Kracie

Aloha! (✿◠‿◠) I went to my first blogger event and it was a fantastic experience! It was held in Fullhouse and the environment makes me feel so relaxed. What a nice place to hang out with friends (▰˘◡˘▰) 
Now, allow me to proceed to the event! 
Kracie was originally named Kanebo, they separated Toiletries, Pharmaceuticals and Foods Divisions from Kanebo in year 2007. It is originated from Japan. (• ε •)
(This name makes me feel so de ja vu since some of my friends called me Gracie LOL)
Their shampoo and hair care range have such a cute flowery packaging. (─‿‿─) This is their moist hair care suitable for dry and medium hair and they smell like flowery fruits.
Furthermore, their hair care range contain moisture ingredients like red rice extract, rice (germ) oil, camellia extract and etc. All these combination of flowers and rice will lock moisture into the hair.

I felt in love with their light refreshing scent! \(^ω^\)  That smell makes me feel like I am sitting in the middle a garden filled with blossomed flowers! ♥‿♥
Oh, that cute glass bottle above contains their treatment oil that can be applied directly on the hair. (I like things that look adorable. Ekk! ヾ(●⌒∇⌒●)ノ 
Their hairstylist done several demonstrations on model's hair with their products and believe me, the differences are huge. Unfortunately I did not manage to take a picture of her because I was too shy to do so... o(╥﹏╥)o 

This guy helped us to demonstrate how to use their masks because all the girls have make up on! (●´ω`●) You have no idea how hard I laughed. That is their best selling charcoal mask.

Their skin care range have daily masks, daily eye masks and etc. I know Korea have these sort of masks but never knew Japan have them too.
They have 40 pieces of paper masks in a zip bag. 
Their eye masks are in resealable packages (kind of reminds me of wet tissues LOL) and it's in polkadots! So adorable (゚ヮ゚)  
Meanwhile, we get to eat these wonderful looking food throughout the presentation.

I guess that is it for this post! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to attend a beauty blogger event. (∪ ◡ ∪)

✿ Cettua ❀

Cettua is the combination of two French words "Cest" (this) + "toi" (You). They specialized in manufacturing patch and mask products. ヽ(’ ▽’ )ノ All of their produts are made in Korea.
These are their mask sheets. The material are made out of 100% cotton, they contain no paraben, no fragrance and no pigment.
Their adorable nose strips can be found from pharmacies.
Now these are very special ones! (っ⌒‿⌒)っ For a person who love to travel, these leg relaxing patches can help to comfort your tired legs while revitalizing your skin. Do you know it can also reduce swollen areas? (⊃ ´ω`)⊃♥⊂(´ω` ⊂)
The hot body design patch can turn bumpy skin on the belly, forearm and thigh area silky smooth. In addition, you have to apply the patches on your skin for a minimum of 4 hours and maximum of 8 hours.
 Eye patches are one of the most essential skin care I need since I was "gifted" with huge eye bags
( ´・___・) I personally think these are cute since you can apply them not only on the under eyes but also on the forehead, mouth and cheeks area. I had tried them myself, they are very cooling! 〜( ̄▽ ̄〜) The result is similar with panda eye patches I usually used, after effect lasts for a few hours. I can use them right before dates, proms and etc. (●´∀`●)
One side are cotton, the other side are gel. Sorry about my face, (°ℇ °) I was tired and not wearing any make up...

For now I have only tried their eye patches. I shall write a review after I tried the others.
ヽ( ˃ ヮ˂)ノ

A special thanks to the sponsors allowing me to have this opportunity to review on Cettua! I am blessed. \(^∀^)メ(^∀^)ノ 

Now here's a #bothie before ending this post.


Hope this post helps!

