Dollywink Eyeshadow in brown 01 [review]

Heya! That is me with neko ears !!! ＼(^ω^＼) In these pictures i am trying to achieve a neko that is desperate for freedom. [giggles

and also.... Sorry about the long-time-no-posting-stuff. ;)

Now -drum hits- Here's a review of my fave brand, Dollywink's eyeshadow in brown!!

(For this review, I did not do any lighting editing so that you can get a good look of the colours)

Large image to show y'all the brochure.

Brand: Koji Dollywink

Origin: Made in Japan

Code: 01

Weight: 0.7oz/20g

Produced by: Tsubasa Masuwaka

Ingredients: water (aqua), alcohol denat., petroleum distillates, sorbitol, dimethyl ether and etc.

left: flash ; right: no flash

Packaging: This is the old packaging, if you refer to the first picture there's a brochure that shows y'all the latest packaging. The old one is in black while new one is in brown. I see no difference in the content. (◕‿◕✿) There's no mirror inside and the plastic is ordinary. It even comes with a cute little sponge applicator. (•‿•) Also, it's palm size so it's convenient for you to carry around.

Design: The colour design is very natural. It's suitable for any occasion ! (ﾟヮﾟ)

Quality: (〃^∇^)ﾉ here is the handy applicator. A small tip and a bigger tip. 

Left: flash ; right: no flash

Here are the swatches ~ (●´ω｀●) There would be different result when you use different applicators. If you used sponge applicators the colours turn out to be more pigmented comparing brush applicator.

It seems to be semi-matte. If you're in indoor it seem to be matte, but when there's stronger lights that shines on the eyeshadow then you'll see shimmers. (─‿‿─)

left: no flash ; right: flash

Here is how it looks like on my eyelids. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ Do you see the matte and shimmer side of this eyeshadow ? 

My eyelids can be pretty oily sometimes. I tried once using only the eyeshadow on my eyelids without applying anything as base, and it smudge by the end of the day. However, if you use liquid foundation or concealer on your eyelid before applying the eyeshadow then it can last for a long long time. I wore it during my presentation a few days ago and it lasts on my eyelids for 9 hours. (ღ˘◡˘ღ) 

Water test

So it stays even if you splash water on it. If you accidentally get caught in the rain, just dab the water away and it wont smudge. DO NOT RUB.

Another example is ... when i watched a movie with my family and I cried o(╥﹏╥)o after that it still stayed. 

eye and lip make up remover test

Now it's removing itself when I dropped some eye make up remover on them. Which means it's safe. (●*∩_∩*●) 

I found some eyeshadows that won't remove itself even if you dropped remover on them ... （ﾟДﾟ）Those eyeshadows might damage your precious eyelids if you use them too much. Thank goodness Koji's products isn't really hard to remove.

Price:  Quite expensive if you asked me cause you can simply get a 30 coloured eyeshadow palette with this price. (-’๏_๏’-) Anyhow, it's safe and easy to remove. So ~ i guess it's alright~ 

Here's a "tutorial" i kinda copied from Dollywink's brochure. Here's an image telling you girls how to put the eyeshadow on. ❤

Lastly, my dollywink and me ! Oh i love you so much ~ ❤ That's it ! Hope my review helps!

A long day (~=3=)~

So yesterday I was at college the WHOLE day ... (at least i were there since 12pm .... until 10:30pm) ... Gosh, it was so exhausting ! My mum have annual dinner with her colleagues so i went to walk around the mall beside my college with my sister ~ We brought lots of junk too xPP

Junk#1

See that cat wire thingy i pointed at ? That was brought from Daiso and it's pretty much useless ... (=_=") So i brought a new one yesterday ~ !
Dorayaki ~~ ♪＼(*＾▽＾*)／＼(*＾▽＾*)／

See how useful this one is ?! It can roll up the wire without letting it loose. That black cat was just a waste of money ! ⋋_⋌ AND it reminds me of my fave cat ~ DORAEMON ! ❤

Junk#2

(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ So this is a stick concealer from Rimmel ~ I brought it from Watson cause it was on discount~ I wanted a stick concealer since N years ago ~ and since this one is on promo, i just grab it! (◕‿◕✿)

P/s: they really need to work on their packaging design ... (=_=")

Junk#3

Sleeping mask !!! (▰˘◡˘▰) I had one ~ It was broken cause ... i kinda iron it ... and it burns .... ( '-' ) So i brought a new one !!!! So that i can sleep when i travels ~ (I love travelling !)

LOL ~ I know i know, i brought lots of junks ~ But hey ! Add up all of these items it's not expensive ~ So i am really happy i brought them ! ＼(^ω^＼)

CNY hair style ;)

I actually have the courage to cut this fringe !!! T^T Finally! I feel so successful ! Anyway, i dyed my hair too . =) I didnt have the money to go to a salon so i dyed it with Schwarzkopf champage pink, that i mentioned in my previous post. I like that brand a lot ! The last one i used is Revlon, and believe me ... your hair turned coarse after one usage D=

This brand (the one i am using now) doesn't coarse your hair that much and you can actually see the colour ~ (even though i see no pink, yet)

There's another good news ! I am on February 2013 issue of Mina's magazine !

