Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Big Eyes Mascara : Review

Hi girls!Today I am back with another review. I am currently updating my blog from the office I'm working in right now so basically all photos that I will include is/are from google. Will try to be more consistent in updating my blog. The product that I'm going to review today is a mascara! So, who doesn't love mascaras? Mascaras can instantly change your whole look and if you're lucky enough, you may not need falsies to do the job! This product has been in the market for quite some time and I have owned it for quite a while as well. I got this when it was on sale and I just wanna see whether it is worth the hype or not. I got this for only myr10 when Watson was having a sale so yeah totally a steal as this mascara is retailed at almost myr50 each! Too expensive for a drugstore mascara I would say.. So yes, it is the Volum' Express Falsies Big Eyes Mascara! 

From Google.

Let's first talk about the packaging. The packaging is alright, it's in purple and black which for me is a very good combination of colors. It gives me that grunge feeling, sort of mysterious looking as well. It's obviously plastic and that's cool because you don't have to worry whether you'll break your mascara or not. Wait, do we have mascara in other materials except plastic? Lol. Okay, packaging is fine, I have no problem with the packaging. Another cool thing about this mascara is it is dual end! You basically get two mascaras in one tube! Get me, get me? I absolutely love the one for the lower lashes! It fits perfectly and I don't get all smudge when I apply it to my lower lashes. As for the wands, it's pretty slender if I were to compare it to another wands of other mascaras. 

Now, the formula of the mascara. It's pretty wet if you ask me. But it dries up pretty fast so you might wanna work through your lashes quickly. This mascara will not clump your lashes so if you have encountered clumping lashes problem before this, you might want to give this a try. And this mascara is totally waterproof! I like waterproof mascara but I don't like it when it's so hard to take it off. I had hard times removing this and I was so afraid that all my lashes will go bald lol. I've tried the Benefit's They're Real Mascara (thanks Farah) and I would say the level of the waterproof-ness of these two are pretty much the same. It is so incovenient for Muslim women to use this if we go outside and we want to pray. I would recommend you girls to stay away from this mascara if you can pray and you're going out!

Other than that, I have no complains about this mascara. I like this, not loving this yet. My holy grail mascara is still the Rocket Mascara by Maybelline. Hands down, the best mascara I've ever encountered! Right now, I am dying to try the Too Faced mascara, Better Than Sex. And that would cost me a fortune so that's probably why I've been delaying it. (priorities, girls.)

Until next post, stay tuned beauties!

Borjouis Healthy Mix Foundation : Review

Hello ladies!! I am so freaking excited to finally be able to write something here! My last post was on May 31st 2015, sheesh now is already July... I was caught up with my final exams, final year project and right now, my internship programme. As I'm writing this, I am now left with only one month before my internship ends! Now, that's exciting! Maybe I'll blog about my internship/working experience later. Maybe.. Anyways, I am back with another review and yes I am excited to review about this product! For all the makeup lovers out there, this foundation is not something that is new in the market. It has been a while actually since the product is finally sold in our drugstores (read Watsons). I have just recently gotten the chance to buy this, own this and try this myself! It is a drugstore product but it ain't that cheap. :( I am talking about none other than Borjouis Healthy Mix Foundation! 

Picture credits to Google.

I got this in the shade 52, Vanille. It maches my skin tone purrrfectly! The salesgirl at that time was very helpful as well and really nice. She even tried to persuade me to get their powder but I was not looking for powder and plus I have my other powders to go through first. But yes, I was amazed with Borjouis powder as it is finely milled and it is very lightweight on the skin! Alright, let's talk about the foundation. There are actually two types of this foundation. One is the one I have and the other one is Healthy Mix Serum which I believe have more dewy finish which I don't need because I have oily skin and dewy finish will only make me look like a puddle of oil at the end of the day. The Healthy Mix Foundation has more semi matte to matte finish although I have never seen it up to matte finish unless I set it up with my powder. There are two things that I love about this foundation :

1. The scent smells heavenly! You can actually smell the scent of mix fruits and I love it so much I even sniff at it eventho I don't use it!
2. The foundation feels really really light on the skin eventho you put on two layers! With only one layer, it feels like you don't have anything on your skin!

Here are two photos that I took using the foundation on my first day Raya!

About the coverage, it is buildable. Honestly, I wouldn't say this foundation has the highest coverage ever but you can build the intensity. I prefer my foundation to be only one layer and I use a little bit of concealer with this foundation. With only one layer, it covers my blemishes. It reduces the redness that I have. Overall, I think this foundation is worth the money spent. I still have one whole bottle to go through before I even think about purchasing another bottle or even another foundation! You can get this foundation at Watsons and it retails at the price of RM55++. Happy purchasing dolls! 

Until next post, stay tuned beauties!
