Maybelline's Unstoppable Curly Extension Mascara Review

Here's something that's been lying in my makeup bag for a while now.

Got this from Watson about a year ago, so I don't remember how much is it but this shouldn't cost you more than RM35.

It actually has a really strong staying power and it's waterproof too.  Plus, it's not too flashy and casual.

If you're looking to have more drama in your eyes, this may not be for you.

Unlike some other Maybelline mascara, it isn't too heavy for your lashes. I've heard my friends complaining about one of Maybelline's mascara, I forgot which one, that actually cause your natural lashes to fall off *eeek!!*

I actually love how it can accentuate the bottom lashes really well.

On the down side, applying too much of this mascara actually makes the lashes a little too messy-looking, especially for the bottom lashes. I'd probably opt for matsuge, that's Japanese for falsies, if I want a more obvious bottom lashes and a 'clean' look for my eyes.

SexyGirl Perfect Cut UV (SPF 50) Review

Finally! A review for my SexyGirl hauls! I've bought these two items. The first one is SexyGirl Perfect Cut UV Spray in SPF 50+ at RM27!




Perfect Cut Spray in Candy Berry scent~!

Aren't the packaging cute? It's so pink ♥

I haven't heard of this brand before until I spotted it going up for sale on HiShop and decided to give it a try. Been hunting for a good sunblock for a while now. I've got like 2 others in my room but my Eucerin has expired and I left it lying around in my room.

The Eucerin's White Solution Whitening Body Lotion isn't exactly a sunblock but previously I was just looking for some body lotion to repair my skin and treated it as a sunblock. But I realized SPF7 wasn't enough to protect my skin during the day and only use it at night.



Watson's & Eucerin sunblock~
Previously I even had Banana Boat sunblock, but I don't like the fragrance so I gave it away. After that, I got myself Watson's Ultra Protection Body Spray. I got this because I wanted to try spray-on sunblock when they were still new in the market and Watson's brand was one of the cheapest available(I'm that cheapskate!).




Watson's brand sunblock with SPF 50


While it does serve its purpose, it makes my skin looks oily since it doesn't absorb well into the skin. So I don't like wearing it to classes or I'll end up looking like a contestant in a body builder competition(they oil their body to make it look shiny!)

(,=A=,)

Now, I'm only using it when I go for a swim(it's waterproof!) or jog.




here's to illustrate how greasy it is...


Anyway, back to my new Sexy Girl aerosol-spray,  so there's 2 options of Perfect Cut spray fragrance_Candy Berry and Happy Peach. I got mine in Candy Berry and I love the scent! It's sweet and while it can appear strong when spraying, it leaves a really subtle but noticeable scent.

Nozzle dispersing ultra-fine mist in all direction

This spray disperse an airy sort of feel unlike the Watson's more 'solid' spray.

And this is how it looks like sprayed 10-20cm_as the instruction indicated_ away from my hand~!



A very light, almost not visible texture


Here's what I think about the SexyGirl spray-on sunscreen after trying it out for a couple of days


The plus side of this sunblock:


♥ contains hyaluronic acid, which is a commonly found ingredient for skin hydration

♥ it's light and absorbs really quickly!

♥ doesn't give out a shiny appearance

♥ pleasant, not so overpowering sweet berry scent

♥ not too bulky or heavy to fit into handbag

♥ waterproof


The flaws :


♦ claims that scent can last up to 6 hours, but the scent wears off after 3 hours or less

♦ because of the not so 'solid' dispersion of the mist, I'm worried the coverage may be a little uneven but I can't tell yet in this short duration of usage

♦ expensive for a small can

♦ I can't tell if it's still there! Not sure if it's really a bad or good thing but I'd spray again every 2-3 hour and put on a thicker coating if I'm outdoor for long hours


Besides this aerosol sunscreen, SexyGirl also has other range of products for face, hair and body care~ You can find SexyGirl products in Malaysia at SaSa outlets and even get it online, free shipping from Zalora! ,(^v^,)
