Canmake gokunobi mascara

So this is another item from the Christmas random bag. I really wish I can read Japanese. But anyway the packaging has English explanation.

Lets talk about the packaging first. It is pretty eye catching. And it's easy to remove the mascara. You can remove it from the top, just open the flaps or the bottom, just pop out the supporter. The mascara itself is bright pink. Like Barbie pink but more flashy. Plus the silver shiny lid, just scream pick me. But I find that's a bit too much. It doesn't look classy. There is a seal at the cap that when you twist it, the sticker will tear. I like that. I can see that my mascara is intact and really new. Moving on.

Lashes steadily become ultra long! Curls spring up! So basically it's for lengthening and it helps to curl your lashes.



1. Gokunobi ultra-lengthening effect. Packed with fibers that twine around your lashes making the tips longer creating the long lashes.
2. Curl maintenance effect. Contains curling wax, to lift lashes and achieve upward curl that last longer.
3. Separating effect. The brush helps to create a fan-shaped lashes that spread out. Clumps-resistant formulation makes it hard for lashes to stick to each other.
4. Quick and easy to wash using warm water.
5. Waterproof. So it can be remove with warm water but it is water-resistant. Claims protection against sweat and humidity.
6. Three types of conditioning effect. Gentle care for your lashes. Contains royal jelly extract (moisturizing agent) rosa centifolia extract (moisturing agent) and macadamia nut oil (emollient agent)
*Uses film-type formulation, so if you rub it too much, there is is a risk it may came off.

Lengthening - alright.
Curl - I guess.
Separating - not really.
Easy to wash - yup.
Protect against sweat and humidity - I guess, just the humidity. The sweat not tested.
Waterproof - not tested.

This mascara is prefect for Singapore weather. As it claims to protect even from the humid weather.

I really love this mascara. That I had to buy a back up. I am almost finishing with my second tube. I really like how this is a YLBB, your lashes but better. If there is such a thing. I'm just making it up. But it really is just that.

It is not thick, I guess that's where the non clumping suppose to came from. It is not a dramatic mascara or even super lengthening. It just makes your lashes appear thicker and darker and feels like as if you are not wearing any. That is of course if you apply just a few coats.

If you apply a lot more coats, it actually builds up and gives a more done look and still without looking dramatic. I love it. You have to do one lash at a time, as it dries up and it will be hard to apply a second time. So make sure you do it fast, or just focus one eye at a time.

I tend to rub my eyes towards the end of the day, and I do find my mascara slowly disappearing. Which is good as I will be removing them, so it's easier for me. But on days I need to be out longer, then this mascara is not ideal.

The brush has one side straight, one side curve out. You are suppose to use it in a zigzag pattern from the root or the tip. It will help to fan out your lashes. I find that my lashes are too short to be able to apply it in a zigzag way. It will then transfer to my eye lid easily. The good thing though it can be remove with your finger easily too.

This is not my holy grail mascara or anything but I really love the effect of not-wearing-mascara. Just so natural.

So if you want a daily mascara without it being too fake looking, you should consider this. The price is on the pricier side at $23.90 but its so worth it. Thicker, longer, darker, curl up natural looking lashes, that is easy to remove. I can't say enough how much I love the natural look this mascara gives me. I'm in love.

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.

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?
