PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: MAX FACTOR FALSE LASHES EFFECT MASCARA (BLACK)

Here's an initial review on MAX FACTOR FALSE EYELASH EFFECT MASCARA (BLACK)

PRICE: AROUND 795PHP

PLACE BOUGHT: LANDMARK, MAKATI CITY

OTHER LOCATIONS: SELECTED MALLS AND BOUTIQUES WITH MAX FACTOR RETAIL COUNTERS

THE VERDICT:

I once saw this in my friend's make- up bag. I was a bit skeptic with Max Factor items before because their lashfinity wasn't really impressive, according to my mom. It gave her teary eyes every time she wears it because according to her, it stings her eyes! I had the chance to try it and it just gave me stupid clumpy lashes every time I use it.

But the false effect mascara looked fabulous on my friend's eyes. It's like she always has false eyelashes on! Perfect! Just how I want my lashes to look like. But it also helped that her lashes were already lush and the MF false lash effect mascara enhanced it.

So I gave it a shot last Christmas. Actually, this review is looong overdue. I had this for quite sometime now and I've been enjoying it ever since I acquired it. 

That just gives you an idea on how busy I am. No, I am not being lazy on my blog. Ya' know how I'd post like crazy per day on my blog. But it's just that my schedule's eating up my time, brain cells and energy. But I promise, this week, I'll be updating my blog for my dear readers and followers.

So, for now, I'll get this MF mascara review over and done with.

The packaging is quite fat so expect it to eat a bit of space in your make- up kit. I do hope that it does have a lot of the actual product inside that's why the tube is fat!

So here is the wand. Actually, the wand sucks big time. Its bristles are so sparse and tiny, it's like you're applying mascara with a wand without bristles at all! If you're no expert in applying mascara, you'll end up with weird- looking clumpy lashes. It's like wearing bad- looking false eyelashes on your peepers.

Honestly, I thought at first that this is a total waste of money, But like all mascaras, you just have to get used to using them.

After 3- 4 usages, I've finally gotten used with the wand. And I actually appreciated it more. It actually helps your lashes absorb a good amount of the mascara gunk so it'll look volumized and infused in an instant. A minute that you allot in between application can help you achieve that fabulous- looking fan lashes in an instant.

And in terms of staying power, it doesn't run off nor flake during the day. I have the washable variant and it slides off easily with soap and water. It also comes in the waterproof variant.

Will I buy this again? Why not? As far as I'm concerned, I'm lovin' this product but it's quite expensive. But If I have extra cash, why not? Maybelline's colossal is a tad cheaper so I'll be settling for that because it does the same effect (or maybe more, or maybe I'm just biased 'cos it's my HG haha. :p) at a cheaper price.

But seriously, my friend's right. It's HG material. :)

Toe Dancing Back To Me

I am strong.

I believe in balance.

&

I am toe dancing

back to me~

I am searching hard,

talking out loud,

&

praying in silence

for my space,

so that I can keep my balance...

My balance comes from my time
alone.
Some, always love people around them.
Do you ?
or
Do you love being alone?


I celebrate when I am alone.

It is a communion between
me & myself.

Staying balanced in life is

just like a toe dance~

You must be strong, graceful

&

honor your dance~

Have a Beautiful Weekend!

Watching her beautiful beautiful

Marie Antoinette last

year was an unforgettable event Mandy

shared with us all, every single step.

She welcomed us with open arms into her

Beautiful world!

Mandy shares her celebrations in life

and moments of motherhood.

Sometimes she will share a date with

Mr. a la parisienne~

Mandy is honest. She gently shares thoughts

of change through her life of being a

She tried so beautifully to teach us all

French on Fridays.

Mandy is very special to me.

I hold her close to my heart.

She was one of my first friends

in my blogging family.

We both started our blogs last year in Feb.

my blogging journey.

Mandy's eye is most romantic.

She creates handmade flower brooches.

Above is my favorite one

New release: chocolate box!

I know it's late to release a Valentine's Day item, but I didn't manage to finish it earlier. I completely redesigned my chocolate box - and that means new sculpties, new textures, new scripts etc. - and now it is a cute box holding an assortment of veeeeeryyy delicious sculptie chocolates :)



You can use the touch menu to select the chocolate you want. There are six types of chocolates to choose from:

• Milk Chocolate With Cream Filling
• White Chocolate With Strawberry Filling
• Dark Chocolate With Almond Filling
• White Chocolate With Coffee Filling
• Milk Chocolate With Hazelnut Filling
• Dark Chocolate With Marzipan Filling

The chocolates are scripted with 'eating a chocolate' animation (with mouth expression!)



You get two versions of the box with your purchase: one version to attach, with 'holding the box' animation, and another one to rez.






There is also a 3 prim version included for those of you that prefer to save on prims - it's simply a closed box, but it's fully functional, dispenses chocolates and looks nice!



I also included all the chocolates without any scripts for attaching fun. Attach them to your mouth or hands, use silly poses and take pictures (make a copy of all chocolates before doing so, just in case)!



The box cost 150L$ and is a cool way to say 'I love you' to someone (or you can secretly buy it for yourself and eat all the chocolates ;)). The bad news is that I didn't have time to put the box on Xstreet and it's no transfer, so you have to take your love to the shop. Sorry! But it's Valentine's Day and I'm off to drink some mulled wine with my other half ;)

I hope you too have an awesome Valentine's Day!

TAXI to the shop

Do You Remember?

Do you remember

your first

Kiss?

I do, but it wasn't that special....

I was in 6th grade.

His name was George.

It was a Saturday.

My friend & I rode bikes

to his house.

I was taller than him.

I was grounded when I came home

but I couldn't wait to

go to school on Monday.

I never kissed George again.

I wish you a day full of

Butterfly kisses

&

all the love your heart can hold~

Happy Valentines Day

my adorable friends!!

There's No Place Like Home

As I celebrated my birthday today

I shut my eyes,

clicked my heals three times

and repeated

"There's no place like HOME".

It comforts me like no where else

in this whole world.
