New Diamond Lashes
Well,
for a long time, I've been saying that Diamond Beauty's Blue lineup are badly
made compared to their other 3 [hot pink, purple and light pink]

I think they realised it too and maybe decided to scrap their blue line up to
replace with a new blue line up?


This is their latest "Natural" Collection and I can't help but realise their
packaging seem to be the in the exact same blue shade as their previously
released "blue trays" line up. I might be wrong though, I will let you guys know
when I lay my hands on these precious babies.

If you are interested in getting them [Singaporeans only], the downside is the
price after shipping will be about $25 [the damn price is jacked up since it is a
new collection] so if you are really interested in getting them, do drop me an
email at mizukihimeko@gmail.com [yes, my yahoo mail is cranky, thus I'm
using gmail for now] 

If you have order Otona Collection [from Dollywink] from me previously, you 
might have realised that 3 out of the 6 here look very similar with Tsu-chan's
latest Otona collection. Part of the reason why I want these is because I really
liked the Otona Style Collection from Dolly wink so I really hope these will not
disappoint me.

One last chance for Sho-bi, if these end up being their previous blue trays'
standard and not the usual pink/hot pink/ purple standard, I'm ditching 
Diamond lashes for good.






Nah, just kidding. I can never give up on having a full series.





Oh yes, since I am on the topic of new release, Jewerich too released 2 new
designs some time early this year [Jan, if my memory ain't failing me]




Well, these can wait till I go Japan next year to purchase them since I am not
exactly a huge Jewerich fan yet [though I do have all their lashes before these
were released...]

Okay, truth is, these are really cheap in Japan [below 1000yen] but if I really
want them, I have to pay about $25 to ship them over [damn merchants
jack up the price of Jewerich to us foreigners because very there are  only a
few sellers for them on-line]

Alrighty, I should be ordering them some time next week, so if you really want
to get your hands on them like I do, email me at mizukihimeko@gmail.com 
which ones you are interested in and how many boxes you want. 
The preorder will take about 3 - 5 weeks.

no show again?
I have a perfectly good reason this time.
I am REALLY studying.
Been studying for the past few days at mcdonnies!
(trust me, more expensive than Starbucks)
I wonder why I dress up so nice,
since I'm just sitting down looking at papers.


been so long since I did otona style so here it is!
I'm so addicted to my short blonde wig, lol.

back to hitting the papers!


sorry but short entry is still an entry, right?
blogging from phone to let you guys know that...
I'm still alive, stay right where you are.
Don't leave meeee!

[Sponsored] MSH Love Liner in Black 「エム・エス・エイチ ラブライナー ブラック」
You have already seen my review for this product [in brown] and how I
absolutely loved it the very first time I used it.
Now, I will be sharing another review of it, this time it is in black!

The super fine tip

Precision, no faltering.

BAM!

MSH Love Liner in Black
「エム・エス・エイチ  ラブライナー ブラック」:

Manufacturing Country: Japan 

Product Weight : 0.55ml

Product Ingredients: TO BE AVAILABLE

Product Type: Liquid

Packaging: 10/10 - I simply L-O-V-E the packaging. Too classy.

Pigmentation: 9/10 - I'm definitely impressed by how dark the black is, coming
from a tip that fine.

Texture: 10/10 - Ultra Smooth! Glides like a snake(笑)

Ease of Application: 10/10 - Definitely the best eyeliner I've used thus far
when it comes to texture/ flow, high precision and control of brush!

Lasting Power: 9.5/10 - It stayed over 12 hours, 'nuff said.

Availability: 4/10 - While it is not being sold offline anywhere in 
Singapore [or at least, I have yet to see it in retail stores], BlingAlways has it!
They are selling it for just SGD $24.90. In Japan itself, it cost about SGD $27
excluding shipping
! This is a SUPER BARGAIN PLEASE!

Price: 9/10 - It is even cheaper than buying in Japan and for the quality,
I don't mind paying more! [A TINY bit more expensive than most drug store
eye liners in Singapore]

Repurchase: YES. I cannot live without my MSH love liners ever since I first 
laid my hands on them. MSH still the undefeated as my holy grail eye liner!

