And we're back to regular programming! The long Christmas break is over, the little man went back to school this morning, and I'm back to blogging again! Yay!
I went to a few parties during the Christmas break
(it is, after all, a time for reunions and such) and did some catching-up with some of my friends. In one of those parties, a friend of mine asked me what's the cheapest makeup that I own. She was rather surprised to know that I do own
(and use) a makeup item that costs no more than
Php 70. I'm pretty much a cheapskate at times, you know. :)

| Love & Beauty Eyeliner Pencil. |
This is the
Love & Beauty Eyeliner Pencil from
Forever 21, which costs
$1.50 (around Php 67). Not sure if this item is sold at Forever 21 branches here in the Philippines, but I got mine directly from
Forever21.com. I actually bought this out of curiosity, and yeah, because it is pretty cheap.

| Product info at the back. Love that it's not tested on animals. |
The
Love & Beauty Eyeliner Pencil comes in different shades; I reckon there were three shade selections during the time I bought mine, which is
Dark Brown.
 |
| Comes with a clear plastic cap for easy shade reference. |
Here's the very brief product description from the website:
Create a subtle or dramatic look with the Love & Beauty Eyeliner Pencil. Matte finish. Lightweight.
 |
| Brown/Brun. :) |
And here's how it looks like when swatched.

| Lined once on the left, twice on the right. |
Application is smooth and easy - it glides well, and does not tug at all. I also like how this product stays on my lash lines for hours before the color gradually fades.
However, the Dark Brown shade isn't as dark as I wanted it to be, and the color looks even weaker when worn on the lash lines. I need to swipe a few times on my lower lash line (which unfortunately makes my eyes water) for the color to actually pop. But then again, considering how much (or how little) I paid for this product, I guess I can't complain. Haha!

This is how I usually line my eyes during the day - black on brown.
Black lifts and defines the eyes, and brown makes my eyes brighter and look less tired. |
How about you, what's the cheapest makeup that you own? :)
