Five Beauty Falsies

 

I recently discovered a local lash brand called Five Beauty because they reached out to me and sent me a kit for review.

As most people think that applying false lashes is one of the most difficult step in makeup application, the brand created Adhesive False Eyelashes and Lash Liner Sets!  These are the ultimate beauty essential for women-on-the-go!

Truth be told, most liner glue are easier to apply but since the glue aren't as thick as manually applying them with a lash glue (on tube), I find them not staying longer than the normal way.  And to be honest, I find it normal to apply false lashes after EVERY eye makeup application, but for this particular brand, I think applying falsies on bare eyelid is the way to go for the glue to stick better!  Just imagine, your eyelid full of eyeshadow, the thin line of lash glue won't be as sticky anymore.

Do you get it?

But true enough, these liner adhesives from are so far the best I have tried as of the moment.  No one can change my "old style-way" of lash application but I did use the set for a photoshoot I did.  A studio that does not require me to stay under the sun, to perspire and just several hours of photoshoot.  I cannot imagine this to work for whole day weddings (that's just me) especially for those who are monolided or those with hooded eyelids. A "liner glue" just won't be enough to last the humidity as well.

One tip is to maybe apply a thicker liner.

THICKER LINER = THICKER GLUE.

But again, not all eye shapes would work well with thick liners.  But I am intrigued to try their Crystal Cear Adhesive Liner.

How To Apply False Lashes

 

Hello everyone!
I've done How to Apply False lashes so many times in this blog but mostly with photos.  

Read: "How to Apply Falsies"

And the application still holds the same with a bit of "upgrade" to make things easier.  We are in this generation where things are easier right?

Aside from methods become easier and quicker, I have to raise a point that lashes are getting better - more natural and lightweight! And let's not forget friendlier price tag!

Kudos to Nippon Esthetic for creating super lightweight and easy-to-apply false lashes!  I am loving this design called Margherita!  I am unsure how many times I wore this on special occasions!

A quick IG Reel on how to apply!

I hope this helps!

NEW! Too Faced Better Than Sex Doll Lashes Mascara

 

Ah, Sephora Philippines recently sent me their newest Mascara available on their website from Too Faced.

Too Faced Cosmetics has been around for so many years and as much as I have great experience with their makeup products —- easpecially their eyeshadows.  I haven’t tried a single mascara from the brand so this was perfect timing!

One thing I checked, this mascara is ophthalmologist-tested, which is good as I have very sensitive eyes ! SO I made sure I was clear on that department before I further test this product.  I have used this mascara for a total of 7 times for 7 days!  And here’s what I have to say!

Sephora PH website description:

What it is:

A mascara that stretches your lashes to dramatic lengths and defies gravity with 24-hour curl.

What it does:

This mascara was created to stretch and lift lashes to their sexy limits. The slim brush was designed to help maximize the length and curl of straight lashes as it hugs the natural curvature of the lash line, reaching to the roots of lashes to deliver dramatic volume while helping separate lashes with fanned bristles. This non-smudging, warm water washable formula gives you weightless volume and long, lush lashes so amazing, they’re… BETTER THAN SEX!

My first-try was a good experirence because I like how the tube was heavy enough for me to have a nice “grip”.  Overall, the packaging and the look earn a good thumbs up from me, well considering the price, at least they made it look really good and expensive!

On to the wand, I like the curve side of the brush making it easier for me to reach the bottom part of my lashes which I hardly ever do.

On first layer, I can easily see the lenghtening, it may not look obvious on photos but in person, I can see my lashes increased in length and it darkened my lashes at some point.  Not WOW type of volume but good enough to see the effect.

Bear in mind that I have super thin, sparse lashes so this is the best before and after photo I took.  I can imagine girls having thick and full lashes to fully enjoy the benefits of using this mascara.

What I noticed from this mascara is the nice formulation - non-clumping no matter how many layers I applied!  I was surprised how it can curl up my lashes as well even without using an eyelash curler.  The formulation is lightweight and my lashes stayed lifted the whole day!  

Good news is, no smudging even if I worked out and cooked on a steamy kitchen!

Better Than Sex…STEAMY..what a nice combo!  *laugh*

BeachBorn PiggyLash Review

"Use Castor Oil ma'am!"

"Ma'am, iksi ng lashes mo, try mo Castor Oil."

I've heard those lines gazillion times, I always ask "Where to buy?" and ended up with answers like "Sa Mercury lang!" and I never bought one.

I guess it's the fact that it is housed in bottle and the thought of putting "oil" on my lashes.  Seriously: "Seryoso ka ba? Masakit yon for sure!"  was on top of my head.  You know me, I love beauty but I love myself more!  Why would I torture myself right? :P

So when I got myself a BeachBorn PiggyLash named so cute plus housed in a bottle that looks like a makeup and skincare product!  Why not?

I used it right away and fast forward to today, it has been a month already!
