Reviews

I know I promised to do some product reviews but till now, I've still not done it. So, finally, I'm going to do it now.

For the last 2 to maybe 3 weeks, I've been using a new eyeliner and mascara. Kate Superfine eyelinerand the Majolica mascara. The first time I used the Kate Superfine eyeliner, I felt abit apprehensive. After all, the brush tip does looks intidimating, worse of all it's liquid! What if it smudges and all? Then I end up looking like Ms Panda eyes! However, finally I pluck up enough courage to try it out...

But after the first stroke... woo hoo. I like! The first stroke is the hardest, they say and they are right! Since there is no prior line to follow, I can only agar agar and draw. But it really helps as the tip of the brush is so fine and soft! Yet the color is not as dark as I imagined it to be. So it's not that bad. So normally, after the first stroke, I'll add a second, sometimes even a third! It's so easy to handle the pen and best of all, the color does not smudge, only thing is, I must remember to hold the lid for just a few more seconds as compare to using the pencil kind.

Next, I tried the MM Mascara. Some reviews that the mascara can lengthen the lashes up to 15 times! Really!

But it did not have that kind of effect on me. Yes, it does lengthens nicely. But not to 15 times, such exaggeration!

What I really like about the mascara, is that instead of the usual brush, this comes in a comb. So it's much much easier to jiggle those lashes! And to reach the corner ones too!

Since, I've been a bush mascara person all along, initially I did find it hard to adapt to this new one. And many a times, I brush the mascara into the underside of my lid and that kind of irritates my eyes the whole day. But putting on mascara takes practice and after just 2,3 days, I manage to get the hang of it and now I can put it on effortlessly! =)

What I really really like about this mascara is that just 1 coat, and my lashes becomes soooo much longer! Really, when I first started, I used 2 coats and my lashes felt too heavy and the mascara seems too thick too! So I used 1 coat and VOILA! The end result is fabulous! I love it!!!

I don't think I'm going to change my eye liner and mascara anytime soon since I really like the ease of use. BETTER yet, the price is sooooo reasonable! It's less than $18 per piece and it produces wonderful results!

Now, this IS really cheap and good!

However, despite it being so good and definitely smudge proof, there's a problem. My usual Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil is not effectively able to remove all the eyeliner and mascara. Now, that is a big problem! I realised that my lids were beginning to get darker by the day... and my beautician actually commented how come my lids kept getting darker... suddenly it clicked and I guess it's because the mascara and eyeliner is staining my skin as I must not have washed everything off proberly. SO I must have a more effective eye make up remover. But I don't like the loreal nor maybeline ones since those have a rather high alcohol content.

Went to Tomatoe in AMK and the SA there recommended me this.

Make up removed from Korea.Obviously, I cannot even remember the name of this thing la. But I'm using it now and it works. Just wet the cotton pad, placed it over the eye area, let it soak up a bit then proceed to clean off the make up. Best of all, that same pad can be used for both eyes, so 1 bottle like that can go a long way, I gather.

There's actually a layer of oil and water, so got to shake it up well before using, the SA assured me that even though there's oil in it, it will not give me those oil seeds around the corner of my eyes.

Since I cannot find anything else, I decided to give it a try. I was of course not willing to take it up as this little bottle costs $28!!! That's expensive to me!

But for the sake of my skin, I guess I have to do it. Hence, I did and no regrets since. Of course after using this, I still use my Fancl for the rest of my face and any excess, I'll also run it over my eye lids, to be doubly sure that all traces are removed!

So far, I noticed the area at my eye lids are beginning to lighten up, no longer as dark as previous. I guess, this remover works and of course my creams are working too lor.

Anyway, my products better work mann!! I'm spending a bomb on them!!!
