Review: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler + Maybelline Cat's Eye Mascara

Everything seems a bit better now so..
Time to back for some review.

I'll go for my eye lash curler first. I bet most girl who into make up stuff will know this. The highly raved eyelash curler that have been mention countlessly in many beauty site and magazines. This is claimed as among the most effective eyelash curler around by many make up artist.

Taken from Sephora:
==================================================================
Perfectly measured and finely balanced, the new shu uemura Eyelash Curler is designed to ensure superior functionality and performance. The upgraded silicone pad in a new "mushroom" shape provides a protective, stay-put edge for improved safety and optimum curl. The new, patented hinge is specifically engineered to apply the perfect amount of pressure on eyelashes. The calculated shape, size of frame length and ergonomic handles ensure stability and control, while the curved angle suits all eye shapes.
===================================================================

The retail price? USD19 from US retail online shop or RM55~RM60 from local Shu uemura kiosk, and I know it might sound a bit too much for just an eyelash curler. There is lots of people out there who willing to purchase this with this hefty price and even repurchase it once it is worn out. But I know Im not. Hey! RM60! You kidding me? Im not even working and with that ammount of money, I can splurge on delicious food or pamper myself with other cheaper beauty stuff. I can even bought one album of my favorite j-pop cd. So, RM60 for just a curler is a no no for me which I decided to search for a cheaper deal.

Some LYN seller are selling this for only RM40++ but, nah.. I want to get it for cheaper price so there you go..ebay shopping. Bidding can start from USD0.99 but of course it is impossible to win at such price. If you are lucky, you might won at USD5 which is seldom happened. After have been outbid for at least 6 times, finally I won this at USD7, including registered shipping from Hong Kong which is a steal. And if you worry about this item being authentic or not, I do think it is original. In fact I never heard any complain so far from people who bought from ebay saying it is fake what so ever. I also read somewhere that this curler actually can be bought at low price in Hong Kong and Japan.

So hows the result on me?

I got an average set of thin eyelash with average length. I always bought cheap curler from local drugstore before and I always hate the L shape as the result. With this curler, I can say that the result is satisfying and it easier to use this compare to other lash curler. I believe it might work better for people with long lashes.

This is how my bare eyelash before curling.
The after


It is recommended that the eyelash is coated with mascara after curling to avoid any damage. So Im using my Maybelline Cat's eye mascara as this is my only mascara at the moment. Honestly I hate this mascara. It do volume but not so much on lengthening. It clumps a lot and very hard to remove. The only good thing is I can guarantee that this mascara wont smudge at all. I bought this after the SA told me that it is on sale, and without thinking much I grab it and now i regret.


Anyway, this is how it look like with mascara.

before and after

Overall I love the curler. Ohya, it came with another extra rubber pad as the replacement once the existing one is worn out. Take note that Shu uemura never sell the pad separately you might need to repurchase whole curler once both pad already worn out and according to them it is recommended to replace the curler after few months of usage. But I guess this will stay with me for year since I seldom wear make up. If I need to repurchase again, it would be from ebay again. Anyway I heard elf 1 dolar eyelash curler can deliver the same result as this. Maybe I should try that too next time since 1 dolar is really a steal.

And for the mascara. I wont ever repurchase again. I just hate the clumps. You really need a lash brush if you want to use this. It clumps everywhere for me. However I still give you some face as you never smudge me at all.


I still give u face for not smudging.

Bla bla bla..

Usual place Jusco Equine park, just to buy some hostel stuff for my bro. And since nobody want to follow, I just shop alone...BORINGGG~~~ Then my eyes lingering around couples clinging hand, I was like..ahhhh am I single or wad?? I want to be like that too T__T Nvm..enuf about the caveman.

Anyway, I hate going out without treating myself with something. So I just bought these:

New CLEO mag and face wrap or whatever it calls. Yeah, I really need that face wrap. All this while I only wear this weird looking headband to hold my hair when cleaning my face, which is this:
Im not kidding okay~ In fact I got another one with white ears but I misplaced it somewhere in my room.

Any goodies with CLEO? Nah..not much..
Just some soap sample and coupons that only can be claimed at selected counters, bleh!!

CLEO is my must buy mag..Well, not because of those fashion stuff that mostly I cant afford to buy, but mainly because of those life related discussion which is interesting to read in my opinion. So whats in CLEO this month?

