Review: Mistine Dolly Big Eye Waterproof Mascara

Who would have thought its December in a few days already? My birthday is also coming up and I feel so old now, but it is what it is. Anyways today I'll be reviewing the mascara I got from my Mistine PH Haul from Lazada. Spoiler: I may have found my new favorite mascara (it used to be the one from Fashion21). So continue reading to know more about this product. 

REVIEW: Luxe Organix Castor Oil Eyelash and Brow Growth Serum

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to share my thoughts about this product called Castor Oil Eyelash and Brow Growth Serum from Luxe Organix. I've been using this since July, so I think I can now properly provide some thoughts and insights about the product. Excited? Let's start.

I got this tube from Watsons and it retails between Php 109.00 - Php 120.00, sorry I forgot the exact amount. It contains 10ml of castor oil in a tube packaging, which resembles that of a mascara. For the price, it isn't bad. According the the packaging, this is for both eyelash and eyebrow hair growth and will aim to provide longer, thicker and healthier eyelashes and brows.

The packaging is very simple and chic - black tube with an accent of a somewhat blue green color? I don't know, I'm not the best when it comes to describing colors. Haha. I like how it is so handy that it can fit in your purse.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Luxe Organix Castor oil eyelash and eyebrow serum is a combination of ingredients that helps promote longer; thicker and healthier eyelash and eyebrows.

• 100% Natural
• Paraben Free
• Hexane Free
• Not tested on Animals

There's also a rubber stopper on top of the opening. It's really like your usual mascara, application is also going to be similar.

INGREDIENTS

Water; Red Ginseng Extract; Panax Notoginseng Extract; Butylene Glycol; Helichrysum Bracteatum Flower Extract; Peg-40 Castor Oil; Laurocapram; Phenoxyethanol; Citric Acid

HOW TO USE

1. The Eyelash Growth Serum can be used two times daily (in the morning and evening before bedtime).
2. The eye should be completely clean of any make-up or eye creams.
3. Apply the serum from the inner corner of the eye outward. Directly on then base of your eyelashes.
4. Then from the roots of eyelashes. Please use the mascara brush repeatedly. May also apply to eyebrow area.

A lot of people have actually been saying that the mascara wand is harsh to the skin as the brush isn't that soft. I think I've poked myself in the eye a couple of times already, so instead of applying it like how I apply my mascara, what I do is just let the end part of the brush touch the roots of my eyelashes or the skin, enough to put the serum on the root part. That way it doesn't hurt.

Luxe Organix suggests to use this continuously for 3 months for optimal results. As for me, I've used this continuously for a month and I can really see the difference. It's not that much yet, but I am really loving the results so far to the point that I've already purchased 2 bottles even though I haven't fully consumed the first one yet! Here are some before and after photos for comparison.

Update: Here's my lashes as of September 20, 2020. I've permed my upper lashes by the way, DIY style haha, so there's no growth there since the last photo above. But I continued the application on my lower lash line, twice daily.

Update: I've been lazy for the last month because I started to go back to working again after months of quarantine so I haven't really used this for a while. I'll start my routine again of using this serum twice a day and post an updated photo on this post after 2-4 weeks to see if there's any major difference.

Overall, i really love this serum. I've also heard they have made changes to the wand so it could be softer than before but I haven't bought a new bottle yet as I still have my old stash. I'll prolly check it our next month.

Apieu Folding Eyebrow Knife

And just like that, we're almost half way through the month of April, and just 2 more weeks left till the enhanced community quarantine is over.. If its not going to be extended. Anyways, today I will show you something that I bought from my last trip to South Korea, which was December of last year. 

This is an eyebrow razor of some sort, from one of my favorite brands Apieu. I forgot the price, but this was definitely cheap. To be honest I don't groom my eyebrows, but when I saw these pastel colored tools, I immediately purchased it lol. Plus, I just love Apieu for their cute packaging and affordable items.

This has 2 folding eyebrow knife inside, and the details are written on the back. It says "Made in Korea". Duh. I got this from a shop in Myeongdong so yeah.

I can't read Hangul though, so I'll just put the details on the back of the packaging here for anyone who wants to read them.

And now to spam you with photos of cute pink and yellow pastels.. Pink is one of my favorite colors so I will forgive myself for buying something I might not get to use. Also, I know I am an impulsive buyer, but who can say no to these cute colors?

Since these are fold-able, its perfect for your make up pouch. You can carry it with you wherever you go as its handy and safe too.

Enjoy your Saturday! :)

Fashion 21 Cosmetics - Lazada PH Birthday Haul

Today I'm very excited to share my latest haul from Lazada PH which contains goodies from Fashion 21 Cosmetics! I had these items on my cart for days and finally purchased last March 27 during the Lazada PH Birthday Sale.

Looking at what I actually got, I realized these are eye products lol. So, here's what I got: Fashion 21 Liquid Eyeliner, Fashion 21 Eyelash Curler, Fashion 21 Double Up Mascara and Fashion 21 Auto Eyebrow Pen.

To be honest, I don't really do eye make up and this will be my first time to use a liquid eyeliner. I think I've tried it before but it never really worked because of my hooded eyelids but I have been watching YouTube tutorials so I am hoping it will work out this time.

