Review: Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara (Waterproof)

I have been using this Mascara everyday for the past week to test it out. I was at my local Shoppers Drugmart the other day and saw this mascara. I bought it without reading any reviews. I basically bought it based on what it claimed on the packaging.

What it claims:

-   Maybelline's first Gel-Mousse formula: Contains 40% less hard waxes for massive yet supple lashes, never stiff, never brittle.

-   Patented Flexor Brush gently coats every lash with supple volume

-   Ophthalmologist tested, Contact lens safe.


I bought the waterproof one and went for the more natural Brownish Black colour.

Review: Tony Moly Clean Dew Broccoli Sprout Cleansing Cream

I have been using this cleansing cream everyday for the past week to take off my makeup and I must say, I am very impressed!!

I was finishing up my Naruko Cleansing oil, and decided to get this one while I was shopping on cosmetic love for a pressed powder.

Here is the link to the product >>Click<<  it is $13.29 USD on cosmetic-love's site and I bought it without doing any research or reading any review. I admit, I bought it just because of the packaging!

 Isn't the packaging adorable???  and it contains 200ml of product

 

This is how the cream looks like. It has small green beads inside (Vitamin E capsules).

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??????????

Lioele, Tony Moly , Etude House, innisfree Mini Haul

My stuff from cosmetic love finally came!!! I just opened it and took pictures

I am super excited BUT!!! I got charged with duty ='( .... $16.03 of duty tax... well not really.. the receipt says duty: $1.94  HST: $4.14  and Handling costs: $9.95   grrrrrrrrrr!!!! damn you customs!!!!

This is actually my first time getting charged for stuff from cosmetic love and my mom is still going on about " oh, you buy too many things online and go calculate if it was worth it to pay 16 dollars of tax and blah blah blah"

and yup.. I am writing this blog with her yelling at me in the background

So here are the things I  purchased. I actually bought some samples too just to try it out and see if they are worth buying.  I bought the Tony Moly Tomatox and Red Appletox samples as well as the Lioele triple the solution BB cream.. they are about $3-4 USD for pack of 3. 

The full size products I bought are:

Tony Moly Broccoli Sprout Cleansing Cream

 Lioele Be my Skin Powder Pact (oil control type)

innisfree Jejubija anti-trouble BB cream

Etude House Drawing Eyebrown pencil in #05 (I think its gray)

Benefit's ''they're real'' mascara REVIEW

I received the generous sample size of the Mascara from Topbox last time and I was really excited to try it out because  I read a lot of good reviews about it. 

 So here is how it looks, the sample I got was 0.1oz. The full size is 0.3oz and it retails for $29 CND in Sephora.

And this is how the brush looks like, is is those rubber bristles which I love, and I really do love the brush head because the front of it has the spherical shape which reminds me of the Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara brush and it really helps to coat those little smaller lashes with mascara

 So here are the things the Mascara claims to do, and according to a lot of the reviews I read, it seems to hold true.













BUT it didn't really work for me
