Falsies Haul + Shu Abracadabra Fantasy coming soon!

I'm on a false lashes kick lately. At the moment it is mostly acquiring them rather than putting them on! This post by Beauty Scribbler really inspired me to start using falsies. Immediately grabbed those Taiwan handmade falsies last week.

There was a time when I was really interested in Shu Uemura lashes but seeing as how I'm a fairly boring individual that barely goes out to night events, there was no point to such dramatic falsies. I never felt comfortable with them on and always worried I would look too freaky or they would fall off. One of the first horror stories about falsies was from my mom when she was on one of the first dates with my dad. How she got all dolled up including wearing false lashes for the first time, and they ended up on her cheek during dinner!

Since starting this blog I've felt like trying different things. No point putting yourself in a pigeon-hole, using one safe look and not trying something because you think it might be too young/old or think about what people might say. Plus practice really does make perfect.

Especially with falsies.

Ardell Wispies


Ardell Fairies


Daiso Individual 8mm

The Ardell lashes were purchased through a forumer at RM15 each. They are also sold for about RM22 in Sasa but only available in a few styles.

Daiso falsies and dark glue were RM5 each. They do have quite a huge selection of lashes but the quality isn't like the handmade lashes. The ones bought previously were very plasticky and scratchy. For RM5 it's good for experimentation.

I'll use these lashes in a look sometime. Very blah makeup mood these couple of days :( So much drama ....

Also went on a hunt for lash glue. Had decided on the the Koji Dolly Wink Lash Fix. It is priced at RM45.90 and available at Sasa 1 Utama (old wing) but not at Sasa Selective, Empire Subang.

In the end passed on it for the Shu Uemura lash adhesive partly because of the price. The nifty applicator was a good selling point but as there are not many reviews out about this product am unsure about going with something that may irritate the eyes. I have had great experience using the Shu lash adhesive so not point messing with something that's not broken. From online reviews have heard that Shu is the least reactive/irritating to the eyes and easy to remove. Shu Uemura Lash Adhesive retails for RM38 at all Shu Uemura counters and stores.

Gosh sound like such a fangirl ... just love their products though :D I probably don't spend as much as some other Shu fans though ...

Of course I've yet to try Duo glue yet. It's like the HG lash glue for almost everyone. Will give it a try with the next spree or when I head to the MAC store next Friday.

Ooh big news managed to check out the Shu Uemura + Aya Takano Abracadabra Fantasy Collection at 1 Utama on Friday evening. It will only go on sale Monday, 1 November and is Limited Edition. I had checked a day earlier at the Shu store in Empire Subang and items were in store but not available for sale yet. So we were lucky to be able to see them in person at 1U. We weren't allowed to swatch the palettes but were allowed to test the Miracle Cherry Blush Tint.

My sister and I fell in love with it immediately. The color on the skin, how little product is needed ... omg. It's kind of like Origins Pinch Your Cheeks (not available in Asia anymore .. sniff) but more translucent red, much more melty smooth. Come Monday morning, I'm going to grab one for each of us.

The smell was divine! It reminded me of bubblegum, scented erasers and inexplicably reminded me of my childhood. Priced at RM90.

The palettes - Reindeer Kiss and Bowwow!Magic Queen - were priced at RM198. Did not check out the other items as I was not interested in them and by then a crowd had gathered. Hope I manage to get there early on Monday to get those cheek tints. Am so in love with them. They need to be permanent!
