Review: Rohto Lychee Eye Drops for Contact Lens and Rohto Z!

This is going to be a delayed review as I already using it for a year. >_<

Rohto is one of famous brand from Japan. Among their popular product is their eyedrops with a wide range of type for various use and Rohto Lychee Eye Drops and Rohto Zi are among their popular hot selling product.

I bought these two eyedrops from ebay merchant that selling products from Japan as these cant be found in Malaysia. Even some of the product can be found here in Malaysia or outside Japan, but they tends to repackaged to another container which is hmm... less cuter than what they have in Japan. I know this might sound lame, but one of the main reason why I bought these is because their super kawaii packaging. Ahh..I just love anything that looks cute. <3

This Rohto Lychee is packaged in a beautiful glittery diamond shaped pink packaging. The one that I bought comes with a love-shaped case which is for storing the diamond shaped eyedrops.

So did I like this product, other than the packaging? Yes!! I always put 2-3 drops of this when I feel my contact lens starting to dry on my eyes. Once I use it, I can feel it wet my dry eyes instantly and I can continue to wear my contact lens comfortably for another next few hours.

Next is Rohto Zi. The reason why I bought this, aside from its packaging is because I was attracted to the fact that my eyes will feel like "icy" cool once I drop in onto my eyes. When I was using this for the first time, I admit that I feel a little bit scared about the cool stingy effect that Im going to feel. Yes it stings at first, as if you put something very cool in your eyes. My eyes straight become watery due to the sting, but once the sting feelig gone, my eyes feel slightly cool, fresh and rejuvenated!

Overall Im happy with these eyedrops. I might repurchase once my stock runs out.

Review: Mandom Cleansing Express, Cleansing Gel

I finally finished my 1st bottle of Cleansing Express sebum. Initially, I was thinking whether I should just grab my 2nd bottle. But after reading a review about this being better than the cleansing lotion, I decided to give it a try.

It is a water based gel, without paraben and fragrance, which is good for sensitive skin.

The ingredient:-

Made in Japan, so the quality is assured as most item from Japan are high in quality.

Instead of removing make up using cotton pad for lotion type, for gel type, you need to apply it like how you using your facial cleanser, and rinse it with water upon using.

My experience on using this product? It can remove my face make up like bb cream, powder and blusher very well, however I got some problem in removing eye make up with this gel. It cant remove my Majolica Majorca mascara (just like the lotion), plus I had a bit of problem in removing my eyeliner especially at waterline since Im trying to avoid the gel from getting into my eye, like how we avoid cleanser foam to get into our delicate eye. So most of the time, I will use Cleansing Express Eye Make Up Remover for eye make up.

So whats my opinion for this product compare to the lotion type? Honestly, I prefer the lotion type more over this. I think by using cotton pad, we can get more control on which face area to clean especially for those harder to reach area like eyes.

Overall, this make up remover wasnt that bad, but less convenient than the lotion type. The price however is cheaper by few RM tho. You can get this at Watson, Jusco and SASA outlets.

My ratings: 6/10

Review: Mandom Beauty Cleansing Express Sebum

Actually I bought this quite awhile already. Infact, the bottle already reached the bottom XD. This is a water based make-up remover from Japan. There are 4 types of them, which is for oily skin (green), dry skin (white), anti-aging (orange) and the latest one, for sensitive skin(purple). I bought the green bottle since I have a combination, more to oily skin.

Picture taken from Mandom Beauty website. (the flower pattern are slightly different from the one that I bought)

So, my review about this product?

I love it! 1-2 squirt of this lotion on a cotton pad is just enough to remove make up from my face. You may need 2 cotton pads for thicker make up. And from the description, you can just straight go to bed without cleaning your face after using this. But I still wash my face after using this, just want to make sure my face is really clean, plus its a routine to wash my face before going to bed. However, this make up remove failed in removing my Marjolica Majorca mascara (most stubborn mascara!) . It can remove my Relian Mascara effectively tho. So most of the time, Im using this to clear all make up on my face plus using Mandom Beauty cleansing express Eye Make up Remover for my eye make up.

