My First Anna Sui

This is also another post that I owe Kitten. I got this Anna Sui Super-Black Full Mascara on my recent trip abroad.

I asked the SA if this was waterproof and she said, “No, it’s water resistant! You can go swimming and it will remain on your lashes” Taray!  So I got one and I also got the beauty box that I showed you in my recent vanity post.

This is indeed super black and I love it! Although it’s water resistant, it’s easy to remove with my Etude House Mascara and Lip & Eye Makeup removers.

I love the fact that it didn’t make my lashes fall out (remember Maybelline?) and it didn’t make my eyes itch. It withstood a whole day (and night) of shopping.

Here’s the wand:

It’s quite long, longer than my regular mascaras. I have a couple of problems though. One is, I think because it’s a thick mascara, it clumps up on the edge of the wand. Another thing is it dries super slow. I always end up with a few smudges on my under eye area. To remedy that, I blot it to get rid of the excess mascara.

Here’s how it looks on me:

It’s quite expensive for a mascara. I think this is about more or less Php1,000. I just wanted to try an Anna Sui product and I’m glad it didn’t disappoint. Will I buy this again? Probably not as I’m very satisfied with Maybelline mascaras that are cheaper. Plus there’s still a lot of brands out there that are waiting to be discovered.

    The price is pretty scary for something that will go bad really quickly but can't deny how good it looks! :)

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
