BYS Animal Instincts Eyeshadow in 01Purples Swatches and Review

BYS has been launched here in the Philippines. It's an Australian brand made in P.R.C. that means Be Your Self! This pretty palette was given to me by my lovely cousin to try.

Texture wise it's superb, it's between creamy and powdery. Smooth application as well. What I don't like is it's not that pigmented and you need to pack on more powder to get the desired color. I also like using shimmery make ups together with matte ones like what I did on the pictures above to give more dimension. I used some blue color as well. The colors didn't show up that much in the pictures though.

**BYS Animal Instincts Eyeshadow costs 499php available at SM Malls.

New brands to try: BYS and Essence Make Up Haul! Surprise at the End

I'm almost running out of my Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream and I'm thinking what product to try next. I really considered The Body Shop's Vitamin E BB Cream but when I was checking the cosmetics section in SM Bacoor yesterday, I just can't resist! Since I got the SM Beauty Box, it includes Essence XXXL Lip Gloss in Rising Star, I got curious about the brand and look what I got.

Essence Soft & Natural Make-Up in 02 Sand Beige (249php)

Essence Sun Club Matt Bronzing Powder in Blondes/Lighter Skin (259php)

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss in Rising Star (139php)

Now for the BYS Cosmetics, my lovely cousin gave them to me. I checked the counter as well since I saw my mom got some BYS Metallics from Australia the last time she went there as well. As far as I know, their palettes cost 5AUD only but when I checked in SM..

BTW: EXCITING NEWS  FOR YA!

I saw a Bioderma Sensibio/Crealine 500ml at BYS counter for only 799php!! You heard me, 799php! The thing is, I saw one opened bottle which is running low for testers, and JUST ONE bottle for sale! I don't know if they still have stocks, but go ahead and check it before I change my mind and hoard it. Haha. I didn't buy it because I still have 2 bottles of Bioderma to use. Some ladies ought to try them too right? :) Oh, and the BYS Counter I'm talking about is at SM Bacoor.

Thanks for reading ladies!
