Some of the mascaras which I have tried:
1) Loreal Double Extension Mascara
2) Fasio Mascara Base and Hyper Stay Mascara Shock Free Curl
3) Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara
and even the latest one which I bought from Rimmel failed to show me results.
4) Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara
Of the four, I would say I like the Maybelline and Rimmel ones the most because the Maybelline one can separate each lashes beautifully and its easy to remove but it smudges easily. The Rimmel one gives the most volume and curl among all and I liked the fact that the brushes are curved for easy application. However, it smudges easily too. As for the Fasio and Loreal ones, I didnt liked it because it makes eyelashes look clumpy which equates to a heavy look so they are definitely a no-no.
Alright, back to my Holy Grail Mascara, Beautify Transplanting gel and natural fibre.
Why do I call it my Holy Grail Mascara? Because..
1) It does not clump
2) It really lengthens my short eyelashes
3) It gives volume
4) It doesnt smudge any all when I was out for the entire day!
5) Its easy to remove (just use warm water)!
I first discovered this when my cousin, Ebony asked me to do her makeup for Chinese New Year &my Aunt passed me her Dior makeup palette and Beautify Transplanting gel and natural fibre. And I was sold because the effects could be seen and its really pretty. Dont believe me? Check out the pictures below.
Check out those long lashes on the middle of her left eye and sides of the right eye.
I love the way I did her eyes.
Products used:
1) Dior palette
2) Beautify Transplanting Gel and Natural Fibre
3) Maybelline's Pink Please Lipstick (my all-time favourite)!
4) NYX Round Lipgloss in Whipped (A nude color which I apply on top of lipstick everytime)
I knew I had to get it so I went online to search for it but to my disappointment, its not available in Singapore.
To my surprise, my Aunt surprised my cousins and I with one each on my Grandpa's birthday! Oh my, I absolutely love it! Thank you Aunt. (:
And so.. I did my makeup today using it. Here are the pictures. I only did my left eye so that you would be able to see the difference and compare.
Pardon me for my messy and stray hair for I just came out from a bath.

And my newly-painted nails! It does look prettier in real life. Speaking of which, I am starting to doubt the ability of my camera. It is starting to fail me. Could it be planned obsolesce? I certainly hope for because I wouldnt want to get a new camera for the decision making process can totally kill me. I want a DSLR. But but.. its too heavy for me. I cant even take the weight of a few more books, let alone a DSLR and lens.
So here they are..
My nails in Sally Hansen's Blush Rush (:
And today.. I went to Sephora wanting to get Too Faced Shadow Insurance. But they run out of it. Can you believe it? I was so so so sad. Both outlets. Can you imagine it? They would be restocking soon so I think I'm gonna lay my hands on it soon, hopefully. Tried the Paul&Joe eye base but it was so cakey. Its more like concealer. I like the Too Faced one because it glides on smoothly. Matt and neutral color finish. Blends well with skin tone.
And, guess what? I finally received my NYX purchase! YAYS. All the way come Uncle Sam. Am so so so happy and excited when I received it.
All of my current NYX
Okay, something happened while I was trying to get the lipstick out. Because normally if you take out the cap, you should be able to see the lipstick. But on my first attempt, this was what I saw.
So I thought maybe I should twist and see if anything would happen. &Indeed it smudged and broke the top part of the lipstick. And gosh, I was so sad. Before you start saying that I am stupid by breaking the top part. But mind you, i kept tugging and twisting but the top part just wont come up. Other that than, I was very satifised with all of the products. Luckily the lipstick which I broke was in deep red with shimmer. Its one of the colors which I like the least among all but still favoured because its highly-pigmented plus the shade did look good.
This was how my poor lipstick looked.
Swatches of the NYX round lipstick. Its scary how much fine lines I have at the back of my palm. :X

The lip glosses were pretty too. However, I was a little disappointeed in the nude pearl shadow. It was more gold than beige or neutral. But otherwise, I think I would be ordering from them again.
Lastly, I get so fascinated that none of my lipstick colors look alike. I cant imagine how did they do it. They may look similiar but are not 100% identical.
