REVIEW: In2It Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Very Black

I've been MIA (missing in action) the past few weeks. I know, I'm such a lazy lass. I've been busy with work and after work, I just sleep, wake up and go to work again. During my rest days (day-off at work) I spend time with my Babe who will be leaving the country soon for work so we are just making the most out of it since he won't be back 'til December.
 
Anyhoo, I found an amazing product when I was strolling at Watson's. It's really not good when your office is near any mall, especially for someone like me who is an "impulsive buyer". I'm really banning myself buying beauty products since I really have a lot now. I don't have a collection like other beauty guru's/bloggers but I know in myself that what I have is a lot for me and I only have one face and I already have 10 foundations. I know it's not normal, I know others have more but for me that's a lot.
 
Enough with the blabber. I'm not reviewing a make-up foundation anyway. I found a great product since my 4U2 DFY9 Liquid Eyeliner is a little bit dry and it's hard to make a perfect cat eye using it. So I grabbed this adorable eyeliner and the packaging really got my attention. I used my Sony Cybershot DSC-W120 so the photos are not as good as Digital SLR shots.Take a look:
 


Glittery gold and black looks so elegant together.



 

 

In2it has the cutest yet classy packaging in my opinion. I got this for P399.75. A bit pricey for me but for me, it's worth it.

 

 

I got the shade in Very Black, though I don't know what EPF 01 stands for. Maybe "Eyeliner Pen Fine"??? I don't know.

 

 

 

In2it claims that this product is:

• Easy to apply and draw accurate lines -- Yes,but not super fine lines
• Waterproof and long-wearing -- Yes, I'll explain later
• Quick drying --It takes less than a minute to do so.
• Smudge resistant -- That depends
• Easy to remove -- Water does
• No need to sharpen -- It's a pen for Pete's sake,very convenient since I don't bring sharepners
• No fragrance -- It does not smell like there's chemicals in it. It has a faint make-up scent but it does not bother me

 

 
It looks so sleek and adding gold to the black packaging adds "Oomph!" to it. I can't rave much about the design. It looks like a high-end product. I just love it.
 


 
 
It's a fine tip fibre applicator also known as "felt-tip". I've tried the one from Maybelline that has a fine tip brush applicator which works fine but not as great as this. It dried so fast and the cap keeps coming off making my bag a mess. I normally don't like felt tip eyeliners because it's so hard to control (Nichido, F21 and Ever Bilena), but this one actually bends like a brush when you apply it which I prefer.
 


 
The handle is ergonomically-designed for easy handling. It's like rubber but tough so your fingers won't slip or slide if that makes any sense. The pen's shape is slightly curvy and because of this it makes application easy peasy. It's very handy and will not take too much space in my make-up bag.
 


 
I don't want to swatch it on my hands too hard since I don't want to waste the product. So I made little strokes, let it dry for a minute and rubbed it like hell, maybe 6 times and that's what I got. Not bad eh. I mean why would you rub your eyes so hard when you know you have eye make-up on? Not me.
 

 
Please ignore the ungroomed brows, large pores and eyebags. I just washed my face and applied my skin essentials on the photos. I know, I'm weird since I tested this after my skincare routine. I got this after work so when I got home, I'm really excited to try this. I tested this product before sleeping.
 
Can you see how deep the color is. It's really "Very Black" and has a matte finish but somehow sheer. Very pigmented and it's very easy to apply. It does
 



 
FINAL THOUGHTS:
 
It's a great product. It's long-lasting, it's very pigmented, easy application, dries fast. It has almost everything that I am looking for an eyeliner. I would suggest that it should come with a micro-fine tip applicator version of this then it would be perfect. 
 
It's a bit pricey for me, but let me tell you, you'll get what you paid for. It's totally worth it. I really can't tell if it dries fast or how long this will last since it has been two weeks since I purchased this and I'm not using it everyday. I actually placed it inside the box and use it occassionally but I'll update this blog once it dies and go to make-up heaven.
 
You can purchase this at any Watson's Outlet or malls that has In2it counters for P399.75.

