Duo Eyelash Adhesive & Ardell Fashion Lashes


So I have jumped on the eyelash bandwagon and I love to wear fake eyelashes. Yes.. I even wore them to the office without anybody noticing too much. Having fake nails and wearing fake eyelashes keeps a peppy step in my walk. Yes it sounds fake but ask any girl who wears them, they put a little luxe in your life~

I occasionally wore eyelashes here and there but seeing there is a big trend where girls all not just wearing them to club nite but to the office, I'd thought I invest in some good glue and glasses. I usually buy my synthetic lashes at the Daiso store in Aberdeen mall and they work great. The glue I have now is the one that dries into a gummy yellow color. I lost my previous one that turns dark so I bought the dark again. I also got the Ardell lashes made out of real hair and see how they work out. We'll see!

What da MAC?

















The bad habits I've accumulated the past month.. But I'm not blaming myself, I ran out of makeup for the last 6 months so I decided to just buy everything !

The first girl sold me on their new Mineralize SatinFinish SPF 15 Foundation and powder. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so this is a perfect line for me. Its quite sheer but makes your skin look pretty smooth. The only downside is that the foundation has that darn sparkle in it but its not too much. (Since coming back from the Mayan Riveria I haven't been able to use this makeup cause I got a shade too dark.. I'm keepin them around for the winter). I also bought their baked mineral eyeshadow, LOVE this eyeshadow.

Overall the MAC mineral makeup work pretty good, what I DO NOT recommend is the Baresenutals mineral powder they sell at Sephora. IT SUCKS although their brushes are great.

The second girl sold me on the Studio Fix(which I requested to buy from the first salesgirl but steered me towards the mineral). I've always loved the studio fix, it does a good job giving medium coverage and it has a mirror(a plus!). I also got the DazzleGlass in Steppin Out cause I feel fabulous in it haha

Side note, the 5 times I visited a MAC counter I only got service 2wice but those two times the MAC "makeup artist" aka salespersons were quite fun to deal with.

Marcelle Gentle Make-Up Remover for Sensitive Eyes


Marcelle is Canadian brand, made in Montreal. It is a dual action(oil and remover) formula that you shake before you put it to remove your makeup. I find this is a good and cheaper alternative to the famous Lancome's Effacil remover. I wear contact lenses and I do need to remove my lenses before I use this makeup remover as the oil sticks to the lenses. It does a great job and it is very cooling on your skin. I recommend leaving using a cotton pad and soaking it on your eyelid for a good 10 seconds before wiping away. Would I recommend this product? Yes. Side note: I do not recommend using any Sephora Eye Makeup Removers as it stings your eyes badly.
