The Body Shop Big and Curvy Mascara

Mascara is a must in my make up troops. I can leave eyeshadow behind - especially if it's a short outgoing, but not mascara. I have weird eye contour -the right with narrow lid, and the left doesn't- that takes me a while to use eyeshadow.
Not to mention my oily lids make the eyeshadow won't stay much longer (except I use primer, of course). So...... mascara comes to the rescue. It can widens my eyes and makes them brighter ......... hopefully （＾＿−）.

For falsie look, I always have faith in L'oreal - any kind of it. It give a lengthen and ticker look to my lashes. Not to mention, they really - really waterproof. Maybe I can say they're storm-proof. But, time for falsie is over. Now, I want something natural, something that can make me looks fresh. Someting which doesn't need extra effort to clean by the end of my tired day ε-(´・｀).

And I found the answer in The Body Shop Big And Curvy Mascara. It comes in 2 types, waterproof with blue bottle and non-waterproof with pink bottle. It cost around Rp 119.000 - 129.000 (I forget the exact price, and I'm to lazy to open the web (#^.^#) ). Since I already bored and tired with my waterproof / stormproof series, now I would like to give the non-waterproof a change. And guess what, it doesn't fail me at all. It doesn't smudge at all, even when I rub my eyes or having a bath. Except when you rub your eyes while taking a bath with facial foam (≧▽≦).I usually use my HG Maybelline eyes and lip remover to clean it thoroughly just with one or two swap. Even it is non-waterproof, it doesn't mean it won't stay on your lashes for a while. It gives my eyes natural - sweet look. If you want to look more intense, it's better if you use eye lashes curler before.

Pros:
- Reasonable price
- Doesn't smudge at all
- Great staying power

Cons:
- None

Repurchase: Yes

RIP HiShine Lip Treatment

It really breaking my heart to know that The Body Shop has discontinued another favourite of mine. After few years ago they discontinued their Oceanus scent series and their oil perfumes, now they discontinued HiShine Lip Treatment. It has been my holy grail lip tratment for years.

I sometimes have dry and chapped lips, and it's not a good thing to see or have. Even I want to cover them, I can't use any kind of lipcolour, since they makes them even worse. On that condition, I only can rely to HiShine Lip Treatment. It really treat my sensitive lips and gives them instant moisture, with sheer colour and shine for coverage as well.


Even the shine does not for a very long time that cause me to reapply frequently (a typical problem for lipgloss), and makes my lips a bit sticky, they don't really a matter to me, compared to the result I get.

So, goodbye my dear friend. Hope I will find something as good as you.

The Body Shop: Born Lippy Vs Lip Butter

I can say that I'm a big fan of lip care. I've been using them since I was in high school. There's a bunch of lip balm I've tried, but my fave were L'oreal and my mom's Elizabeth Arden, which were discontinued now. I forget what the type were, because it's too long to remember. All I can remember is the L'oreal was the first generation of Color Riche. It has a bit heavy smell - especially for teenager; but really moisturize my lips. And the Elizabeth Arden was in a white tube and pink writing on it. It was fragrance free, and a bit drop of it gave an instant - long last moisture.
Well, enough if the flash back ( ･ω･)ﾉ, we return to the present (∩_∩).
For now, I think I still have ammo for about next half year ahead- maybe.


Now, I'd like to compare two products from my favorite brand, The Body Shop. They are Guarana Lip Butter and Raspberry Born Lippy.




Well, I have the old packaging Born Lippy, which I found the new one less attractive. I love the fruity printing from the old one better.
Born Lippy has the amount of 10 ml, or 8.5 by grams. Well, it can give your lips shine, but with less moisture, I can say.
Even Lip Butter has the same amounts, but it has more 0,5 grams of weight. Maybe because the texture is richer. It really moistures in an instant. Well, maybe in some cases it can exfoliate the dry lips before moisture them. Gives a bit of shining in my lips. Well....... All that I need then, moisture and shine (☆^O^☆)


Both of them cost Rp 69.000 and come in a small plastic pot (well, some variants of come in stick form) which a bit annoy me.
I usually use them alone or over lipstick to prevent my lips from chapping and gives a little shine.
Trully great partner to put in your purse. (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
