Cat Eyes

Need I say more? You know what I'm talking about by just reading the title.


I finally bought one in preparation for the wedding we attended last March. Yes, all the raves are true but let me share with you some points from a girl with very sensitive eyes.

The mascara has curling effects. Even if you don't curl your lashes, you will still end up with brighter eyes. The mascara includes a comb wand which is a first for me. 



For my everyday look, I apply one coat. For the wedding, I applied two coats on each eye. I still have to shake the wand when applying because sometimes the product clumps up. If I can't fix it with the comb, I "blot" my lashes on a piece of tissue to remove the excess. 

This is great even if you have sensitive eyes as long as you remain in a cold place. Once sweat gets mixed in, my eyes become itchy. It also kinda "melts" (lacking a better term) when it's hot making my eyes red. I know it's waterproof but my eyes don't lie. It doesn't make the area under my eyes black though so that's a plus. Be careful not to scratch your eyes as you may end up with falling lashes. 

I can easily remove this with my Etude House Makeup Remover then wash off with another Etude House product (which I will tell you about really soon). I remove this immediately when I get home to avoid eye allergies.

The Maybelline Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara is always out of stock at Beauty by SM and Watsons so if you want to try this, go buy one immediately when you see it!

    Hi Lady E! First reason why I bought this is because it says Cat eyes, I'm a sucker for cats! lol. But so far this works wonders, it makes my lashes looks longer, although it can weigh down when eyes get wet (i.e crying), though the mascara stays there.

    One trick I do is to blow dry the eye curler for 10 seconds and my mascara stays longer and brightens my eyes perfectly ;)

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
