Products Used and Other Cosmetic-Love Mini Reviews

I now feel confident of posting my extra large photos. :)

That's a great thing because I used to have so much redness and tiny pock marks that I was ashamed of my photos. ☹


 A confident blogger is a happy blogger.

Just as promised, a list of the products on my photo from the last post.  This post will also serve as a mini-review.

 Mini Review for Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color in PK002
(from Cosmetic-Love)

You'll be wanting to take a lick because of its sweet strawberry scent but try not to!  It is a multi-purpose product- color for lips, eyes, and cheeks.  It gave a very subtle color on my cheeks, like a natural flush.  But you may have to apply much because the color is very soft.   I did not like its application on my lips because the color does not stay put and makes every crack and crease so obvious.  I haven't tried it on my eyes.

Missha Art Designing Cashmere Loose Powder in No. 2 Natural Beige

(from Cosmetic-Love)

I love how it's light and quite translucent on my skin.  The color of mine is No. 2 Natural Beige, which is a warm beige color.  It is lightly scented- quite reminiscent of rubbing alcohol- which I really don't mind.  The coverage is light.  I think it's good for sensitive skin because I haven't broken out, which happens when I try on new products.

♥♥♥

When I put on make-up, I am always fascinated by the transformation although I've done it a million times.  I love seeing our strongest assets and making them even more noticeable and taking our weakest features and making them better.  That's the power of cosmetics- which actually came from the Greek word for "cosmos"- making sense out of chaos.

Dolly Wink False Eyelashes No. 4 Feminine Style Review

Feminine Style seems to be the predecessor of the Otona Kawaii line, No. 10 Sweet Cat.  The arrangement of the hair is quite similar, except that Feminine Style is only half the length.

It looks more natural than Sweet Cat, accentuating only the outer corners of your lashes.  I think it's quite beautiful, as it frames your eyes with dramatic length and curl.

Pros:

• Hair looks natural, each hair tapers at the end
• Not shiny
• Lightweight and comfortable
• Already curled
• Lovely, especially in photos
• Glue really sticks

Cons:

• Can be a little too long for some but I think it's what makes it pretty in photos :)

That's it!  I like it!  I like it!  I do!  ^__^

P.S.  I got these from the Shoppingholics.com- my go-to store for Asian cosmetics~ :)

With my Geo Mimi in Apple Green- very pretty and comfortable lenses.

Dolly Wink False Eyelashes No. 10 Sweet Cat and No. 13 Baby Girl Review

Meow, meow, meow?

(Translation:  Can I ever look as sweet as a cat?)

I've been a cat owner for quite a while now, so I should say that I'm getting pretty good at the language.  XD  Hoho!  I'm leaving that as that...  

Tsubasa Masukawa recently released her Otona Kawaii line with Dolly Wink, as you all may well know now.  I purchased No.10 Sweet Cat and No. 13 Baby Girl, hoping to sport that feminine, yet with an edge, look.  Kinda like cats' eyes!

  

Here's my two-cent about No. 10 Sweet Cat:

Pros

• Hair looks and feels natural and soft
• Flexible, delicate, and invisible band
• Not shiny
• Nicely curled
• Glue stays put
• Makes your eyes sultry and beautiful ^^
• POINTER: just remember to trim them to your eyes' length so it will not look messy

Cons

• Can look too dramatic or exaggerated if you're not used to falsies
• Does not feel as comfortable as No. 11 Pure Sweet

Here's my other two cents (a total of four cents! :D) about No. 13 Baby Girl:

Pros

• Hair looks and feels natural and soft
• Flexible lash band
• Not shiny
• Glue stays put
• Not individual lash pieces so it's easy to apply
• Makes your eyes look cute

Cons

• Can look too exaggerated
• Lash band is quite visible on the lower lash line

Honestly, when I was wearing these lashes altogether, I felt I had hairy creatures on my eyes!  They're too dramatic together, and the hairs of the Sweet Cat looked really messy.  Without the bottom lashes, Sweet Cat looked less exaggerated.  Would I dare wear these outside the comforts of my home?  Most likely not... D:

UPDATE: How comfortable you will be with how these lashes look will really depend on you.  Now that I am more used to falsies, this Sweet Cat has been great because I personally think it makes my eyes look adorable.  I'm comfortable enough to wear them in public, but not together with the bottom lashes.  That would need another getting used too.  ^-^  However, I wouldn't want to discredit my older opinion because as a first time user, Sweet Cat did feel too dramatic.

Maybe with Baby Girl 13, it would look more convincing if it were closer to the lash line, which I forgot to try.  If you do try that out, then please tell me~  Thanks!  ^.^

Dolly Wink False Eyelashes No. 11 Pure Sweet Review

You wanna be dolly-kawaii?

I've never worn falsies in my entire life, knowing that it would make my make-up routine more complicated  :P  You know, I already take that long in front of the mirror, and my father may kick my butt if I stay any longer (Hehehe...  my father wouldn't do that, but you know!  He's a guy.  He no understand these things.)

But I checked out Shoppingholics because I really like Dolly Wink and since Tsubasa Masukawa released a new line, I thought, "Why not?"  It'd be for review purposes to help other ladies out there who would be considering these false lashes.

Package came after 2 weeks from Malaysia (since there are no direct
flights to Guam, the package went to California first. Hence, the wait).

Tsubasa is so chio here!  Can I be chio
like her?  :D

Nicely curled~

Pros:

• Hair looks natural
• Not shiny
• Lightweight
• Nicely curled
• Quite comfortable, even if I were only a newbie ^o^
• Glue lasts all night, but bring a tube just in case!

Cons:

• May be too dramatic for everyday wear if you are new to falsies.
• Separated hair can look unnatural
• UPDATE: But they are some of the most natural-looking out there

Ja-jang!  My eyelashes will now make any heart a-flutter.  XD

How do you like my dress?  It's only 15 dollars!  Whee~

Wanted my nails to match my lips :)

Btw, I just wanted to tell you a story about this lip color.  I went to Macy's, in mind that I would get the most fantastic lip color I have ever seen.  Since fuschia is so in, I chose this color ^__^  I was beyond happy with my purchase :D  But when I came home and my mother saw me with it, she was horrified! She was watching some scary beans of a documentary about make-up addiction.  She thought I was on my way to becoming a tacky lady with bright green eyeshadow and a saggy face >.<  Anyway, thus my last purchase of make-up for the month.  *sigh*  Life is fantastic like this :D
