Blockbuster, Mascaras and Aishwarya's Hair Care

Some beauty care updates. 


-----------------------------------


Estee Lauder


Estee Lauder's Blockbuster Set is back! 

When I first decided to start being a MUA part time, this set saved my life by giving me all the essential items with a superbly cost effective price tag. 


I feel my original set is better in quality actually, but I would still recommend noob MUAs or anyone interested in owning a proper makeup set (plus makeup box) to get this.

Maybelline 


added another new spokesperson to their long list of beautiful women. 

Shu-Pei Qin 

Since her catwalk debut in September 2007, Shu-Pei has become a fixture on fashion’s most exclusive runways. She has walked for top designers including Prada, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton.


Her favorite Maybelline product? 
The Volume Express Cat Eyes Hyper Curl. 

Speaking of which, I've tried and found it to be absolutely awesome in terms of application ease and lengthening effects. BUT. Smudges easily and badly. And comes with a completely eye-soring Hello Kitty! packaging. Ugh. 


I did also finally try the latest Magnum Volum Express. Its alright. It does the job of lengthening and volumising, but not extremely wow. The fat brush is also difficult to maneuver. BUT. Its totally smudge proof. For Maybelline, that's quite a feat.

L'Oreal 


Tried and tested their Renewal Lash Serum to almost the last drop. Found that it worked for me in the first few weeks and did grow my lashes a couple of mm's longer, but didn't grow any thicker for me. 

Others who have tried it have all shown varying results, but in conclusion, for less than RM50, its worth getting, even if to condition your lashes daily from usage of mascara. 




You've probably seen the Aishwarya Rai L'Oreal Total 5 Repair hair commercial where she stomps into the picture deliberately swinging her hair from left to right in conjunction with her butt movements. 

Its actually not too bad. Soft and smooth results. 
Except that I don't really advocate using organic or non-saloon professional hair products. 


If you're not as picky and find drugstore hair care to work well for you, you might wanna try this range the next time you visit Watsons/ Guardian/ Caring.