(up:Cover of the magazine)

This is my "article" !!! =D

A small column for me ! I suggested their readers to wear ribbons during Valentine's day so they'll look cuter !!! xD (me on the left hand side of the picture) That picture was taken right after i came back from Comic Fiesta, and PHEW ! that was an exhausting day. =P

I am shooooo happy today ! I can't believe I was actually on a magazine ! xDD hahaha !!!

(Red carpet! So CNY feel ! xD)

Anyway, i went to KL last weekend for the CNY decos. It's so pretty there ! I got myself a pair of sneakers  too ! I have to apologize to my feet for wearing overly cheap and low quality shoes ... =_=" My toe nail got broken from wearing a pair of fake crocs.... -sigh-

Anyhow, i am in a CNY mood now !!! One more week till CNY !!! heheheh ~ I can get to see my cousins !!! (after i finished my assignments... that is).

Another random weekend

So ~~ Chinese New Year is almost here and I have to re-dye my hair ... 

I remember the last time i dyed my hair was last year's CNY ..... ~(=w=~) Such a long long time ago ~~ So this time, after reading tons of magazines and blog posts i've decided to dye a pink-related colour ! It looks sweet ~~ =D After a long decision making, i brought this:

I seriously do not know whether this brand is good or not~~ But the sale girl said there's free gifts and it's on promotion and i just go and buy it ... =P LOL

Will dye my hair before i go back to hometown. xD I wanna do something crazy this time xD Bwhahahahah~

I have to take a close up of this mirror ! =D It's soooooo adorable !!!! Even the sales girl want it ! xD Hahaha ! I wonder how people pronounce this brand's name .... it's Schwarzkopf ?? O_o a weird name ~~

Got these make up workshop vouchers from the Food Festival in Mid Valley ~ I wonder how make up is related with food ... =_=" They just give you one voucher after you register for the lucky draw... =P

(the one with choco chips ~ I call it ... CHOCO BUTTER SUPREME *O* LOL)

Lately, i made a lot of stuff to eat ~~ Cookies, muffins and etc ~ Maybe it's because CNY is near and i feel like making stuff to eat ~~ It's kinda like baking things = CNY is here ~~ xDD LOL

Well, my random weekend ;) Hahaha ! xD

Dollywink False Lash No.4 (Feminine Style) [Review]

Story of this box of lashes

{Please scroll down for the review}

I got my first attempt to try Dollywink's upper lashes when i went to their Tea Party last December. It's the same day as Comic Fiesta ! So i went to their tea party after i finished browsing through booths in the event.

Free refreshment from Gino Cafe.

When I notice there's so many new products of Dollywink on the table, i almost faint~~ I was soooooo happy !!!!! It's like my dream to try their upper false lash ! =D

Saw Comic Fiesta's ticket on my wrist ? Hehehehe ~ I go and open the eyeshadows since i realize they allow us to try them out. There's new packaging and colours. Smoke brown, pink brown and (same old) brown.

The one that is standing in front is the one who taught us how to make up, the girl that is sitting there is her model.

I used the fastest speed to try on  No.2 (Sweet girly) [my fave design] when they say: "Time for false lashes !".

It's like the happiest moment of my life !!! I can't afford them, but now i can try them on ! (happying)

Too bad i have to leave earlier... LRT will be full of people if i dont go by that time ... T^T If only i can stay for the Q and A session .... T^T (cries hard).

Anyhow, they gave me a goodie bag and there's a box of Dollywink's No.4 laying inside ! (*O*) Seriously... that is the best present ever .... I love you Koji !!!!!

After finishing the story. Now it's time for the review ! ;)

(New packaging)

Brand: Koji Dollywink
Origin: Made from Japan

Code: No.4 (Feminine Style)

Quantity: 2 Pairs
Produced by: Tsubasa Masuwaka

(Large image,so you can read what is written in this picture)

Packaging: Daisies make the packaging looked so much more mature and feminine compared to the last one. Less gyaru and look more casual.  Oh yeah, there's a lot of fake Dollywink on the internet, so please be careful. Genuine Dollywink have a sticker on the front of the package and a secure thingy near the top of the packaging, so it will be a little hard to open .

After you open it, there's a small plastic box that contain the lash. It's actually travel-friendly. You dont need to buy a lash box to put your lashes in. Just take this box and you're ready to go. =D

Small glue comes in handy when you can't find your lash glue, plus, there's no need to purposely go and buy another lash glue when there's already one inside the box. xD 

(note: this glue is not waterproof)

There's one instruction manual inside the package to teach people how to wear falsie in Japanese ..... (=_=") I dont know how to read them ...... =P

(Upper lash: No.4 Feminine Style ; Lower lash: No.5 Real Nude)
(Up: no contact lens ; Down: with contact lens)
Quality: Excellent ! This lash is extra soft ! So soft that it's very easy to be bend into your eye shape.
This baby looks good even if you are not wear any contact lens ! So no worries for people that does not wear lens. ;)
Besides, it blend really well with my natural lashes.