Plus, its free from alcohol, preservative, oil, fragant, colorant which is very good for sensitive skin.

Overall, this is going to be something that I will repurchase. For Malaysian, you can find this at Watson or Jusco. I forgot the price but I think its around RM28-RM3X something which is affordable for a huge 300ml bottle.

My rating: 7/10 (I wish it can remove my MM mascara)

Ecotools brushes haul.

Yeah, been wanting this brushes since people claims it to be among the softest brushes which never sheds, cheap, and made from synthetic fur which is good for those who sensitive towards real animal fur.

So here it is!!

TADA!!

I bought mine from ebay auction at a very cheap price which is USD12 for BOTH including shipping. I did googled around just incase there are any fake Ecotools product on ebay, but since like there are no complains about it so far. So I guess it is safe? Plus, Ecotools brushes are made from China after all.

Anyway, I love the brushes. Its really soft and I love touching it. The baby kabuki is a bit out of shape though since it got pressed in the packing. But thats alright.

If anyone interested in getting it from ebay, you can get it from this seller. You can choose to buy through "buy it now" at a fix price or through "auction" for cheaper price depends on your luck and sometimes skill, like me..lol. The shipping was fast, which is less than 2 weeks for my case. Or for those lyn shopper or Malaysian buyer, you can buy the brushes from this seller who selling it at RM35 per set (it was RM29.90 initially but the price increased due to high demand) and also no reservation. Well, she cant reserve them for me when I was outstation during Raya back then and even the post office still havent back in operation from holiday. But I guess in business, there is no compromise and time cant wait ( even in certain circumstances)? Lol. But still, she got among the best price for this brushes, even still cant beat the dirt cheap price from ebay.

So, for those who want to find a good make up brush, yet affordable, get this! Its totally worth it :)

Hada Labo Hauls and a short review!

After seeing many good reviews, plus testing from the sample given to me like months back, I finally decided to purchase some product from Hada Labo, a brand from Japan.

So, here's my pick

From left to right:
Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) Moisturizing face wash, AHA/BHA face wash, SHA Moisturizing Lotion, SHA Moisturizing Cream, SHA Moist Mist.

Well, maybe people who not familiar with Hada Labo might wonder why did I bought 2 kinds of face wash, or both lotion and cream. So here's the reason why. Im using SHA Moisturizing face wash as my daily cleanser, while the AHA/BHA face wash is a substitution for scrub, since it exfoliate skins. SHA Moisturizing Lotion act as toner, while the SHA Moisturizing cream, is obviously a moisturizer.

What about the moist mist? It is to be used whenever your skin need extra hydration while in air-cond room or anywhere, and the best thing is, it can be used over make up without melting it. Plus the size is very convenient to bring inside handbags.

As I already using some of the products for couple of weeks, Im gonna throw in some short review in this post.

The SHA face wash:
So far I like it. It doesnt make my skin dry of course due to the SHA ingredients. And it never cause any break outs to me, plus this is the only scentless face wash that Im using so far, which is great.

AHA/BHA face wash:
Love love love this. I feel my skin smoother everytime I washing my face with this product. It really exfoliate well, and I think I dont need to use any scrub anymore. Scrub always irritates my skin anyway. So this is a very good replacement over scrub. And it scentless too. But please take note that you need to use a sunscreen product incase you washing your face using this during day. Thats one of the reason why I only using this at night, since I dont really wear sunscreen, accept for my bb cream.

SHA Lotion:
Another love from SHA range. Infact, this is the best selling product for Hada Labo. 1 bottle sold every 4 seconds in Japan. Wow. I love how it hydrates my skin very well. I can feel some rough surface on my skin subsides a bit when using this lotion. But remember to pat it instead of applying it straight to the skin, because if you dont pat, it will remain sticky on your face. Like the face wash, this is scentless too.

