Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara

 

IMG_6095

One of the few few few things I dislike about this mascara has to be it’s terribly long silly name! hahaha Other than the ridiculous name, I’m loving everything about this mascara. This is so so so much better than The Magnum Mascara by Maybelline and I would so recommend this to all who have sparse, thin, hard to curl lashes. Even without a eyelash curler, this mascara can lift droopy sad lashes.

Kiss Me Heroine Makeup volume & Curl Mascara is a keeper!

On the box, this mascara says that Heroine will COAT YOUR LASHES IN DRAMATIC VOLUME :

*LUSCIOUS VOLUME --- I like how it separates and lengthens super well. Volume wise, I guess I could get more if I applied more coats, but I prefer the long wispy fairy lashes effect I get with this mascara. A few coats is enough to work it’s magic!

*LONG LASTING CURL --- Definitely curls with a lasting effect. No droopy action after some time! Lashes feel light and airy.

*WATER PROOF TYPE --- No Smudging experienced even after a few hours of wear.

Overall, it delivers all it promise on the box so I have to give it an A+ for performance and the price is reasonable ( if I am not wrong, it’s priced around 21 SGD) Also, I really like the mascara wand. This curvy shaped wand seems to give nice lift to the lashes and it’s not huge or chunky, allowing me to coat all my lashes ( even tiny ones)   without staining my skin. Plus it dries so quickly which makes this ideal for impatient beings like myself.

What can be improved:-

The name & packaging. The name is such a mouth full and to have it shortened would be a joy! Also, I would prefer the mascara bottle to be a different color and to be more exciting in look. This wonderful mascara truly deserves a packaging facelift! The deep maroon color somehow reminds me of cheap and lousy mascaras I’ve used in the past which is not true at all for this mascara.  Anyways that’s just me being picky about packaging. Otherwise, a great investment for your makeup pouch ;-) I highly recommend this mascara~!

You can tell I shop at Watsons quite a lot. They happen to be stocking some wonderful Japanese cosmetic brands, making it hard for me to walk in and out without getting a little something something….hehe  Watson’s sells their own beauty tools as well. This pink eyelash curler really caught my eye and it was cheap so I couldn’t resist !

I put up my naked lashes just a few entries ago. Shall spare readers the same old before photo and just show you the effects after I’ve curled my sad sparse lashes:

Almost all my lashes have been curled nicely and I like that there’s no biting action going on with this curler. Cheaper curlers can be overly broad or they simply have a poor grip and tension that results in poorly curled lashes.

I like this eyelash curler, let’s just see how long it last ! If it gives up on me soon, I am just going to go back to trusty Shu Uemura and get their  expensive curler that lasts for years. It’s probably going to be the best long term investment I make in terms of eyelash curlers ;-)

Weekend Beauty Buys & Finds

 

This weekend was so totally relaxing for me. I spent it chilling and doing some beauty shopping. Don’t you just love a weekend devoted to rest & rejuvenation! Yea!

Here’s the stuff I accumulated over the weekends, not too much but I’m happy with it all::

 

IMG_6096 I dumped Maybelline The Magnum Mascara! I did, cause I left it out to dry for a day and it was still clumpy and sucky. Hated it. I’ve read rave reviews on this Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara and I decided to try it out. I love to try out all sorts of mascara and this was a risk that definitely paid off. I will do a thorough review on this mascara this week!!

Oooohhh… Revlon I love you for this nude lip gloss in Nouvelle Teinte ! The color payoff is fab, the color is to die for and it feels so smooth on the lips!  Swatches to come soon too!

I’ve tried high end curlers and low end curlers and I still find myself running back to well packaged and nice looking drugstore curlers. Hey, WATSON’s Eyelash Curler ( With Pink Plastic Handle) actually cost around 5 SGD only. It’s sturdy, it’s curls well and it’s pink. The fit around my lashes is just nice and it gives a nice natural curl!

I am a shampoo hoarder. I hate it when my shampoo is running out and I don’t have a backup. As usual, I love lavender and AVALON ORGANICS Shampoo just smells amazing!

Just ordered a pack of 6 De Shawn Marie Soaps for my mom as part of her birthday gift. She loves lathering them up with a loofah and she’s in love with the smells! I got her tons of lemony and fruity scents cause those zesty smelling soaps are her favorite :-)

My mom picked up Fresh Farmacy  Cleanser during her recent travels and I’ve been using this facial wash for 4 days now. My hubby noticed a difference on the 3rd day, saying that my face was radiant without the usual “ Beetroot Redness.” He rarely compliments my skin so this facial cleanser could be a keeper. Will continue using for a some time more for a review!!

It’s great fun to discover really interesting you tube beauty gurus and I might be a little late in discovering JLOVESMAC1 but I absolutely love her makeup style and all her bright cheery colors! Her lighthearted, witty and funny approach to beauty is refreshing and she really reminds me of  RAVEN! She’s also actually really really pretty when she’s bare faced!

After watching so many eyebrow tutorias, I’ve been following these basic steps when filling my eyebrows and I find the effect to be very natural and very pretty:

1) Using a brow pencil lightly outline your eyebrow shape.

2) Using an angled eyebrow brush, take a brown eyeshadow and fill it in while blending the outline into the lashes as well

3) The tail end of the eyebrows should be slightly darker than the front portion of the brows. A gradient effect ( light to dark) is really flattering for brows.

4) Using a flat straight concealor brush, conceal away the uneven edges on the top and bottom brow to give it a clean defined look. You can even “sharpen” the tail end of your eyebrows with this easy technique.

Okie, that’s all for now! I finally got my LUSH parcel from Singpost ! After a donkey long time, they finally decided to do their job. I got HIWTK ( obsessed with this), ROCKSTAR ( smells so good in my room), PORRIDGE ( Yummy ), SULTANA, I SHOULD COCO …. Loves…

Hope you had a great weekend !!!
