, there’s tons of factors involved. But still,“There’s no hiding unhealthy eyes,” says Dr. Elise Brisco.
Luckily, my eyes have hope of being beautiful again! Dr. Brisco offered some fabulous tips to keeping our eyes happy and healthy. (Even if the rest of us isn’t.
Uncomfortable, dry, irritated eyes occur when there are not enough tears, and can happen because of

Many of my liners go on looking good- not as many stay looking good.
Lorac Front of the Line is one of the good ones.
This is a great long-wearing liquid liner that does not smudge even when I enact my lovely habit of rubbing my eyes and whining about the never ending day – it also is really easy to make straight lines with, without any sloppy misses.
I’m a fan of the flexible tip — that helps with control of stroke – unlike the brush I am used to that always results in serious malfunction. I’m a fine-line sort of girl, …read more

Shiseido
The Skincare Eye Moisture Recharge
Shiseido Eye Moisture Recharge hydrates the delicate area around the eye and helps skin retain moisture all day long, which protects from damage caused by dryness. It improves fine lines and retexturizes skin to create smooth, resilient eyes, while minimizing the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, for more youthful-looking smoothness and vitality.
Is it just me or do all ladies check the “results” of whatever skincare product they apply on their skin everyday? I guess it’s me being impatient again. Heh. But I do like to see how my skin …read more

Avon Solutions
Advanced Eye Perfector
Eliminates undereye puffiness; wakes up weary eyes.
Last Saturday, Phoebe graciously handed over a sample pot of the Advanced Eye Perfector from Avon Solutions. I was quite thrilled cuz I now get to try and do something about my puffy eyes. This often happens when I’ve been too tired, lacked sleep or have been looking at the laptop’s monitor for too long. Yes. I apologise for abusing my eyes like this. Another reason may just be that I’m showing signs of aging. Egad.
Ah, well. This just means that I need to take better care of my skin and …read more

I’ve been contemplating on buying myself a gel liner for quite a while now, simply to add variety of looks to my makeup application techniques. I’ve always used shadows and eye pencils for lines. Wouldn’t it be a great idea to try something different?
I’ve put off using gel liners cuz I find them too tiresome to put on but seeing how Sophie demonstrated how she applied it on someone, created a want in me. Reason for applying liners, gel or otherwise, is to put emphasis on the eyes. They bring out the eyes, adds shape and definition. Imagine, I spend …read more

Get the vibrant color of a powder…without the mess. Just swivel up, glide on and go! Easy twist-up stick.
My curiosity with my new stick eye makeup, it lead me to discover Avon’s first powder eyeshdow in a stick. Cool. I never really thought sticks are effective mediums for eye shadows. Though, when I did try to apply the one that I have, it easily glided over the skin on my hand.
Apart from eye liners, the only time I encountered sticks are the lip pencils, which you can use to define and shape lips and some can be used like the …read more

And I thought I’ve had my share of free beauty loot for the holiday season! I’m quite happy with my new brush set and mineral makeup samples but Roanne Vista of Vanity Vibe surprised me with a cool new makeup that I can experiment with.
It’s Fashion 21 Stick Eyeshadow/Liner, Lotus. I don’t normally use sticks for eye makeup except for my pencil eye liner AND I don’t usually wear pink except for blush. So, this practically dares me to try something totally new. Forcing me out of my comfort zone, eh?
I’ll try my best to document one of my …read more