Overall Rating: 9.8/10

Trust me, the only down side is the availability problem.
But fret not, you can get it from Blingalways!

[Review] Diamond Beauty Cheek Color in Number 3, Honey Orange 「ダイアモンドビュティ チークカラー 03: ハニーオレンジ」
*grumbles*
Yes, I'm grumbling at the start because I had to redo this WHOLE review PLUS
ingredient translations.

Diamond Blush in Number 3, Honey Orange
ダイアモンドビュティ チークカラー 03: ハニーオレンジ

See how pretty it is off pan!

This swatch was taken about a year ago?
The colour in the middle

Without further ado, let's jump in straight.



Diamond Beauty Cheek Color in Number 3, Honey Orange 「ダイアモンドビュティ チークカラー 03: ハニーオレンジ」

Product Weight : 6g

Product Ingredients: Talc, Mica, Iron Oxide,  Red 226, -Sorry I will re-translate
the ingredients again when I have time, currently busy with studying for my
prelims-

Blush type: Shimmer

Packaging: 7/10 - I felt that Sho-bi could have done a better job at packaging.
Sure, the transparent packaing is really pretty but it is also tad bit heavier than
other brands and with just the word smacked across the top [well, there is a
little diamonte at the "I"], it is something many will over look.

Pigmentation: 9/10 - The color looks just like the photos; rich and pigmented.
I thought it might look a tad bit dark but when I brushed it over my cheeks, 
but it came out look fabulous!

Texture: 8/10 - Smooth but slightly more fallout when brushed compared to
candy doll. I'm guessing it is not pressed as tightly? Not a biggie since I use
a blush brush anyway. 

Blendability : 8.5/10 - It blends with my foundation easily, does not make me
look like there are 2 ovals of blush slapped on my cheeks. I can easily lighten
the colour by blending it out.

Lasting Power: 8/10 - I always wear this blush when I go clubbing [because
it suits my eye make-up best] and by the time I get home, I can still detect
slight 
colour on my cheeks. That is about 7 hours?

Availability: 2/10 - I bought it long ago, shipping it over myself from Japan.
I am not doing preorders for it as of now too so I really don't know where else
can you get it besides shipping it at an exorbitant price.

Price: 8/10 - I think I paid about $21 after shipping. Can't really remember
because I bought it so long ago!

Repurchase: Yes. It's so versatile, I use it at least once to twice a week!

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

I was very reluctant to do this review because I had actually translated
EVERY single ingredient from katakana and kanji to english... Painstakingly 
typed them out only to get everything(including the review) deleted when I
published it due to unknown reason. Nonetheless... I really like this product
and it is one of my holy grail so I sat down and redid the whole thing.

Hope you guys like it!

[Sponsored] MSH Eyescream in Golden Apple「エム・エス・エイチ アイスクリーム ジェルアイライナ・ゴールデンアップル」 Review
Yea baby, you guys know what I'm going to talk about right?


Today, I will be reviewing the other limited edition colour, Golden Apple!
 

Product itself


Remember, turn how much you NEED as there is no turning back [no pun
intended]

Like the Champagne Silver, this limited edition counterpart also has THREE uses:
1. Eye Shadow Base
2. Eye Liner
3. Eye Shadow


MSH Eyescream in Golden Apple「エム・エス・エイチ ア
イスクリーム ジェルアイライナ・ゴールデンアップル」:

Manufacturing Country : Japan

Product Weight : 0.28g

Product Ingredients: Isododecane, Iron Oxide, Cyclopentasiloxane, PEG/PPG
19/19 Dimethicone, Synthetic Waxes, Hydrogenated Cyclopentadiene
Polydiacetylene, Mica, Nylon-12, (C20-40) Alcohol, Perfluoro Nonyl 
Dimethicone, Polyglyceryl-4 (Diisostearate Acid/ Polyhydroxystearic Acid/ 
Sebacic Acid), Polyethylene, Tetra (di-t-butyl hydroperoxide-hydroxycinnamic 
acid) Pentaerythrityl, Iron Oxides, Tocopherol, Konjou [a kind of dark blue 
powder]

Product Type: Gel/ Creamy

Packaging: 10/10 - Of course, it is also in the clever "stick-like" packaging.
Absolutely cannot complain at all.

