MUFE & Random Makeup

 

To all nerdy working females, I feel your pain!

It’s the year end and the work stuff is driving me nuts..
* Scrambling for missing documents ( not my fault at all)

* Accounting and Finance matters to sort out
* Projects to watch over
* New Projects to govern

*OMG, give me a kit kat

So nuts that I slept 13 hours non stop on Saturday night and had to switch my brain off from anything work related.
My family and Hubby drove up to Johor for a visit to Jusco, had a great lunch at this grill place that looked like a cool tree house thingy, bought some stuff and drove back to spore. That was a real nice breather and a nice 4 hours get away for me.

Here’s what I bought from Daiso:

1) A really lousy eyeliner that I had to go over many many times just to get it looking black.

2) This white eyelash glue is from Korea and frankly, it’s not too bad for 2 SGD.

Here’s a pic of me wearing falsies using this EYELASH GLUE and CALLAS Falsies( I’m liking this falsies):

 

Bought this shimmery pink eyeshadow from elianto in Jusco . It’s the first time I’ve seen or heard of this brand. This single eye shadow retails for around 3 SGD and is a really pretty shimmery pink color :)
  

 

Last week , a  bad work incident saw me  on a crazy shopping spree.  Thankfully, I was still sane enough to remember that my new home would leave me super poor real soon and I had to control myself * a little*.

 An angry me is a shopaholic me so here’s what I got:

I really really wanted this aqua eyes from MUFE. When I tested it out, it was even better than MAC. Smoother, Creamier, Richer and definitely pigmented, plus they did not smudge. I was going to get this liner from MUFE, but they had run out of stock for the black so I ended up being persuaded to buy the AQUA CREAMLINER( WATERPROOF) in black. View Full Album I use a lot of black cream liners and when I tried out the tester pot at Sephora’s MUFE stand, it was so smooth and really easy to apply. When I tried out my brand new MUFE creamliner at home however, it was so hard. It was not creamy and I had alot of difficulty trying to get my brush into the cream. I took it back to the lady at MUFE and told her that the pot had dried out and I was really unhappy with the hardened cream liner.I told her that I had never experienced such a hard cream eyeliner. Even my drugstore Japanese eyeliner had been around for a year plus and was not even half as dry as the pot she sold me. She simply reassured me that their waterproof eyeliner is a little tough at the beginning but it would be totally normal after working your brush into the deeper layers. She used her brush to remove the top layers and persuaded me that all I had to do was to use it till reached the deeper layers. * I totally dun buy this crap* Normally, I would have insisted on an exchange but I had thrown away my receipt thinking that MUFE products would be really high quality plus the tester was really really smooth. Personally, I would not buy this product again. The second item I bought from MUFE is this red lip liner which I purchased out of sheer impulse. It’s so much creamier and smoother than the cream liner so no complaints here.   It keeps my lipstick from bleeding and with this color, I wouldn’t need to buy a red lipstick, I just fill my whole lip with it and blend it together with a clear lip gloss. Great for defining the lips.

What it does: HD complexion collection uses innovative formulas to create a new generation of makeup that is invisible on high-definition cameras and to the naked eye. This unique, lightweight elixir absorbs quickly into the skin, instantly hydrating and brightening the complexion. The breakthrough formula contains D-Panthenol and Glycerin to ensure an immediate boost of hydration (+520% after 15 minutes) that lasts throughout the day (+175% after 6 hours). Argatensyl is added to provide an immediate smoothing effect. Each ingredient was specifically added to prepare skin for high- definition makeup—so you can count on the camera picking up the perks of this perfecting formula. What else you need to know: This product is oil and paraben free and dermatologist tested. MY THOUGHTS ON THIS PRODUCT: It does reduce skin flakiness without making the skin look greasy. However, I did get a zit or two after using this clear light weight gel.  I used it around my eye area as well but did not feel that my eyes look very hydrated or smooth the next day. My Vitacreme B12 does a better job of hydration and plumping. **Seems like MUFE range of products may not be suitable for my skin type.

Kesha Silver Eyes & Dresses

 

 

 

 

I Kesha’s eye MTV & Makeup. It seems to me that the silver eye is really hot right now and I really love how silver makes brown eyes pop !

I tried to recreate it but it ended a little bit dark… she’s got a bit more grey to her eyes… I used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pigment in IRONIC & Coastal Scents Silver Glitter.

 

 

  












 

Since a few of you left comments on my previous purple look, I thought I would show you some pictures of a purple glittery eye I did a long time ago. I
used a black jumbo eye pencil by NYX and topped off with some purple glitter.


