AZIZA lip gloss , AZIZA foundation, & Ever Bilena brush-set REVIEW

So! Here's my review of Ever Bilena Make-Up brush set, AZIZA's shimmering lipgloss and AZIZA's liquid foundation on my last haul.


EVER BILENA MAKE-UP BRUSH SET 

Oyeah, its colored pink! so fab right?! This set only costs 140php , available at Watsons.
Pros includes its cool packaging, soft bristles and cheap price.

Definitely it also had cons which include hair fall-offs.  awww.
But for me, its pretty good, not assuring you that it can be used in a long span of time.


AZIZA SHIMMERING LIP GLOSS

The actual picture of the lip gloss can be seen on my blog krissylicious.

This lip gloss really fascinated me with its color and glossing capacity. I've read its ingredients and they used MINERAL OIL as its base. Being a pharmacist, I know Mineral oil is a very good emollient that keeps lips moisturized and soft. Its color, carmine red was really a WOW. Another pros of this is that, it doesn't give a dry or flaky feeling on lips. 

I can say that one problem you could encounter with this gloss is that it has a waxy smell on lips, though they include a little fragrance, but not that much. I'll shall say that it is the  natural smell of the mineral oil..

AZIZA LIQUID FOUNDATION

Please visit krissylicious to view the actual packaging of the foundation.

As described in the packaging, this foundation is oil free. It absorbs oil and doesn't clog pores. I can attest that this is true based on the ingredients used. they used PROPYLENE GLYCOL which is an hydrophillic base and keeps the skin hydrated. Being a pharmacist and a cosmetic reviewee must know the contents of each product and how it works on one's skin or body.

This  powder also includes talc, which makes skin smooth after application. Over all, this product is excellent! its quick-drying, and smooth.

Cons of this is not so important, its the bottle-mouth which I found difficult to control the pouring of the foundation. They must placed it in a narrow mouthed bottle, to control the amount of liquid to be in a damp sponge...

I hope you've enjoyed and learned something from my review! Thanks for reading and I hope you'll be keep updated. ;) 

BLUSHies for your face

If you have an OVAL FACE, apply blush on top of your cheek-apples in the shape of a slanted triangle. To have a natural look in daytime, simply apply blush to the top of the apple for a pretty, flushed look. At night, heighten the application. For an extra impact of color, apply blush on the tip of the nose and across its bridge.

If you have a SHORT FACE and want it to look longer, start an oblong stroke below nose level, finishing up at the temple near your hairline. Blush should be applied in a long and slightly curved line (probably below the cheekbone down to the chin line, then blend..), it must be kept away from the center of the face.

To make your LONG FACE look shorter, apply blush across your cheeks starting at the mid-nose level, then blend it upward and downward. Blush should be applied in a shape of a soft triangle, close to the centre of your face to create the illusion of width. Dust the contour shade across the middle of the forehead (a little of the way down from the hairline) and along your chin.

For a SQUARE FACE, to soften the angles, you must concentrate the brighter color at the apple, then brush it up and out to the temples to give your face a little lift. To round blush around your face, dust the contour shade from your chin to the middle of your ear along the underside of the cheekbone. 

In a HEART-SHAPED FACE, just to soften the chin, apply blush to the lower part of the apple. Blend a liquid highlighter or primer around the chin and along the jawbone. This will give your face more balance. 

blushing tips

~~GENERAL TIPS ON How To Apply Blusher:~~

Use the color appropriate on the blush area. This is the part of the face between parallel lines, one extending outward from the corner of your eye and the second from the bottom of your nose.

Smile and lightly touch the blusher brush on the fatty part of the cheek and gently brush the blusher toward the temple, making a slight curve.

TIP: For a natural blush look, the direction starts from under the outer corner of the eye down below the fatty cheek part, then upwards.

A touch of color across the forehead and on the chin enchances your look.

The cream blush is applied to the cheeks with the fingertips in small amounts and spread in the desired fashion style. The powder blusher is applied with a soft brush.

APPLYING BLUSH STYLES ON NOSE:

If your nose is too long and narrow, try applying a little blush down the center of your nose

If its too wide,try lining it down each side. (this makes the emphasis on the length of your nose)
