Cheap Make-up Shopping



Warning: Cheap, but I didn't mean $1!

                     


     I don't wear that much make-up but I can never leave the house without a blush on the cheeks. I invest on really good blush-ons. I buy from the famous brands and I buy it at the high-end department stores. 
     But yesterday, I thought of checking out my favorite store "It's Demo (it's a one stop shop for women!)." Tried some make up and the next thing I knew, I was at the cashier's.

Here are the breakdown:

1. Lip Essence by Ettusai's! They have a collaboration with Disney so I chose Snow White over Mickey Mouse. Details about the product click here.


Cosme is a prestigious Award giving body for Make-ups here in Japan.

Was it worth it?
YES! It is not oily and definitely moisturizes your lips!
                            

                          
2. Kabuki Brush by Revlon. I like it because it is small and it has a small pouch so it is hygienic.

Was it worth it?
I am on the fence for this, because I thought of using this for the blush-on that I bought however..you need to read no. 3!



3. Cheek Color by Ettusai's. I love the color when I tried it on. It is very natural on the cheeks. The powder is soft that when I tried it today, I dont have to worry about putting too much because the color is  light.

       
So when I got home I realized that it comes with an original puff and I didn't know. That is why I was on the fence on buying the kabuki brush. Big lesson learned, always check the box!
                         




Was it worth it? YES! I definitely got the value for my money because I will be using this everyday for the rest of Spring :)

4. Eyebrow Pencil by Ettusai's. Ever since I dyed my hair brown, I didn't really have no choice but to "color" my eyebrows as well for that natural look. I bought a new liner because my old one was too light that I always have a hard time "drawing" my brows. It's always a make it or break it moment!



Well, it's the store's best seller so I couldn't go wrong!

Was it worth it? YES! The liner was easy to use for an amateur like me!

     Overall, I am very happy with my purchases even with buying the kabuki brush. I could still use it for my loose powder or even for the cheek color. It is a must-have for your make-up on the go. :) I realized that I bought mostly from Ettusai's. I didn't know that after I finish writing this.
