Japanese Cosmetics – SANA

Do you want long lashes like this? Okay, I cheated here. As you can see, fake eyelashes are sticked on.

But to have it so curvy, you need to curl it after you paste the eyelashes on. Remember to also apply some mascara after the curls.

The two items that I will be review are

– SANA EX-LASH Curl & Volume Mascara ($24.90)

– SANA Powerstyle Eyelash Curler ($17.90)

I like the mascara a lot because it is not as cloggy as the other mascara outside and neither is it hard to remove despite being waterproof.

I hate it when the entire eyelid becomes heavy and black due to the application of some mascara. But for EX-Lash, the fiber are ultra light weight, so you can keep applying them again and again but you can’t feel a single thing. It can lengthens and add volumes to your lashes. I love the lengthening part!

Look at the slim glamour brush. It makes application easier and smoother. Just one brush onto your lashes makes it look more volumized and longer.

 

After the application, remember to curl it up to give your eyes a more dolly look. Because EX-lash contains W-Peptides, the curls can last longer as it firmly keeps the lashes upwards. Just curl it with Powerstyle Eyelash Curler and the curls can last up to an entire day. The curler has a spring that helps the lashes to curl without the need of you applying strength and the silicon rubber is specially molded in a way where it will not hurt the eye.

No lumpy lashes, no heavy lashes, no hard-to-remove mascara!

 

Without application:

 

With application:

With a single stroke, I can see obvious lengthening effect already! Of course, with more strokes, come longer and thicker lashes!

The mascara also contains 2 types on serum – Biotin Tripeptide-1 and Olio Peptide-24 which has repairing and protection properties. By the way, they also provide the lashes moisture and keeps the lashes healthy. What we want last is unhealthy lashes from all the makeup, right?

It is already available in stores if you are interested. SANA EX-Lash Curl & Volume Mascara is exclusively available only at SASA stores but you can find the curler at Tokyu Hands, BHG and John Little as well 🙂

When you spend more than $37 on SANA’s products, you can get the curler at only $3.70!! While stock lasts!

Etude House Lash Perm All Shockcara

maybeline

Another pretty product from Korea for review.

And it’s non other than the highly raved brand – Etude House!

Bling bling Packaging.

This mascara has 4 different unique selling points as compared to other mascaras.

1. Highly elastic pink spiral brush

Most mascara brushes are literally bushy brushes but Lash Perm All Shockcara has 4 way pink spiral brush with highly elastic bumps that makes surreal eyelashes.

This little thin brush can give you both volume and curls.

2. Super Fitting Technology

Autoagglutination powder can volumes, lengthens and curls the eyelashes by increasing the adhesiveness between lashes and mascara.

3. Zero-smudging, Waterproof

Back to point 2, despite the increase in adhesiveness, you don’t have to worry about it smudging onto your eyelids at all. The all proof wrapping system strongly protects swear, water and oil by preventing them to get inside the mascara which can last up to 12 hours.

However, it can be easily removed by cleansing with warm water. I tired removing it with my milk cleanser and it works well for me even with normal tap water.

4. Lash Perm All Shockcara has Black Hole Pigment

This can help to express clearer and deeper eye.

Take a look at the Carbon Black Pigment below and compare it with the Black Hole Pigment on the right, clearly, which pigment gives a brighter and darker eye?

The answer is clear. Yes, the Black Hole Pigment.

Nuff said. Let’s give it a go and put it to test!

With a gentle application of Lash Perm All Shockcara VS No Mascara.

The length and volume was visibly increased even with a gentle application. I don’t like too dramatic eyes so I would pretty a natural look.

As for the curls, I didn’t curl it up with any eyelash curler but you can clearly see that it is curling upwards in the picture.

Alright, Lash Perm All Shockcara has passed the test!

All in one perfect mascara for volumizing, curling, lengthening and waterproof. YAY!

KATE Spring Summer 2013 Collection

maybeline

I love love love love to try out new make ups or colors!

And have you already seen KATE Spring Summer 2013 Collection in stores yet? I have!!The launch was held few weeks ago and yes, a picture with my favorite bloggers again 🙂

KATE, when we talk about KATE, the first colour that comes to my mind is black. Yes, and so were their flowers. Black and Gold, what a bold and classy combination.

The eyeshadow – Goldish Eyes is retailing at $27 per palette.

As you can see, it comes in 4 shades. I was given the one with blue eye shadow. Each set comes with Soft beige and Deep Brown.

Soft beige – A highlighter for the whole eyelid
Deep brown – Emphasizes the contours of the eyes.

The shimmers creates a look suitable for dinner or date. And do not worry about the colour as it is not as intense as you see in the picture. It was probably due to the lightings that made the gold look darker.

Other than the eye shadows, they have also Shiny Eyelid Liner ($20.50), Mat Black Gel Eyeliner ($25.50), Lash Extension Mascara ($25.50) and Brightening Makeup Base ($20.50).

As the name says, the mascara gave a lengthening effect on your lashes. If you are looking at volumizing, this is definitely not the choice for you. The mascara gives a more natural look than a dramatic look.

KATE Concealing Cover Powder Foundation is available at $34 and its casing at $14.50.

KATE Brightening Makeup Base can hide all the flaws that are easily visible on your face (like your pores and wrinkles *that is if you have any*).

When it comes to eyeliner, pencil eyeliner is DEFINITELY out for me because it smudge way too easily on my face, and I am a regular liquid eyeliner user. Hence, applying gel eyeliner would be a little hard for me but gel eyeliner is famous for staying in place (SMUDGE-FREE) even after a whole day.

Eyeliner need not necessary be applied to the upper eyelid but the bottom eyelid as well.

I am not sure if you can see it in this picture but focus on the left face, bottom eyelid. The liner was only applied halfway instead of the whole stretch because I didn’t want it to be too loud.

Very useful for people who are into the Korean/Japanese look!

The collection is available in BHG, Guardian Pharmacy, Watsons, SASA and other leading departmental stores from May 2013 onwards.