Items Bought:

• Fashion21 Eyelash Curler - Php 125 (Sale Price (87.50)
• Fashion21 Liquid Eyeliner (Black) - Php 135 (Sale Price Php 94.50)
• Fashion21 Auto Eyebrow Pen (Greyish Brown) - Php 85 (Sale Price Php 59.50)
• Fashion21 Double Up Mascara - Php 239 (Sale Price Php 167.30)

Last year I got the chance to have my lashes permed and it was really pretty but I find it intimidating at times to look at my lashes because it seems so made up as opposed to how my face looked so when I saw that this eyelash curler was on sale, I took the chance and added it to my cart. I haven't tried this brand of curler yet, or any eyelash curler for that matter, but Fashion 21 seems to have an array of great deals and amazing products so I am really looking forward to this.

Since this is my first eyelash curler, I cant compare it but I do love how elegant it looks like, specially with the brand name embossed on the curler.

It also is easy to use and isn't too hard to use or grip. I've tried holding it and its very light weight as well. I guess the body is made of stainless material, so hopefully it won't rust or something.

Now my next purchase is another first for me as well. Although I've been using eyeliner sometimes but its mainly on my lower lash line. What really got me to purchase this ()aside from the sale price lol) were the reviews I have read about it. They say this is water resistant (as on the label duhh) and really lasts for a long time, maybe a day sort off? Amazing! Now the only thing I need to sort out is learning how to apply liquid eyeliner on my upper lash. Cat eyeliner? Pleasseeee. 

Im also not an eyebrow type of person but you cant resist a sale when you see one so there you go! Eyebrow pencil in grayish brown? Sold! I've read reviews about this and they were promising. My only problem is that my eyebrows aren't exactly neat and clean since I don't shave them or pluck them (too painful) so I'll see how it goes with this one. I bought this prior to me cutting my hair and coloring it a lighter shade so I don't know if the color will still suit though..

And finally my holy-grail mascara! I've always been with Maybelline for mascaras but when I was searching for alternatives, this came up on the reviews and they were really great so I bought one to test it out. Guess what? It really does wonders. I don't get panda eyes plush washing and removing is a breeze! Not to mention its also long lasting. But what really sold me on this item was the fact that it was so easy to remove and that it doesn't blacken my eye area at the end of the day like most mascara. Now I bought my second bottle specially since the price was too good to resist.

And there you go! Those were the things I purchased from Fashion21 and I am really really excited to try them out. I am just hoping it will work out, specially the eyeliner as I am looking forward to sporting cat eyeliner and puppy eyeliner haha. Now I'm off to go watch more YouTube tutorials. Bye!

Haul: Nichido Cosmetics

As promised, here's another haul post that I am going to share. This time, I got two items from a local brand called Nichido Cosmetics. These stuff can be found mostly in local malls and in Watsons too. I think I really have a thing for lippies, cos most of the products I own are lipsticks *_*

Items bought: Eyeshadow Palette, Matte Lipstick

First up is this matte lipstick. The packaging is really simple, and the lip shade can be seen on the top. I like how its plain black and then the brand name is somewhat transparent-ish as it gives a very cool holo effect.

The shade is called "Love Potion", which is a stunning red lipstick. Its quite bold than my usual style, but not "super bright red" bold. I think this is the reddest lippie I own (except for my NYX Lipgloss).

In the photo it might look like its shimmery but nope, its really matte. But very moisturizing if I may say. Plus, it glides on really easily which is a plus for me.

And then here's an eyeshadow palette. I already have a palette from BH Cosmetics and its got way more shades than this one, but I really missed my Wet n Wild palette and this sort of reminds me of it (though the shades are not entirely similar).

The palette is called "Enchanted Green". One would think that its a colorful palette, but no its not. Its actually a simple and everyday eyeshadow palette.

I like how it has a mirror inside. And its pretty handy too. Its small and light weight, which makes it easy to fit in your bag.

Here's a close up shot of the palette.

Product reviews/swatches will be posted soon, when I find time to take decent photos. Or when the weather will start to be somewhat less hell-ish. Its really hard to take photos when you're sweating. And I want to take photos at daytime cos the light is more natural. Ugh, this really isnt summer weather. Anyways, till next time =)

Day 20 - Your Favorite Mascara

This is again another product from Nichido. It is a 2 in 1 Mascara, which features a base mascara and a lengthening. This is my favorite because of its 2 in 1 functionality which is quite handy and useful for me.

On one side of the mascara you will find the Base Mascara with PRO VIT. B5. It is actually colored white, so it is not noticeable when applied but still you can see changes on your lashes.

The other tip of the Mascara has the Lengthening. This is the usual mascara which is black in color. When applied, it makes my lashes look thicker and longer.

Review - Nichido 2in1 Mascara and Lengthening

Last Saturday my mother and I bought a new Mascara. The product says its 2 in 1 because it also acts as a lengthening. I have no idea how it would work since I have only been starting to get interested and hooked to makeup months ago. So today Im going to write a review about the product and show the results.

 This is the 2in1 Mascara and Lengthening. The black portion is for the lengthening and the white one is for the mascara. The Mascara portion says with PRO VIT B5. I have to find out what that meant.

 The Mascara

  

For lengthening of the eye lashes.

So I tried both ends of the products and this was what I got. Forgive me for the mess and the looks. I do not know how to put make up on because I have never done it in my life, but I am trying. I've been browsing sites and youtube videos to learn how ;P 

Bottom Line:

I super love the product. Although Im not an expert on this field but I can say that it absolutely worked for me. The lengthening really does lengthen my lashes and I love it. For the Mascara, its white in color perhaps because of the Pro Vit. Overall, I'd say this is a very good product and I will recommend this to everyone.
