Mascara review time! ^.^

I got Clinique Lash Power trial size mascara at Sasa in Hong Kong for HK$22

I didn't know Clinique mascaras are made in Japan!

I got it in Black Onyx

Here's how the wand looks like; it seems like a regular wand for me but it sure does the trick in coating the lashes uniformly.

Here's my curled lashes without mascara

Here's my curled lashes coated with Clinique Lash Power Mascara

I really like this mascara for casual days if you want a natural look, it does not flake even if you rub your eyes but it is amazing that this goes off with warm water, no need to rub your eyes with make up remover. My lashes are short and thin to begin with so any mascara would make me a happy girl, haha! Volume and length wise, it fares well enough if you want to achieve a natural look but if you want to be more dramatic, Majolica Majorca is your good bet. 

I usually use this when I go out but once it runs dry I'll go back to my ever reliable Majolica Majorca, the only con I can see is that my curl droops down even if I just coat my lashes once. 

Majolica Majorca Holiday Collection 2010

Photo and info Source

Majolica Majorca is a brand I trust when it comes to mascara.

For the holiday 2010 collection, they came up with a rather small collection as opposed to the previous holiday collections they've churned out in the past. 

What excites me most is the red Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo mascara, it's perfect for the festive season! ^.^

The MajoRomantica perfume bottle looks small but elegant

The nail polish is a bit blah though =(

According to Haru the collection will be released early this October in Japan.

FOTD: Simply Primped and Polished

This would be one of the rarest times Maquillage Lover puts up an FOTD! 

After doing this makeup I felt it looks simple and yet pretty so I'd like to share this with you.

Japanese make up makes the prettiest sheer color;

it gives an illusion as if you're wearing almost nothing at all but you look so primp and polish with just a light touch of color here and there.

Just the way I like my makeup! Not too over done with shocking colors but not too bare that my eye bags are saying hello to the world!

I made this FOTD last Sunday before going out.

Here's the product lineup:

Shiseido eyelash curler, Taiwan version

Shu Uemura Pro Concealer 

UDPP in Eden

Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus

Jill Stuart Jewel Crystal Eyes in Princess Sapphire

Jill Stuart Eye Jelly in Midnight Shine

Jill Stuart lipstick in Baby Coral

Shiseido PN Primalise Gloss

Kiehl's lip balm #1

Jill Stuart Moist Silk Liquid Foundation 

Benefit 10

Jill Stuart Mix Blush in Fresh Apricot

My Taiwan Mini Haul

Here's my small Taiwan mini-haul, I call this mini because it's nothing comparable to the haul I got in Hong Kong this January. My Taiwan trip was mainly searching for plastic wares and food processing machineries so it's understandable there's very little time to shop around.

Nevertheless I'd like to share these brands and items with you in case you're going to Taiwan, you'd be more familiar with the products and brands there. ^.^

I got these from a friendly neighborhood hypermart Tsia Le Fu or Carrefour, PoYa and Jmart that's located in a wet market. Did I get anything from Watson's? =/ No I don't think so...

I'd be creating a different post on where to find beauty stuffs in Shu Lin, Taipei County, Taiwan ^.^

First on the list are Neutrogena oil free Acne Stress Control Power Foam Wash and Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner.

Neutrogena products are scattered everywhere and I got these from Carrefour.

These are from PoYa

I originally got two boxes of Nexcare acne care (the peach colored boxes) and surprise surprise it was on a promo! Buy a set and you'll get another box for free. Sweet deal ^.^

I wanted to try My Beauty Diary Face masks first before buying a whole big box, luckily I found out there are smaller boxes with 2 mask sheets inside so this is a pretty pragmatic deal for me too

I got these from Jmart.

Due to my cousin's ravings I got Biore Cleansing Gel, I got this from PoYa

I love that it removes makeup instantly but if I have extra strong mascara AKA Majolica Majorca so I need the aid of cleansing oil or Etude House Mascara Remover One Shot Clean

My Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock with SPF 30 is almost running out. I wanted to buy the same sunblock in Taiwan but I find the prices jacked up compared to the Philippines. I think I got my bottle for Php400+ but in Taiwan you'd get it for NT$400+ too! That's roughly around Php600+

So I got Biore instead, I'm not sure if this is lightweight like Neutrogena but it might be worth a try too! I got this at Carrefour.