Hope I dun have any worst date

Test yourself question

Calorie talk

I need this. I think my bedroom is like a store room now.

Good timing. I got this syndrome towards my dear too.

Him say. One of my fav section

Great, at least I got a new mag to keep myself busy during this "caving" season, right?

Smile please~ be happy!

Im not playing with my words

When I said to you Im depressed, means Im really depressed. If I told you Im eating sleeping pills, means I really eat those pills, in fact Im actually sick right now because I started loose my appetite and skip meals. When I said I need to talk, means I really need to talk. When I say I miss you, means I really miss you. Everytime I said I love you means I really love you. This 3 words I strictly only said for people that I got my heart on.

Dear, I want you to know that I never joke with my words, I never play with those word just to grab your attention. I really mean it. It hurt me when you never respond for all that I said. It puzzled me when you asked me to stop asking so much question. I asked with my reasons. I asked cos of ur moody attitude that leads you to your ignorance. It hurt me when you signing out without telling me as if Im invisible. It hurt me a lot. Honestly speaking I never feel as hurt as this before. Sometimes I really hope if you read all this, because I know you wont listen to this crap when you are inside your own cave.

My only strength for you is when you still say yes answering do-you-love-me questions. I do really hope u really mean it. And if you dont need my companion anymore in your life, just tell me nicely. I know it will hurt me deeply but playing hide and seek will hurt me as deep as well.

I dont know how many more should I cry. My eyes already swollen right now and my head is dizzy. I pity myself for having to go through all this shity stuff in relationship. My previous was shitty enaugh, so I want this time to be sweet. I guess I already tried my best.

I envy my friends who got a lovey dovey bf. You girls are lucky. While mine is.. you got your own aura which I cant explain. But I just hope you dont have pms everyweek and sometimes everyday. Im tired to deal with it. Please do care my feelings.

I shall stop soon cos Im seriously dizzy now. I ate some pills to put me in sleep, so I guess thats the reason.

And for my dearest Jaycee, you are old enough to think wad have you done to this weak girl here. You admit your mistake, but only admit isnt enaugh, it should came with an action to cure everything, not just keep repeating the same thing. Dont expect me to swallow all the shit u give me. Maybe I should give you some break to think. You cant continuously abusing me like this.

Last but not least, I still love you regardless of all things that you done to me. I know people might called me stupid, but wadever, maybe I am..

Till then, goodnight.

When an advice isnt necessary right

I got an overprotective parent, especially my mum. They observe most of my activity, and control it. They will shoot me with a lot of question everytime I want to go out and they will ask what stuff I bought everytime there is parcel come to the house. My mum also dont like any idea like me going somewhere with my friend, leave alone staying overnight at other place. She will throw sets of question and a lot of negative consequences if me going out, like wad if I got into accident, wad if I got cheated, wad if this wad if that. Ok, I understand its for my own good, so Im kinda fine with it. While my dad, he will start being noisy when it comes to money. Bills is his main concern and sometimes he blame it with computer and laptop, even I believe majority of the electricity bills came from the 29 inch and big lcd tv in living room and masterbedroom which are turned on most of the time when my parent are awake. He even complaining if my hp bills reached RM30. But whatever, it his money so I guess he can complain wadever he want. They also control my social life like with who I befriend with. I admit this sometimes affect some of my past relationship with friends, and I know I might unintentionally hurt some of them thus destroyed the friendship which I do regret at times. About my hobby and interest, most of them received negative feedback from my parent. I used to be cute stuff sucky, they said it waste of money. True and I gradually stop. I used to be a hardcore online gamer, they said it waste of time and not good. Yeah, really true and I already quit those games already. I love to self karaoke, my mum said it noisy and its a useless thing. Ok fine, now I only sing once in a while with my room's door and window shut. I love to buy cd from Japan online and goodies from certain singer as collection. They said it so waste of money and time collecting stuff like this. Ok, I less buying now and even I did I try to make it as secret as possible.

