Before and After + Maybelline's Curl Power

I was inspired by Suet Li's post on the super dramatic examples of Before and After makeup and photoshopped photos.

Oh, btw, these are my tools.


So *takes a very deep breath* ..... here I am, giving my most 'just woke up', non-makeup picture.

Don't die yet people.

Before:

wei! just woke up mar....



3 years ago, fooling with His degreeless specs.


4 years ago, dark skinny me in Ikea. god, I miss my straight hair!!!!!!!! don't think I was using any makeup then....



After:

with MAX Factor's latest Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation in Gold.
It was a free sample, btw.
Kinda good as it covers everything from dark circles, to imperfection tone, to scars and flushing red cheeks in the morning.



With gel eyeliner and Maybelline's Curl Power, Length + Volume which I got it yesterday for 4.99GBP!!!!! while Superdrug and Boots are selling it at 8.99GBP.

=D


With false lashes, without flash.



With falsies and with sikit Picassa adjustment on focus and lightning.



Me with glasses. No adjustment on pic.




Ok. Product review on Maybelline's Curl Power, Length + Volume:






Maybelline's



Rimmel's

Not much of a difference from the photos I have to say.

But from my hands on experience with Maybelline's Curl Power, it really does give the POWAR!!!!

Despite of it's super huge brush, I have no problems applying it on my super short lashes at all!
=D
I didn't even even brush my lid by accident on the every first time application!
(which I did on Rimmel's comb)
=D

I think it's the curve of the brush which did the magic for not brushing my lids.
Damn easy to use!




Well, it curls much better than Rimmel's, I have to say. At least I don't need to wait for Rimmel's to dry and to curl them again.

Plus, I love the soft creamy formula which doesn't smudge and dries quickly, and the purple packaging!

Make-up is one of those great joy that we girls enjoy =) It doesn't take much to make all the difference!

I swear by L'Oreal's Volume Shocking mascara. Makes my eye lashes look like false lashes. It took me some getting used to cos my lashes were like an umbrella, shielding my eyes from the sun....

hi otto!!

yup! definitely! makeup is like playing with Barbie when we're young.

I'll give L'oreal a try when I've got a new excuse of buying it. =) thanks for the recommendation!
