I was using the essence I LOVE <3 ROCK Gloss Eye Pencil for some time.
So now, I'm confident to share my thoughts and observations with you:
 
- Super soft, applies smoothly without much tugging on the delicate area around the eyes
- Glossy & Wet finish
- Very intensely dark black, great pigmentation!
- Easily smudged if not set to dry or set with eye shadow; Great for a base or to create smokey look
- Not water resistant, gets slightly smudgy before it sets and might darken eye areas at the end of the day for teary eyes
Verdict:
If you wish to have super dark eye liner at quite a low price, dont mind its non-water resistant nature, wants a very soft and east to glide eye liner, you can consider this. Otherwise, I recommend the SilkyGirl HD Gel Eye Liner, which can offer what this essence liner does, yet it is waterproof, but at a higher price but within drugstore range.
Come back for more reviews!

It's mascara review time again!
Well, more or less I'm targetting to have all the reviews / mini reviews of the currently used mascara up first.
'coz to me, Mascara is vital if I were to choose only 3 products to be used for a day-to-day makeup routine. It glorifies your eyes and enhances its natural beauty! Of coz, if you wanna open up your eyes or bring intensity on it, eyeliners are better and in some cases, with eyeliners drawn, you don't need mascara. About the other 2 products which is vital for daily makeup.. Check out the upcoming post "3 essential items for daily makeup"!
For today, I'm wearing the SilkyGirl Double Intense Mascara in Very Black:

A first mini review for the glosses that I have!
I have so many lip gloss that I can use a different lip gloss daily for up to 4 weeks. However, glosses tend to have a shorter shelf life, especially once you started using it. Inevitably, contamination and oxidation will expire your favourite glosses.
Tip: To extend the shelf life of your glosses, you can minimize the contact of your gloss with your lips by getting the product out onto a clean surface, then apply gloss onto the lips using a lip brush or disposable gloss applicator. Always store your glosses in a cool and dry area. Humidity and warmth breeds bateria efficiently.
 
Al right, let's get to my summed-up points for this lovely gloss I adore:
- Cheap and affordable
- Great quality in terms of retaining lips moisture, keeping lips supple, soften dried lips and mild plumping effect
- Minty gloss (pearly/clear gloss side) that tingles a little with the cooling minty taste & sensation on lips
- Those with sensitive skin might find it stingy (i.e. My sister felt so) and may hurt
- Pigmented gloss which can be worn sheered out too (colour end)
- Tacky/sticky, will leave stains on cutletries (drink/eat)
- stays on lips for min 2-4 hours without having meals in between. Drinking water does not wear it out completely.
- Cost SGD3.99 from La Diamonte, Smoochiezz, Gmarket/Qoo10 Sellers in Singapore; USD1.00 on their website
- Packaging is slightly bulky compared to actual product amount
Verdict:
Highly recommended for those who wants affordable glosses that kerps lips supple with minty refreshing sensation. Those with sensitive skin might not like the minty gloss end.
Be back for more mini reviews coming your way~
Cheers

Let me share with you one of my favourite makeup removers of all time, The Fasio Point Makeup Remover, for eyes and lips.
Apart from FANCL's Mild Cleansing Oil, this is the next best makeup remover that I love and will highly recommend for all types of makeup, specifically for stubborn eye makeup.
Summary below:
- Cheap and affordable, SGD8.50-9.00 for 120ml
- Sold at selective Watson's stores and BHG
- Mild and no tingly or stingy feeling when gets into eye
- Removes the most stubborn mascara which i've used before i.e. Fasio & Holika Holika
- No fragrance
- Not oily/greasy
- Does not temporarily cloud your vision (some does)
- Watery consistency and not drying to skin

Another Mascara review to kick start this week's blog entries!
Here we go:
 
- Purchased from CherryCulture at USD 2.99
- Slim packaging, simple and nothing extraordinary
- Traditional bristles mascara wand with medium sized dense brush
- only available in black and non waterproof
- very water resistant
- not flaky and non-smudging on the under-eye areas after whole day wear
- mascara formular is light but not too liquidy, dries up in reasonable time (about 10-15s)
- Buildable volume & length without clumps for up to 4 coats
- dark & intense black
- curl holding power average as upon many coats might weigh down lashes or soften the curl
- removes easily with gentle makeup remover
Verdict:
Recommended if you want a mascara that is not messy or too watery, darkens and volumise + slightly lengthen your lashes, sleek tube and water resistant. Alternative to this mascara I will recommend NYX Doll Eye Mascara and Maybelline Unstoppable Curly Mascara.
Cya in the next Post!

My thoughts:

- Removes non-waterproof lip & eye products well
- Got it from Gmarket/Qoo10 at around SGD5.80
 
Verdict:
Recommended for those who dont use stubborn makeup or highly water resistance makeup.

TGIF!
I had a black top and grey jeans skirt for today as its dress-down day for work.
To spice things up, I put on several colours on my eyes and mascara chosen is the essence I LOVE EXTREME Volume mascara.
Again, this mascara was used for awhile but never had time to do that in-depth review...
Let's get straight to the points!
- Sleek glossy casing with baby/bright pink wordings that catches eyes
- Considered to be packed in a large/thick tube
- Mascara wand has a huge brush with tradition bristles that tappers at the tip of applicator
- Formular of mascara was liquidy when first opened, subsequently it gets creamy
- Only available in Black, very intense colour
- Got it from selected Watsons stores in Singapore at SGD6.00
- I think that It lives up to it's claim to be extremely volumizing
- Darkens, thickens, defines and visible lengthening effect upon application of mascara
- Does end up staining my lids occasionally as its brush is huge, especially when my eyes are slightly more protruding
- Average water resistance, will smudge if eyes get teary and you accidentally rub it
- Does not flake off, does not smudge undereyes, not making lashes stiff
- Holding power of curled lashes is average, try to keep within max 3 coats to not weigh lashes down
- Easy removal with normal makeup remover
- Does get clumpy if more than 3 coats, but do not let dry between each coat. Keep to max 4 coats good enough
 
Verdict:
Highly recommended for its price, intensity of colour, volumizing & lengthening effect. Smaller eyes and shorter lashes users gotta go careful with application to prevent staining lids. Watch the video and you'll find that it is last for an amazingly 24 hours!! XD
Hee~ once again, come back for more mini reviews!
