Etude House Proof 10 Mascara Review.




The Etude house has really made me change my perspective towards them again !
They have totally won my heart once more. 



I actually adore quite a few stuff from Etude, 
and the Etude House Proof 10 Mascara is going to be one of them too now (:



I got this as a birthday present which I think 3 years ago and I haven't used it until recently. 
I'm real good at keeping stuff, trust me. 



I am not quite sure if it's still available in the market, 
but I think they still do? 
Anyway, the price selling online is around $13.90 SGD. 



Etude House Proof 10 Mascara: Super washable. 

Some korean words that I don't understand. 



The curled Mascara wand.




Ready? Let's do it (:





Bare eyes without mascara.
One coat of Etude House Proof 10 Mascara !





Pros:

Simple but pretty packaging. 
Not cheap looking don't worry (:


Curled mascara wand.
This is my first curled wand and I love it! 
It makes application easier and less messy.



Volume NO ; Length YES. 
Although it says it provides volume, 
but I think it gives more of the length. 
Very very pretty and noticeable, clump-free long lashes ! 



Long last hours. 
I wore this recently on a trip to Bintan (being outdoor and to the beaches),
the curl stayed in place entirely 
and it DID NOT smudge at all ! 



Affordable.
Yes I believe so.  






Cons:

Watery consistency.
Takes a bit longer than my usual mascara to dry up. 
But I can totally live with that. 




Slightly hard to remove. 
As it stated that it's waterproof, 
it makes sense that it's a lil hard to totally remove the mascara.
However, a few cotton pads filled with eye-makeup remover should work (:








Would I repurchase? 

Yes !






* PS: 

As I feel that it doesn't provide me with sufficient volume, 
I've decided to coat my lashes with a layer of my favourite mascara, 
and then lengthens it with Etude House's Proof 10 Mascara !
AND I LOVE THE EFFECT !




 Full n' Soft as the base and top it with Etude House Proof 10 Mascara. 






Good luck xoxox <3

Sephora Makeup Academy Palette Review


There's this really good stuff that 
I really need to recommend you girls out there to purchase !
(especially for makeup beginners !)


Received this Sephora Makeup Academy Palette from a friend as a birthday present last year ,
and I nearly fainted on the spot. 


Only by looking at the box itself makes me wanna cry 
because the colours are so pretty !


You can easily grab it at any Sephora outlets for the price of $69 SGD (if I'm not mistaken)

Alright let's do some swatches ! (;
Let's start from the Middle Wing (My fav wing) !
In the Middle Wing it consists of 72 shades of eyeshadows.
From matte to shimmer to glitter! 
You name it you have it.

This palette comes with 4 tiny brushes ! 
3 for eyeshadows and 1 for lips application.



Eyeshadow, blusher, and lips from this Sephora Makeup Academy Palette !




Pros :


Perfect if you're a beginner trying to learn makeup.
Everything you need to know is in this palette. 
Seriously, everything. 
When you have this you do not need anything else more.
You just need to improvised it yourself, 
like picking up a darker shade in the eyeshadow section to use for contouring and stuff !


Super wide variety of eyeshadows!
Just for the colour, brown, you already have so many shades to choose from!
Matte for casual day out, shimmer/glitter for dinners.
Funky colours for special occasions or Halloween? 


Very good colour pay off for the creamy eyeshadow 
Very very opaque and strong colours. 


Blusher lasted me whole day long
I used the creamy blusher as a based and top it when another layer of powered blush, 
and it seriously lasted me the entire day, no kidding. 
I love it !


Love the concealer !
The concealer did worked for me. 
I love to use the lightest shade of concealer to define my brow's shape. 


The lip colours are very opaque !
It's not those sheer types. 
Many of them are actually very strong in colour !



Cons: 

The box is too huge.
It makes it hard to carry around. 
And I don't really have a makeup table so I'll have to stuff it into my wardrobe :/


The lips colours are drying. 
I used their lip primer as a based and combined a few lip colours on my lips.
By the end of the day my lips peeled like mad :(


Limited brushes.
I still have to use my own brush set. 


Some palettes are too small.
For instance, the blusher palette is too small to allow my huge blusher brush to dip in ! 


Funky colours hardly used.
I seriously think that I will end up finish using all the neutral colours
 and the funky colours will remain untouched 





Would I repurchase? 
For it's price, I think it's pretty worth it because 
you get everything you can ever asked for in a single palette !

Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 36 Intuition



Another product from Chanel ! 
Read about my first Chanel brush set here (:
Yes, I got this from a friend for my 21st birthday too.




Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 36 Intuition.

With my favourite neutral colours !
These are gorgeous. 
(Left to Right) Top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. 



Pros:

Very very gorgeous colours.
Their eyeshadows are very pigmented and shimmery!
My favourite colours are the top left and bottom right.
It's hard to find a colour that I like to use it entirely on my lids but this colours is so
gorgeous that I can just leave house with that single colour on it. 


Perfect of the typical usual look.
Day/ night, not a problem with only these 4 colours. 





Cons:

Expensive
I think I just got the shock of my life when I googled the price just now. 
It's like $87 sgd, which is about RM225 ! :O 
That's like freaking expensive for an eyeshadow quad, 
even my Naked Palette doesn't cost that much !


Crease
Like every eyeshadow, it does crease after the entire day out.
But I have to say it's very minimal! 
And the colours do stay on. 


Kinda sheer
Don't get me wrong.
Although I said it's very pigmented, 
I still need to apply quite a few layers to reaaaally get the colour I desire during night occasions. 





Would I repurchase?

I LOVE IT ! 
But probably no because it's toooo pricey for an eyeshadow quad :/








Good luck xoxo (:

My favourite mascara from Maybelline : Full 'N Soft


I finally have time to do a review on my all time favourite mascara ! 


I remembered last year when I was in Sydney, Australia, 
I saw a wide variety of Maybelline mascara that I've never encountered before 
in Malaysia/Singapore.
I was sooo fascinated but I couldn't decide on which to get.


So I went to google "best mascara" ( or something like that)
and it appears that the Maybelline Full 'N Soft Mascara is so popular and 
has received tones of excellent reviews !
Hence, I went back to the Market City and got myself one.


I remember getting it at $8 AUD.



I got the colour " Soft Black"




And you know what? 
It turns out to be one of the best mascara that I've ever used.
And I regretted so much for buying ONE, and ONLY ONE.


BUT!!! 
I've got a friend who just got back from Australia, 
so I asked him to help to me get three of them while he was there!!!!
He bought it from Chemist at $7 AUD each.










Some of the photos of me using the Maybelline Full 'N Soft Mascara (:





Before
After ( All my natural lash, I hardly use fake lashes )





Pros :

It is really really Full (Volume) and Soft!
It looks extremely natural, 
doesn't clump your lashes.
Very suitable for casual outings or even to the beaches !


Last whole day long!
Will not smudge and the curl will stay all day longgggg.


Gives you length !
Just apply as many times as you want to easily get the length you desire .





Cons:

Dinner/clubing ?
It might not be too obvious if you wear it for night occasions.
So what I would do is that 
I'd usually use this Maybelline Full 'N Soft Mascara as a base
and top it with other mascara of mine.





Would I repurchase?

I have already stock up 3 of it. Duh??!







Go ask your friends in Australia to get it for you now !
Good luck xoxo (:
