My Mascara Soul Mate: Lioele Blooming Volume & Curling Mascara

May 18, 2013 by Bun Bun 10 Comments

Lioele-Volume-Curling-Mascara-Review-Photos-Makeup-Look_cover

We may have been in a relationship with several people in our lives, but truly loved only one or two. That one being in the entire universe who gets all your lame jokes, humors you, plays with you, laughs and cries with you and thinks of your socially awkward  nuances as special.

Finding the perfect mascara is like meeting your soul mate. I may have gone through more tubes of mascaras than I have of fingers and toes, but have truly only loved two.

BAHAHAHAHA!!! What’s with all these analogies about soul mates and whatnots! Feeling particularly emotive on this cheery Saturday morning coz it’s Mode day! =P *whistles a happy song*

One of the two was the Lancome Oscillation Mascara, and the other, the subject of review for today – Lioele Volume & Curling Mascara.

How then, does one conclude that a particular mascara is destiny?

LOL! Okie okie, I’ll stop with all these cliched but nonetheless romantic finding-your-soul-mate talk.

Hello, soul mate.

Lioele-Volume-Curling-Mascara-Review-Photos-Makeup-Look_4

If I had to choose between eyeshadow and mascara, I’d take mascara anytime. Mascara opens up your peepers, darkens your lashes, and depending on type, does marvellous things such as volumizing, lengthening, curling, lash-separation and the confidence to flirt your eyes out.

Gimme Fluttery Eyelashes: Dior Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum Review

October 8, 2012 by Bun Bun 5 Comments

Somebody told me I look like a chipmunk in this photo. LOL!

When the last of my previous lash primer – Shiseido Nourishing Mascara Base – dried up, I was in search for the next best eyelash primer, mascara primer, or mascara base, whatever you call it.

A mascara primer is applied before mascara to comb and coat each lash for smoother and more even mascara application. Just like how foundation primer, eyeshadow primer work.

After doing a ton of research, my search was narrowed down to Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum and Lancome Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base.

I was originally inclined to get the Lancome mascara base since the Lancome Oscillation Vibrating Infinite Power Mascara was one of my favorite mascaras. On the other hand, Dior’s Diorshow Iconic Extreme Mascara didn’t leave a good impression on me (dry and clumpy and flaky =__=”), yet despite that, I finally got the Dior lash primer. Simply because reviews on blogs and MUA seemed better. Reviews are so important! (That’s why you’re reading this heh heh)

Chic Packaging

The packaging is expected of a high-end brand like Dior and it stands out with its white tube in my stash of black mascara tubes.

I like that the exterior still looks very much like when I first had it, despite all the tossing and rough handling when I look for it in my mascara drawer. Not that it’s hard to spot though.

The Smashbox Lash Primer looked dilapidated with its peeled wording and faded texture; the Shiseido Nourishing Mascara Base had scratches all over. I’m sure this Dior one has battle scars aplenty, just that the chic glossy packaging covers it all up nicely.

If You Don’t Mind A Big Fat Wand, The Loreal Ultra Volume Collagene Mascara Makes For A Very Good Mascara!

June 8, 2012 by Bun Bun 2 Comments

Remember the time when I threw out ten mascaras at once? Afterwards I was left with just about seven mascaras, liked three or four of them, but only really used one – the Lancome Oscillation Vibrating Infinite Powermascara. And even that was drying out on me. If you follow the ‘Law of Mascara Use’, which states to throw out mascaras every 3-6 months, the Oscillation was close to decay. Lol.

I exhausted the Lancome Oscillation Mascara and when it breathed its last, I had no choice but to go out and get a new mascara. I would have been more excited to go mascara-shopping if not for the fact that I was waiting for my Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara to arrive and was certain that every Lancome-owned mascara would be unconquerable. Was.

We’ll keep that ‘was’ for another time, okie?

The L’Oreal Ultra Volume Collagene Mascara normally retails for S$24.90, but it was on sale for S$15.90 I think? And then I used my Watsons points and got it for just S$11.90! YAY savings!

10 Mascaras I Am Throwing Away For The New Year

January 6, 2012 by Bun Bun 24 Comments

I’m ashamed.

The title of this post was initially ‘10 Makeup Products I Am Throwing Out For The New Year’, instead of one solely for mascaras. But as I rummaged through my mascara drawer, I easily grabbed 10 mascara tubes that have long been abandoned or have expired.

I’m a hoarder, as is my entire family, so my mum has such a hard time clearing out stuff during the annual house clean-up that we Chinese call ‘da sao chu’.

Decluttering can start anytime, from a month before Chinese New Year, to probably a week, depending on how much clutter you have and/or want to get rid of. People practise it due to the belief that cleaning sweeps away all the negative luck of the preceding year and invites good luck for the new year.

The first day of Chinese Lunar New Year 2012 falls on 23 January this year. It usually falls in late January or February as can be seen here, so 23 January is a little early which means I have to start cleaning up my messy table, wardbrobe and other territories soon!

Getting rid of old mascaras is a great start, isn’t it? =)

So here are the 10 mascaras I’m throwing out to welcome the new year!

Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Waterproof Mascara, What Took You So Long To Come To Singapore?

December 7, 2011 by Bun Bun 15 Comments

I saw the Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara on our shelves only about a few weeks ago. Why did it take so long to reach our shores?? GAH!!

My volumizing mascara has already been raved, tested, loved, and done with about a good 6 months ago. I bought it online and did a review of the Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Waterproof Mascara in March 2011.

If I reviewed it in March, this mascara must have been launched eons ago and tested by people in the US way before March.
