Review - Kanebo KATE Crystallise Quartz in BR-2

Hello folks! :D

Back again for reviews!
I actually done with the on-eyes picture weeks ago but I haven't photo the swatches and the packaging itself so I just finished it today!

KATE eye shadow has attracted me from the first time I knew it.
The first is because it's very pigmented and beautiful in packaging compared to my mom's old-i-dunno-what-the brand eyeshadow palette. The one I tried first is the diamond cut eyes one.
The second is because the CM model was Mika Nakashima! omg I love her songs and her looks >w<
The CM soundtracks were her songs too and I'm very berry sold to it. Lol.

Unfortunately now the model has changed, twice. I like the current model though. Her eyes really caught me. >_<

Let's continue to the review,,,,















That's how it looks like. When closed, of course.
I really love how it really shows its name! Crytallised Quartz. KATE always wins when it comes to gorgeous packaging. <3






When you open it,

Ta-daa~!! Uhm, not that good already :x
I bought this in May a year ago. Of course it's used! xD
You see, it comes with a brush too. All the KATE's eye shadow palettes I have comes with a brush anyway. The brush is so KATE somehow after times used it may have some fall out of the sponge.....












Now it's time for the colors!


You see, it contains 3 eye shadows and 1 glitter.
B for the whole eyelid, C for the fold of the eyelid, and D for above the lash line. (Note: this is just my own words. Not the translation but I bet you all know what the instruction picture means)
I bought this in Hong Kong's Watson. That's why it's in Chinese. I followed my sister for her working trip  ^_^


The swatches~

A is really just silvery glitters.
B I think is more like a base. It has shimmers.
C is usual brown with a little shimmers
D is usual dark brown with a little shimmers.












On-eye results~

 (Ya I know I know my eye's fold line is not connected T_T)
Anyhow my eyes were kinda swollen when I take these pictures... Pardon me.
The middle and bottom left is without the glitter.
The rest is with the glitter.
 If you want to use it for daily make up you better don't use the glitter.
But if you want to use it for party YES use the glitter. I used it under the eye before I know it was meant to be over the eyelid! LOL. But of course it's still beautiful!

Conclusion:
Design. As gorgeous as always. 5 stars.
Colors. 5 stars. Very pigmented!
Price? No doubt! Totally worth it as you can use it daily and party. 5 stars~
The applicator, 3 stars. It may fall out like dirts...

So what do you think??

By the way, I'll be going to Singapore and Japan, with transit via Kuala Lumpur. I'll be going for 3 weeks!
Rocks, right? yea I know! I'm so excited. The main journey is Japan though. I'll be in Singapore only for like 5 days.
I'll keep blogging if I got wi-fi there okay!
See you all!

My Wishlist

Hello, folks! :D

I'm actually thinking what to call you readers.. I think lovelies is way too common, while beauties seems not smooth for me. Lol. Any ideas? xD

Now, let's back to the point. My wishlist. I'm planning that this post will be updated along the time, but ya well, who knows. Shall we get started?!

So first, starts with the basic. Skincares.
1. Skinfood Black Sugar Mask
2. Skinfood Peach Sake Serum
3. Hada Labo moisturizer (or they call it moisturizing milk, I guess)
4. Etude House Ice Shot Spray

Move on to the next part. Make ups.
1. Majolica Majorca Cream de Cheek
2. Skinfood Peach Sake Pore BB or Good Afternoon Peach and Green Tea BB
3. KATE Super Sharp Liner
4. Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover or Pore Cover Powder
5. Any waterproof liquid liner in purple and blue
6. Kiss Me Heroine Mascara any type.
7. Canmake Shimmer Jelly Eyes

Uo the following. Fashions.
1. PLATFORM SHOES. Quite a lot of type, like, rocking horse shoes, creepers, etc. I dunno anymore. Lol.
2. Half transparent stockings with some printed pattern or images (I don't really know the name :p)
3. Modern kimono. Fyi, the skirt is short and it's like ballet tutu, multiple layers, like that I guess.
4. Either gothic shoes, gothic necklace, or gothic hairband.
5. Canmake Point Curler
6. Cute jacket. My current jacket has a stain and stitches on the left arm side. Thanks to the stain, my maid tried to bleach it and wash it so hard that it ripped and stitched and the stain stay still. Gosh.

Last but not least! Miscellaneous.
1. Hair sunspray! Why is it so hard to get! Geez, like, this is a tropical country! I see none selling sun spray for hair. Ridiculous!
2. Ballet shoes. Usual ballet shoes and toe shoes! Mine are too small because I stop attending ballet class when I was in 5th grade. I reaaallllyyyy wanna continue self-studying... :(
3. New contact lenses and glasses. Because my prescription is so high, the right is -4.25 while the left is -3.25 I need stock in case the one I'm currently using is broken, or any kind of accident you can think ._.

