My Graduation!

Anddd hello hello!

Just a quick update, my graduation was exactly a week ago! I can finally close my undergrad life chapter.

I was supposed to graduate in 2012 but spaces were limited and I had to opt for a later slot yada yada yada.

But anyway, WOOHOO! *throws confetti*

And here's a small FOTD and OOTD-ish, just for fun!

 

I opted for really simple eye makeup, a wash of bronze eyeshadow (can't remember exactly what I used), eyeliner on top and bottom lash line, small wispy demi lashes and that's about it!

And here are my favourite elements for the day!

The lace dress was a steal from boohoo.com, the necklace was a gift from my parents (I suspect they were sick of my key pendant (anyone noticed it?) which they got me 2 years ago. Mehhhh...), ombre glitter nails and my faculty's graduation sash!

Coincidently, that was also my favourite colour among all the faculty colours, and also one of my favourite colours!

Mummy personally picked out the bouquet for me! Mainly because she liked them. I'm not surprised. If I were to pick a bouquet for myself, they would definitely consist of blue roses.

Guess what, the tulips are growing! They're way higher than the roses now and they're starting to bloom as well.

Who knew?



Ok back to studying for me! It's exam week. XS

Thanks for taking this short graduation journey with me!

Cheers!!

B&C Lash Sculpture Long Separate Mascara

Hey dolls!

Here's a review on the B&C Lash Sculpture Long Separate Mascara!

*phew that was a mouthfull*

When I was back home in Malaysia, I went totally crazy at Sasa and picked up a bunch of awesome Asian products!

This mascara was the first thing that ripped open because I am a sucker for comb mascaras. I simply am not a fan of huge bushy brush mascaras because of its tendency to accidentally get smudged everywhere during application.

So more onto the Lash Sculpture mascara!

 The mascara promises to lengthen (by 130% I assume) and separates every lash with its unique lash comb.

However, I had a problem with the comb picking up way too much products and "glopping" them onto my lashes.

Some people may like the plump thick effect mascaras can give, but that's not for me.

A word of caution, the formula may go on rather clumpy during a second layer application. Looking at the picture below,

Left:

One layer applied.

Right:

Second layer applied after 20 seconds.

The first layer went on beautifully, but you could clearly see small clumps on the second layer.

Me no like.

Another great thing about Asian mascaras, it comes out easily with warm water! Woohoo!

On days when I'm too lazy with makeup, I usually apply mascara only because I can easily wash them off with warm water during my bath. Score!

✽ Overall ✽

Product quality: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡ ♡

Ease of use: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡ ♡

Test of time: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

❝ Pros ❞
Lashes look voluminous and darker, with more definition.

Comb wand separates lashes compared to brush wands.Easily removed with warm water.Hold a curl like a pro, yo.

Stays on forever. Could probably pass the 24 hour test with flying colours.

❝ Cons ❞
Comb wand picks up too much product.
Formula not layering-friendly. Clumps form during second layer application.
Lashes dries SOOOO hard and stiff.

TL;DR:

There are better Asian mascaras out there. You could probably skip out on this one.

Unless you're looking for a mascara that can seriously hold a curl and a kazillion other mascaras failed you, you could give this a go.

And I'll end this post with full eye makeup on with the mascara!

Cheers!!

Galaxy Inspired Eyes

Whew it's been a while since I've sat down and blogged!

Last week had been a whirlwind of assignments and it was sheer madness!

For my chill time, I decided to play with makeup!

I've been wanting to try a cut crease and my hand instantly grabbed pink, turquoise and blue! The end look reminded me of pretty galaxy pictures, hence the name Galaxy Inspired Eyes!

It was my first time trying this multi-coloured palette I bought from ebay, cause I thought 'Hey! How bad could it be?' and I was proven wrong. The pigmentation wasn't so good and fallout was crazy! I'm pretty disappointed with my purchase but I managed to save this look by layering over the ebay eyeshadow with other better eyeshadow. So yay!

Playing with makeup's really therapeutic, what do you think?


Btw, check out my giveaway if you haven't!

Cheers and thank you!!
