Update & Shu Uemura | Calligraph:Ink Review

Instagram:@smfbsg_

Hi World! 

2014 is finally coming to an end.  Before I proceed with the review, I just want to mention that 2014 is one heck of an eventful year. Regardless of fortunate or unfortunate events, life goes on and we have to embrace it. 

It may sound cliché, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Let's move forward together and have a blessed year ahead!

 2015 will be great :')

So now, I will be sharing all about Shu Uemura's Calligraph:Ink Eyeliner that I received from a give away!

The ink and the eyeliner pen is packaged separately.

Comes with an instruction manual on how to install the ink.

 Actual Product | Ink

Pen | Body

                              Love the brush tip, literally felt like the brush used for calligraphy!

Twist the cap to reveal where the ink should be placed.

When installing the ink, do hold the product horizontally to prevent the ink from overflowing

Tilt the product a few times for the ink to appear.

Now, time to put it to the test !

The thing about a brush tip is that 

it gives you a v. amazing control on the thickness of the line that you want ^^

- Doodle Doodle -

| RUB TEST |

It pretty much survived/passed? I guess. 

I will give it a 7 out of 10 since I rubbed it really violently and tbh,

no one in their right mind will rub their eyes THAT violently. 

|Water Test | 

Waterproof?  Don't think it was stated anywhere.

Aww, shucks :( 

6.5 out of 10 maybe?

| Removing Test |

Okay, removing part was easy.

Pressed on the soaked cotton pad for about 8 seconds, and POOF!

No tugging, 10 out of 10 !

Overall thoughts on the product

Quoted from the website:

 "Japanese calligraphy-inspired brush enables to draw any width of line with ultimate control and accuracy. " 

 What I consider a good eye liner is one with great preciseness and durability.

Preciseness is definitely there, but durability? I'll still have to try it.

Though there is a plus point! Its environmentally-friendly as you can just purchase the refill after one is used up.

I will rate it a 7.8/10 

The eyeliner pen and refill are sold separately at SGD$29 each.

What's your thoughts on this product? Do comment below ! (:

Hi World!

I will be sharing some of my most used hightlighters from my stash, and as for the irrelevant title, I do feel that highlighters are fairy dusts. 

Just pop some of it and it will add a WOW factor to your look (:

 

Without further ado,  

Here's some shot of it!

|1|

Sleek Face Form Palette in Light

This palette comes with a bronzer, a blush and a highlighter

Swatch for the highlighter in the middle .

|2|

The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer

This highlighter has hint of gold in it!

|3|

Essence Cosmetics | Hugs and Kisses Trend Edition Blush

I know what you are thinking, why include this when its a blush?

This blush is too shimmery for my liking *as you can see from the swatch* but it works perfectly fine as a highlighter with a little hint of pink/purple.

|4|

Essence Cosmetics | Fantasia Trend Edition

This blush has a 3D imprint, So from L:R 

its the base, the top and the mixture of both top and bottom .

Lip Treat | Lip Crayons

Hi World!

I'm not a fan of lip crayons since its such a hassle to sharpen them,
 but recently I got my hands on the zoeva lip crayons through Luxola and the
3ce one from my friend who went to Korea.

Here's some shot of it and I will share some of my thoughts on the products
at the end of the post!

First Stop

3 Concept Eyes Jumbo Lip Crayon | Bohemian Pink

Next,

Zoeva Lip Crayon|Pencil

Top| Tender Rose

Bottom| Silly Love

|Swatches|

L:R | Bohemian Pink |Tender Rose| Silly Love

Thoughts on the products :

As you can see from the swatches, 3ce lip crayon in Bohemian Pink has a sheer finish as compared to the Zoeva ones which have satin finish.

 Zoeva lip crayons are also more pigmented than the 3CE lip crayon.

Surprisingly, I love the colour Silly Love more than Tender Rose even though I love rose-coloured lip products a lot. 

Silly love complements my yellow skin-undertone.

Product Rating : 3CE | 3.5/5

                              Zoeva | 3.8/5
