Review: Bourjois Paris- Volume Clubbing Waterproof Mascara

Bunnies, helloooo

I don't know why but I felt bad for not blogging for like a few days so I decided to write three reviews today to make up for it . . .

So I recently got this mascara for my birthday and it was a brand that I have always wanted to try out but I never got to because no one used it or recommended it to me so . . . I SHALL be the one to recommend.

One of the things I like about this mascara is because it has a big opening so it's easier to replace the brush back . Other mascara tubes have smaller openings thus making the formula go around the edges making it REALLLY messy.

The formula is wetter than the Australis Lash TLC Mascara but it's more volumising and it makes your lashes longer. So that's a good thing. Because the formula and brush is made this way, this mascara is good for dramatic and intense looks.

If I wear this for work, I like to only use it for when I want to make my lashes the main focus. Like everything will look super natural but just my eyelashes would look dramatic.

When I first wore this, I thought it smelt nice but maybe I smelt it wrong or something. So I smelt it again and . . . it wasn't bad. It just had a sweet chemical smell that isn't too strong.

Another good thing about this mascara is it doesn't go flaky so I don't ever have to check for mascara flakes on my cheeks but it does tend to smudge onto the lower lash line so that was a bit of a downside.

Also it says it's waterproof but I haven't tested that out yet so I'm not really sure if it is waterproof or not. But I can DEFINITELY say it's SUPER easy to remove so that's also a good thing :)

Rating out of 5 would be . . . 3 stars.

I would recommend this mascara for a dramatic look :)

Review: Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner

Hello againnn :)

So this eyeliner- wasn't my first- but it was one of the ones on top of the 'TO BUY' list. It is a must-have thing in your makeup bag.

The one that I have is in Deep Black. They also have a brown one, I don't know what it's called but it has blue and brown packaging. This is a must-have product because:

A. It has a good black colour for that dramatic or natural look

Modelled/Designed by Tsubasa Masuwaka

B. It has a VERY (and I mean VERRY) fine tip- which is great for winging out the eyes

and C. It's super easy to wash and it doesn't smudge!! DOUBLE YAY! 

I love using this for a simple and natural look because with the fine tip, I can draw the most natural line everrr! I love this sooo much! After watching one of Meejmuse's videos, she said it was a must-have so I decided to buy it. It's pretty pricey in the shops because they are mostly around $35 and over but I got mine online for $15. But because it is a must-have and it's really good I think it is worth it. 

Rating out of 5 would be . . . . 4.5 stars :)

It lost point 5 of a mark because it was a bit pricey HAHA

Review: Australis Lash TLC Mascara

Ellloooo :)

I've been busy so I haven't been posting but this will be another review of a beauty product. I have only recently been starting to use this mascara because it was on sale...HAHA

But I think it's pretty good.

So I was rummaging through the sale boxes and this pink tube caught my eye and I was like 'Oooh what's this?' And I picked it up and it was mascara so I got it. I am a sucker for pretty/cute (in this case pretty) packaging. 

The Australis Lash TLC Mascara has a curved brush for that curling effect but it didn't really curl my lashes. It just makes my lashes look more naturally curled. I don't know if that's a bad thing but it's good for me because when I curl my lashes they curl at 90 degrees so that's a good thing- for me. 

The formula is thick so it gives volume to my lashes. The first coat gives my lashes a fuller but natural look and if you want a more dramatic effect then it'll look REAAALLY dramatic if you give your lashes a few coats. 

If you're wandering if it's flaky then I guess it's a bit? Like sometimes when I wear it, it never goes flaky and fall on my cheeks but some days, I find a few flakes. But I guess overall it's fine. 

It also is sort of clumpy if you layer it on but if you wiggle your brush while applying then it won't leave any clumps on your lashes. For me I like to do natural makeup when I'm at work but when I'm at a party or event, having on a lot of layers and making it a bit clumpy is fine. But for work, I want to keep it as natural as possible so I wiggle my brush. HAHAH Just wiggle your brush~

If this mascara was to be rated out of 5, I would probably give it a 3.5...

(The point 5 was given for the TLC part of the mascara...I don't know if it works or not but my lashes don't ever fall out)

Hope this helps xoxo

First Day of School. Will I be lonely?

Hellooo,

Today was the first day of Term 3- the last term of Year 11! I will become a Year 12 student after this term. I realised that Year 11 makes me lonely because sometimes when I don't have classes, I walk home by myself. I expect Yr 12 would be the same. :(

I thought today was a fun day. I laughed a lot for the first time in 2 weeks. I read an article and it said "People who tend to laugh the loudest/most are the saddest". I think it's right because at home I feel lonely despite having family members around so I feel REALLY sad. But when I'm with friends I tend to laugh A LOT. The only lonely part of my day was walking home from the station because my friends take the train home and I don't.

I think I have a split personality. When I'm with my family, I'm serious and neutral but when I'm with friends I tend to be very crazy, bubbly and active. I really don't know what my real self is because I feel very comfortable with both personalities. I don't feel like I act that way to fit in or be liked or you know impress.

