Review: Essence Get BIG lashes

Hi ladies I just recently bought this mascara about one week ago. Now it's time to do a review on this little toy. I bought this mascara at Paloma, The Mall.

Get Big lashes!, Essence:

• It cost around BND 4.90 (if I'm not mistaken)
• 12 ml in a bottle
• Made in Luxembourg
• Waterproof version
• Volume boost
• It says for maximum volume and especially thick lashes. 
• Smudge and waterproof.
• Ophtalmologically tested.

big fat applicator and also full of little brushes on it

For the first time I used this mascara, it was a very dry mascara. Then when I applied my second coat it gives me thick eyelashes but in a weird way and also it created lumps at the ends of the lashes because it was quite dry. After few hours,  obviously it looked really firm and dry. The most uncomfortable thing was that when it comes to in the middle of the day, it started to annoy my eyes like there was something went into my eyes I believed it was the lumps from my lashes.

However, it is a waterproof mascara and also a bit thicken and lengthen my lashes. The end of the day, it was very hard to remove and it took time. It required me to remove using the olive oil to smooth out the process of removing the mascara. Seriously I can't stand to own that drying mascara and quite difficult to apply, so I decided to put in 12 drops of Eyemo in the mascara to make it bit moisturize. 

Today, I used this mascara again to see if there was any changes after I dropped the eyemo liquid. Then it 's really works, which give the mascara quiet different from the first time I used it. It makes me easy to apply. 

Here is the look after put in the eye drops into the bottle:

After finish applied the mascara ( 2 coats of mascara)

 So far,so good. It's kind of thicken and bit of lengthen my eye lashes. So far, so good which is much better than the first time. You might not see the different from the first time used and after using the eye drops. My apologies I forgot to take some pictures at the first time using it.

Side view (2 coats of mascara)

A bit of lumps at the end of lashes but it's okay. It's much better now compared to the previous one.

Front view (2 coats of mascara)

This look was right away after I applied the mascara, which was okay.

So far it felt much better than before where it does not annoyed my eyes and does not look weird at all. Around 2.32 pm I did check my lashes, it was still okay does not create any problem so far. Unfortunately I did not take picture of it.

Here is the look when I went back home around 3.32 pm:

From the picture, you can see that it does not really hold the curls for a very long time. When I went back home my lashes already went down a bit. It only able to hold the curls approximately about 2 hours. But it still  good though, where it maintains the thick eyelashes. However, it still hard to remove the mascara which still need the help from the olive oil.

Generally, this product was not really good though since it was really dry, difficult to apply and give some weird look of lashes.However, after put in some eye drops into it turns to be a good ones. So if you already own one of this and don't like it or planning to get one of this make sure to put in some eye drops in it then you might love it than before.

Verdict: 3/10 (The product itself without the eye drops in)

            : 5/10 (With the eye drops in)

November Favourite 2013

For this month I don't have much favourite only a few but I still want to share with you guys what's are my favourite for this month. So without wait any longer let's jump right into my November Favourites.

This purply polka dot bag is my favourite of the month because it quite small and very handy. I also love how it looks like, very simple yet cute and also I love the colour. This bag actually available in 3 colours: purple, green and nude.

As you can see from the picture above, it is also very spacious where I can throw in my big camera, my big bottle of water, my A4 notebook, wallet and A5 business card which means I don't need to carry my big bag during my field work.

My second favourite is the Colossal Volume Express Mascara which I'm so freaking in love with. I use it every time I went out as you can tell from the picture the label already fade out and crack on the lid *lol*. It gives me a very volumizing eye lashes.

For the third favourite of the month is the Garnier BB cream which I use it every single day. It kinds of give a dewy finish which makes my skin looks much healthier and it also helps to even out the discolouration of my face. I also got lots of compliment when wearing this BB cream :)

Next one is the Jacqualine hair cream for conditioning and wet look hair styles. I have bought this hair product for a very long time ago but at first I did not like it at all because it kind of very greasy and oily to my hair. Then I just knew how to use this product properly by just applying a very small product and rub it in by hand then apply it to my hair. It just give a very perfect natural shiny hair, even healthier and also help to reduce my frizzy hair.

Okay for the 6th favourite, I love this Strawberry Hand & Body Shiffon Cream from The Face Shop. It smells a very light strawberry scent like a strawberry candy. Overall, I just love it and I almost run out of this product and I need another one of this.

I also love this Shea body butter from body shop, it keep my skin very hydrating the next morning. I usually use this before sleep and I love the feeling of smoothness onto my skin. And again, it seems like I use it much this month  and need to buy more.

My last favourite is again another favourite from Body Shop: Mango perfume and the Mango body mist which I love the smells very much. Generally, I don't use it every day but when I use it I will use it like a crazy. I spray the body mist and the perfume like more than I use to. It just because I loveee the scent. As you can tell from the picture I already use it half of the bottle for the body mist and the perfume quarter of it.

So yeah that's it for my November favourites in 2013, so what are your favourite for this November?

Products I've used up

Hi guys, it's been a while I didn't update on my blog due to workloads that should be handle. But now I'm no longer as busy as before only one more work to go. Okay, enough with the workload thingy and let's move on to the main subject :). Today, I want to share with you the products that I have used up from the past few months.

FACIAL FOAM

The first products that I have used up was the Garnier Gentle Clarifying Foam. Basically, this product didn't make my skin break out or what so ever and the product was very light and  feel quite gentle and soft on my face as what it describe on the packing but this product does not  give any changes as what I expected this product to be. Since then, I used this product on and off.

Fair and Lovely facial foam has been my old time favourite. However, last year I did stop using this product since I wanted to try out a new facial foam but until now nothing else can beat this facial foam. This product is a very good product because it give me a very soft feeling face after using it. Not only that it cleanses my face well. Another thing is that, it's very affordable as you can tell from the picture itself *lol* I forgot to remove the price label. Overall, for sure I will repurchase it.

SHOWER GEL

If you follow my previous post on Mini Beauty Haul, you might recognized this shower gel. This is my absolute favourite shower gel because it does really give my skin moisturize which I love about it. Not only that, it is also smells really good. 

This had been my favourite shower gel before I found out the dove ones. The only downside of this one that I just realize it left my skin quiet dry but the good thing about it is they provide a divine smell of the shower gel.

BODY EXFOLIATER

Talking about the body exfoliater to remove all of the dead skin I usually do it once a week or twice but not more than that.  The Vanilla Bliss Body polish was quite a good body exfoliater since it smells really good like a freshly baked vanilla cupcakes which makes me want to eat it. After using this scrub it give a very soft and feel very refreshing. 

From the picture you might not able to see that this product is already and completely empty. This is another body scrub that I able to finish off. I really love the smell it is good but I like more the green ones because it smells amazing. First of all, the texture of this product is packed with the tiny little exfoliator which makes me feel that it exfoliate really well my skin. And another thing, this product is Paraben Free. 

DEODORANT 

I have been using this one for a few years now, I used it only because of it smells freesia :))

SHAMPOO

There's nothing to talk much about this product since there's no changes to my hair scalp F.I.Y my hair scalp suffering from the dandruff which really annoyed me. However, I manage to finish this product.

So what are products that you've used up?Mind to share with me?
