Essence Quattro Eyeshadow - Over the taupe

I went over to Paloma a couple of weeks ago to take my VIP card but it wasn't ready yet (Jessie told me it took them 6 months to do them!). So I browsed my fav shelve there which is also the shelve which holds the cheapest makeup stuff in the store lol Picked this up.

There are other quads too, I think I saw a brown one but I think I have enough browns so I picked up the taupe quad. I have always had a fascination with the color taupe. It's always tough to describe them but I like to call them greyish brown lol These are super cheap too, as usual. Got them for B$5.90!

These aren't as pigmented as I hoped they'd be but I think it's pretty good for the price. Let's just say you get what you paid for ;) No biggie though, this quad is perfect for those who just wanna do something quick and easy on the eyes. I have yet to use this on campus during classes but I think I should do it. Next week. :D The colors are definitely toned down enough for an everyday look!



It blended pretty easily and I think it's also easy to over-blend the colors so they would end up looking muddy and messy. I normally just pack on the eye shadow using a patting motion and blend it lightly. Other than that, I quite like this quad! Check them out if you're in Paloma!





Life at UBD is super hectic this semester! I think it was the breadth course that I took. LOL I know fellow blogger Jesmine will know what I mean. ;) Apart from that I also took this course called Stress Management with Complementary Therapies. It's pretty awesome! One of our coursework was to write up a reflective journal depicting the most stressful event in our life. That's already 50% of our coursework. The other 50% is the assessment on the activities that we did throughout this semester and that include Qi Gong, Makko Ho exercises, Meridian Tapping and even Foot Massage! And guess what. Tomorrow's the assessment! Better get back to my practice!
