Kay Collection

Hello everyone,

months ago I've received a hampers full of goodies from Kay Collection.

Kay Collection itself carries multiple products and brands from Japan and other countries too. Products like Dolly Wink, Vitacreme B12 and many more can be found at their website.

-*-

They also providing makeup case, pouch, bag and brushes alongside with other makeup tool.

I love their cosmetic bag since it has a big mirror in it. So I can carry it around during traveling and simply put on my makeup anywhere.

-*-

The container is quite sturdy and have pockets plus ample size for everything I need from base makeup to colors. This is of course made for personal use from Masami Shouko.

-*-

Inside, my favorite lashes are here. Falsies from Kay Collection somehow always fits nicely and doesn't need trimming, their glue also works really well. Transparent and sticks all day.

The lashes also stays looking gorgeous up to 5-10 usages (just be gentle) and the shape remains as curled as it was first opened from the box. I love their quality and reasonable pricing too. Same goes with their brushes. From the one that shaped like a sponge at the end and makes blending fun to the brushes for the eye shadow

-*-.

Kay Collection also have Masami Shouko Oil and Sweat Film, a product which is thin like paper and absorb all the oils and sweat when pressed against.

Thank you so much Kay Collection for the wonderful goodies.

False Eyelash Applicator

Hello everyone!!

Who love falsies??? I do!!! We all do!!! Heehee, falsies is legitimately here and they are like, everywhere. So many brands of lashes and so many shape and even colors too.

Some are very firm and easy to be used while some are known to be made from real hair and super thin and moreover flimsy. Those are kinda difficult to be used.

Fret not, here are some tools available at AYou Beauty, false eyelash applicator.

-*-

There are several options here and each with their own characteristic. In this post, I'll review some of them.

-*-

This is KAI, I see the one shaped like this in beauty store as well, seems like this type of applicator easily found here and there. The reason is probably due to the shape, the curves and the container that held the lashes.

-*-

The details on the packaging pretty much sums it up and detailed with the image. We can just follow 1,2,3 and put it on,easy right? Well, that's depends on how you use it.

-*-

First, I find the container, the white falsies holder to be more hassle than useful. I think our hand do a better job in holding them then putting the falsies at it's exact location, it is not easy to stands them up on it.

So I prefer to hold it using my clean fingers and let the applicator get a good grip on it.

Put the glue on, wait around 10-20 seconds and move your head like it's looking something above before moving the eyes to the horizontal position, like when you're using an eyeliner, gently place the falsies attached to the applicator to the eyelid where the eyes is 1/3 open. And... yes, if the shape of your eyes is not exactly like the applicator's curve, expect the lashes to be a bit unfit to the lids or you might need to adjust it a bit. I find this applicator is more suitable for me as a makeup artist that when using it alone.

So this applicator is helping me putting on lashes to other people than myself.

-*-

This is me after putting on the lashes with the help of KAI false eyelash applicator ... and my fingers ^___^'

-*-




Next, it is my favorite out of all the false eyelash applicator I've tried. This is far more suitable for a solo use as in to use the falsies on myself. According to Another You Beauty, this item is best seller as well. 

The shape, curve and details is just right. I can easily use it to put on the upper falsies or lower, just flip it. And It is the perfect tool for right and left handed too. Press the handle and the clasp will open and we can just put the falsies there with the direction accordingly.

Put the glue on while the lashes is being held, wait for a while, and then gently put the 'roots' of the falsies onto the eyelids near the natural eyelashes.

-*-

The thin handles also become a good feature of the applicator, we can tilt it a bit during application so we can see the falsies clinging to the eyelid. It does took a bit of practice at first but it is still the easiest one and handiest one here for private use.

I still have one more to share, stay tune, and don't forget to check out my instagram @carnellin for I will share a short video of using them.

Thank you so much AYou Beauty.

Shu Uemura Multi-functional Eyelash S Curler New Generation

Hi everyone,

Who doesn't know Shu Uemura has that legendary eyelash curler? Now, I'll try their S Curler, well, actually I have been using it for a month and keen to share my review.

New Generation Eyelash s Curler

The innovative new s curler fits any eye shape and offers precise application so that you can really emphasize parts of your lashes without pinching skin, thanks to its small structure without side-bars.

This addition to your make-up bag is compact and portable, allows you to curl even the shortest of lashes due to its non-sidebar and angle of the padding. It's truly an essential piece that you'll fall in love with instantly. ARTIST TIP "use alone for the best fit to any eye shape, or after a full eyelash curler for a quick curl."

-*-

First, let's compare with the 'original' design, the one that has won so many hearts from its user.

The size.

S in front of the S curler may meant small, as it around half the size of the original. The original one is made for the whole lashes in an eye to fit, as this might be a bit of a problem for those whose eye size is not in the range provided, usually those with smaller eyes.

The S Curler answer that call and to help reach every side of the lashes.

-*-

It's not that the original formula has issues, it's just shu uemura wants to perfected their tool or give option that haven't been around, so it's pretty much their way of keep on innovating.

-*-

The small figure helps curl the lashes in the corner and pick up even the shortest lash. I know that because I have a short lashes myself and sometime I do have difficulties using the original one due to the wide and sidebar.

-*-

The white thingy on top help me to place the curler exactly where I want it to be, and the black pad below are bouncy yet firm enough to curl the lashes without breaking it off.

-*-

In term of convenience, it won! And it is effective to in 'raising' the eye lashes.

-*-

These are the before after curling, after being curled and using mascara the result will be more obvious.

-*-

Below is the after + mascara:

-*-



To see how small it is please look at the image below, it doesn't even cover the whole eye. I really like using it since there's no 'pinching' felt.

-*-

And here's my video of using it. Take note, when when pressing the lashes the eyes can also be closed for a more 'curled' finish.

-*-

Overall,

It is a very good addition to my makeup tool, the S Curler can snug in between small eyes and short lashes. The white pad is brilliantly made as a bench for for the lid and put the curler on the right spot when curling the eyelashes. But one thing thou' the white pad can easily fall off, so be careful there and don't lose it as it doesn't have a spare in the box, unlike the black pad, they do provide a spare inside.

As usual, (like the original one) there's a black pad on the lower side to help curl the lashes and protecting them at the same time.

What can I say?! It's another great product made by shu uemura.

Thank you Shu Uemura Indonesia.
