EOTD - KATE Deep Eyes PU-1

Finally, a long weekend! It's Good Friday, have blessed one, everyone! I had some time to do my eye make up before going out today and thought of using the KATE Deep Eyes palette that I found in my stash.

It is basically a pink-purple palette.

Swatches

Sorry the swatches are too light. I'll try to swatch it again and update with a better photo.

Thanks for dropping by!

Review of Fairy Drops & Maybelline Volume Express

Happy Belated Halloween!

Sorry a day late to wish you all. Anyway, hope you all had an enjoyable night last night. As for me, i have been bitten by the flu bug. So, had to stay at home to nurse my flu away. Seems like i am always falling sick lately.

Moving on to something i did today, had time on my hands and utilized it to do a review of Fairy Drops against Maybelline Volume Express.

Fairy Drops on the left and Maybelline VE on the right. (I just found out that FD is under Mandom)

The unique wand (this reminds me about Rimmel's mascara)

I don't use any primer or curler before applying the mascara. Here are the results:

As you can see, FD doesn't really lengthen the lashes as much as VE.



Side View
Both don't really curl the lashes too. However, if used with curler, it should give a good result.


Top View

VE is so obviously longer than FD.


Front view

With this review done, i can definitely say that Maybelline Volume Express gives good volume and lengthening effects. FD is not that clumpy as compared to VE. This can always be solved with a lash comb. Both are are not that easy to remove maybe because of my lousy eye makeup remover (from Missha). Anyone can recommend a good one to me?

All in all, i love both mascaras eventhough FD fall short of my expectation. I still like it because of the pink packaging. Haha! I've been using VE for a while now and am loving it. I do have other mascaras like Lancome, Sasa and Rimmel which i don't find as good as VE. I have a new one from Body Shop which i have yet to open. It's blue! Shall do a review on it some day. Hope you guys find this review helpful.

Update: I just saw the tube of VE, it states 'Hypercurl' but it didn't really curled my lashes that well.
