We were abuzz with excitement as we approached the bright, fresh, and inviting Elianto boutique. Elianto is a brand of skin care, cosmetics, and make-up products from Malaysia. It used to be endorsed by Vanessa Chong, one half of the two-girl team from Malaysia in Amazing Race Asia.
Alas, I can't find any more photos of Vanessa's old Elianto ads so I had to settle for the above from Inquirer.net. Anyhow, Elianto is the Italian word for "sunflower". It represents the unique world of beauty comprised of affordable high quality cosmetic products. Although Elianto started out in 2005, it was July 2006 when it opened its first Philippine outlet at the SM Mall of Asia. Elianto products are made in Korea and Italy.
We felt like kids in a candy store when we finally went inside the Elianto boutique at SM The Block. A myriad of eyeshadow colors greeted me, there was even a fire engine red shadow which I found pretty unique...
An item that instantly caught my eye was the Cream Concealer (P399). It won in Cosmopolitan Philippines Magazine's Beauty Awards in 2009. According to make-up artist Olivia Dee-Montenegro, it's very creamy so it conceals flaws and blends very easily. Since there are only two shades I grabbed the lighter one.
Another interesting find is the Elianto Brightening Eye Zone Treatment Patch (P169 per pack, contains 12 pairs of patches). Since I am a night owl, I have dark undereye circles. I need these patches to lighten them. Needless to say I dropped a pack in my shopping basket.
Elianto's new line of lipsticks, the Vitamin E-enriched Matte Berry (P359 each), is also a must-have. It comes in five berry-inspired shades. It glides on smooth, provides incredible color and coverage, yet finishes incredibly matte. I love how light it feels on my lips. I got the darkest shade which is 05 Tawny Berry. It looks almost brown on the tester tube but its actually very natural-looking once it goes on my lips.
To complete my beauty haul for the night I also got Elianto Touch On Blush in Tea Rose (P499) and Elianto Frosted Liquid Liner in Dusty Blue (P150).
