Must Eyetem Mascara

Must Eyetem Mascara
Lately,  I have not been including mascara to my routine. It's just a time consuming step to add. Especially when you're already like a minute late to your schedule. Don't even talk "prepare early" with me because that's just irrelevant. LOL.


So maybe less than a month ago, my mom went to haul a good amount of products from a Korean store and she was so nice to get me a mascara to try. I don't know but it's like all of a sudden. Maybe she remembered that I want to get any of those colorful fat Maybelline mascaras so yeah. 


The moment she told me it's from Korea, I was so excited to use it because you know Koreans! Although they would probably just stack on fake eyelashes for a more convincing look. Anyways. 


The packaging doesn't look professional at all. It actually looks like something a high school girl would use. Not that it's a bad thing. I just noticed. Oh it's also cheap. As I remember, 3000 won. So it's about 150 ish php. So maybe I shouldn't really complain about how it looks. The formula is more leaning to the wetter side thus it is kind of more difficult to set. If you have enough time though, you might be able to set it down before blinking and having an instant black eye in return.



One thing about me is that I don't have impressive eyelashes. EVEN FOR A TYPICAL SOUTH EAST ASIAN. Like, I am below the table. 

curled lashes
Even if curled, you can barely seen them. I also find my lashes difficult to curl so as much as I don't want to, I kind of do the curling the wrong way and in such a way that there would be like 2 or 3 that will be detached from the roots. Sorry lashes

with the mascara on
As you may have noticed, my lashes became more noticeable which I think is a good thing. So yay! As from what I noticed, it doesn't give much length but it defo gives volume. 


So yeah it's more of easy but really messy to apply and you have to hold your position like this for a while or else the product would go up your lids. Or maybe that's just me. So that's it guys! I don't hate the product at all. I will use it actually. Because it's from mom. Take care!

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara. Review.

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara. Review.

Here's how it looks like.


It's 9 ml so it's not really a lot. And for some reason, my tube is kind of dry already. I don't know of it's just me or the product kind of dried inside. I don't usually use mascara that often so I don't know what the hype is all about.


Here's how it's brush looks like :) I kind of like the tip of the brush because it makes it easier to apply mascara to the lower lashes.

 

The left picture is my eye with nothing on (but curled) And then the left is my eye with the mascara on. Pretty impressive and the change was quite dramatic but believe me, I WORKED HARD FOR IT. Like coats and coats and coats of mascaras to achieve this final look. Also, it can get really clumpy and stuff. I mean, I didn't do anything unusual for it to be potentially harmed and suddenly decided to kind of be coagulated inside so I don't know if I have anything to do with its faultiness and stuff. So yeah.

But with persistence and probably if I am not in a hurry or what, I don't mind coating my lashes so many times to make it look better, fuller and nicer.


I don't know if you noticed but my lashes really looks fuller and yeah so much dramatic than my natural lashes. I know mine when super done just looks like normal to you but whatever. LOL.


Also! I took Michelle Phan's advice not to forget the lower lashes because they also need some lovin' and stuff. See how it looks better?

So yeah, that's my review of it. I wouldn't choose it over any other nicer product. But probably for a survival kit or some sort of "I-don't-have-anything-else-to-use" then no choice. Gotta work it! :D

CD Diorshow Iconic Mascara. Review.

Diorshow Iconic Mascara

ITEM # 1107051 SIZE 0.33 oz
COLOR Noir - rich black


So, Even though it doesn't look impressive on picture, it's actually quite nice! I mean, it sort of have this 3D kind of illusion. Or is that 2D? It's somehow shimmery and somehow glittery I guess?


But other than the fancy packaging, no thanks. Like, it doesn't actually do much difference on my lashes. 

     

It takes a lot of coats to actually achieve a very decent coverage. I mean, probably because of my lashes too. But...just saying. And it's not actually very easy to apply in a sense that it kind of feels a little dry. Just a little though. And the brush is kind of huge so it's really hard to reach short lashes. Not to be racist but most Asians have shorter lashes and kind of smaller eyes so I guess it's really not gonna be the best product to use. But for the others, I guess there wouldn't be much difficulty in using it. What I like about it though is that the product doesn't clump so yeah...


Sorry for that little friend in the middle. But I swear there's more somewhere. LOL. I forgot to actually do my lower lashes but I bet there's not much of a difference would I apply some coats. 


So there you have it! :)