Pigmentation: 9/10 - Super duper pretty. Rich and pigmented like the others.
The shimmery look is just impossible to disagree with.

Texture: 8/10 - Not as smooth as liquid liner but much smoother than gel liner
applied with a brush.

Blendability : 6.5/10 - While it did state that it can be used as an eye shadow,
I do not recommend it. Sure, it blends but definitely not as easily or well as
your regular loose/pressed eye shadow.

Lasting Power: 9.5/10 - Like how I tested the silver stick, it fared well in the
"gel-liner" aspect, lasting about 11 hours without any reduced colour intensity.
It can be used as an eye shadow base but I did notice that the gold is slightly
harder to "cover over", especially if you are going to do a look with lighter
colours on your lid.

Availability: 4/10 - While it is not being sold offline anywhere in 
Singapore [or at least, I have yet to see it in retail stores], BlingAlways has it!
They are selling it for just SGD $22.90.

Price: 8/10 - For something this pigmented [on top of that, gel formula means
no need to wait for it to dry], I will say it's worth every dollar.

Repurchase: Yes. My confidence in MSH is sky high!

Overall Rating: 8.75/10

Again, the only drawback is unavailability in many places.
However, you can always get it from BlingAlways (:

So,
I've decided that I will re arrange all my blog post into brands instead of
those sponsored/ advert/ event categories.
However, I will do it another day ^^;;

I just wanted to share my new vlog with you guys.
I didn't realise my Diamond Lash video actually had 76k views!
Unbelievable... because I look TERRIBLE in it T.T
I need to revamp my youtube videos after my exams.

Anyway, bascially this video just shows you my cosmetic collection and
eyelashes [requested]
Here you go:


Haven't posted this in a while but these are the chunk of stuff I have yet to

[Sponsored] MSH Eyescream in Champagne Silver「エム・エス・エイチ アイスクリーム ジェルアイライナ・シャンパンシルバ」 Review
MSH, my favourite eye liner brand.
I've reviewed for this line before in green [click here]
Guess what?
Out of the many things I've received from BlingAlways 3 days ago,
amongst them were these!


Today, I'm reviewing one of the 2 limited edition colours, Champagne
Silver!


That little sticker on the product is to remind [and warn] you that this little 
pencil-like packaging which house the clever "stick design" gel liner can only be
turned ONE WAY


So ladies, turn how much you NEED as there is no turning back [no pun
intended]
Why is this product so awesome?
There is not just one, but THREE uses:
1. Eye Shadow Base
2. Eye Liner
3. Eye Shadow


MSH Eyescream in Champagne Silver
「エム・エス・エイチ アイスクリーム ジェルアイライナ・シ
ャンパンシルバ」

Manufacturing Country : Japan

Product Weight : 0.28g

Product Ingredients: Isododecane, Borosilicate (Ca/Na), Cyclopentasiloxane,
PEG/PPG-19/19 Dimethicone, Synthetic waxes, Mica, Poly Hydrogenated 
Cyclopentadiene, Chromium Hydroxide, Titanium Oxide, (C20-40) Alcohol, 
Nylon-12, Perfluoro Nonyl Dimethicone, Polyglyceryl-4 (Diisostearate Acid/ 
Polyhydroxystearic Acid/ Sebacic Acid), Polyethylene, Tetra (di-t-butyl 
hydroperoxide- hydroxycinnamic acid) Pentaerythrityl, Konjou [a kind of dark 
blue powder], Iron Oxides, Tocopherol

Product Type: Gel/ Creamy

Packaging: 10/10 - I cannot emphasize how clever Japanese are to put a gel
liner into stick form. Splendid.

Pigmentation: 9/10 - The silver came out very rich! To be honest, I have not
seen or come in contact with liners other liquid that come in a variety of colour.
I was quite impressed at how rich the colour came out to be.

Texture: 8/10 - Not as smooth as liquid liner but much smoother than gel liner
applied with a brush.

Blendability : 6.5/10 - While it did state that it can be used as an eye shadow,
I do not recommend it. Sure, it blends but definitely not as easily or well as
your regular loose/pressed eye shadow.