However, my patience still have some limits and it started to irked me up when they complaining to all the things that Im doing. Nowadays, Im so into beauty stuff to maintain or repair my skin and start to put some make up when go out. They do complain seeing parcel come once in a while into my doorstep. Im still fine with it. But then when today my mum complain about me put makeup on and give me this harsh statement "u wear make up, u think u so pretty? you look old and make people cant recognized you", I feel a bit hurt especially by the first statement as it almost killing my confidence that I built by make up. I know Im not pretty but I know my appearance look better with some light make up. I dont know if it make me look old or what but I noticed less people call me "akak" during shopping or wadever. (damn I always hate those auntie in stalls or shop call me akak when they obviously is in their 30s, can you just call me cik or miss like most chinese promoter did?) People cant recognize me? Maybe I look different just because recently I start to wear contact lense after hiding my eyes behind glasses for the pass 15 years. Seriously, is it wrong for non-good looking like me to wear make up? Is it wrong to improve my shabby appearance? Why you must give me that blunt statement just because you are not happy with most of things that Im doing. Please, I need my own space for my stuff.

Im sorry mum, this time I cant swallow that "advice" of yours. I love you but I do hope you can be more positive and supportive towards me rather than being negative all the time. I really need it. I know I might not right all the time but it doesnt mean that Im wrong all the time while you are the one who always right.

Funny home waxing video

I was looking for epistick (tools for removing facial hair) videos in youtube and bumped into this video. Its not about epistick but its about hair waxing. This girl was trying a new waxing product that she bought from Australia and the result is... WOW. The video really cracked me up and I was burst into laugh even my sis was sleeping..sorry but I just cant help it. Lol.

Credits for the video owner for this hilarious video and I hope you dont mind Im sharing it here =)
Hope you all can enjoy this video too >_<

Review: Shahnaz Hussain Kajal Eyeliner

I was searching for a good but cheap eyeliner as a replacement for my Silkygirl auto pencil eyeliner which is suck as it keeps breaking. So finally I came across this on LYN.


The reviews from others were quite good, same goes for the reviews from MUA. Even Lolipop26, one of famous youtube makeup guru review also made a video about this thing and gives it a good rate. I also love the reviews about it is good for people who like to do tightline.

So, what about my review?
I bought this from ebay India since the price is cheaper compared to LYN, and they used registered mail to ship the item which is quite good. It came with a cheap looking black stick with a small mirror.

It looks like lipstick packaging. A "cone" will appear after I twisted it out. The cone texture is creamy black.

Its quite tricky to wear this actually! The "original" way from middle eastern is by put it in the inner corner of the eye, close your eye and glide it between your tightline and water line. It feels like Im poking my precious eye (seriously).A good hand control is necessary!

OUCH!! Nah..its not painful. Just feel uncomfortable. Poking our eye is never been comfortable right?

1st layer

2nd layer. I know my make up skill suck.

I used normal drawing slowly method for the right eye.

Tada!!
(Ohya, I never wear any base wadsoever for both eye. Its completely bare face!)

It creates a smudgy effect which is very good for those who like smokey eye.

The downside? It smudge a LOT after awhile. I keep worrying whether I already become a panda when wearing this and always want to check my eye which is quite annoying. Ish!

Without any base or "supporter", it will smudge in no time. Yucks~

However, the smudging problem can me minimized by taping some loose powder on the area or layer it with black eyeshadow or other black gel eyeliner at the outer rim of the eye.

Overall, this might be a good product but smudging too easily is a bit turn off. It probably wont suit people with too oily face (especially eye area) people who always had watery eyes. Some people claims that it wont smudge even they need to wet their eye as contact lens user, so I guess it depends on person.

I'll just rate this 2/5. I wish it doesnt smudged easily.

Lousy seller

Im very pissed off with this seller. Really ruined my plan. My story started when I was searching for "this thing" which I need within a time frame, over the net. Actually, this item was still in stock around one week ago at one lyn seller, but I wasnt intend to buy it back then. So when finally, I decided to buy it, its already out of stock, and I late only by one day T_T.. So, nvm, I tried to get it from other seller. Saw it and it doesnt mark as oos item, but when I asked the seller, she also said this item out of stock. Ok, fine even a bit dissapointed.

