Maybelline Unstoppable vs NYX Doll Eye Mascara

This might not be a pretty even comparison between the 2 since Doll Eye got fibers on it. But the Doll Eye Mascara is what im currently using now,so i decided to do a review on it too on a single post. & anyway, based on the description of Unstoppable, it lengthens up to 50% so i guess in a way its ok.

Unstoppable is the first mascara that i've tried among the 3 that i got. I just choose one randomly. XD

Ok, based on MUA, just 49% of the total people who have used it will most likely buy this. Which means that it got different effects on everybody. As what i said before, mascara is one product that i consider as a hit or miss. Its either you love it or you don't. I'll tell you if i like this or not later on.

While on the other hand, Nyx Doll Eye Mascara have a good rating on MUA. Among the 97 ladies who have tried it, 85% will most likely buy this again. Hmmmm.....pretty high,right? Looks like promising,huh? It got fibers on it so it really will help lengthen the lashes.Judging on the wands, the Unstoppable is pretty much like how any normal, ordinary mascara is. Whereas the Doll Eye's wand shape is a little bit curved. It's thinner at the middle, whereas to ordinary mascara it would be fatter at the middle.Now that we get that over with,let's go to the formula.

So,let's start the show...just click the image for larger view


These are my bare eyes, Actually i already curled it, but since i have such short lashes so you wouldn't even know if its curled or not XD . I have uneven eyes. One is double lidded & the other is almost a monolid. Which makes it a bit hard for me to do my eye makeup. I was thinking of using eyelid tape/glue to even it out but i always forgot to. Anyhow, im still able to do make up look so it doesn't matter. ill just do that if i have the time. But for this picture, for some reason i have even eyes..yay!

Anyway, on with the show....

First Coat:
ill just provide one pic of the first coat since i myself didn't notice any big difference at all except that with NYX, my lashes was longer (because of the fiber too i guess).


Second coat:


Im not yet done...i actually did a 3rd coat:


You be the judge of it. I'll let you decide which one is better.

In terms of removing it. Both are pretty easy to remove, I just need one cotton pad for each eye. No need to rub hard since its not a waterproof mascara...

What's good about them is that both doesn't smudge, but they flake a bit. Unstoppable already had flaked after a couple of minutes, whereas Doll Eye just flaked after a couple of hours...that is after i played badminton. Yes, i played badminton with mascara on. I put it on a test. & im quite happy that they didn't smudge. So, yay for that!

Since im leaving the last say to you, let me hear it on the comments,ladies!

2nd Make up Mix Shop haul - Ecotools

Its Package day for me today...its the one i ordered from Makeup Mix Shop...i highly recommend that shop..

Moving on...here it is: ...fresh from the package....

And of course, we wanna see what's inside...
Mostly Ecotools... The moment that i read Nikki's blog about it, i knew that i have to have it...so i put on my order because im afraid ill ran out of it..lol..

All in all, i got the:
-Ecotools 5 piece brush set
-Ecotools 6 piece brush set
-Ecotools foundation brush (this is what im looking forward to the most)
-Avon Shimmering Powder (i believe we dont have it here)
-plus some freebies too! Miss Toma sure is very generous!

Since the total amount of my order is above $30 so i was able to have another NYX Megashine Lip Gloss in Nude...then i used the code PRETTY NIKKI (im sure Nikki will have a kick out of this one...but im serious!!! XD), i was able to get the sample jar of Tanushree eyeshadow...then she included a sample bag of the Aishwarya blush plus i also got a coupon!...wow..isn't that such a great giveaway...?
That's why you have to shop there...!!!

Ok, on with the brushes...first one on the row is the 6pc brush set, then the foundation brush & the 5 pc set...

I like how earth-themed the package is...considering that it really is an earth-friendly product...so yay for that!

Nikki already gave an in-depth review of the 5pc brush set...click here to read it. So, ill skip that one...

As what i said, the foundation brush is what im looking forward to the most... mainly because of all the brushes that they have this is said to be really good..though i think all the brushes are good, but the foundation brush got the most positive remarks...Upon opening it, I saw a coupon inside...though i dont think i will be able to use it... It says "Save 50cents on ANY Ecotools product"...

I haven't used the brush of course, but i like how soft but firm it is.
I like brushes that are firm (but still soft) because i am able to control it unlike with super soft brushes..I think this is a very promising brush...though i dont use liquid foundations that much, but if i do, i guess that this will be perfect for the job.Look at how it forms in a perfect curve...it means that its resilient so applying foundation will be easy since you have the total control of it...I'll just have to test it first to see if my impressions stand true...