Recent favorites (●´∀`●)

Sorry for the lack of updates, I was really busy with life! (and lazy 〜( ̄▽ ̄〜) 〜( ̄▽ ̄)〜 (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜) But since I need to submit this post to the magazine so I might as well as update my very inactive blog...
Here goes! introducing my recent favorite cosmetics ❤
* = ALL time favorite 
From Left: Daiso's natural false lash, MM mascara , Canmake cream blush in red, Etude house liquid concealer , Etude house lipstick, Etude house liquid eyeliner in brown and black , Dollywink eyeshadow in brown, Candydoll mineral powder foundation , 3 Concept eyes foundation brush.

I just brought the Canmake cream blusher and immediately felt in love with it ! I have seen a lot of positive reviews on this blusher but never got a chance to try it... I have a pale skin and unfortunately the blushers i applied tend to disappear after 2-3 hours (QwQ) This blusher give me 4 hours flush ヽ( ˃ ヮ˂)ノ I know it's not much but better than reapplying every 2 hours *sobs*

Oh! I would wanna introduce you girls to my current must-have false lash ヽ(’ ▽’ )ノ

It's an inexpensive, natural and easy-to-use false lash! I simply love this! I could use it in whole or cut it half and blend it with my own lashes! The best part is that no one even know I wore them *sneaky laugh* #truestory It have a mixture of brown and black feathers and tied to a transparent band. The softness makes it easy to bend into your eye shape. 
( ´・‿-)~♡ 

I love using this during dates cause it won't scare him with those other exaggerated (cosplay-type) lashes I owned \(^∀^)メ(^∀^)ノ and if I never told him he won't even know it's false lash *giggles*

Anyway, I guess that's it! If you girls needed a detailed review on the products I used please do send a request via comment 
(ノ゚ο゚)ノミ★゜・。。・゜゜・

I was wearing Daiso false lash here! haha!

XOXO

Koji Love concierge No.4 [Review]

Hi, sorry for being inactive~~ but i was busy with life ~~ so yeah ... gomene!!! 
anyway, here is another review !!! 

Brand: Koji Lash Concierge
Origin: Made in Japan
Code: No.4 
Model: 平野由美

I get to try it during Dollywink's workshop, this brand focuses on natural lashes that even OL can use during work. Did you notice the percentage that is printed on the packaging ? The higher the percentage, the lash will be more natural. Meaning to say, it is harder to be discovered that you are wearing false lashes if the percentage is higher. =)

 
I choose this simply because the lashes tend to go longer at the end and i have no idea why these sort of lashes looks best on me. xD
This false lash have transparent band ~ 
This is how they looks on me. Very natural right ? 
Here is my very own lash that i have already used several time. Look good as new right ? <3 I bet everyone know about Koji's false lashes' quality after using Dollywink. Basically, their quality are the same! You can re-use the lashes for more than 10 times (if you are careful when cleaning them). 
This is how it looks like with eyes closed. :D 
As for the price, I sincerely still have no idea what is the price of this lashes in Malaysia. I guess we will have to wait ~ ^w^

I guess that's it ! Tata for now ! ;)

K.I.S.S mineral make up lip plumper [quick review]

Anyone ever heard of K.I.S.S mineral makeup? All their products are safe to use! "Designed for all skin types, especially well-received with problematic and sensitive skin."
For more information you can click here~
Now I am going to give a review on their lip plumper! 
Brand: K.I.S.S mineral make up
Origin: Made in U.S.A
Code: Lip plumper
Weight: 0.1 oz/ 0.25g
Their packaging is quite simple and casual~ They have a sponge applicator so it's hygiene compared to tubed lip glosses.
The stopper actually works! There is no liquid on the wand! ^_^
Be careful not to drop it cause it's fragile! D:
Swatch! The texture is very good! not sticky and not too oily-looking. Give your lips a healthy look!
(above: outdoor light ; below: indoor light)
The colour might look deceiving, it looks so coral-pink! but it's not very pigmented, there is only a slight pigment that gave your lips a glossy feeling.

The price is quite expensive, but for those who have serious cracked lips or sensitive with conventional lip products must consider this ! Trust me, it helps with your lips! MUST CONSIDER *echoss....*
LOL...
So i have been working on a few costumes lately... need to catch up lots with my stuff ~ Finals is near and costumes undone @_@ so many things to do!!! 
Been on to a magazine for the 3rd time ~ haha!!

