DollyWink Liquid Eyeliner + Kate Brown Collection BR1 FOTD

 

My new eye liner love ~ Dollywink Liquid Liner

There are no words to describe how much  I love my Dollywink liquid eyeliner right now. The tip is very thin yet sturdy and the color is a nice deep black, not at all inky like some drugstore brands and it applies like a dream. If you are semi monolid like me and need a very accurate and sharp eyeliner to bring out your eye shape, DW eyeliner is really amazing. WOW.  Plus it doesn’t hurt that the eyeliner and packaging is mega cute!

A simple and really fast look that I did using Dollywink liquid liner and kate brown collection BR1.My eyeliner strokes are never this fine but the fine tip of DW makes it so easy. Sharp lines are very easy to draw now!

Hmm.. the KATE brown collection BR1 actually showed up well in my microshots. I’m using fairy drops mascara btw

Have a great midweek!

Recent Hauls–Canmake, Rowenta Flat Iron Hair,Loreal Open Eyes Palette

 

 

The past week has been pretty tough. A sick hubby and a little baby equals all work and no play for me. I missed blogging a lot and wanted to share my beauty buys with you guys. These were accumulated over the past month and I just haven’t had the time to blog about it.

LOREAL OPEN EYES PALETTE COBALT

I like that what you see is what you get. I’ve been re discovering Loreal ever since my pregnancy and now I’ve fallen in love with their eye shadows too. What caught my eye when I saw this palette was the highlight shade. It isn’t a stark white shimmer color but rather it blends beautifully with my skin color and I like how the shadows are so easy to apply.Packaging rocks too.

** I did a review on the Loreal Super Liner when I first bought it. I didn’t like it at all the first week because the formula was so thin but after a weeks worth of testing, the formula thickened and it’s been great. Only issue is I wish it were waterproof. That would make it perfect!

 

CANMAKE DUAL SPARKLE COLOR 01 & 05:

I love the shimmer in Canmake dual sparkle color 01 and 05. They make lovely brown bases and apply smoothly. Gotta do a look with these soon!

 

ROWENTA FLAT IRON:

I was eyeing a flat iron online during the black friday sales but unfortunately, the voltage isn’t compatible. Hence, I ended up at Watsons getting this much cheaper hot iron that actually heats up to 230 and curls or straightens pretty well. I like that you can adjust the temperature too. The flat iron brands in Watsons are so limited, whenever are they going to bring in GHD or CHI. Come on, I’m waiting….

Anyways, I’ve got some festive looks  and a giveaway coming up !!

heme skincare Review

I was contacted a month ago to do a skincare review for HEME products.

I have never heard of this brand prior to testing and have only come to know of it when I was generously sent 6 HEME products to test out. I gave myself a good month long to test out these products

A little background on HEME first:

Heme International Inc. was established in March 2003. They focus on manufacturing skincare products for young Asian men and women around the age of 20 to 35. The name 'Heme' comes from the combination of the words, He & Me, which means the best skin solution for both young females and males.( From http://www.heme.com.sg/ )

* SHE, a very popular Taiwanese girl group is endorsing this brand of skin care which is targeted especially towards a younger market. To be frank, I have always thought that Taiwanese girls have really good skin and I do enjoy made in Taiwan Masks.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:

I like the look, packaging and the masks from the 24hr hydrating rose very much. I think they are actually suited not just for the younger population but also older individuals with oily skin.

The rose scents in the facial creams feel especially soothing for me but some individuals may find it a little too strong for their liking. 

The products aren’t cheap but the price of HEME products, especially the masks and 24 hour hydrating white night jelly, reflects the quality. Recommended for individuals with non sensitive skin type and oily skin.

24hr Hydrating Rose Masks Reviews:

Impressions: I really like this mask and so does my mom. I’ve never used a mask with a neck lift type mask before so this was new to me. Skin feels hydrated and taut after use.

Impressions: Of all the masks, this is easily my favorite. I used it after suffering from eye irritation after using Rimmel Liquid Eyeliner and I loved the soothing effect it had. I love the butterfly shaped mask as it’s larger surface area meant my entire eye region was soaking up the goodness.

