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!

This is gonna be a very quick review, post questions if I left out any points of concern! XD
My thoughts:
- Moderately moisturizing
- Slight Stingy if gets into eyes
- 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

Today's spotlight is shinning on this particular mascara which i've used for quite a while and now I'm wondering why it wasn't reviewed thus far! Even photos were already taken some time back!
Okok, no more blabblering, lets get into the points:
- Packaging is sleek, sturdy and streamlined shape but kinda "cheap plastic feel"
- The wand uses traditionsl bristles, medium-sized brush with tappered tip and "mid-drift"
- Formular of the mascara is more towards the creamy to slightly-dry kinda texture
- Only available in Extreme Black Colour
- Has 2 other products in this Doll Eye series that cater for Length and Waterproof
- Application is mess-free, doesnt get clumpy up to 3 or 4 coats
- Colour is intense and helps with defining, darkening of lashes
- Volumizing effect is average coz it fans out the lashes to create that "wide-eye-dolly" look
- Lengthens lashes mildly
- Does not get flaky or smudge eye areas at the end of day
- Quite water resistance as it survived my teary-left-eye
- Removal is easy with normal makeup removers
- Curl-holding power is good but must curl lashes well before apply else might weigh down lashes alittle
- Got it locally from smoochiezz at SGD12.00, cherryculture selling at around USD7.99
 
Verdict:
Highly recommended for easy application and its doll-eye effect + water resistance property!
Stay tuned for more mini reviews!

In a hot hot Sunny Island like Singapore, it is Summer all year round~

 
Yeeeee-haaa!
I finally couldn't resist the urge and have started using this mascara since the weekend before the last.
Initially I wasn't even intending to get this mascara as I wanted to get it at an even lower price.
Temptation won the better of me, I got it at the Watson's 24th Anniversary member sale, having it at an introductory price of SGD15.90.
So, let me share with you my thoughts and product experience in the following points:
- Bright Yellow Packaging as its Sister The Magnum (The Colossol) in waterproof and The Magnum Superfilm non-waterproof
- Still the same Jumbo Tube for its casing as the Volum'Express series
- Ultra Comb is an interesting Thin & Sleek flat plastic wand which has a flatten and curved applicator with "brush-like grooves on 1 side only
- It is WATERPROOF! Remove with your makeup removers
- Intense Black colour darkens lashes effectively & make them showup; the only colour available
- Mild definition of lashes
- Slight hint of lengthening effect
- Thickens up tiny clusters of lashes instead of making them fluffy like The Magnum/The Colossol
- Creates a Doll-eye look similar to NYX Doll Eye Mascara
- Holds Curl throughout the day
- No smudging or flaking
- Curved Flat Plastic Applicator gives you option in the way you apply mascara, easier to coat all lashes in 1 swipe
- I personally find this one of the best mascara to be used on lower lashes due to its Ultra Comb and waterproof properties
- Does not clump within 3-4 coats of mascara
- Mascara effect reminds me of The Falsies, but not as volumizing
- Generally retails at SGD 19.90 

  
Yay-hey!
I'm gonna catch up with my reviews during the whole of this week. To do so, you'll see me type-writing on my phone almost everytime I hopped on to the train while transiting to and from work.
For this entry, I'm gonna round up my thoughts of Maybelline The Falsies mascara in the following points:

 
Hi everyone!

I feel obliged to post up more reviews of the products which I kept using in my Look of the Day for the office week series and Fun & Casual Themed.
However, if I were to post up a full review, I feel that it is only right to provide all information of the product, many shots of the products and its performance before my post is worthy of its title as a "Review".
Honestly, that is a lot more work than it seems. In order to save time and keep my readers and passer-bys informed of my views and especially so, before they buy it, I've decided to catch up on my mini reviews!
For this article, I shall quickly share with you my thoughts and experience with the AmuSe Magic Volume Waterproof Mascara in the following points:
 
- Only available in Black
- Choice of different Colour casing
- USD 1.99 from Cherry Culture
- Creates Volume in lashes
- Minimal lengthening effect
- Does not get clumpy up to 3 coats
- Water resistant, NOT waterproof
- Keeps Lashes soft
- Has great holding power to keep lashes curled
- Easily removed with water and gentle rubbing
- Medium size brush with tapered and slightly pointed tips
- Bulky tube similar to Maybelline Volum'Express mascaras (The Colossol, The Falsies, HyperCurl)
- Mascara not too wet, feels and looks sticky when applying

YES!!!
As the title of this entry says, I shall be coming up with a series of Mini Reviews!!
To start it off, I shall focus on one of my Daily-Must-Have Products >> MASCARA!!!
These are the current bunch of mascara that I am using, trying my best to use a different one each day every week, especially for my past weeks and months of Look-of-the-Day entries.
