Haraju-Cute Box Two - All about Big Alluring eyes

everbluec — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 16:23:12 EST

The theme for the 2nd Haraju-cute bloggers' box is All about big alluring eyes.
A box containing 2 brands Bonavoce and Automatic Beauty (AB) that will made your eyes bigger and alluring.

The 3 products in Haraju-Cute Box Two.
Bonavoce Ultra long mascara, AB double eye rubber (double eyelid's glue) and AB Mezical Fiber Version 1.00.

Automatic Beauty(AB)
Japan's leading double eyelid products. Founded in Japan, the parent company of AB, Blue and Pink Ltd always aims to bring out the beauty in all girls. Their products have always been popular in Japan and have received many unoressuve reviews. Consumers identify Blue and Pink Ltd with simple to use beauty products that enable them to meet their beauty needs easily.

Due to its roaring popularity in Japan, AB moves rapidly into Taiwan - the next Asia beauty giant. Endorsed by the Taiwan makeup guru, Kevin, the brand continues to flourish. NOW AB is available in Singapore.

Automatic Beauty (AB) Double Eye Rubber
[Double eyelid's glue]
Price : SD$17.90

Step 1 - Have a clean lids (free from oil or powder)

Step 2 - Find the height you want your fold (double eyelid's fold) to be..

Step 3 - apply the glue on the lid (like drawer a curve line across... (apply abit of the glue on the wand/applicator that come with it)
Step 4 - open eye and push the lid into the crease using the wand/applicator

My double eyelid fold too deep and wide.. so this glue doesn't really work on me..
but I still do alittle demo.. kekeke ..

Apply glue on my clean and dry lid.. slightly above my "double eyelid crease line" hopefully to create a wide double eyelid fold... open my eye and use the wand/applicator to push back the skin to create the fold... it does look abit wider after the inital "fixing" but when I blink again.. the fold shift back to my original position. (My double lid's fold too deep la... so the glue feel abit weak on me)

This is most suitable for those who have inner double lids (those hidden type), hooded lids and single eyelids to create a wider and bigger eyes.

Automatic Beauty (AB) Mezical Fiber
Price :: SD$19.90(30pcs), SD$27.90 (60pcs) and SD$45.90 (120pcs)

Step 1 - Apply on clean and dry eyelid...

Step 2 - find the height your wanna create on the lid

Step 3 - Pull open one (or two layer up if you want a "thicker/stronger fold") mezical fiber and stick on the lid...

Step 4 - cut away the excess (be carefull not to cut off your lashes or your skin)

I find that the mezical fiber has a more stronger hold/grip as compare to the glue (but glue look more natural on the skin)... I use this to correct the fold back to the original position when my double lid fold cut into my inner eye's corner (I have parallel double eyelids.. so when one cut into the inner corner.. it will made my eye look unbalance - very the obvious!!!)

Bonavoce
Bonavoce is the official brand of mascaras and eyeliners produced by Saeko Dokyu an active model in Japan's fashion industry, TV personality and actress in Japan.

The origin of the name Bonavoce is a term coined by a combination of French and Italian meaning "Beautiful time". It's about spending beautiful, quality time, whether it's with your loved ones, with friends or living life.

Being familiar with cosmetics, Saeko knows what she wants in her mascaras and eyeliners and has poured her heart into producing this range. Saeko dreams for Bonavoce to become a brand that will be loved by many people.

Released recently on 15th April 2012(in Singapore), the range includes two types of mascaras as well as two colors of liquid liners.

Note:: Received the Volume mascara at the blogger event and the liquid liner (own purchase)...

KATE Cosmetics 2012 Spring Summer Makeup Collection

everbluec — Sun, 06 May 2012 08:25:09 EDT

April 2012 (Singapore), Trend setting Japanese cosmetics brand - KATE launched their highly anticipated Spring Summer Collection that is perfectly in tune with the best looks of the season.

Stepping away from dramatic hues of Fall Winter to embrace the softer and more lustrous colors of Spring Summer. This collection focuses largely on creating softly shades, lightly textured and contoured eyes.

KATE Cosmetics sent me 3 products from this new collection to try it out and review.
(I will try these out for sometimes before I update with a Look/review entry on these 3 products.)

Kate Real Create Eyes
Price: SD$27
Comes in 5 different colors : pink, brown, orange, green and blue

A five shade eyeshadow palette designed specially to create large “real 3D” eyes through a fine balance of light and dark colours. The palette consists of Clear Jelly which increases translucency and lustre, Clear Real Colour that contains light-transmitting pearl powder, and three gradation monotone colours to create deeply contoured eyes.

Swatches in various lighting...

Kate Art Dial Mascara
Price: SD$27

Bold and revolutionary, the Kate Art Dial Mascara is fitted with a tilted comb applicator that lengthens, maximises and curls lashes all at once.

The comb allows excellent lash separation, preventing possible clumping while fully coating each strand evenly. The lashes are simultaneously lifted from the base and curled or lengthened according to preference, with the lift and curl maintained by a fast-drying adhesive fluid.

The Kate Art Dial Mascara also prevents the mascara from drying up prematurely by a special twisting mechanism that dispenses fluid only when the dial-comb is turned. A great choice for lower lashes as well.

Twist to release mascara wax...

Twisted out the mascara wax...
The amount shown in the pic below are about 4 twists(to show you how it look when the wax flow out). Normally 1 to 2 twists is enough.

Kate Deep Liquid Eyeliner (Waterproof)

A unique double function eyeliner, comes complete with a liquid liner and brown powder for outlining and blending. The new flat felt tip of the liquid liner allows both fine and broad lines to be drawn with ease.

The color blending tip on the other hand can be easily applied to create beautiful gradations on the outer corners of the eyes.

KATE Super Sharp Liner
Price: SD$17
Available in Jet Black, Natural Black and natural brown.

Comes with an ultra thin brush that enables the finest lines to be drawn smoothly. Higher fade-resistance had been achieved via a newly developed sebum-forming agent, making KATE Super Sharp Liner impervious to sweat and moisture. Increased pigments also allow for better coloration and deeper blacks.