Okay! That's all for now. It becomes longer than I predicted! LOL
Anyhow, this is a wishlist, right? So I'm just listing up what I want and need.
Afterall, girls really need money to polish themselves!
That's why I'll be searching for jobs from next mid August (I'll tell you why soon!) Students do need experience, no? :D
See you all in my next post!

With love,
Carol

Blog is Under Construction!

Hello folks!

Since days ago this blog is under construction >_<
I did the background 2 days ago and finished the header (or you call it banner) last night *this morning*
The header is done at 3 o'clock and my back is all aching due to low desk and my long body.. :'(

Anyhow, I'm still searching around to make the blog menu bar....
If it's possible i'll put it on the header. Tee-hee.

If any of you guys know how please tell me! Would be greatly appreciated! :D


Okay so the menu bar is done~
But I haven't properly link them to the right pages so.. oh well, some understanding. >w<
I'll continue constructing tomorrow!


With love,

Review - Majolica Majorca Lash Jelly Drop

Well hello, folks! :D

This is my first review ever! *spread confetti*

Ehm, okay, let's continue.
I'm gonna review about one of the items here...

Yes! It's Majolica Majorca Secret Blink Edition!
I'm not reviewing all of them though, just the Lash Jelly Drop........ (*spoiler at the end*)
You know which, do you? It's the white-gold tube one~

So here's the picture

Ya I know it's unusual that bloggers use collaged picture for review. But hey, this method saves up uploading time!

On Singapore Majolica Majorca's website they describe it:

Lash Jelly Drop

Transform your eyes with this secret gel!
A beauty essence that nourishes and treats lashes.

I got this when my dad went to Taiwan around mid June 'till early July. Cosmetics in Taiwan is sure the cheapest! I asked my dad to buy me some cosmetics there. Tee-hee~

I was surprised when I first held the tube. It's soooooo light! I thought it's empty *face palm*



Anyhow, the packaging is sure very elegant. I LOVE the antique design. Since the first time I saw it I'm sold to the brand. lol.
It's scentless. But when you use it you can smell a thin jelly-ish smell. Pleasant smell for me >w<
I don't have a steady hands so I often accidentally stick the applicator to my eye.... T_T


So this is how my lashes look like before and after 2 weeks of application day and night

You see how my lashes before?! So messy and thin! They're super fragile, to tell you.







Really like the spell, Majolica Majorca!
Now it's visibly thicker and darker! And not that messy anymore.My lashes got stronger too as they don't easily come off like before.

It doesn't do much with the length though....




Here's overall opinion.

Positive:
Design! 5 stars.
Whether it's scentless or jelly-ish scent it's 5 stars.
Price? Of course it's 5 stars since it's from Taiwan! :P
The applicator is soft as it's a drops-shaped applicator but I prefer mascara brush honestly. 4 stars.
The results are amazing but I was hoping some more significant results. Maybe it's genetic? 4 stars.

Negative:
Not available in Indonesia - I believe because Japan do not sell as much as Korea here. Dang it.
Expensive in Singapore - I can ask my sister to buy me cosmetics but it's expensive....


*spoiler* I got the Humming Book I but I'll receive it in middle August
Okay so that's all!
Thanks for reading this! See you again in my next post *waves handkerchief*


With love,
Carol

My Morning Skincare Routine~

Well hello, dear lovely folks! :D Thank you for visiting my blog and reading this post!

 So today I'm gonna share about my morning skincare routine! Shall we get started?!

1. Garnier Pure Active Multi-Action Scrub

That's my facial wash in the morning! Somehow I feel using a scrub facial wash in the morning feels better than using it in the night..















2. The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner

It's my morning toner~ I use this in the morning because when I wake up I usually find out that my nose area are oily and I often find some new pimples! :(














3. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel SPF 30 PA++

The bottle in the pic is too blue... it isn't that blue. *lol* I have a combination skin, which makes my cheeks really dry. But I read somewhere, they said the skin (T-zone in my case) is oily because it's dry - lack of water (too) so I use this hydro boost :D













4. The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream

I love this. It smells great! And it really gives the mattifying feels! <3

















5. Etude House Mint Cooling Eye's Cream

This little, smells SUPERB. Sometimes makes me wanna eat it :p I use this just in case to avoid panda eyes (I don't have those) but everytime, everywhere, I always feel sleepy... x_x














 6. Hada Labo UV Creamy Gel SPF 50+ PA++++

Yes! You're not misreading! PA plus plus plus plus! I just recently got this from Taiwan (my dad went to Taiwan) 'cause can't find it in Singapore...













That concludes my morning skincare routine!
Thanks for reading till the end! Any question feel free to ask~
See you again, dear folks!


With love,
Carol
