Rucy's Vanity Haul & First Impressions


Korean makeup is a booming trend nowadays. Thus, a lot of people, including me, love to try out cosmetics made from Korea since it's known for its quality and exquisite products. As such, Korean cosmetics are often priced more expensive than drug store makeup. When I heard about Rucy's Vanity PH - an affordable cosmetics brand here in the Philippines that produces Korean made high quality beauty products - I was ecstatic. They sent me their make-up products that can be used for a whole Korean make-up look.

This post will be my Rucy's Vanity Haul and first impressions since I plan to review all of these products in individual posts. The reason is that I feel like if I reviewed all of these in one post, it would be too long. Therefore, I will posts reviews on each product.

Here's the haul:

1.) Rucy's Vanity Two- Way Cake

- This is the two- way cake foundation of Rucy's Vanity priced at Php 250.00. The price can actually be patterned to drug store cosmetics here in the Philippines. It's a breath of fresh air, really, since it's hard to find affordable Korean cosmetics.


It only has two shades: Natural Beige (for fair skin), Dark Beige (for Morena). It's a little bit short on the variations and I'm hoping they release more options for this foundation. What I love about this is their packaging. It's very classy with its white overall color and a hint of pink. Once you open it, you can see the powder puff on top of a clear cap which reminds me of BB cushions. It's very innovative which is a plus for me.


2.) Rucy's Vanity Lip & Cheek Red

- This is their version of lip and cheek tint priced at Php 80.00 for 8ml. At first, I was disappointed because for the price, 8 ml seems so small. However, once I tried this, I changed my mind. It's very pigmented, I'm not even kidding. For a small dot, you can have rosy cheeks.


3.) Rucy's Vanity Waterproof Mascara

- Their waterproof mascara is very affordable priced at Php 180.00. It's in a very simple and sleek packaging. The cap twists smoothly. So far, I have no trouble with the packaging.


The mascara wand is very convenient with its thin bristles. This lets you apply the product smoothly without bumping to the skin around your eyes. Although, it does clump a little which can be fixed with a little bit of zigzag motion whilst applying. (This actually survived the sad moments of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo)


4.) Rucy's Vanity Waterproof Eyeliner

- Their eyeliner is smaller than the mascara and is priced at Php 160.00. I would have preferred it to be longer so its easier to apply. (Somehow my usual problem with eyeliners are how small their wands are)
 

I love how thin the tip is because it makes it easier to control. Plus, you can form subtle thin lines on your eyes which is great for your daily look and is perfect if your going for the Korean makeup look.


5.) Rucy's Vanity Auto Eyebrow Pencil

- Their eyebrow pencil comes in three colors: black, brown, and grey. This gives customers a wide range of options to choose from which I love. Plus, it has a very affordable price at Php 80.00. I liked the packaging simply because it's sturdy and smooth. Plus, simple elegance is a way to go.


Verdict:

I love Rucys Vanity because not only are they affordable but they also have high quality products. What more can a makeup lover want, right? My favorites (Yes, with an s because I'm like that) are the Cheek & Lip Red, Auto Eyebrow Pencil & Two- Way cake. I think these three stood out from the rest because they're exceptional with their pigment and smooth feel. Although I would have loved if the two-way cake had a dewy finish.

I hope you guys loved this haul! I would be writing a full review for each items by next week so wait for it.

Beauty MNL - No. 1 Online Beauty Shop in PH - HAUL




Make-up has and will always be one of the things that makes me happy. No matter how negative people can be with this popular trend, I stand by what I love. It's not about impressing other people. On the contrary, I believe in the power of makeup to produce confident and independent individuals. (because, we can never go wrong with a bold red lipstick, right? hihi) Thus, it's a surreal moment to find companies who cater to people's makeup needs and wants. 

When BeautyMNL - a top online shopping site for everyone's beauty cravings - contacted me to be one of the lucky bloggers to test their site, I was elated. I've been seeing and hearing a lot of reviews from this site. They offer wide range products from skin care to makeup and even tools. Moreover, they guarantee 100% authentic cosmetics from popular brands that are hard to find in the Philippines. This is one of the reasons why I prefer buying from this company since sg authentic and replicas are popular right now. Plus they offer a cash on delivery option and free shipping (for 2,000 pesos and up), too!

Buying cosmetics on the site was a breeze. 

Everything is in category so you won't get confused on what to buy. They have tabs for skin care, makeup, tools, accessories, etc. You can also choose to see brand per brand if you prefer buying cosmetics from your favorite. 



Once you see the product that caught your eye, be sure to read the description and reviews so that you can maximize online shopping. This is another great thing about BeautyMNL, almost all of their products have reviews from buyers so you can see if it's effective or not. 




Plus, do pick a shade.



 In my experience, the only downside that I saw was that some of my preferred products were sold out maybe due to the fact that it's their anniversary sale. BUT don't fret! If you don't need the product now, you can always use their waitlist option.

Now, if you're sure about buying the product, click add to cart and then proceed. Enter your address and then you're done! 

For the shipping, they guarantee next-day delivery to Metro Manila addresses and 3-5 working days for the rest of the Philippines. Now, take note that they don't deliver on weekends and holidays. 

I'm very impressed that my package arrived the day after I ordered.



And it was packed really carefully and neatly so that the palettes won't break.

Now, without further ado, I will list out all the things I bought and their links down below. (Hopefully, you'll find a new favorite here) 

 1. Carmex Classic Moisturising Lip Balm - 7.5g

- If you have chapped lips, this is the product for you! I have yet to test this out but in what I've read, this lip balm is effective.

 3. Maybelline Fashion Brow - 3D Brow & Nose Palette - in Light Brown

This palette is relatively new, as far as I know, and it can be used for 3D eyebrow shaping plus contouring and eyeshadow. A very flexible palette indeed.

HAUL: Ashley Shine Make-Up (First Impressions Included)



Ever wondered if cheap make-up brands and products are worth your time? I do. Everytime I'm thinking of purchasing make-up. I don't usually buy high-end products, simply because I don't have an unlimited money resource. Thus, I usually settle for medium to high quality cheaper alternatives.

I noticed that a lot of sg cosmetics and China products are popular nowadays because of their price. So I decided to buy a lot in Ashley Shine cosmetics. AND GUESS what? I bought 10 items for just under 350 pesos. Neat, right?

Want to know if it's worth it? Check out my video!




Love,