Lasting Power: 9.5/10 - I lined it on my lids then packed some shadows over
the upper lid area to test both lasting power and ability to be used as an
eye shadow base. I have to say, it fared well in both aspects! The colour
remained rich till the end of my day [about 10 hours] and the shadows did
not fade [perhaps it did, but not to the point whereby I could spot an obvious
colour or intensity difference]

Availability: 4/10 - While it is not being sold offline anywhere in 
Singapore [or at least, I have yet to see it in retail stores], BlingAlways has it!
They are selling it for just SGD $22.90.

Price: 8/10 - I am NEVER a fan of gel liner because of the hassle it brings.
However, with the clever packaging [which brings better hygiene & 
convenience] , I will say the price is damn well worth it! 

Repurchase: Yes. After the good experience with the lime green stick, I was
extremely excited and elated to receive these!

Overall Rating: 8.75/10

The only drawback is unavailability in many places.
However, you can always get it from BlingAlways (:

[Sponsored] Dolly Wink Eye Shadow Palette Number 3 in Blue/Orange [Colorful Pop]「ドーリーウインクアイシャドウ04 グリーピンク」
Before I kick off this review,
I noticed that this palette, Country Retro [Dolly Wink Number 3 in 
Blue/Orange] and Colorful Pop [Dolly Wink Number 4 in Green/PinkBeen] have 
both been removed from the Japan Koji Website Line-up.
I'm not 100% sure if it has been discontinued but I do advise whose who
want it/ procrastinating since forever about it to quickly grab it before it's
completely gone from the market.

With that, I will go into the review proper!
I had this item for super long but can't seem to do a proper look with it so I
decided to try it out along with this new short hair look and see how it goes.
In case you don't remember...

I've done reviews for every other palette except this!

So here I am, closing up this series with the final palette's verdict.
Product shots for you!
 

Close Up [True to picture]

I was skeptical about the color combination, being able to pull off for a wearable look or
not. While it is not exactly something you can wear to work, it really gives the "country
girl" look.

-Swatch to be inserted here-

The extremely enticing packaging

I'm sure some people don't see themselves using these colours yet buy it anyway.

Like the other 3 palettes, this one also comes with a step by step illustration to teach
you how to use the colours. Not the only way but if you want to stay safe since these
are colours not often used, 
you can follow it!
Don't have to know Japanese to understand it.

Shan't keep you waiting any further!

Dolly Wink Eye Shadow Palette Number 3 in Blue/
Orange 
[Country Retro]「ドーリーウインクアイシャドウ03ブルーオレンジ」:

Product Weight : Not stated [I suppose 2.5g/ 3g]

Product Ingredients: Talc, Dimethicone, Nylon-12, Isostearic Acid, Cetyl
Ethylhexanoate, Boron Nitride, Palm Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Aloe Vera Leaf
Extract, Methylparaben, Tocopherol, (+/-) Iron Oxide, Mica, Titanium Oxide,
Silica, Perfluorooctyl Triethoxysilane, Synthetic Phlogopite, Borosilicate (Ca/Al),
Tin Oxide, Titanate (Li/Co), Aluminium Hydroxide, Gunjou (?), Red 226, Red 202,
Green 404, Yellow 205

Product Type: Matte

Packaging: 8/10 - The black round casing is small and compact, thus easy to
bring around and hard to get dirty. I really love the little heart shaped window
on the top lid, allowing the colours to peek out! Simple yet classy. I might
have given it a 9.5 or even 10 if a little mirror was included somewhere.

Pigmentation: 7/10 - I think Dolly Wink shadows should be used with an
applicator instead of brush because they are a lot more pigmented that way.
When I use the brush, they always come off a lot lighter than what they look.
That aside, when I use an applicator, the color gets picked up pretty well and
looks rich. Color payoff is decent in just one swipe. [refer to swatch]

Texture: 8.5/10 - Smooth! The powder packed is really fine and smooth,
zero fallouts.

Blendability : 8/10 - It blends easily and nicely. I did not face any problem in
blending and ensuring a smooth transition from one colour to another at all!

Lasting Power: 9/10 - I'm not sure how well it will hold up without a primer
though, as I always use a primer when using eye shadows. Primers are
supposed to enchance and keep the color on your lids for long hours so I
guess this rating is pretty much expected.