SHA Cream:
There is another version of this product, called SHA Moisturizing Milk, which is in milky lotion form. But I heard quite of reviews saying that it can become too sticky and runny, thus I choose the new cream form instead. It not greasy at all, scentless. But dont put too much, especially for those with oily skin as it may remain sticky. This product also need to be patted on skin instead of straight applying it using your hand to our face.

Moist Mist:
Love this. My face tends to dry in air-cond room, thus this is my problem solver for my case. And it wont melt in your make up too!


Hada Labo product can be bought exclusively at Guardian for Malaysia market. I got 10% discount on my purchases so if you want to get the discounted price, you better be hurry.

And one more thing, Hada Labo that been sold in Malaysia, are made in China, instead of Japan. However, they are manufactured with high quality control, so no worries. But for those who really want it to be made in Japan, you might need to order it from Japan Spree, or purchasing it at Singapore (seems like they selling made in Japan hada labo there). Get ready to pay more though.

If you want to know more about Hada Labo product, can add their facebook for more information.

Update: After using the AHA/BHA face wash for quite awhile, I noticed that it kinda dried up my skin as Im using it frequent. And dry skin makes my skin break out. So now I guess I'll try to just use it 3 times per week and see how it goes.

Overdue haul: Circle lenses

Back then, I owned only 2 pairs of circle lenses which is XCK-105 and Barbie Super Nudy Green and thats it. But ever since I got my temporary job, I started browsing back those circle lenses shop and thread and now I think I have fall into the circle lens bandwagon once again.

So this is my few months back (thats why I called this an overdue haul) pick on circle lenses.

From left to right:
Big DM23 brown, Max Pure pink, Max Pure Brown and MX-21 Black

I also bought a few sets of lens case, or else where am I gonna put all these lenses right.

The bottles are so pretty so I think I might keep them as collection. lol.

If you wondering what are the brand of these circle lens, DM23 and Max Pure Pink are from Dueba and MX-21 is from G&G but I heard people said Dueba and G&G is a same brand.

And for my Max Pure Brown, I have no idea whether this is from Dueba or EOS, because the supplier (Jujulens) change the original label into their own label:

So now the bottle label is Jujulens, instead of (insert brand name here). In my opinion, I dont think this is a good idea, since they should at least state what is the real brand right? And they even ditch the lens name. Plus some people (like me) might want to collect the bottle with different pretty labels, instead of having 4 pairs of different lens but with same label and no specific name and brand, sounds boring right?

Just a low quality picture on how each lenses look like:

Top from left: DM23 Brown and Max Pure Pink

Bottom from left: MX-21 Black and Max Pure Brown

Anyway, I might reviewing each lens when I have time. So far Im liking all of them, especially the Max Pure series. And more big hauls on circle lens are coming soon. So stay tune. And yes I guess I am now addicted to circle lens!

Lippie Hauls: MyLipStuff and NYX

I think this is my biggest haul so far, just for lip product, at least for someone who not really a make up junkie like me.

So, here it is!

MyLipStuff.com. Its the coolest lip balm merchant in a whole world. You can choose over 400+ flavor for your lipbalms. I bet choosing flavor isnt easy. I myself spent few days just to pick my flavour. lol.

Upside Down Pineapple Cake, Shamrock Shake, Jalapeno Poppers and Twisted Melon.

The packaging is very simple, but thats ok.

All sounds yummy didnt they? Except for the Jalapeno Poppers of course which sounds rather scary. Lol.

And, how it really feels and TASTE on lips?

[Upside Down Pineapple Cake]

Im not a fan of pineapple, but why did I choose this? It because I saw a lot of good reviews on the reviews section, and all of them except 1, gave this 4 stars and above.

And now my opinion. I smell a lot of coconut in this, mix with vanilla or caramel, but cant really sense the pineapple. Honestly, its no as yummy as I thought it could be, but its not that bad. However, I wont repurchase this flavor.

Next....!

