Bonjour... Viva La BOURJOIS!

Hello Babes...

So glad you made it here.

Wah... you must be thinking,

some contact lens review right?

No lar.... sa-la already.

I am reviewing another brand of pencil eyeliner,

and comparing it to all the others I used thus far.

The thing with pencil eyeliner is . . .

it is suitable for amatuers

who would love to start lining their water lines

and bring out the confidence in themselves

yet, not wanting to look like a panda...

Yah, if you do not buy good eyeliners,

esp the pencil ones,

you WILL END UP A PANDA!!!

Liquid eyeliners will never have this issue

just ensure they are waterproof,

just like their pencil type sisters..

but for liquid eyeliners once you draw them wrong,

esp if you are attempting the "winged" cat eye look,

you run the risk of turning out like

the Wicked Witch of the West.

I mentioned a few posts ago that I use Revlon's

non-sharpening eyeliner right?

Then a gf of mine reviewed MAC's eyeliner

and I also tried that.

Lately, I got a Xmas Pressie

and I love receiving branded makeup

from those who know me!!! Haha....

(Anyways, I love receiving presents, period.)

So anyways...

I present:

Ta Da!

The smoky effect pencil eyeliner...

comes in both matte and glitter types.

Great for every whim and fancy

comes in colours that suit every occassion

mood, and is so smooth to glide on.

Plus, the other side of this pencil has

a Nifty Little Brush!!!

NOW HOW COOL IS THAT!!???!!!

Awesome!

(Very worthwhile lar!! For $17.90

and now got 20% OFF some more!)

This brush is to help you fill in the gaps.

You know how most girls you come across

do not know how to line their eyeliner

that when you look at them,

you see Black and then in between their lashes

and the black line is GASP!

their own skin...

meaning to say,

THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO LINE FULLY!

So... this brush is saving grace.

It will help noobs / rookies who are new to this process

and those who *ahem*

do not know how to line their eyes

by brushing the colour after you first draw a line

along your eyelid, the brush can

help you extend the line

so that you get

A PERFECT CAT EYE!

And, if you like it intense,

just line it again, after you have brushed and

covered the gaps and done your cat eye.

Viola... simple right?

If you are afraid of making mistakes,

do it one small stroke at a time,

you can clean the wrong bits off

with a Q-tip (cotton bud).

I personally prefer this brand

over all the rest i have used in the past.

Including my lazy Revlon & MAC ones...

this one may require a sharpener

but it has a brush...

I got one brown in glitter (glitzy mocha)

and a super black one (intense black)

plus it is cheap & always

during festive season,

Bourjois always conducts A SALE!

LIKE NOW...

I leave you with a pic of me

with the intense black on..

Rating: 4/5

Ease of Use (to me): Super Easy but it is not waterproof so there maybe some running.

Will I Buy it again: Yes, in fact, I will switch to this permanently if

the running of colour under my eye isn't so bad.

MAC Retractable Eyeliner

HELLO Darlings... Its the most wonderful time of the year!

And it is also the time where ladies head out to shop in full force...

Simply because the Sales are all raring to go!

I headed to Sephora today to stock up on goodies

(will write on those soon!!)

And the Sephora Holiday Blockbuster is OUT OF STOCK...

the 160 colour block for only $79.00 is sold out baby!

Anyways, back to MAC...

I have not bought to try this,

this review came from a reader who is kind enough to share

and I tested this on the back of my hand only.

Graphite Black MAC retractable Eyeliner (read:no need to sharpen)

costs $29.00 and is smudge & waterproof.

Lasts like the entire day.

I saw it on this reader for an entire day

I do spend time with her and notice her sparkling eyes.

However, the downside is, it lasts 1.5months if used daily.
But it works like a charm....
I am gonna get one to try after I am done with my Relvon babies.

RATING (From Reader - Glamazon NL): 4/5

Ease of Use: As easy as colouring

Would I Buy It: Yes.

