My Travel Makeup Essentials For A Seven Day Trip To Taiwan

July 24, 2011 by Bun Bun 12 Comments

Besides beauty product reviews and makeup tutorials, I love reading posts about beauty bloggers sharing with their readers on ‘What’s in my purse’, ‘My top 5 beauty products’, ‘Makeup essentials for a trip’, you know, lists of favorites.

I’d just returned from a trip to Taiwan when I read Leesha’s post on what she brought on a trip. So that inspired me to write mine too! The picture above is also a Taiwan Tourism Logo inspired-picture! Must not copy exactly though, copyright issues! XD

I actually meant to get this post up long ago. Like reeeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy long ago. 5 months? It somehow got buried under and I cleanly forgot about it. But it’s a good thing though, since now I would have reviewed more products than I did 4 months ago.

Some of the products mentioned in this post I may have stopped using by the time of writing – like mascara which must not be used for more than 6 months, and others which I may have found better alternatives. It’s been 4 months, things get used up and there’s always a new contender! =)

Now let’s get started!

Here are what I brought with me on my seven days Taiwan trip!

I just HAD to bring that many makeup items. And I haven’t even started on the tools yet!

I really tried to cut down, but these are my travel makeup essentials! XD

The Best Eyelash Curler For Asian Eyes – Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Review

March 29, 2011 by Bun Bun 11 Comments

I don’t know how I managed to survive the past 9 years without the Shu Uemura eyelash curler.

Actually I had it before, it was my very first eyelash curler and I bought it because everyone said it was good. It was extremely expensive to a poor student like me back then (it is still now!) but I thought there must be a reason why everyone swears by it, so I scrimped and saved for it. My eyelashes went from *hmm* to *WOW!* the first time I used the Shu Uemura eyelash curler. But we humans never appreciate the things in our lives and think that the grass is always greener on the other side.

5 Common Mascara Mistakes & Tips

March 29, 2011 by Bun Bun 8 Comments

The other day I was giving my friend a fast makeover. It was her birthday and her boyfriend was going to pick her up for a night of surprise and romance. She already had foundation and some light eyeliner on (her every day look) but for this special occasion I wanted to pump up the oomph a little more.

While I was curling her lashes, she asked with wide-eyed wonder

“Shouldn’t we use mascara first then the curler?”

After recovering from shock I screamed at her “NO!! Never curl your lashes AFTER mascara has been applied!”

“But it’s easier to curl coz the lashes are wet”

“Noooooo………!!!”

I then told her the acts she should not subject a mascara to and the reason for each. It dawned on me that there still are people who do exactly the many NO-NOs of mascara application. So I thought I might as well share it on my blog. Give your mascara some TLC and it will love you and your eyelashes back! <3

Here are 5 common mascara mistakes and tips on how to care for your mascara:
