I love nail polish! I think it’s a great way to express yourself. It also adds color and helps accentuate one’s attire. However, it can be a chore to apply and dry. It is also horrible when it chips and you have no tools to fix the problem.
I am really happy to have discovered water-based, peel-off polish (thank you, Erika Rhane). You can easily achieve the same look as you would with regular polish but it dries completely in minutes. This makes it perfect for busy people who often use their hands. You really can get your nails done at the last minute and have a great manicure for the night.
Clean-up is also a breeze since you can just peel it off. You won’t need acetone. You just need to gently push the dried polish up from any edge and pull gently.
Is there a downside to it? It is more easily torn so expect that you’ll have to change sooner. I tried doing my usual chores with them on my nails and the maximum number of days it lasted intact was 4 days.
Water-based, peel-off polish is readily available. I bought some online at really affordable prices through Lazada and Shopee. My niece also got some really good ones from Mumuso (physical store).

Anything sparkly, shiny, and bright has the ability to get one into a festive mood. Now that we are well into the Ber months with holidays fast approaching, we should allow ourselves to enjoy the season—even more so during these very trying times—while it lasts.
Blythe Cosmetics by Careline helps give you that boost to perk you up, give you confidence, or simply get you into the holiday spirit with these fun make-up hacks you can try using the Blythe Stardust Highlighter Palette (P275):
As an eye make-up
While highlighters are known to be applied on the high points of the face such as the cheeks, bridge, and tips of the nose, and cupid’s bow, it can also be used to make your eye make-up stand out even more! Apply your preferred Stardust Palette shade above and below the eyebrows to enhance the shape of the brows and accentuate the eyes and face. You can also dust on the corners of the eyes to open them up and make them appear bigger and brighter.
As a concealer
Did you know that you can also use highlighters to cover the dark circles of the eyes? To achieve this, go for the pearly white shade or pinkish tone in the palette and dab under the eyes; then apply your favorite concealer on top of it and blend into the skin to make it look seamless.
On the lips
On the days you get to expose your lips, be sure to make it stand out by dabbing it on before or after you apply your gloss or lipstick. Also, apply some on the cupid’s bow to give the illusion of a plumper lip.
On the skin
If you feel as if your skin looks dull and pale lately, a quick application of highlighter on the skin can easily make it look healthy and fresh. You can mix it with your favorite lotion or moisturizer or you can directly apply it on your collarbones, décolleté, shoulder, and arms. You’ll surely dazzle when the sun hits your skin!
Bring a sparkle into your life these ber months by trying these highlighter hacks using the Blythe Stardust Highlighter Palette available on Careline’s official Lazada page (bit.ly/BlytheLazada).

Nothing beats the classic. Highly ideal for any eye shape, the natural eyeliner style is probably one of the easiest to make.
Start by drawing a thin line on both ends of your eyelids. Then draw another, this time thicker, lines from the middle of your eyelids outwards to create wings.
Doll-Eyes

The doll-eyes makeup technique is perfect for women with round eyes.
Slay this style by drawing a simple cat eye from the inner corner of your eyes, outwards. Then, to create a more dazzling eye makeup, add glittery eyeshadow and use lash extensions both for your upper and lower eyelashes. Finish the look with preferably brown contact lenses.
Thick

Another technique that is ideal for those with mono-lids is the thick eyeliner which aims to define the outer corners of the eyes.
Starting with thick lines on the inner corners, gradually add more volume from the middle of the upper lash line to the wings.
Floating Eyeliner or Double Line
Andrea Brillantes in Floating or Double Line eyeliner technique
This makeup technique has a lot of variations but is most ideal for girls with hooded eyes. Accentuate your eyes even more by going extra on your typical cat-eye.
To achieve this look, draw a thin line from your wing which extends up to your inner crease to create an illusion of bigger lids. Finish off the look with a swoosh of mascara.
Artsy or Cute

This 2019, dare to be different by experimenting with new makeup routines and looks for an upgraded version of you. Let EB Advance, the premier line of Ever Bilena Cosmetics, help you with these simple makeup tips:
Highlight over foundation for skin that glows from within.
The usual step that most follow is to apply primer then foundation. But if you want to achieve natural-looking glowy skin, switch up your makeup routine a bit and brush on EB Advance Glow Out Highlighter (P299) on the high points of your cheeks, bridge of your nose, temples, Cupid’s bow, and chin right after priming.
Dab on your favorite foundation then proceed with the rest of your routine. You can opt to intensify your highlighter by adding another layer after finishing your makeup. You can also use highlighter on your body such as your collarbones, shoulders, and legs for that sun-kissed glow.
Smudge eyeliner for an effortlessly cool smoky eye.
Want to have a subtle glam look but lack the time and skill to do it? A smudged eyeliner will do the trick. It’s easy – simply apply a thick line of EB Advance Eye Define Waterproof Matic Liner (P175) above your upper lash line and use a brush to smudge out your eyeliner.
For your lashes, use EB Advance Lash Define Waterproof Mascara (P205) for an edgy, smoky eye look.
Experiment with colors.
For 2019, it’s all about playing with eyeshadow colors that you don’t normally go for. If you’re the “no makeup, makeup” type, maybe you can try adding a pop of color like the blood red matte or the shade in EB Advance Uncover 2 palette (P395). If you’re the adventurous type who prefers loud colors, this time around maybe you can try the muted, neutral ones.
Leveling up your makeup game for the coming year does not necessarily mean completely altering your usual makeup looks. Making subtle changes or switching up your usual routine automatically upgrades your whole makeup game. These clever products from EB Advance will help you do just that.
