The Mascara Madness!

Sometime ago, I was looking for a new mascara. Chucked the bit of leftover Majolica Majorca I had not only because it was finishing, also because I was sick of it and in agony whenever comes the time for me to remove at the end of a long day! Especially so these days cos I use it often..
It was indeed waterproof so much so I always had a hard time removing it. I feel sad for my poor eyes and eye lids in the midst of removing!
So boomz! Into the bin it went!

Adr recommended me either Loreal or Revlon which I can't remember... It has 2 sides, one side blue, the other white. One side said to have fibre if I remember correctly..
Where Mascara is concerned, I only need one off the rack at Watsons and not any from cosmetics counter! Of course, I wouldn't say no to any from cosmetics brand if after I try, it is what I am looking for and price is reasonable. = )

So 2 weeks ago, while shopping at Bugis Junction, I dropped by Watsons to check those Mascaras out!
The one Adr recommended, the one I had in mind and also those available in the market which I might not know. = )


This is what I had in mind, The Maybelline's Magnum. Actually, before I even checked things out at Watsons, I was already contemplating whether to just get this. But, I wanted to give myself more choices with the many brands out there. The reason why MAGNUM because it attracts! I wanted to buy this purely because of the Colors Combi... Bright mustard kinda yellow with purple wordings. Purple is my fav color lately! Not telling you why... haha!! My new favourite color these days is MUSTARD!  Okay, not to digress... Back to Mascara! It's called Magnum which sounds really delectable like Yummy! It also seems to be telling you that after applying, it gives your eyes a VA VA VOOM effect!


Because of the colors which attracts, I was also toying with the idea that if I get Magnum, whenever I want to reach for Mascara, it will be so easy to get in the cosmetic pouch cos of the colors! You don't even need to find! See what I mean? Just reach for the Yellow!


However, when I was at Bugis that day, I came home with this instead. I spotted this at the Japanese section. I was looking at nude lipsticks when I saw a lil tv playing this commercial. I liked the fact it came with a mascara remover and it seemed easy to remove! I had doubts however... Is it because the mascara is too strong that we must use it's remover? What if it's remover finishes before the mascara? Heck! I decided to grab it anyway! Don't try, You never know. It came in a set with mascara and mascara remover at $21.90.


The back of it.. seemed like it's the Heroine's 5th Anniversary, that's why it came in a set! Yup, the mascara brand I got is call, Heroine! Haahaha!!


My worries were unfounded! The remover worked wonders! Just apply the remover on your lashes like applying mascara, leave on for couple minutes. Using a cotton pad, gently place on your eye and wipe off! The mascara is all gone in just one wipe! I even tested to see if there were residue on my eyes using milk make up remover, the cotton pad was as white as milk.
The mascara as the name suggests "Long & Curl" really delivers!  擦了过后, 睫毛果然“长又翘”


Yesterday I was browsing in Watsons while waiting for Clara, I caught this! Magnum with eyebrow grooming kit! My! How cool is that? Sometimes, it pays to hold and look around huh? Although I got my mascara already! At $18.90, there you have the Magnum water proof in black, a lil tweezer and scissors to trim your eyebrows! I was sold to the marketing gimmick and bought one home!


It says 9X volume! I am gonna try!


Unwrapped! So now I have 2 mascaras.. Heroine Long & Curl and Maybelline's Magnum.. I am gonna use them together. After Long & Curl, I will pile Magnum on to give that extra thickeness or volume you call it. See! The color combi is really nice, don't you think? So attention grabbing! Haha!!!