 

On other fashion matters, I saw this really beautiful red themed gal on Tokyo Fashion. Personally I think she looks so cool, cause her hair, lips and tights are a matching shade of red!! I love her style. I love how her dress has red flowers too!! So pretty!

 

 

 

 

You might be wondering why I am posting these pictures, but I really love this dress by Max Mara. My mom passed it to me cause she can’t wear it to work. I love it! 

 

I bought 2 items from MUFE. Next post!!

REVLON’S FANTASY LENGTHS REVIEW

I’ve noticed lately how false eyelashes can really open up my small eyes and when I get really lazy and don’t feel like doing any eye makeup, I just put on falsies and immediately my eyes look bigger. I prefer false eyelashes with the thicker band ( but comfortable bands) as they give the illusion of eyeliner when gunning for a natural look and a more invisible lash band when I do a dramatic eye look , so as not to distract from the eye makeup.

I was sent a box of Revlon’s Fantasy Lengths Lashes ( 2 self adhesive and 2 glue on ) as well as a box of Revlon’s Nails to test out and so far, I’m loving the lashes because they make my eyes look so good naked.

**I am not advertising for Revlon and will give my personal thoughts on these lashes**

 

Anyhow, here’s my review on these oh so soft and natural looking lashes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

REVLON FANTASY LENGTHS 

( Glue on)

 

INTENSIFYING 91002 

 

 

FLIRTY 91003

 

 

 

 

 

Application:

1) Trim Lashes to fit

2) Apply glue to eyelash eyelash lash band

3) Allow to dry for a few seconds(really fast or it will dry up) and apply onto lash line

Pros:  I love how authentic and natural looking these lashes are. They look like my real lashes only way way longer. I like how easily and seamlessly they blend with my own lashes. All I have to do is curl my lashes and add a tiny bit of curling mascara and put these lashes on. ( Great for lazy people who don’t have time to do eye makeup and want to still have pretty looking eyes)

These falsies come with a white glue which is pretty sticky and dries pretty fast.

Cons: I found application difficult due to the thin and very soft eyelash spine. I had to use a pair of tweezers and my fingers to get the eye lash in place and it took me quite some time. I am used to thicker and firmer eyelash bands that are are quicker and easier to put on.

I also find that with these lashes, I have to wear eyeliner because the band is a clear color and it shows up pretty obvious in macro shots.

REVLON FANTASY LENGTHS

(Self Adhesive)

INTENSIFYING 99500

DEFINING 99501 

APPLICATION:

1) Have really dry and clean hands, before peeling off the lashes gently from the lashes stand. 

The adhesive glue strip is sticky.

2) Trim to fit

3) Fit lashes at base of lash line, wiggle and press the lashes into the base of natural lash line to get it as close as possible

4) Using the applicator provided, press the lashes

 

5) Viola ` very natural, pretty lashes!~










 

6) TO REUSE-

This band can only be used a few times because it becomes less tacky after 1-3 uses. Thankfully it comes with an extra lash band.

All you have to do is peel off the used adhesive glue strip and reattach onto the replacement glue strip on the lash stand. Super easy to do.

Since I’ve been running short of time lately,  I tried using normal lash glue on it  and it works perfectly !

The best part is that I won’t need to throw away these gorgeous self adhesive lashes once the glue adhesive wears off !!

 

 

 

 

 

 

PROS: I prefer the self adhesive lashes over the glue on lashes . They are easier to apply due to the firmer lash band  and  holds really well for a long duration ( 4 hours and looking great). They feel comfortable and softer than a lot of fake lashes I have tried and they do not peel off easily, UNLESS you have thick emollient eye makeup.

Also, because the band is black, I do not have to put on eyeliner when I am going for the natural look. I like the eyelash applicator thingy cause it’s pretty useful and it does help the lashes to fit perfectly, definitely feels safer than poking a tweezer at my lash area.

CONS: It’s pretty clear that REVLON FANTASY LENGTH  are really beautiful natural looking lashes but I must say that it could be a little challenging to apply especially for a newbie.

A first timer would have difficulty wearing these lashes cause it’s much softer  than cheap low grade lashes. Self adhesive lashes are  easier to apply compared to the glue ons.

I’ve heard that these lashes are expensive?? Since I can’t even get this locally ( really sucks)  I am not able to inform about the price.

 

My Favourite Falsies of the pack has to be 99500!

See how my current collection has grown!
