Fairydrops is a japanese mascara that is super well known in Japan. I had some ebay dollars from my camera purchase of last year and decided to use it on this mascara.
I’ve only started using it this april…and it lasted until today! I really like this mascara. Not only it has a very fun packaging, it performs very well! It makes my lashes real dark and thicker looking.
However, its price point is not as appealing as my favorite mascara, L’Oreal Voluminous. I would say both are very similar in terms of performance. So…L’Oreal Voluminous wins again!!
Other than trying out a new mascara…something exciting happened in my beauty world!
DUM….
DUM….
DUM………..
YES!!! I hit pan on my NARS Laguna bronzer!! This is my 2nd make up product to hit pan on! So satisfying!! I think i still have like 3 years to go before i finish this…I think I had this bronzer back in 2009…sigh…Although I do like this bronzer very much, I am bored with it…I want to try something new! But I told myself not to be a super consumerism! To do not buy just to buy/own it! I shall finish this bronzer (or when it becomes way too passed due to be used), and then maybe get Guerlain bronzer!
Until next make up update….

Here’s a beauty post. A little break from my food entries.
I feel like venturing out after finishing a few tubes of L’Oreal Voluminous. I picked up Maybelline’s Define-A-Lash and the Falsies Flared Volum’ Express.
What’s with these long names…
I only used this mascara for a few days. Why? It was flaking like crazy… Lots of black flakes would drop under my eyes upon application. It did give my lashes volume, but I just can’t stand the flakes. I never had a mascara that would do this to me. Very disappointed.
Until later…I realized that I may have bought one that came from a bad batch because I realized how dry is the product. I think, somehow, the air went into the tube when it was packaged.
Maybe I should buy another one just to testify…however…I really don’t feel like taking the chance.
Let’s move on to our next mascara. Quite a stellar.
This mascara is not meant to give volume. Like the name states, this mascara defines the lashes. What does that mean? It gives every lash nice length and separates ever lash gracefully. This results a very clean look.
In order to have a bit more volume, I would apply multiple layers at the base of my eyelashes without completely passing through to the end of the lashes.
I really love how much length this mascara gives! 🙂
It’s been almost 4 months that I am using this…and it’s near its end as it is flaking like the falsies…Therefore, this reinforces my hypothesis that the Falsies Flared may have been dried up in the package.
Here’s my lashes with Define-A-Lash.
Little update on Maximum Eyelash Conditioner:
I’ve been using Maximum Eyelash Conditioner for 6 months now. The product is fabulous. After 2 months, in order to maintain the length, I only use the product 2-3 times per week. I did not experience any allergic reaction. The conditioner helped my lashes to grow longer but not thicker.
Sadly, it seems like the company has ceased its operations and my product is running low!
I will try another brand and hoping it will yield the same result… (I just ordered Rapidlash…let’s see how does that go)
Lashes should not be downplayed!

It’s time to say farewell to my favorite nail polish. It has become impossible to apply evenly with this nail polish. It is now so thick and dry…
At least I can have a break from the pain of removing glittery nail polishes…
Goodbye my love.

Why do companies give such a long names for their products…
My first gel liner experience is with MAC fluidline in Blacktrack. I liked it but eventually, I preferred using liquid eyeliner, Dollywink to be more precise.
So what made me purchase Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Gel Creamliner? My Dollywink eyeliner is drying up and I read some reviews about this product which made me very intrigued. They all said that it is very affordable and good! I was just very curious how does it compare with MAC (also because it comes with 3 colors!)
They are very smooth and pigmented. The quantity is more than enough at this price point. I got mine at Wal-Mart, which was on sale, slightly more than 8$ + taxes. It’s very affordable considering you are getting 3 colors!
I first tried the smudging test by doing some exercise that required some sweating. And? No smudging!
I’m actually using it everyday now. I really like it! Although, I still prefer Dollywink if I want to do a wing. I just can’t achieve a very fine line with a brush; I guess i’m just not skilled enough!
Personally, I think this gel liner performs just as well as Mac’s. So stop purchasing MAC’s and have this one instead!

I remember buying my first MAC eyeshadows back in 2009, when Mac still has a once year discount of 15%. My friends suggested that I should buy a 15 eyeshadow palette instead of a 4 eyeshadow palette because they knew I would eventually buy a lot…
Guess what? They were wrong! It is now 2012 and my palette is far from being complete!
However I recently received an addition to my MAC eyeshadows: Cranberry. My palette is one step closer to being complete!!
Cranberry has a bit of purple undertone. However, on my skin, the purple does not appear. The redness seems to be the only showing up! I’m hoping it’ll be different on my eyelids…because the reason I wanted this color was the mix of purple and red. But I’m sure if I add a hint of purple eyeshadow color on top of cranberry, it’ll be the color that I want. Therefore, all problems solved!!