Availability: 8/10 - While it is being sold in Watsons for a whooping SGD
$32.90, I will recommend buying from BlingAlways as they are only selling it
for SGD $25.90, an astonishing 21% cheaper than Watsons! All you have to
do is just wait for perhaps 2 weeks or so? You save SGD $7 for a palette
that's really a lot! 

Price: 8.5/10 - If you are buying from BlingAlways, I will say it's a 8.5/10 but
if you are talking about Watsons, I will only give it a 3/10. Personally, I will NOT
pay a whooping SGD $32.90 for a palette with just 4 colours. Nope, not even 
Tsubasa can make me do it. But if you purchase it from BlingAlways for only
SGD $25.90, it is totally worth it as many of the other drug store brand
palettes also cost around SGD $20 - SGD $25, not to mention this palettes has
a much cuter/ to die for packaging! 


Repurchase: Yes. It is not very expensive when purchased from BlingAlways,
easy to bring around since it's compact, and it's endorsed by Tsu-chan....
*Popteen/ Popsister Model released product sucker* Also, I'm actually
considering to buy 1 to keep as spare since it is probably discontinued!

Overall Rating: 7/10

I HIGHLY recommend Dolly wink lovers x Japan make up lovers x Tsu-chan
lovers to grab this! If you procrastinate any longer, it might be gone forever!

BlingAlways to get free local postage!
Quick, grab your palette now!

[Review] Candy Doll Mineral Face Powder 「キャンディドール フェイスパウダー」

I know there are some people waiting for this.
Sorry it took so damn long!
I finally got my ass down and determined to churn this review up no matter
what!

So what am I referring to?


Can't see the product clearly? Here's a huge shot that you absolutely cannot miss.
 

That's right! Candy Doll Mineral Powder [Purple Packaging]
I have to say, definitely a WAY overdue review and there are probably a gazillion
out there by now but... I still have to share~


First started using it some time last year, I think I bought this myself?


Anyway, I have to complement on how fine the powder is!


Here we go~


Candy Doll Mineral Face Powder 「キャンディドール フェイスパウダー」:


Product Weight : 10g

Product Ingredients: Talc, Synthetic Phlogopite, (HDI/ Trimethylol Hexyl
Lactone) cross Polymer, (Dimethicone/ Methicone) copolymer, Silica, Ca
Carbonate, Iron Oxide, Coconut Oil, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract


Product type: Loose Powder

Scent: 0/10 - I really cannot detect any scent at all. 

Packaging: 7.5/10
 - It is pretty much a standard sized tub for loose powder;
compartment for powder and face puff separated by the sieve. One of the 
reasons I don't really fancy bringing loose powder around is because of the
bulk it packs; compared to face/pressed powder, it is usually about 30- 50% 
thicker. I do, however, love the black and white stripes with purple printed 
words.

Coverage: 3.5/10
- This is a loose powder, what coverage were you
expecting 
from it? I do wear this on top of just sunblock on better skin days
though, to 
act like I have no make up on and yet still very good skin(笑)

Texture: 9/10 - Smooth, fine and extremely lightweight. 

Blendability : 9/10 - It blends with and sets my foundation extremely well. It
does not make my foundation look cakey, giving it a very natural finish.


Lasting Power: 8/10 - I don't touch up when I leave house and my foundation
usually last over 10 hours with this.

Availability: 8.5/10 It is retailing in Watsons Singapore and I'm sure you
have a Watsons near you! You can also get this item online from BlingAlways!

Price: 7/10 - I believe it is retailing in Watsons at $33.90 each. Yes, a tad bit
pricier than normal loose powder [Candy doll items are not included in
Watsons members sale) but look, it's made in Japan! That statement itself
makes me more willing to pay more [and the cute packaging, of course.]

Repurchase: Yes. I really loved the texture [fine-ness] of the powder and
the cute packaging [not to forget, TSU-CHAN!] so a definite repurchase for me.

Overall Rating: 8.75/10

All in all, I really liked the product. The only setback is that portability [I know
that no matter how much more bulk it packs, it is not that difficult to carry it in
your make-up bag but still, I have to compare it fairly with competing products]
and the price.

My work here is done! :3