Then on with the 6pc piece brush set:
I got another coupon again....I need to test all of it first to know if its good or not... Especially on the shedding part...I'll get back to it as soon as i have tested everything out.

Although if you're going to ask my initial opinion, i think its a great set...except for the Lash & Brow Groomer...It's just that for the groomer, the brow bristles seems a little too rough to the touch..

I got one question though... Why are the brush pockets outside?I mean look at it.... Aren't cosmetic brush rolls supposed to protect the brushes inside them from dirt & whatever?...So, how the heck will this do its job?See the inside of the brush roll?...its empty...no pockets whatsoever...i can't just put the brushes inside without anything holding it because it will just eventually fall off.I can't just roll it the other way around because the crease of the roll points that it should be like how it was. If i do, then it would just form a budge & ill end up ruining the form.. *sigh*

Then on with the pigment samples...

The last time i did a swatch of it on my skin, i end up ruining the color of the red pigment...so to avoid it, i just put it on a piece of white paper...so that you'll get to see it.

Tanushree is a baby pink eyeshadow sheen that is so pretty...i think it can even be used as a blush & even on the lips...how cool is that?...i love this one...
Aishwarya is more of like a taupe-y brown blush...on which i guess its more of a bronzer...

Well, that's all there is....

Hope you'll all have a great day,lovelies!
^_^

PS:
if you notice my nails, i dont have anything on right now because i wanted my nails to take some time off from too much nail polish...
I just brought 2 artist brushes that i think i could use for nail arts...but i have to experiment first...
I'll put an update if im able to use them for my nails...

My Makeup Mix haul!

Yatta!

I picked up my Makeup Mix shop haul today at the post office.


& of course, the best part of receiving a package is opening it! As soon as i opened it, i was actually surprised to find out that it's mostly consists of NYX items....hehe...as what i said before, i forgot what i ordered & i don't want to check the confirmation mail on my inbox because i want it to be a surprise....& surprised i was!

Anyhow, this is the contents of the package:
-NYX Doll Eye Mascara : Long Lash
-NYX Concealer in a jar : Beige
-NYX Jumbo Pencil : Milk (i've been wanting this one for so long!)
-NYX Fruit Lip Gloss : Strawberry
-NYX Round Lipstick : Femme
-NYX Round Lipstick : Thalia
-L.A. COLORS Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer : White
-AVON Haiku Parfum Spray



What's great about it is that I got some freebies!
Isn't the owner just so uber nice?! (i think her name is Toma, i think i read it on Nikki's blog) & she even wrote a handwritten thank you message on it....Im touched...

The one on that cute silver pouch is a NYX Megashine Lip Gloss in Burgundy & a sample jar of Makeup Masala Minerals in Priya... & that's not all... just looking at the pic..you will see that i got another one...
look....
did you see it?...
can you identify what it is?....
no?....
ok...ill give you a close up look...


See that.... I got 3!!!
(oh & also the handwritten 'thank you' message...due to some circumstances, i have to erase my real name...sorry about that...but isn't that just so sweet!it got a personal touch!)
She even included a sample baggie of Vishesh pigment...doesn't that color just look great? The pigments are great! Here is a swatch of the 2 that i got:

I dunno what happened to my camera, but Vishesh is actually a plum-like red shimmer... & its really gorgeous! Priya on the other hand is like a light beige sheen.

As for the other stuff, I don't think i'll be using the Dolleye Mascara yet since i still have a few mascaras with me. Ill just keep that for now. Im not a lipstick person so for the round lipsticks ill be trying it out if i have the chance to go out.

The Haiku perfume, i included it because i can still remember the time that Avon released it that i liked it. Although i did not buy it at that time, but i remember that i wanted to buy it before but for some reason i didn't. Based on Makeup Alley, most people find it good, so i might as well just try it out for myself.

For the next few days Im gonna have my hands full trying out the products that i have..This will keep me occupied since I'll be taking this whole month off from work. I wanted to be able to relax for some time, since i can't even remember taking a vacation from work for the past couple of years.....

I lost my job because of the economic crisis...& i felt before that it was the end of the world...lol!...but now im thinking that it's not exactly that bad...

I got a job...actually the companies that i applied for accepted me & now im having a tough time deciding what company i will choose...

& now i can take a vacation..isn't that just great...?!

Life just works in ways that we can't understand..
its just up to us how we are going to make the most out of it...

Ok,back to my haul....
ill do a couple of reviews as soon as i have tried & tested most of them....
so,until the next time,ladies!

Have a great day & always smile!
