Whats on my eye Wednesday - What i wore for the movie hunger games

Hi loves, 


                I went to watch The Hunger Games recently, I am such a huge fan and ive read all of the books, i was so excited to watch the movie and i loved it to bits. So this tutorial is what i wore to watch the movie, its my take on what katniss would wear for an event in the capitol. 


So lets get started.

1 -  Prime your eyelids to prevent your look from creasing. 

2- Apply NYX jumbo pencil in French fries all over your lid

3. On your outer crease apply a matte black and blend it in with French Fries

4. Then take a flat shader brush and apply a golden brown shimmer eye shadow on top of french fries this would help keep the cream product in place. 

5- Keep applying the matte black and blend it out till you get the desired result.

6 - Line the inner lower lash line with a black pencil liner.

7 -  Curl your lashes and apply black mascara to top and bottom lashes. 
 
8 - Apply your other makeup as usual.

Here is the finished look

Products I used

Face

- Inglot Foundation

- Inglot pressed powder

- Garnier under eye circle eye roll on concealer 

- Essence 3 in 1 concealer

Eyes

- Elianto eye primer

- Nyx jumbo eye pencil in french fries

- 88 eye-shadow palette

- Avon super Enchant mascara

Lips

- Nyx round  lipstick in paris

Nail Attack Tuesday - Elianto Nail Polish In Tyrian Purple

Hi loves,


               For this weeks nail attack ive choosen Elianto's Tyran Purple & Platinum Pearl. When i took out this colour to wear i dint think i would like it, but after wearing it, i absolutely love it to death. This polish was a bit sheer one the first coat, but after the second one it was true to colour. Then i applied platinum pearl over it.

You can check out Elianto' s website for more details.

Review Monday- Maybelline Magnum Volum Express Waterproof Mascara

hi loves,


               I know is been ages since ive posted, i missed blogging a lot. I will be continuing as usual pretty soon so bare with me. So today i will be reviewing Maybelline Magnum Volum Express Waterproof Mascara in Black, wow that is a mouth full :).  If you want to check out my mascara junkie haul click here


let me tell you how i ended up buying this mascara, i had been wanting colossal for a while now, i looked up reviews and stuff so when i was in the store i saw the yellow tube and i picked it up without even checking if it was colossal, and i ended up with Maybelline Magnum Volum Express instead. And i even picked up the wrong colour i picked up washable brown instead of black. I went back and purchased black again since i couldn't return it. I know sucks rite. 


lets get started with the review 


What Maybelline claims
* 9X more volume
* Collagen formula pumps & volumizes lashes giving that luscious look
* seeks out the smallest lashes and coats them evenly
* no clumping 

The Brush


I love the brush, its exactly like the one from falsies, since it has a lot of bristles it would help coat all of your lashes.

The Review

My bare lashes

My lashes with two coats of mascara

My lashes side view

Ive curled my lashes prior to applying mascara. I applied two coats of magnum on to my lashes. I am not sure if you can see in the picture, but it took a while for this mascara to dry, but fortunately it didn't smudge and cause raccoon eyes . It did coat my lashes evenly and give it a good definition, but i didn't get that false lash effect like it did with the falsies. When i look for a mascara i actually look for volume, lots and lots of it, and if you noticed in first picture where my lashes are bare, you can see that i have a lot of lashes, but once the product was applied my lashes clumped. 

And this product is a pain to get off, well if your using garnier make up remover milk that is, or even if you use a cleansing oil. No matter how much i tried it wouldn't come of. But if you use a make up remover it removes the mascara off in a few swipes. 

In a nutshell

Pros

- water proof

- lasts all day

- no smudging

- holds the curl

- affordable

- build-able

Cons

- difficult to remove with remover milk

- doesn't volumize much

- clumps slightly

- would be hard to achieve volume with thin short lashes

I would rate this product 7.5/10


i would recommend this mascara to those who have full lashes and just want a few coats of mascara. Actually i am not disappointed with this product i just wish it would add extra volume.


A tube of Maybelline Magnum mascara retails at RM35.90 at watson or guardian.

Review Monday- Maybelline Falsies Mascara

Hi lovelies, 


                 Its been a long time since ive posted, sorry about that ive been so busy with uni. I am done with some of my work and i am taking a break to write a review on Maybelline Falsies Mascara. If you want to check my mascara haul click here.


so lets get on with the review. 


Everyone has been talking about the falsies, when i first read and watched the reviews i knew i had to try it out my self and see what the fuss was all about. 

ok here is what the mascara claims

The Claims:

False lashes, instantly

• Patented Spoon Brush fans out lashes from corner-to-corner, while our Pro-Keratin formula instantly builds volume without clumping
• Unique flexible wand helps to lift and separate lashes to provide the look of 300% more visible, fuller lashes, no gaps from any angle
• Contact lens safe and ophthalmologist-tested
• Waterproof, also available in Washable formula 

The Brush 


The brush is curved such that it would fit the curve of your lashes. i loved that the brush has alot of bristles, this would help coat all the lashes.

The Review 

My Bare Lashes 

                                                    My lashes with two coats of mascara 

My lashes side view 

When i applied this mascara i noticed with one coat my lashes were evenly coated. I applied two coats to give it that false lash effect. Since the brush is curved, it coats the lashes while giving it a perfect curl. This mascara is build able but you need to make sure to do it right to avoid over clumping. Its actually best to build it up while its wet on your lashes. This mascara does actually make my lashes pop, it gives good volume and length although it did not look like false lashes to me, but it was close. Its actually great for a person who wants that false lash effect but does not know how to wear false lashes or does not want to wear them. And this mascara lasts all day. 


The only downside to this product is taking off the mascara, i used Garnier make up remover milk, it does remove the mascara but there is still some left behind on my lashes. And some times a lash or two comes off while removing the mascara which sucks, i am not sure if anyone else faces this problem but i do. But i still love this product. 


I rate this product 8.5/10 and i would recommend this to everyone.


You can find this product at any local drug store, here in Malaysia it retails for Rm 35.90

what's on my eye Wednesday ( Every day make up for uni)

Hi ladies,

               For this weeks make up tutorial,  i will be showing you what i wear to university on the days i don't feel like using colour. Ive used browns in this look to give a softer appearance. Its very simple and extremely easy to achieve. so lets begin.

                                                         

1. Always start with priming your lids to prevent your look from creasing.

                                

2. Use a brown eye-liner pencil and apply it really close to your lash line you can wing it out if you want to


                             

3. Then take a brown liquid liner and layer it on top.

                              

4. Using an angled brush apply a chocolate brown eye-shadow on top and smudge it


5. Then apply  a black or brown eye liner on your lower lash line.


6. Apply your favourite mascara.

7. Apply pink lipstick and lip gloss

8. And apply your favourite bronzer and light pink blush.



9. Apply your other make up as usual. 


Products i used:


* Euro colour eye liner pencil
* Water proof brown eye-liner from daiso
* Collection 2000 eye liner 
* Avon Super enchant mascara  ( Review here)

* Nyx round lipstick in Paris


I know this look uses 3 browns, i feel as though using browns gives a softer appearance than black. I wear this look everyday and i absolutely love it. 

So what do you guys think of this weeks tutorial? Would you wear this look to Uni or work? Let me know in the comments below.. If you liked this post why not share it the links are below...
