review: dramatical eyes mascara

happy new year everyone! i hope y'all had a safe and happy time ringing in 2009!! time sure does fly by fast!

so anyways, i was in hong kong for christmas, and while in sasa something caught my eyes, it's this mascara called "dramatical eyes" it's a japanese brand, so everything was in japanese, the tube was soo adorable i couldn't resist buying it. i bought a base and a lengthening one=)

i tried it today and i have to say that it works okay. not amazing, but okay. i got it for HK$80 (around US$9) so the price wasn't too bad. this is the first time i used a primer before mascara and i have to say, i'm not sure i can tell the difference if i used one or not. it seems like an unnecessary step to me and i honestly could get the same result with covergirl's lashblast or my loreal telescopic mascara.

i guess you could say i picked up this item solely for it's packaging =)OH WELL =)





ps. sorry for the wanky photoshop, i use mac's seashore and it's so difficult to use!!

review: covergirl lash blast

PROS
- seperates lashes
- makes them long and thick
- the orange tube is really pretty
- darkens my lashes without the clumps
- doesn't flake off

CONS
- the wand is unnecessarily thick. this makes application to my wimpy lashes really hard!especially around the inner corners
- because of the fat wand thus fat handle- it's kinda awkward to hold




fat bristles!


sparse eyelashes =(


thick, long lashes..NO CLUMPS!


i'll probably purchase this product again..shouldn't be touted as highly as some people did, but it's not bad. better than my MAYBELLINE UNSTOPPABLE mascara
