The Good & Bad of my Mascara(s)


Maybelline Volume Express Lift-Up Mascara

Pros:

  • it did lift up my lashes and holding strong
  • stay in good condition for the whole day
  • waterproof
  • reasonable price
Cons:


  • Difficult to remove (must use makeup eye removal)



Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge Lengthening Mascara

Pros:

  • Easily remove with some warm water & cotton pad
  • Did not smudge on my skin & easily wipe away
  • Manage to lengthen my mascara
Cons:
  • Heavy mascara wear down my lashes immediately after I applied more than 2 layers
  • Expensive
  • Do not hold too long throughout the day
  • Mascara crumbs dropped after half of the day


Essence Multi Action Mascara

Pros:

  • Cheap
  • Able to lengthen lashes
Cons:
  • Lots of crumbs
  • Unable to lift up lashes
  • Must use makeup eye removal to remove mascara

P/S: Does anyone out there can recommend me a good mascara that can help lift up my lashes & at the same time easily remove with warm water? 

My Experience with Modern Beauty Salon

I received a gift voucher to Modern Beauty Salon for a facial & full body massage. I was immediately attracted to the promotion package offered to me with 20 times facial / body massage for the price of RM1200. Sounds cheap with only RM60 per facial bear in mind only a simple facial with extraction. I also did top up another RM700 for LED lightings. A beauty technology I came across the first time in my life.

To be honest, I have to admit all the beauticians at Modern Beauty Salon are very young and their extraction skill ain't so good. I have went there for 5 times now and I have to specifically request a beautician that can extract my full blackheads nose with skill. I did see some improvement on my full blackhead nose now.. And I have been to both Modern Beauty Salon located at Midvalley & Damansara Utama. I find the Midvalley branch a little too pushy & hardsale compared to Damansara Utama. And also Mid valley branch the lighting is so dim. I personally prefer going to Damansara Utama branch for reasons stated above.

For first timer, there is a promotion price of RM38 for facial & RM60 for full body massage for 45mins only.
I love their body massage there. I would say its quite a quality massage since the masseur will make sure you are comfortable with the pressure applied on you & consistently throughout the 45 minutes.

Laneign - Water Sleeping Pack Ex


Summary of Product Brand: I heard some really good reviews from friend which made me buy this piece of sleeping mask from Laneign brand. First time buying this brand though. It's made from Korea. The gel is really mild and meant to be used for once or twice a week only sadly. I have used twice my skin felt slightly smoother in the next day after washing off the overnight gel on my face and neck. It comes with a scoop for hygenic purpose too. I think the brightening effect is there as my skin seems more radiant after using it twice.  I wonder if it can be used on the eyes area? since it stated in the manual that no extra eye care is needed? Why is it only can be used twice a week? Anyone can advise me?

My First Fit-Flop


Summary of Product Brand: I bought this fit-flop in Singapore (Viva City Mall) for S$169. Is it expensive? because there is no discount there not like what I seen from the web! arghh... Anyway once it's purchased I wore it immediately and have a great day for the rest of my day.. with its good shock absorption I am walking more than I used too with my usual high heels. But after much working around the mall and taking train and walking around the airport... I felt the strain never the less.. Is this piece really worth this much? I think it's over-rated but I am still glad to buy this piece of good shock absorption sandal. I think it's good for those who like to look stylish and still walk alot.. By the way.. apparently it helps in losing weight too.. ah hemmm.. let me be the walking genuine pig... =D