What I Use On A Daily Basis - Revlon Waterproof Eyeliner Auto Pencil

Hello People...

As I muster the strength for one last thinking thing of the day

before I KO due to my mountain of medication

(yes, I am still sick and I don't feel pretty.. )

Thought I share with you on what I use on a daily basis...

REVLON...

Sounds old? ? ?

Yeah, I thought so too when I first tried it

I was skeptical

but even the skeptic in me was surprised,

in a good way

by how easy it was to handle the product

and you need not even sharpen the baby!

All you need to do is turn it,

so that the amount you need surfaces

and just line the top of your lashes with this

as it has kohl in it, lining your eyelids is a breeze,

plus it is waterproof

and it gives me enough intensity

and it's cheap, I usually buy mine

during sale, at $13.90 per stick

and each stick lasts 2.5 to 3 months

depending on the thickness that I draw

everyday.

See above, that's the amount used for both eyes if you draw thick lines

if not, it is lesser.

And I love how any normal eye makeup remover will get rid of it

in one swipe.

So yeah, I will use this everyday, esp more so now that I am sick,

it sorts of acts as a cover for the red / dying / dark circles that

came along with this virus.... I mean, how to sleep well when

the cough can awaken you from your sleep, right?

Hope you will love this baby as much as I do.

Rating: 5/5

Will I buy this again: What's there not to love... of cos!

Ease of Use: Its like colouring, take pencil and draw.

Za Eye Makeup (NEW!)

Hey Girls....

I took a super long break from blogging

as something happened at home

and needed my time. (Dad's very sick)

Hope you understand.

I will be back on this everyday (almost)

anyways, this period also saw me trying out new products

for both skin and makeup

plus I went South Korea

so the facial masks haul was like

a truckload!!!

You see the image above,

saucy right? Today I will be reviewing on all

4 of the fabulous mascaras that ZA has newly launched

as well as the automatic Pencil Eyeliner.

ZA has come up with a pretty decent Mascara Base (white)

that does an OK job at lengthening and curling (a tad)

your eye lashes, prepping them for any mascara to come actually

but I used it in conjunction with ZA's latest trio;

Volume -

said to give you Va VA VOOM lashes, which I don't really like

as it is clumpy if used alone.

Long -

said to give you extra long, to die for doe-eyed peepers

which is so friggin' TRUE!! I love how the brush curves

and allows you to reach those sparse tiny lashes

Wide Eyes -

 said to give you a dolly watery-eye look but I prefer using this

on my lower lashes only, for the top, I combined long and volume

to give the desired "falsies" effect as my lashes are already

quite long. The Wide Eye brush is like a comb

it really catches onto every strand of your lower lash

and thickens it by x3 so you look like some hot Jap babe (easily).

The picture above depicts LONG's brush.

As for the other products like the Eye Makeup Remover,

I do not really like it much, even though it does the job,

simply because it is quite oily,

and I have normal to combination skin

yet this baby above is quite heavy on the oil

leaving a film of oil there, thankfully I use this before shower

so, it does get wash off easily,

just that, if you wear contacts

it does accumulate like a film of "blurry" residue behind

WHICH I DON'T LIKE... it is Yikey!

As for the automatic pencil eyeliner below,

known as Ever Liners...

Honestly, they leave lots of room for improvement,

I am disappointed in them.

The colour does not stay well,

it is hard to apply on your lids as the formula is too dry

causing one to drag and tug (which will give you wrinkles in time)

so I threw the one I bought away...

Yup, it was that painful!!!!!

Rating: Mascara + Base gets 4/5 Stars

Will I buy them again: SURE!

Ease of Use: Just twist, apply and DO NOT PUMP the ward stick

Rating: Eye Makeup Remover + Eyeliner gets Blah! 1.5/5 Stars

Will I buy them again: Never

Ease of Use: Oily and Painful respectively

Plus side:most of the items costs less than SGD$20 each
