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.

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. 

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...
