Fashion 21 Double Up Mascara

Happy weekend, everyone! I just found out I’ll be teaching two new students at work so that means I’ll have five total now. I’ll be working longer on a Saturday, but that’s okay. It just means I get paid a little bit more and I can keep myself productive instead of sleeping the entire afternoon like I usually do on Saturdays! Despite my lazy nature, I do like being productive. Haha.

Anyway, today’s review will be on something that’s been around for a while already and have seen a lot of other local bloggers talk about and say they really like. In fact, a fair amount claim that it’s the best locally-made mascara they’ve tried. Let’s see if I can say the same with the Double Up Mascara  (Php225.00) from Fashion 21.

There’s actually no formal description written on the packaging itself, only directions and tips on how to use the mascara, but the website does state this: “Get 2x the length and volume in an instant! Comes with a unique glide-soft bristle for easy application with zero clumps.” The mascara only comes in one shade which is black.

Review: Pink Obsession from Fashion 21

As a lipstick fiend, I was excited to see that a new lipstick line was released by Fashion 21. Even better, it was a line consisting of entirely pink shades appropriately titled "Pink Obsession".

Fashion 21 is a local, Filipino brand that has been selling trendy, affordable, and quality cosmetics since 1985. All of their products, from blushes to face powders to lipsticks, always come in a wide range of both shades and types. Even better, virtually every department store in the country is sure to have a Fashion 21 stall in it!

Honestly, I've only ever tried one product from them so far, which is a liquid liner. But I've often browsed their stalls and with these new lipsticks, I can confidently say their stuff is definitely budget-friendly and you'll see that it's easy to tell that quality hasn't been sacrificed.

The new Pink Obsession line, which came out a couple of months if I'm not mistaken, has seven shades in total: Hot Diva, Berry Princess, Sexy Lady, Baby Chic, Blushing Teen, Pretty Daisy, and Dream Girl.

The outer packaging is nothing special, made of thin and soft card paper, but very girly and feminine. Look at all that pink! I do like how one end of the box allows you to see the shade of the lipstick first too.
