A High performance waterbased liquid eyeliner that draws intense and blacker than black lines with asolute precision. The flexible thin tip is easy to use and provides ultimate conntrol and smooth strokes. Line Up to create sleek lines to bold, dramatic lines with ease.

CI 77266, AQUA BUTYLENE GLYCOL, STYRENE / ACRYLATES / AMMONIUM METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER, PEG-60 HYDROGENATED CASTROL OIL, COCO-GLUCOSIDE, CITRIC ACID, SODIUM LAURETH-12 SULFATE, AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE, PHENOXYETHANOL, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM BENZOATE, IODOPROPYNYL BUTYLCARBAMATE

-*-



The size of the pen is just right, the 'blackness' is deep and satisfying, but it's not as smooth as I want it to be, a bit tugging, hence I do recommend using it as short connected lines instead of one stroke for a better finish.

-*-




The product is convenient to be used, I don't have any allergic reaction nor irritation upon usage. The formula does have a good staying power but definitely can't stand against my greasy eyelid (oh well, not many does) but since it was waterbased, it cleanses easily with foaming facial wash. The good news is, it simply doesn't smudge. The formula crumble and fall but never smudge.

-*-





For me, this is a perfect go to eyeliner to put inside my purse. I normally use eyeliner during special occasion, like right before an event. A hot and humid weather made eye makeup doesn't really last, if you wonder that many beauty advisor inside department stores has really good eye makeup without ever seeing them smudge nor has panda eyes, one of the reason beside products is that. they are using it when they are already arrived at the mall. Hence the air conditioner has worked and it is cool and dry. They can apply makeup better without the delays from the humidity as the makeup set.

Line Up dries pretty fast and sets as dark as I want it too, as long as I was kept indoor with the air conditioner on, the eyeliner will stays beautiful.

-*-




Next is High Brow Eyebrow Micromatic.

Let your brows frame your face with our High Brow micromatic brow liner, with its high performance on precision, design, color pay-off, and usefulness. It is formulated with Vitamin C and E to keep our skin conditioned, moisturised and healthy and it is also smudge proof, long lasting, waterproof and designed for warm and humid weather. 

With a unique pencil applicator on one end and a spiral grooming brush on the other, this extra slim pencil size is fine enough for thinner lines and exact definition. This formula lets you create natural-looking brows—or apply it more heavily for a glamorous look that lasts

CI 7749, CI 77491, MICA, CI 75470, CI 77492, DIISOSTEARYL MALATE, TRIETHYLHEXANOIN, C20-40 ACID, SYNTHETIC WAX, C20-40 ALCOHOLS, POLYETHYLENE, GLYCERYL BEHENATE/EICOSADIOATE, ETHYLENE/PROPYLENE COPOLYMER, ETHYLCELLULOSE, BORON NITRIDE, VP/EICOSENE COPOLYMER, TOCOPHEROL, ASCORBYL PALMITATE

It was so slim, in fact for me, it was a bit too slim. I wish the pencil would be chubbier for an easier grip. However, since the pencil is slim, the tip as well, therefor we can easily create fine lines for eye brows or even make fine stripes like the eyebrow has been embroided.

The product itself is not waterproof nor water resistant. It does has staying power, but not against wiping. Hence, when the rain come, cover them well.

-*-



Unlike High Brow, Romantic Eye Pencil, aka the eyeshadow and eyeliner in one is actually resist to water better and a waterproof too. It was superb.

This is not like your ordinary eye pencil, we’ve created the ultimate soft and creamy pencil, not only it is convenient and easy to apply but what is fun is that you can use as eyeliners or blend as eye shadow. These velvety, lightwearing pencil glide on with ease and contain a lot of pearly shimmer and they are extremely crease-proof, smudge-proof, sweatproof, waterproof and lasts all day, literally for 24hrs!

This retractable matic pecil comes with integrated sharpener, making this pencil as one of a must have for your make-up bag to go, with so many ways to do your eye makeup, whether  to use as as eyeliner to on the waterline (khol kajal) and blend as eyeshadow; perfect for making  romantic look from day to night

It was really easy to be used and the  color is soft to bold, we can easily blend it before it set, use it as eyeliner or I prefer it as eyeshadow due to the shade. But the romantic feeling is there without fail. Use a firm brush right after application to help smudge them, and it will set in a matter of seconds.

-*-



And the product will stay on beautifully. Really love the staying power, I wish they come with more shades to pick.

The shape is just unique, and the size of the brush is big, really big. Those who have short lashes, like me, may have difficulty using the product.

Since I have eyelash extension and mascara is not suggested to be used, my sister gladly demonstrate and use the product for review purpose.

Look how big the mascara wand is, it is almost as the size of her eye.

-*-



And below is the result of her using the mascara.

-*-




The mascara unable to grasp the lashes from the root, only a halfway through. It help defining the lashes into a darker shade, longer and better in volume.

Since the wand is quite big, using it is a bit of a challenge itself, mistakes easily happens, do have a cotton bud around for a bit of mess.

-*-





Once used, the mascara is pretty good in terms of waterproof, staying power, smudge and mess proof. But we would prefer it with small brush and smaller wand too to help those in shorts.

Next is the collection that comes with mascara, eyeliner, lip balm, cc cream, and a blusher.

Some of them are already shared here and some other are on my previous posts some time ago.

The CC Cream and blusher, a cream wonderful blusher which now I have in rose, my favorite shade.

-*-

Fruity Tinted Sweety Lip Balm.

Fruity Tinted Sweety Lip Balm sweeps on juicy flavor and nourishes lips with its conditioning formula. Great for wearing alone or layer with your favorite lipstick. Enriched with jojoba oil, shea butter, avocado oil and bees wax, this must-have, rich, buttery lip balm melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish creating sweetly and kissable lips in just one simple glide.

It is tinted just enough, like the kind of tinted that gives a sheer hint for daily use, teens who wants to look natural and fresh without looking like using makeup should definitely try the lip balm. It has goodness that help protects dry lips as well.

It is also rather soft and natural in finish, perfect for those who doesn't really like 'fake' finish.
