Marie Beauty Eye Cream (false eyelash/monolid adhesive)

Image
Marie Beauty Eye Cream is, I am guessing, named so because it is often used as adhesive to create double eyelids for women with mono eyelids. It is basically cosmetic adhesive and probably one of the cheapest ones available. I tried looking for the company info to no avail. The product. Brush applicator. It appears translucent milky white and dries down clear. Description: It is a cosmetic adhesive that comes with a brush tip applicator. It appears white and slightly translucent but dries clear. May appear to be a different colour due to its slight translucency. I have also seen the adhesive in black which would be good for individual false eyelashes. Price: Anywhere between MYR 10 to MYR 20 depending on where you buy it. Where to buy: They’re usually available in costume jewellery, accessories shops and beauty supply stores in Malaysia. Pros: It is a strong eyelash adhesive. Unless your falsies are extremely unwieldy, they are not going anywhere with this eyelash adhesive. It dries al...

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen Review

Image
Biore is a Japanese skincare brand that is pretty widespread in Asia. And they do a wide array of sunscreens catered for different skin types and goals. Today we look at one of their most iconic; the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunscreen. This is a chemical sunscreen and contains alcohol. The outer packaging. It comes in two sizes (50 grams and 90 grams). One is easier to find (50 g) than the other (90 g). It also used to come in 105 g but that is no longer sold in drugstores locally. Not in physical stores at least. Description on the packaging is identical on both sizes. It’s a printed sticker in English because I believe the description underneath is all Japanese. Claims and descriptions. Directions, ingredients list etc. The tubes. Very understated and clean! Description on the tube. ALL in Japanese! The top tube (90 g) has a flip cap while the bottom (50 g) has a screw cap. Description: SPF 50+ PA++++ sunscreen that comes in two sizes (50 grams and 90 grams). Ingredients: WA...

Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara Review

Image
Essence happens to be one of my most favourite drugstore brand and it is my top 5 most affordable drugstore makeup brands found in Malaysia. This is the Essence Make Me Brow, eyebrow gel mascara.  A mini rant here, this product was priced at just 12.90 MYR initially and has now almost doubled! WTF! The product. It is a tiny wand. It is pretty scratchy but nothing I can’t work around. Can you see tiny fibres? That really fills up the brows! Description: It is an eyebrow mascara with tiny fibres in it that help fill in the brows. It comes in two colours 01 (blondy brows) and 02 (browny brows). I have the darker one, i.e. 02. Contains 3.8 ml product. Where to buy: Watsons. Price: MYR 22.00  Hand swatch. It is cool tone grayish brown. Kind of a perfect match for me. Bare brows. It added just the right amount of fullness to the brow. Pros: Easy to use (not a product you can go overboard with). The tiny fibers really fill the brows up. The wand is really helpful and small enough to ...
