Review: Glam By Manicare Femme Fatale Kourtney lash

This post was written a few weeks back and I forgot to schedule it! I am not one that wears false lashes much. Reason being that my eyes are too dry for contact lenses and I'm stuck with wearing my glasses. I was given the opportunity to review the new Glam By Manicare Femme Fatale Kourtney lash* which was pretty exciting!! 

Only managed to take a pic with it on lol the rest were too dark or my eyes look weird. I think I have uneven eyes, they look really weird in photos.

Additional info:

• Product made in Indonesia, packaged in China
• RRP $11.95

What I like:

• Comes with a small bottle of adhesive. When I do use fake eyelashes, I like to carry some adhesive in my bag for those emergency situations. 
• Durable and one pair should last a good 4-5 usage
• Length of the lashes is good!! Looks a little weird at the start since I'm use to short little asian lashes.

What I dislike:

• Well not really a dislike but the lash strip was pretty long, I had to trim off part of it because I have small asian eyes lol 
• The glitter band was a little thick for me

Overall: These lashes are great, if only I could wear them more often! Why do I have to be so blind?? A random thought, back when I was younger, I remembered I loved wearing glasses thought it was cool.

Thanks for reading!!!

Garnier Dark Spot Event!

Wednesday night I was invited to attend a Garnier Blogger Event, I had no idea what it was about when I first received the email. I enjoy meeting fellow bloggers but I also get a little nervous since I'm not very good at initiating conversations with people I'm not familiar with and the 'omg I don't know anyone'. But turns out I was worried for no reason, everyone there was so friendly like unbelievably friendly lol

As soon as I walked in, I saw this little guy. His name is Bolt, a baby Dalmatian. Sounds kinda lame but I've never seen a real life Dalmatian before lol I was so excited, jumped in at the first chance to get a photo with him. This little guy has so much energy, kept jumping around and biting everything. He was even poking his nose up my dress lol!!

The event was to talk about the new dark spot corrector and BB cream. We each got a box to take home to try. I will be trying it soonish and write up a reviews on it. I tested out the new bb cream for combination skin and so far it appears to be pretty good, goes on matte compared to the original one where it was dewy looking.

I met The Maid Up Maiden. We follow each others blogs and twitter but never met in person, she is such a lovely girl! If you haven't checked out her blog, you should definitely do so!

We got a puppy soft toy to take home, they have personalised name tags on them! He's going to be my bloggy mascot from now on. A big thank you to the peeps at Garnier and Louisa from Brand Meets Blog for organising.

Now to help this socially awkward blogger =)

Give me some tips on how you strike up conversations with people you have never met before? 

I'm finding it harder and harder these days, I'm always stuck in my little bubble.

Review: Real Techniques Makeup Brushes - Core Collection & Blush Brush

Say Hello to my new real techniques makeup brushes! Finally getting around to writing about them, probably one of the very last bloggers to be reviewing these! I bought my brushes off iHerb after resisting it for a while because the site looked kinda dodgy but then I realised a bunch of other bloggers bought it off this site so it was pretty reliable!

I purchased the core collection $17.99 and blush brush $8.99, used the $5 coupon so shipping was practically free! Saw these babies at Priceline yesterday for $44.99 & $22.99, still don't comprehend the huge price differences in Australia.

Blush Brush is mega soft. This brush is probably the cutest brush I own, comes in metallic pink handle and has a rubber end which helps it stand on its own. The bristles are longer on the inside and shorter for the outter bristles. The brush glides across cheeks quite easily and distributes the blush evenly. Definitely an awesome brush!

The Core Collection comes with 4 brushes - Detailer Brush, Pointed Foundation Brush, Buffing Brush & Contour Brush. It also comes with this nifty case to carry the brushes in (forgot to take a photo of it).

Buffing Brush is quite round and the bristles have quite a bit of room to breathe. When compared my Sigma F80, this is not as dense. This brush leaves your skin looking flawless without the streakiness. The thickness of the handle gives you the perfect grip.

Contour Brush is dome shaped and quite small in size. This brush is would be good for smaller surfaces such as browbone and nose. I haven't used this brush yet so not much to say about it.

Pointed Foundation Brush is about half the size of a normal foundation brush. I don't think this brush is suitable for applying foundation, it will take too much time and I 'm simply not a patient person. More suitable as a concealer brush in my opinion. 

Detailed Brush is also very tiny. The feel of the brush is a little harder than the others, great for when you need precision in hard to get areas. The brush is good for putting on concealer around the eye area or getting around sides of the nose. I would prefer a larger brush as it takes less time.

Overall I'm quite happy with these brushes and for the price that they are selling for, it is value for money! A big thumbs up from me!

Have you tried Real Technique brushes? If so, which ones?

P.S This week I'm featured on the Decorating Forum!  

Thanks for reading!!!

Benefits of Santorini products:

I was lucky enough to be sent 2 products from the Santorini range to try out -Sweet Orange & Almond Sea Salt Scrub and Hydrating Body Lotion.

Santorini Sweet Orange & Almond Sea Salt Scrub* leaves your skin soft and smooth. This scrub is perfect for a pre-tan prep. Good exfoliation is important for tanning - it helps the skin absorbs better and also last longer. The salts are scented with almond and orange oils so you won't be smell like seaweed lol Overall a very lovely exfoliator.

RRP: $18.95 for 250ml

Santorini hydrating body lotion* leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. The body lotion smells really nice!! The formula is light and velvety that works to deeply nourish skin without leaving that greasy feeling. When applying, you may want to be careful when squirting it out, the bottle is a little hard. So when I did manage to squirt stuff out, too much bursted out and I applied wayyy more than I needed to.

RRP: $21.60 for 250ml

Available at http://www.santorinisun.com

Have you tried any of the Santorini products before?

P.S Anyone going to IMATS Sydney this year? I haven't found an IMATS buddy yet so if you're going, let me know and I'll tag along with you.
