Pump Bottles for Beauty Products and Toiletries

The lotion cleanser and facial cleanser that I use come in a bottle and tube. I find it annoying when the original containers that the products come in dispense more product than what I really need.

So, here's the solution: I transfer the product from the original tube or bottle to another bottle that has a pump dispenser. In that way, one pump always dispenses the same amount of product and does away with the problem of having excess product being dispensed from the original container that the product came in. The products lasts longer (as you use less of it) and it's also more hygienic as your hand doesn't touch any of the unused product.

NYX Wonder Pencil Review

NYX Wonder Pencil in Light

I've read a lot of positive reviews about the NYX Wonder pencil and simply had to get myself one to find out what the rave was all about. I tried the tester in Sephora KLCC but they only had the product available in "dark" which is too dark for me. This is what I discovered, this is one product that is not easy to get hold of. I had to visit THREE Sephora outlets (yup, you read that right, THREE Sephora outlets) in the city before getting hold of the product in the shade that I wanted (yes, I was THAT determined to get hold of it).

I purchased mine in the shade "light" and I've been using this product for about a month now. It gives a more natural skin tone color than using a stark white pencil on my waterline which would look totally fake. The down side to it is that it doesn't last long but I like the look that I get. I also use this product on the inner corner of my eyes (blended out, of course) to create a more alert effect to my eyes.

I've tried using it as a reverse lip liner, just on my cupid's bow, but I think I'll need to purchase one in medium to do that since the current shade that I have, while it looks good on my waterline, is a tad too light for my skin tone. I think I'll purchase another one in the shade "medium" which would be a better color match for my skin.

It's ineffective when used as a concealer, it just doesn't conceal anything! That said, I'm just happy that it works on my waterline as an eye brightener and look forward to using it to create my cupid's bow when I get around to purchasing another one in "medium".

The Good:
Makes my eyes look more alert when applied to waterline and inner corners of my eyes...yay!!!
Affordable price

The Not So Great:
Difficult to get hold of/  Not easily available
Doesn't last long :(
Not great as a concealer
