Sneak Peak November Topbox + Limited Edition Men's holiday Topbox

Topbox just shipped out my November Topbox yesterday, and today they sent me an email giving me a sneak peak of one of the product I will be getting in my box this month


so here is the email!!

The Face Shop Haul!

I went to Pacific Mall today, a shopping trip well needed and deserved, haha.

I actually went to the mall hoping to just browse around and purchase a few necessities, however, as I was about to leave, I discovered that they just opened The Face Shop and of course, being me, I had to go in and check the stuff out.

Actually ended up buying a few things lol. :)

So if anyone doesn't know, The Face Shop is a Korean cosmetics brand that I believe, is pretty famous in Korea. I've always heard about them, but never really had the chance to purchase anything from them, except for today! Which I am really happy about actually.

I've also noticed that there are quite a few Korean cosmetics stores opening in Pacific Mall, which is pretty good for me, I don't really have to order these products online now and can just pick them up at the mall AND without having to wait for them or pay for shipping!

Sorry about the qualities of some of the pictures, I was trying to find the right lighting. ^^;;

Stila's "Forever Your Curl" Mascara Review

I received this mascara as a sample in my Topbox a few months ago and I was excited to test it out, so when I had my day off the other day, I decided to use it and see how it is.

I seemed to misplace the mascara.. So I am using my Fav makeup Guru's picture to show you guys how the brush head looks like

Picture taken from itsliz89, you can read her review HERE

I love her makeup tutorials and reviews especially on  eye products, because we have really similar eye shapes.



What does the mascara claim to do?
Took from Sephora's site:

What it is:
A long-wearing mascara that curls lashes instantly and over time.

What it does:
This mascara features innovative lash-curl memory that continually curls lashes throughout the day and a proprietary curling resin that dries down and holds the curl of lashes for long-lasting results. A unique brush coats and extends each individual lash for eye-popping results. Its intense carbon black hue delivers a lush, dramatic lash line from base to tip.



As I mentioned before, the KEY things I look in a mascara is its ability to hold curl, and no smudging.
So lets take a look

this is my eye without any eye makeup/primer/liner..etc.

just curled my lashes with my Shu Uemura curler

And then after ONE coat of the mascara:

Sorry, my camera didn't focus, but you can still see that my lashes dropped back to straight 

And then.. after I would say about 5 hours in the house.. its a complete disaster!!! I was literally a panda...My mom was all asking me.. "why did you put on makeup when you are staying at home?!?!" 

It's SOOOOOO BADDDDD and I didn't even put the mascara on my lower lashes.. If I did.. it would be even worse... oh gosh...

ready for the picture??????????