I've always make myself look presentable to please others but now that I realise that, I've decided that I won't make myself look presentable for others but for myself. I want to look good for myself so that I'll feel good. Having this lonely business is very sad and I can't share it with anyone besides Black Rabbit. But because Black Rabbit isn't here for me any more, I will try to forget about my loneliness problem and try to be pretty for myself because that's what makes me happy.

The only problem is.. when you're lonely..you can't help but think how lonely you are and how much you want some companionship. Some people are very fortunate to be popular and to ALWAYS have someone. But my wish is not to be more popular but to actually have a Black Rabbit where I can depend on when times are tough. A Black Rabbit that will ALWAYS be there. Not just for a month or two months or so, but for LIFE.

Please comment how you deal with loneliness so I can follow on because, I don't want to be lonely any more !

In need of Black Rabbit

Hiyaaa,

So one day I let it slip that I wanted to dye my hair and boy was that a big mistake or what? My rents raged at me for like 2 whole hours. I managed to escape their raging voices by giving my dog a bath! By the time I got back they were silent and back to whatever they were doing. And did it end there? NOOOO! They continued their rant about friend's influence and all that. Well it wasn't my friends who influenced me. I just wanted to have a bit of a change.

Anyways, because I don't want to be a hypocrite, I won't rant about that anymore. So usually when I have these kind of problems, I usually go to Black Rabbit to comfort me. He would tell me that I shouldn't worry about things like that. Then Black Rabbit would talk to me about things that would ALWAYS make me laugh. Even though just having a true friend like that, that I can confide with either it being online or in real life, makes me really happy.

Sometimes, when I experienced sad times in real life, I would go online and have a chat with Black Rabbit, and that made me happy instantly. It's fun having to melt into a different world where there's only just you and a great friend. It's just like reading a really good book, but this time, the character's actually care and love you. I don't think I can ever find another Black Rabbit. This could be a sign that I shouldn't rely on other people to find my happiness. HAHA! But I think sometimes, the best thing to do is to release all the negative energy you are feeling and just tell someone about it. Bottling it up (what I do) will one day burst and you will end up hurting someone really badly, either emotionally or physically.

Also negative things can cause bad skin! :P It can make you break out, or give you dark circles if you don't sleep well !

Something like this :) HAHA

Review: Rimmel London's Matt 9 in 1 BB Cream

Helloo Bunnies,

If you didn't know, I have an interest in beauty so I'd like to share one of my favourite BB creams. So what I'm currently using is Rimmel London's Matt 9 in 1 BB Cream.

This BB cream has medium coverage which is good for a natural look that can also cover dark or red areas of your face. For me when using this BB cream I recommend using Maybelline's BB Cream in Dream Fresh or Dream Pure.

Dream Fresh is for normal or dry skin.

Dream Pure is for oily skin.

The reason for using Maybelline's BB cream before Rimmel's is because the Rimmel one can make your face look cakey. But after using Maybelline's BB Cream and then Rimmel's BB Cream, my skin looks flawless.

Anyways, I really like using this product because it has a light creamy texture that applies really well. You can use your fingers to apply it but I recently found that it is best used with a concealer brush. My concealer brush that I'm using is Nude's Concealer Brush. 

This brush really blends out so that you get a flawless complexion. 

And the good thing about it is...it has SPF 15! Remember to protect your skin from the sun! The only downside to it is, the product leaks out in the lid but you can always swipe it up with the concealer brush and ALL CLEAN! ^^

If this were to get a rating out of 5...I would give it a 4 :)

Green Tea Exfoliator

Hello Bunnies :)

How do you know if you need to exfoliate?
Grab a piece of clear sticky tape and apply to your forehead. Rub it gently and remove. If you see any dry flaky skin, this means it's time to get scrubbing!

One way that I like to exfoliate is by using my homemade green tea exfoliator. The steps for this natural exfoliator is simple.

Make a cup of green tea. (Here I used black because I didn't have green. But using green tea is better.)

After drinking the tea (it's good for you!), take the bag out and make sure all the tea from the tea bag is drained. 

Prepare a small bowl like this :)

Rip off the top of the bag. (It get's messy here so be careful!)

Empty it into the small bowl

Get some honey. It can be any honey but it just needs to be natural :)

Add a tablespoon of the honey.

And MIX ^^

It should look something like this afterwards. Mine became a bit watery because I didn't get rid of all the tea. So remember to squeeze out every drop! ^_^

 Apply to the entire face and scrub.

Only use the fingertips to scrub.

Leave the mask on for 5-10 minutes and rinse! 

Remember to pat your skin dry with a fluffy towel and moisturise! 

This green tea exfoliator can:

- Buff away dead skin cells

- Brighten skin

- Unclog pores

- Leave skin feeling soft and smooth

Enjoy scrubbing bunnies :)