How I Cover My Zits :IN2IT Sheer Natural Pimple and Blemish Concealer with Salicylic Acid Review

Happy Chinese New Year guys! It's almost midnight and I'm still up. Good thing, BF bought me some Rock n' Salt Cocoa from Happy Lemon because I'm a little down today and I really need something to cheer me up. I won't mind the sugars and calories for now. Even I'm "cheerless" today, it won't stop me to post a review on one of my recent purchases.

Have you tried the Honey Mask? If yes, how was it? If you'll ask me, yeah,I've tried it and if I can just turn back the time, I wish I haven't tried it. I suffered from severe acne on my chin and my jaw after 3 days of using raw organic honey.  I eventually stopped it though I know my skin will purge at first. I just didn't expect that it would be that worse. Poor me, I have now blemishes, acne scars, and some pimples are still popping out of nowhere.

I went to Watson's Gateway and found this one. They don't have testers but the SA's "sales talk skills" made me bought this, so without further ado, this is my review on IN2IT Sheer Natural Pimple and Blemish Concealer with Salicylic Acid



Credits to IN2IT's official website http://www.in2itcosmetics.com/web/product_SCS.html
 

The Sheer Natural is a new line on IN2IT's collection. They also have the Sheer Natural Gel Foundation with SPF 25, PA++ and Sheer Natural 2-Way Foundation, and I am planning to buy the foundation this payday.

 

 

 

What it claims: 

•  high-coverage,accurate to apply and easy to blend
• waterproof and long wearing
• contains salicylic acid
• twist-up
• oil-free



 

I got the shade in SCS 01 Beige, and checking their site, I believe this is the only shade available which is a bummer.

 

Made in Germany 0.28g

The flower and vine print in silver is simply adorable and cute.

Take note!

Good thing they placed that notice because I want to check the lenght of the stick

 



For the test



Bare face

 

One layer of concealer

 

Two layers of concealer

 

 

YAY!

• I really like the consistency, it's not too creamy but it's very easy to blend.
• It concealed the redness of my pimples and from afar, you won't notice it, but since mine is like cystic acne I think, it's pretty visible up close, since it's pretty bumpy.
• Fortunately, the shade matches my skintone.
• It has stayed on my skin and kept my pimples concealed for 5-6 hours.
• It somehow shrunk the size of my zits. I believe it's because of the salicylic acid( I accidentally slept with it,after testing it SORRY)

NAY!

• If you have a lot to cover, I won't suggest this one since it only has 0.28 grams.
• The amount of product you get for Php319.75 really bummed me.
• It only has one shade (I've checked their site and according to the SA who assisted me)

I would definitely repurchase this if they will repackage this and put more product in it. Generally, the consistency and blendability is a dream. I absolutely love it. If you want a dual purpose product, to conceal your problem areas and heal them, this one's for you.



Random Talk/Pictures:

 

Boyfriend bought me Happy Lemon's Rock n' Salt Cheese in Cocoa,which my one of my comfort food/drink,next to Gong Cha's Wintermelon with loads of their Special Milk Cream, since I need something to boost me up.

 

He's just the sweetest. We've been together for almost 2 years now. One year and 11 months to be exact on 02/11/13. I'm a lucky maiden I'll say.

I was drinking this while blogging about this.

What do you eat or drink when you feel down?

Payday Beauty Haul! ft. Suzanne's Emporium and Watson's Gateway

Hey guys! This is my first haul post and the one of the reasons why I've been into blogging is I want to share the products that I've bought because personally, I love watching haul videos or haul blog posts especially from Filipina beauty bloggers. It helped me finding products that I've never heard of, try out new products, find online shops where I can buy products not available here in the Philippines. Basically, I love haul posts/videos, second are make-up/skincare reviews and last are make-up tutorials, FOTD's, EOTD's, OOTD's and whatever OTD's are out there.

Anyhoo, I've been shopping online lately, I like it better since a lot of products not available here are offered online. So, I discovered this online store , Suzanne's Emporium , and it offers U.S. make-up brands and it's really cheap and our transaction went smoothly. The seller, Suzanne is so accommodating.
 
So yeah, I've bought some stuff from her, mostly eyeshadow palettes.