I guess that's it ! Tata!

Dolly Wink Pencil Eye Color [Review]

Hiya! I am very happy to know that I was one of the winner of Cite Beauty Awards Contest held by Dolly Wink! YEAH !!! It's my fave brand!!!
 
They even gave me a notebook and a Dollywink brochure with Tsu-chan's faces on it! kawaii ne ~~
Brand: Koji Dolly Wink
Origin: Made in Japan
Code: Pencil Eye Color
Weight: 22g 
Packaging: Let's start from the cap. It is very otona. The design is better than the older version of Dollywink's caps. There are daisy flowers on it!
Notice the daisies by the side of the cap and the purple printed daisies on the pencil? Very otona~ and less gyaru.
Design: The design of this pencil is not white. It's golden beige shimmery
Here is a demo picture. I applied it on the inner corner of the eye. Do you see the obvious golden simmers on the right side of my eye? As it is not silver so it's not sharp, it makes you look warmer and sweeter~ Looks good when you smile too! 
Quality: It works just like how Dolly Wink described it on their letter. It's waterproof, smudge proof and long lasting! It is very pigmented as well! A little of it is enough to create the big eye effect! 

Price: I think it's selling for RM50++ in Sasa, for me it's quite expensive. haha! But i won it from a contest~~ so.. yeah xD
----------------------------------------------------------------
FYI, I wore it during my Dean's list ceremony! I walked on the stage using only Dolly Wink's products on my eyes~ (except for the mascara... i didnt have their mascara TwT)  
Here is how I look like during the ceremony~ 
I tried No.10 (Sweet Cat) in this picture! 

So i guess that's it!!

Dollywink cream eyeshadow in No2 [Review]

Remember when i went to Dollywink's tea party during last year's Comic Fiesta ? =D 
In their goodie bag,I've got one product that I love soooo much I used it in every single time I make up... @_@
note: this product is discontinued.
*drum hits*
Brand: Koji Dollywink
Series: Cream eyeshadow
Origin: Made from Japan
Code: No.2 (Crystal Rainbow)
Weight:  0.6 oz
Ingredients: water (aqua), alcohol, petroleum distillates, ppg-25 butyl ether phosphate, ppg-40 butylether and etc.

Packaging: cute, polkadots printed on the outside is soooo Dollywink's style. It's round shaped, palm size and light weighted, that makes it very travel friendly! I brought it to my Hong Kong trip and it does not really take up too much of my space. 
Design: I have notice a lot of other bloggers saying they don't like this because it's just a chunk of glitter. ):
I don't know, but i love glitters! Most of the things I used contain glitters ! I can't live without those sparkly stuff!!! xDD
So it took me a while to discover this but this baby have no pigmentation!
All of them are glitters.
There are a total 7 kinds of glitters inside. 
All in different shapes and colours!
THIS is it's speciality.
Look carefully, there is green, pink, purple, gold, bronze, blue and silver colour. My phone can't take a good picture of it but i swear if you get to use this baby then you can see all the colours too ! That is the reason why it is called "Crystal Rainbow". Tsu-chan designed it very well, if it's only silver then it's too sharp but this one have combination of different colours!
It looks good with any look you try to achieve! Cute, sexy, sweet, cool, natural and etc! #truestory.
 Quality: It resists water~ If you get splashed with water, just dab them away and it still stays~
It stays on my eyelids for the whole day!
It also helps my eyeshadow stay longer~ The only thing that i don't like about is how you must use fingers to apply it~ xP
(cream eyeshadow underneath Dollywink eyeshadow no.1)
Price: quite expensive for a little eyeshadow like this. But i got it from the tea party, so it's alright! xDD

Too bad this baby is discontinued. From my opinion, it's very well designed! Maybe because it got too many bad reviews... T^T Oh well, glad i have a chance to try it!
Wish i can try the gold one too :D
So that's it for now ! Bye bye! xD
