Taiwan 100% Handmade Lashes

Although i seldom use fake lashes,
but i simply love these taiwanese hand made lashes~!
they are soooo easy to work with and the result is very natural :D
I've tried a few types before, but the one i really love was the one with transparent root stripe , No.7, it gave the most natural effect~
I used for like 4 or 5 times before it got really out of shape that i had to throw them away..I bought from cheeyt from lowyat.net for Rm5 (i think), very very worth it!(photo courtesy of cheeyt)

As for Princess Lee ,

It's very very soft too, but might be because of my lack of experience i had cut it a little too short, :( so din get to really try this, Princess Lee lashes will be the most expensive ones because they are highly demanded.

Recently, i bought a whole box of handmade lashes for only Rm20!




It was very easy to work with too but the result was not very natural though,
maybe it was a little too long, a little trim should do the trick.

Anyone had tried ardell fake lashes before?
heard that ardell lashes was highly recommended by Niu Er in Ladies First Show, and i've seen them being introduced in Channel V before too~ they said that ardell lashes are very very durable and natural too! they can use it for like 10 times and it's still in shape.
Anyone mind to share your experiences in ardell lashes?
Thanks~!

I was so excited when the Heatherette Collection was launched in US. I was so attracted by the packaging! Instead of the old black-looking MAC casing, this is definitely a MUST-HAVE.

Finally i only bought 2 dual-edge eyeliners. Text me, Phone me and Fab orchid, Dash Lily.
Well, actually i wanted to buy Alpha girl beauty powder, but it was not brought in Malaysia, guess it's because they were all sold out in US edy..sigh..how unfair..
but luckily i bid the alpha girl off ebay, and it was sent to a friend of mine in US. Since he will only be back end of the year, well..i'll just wait for a few more months :D



Swatch for the dual-edge pencil liners.

Colour intensity : 8/10
Lasting Power : 4/10
Packaging : 7/10
Price : RM70 each
Overall ratings : 5/10

The pencils are very soft and very easy to apply.
and this would be easy to use if you wanted to draw smokey eyes.
*Beware!! The eyeliners smudge VERY easily. and it's non-waterproof too. When i first applied, it smudged straight away on my lower eyelid.*
However, *Chris* told me to apply liquid glitter liner on top of the liner and it really does work.
I use MAC glitter eyeliner in spunsilver.
Less smudge and lasted me whole day.

and i would like to change the overall ratings to 7/10 !

My favourites are the Phone Me ( Dark black charcoal colour) and Dash Lily ( Light purple glitters)

and oh..i tried the lollipop loving lipstick too..
the colour is just so gorgeous!
but too bad i seldom use lipstick, so i'll just give this a miss.