[Shamrock Shake]

I never taste the real Shamrock Shake aka minty milkshake, but this lip balms is really really good. Its minty and smells delicious. Have you ever eat Andes chocolate with mint flavor? It smells exactly like that! Just one complain, the minty feeling doesnt last long. But overall, I love this, It's my favourite among others. Might repurchase.

the most interesting one..

[Jalapeno Poppers]

People said "Jalapeno" flavours is good as lip plumpers, as you will feel hot as if you smeared the real jalapeno onto your lips, while "Jalapeno Poppers" is same as Jalapeno, but with addition of cheese flavor. And yes! Its hootttt on my lips and I can feel the tingling burning sensation. Shortly after that, my lip plumped. Cool isnt it. But the only turn off is this balm smell sour. I guess because of the cheese? Not going to repurchase this, or maybe I'll just choose "Jalapeno" next time.

[Twisted Melon]

Actually this is my sis lip balms. She dont know how to choose out of 400++ different flavors, but then she said to me that she want something fruity and minty, and I ended choose this. The melon is there, but sadly, the mint isnt really there. So, thumbs down for this. Not going to repurchase.

And honestly, the balm texture itself is good, very moisturize. And the great thing is all the ingredients to make these balmies are natural. So no chemicals added.

And for NYX.

Megashine Lip Gloss in Beige, Megashine Lip Gloss in Smokey Look, and Round lipstick in Indian Pink.

I bought the megashines from other seller from lyn while the Indian Ink was purchased together with the MLS. Im not going to review these for now since I dont have a good lighting source currently to snap swatches.

If anyone wondering how did I get my hand for MLS, actually I joined a US spree handled by someone called Rowena from lyn. She handles several sprees at time, and recently, she just opened a new forum, just for her spree http://forum.malaysianbeautystore.com/.

Anyway, Im going to sleep now since its very late already. Lucky Im on leave tomorrow. Yay~

Good night~

Hauls from beautyarea2u.com!

Yeah, its been awhile since the last time I shopped from beautyarea2u.com aka pei2 from lyn. One thing that I love when shop with her is I will get reply at a rather speedy rate everytime I got anything to ask (unlike some other seller..) Anyway. after checking her website, I end up buying a bunch of stuff, mostly are quite random stuff. And this time I entitled for her "mystery gift"!

So, heres come the parcel:

Always love her neat packaging.

And my loots:

Top from left: Mascara guide, Cotton puff case, Anna Sui inspired hand mirror
Bottom from left: fringe holder, Koji partial eyelash curler, 2in1 twizer and blackhead pocker, lashies helper and cell roller.

The price for the stuff are rather, so dont expect too much from them. Infact, Im not 100% happy with my purchase as well >.<>

Anna Sui inspired mirror.

Its not that big, but since I already have a big mirror that can show my half body, so its not a biggie. Its pretty and girly. My sis said it feels like Sailor Neptune when holding this. lol.

See how pretty it is.

It can be folded too!

Being an inspired item, and CHEAP, of course the quality is not as good the original expensive Anna Sui. Smudges, scratches on the body..guess I got what the price that I paid for.

Im not going to spent a bunch of money just for a piece of mirror anyway.

Next, the cotton puff case, which I think is also an Anna Sui inspired stuff.

I love love love this. Finally I got a nice place for my cotton pad. Haha! The case is really cute and pretty. Oh, it actually came with 2 colors of choice, black and transparent. But black went out of stock :( Thats why I ended with transparent instead which turn to be not bad. But just incase pei2 restock the black color, Im going to grab it for sure!

Just one complain, I dont really like the word engraved on the case. "BRBI STORY". Wad the hell is BRBI? And from far, it looks like BABI instead @_@

Fringe holder. Actually this item can be bought easily from SASA or Jusco. Quite a handy tools to replace pins or headband while we doing make up. Good stuff!

Mascara guide. I think this is good for beginner. For someone who got used of using mascara, this item actually isnt really a necessary.

The twizzer. The plucker is kinda sharp. And somehow it cut the hair before actually plucking it. Not good imo.

Koji partial curler.