 

 

I've got 2 neutral eyeshadow palettes from her. The pencil eyeliner and the faux nails are for free. It's really aca-awesome. (Sorry, I'm still having Pitch Perfect hang-over) I mean, who doesn't love free stuff.

 

 

Wet n Wild Color Icon in VANITY

 

 I got if for, guess what? Not Php400.00 , not Php300.00 but for only Php250.00.

It's a steal for me. I've been eyeing on Naked Palette from Urban Decay, but this is way cheaper and you can do a lot of looks for this one. I'm so excited to try this one out. (I'm actually watching Youtube videos on tutorials using this palette now)

 

It's like a "little black dress" on my make-up stash. I mean, it's just so perfect to use everyday on any occasion and it's uber-pigmented especially the matte ones on the left side.

 

Black Radiance in Desert Clay

 

Another eyeshadow palette I've got is from Black Radiance in Desert Clay. Black what? yeah, I've never heard of this brand before. It's from USA and this palette was rated 4.9 lippies from MakeUp Alley from 7 consumers which is not bad, so I said to myself I had to buy it.

 

I got it fro only Php135.00 and I guess it should cost more than that because it's a pigmented neutral palette, and if you want to have a bronzy goddess eyes. I'm excited to use this one as well.

 

It has a medium bronze-gold, a warm metallic apricot, a deep bronze, and a dark matte chocolate colors. (Oh di ba? ang galing ko mag-describe,may metallic medium deep effect pa) hahaha :)

 

Thank you Suzanne for all the freebies. I really love them all especially the Wet N Wild Color Icon Pencil in Black/Noir. Why?

 

Wet N Wild Color Icon Pencil in Black/Noir

 

This one is a jet black, very creamy and doesn't smudge on me. I have the Nichido Mineral Kohl Pencil in Onyx that I use in tight lining and IMHO, this works better. I actually removed Nichido from my everyday make-up bag and replaced it with this one. I might do a side-by side comparison soon. I love this one and it's for free.

 

On my way meeting Suzanne, I dropped by at Watson's Gateway since I need to ride LRT from Cubao to Legarda Station. I would always make a promise to myself not to buy things that I don't need but I love make-up so I always break that promise. I mean, I can't go out of the mall without going to the make-up department or section.

 

Yeah, so I went there and found some products that I really need, (I'm not being defensive here)

 

I bought a concealer from IN2IT, which is their Sheer Natural pimple and blemish concealer with salicylic acid. That's a mouthful.Anyway, I've been suffering from acne's lately along the jawline because "it's the time of the month again" and I just don't like using my Garnier Undereye BB Roll-On on my zits so I got this for Php319.75 which is kinda pricey for me. I really don't have time to roam around since I don't want to be late on our meet-up. I got the shade SCS01 Beige,according to the SA, it's the lightest shade.

 

 

 

 

Here's a quick swatch:

 

It's too dark for me, I haven't tried it yet because I want to take a picture first of the product before I use it. And silly me, I forgot the camera I use at my boyfriend's house and I need to wait 'til today to take a picture of it.

 

It's really pigmented and provides full-coverage because when I tried to rub it off from the back of my hand, it feels like a semi-creamy matte,almost like a matte lipstick that has moisture in it. I was like, "Oh snap!"

 

 

 

 

I got this for Php258.00 in the shade of Natural 03. The powder foundation is less-powdery than the pressed powder version which I used once and is now being neglected because it's chalky, it washed me out, and I just don't like it. I've regretted buying it.

 

So that's it for my haul. I love all my purchases and I feel proud adding them into my growing make-up collection. *happy dance*

 

 

Random Talk/Pictures:

 

 



My boyfriend have been requesting an anime look because he loves watching Naruto, Bleach , One Piece.  This is my first take on this so please don't be cruel. I'm not into costume looks. I love simple and natural looks okay. I don't have anything on my lips which is a boo for me. I was just so excited to take a picture of my new look. This was inspired by the "Cyber Gothic Anime" look of Michelle Phan sans the eyeshadow.

 

 

 

See yah on my next blog post. I really have a lot of things on my mind, I just don't have the time. :(

 

 

 

Lotsalove,
