Review Comparison: DUO Surgical Adhesive vs DUO Eyelash Adhesive Waterproof

Did you know there are two types of DUO glue available? One thing that I dislike about DUO glue is that the opening is big - so it's very easy to squeeze out too much glue, which then gets messy especially if you squeezed excess glue past the lash bandHere's a picture to demonstrateOpening for DUO Surgical Adhesive (left) vs opening for DUO Eyelash Adhesive (right) But notice how much smaller the

Review: Favourite lashes of all time Ardell 107

I've tried quite a number of lashes from MAC, Ardell, Elise and Mod lashes in the past year that I have been whole-heartedly addicted to them.Ardell, Elise & Mod really measure up in quality - they're not as good as MAC quality (you can feel it in the hair, the band, the movement of the lash if that makes sense) but it comes close for the price considering MAC lashes are three times the price of

That piece of....I mean, updated review of Eyecurl II

Remember this?! The Eyecurl II heated lash curler and how I was raving about it less than a month ago? I used it no more than 10-15 times and it has already died on meAt first I thought the battery had to be replaced since the red indicator light was soooo faint. After replacing the battery, the heat indicator turned from white to red which indicates it's heated and ready for use. Well, it wasn't

Review: Eyecurl II Heated Eyelash Curler

UPDATE: This model is such crap! It has completely died out on me within 10-15 uses.  So just beware! When it is working, it works well.....maybe I got a bad one off the assembly line but I'm hesitant to buy the same one againMy very cool cousin Sue Ann gave me my first heated eyelash curler when I visited her in Malaysia last month.The cap is missing from the package btw  Sue Ann said the

Review: DUO lash glue

For some products I really just don't understand the hype - like DUO lash glue which I purchased at MAC I bought it based on the recommendations of many makeup artists and youtube gurus.I'm down to the last 1/3 of the tube and I'll be on the hunt for another brand of lash glue.I find the consistency of the glue to sometimes be a bit too watery for my liking. I've resorted to gently shaking

FOTD with new Ardell 136 lashes + Aldo handbag

One of the things I bought in the USA this past weekend were new Ardell #136 lashes.I only bought one pair because I didn't know how they would look on me. Also, I thought maybe Toronto might start carrying this style shortly. Wrong.I confirmed with MadameMadeline, a company that sells Ardell lashes online, that the Ardell #136 are exclusive to Target stores. Yeah, what the... :)...?!!! Did you

MAC Texture, MAC Folie, MAC 36 lashes review, MAC Care Blends Essential Oils review

I picked up a few things at MAC 2-3 weeks ago. It included two new eye shadows: MAC Texture:and MAC Folie Both colours come out matte. Matte colours seem to compliment me more than shimmery eye shadows so I do love these two colours. Here is me wearing MAC Texture all over the lid and MAC Folie on the outer 1/3 of my eye lids. I'm also wearing MAC 36 lashes above. In the left hand side picture

My favourite false lashes at the moment: MAC #3

It's a bit pathetic when it takes me more than fifteen minutes and several attempts to apply false eye lashes.So I vowed to myself I would practice and get it right.I'm getting better at applying falsies and I've only worn them five times in the past two weeks so I'm glad I'm picking up the habit faster than anticipated.And my favourite pair of lashes that I've sported here and there are the MAC
