de Luxe Cleansing Cream, Have you heard about this product?

Hi guys!

Have you heard about the de Luxe Cleansing Cream?

Well, if not, I will introduce this product to you now.

 I'd been using de Luxe for many years, actually, six years to be exact so I must say I really do love this product..

This product costs only ￥800 and you can find it in any drugstore or grocery store here in Japan.

HOW TO USE:

Apply the cream all over your face and lightly massage with your fingers.

Wipe off with tissue and wash your face with your preferred facial wash

See the makeup I got? Yikes!

What does Deluxe Cleansing Cream says:

provides deep and thorough cleansing to remove surface dirt, excess sebum and makeup, including waterproof and long-lasting eye makeup

Did I meet what the product claims?:

Yes I did .

Very affordable but really do the works. And the most special thing is it doesn't give me any breakouts.

I have sensitive skin but this product works with me.

Pearly Eyes

This makeup is inspired by Koda Kumi's "Driving Hits 4" album cover.

I had so much fun doing this look.

I made some makeup experiments and the pearls

turned to overpower my eyes.

So I decided to call this look "Pearly Eyes".

What do you think?

Here are some photos of the results.

enjoy =)

False Eyelashes From Daiso

HikariHajimari's Top 5 Favorite Daiso False Eyelashes

My top 5 great Daiso false eyelashes picks

I already tried them all and this is my second time purchasing them

so I can assure you

 that they are high quality false eyelashes.

The first four eyelashes are wearable in everyday basis

because each lashes has transparent line

and thin lash strands.

just to add some volume to your natural lashes, I recommend this one.

This is the one I used in my Pearly Eyes post

This lower eyelashes below are good for dolly eye makeup and gyaru look.



This is the one I used in my Pearly Eyes post

Sigma Dare Eyeshadow Palette Review

I have the three Sigma eyeshadow palettes -- Dare, Bare and Flare.

But when it comes to product reviews,  I want to use the product a couple of times first before I post my review about it.

Dare is the one I already tested and now I am ready to give my review about this product.

Let's go to the product intro first.

This eyeshadow palette comes in a rectangular cardboard case with magnetic closures and rectangular eyeshadows.  The box is slim so it is easy to travel with.

it also comes with a dual ended brush  ( E20/E45 )

Now for the eyeshadow colors.

I had read and watched so many reviews with the colors of this palette.  Most of them said that the colors are not their type or not wearable for everyday use.  But for me, to tell you the truth, I loooove them sooo much!  My favorite shade is grasp and surrender.  I do think that this palette would be perfect for spring or during summer season. 

The shadows are pretty pigmented and easy to blend but it doesn't last for a long time if applied without an eye primer.

I also did a video tutorial of the sexy spring makeup using this palette. Please check it out  here .

Sigma Eyeshadow Palettes -- Shipping Review

There were also some other stuffs in my cart when I go to checkout on Sigma Beauty Online Store  but when I checked the shipping fee, it was a bit pricey for me so I just sticked with the eyeshadow palettes and chose the lowest rate I could have.   I thought it would take about two weeks but I was surprised when it arrived to my doorstep for just a week of time.

                                       here is a picture of the packaging

                                                                  .

and when I opened the eyeshadow palettes...

All the palettes are well wrapped and the eyeshadow are in good shapes when I opened them except for the Bare palette that I saw some  loose eyeshadow fall outs that made  it looks a bit dirty.

Other than that I have nothing to complain.

Palty Bleach in Natural Brown Review

Spring is coming so I wanted to change my hair color from dark to a lighter one. 

So when we went to our favorite drugstore near us,  I tried to pick the hair color that I thought will suit me best.

I had my eyes on Palty brand.  There's bleach and hair dyes.  I chose to try the bleach one in natural brown.  The price is 590円.　 I picked 2 because I have long thick hair.

Oh my! I am so inlove with the color.  It was like love at first sight! LOL!

I haven't had difficulties in applying it to my hair because of the comb tube that comes with it.

Ok, so I applied and leave it for 45 minutes. 

After that I washed my hair and used the treatment shampoo that comes with it.

And Oh Dear!  I love love love the result!

Actually I expected my hair to become dry and damaged after applying it  because well,  it is a bleach. 

But it did not gradually damaged my hair as I expected.   

My hair is still as soft as before.

And the color! The color! Oh my! I love it! And my husband love it!  I even had so many good compliments from my friends.

Wanna see the result? Well here it is....
