Issy Eyeshadow and Concealer Base

I’m not much of an eyelid primer user, since the eyeshadows I have on heavy rotation pretty much wear well even without assistance. But because I also want to get more use out of my less pigmented and/or creasy eyeshadow palettes, I sprang for the Issy Eyeshadow and Concealer Base (P199 / 27ml).

The Bedtime Selfie Stick?

Okay, that title sounds so weird, but it’s a completely wholesome thing lol Cheap thrill that helps me unwind in the evenings to watch movies/shows on my phone is this Sofia R1 Extendable Selfie Stick with Tripod Stand (P85).

Colgate Optic White O2 Active Oxygen Whitening Toothpaste

I have been a longtime Colgate Optic White user ever since it first came out. Dunno if it’s just me, but I noticed that the older formulas seemingly feel weaker now and the newer, more premium releases have become more effective. So I tested their most expensive one to date, the Colgate Optic White O2 Aromatic Menthol Toothpaste (P235 for 85g) to see if it’s worth the price.

Maybelline Color Sensational Ultimatte Slim Lipstick in More Almond

Time and time again, I will always go back to bullet lipsticks. Their shelf life is generally longer than liquid formulas, and I find the application less fiddly than with a liquid formula. Plus, I’m a 90’s baby through and through. So don’t sleep on the Maybelline Ultimatte Lipstick range. And today, I’m showing off More Almond (P349).

For someone who has naturally wavy hair and lives in a humid country, dry shampoo has become a big deal to me as my hair only gets tame when it’s on the second day. I found a travel-friendly, non-aerosol alternative in this Kbeauty version, the A’pieu Oily Hair Dry Powder (P257.70 for 5g).
