LAMEILA: The Best Ever Eyelash Curler!

Lameila Eyelash Curler

Well, you are probably surprised by this. At least in my opinion, as one of the Chinese, Asian girl would recommends this product as the most worth, quality and affordable eyelash curler that I ever tried before. Can you see on the price tag? It's only RM4.50 at Mr. DIY store. Lameila has many different design of eyelash curlers. But what really attracted me to buy this is the unique design. If you following the Asian trend, you already know that there is a famous high-end brand eyelash curler in the market as shown as below:

KOJI Eyelash Curler

This is an expensive ones that you can find it at Sasa shop and I will never spend such as amount money in it. I can't remember how much it is but for sure, this is more expensive than Shu Uemura's eyelash curler, which majority people are raving. Notice that the unique design of this curler? Yeah, it has a less curve than ordinary curler and the angle is different too. 

The one I recommended is similar to the design, but not 100%. See pictures below for comparison:

The left one is from Victoria's Secret and the right one is from Lameila. Do you notice the different? Yes, it's the curves. Typical chinese or japanese has less contour of the eyes. We are more flat, compare with Indian, Malay and even Westerners. 

Again, the left one is from VS and the right one is from Lameila. The angles are different. The mechanism makes those lashes curls up effortless! 

If you would compare this with famous Shu Uemura, well I can say that the Lameila's one is better! I had tried the Shu Uemura's and found nothing better than others. 

The Shu Uemura's eyelash curler has a more classical design. Having say that, it does not provide curling effect as good as the KOJI's and Lameila's. 

Hope this information is useful for you guys who struggling in eyelash curlers!  

My Scheming Black Mask (Blackheads Removal Activated Carbon Mask Set)

My Scheming Black Mask
(Blackheads Removal Activated Carbon Mask Set)

This set of mask comes with 3 bottles of products. Normally, you will find that blackheads removal come with the peeling mask only. This set has a pre and post peeling solutions!

STEP 1

The first bottle from the left is the sebum softener. It suppose soften the harden blackheads which embedded deep inside the pores. Due to I'm unable to read chinese words, I referred to many Youtubers on how to make these works. I apply and massage in this solution into the skin surface and let it dries for about 10 minutes. 

STEP 2

Then, I rinse off the first solution with tap water. After rinsing, I keep my skin surface damped so that the peeling mask could bond with the pores better (I don't really know how it works but I seen few Youtubers did that too). For the first time I used this product, the result wasn't that good because I used my fingers to grab the product on the tube then applied it to my face. Unflourished result  obtained may due to lack of thickness while applying with fingers. 

So, the second time I squeeze the tube and directly applied it on the skin surface. The result is much more better because by using this way, you can really get the thickness out of this mask. I also did not follow the direction at stated on the instruction (20 minutes). Instead, I let it completely dries up without bothering to time it. This is because of I live in such a humid and hot area (Malaysia, at average 32ºC). Obviously, it needs longer time to achieve complete dryness. I will say that averagely it took about 40 minutes. 

The picture below was the result from the peeling mask I wore. As you can see, less blackheads were removed, most were my tiny facial hairs.. After masking, I tried to extract blackheads manually and there were still a lot~ I thought that this mask wasn't working as amazing as the others tried.

However, I was wrong. I took an initiative and try this on one of my male friends. He is those people who don't extract his own blackheads/whiteheads. He has visible big pores all over the face especially at T-zone and the infraorbital regions. The result was tremendous (as shown in pictures below). After masking, I also tried to extract blackheads manually for him and yet there were still a lot more to be removed. 

STEP 3

After peeling off the black mask, I rinse off my face with tap water to remove some of the sediments. Then, apply the Pore Minimiser solution. I did use cotton pad to do so, just like how I would do when applying the toner.  

So, the conclusion, this product is the best I ever tried. The products I tried before and compare with are as below:

Egg White with Cotton Pads Technique

KOSE Clear Whitening Mask

SHILLS Black Mask (Purifying Peel-Off Mask)

Daiso Black Mask

But it does not fully clear up our pores. All I can say is that people who regularly clear up their pores by manual extraction will not achieve flourishing result as shown as pictures above. Those people who really can take advantages from this product are those lazy and seldom extract blackheads manually. 

I bought this product from Ebay.com & here is the link:

e.l.f. Beauty Journal Smoky Look Palette De Beaute

E.L.F. Beauty Journal Smoky Look Palette De Beaute

Seeing these eyeshadow up close, it's gorgeous~ the colours look basic, however it have unique sparkles in it. The sparkles are multidimensional, colourful (not as boring as silver or gold).

Left: without primer                   Right: with primer

These swatches are using ELF Eyelid Primer as included. The colours are not performed best on the primer itself.. Most shadows are chalky, quite a lot of falls out except the deep purple and black. These 2 shades are a bit stiff on the pans but can work well on the eyelids.

This is the first time I try eyelid primer form E.L.F. I don't know this suppose in Essential or Studio line. The texture is kind of moisturising and thin. I aware of many people like this primer but I still testing it out. But what I can tell after first use is it isn't the best I've tried.

  

I wasn't satisfied with the colour pay off using E.L.F. Eyelid Primer. So, I tried to do swatches on this eyeshadow primer from Milani. The result was much more better and vibrant! These eyeshadows are not the best, but also not as bad. I really adore these colours!

SUNSCREEN ALERT! Fruit of the Earth Block Up! Full Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection Suncare

Fruit of the Earth
Block Up! Full Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection Suncare
Sport SPF 50 with Aloe Vera

This sunscreen claims to be water/sweat resistant. It has anti-oxidant with vitamins ACE. No matter how good it claims, there is no point of using it if the ingredient causes hypersensitivity to me. I have never ever got issue with any brand, except this product. 

I wore this in the morning and the reaction became prominent in the evening. I was not even sweating on that day. I applied this product on my face and arms. Luckily, my face has no major issue... (I wonder why). However, my both arms felt itchy with tiny little bumps appeared all over. Some bumps were with pustules. 

The conditions worsen on second day and continue being itchy for the about 4 days! My arms completely healed after a week.

I bought this product at local drugstore and it wasn't cheap! (RM34+) 

Just for your references, I include the active ingredient facts: 

Avobenzone 2.0% (I suspect this causes the reaction)

Homosalate 9.0%

Octinoxate 7.5%

Octisalate 5.0%

Octocrylene 1.5%

Oxybenzone 5.0%

Unfortunately, these products are not available at Forever 21 stores in Malaysia. I purchased these online: www.forever21.com

Overall, the pigmentation is good.. except the lavender shade. It would be wonderful if the white shade is as pigmented as the black shade... These lip colours do not feel greasy on the lips. In fact, quite moisturising~ They don't stain the lips too. Even with my chapped lips, they don't re-enforce the dryness...

The down side is, I paid much more expensive than the original price in order to ship it to Malaysia. I'm using the myus.com services.. I'm not happy with the service anymore because the charges are very expensive~ I paid extra US$30+ to ship 2 boxes of these miniature to Malaysia. Not worth it!!