(Right: before cleaning ; Left: After cleaning)
Since it's very soft, that makes it feels fragile.... but it only feels fragile, it's actually not. After every usage, you just need to clean the glue off and it looks as good as new !
These pair of lashes have no weight~~ So your eyelids won't feel tired and heavy when wearing them.

Design: The design makes you look good in any occasion ! It's so natural ! Because it's longer at the end, so it'll make your eyes look longer and wider.

Price: One word, expensive !
Anyhow, after using it, i felt the price is kinda worth it ... (=///=) You can reuse it a lot of times as long as you're being careful during the cleaning part~~ 

(Camwhore with my box of lashes xD)
So i guess that's it ! Hope my review helps ! ;) Tata ! ~(=w=~)

17/12/12

This is going to be a pictureless post. It's all about my current life.
Well, yesterday i went to work during an event and it's my first time helping others to make up on behalf of a brand. I felt nervous really nervous @@ but i live through it ~~
So there's still a few days before the year's biggest event for all the otakus in Malaysia, Comic Fiesta!!! I am really excited cause this is going to be my first time ever attending this event! =D
I seriously have nothing ready at all ! I expect to go as myself, not going to cosplay anything since no one will see me even if i am in a costume and it's more time consuming if you wore a costume, cause people would wanna take picture of/with you and it makes it real hard to walk from that end to this end. This is my first time and it have 4 halls, so i am not going to let myself ruin it by cosplaying xD I just go there and take pictures of my new cos-mates and other beautiful cosplayers ! =D Now i know you can go and ask people to give you coscards =D OMG ! I am so going to collect at least 10 coscards this time !
Anyhow, I am now working in an office ~ So i found myself a job so that i can spend time earning money rather than spending them. If i stay at my house i would think of trillion ways to get out of my house and shop/eat/etc (all of them involve money D:) So i rather work. Now I have work in weekdays, and i've got 2 parties to attend this week ! One is tonight (just a casual BBQ party), and another one hosted by my college mates (it's a Xmas themed BBQ party) [another bbq.... =_="]. Oh well ! Hope my pimples wont grow out because of these two parties. I dont even know if i can make it for these parties ! I mean i have to go to work early and go back late. According to my own time management i sleep real early, so i bet tonight is going to be real exhausted... but i dont wanna miss out this party since i already miss out my friend's PD 2d1n trip ... -sigh- For work and also for saving money .... sacrifices must be made ! Dx I am quite impressed. I mean my friends never successed in hosting a trip to anywhere before ! Never ! Until i went to Legoland with my college mates... then they planned one .... hmm.... copycats
So now i am on my blog typing about my life in the office ~~ My boss was like: "why do you finish your works so early? Now what are you going to do?" I was like:"I thought there's a lot more to do....? O.o" lol...
Anyhow ~~ I still haven't plan which day of CF i wanna go ~~ cause day 1 means i have to wake up early in a Saturday means wake up early 6 days in a row.... if i go during Sunday, next week have work too ... So i rather go Saturday =P LOL !!!! Hope i can see my fave cosplayers there !!!!! heheheh =//////=
Omg, that is was a wordy post. O.o So now i have to think whatelse to do before i go back home/ go to the party ~~ I think tonight i am going to sleep like a log .... =_= exhausted .....

Xmas Photoshoot

I've been planning for this photoshoot since October ! Finally we get to do this photoshoot !!! =D

This is the outcome.
CN:
Meiko: Wendy Nyx
Luka: Grace Aiko (me)
Miku: Mi Qian
Rin: Reia Min

There's only one picture for now cause we just took the shoot yesterday and i can't wait for the photos so i have to force the photog to upload at least one picture. xD This is my first ever group photoshoot ! I was very nervous ~~ So i kinda accidentally put too much bronzer on my nose .... Yikes ! But thankfully it wasn't very obvious !
I get to meet so many new people ! Wendy is very fun to talk to, nice and friendly !!! Mi Qian was too tired so she didn't talk much. Reia was the cutest little angel I've met ! Her voice is sooo adorable !!!
This time we have a total of 3 Photographers.
Huh? Cosplay Photography
Moon Art Studio

Akahitoken Photography
I've did a collab with Huh? before, so i have full confidence in her ! xD
This is the first time I've met Moon Art, he is pretty professional for a person with a small camera!
Akahitoken was new, so it's pretty obvious he was very nervous throughout the shoot. But it's obvious if he took more practices and get himself a flash gun he could be better ! xD LOL ~
I have lots of fun yesterday ! All of them are very very nice to me, so i give all of them one chocolate. =D