So after further searching at LYN brings no avail, I started to search from other source, including this famous chinese forum called jbtalk. I use google translate to explore and finally find the item and it without out of stock mark. So with my friend, Nanako aka middlewoman help me as translator, the seller told us that she got stock for that item, even its not the exact color that I want.Since the color is similar, so Im fine with it and told the seller that I want it, but one shit thing happen so we asked the seller if we can make the payment on monday, but incase she want immediate payment, I will just straight pay for it. No respond at all from seller. The next day, we leave the message again that we want to pay for the item already, plus request the total ammount to double confirm before make payment (since she never did give us any total price confirmation wadsoever) but then still no reply from this seller. And finally on the next day, she replied us telling that the thing already out of stock, only left color that I dont want. I was so bloody dissapointed and Nanako query her how come suddenly no stock, since we already said want to purchase. And that lousy seller blame us saying why so late pay. Hello?? We already said that we want to buy this and was waiting for her snail respond about the payment, and now she blame us for her own mistake?? How can we just straight sent the payment without her confirm all total price plus account number. I know she got put her acc number on the front page but some seller didnt update their page thats why confirmation is necessary right? Every other seller will give confirmation to their customer before paying. Its fine if she just say sorry about her slow respond or inaccurate information wadsoever but blaming us for "late payment" is unacceptable, so Nanako shoot her back, and she goes silent after that. Its indeed her mistake. And because of her, now I need to search for the item all over again T_T.

Ish, hope I wont meet this kind of seller again. Argggh!!

Yay~ my dad is back

So my dad finally back from Hong Kong as he promised, harmless. Lol. I guess I really got over-thinking about those bad guys wadsoever. Hahaha.. He didnt brought any gift, but he brought a box of mini lokum. And its really sweet ~_~ Ahh..Im sucky at mandarin orange.

This box going to get empty in few days.

RUILONG HANG, L size (but it looks like S to me)

Wow, it looks like golden lokum here.

Looks ordinary but Im glad it taste sooo sweet.

Anyway, my mum found back her black sunglasses, so yay~ I no need to buy new one. Save my 20 bucks. Great.

Oopps, Im being offtopic, but who cares since this is my blog? =P

Friday

Its Friday today. Hopefully my dad will be back from Hong Kong like what he told us before he left. Ish, its really worrying seeing him going to Kowloon alone with that unknown guy. Seriously. So many bad people in this world. Who knows if that guy is one of them. Last night I heard news about some Iranian got caught in airport because of bringing drugs inside backpack. That reminds me about some unlucky Malaysian who now stuck on jail in overseas because of being trap by Iranian people. Thinking about it freaked me out.

Hope my dad will be back safely. Argh..too many things to worry about. Dad, study, money, boyfriend, fats (lol). I will get crazy soon =_=''

New application submited

Today is the last day for Bachelor program application for public university. This time I only choose those course that I think I am capable of plus whatever that interest me. I dont want to just blindly choose like what I did last time causing me being ditched in Material Technology course and now Im wasting my precious six month just to apply for new course. Lesson learnt.

I hope the application will succeed. I dont care if I got into science unrelated course, as long as I got chance to to score the best and most importantly, with huge job scope. I dont want to end up being a low grade science graduate running whole Malaysia just to find a job with RM1k + salary. Thats what I called pathetic. (p/s: Im not refering this to anyone so please dont get offenced)

I hope everything goes well. I cant wait to study again, graduate and holding my very own money. Thats certainly a happiness.

Something that I need to worry..

Today, my mum and bro said my dad will depart to Hong Kong with his "business partner" Fendi today for some work. I honestly dont really trust this Fendi guy. My dad always mention to me and family that he got some sort of project , I not sure land project or whatever but he said it is big. But Im still worry what if, if that Fendi just trap my dad to do something illegal and cause something bad happen to my dad? Somemore now he wan bring my dad go to Hong Kong. Anything can happen. I start to think so much again. I really hope nothing bad will happen..

New layout

After using charcoal layout for quite a long time, I think it is time to change to a new face. Plus I got several complain from some people who reading my blog that my blog is hard to load. I assume it is because of the old layout, so here is the new one.

But before you all saying that I am a fan of Twilight, I would like to strictly state that I am NOT. This is only a temporary of having that huge twilight image as the headings since it already set in the xml code. I was only interested with the headings frame without the twiling image and the body. So what am I going to do is requesting someone who is pro in photoshop to create a new header for my blogs replacing those white vampires.

There are still a lot to edit, but since its already 1.20am and Im not in good mood, I think I'll just do it tomorrow or the next day. Till then, please do enjoy the vampires header while it still last~~