I got this cute fruit nail art at Jmart for NT$59! 

Here's a close up

There's apple, orange, watermelon, kiwi, dragon fruit, strawberry and so much more! ^.^

This is a breather from the usual gemstone nail art I always see... I'm not much of a nail polish person but this is too cute I have to get one when I'm in the nail polish mood.

Perhaps the only thing I can consider as makeup from my haul is Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Volume Mascara I got from PoYa =p

This is the latest mascara released by Majolica Majorca for their Spring 2010 collection.

Mentholatum Acnes Medicated Sealing Jell I got from Carrefour is a lil bit of a disappointment for me considering their creamy medicated facial wash works wonders drying up my zits but nevertheless the Jell works slowly but surely in drying my zits up ^.^

My aunt from Taiwan gave me this fringe clip, it's actually my cousin's spare fringe clip she got for free when she bought Mod's volumizing shampoo. They gave it to me so I could save a few NT$ because it's around NT$30-40 in Jmart.

Here's a close up; I'm not sure if you're familiar with this one but you use this to aid reshaping your side swept bangs when you're blow drying your hair. You clip this on your fringe and blow dry your hair so there are a lot of holes in this clip and the shape is curled inward. I have stiff straight bangs that go awry sometimes so this is a great aid for me.

Graduation Came

At laaast!!! After almost four years of studying at De La Salle University-Manila

Graduation came...

It was a bittersweet moment for all of us

We're happy that we're done and we're ready to embark to the next journey of our lives

We're sad that we won't be seeing each other often.

I'm glad I graduated with my close friend and block mate Abi

I'm sad I didn't graduate with my other block mates and friends (same sentiment with Abi haha)

But at least we got through college together though we're colleges apart.

Fixing my tassel in this pic, I think =p I just had this funny expression haha

When: Feb 6, 2010

Where: PICC

Time: 8am to 11am

Honorable Mention (but my 'badge' can't be seen coz of my long hair)

Kai Beauty Care Mascara Guard Review

I have been itching to use my newly acquired mascara guard but for some reason when I'm doing my make-up I tend to forget =p

Luckily I forget to use it so I could snap up some photos in it's mint condition!

I bought this in Sasa Hong Kong for HK$29, it's the most expensive mascara guard I've seen in Sasa.

Here in Etude House Philippines I think their mascara guard retails for just less than P100

However of all the mascara guards I have seen, Kai Beauty Care has the better- or the best ergonomically designed mascara guard.

As you can see on the picture there are some instructions on how to use the mascara guard so this might be helpful if we can't read Kanji, Hiragana or Katakana.

Unlike most mascara guards that looks like the calling card where there's just a simple curve so your eyelashes would fit in and the surface is usually flat, the tendency is that you'll end up pressing down your eyeballs and sometime it hurts. I've tried using the calling card mascara and it was great at first because it really delivers but after a while I was getting frustrated with pushing the card down and hurting my eyeballs. I usually can't see well when pressing my eyeballs down so sometimes mascara application goes awry.

But when I tried Kai Beauty Care Mascara Guard, I must say I understood why it's one of the more expensive mascara guards out there. It is curved so it could comfortably fit in your eyeball shape and other contours of the eye area.

Woah! It looks scary but it looks scarier when you're using the flat calling card to pull the eyelashes up.

This mascara guard is a gentler on the eyes. The clear plastic also helps you check out if you're missing out on some eye lash that went beneath the mascara guard.

The mascara guard fits 90% of my eye shape, I can't reach the inner corners of my eyes but the same problem goes to my Shiseido eye lash curler.

You use the upper part of the mascara guard for your lower lash are. Recently I have been trying to coat my lower lash line with mascara and it does make your eyes more defined and yet it looks so natural.

If you're scared of putting eye liner on your lower lash line, coating your lower eye lashes might be the thing for you.

The mascara guard fits also 90% of my lower lash area contour and I just have to adjust the mascara guard when coating the outer corner of my eyes.

What matters most for me regarding this product is that it doesn't hurt my eyes or my eyeballs, it just gently lifts your lashes effectively without pressing your eyeballs down.

I don't use the mini toothed handle of the mascara guard because I opt to use a clean spoolie but if you're travelling and you don't want to lug a lot around then you can also use the mini comb provided.