24hr Hydrating Sparkling White Mask
This contoured 10-minute facial mask slips on luxuriously to bring concentrated hydrating and brightening benefits to one’s skin. It is infused with an intensive treatment that rapidly penetrates skin and helps fight darks pots, freckles and uneven skin tones.

24hr Hydrating Rose Facial Creams Reviews:

24hr Hydrating Detox-White Night Jelly
This moisture rich night jelly is specially formulated to instantly hydrate skin. It also improves the skin’s ability to retain water overnight for a more intense treatment and repair. It will let one wake up the next morning with brighter and smoother skin.

How to Use: Apply onto face and gently massage in a circular motion in the morning and in the evening.
Size: 40ml

Impressions: This moisturizer is a little too rich for me. Post pregnancy, my skin is no longer as dry and I have to be careful as it makes my skin feel oilier. Try this only if you have dry and non sensitive skin.

This is an intensive hydrating and brightening serum for dehydrated skin. It helps prevent fine lines, wrinkles and repairs skin imperfections and discolorations while moisturizing the skin at the same time. It also gives the skin a luminous glow.

Prom Makeup

My little sister is no longer little. She’s 16 and her prom night is tonight! I spent the entire afternoon doing her gyaru inspired makeup and now that I’ve had time to sort he pictures and reflect on the day, I’ve come to realize that she’s no longer the little sister who would follow me around everywhere…. … yes I do miss my younger sister being little but today is her day after mugging so hard for her o levels and I wish her all the best

Prom makeup for young girls should be fun and full of energy. She has a light dusting of powder to keep oiliness at bay and bronzer to highlight her tanner complexion. Her eyebrows are untouched ( she never wants to trim it ) and her eyes are smoked to the max.

Sasa False eyelashes + Loreal Hip Duo platinum ( amazing color pigmentatioN!) + Physicians Formula Baked Sands for highlighting and brow bone area. MAC viva glam gaga for the lips.

Overall, I hope she enjoys her prom night and doesn’t time just fly by? She used to be my cute little sister. Now she’s all grown up ~~ sigh…

ulzzang FOTD & Mini Sasa Haul!

Here’s what I bought from Sasa a few days back – Top and bottom falsies . These are eyelashes are the best I’ve tried from Sasa. The band is not too soft and they are very easy to apply. I got the black eyelash glue by darkness( works better than DUO adhesive for me) and Sasa heated eyelash curler. Hoping that the heated lash curler will make my lashes look super curled. I really hope it works!!

 

~~~ Here’s my ulzzang look of the day!

Take care everyone! I have a sponsored skincare review coming up soon and I’m currently working on a giveaway for you guys! Thks so much for taking the time to read my blog!

Droopy eyeliner Technique for Bigger Rounder Eyes

 

A lot of Japanese Eye makeup styles have been employing the use of extending the upper eyeliner downwards past the corners of the eye to give an elongated and wider eye shape. I like this technique so much because you can control how intense or natural you want it to look.

I actually paired this droopy eyeliner look with brown eye shadow and false eyelashes that aren’t too dramatic. I also apply my falsies further away from the inner corners of my eyes and more towards the center of my lid. The falsies help to conceal the extended eyeliner at the corners and gives the appearance that eyes are naturally bigger!

By drawing my upper eyeliner past my corners, I have to connect my outer lower eyeliner further down from my lower lash line, thus leaving a space btw the lower lash line and the drawn eyeliner.  This gap is excellent for people who have tiny eyes and want to make it appear rounder because it gives the illusion of bigger eyes.   If you want to dolly this look up further, get a really good pair of lower lashes ( dollywink lashes would work perfectly) and apply it onto the lower eyeliner.

A tip ** If you want it dramatic, use a dark liquid eyeliner, if you want it natural looking, use a soft brown pencil eyeliner or neutral eye shadow colors.

Try this out and have fun with bigger eyes

2 more days to the weekend!! ~~
