Benefit They're Real!

When they're real mascara first launch or it was still pretty new then, I was in HK. I did not want to spend so much money in other currency, so I did not buy them. Anyway, it was quite pricey, when my fav Anna Sui mascara then was only half the price. But I was still intrigue that a mascara can promise fake lashes look.

A few years later, I got the mini mascara. I am not sure how I feel about it. I love the wand. I love the tip of the wand. It makes getting into the corner of the eyes easily. At the same time, the wand is kind of big. And I wish it were smaller.

When I first use it, I don't like the formula. I don't like the formula for a long time. When it finally becomes more dry, it finally works for me. As you can see I do have to curl my lashes for it to actually be nicely done. It doesn't curl for you.
I find that it doesn't hold the curl very well. It is also very crisp and I don't like that. I have to be careful not to touch my eyes or my lashes will stick together.
I can't apply it to the lower lashes, not that I have any, as it will smudge. For top lashes, I will have to stay still for a while for the mascara to be fully dry.

My lashes doesn't look like I've put on fake lashes. It just look normal. If I layer it on, it will clump on me. So I tried to love it, in a way I do like it, but it just wasn't the one for me. It also can be hard to remove. Not my fav mascara but also not the worse. Wouldn't purchase it on my own, but if it's free, I wouldn't mind.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty. 

Beauty Uk Baked Blush

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