I read a review from other people that this tool work great on her. But somehow, I feel its quite dificult to use as I always like poking my eyes with this. Perhaps more practice needed? Anyway, of course I prefer my Shu Uemura much much more than this. Thumbs down.

Remember I stated about the mystery gift, so here it is!

A headband and 1 sachet of slimming tea.............................

ok, no comment about the gift :x Its a gift anyway :P

Thats all for my pei2 haul for this month. More hauls coming soon!

Review: Mandom Beauty Cleansing Express Eye Make Up Remover

Price : Around RM22++ something from Watson
Size : 140ml

Available at other store like Jusco as well.

I was looking for a replacement of my Maybelline Make Up remover which almost finished that time as I accidentally spilled almost half bottle of it on the floor*ouch*. I decided to find other brand since the Maybelline wasnt really effective in removing my Volume cat eye mascara. After looking around, my eye caught on a new standee at Watson with Mandom Cleansing Express range product which I believed just been brought to Malaysia. I saw the eye make up remover and straight away love the packaging (I am sucky for cute packaging). However, since I never heard this brand before, I decided to put it on hold to search for some reviews.

And I found lots of good reviews about this make up remover so few days later I came back and straight grab this to the cashier.

First of all, I really love the printed details on the bottle as it quite cute and has the high quality feeling.

Isnt it pretty?


The bottle tip is like most of other make up remover out there. You need to pour this on cotton pad and start your erasing process.


The product consist of 2 layers of oil, so must shake it well before using.


So, is it work as what other people claims? For me, it works quite well on my eyeliner and eye shadow as I need only 1 - 2 rub before they vanished from my eye. However, I also found out that I still need to put some effort to remove my Maybelline Cat eye mascara. It kinda a bit disappointing as I was hoping to find something which can rub this easily from my lashes. I guess the mascara itself is the type that very hard to remove.

See how dirty is the cotton pad after single wipe.

My eyes was actually cleaned after that except for my eyelashes which still have traces of stubborn mascara.

Of course after that you need to clean your face thoroughly with cleanser.


Overall, I think this product is ok, and I can assure it work better than the Maybelline one. I might consider in repurchasing this, as the price is cheap for 140ml of product and it work except on my mascara. But I believed it will work well in removing other brand of mascara, so hopefully I already change my mascara by the time I repurchase this product.

My rating:
4 out of 5 star on my eyeshadow and eyeliner
3 out of 5 star on my Maybelline cat eye mascara.

Review: UCK-105 Geo Lens.

This is actually my first circle lens which I bought around last year December. I was looking for black colored lens that enlarge the eye size but still look natural. Normal diameter of circle lens is 14mm, so when I bump into this that claimed to have the diameter of 14.7mm I straight away hooked by it and made an order straight away. I purchased this lens from purple-lens blogshop (see my side bar for the link) for RM28 per pair inclusive of postage (Please take note the price has been marked up to RM30 recently). As usual, all geo lens can be used till max one year but it is recommended to change it every 3 months or so especially for those who wearing it daily.

Here how the lens looks like on my finger.



The lens really enlarge the eye as what it claims. I love how it make my eyes larger but still look natural. However this lens may not suitable for those who have very slity eye or small eye as it might cover most of the white area (sclera) of your eye. I've seen a photo of a girl having a small eye wearing this, and it looks very weird. The lens covered almost of her eye even she actually opening her eyes big in the picture.

Anyway, here are my pictures wearing the lens.

With and without lens (flash)

With and without lens (no flash)

Camwhored session with contact lens



Ok, I know you want to puke already.

Overall I really love love love this lens. Its comfortable, its enlarging yet looks natural. I experienced a bit of dryness after few hours of wearing it but thats normal when you wearing contact lens, which I cant bother it much. There are lots of other brand out there so I would like to try others after this already worn out. So I might repurchase this incase I cant find any better brand.

Rating : 4 out of 5 lippies
I dont like when it make my eye dry, thus 1 mark deduction.
