Instant Eyelash Extensions! Jealousness Magic Lash Lengthening Mascara Set Review

Some of you may remember the Jealousness Magic Lash Lengthening Mascara Set that I received from my iMomoko package last month. I promised you a review and I finally have something for you: a full demonstration of the instant lash extension effect from the mascara. (I will also be reviewing the other makeup items, but I feel that they may be overshadowed by this lovely Jealousness mascara!)

The Jealousness mascara set comes with two tubes. One is a waterproof mascara in black and the other tube contains white fibers to extend your lashes. You are supposed to apply this set in a three-step process (after curling lashes, of course). Keep reading to see how I apply these!

Below is my bare lashes before any makeup; essentially the "before" picture.

What's in my iMomoko makeup and skincare bag?

iMomoko sent me a lovely package last week that I've been wanting to share with you. (I would have shared sooner bu my camera has been misbehaving.) I have a soft spot for Asian makeup and skincare products. They're less accessible to me thus I always crave for them. I am familiar with any popular Western product, but Asian products still mystify me. I think the hope is that perhaps one day I will stumble upon a miracle Asian skincare item that will transform me.

Karuna Brightening Treatment Mask, Euro 2012 Final

I am watching the Euro 2012 final between Spain and Italy right now and I am super excited! (Though I am fairly certain Spain will win.) Watching ESPN happily while lying on my coach with laptop by my side, I pamper myself with the Karuna Brightening Treatment Mask. That's my perfect Sunday.

Karuna Brightening Treatment Mask 

The Karuna Brightening Treatment Mask is by far the best cloth mask that I've ever tried (and I've reviewed quite a few cloth masks on this blog). The cloth is thin and adheres to the face very well. It holds more serum and liquid than most masks despite it's sheerness. Apparently the fiber cloth is a special, all-natural fiber that retains 50% more moisture than its synthetic counterpart, allowing pores to fully dilate and drink in the beneficial ingredients. I started this mask shortly after the Euro Final began. I just watched Spain score their 4th goal against Italy and this mask is still moist and cool! That's at least over an hour of intense moisture. 

Karuna Mask is thin and light but packed full of serum!

Kameria Baby Face Moisturizing Mask and Whitening Mask ($2.50)

I will only review the moisturizing mask as I have not tried the other one. I do not believe in whitening masks and even if I did, I probably won't be able to see a difference with only one mask. I am asking my mother to test the whitening mask and I will try to update you.

Review Summary: Kameria Baby Face Moisturizing Mask

Product: It feels cool on the face and smells amazing. 4.5/5

Effectiveness: Definitely moisturizing, but nothing extra. 4/5

Packaging: Very pretty packaging and easy to open. 5/5

Value: Standard price for facial masks, but you can get similar ones for a little less. 4/5

Overall: Good moisturizing and revitalizing mask. A-

Kameria Pure Milk Whitening Cleansing Oil (30 mL)

You guys know I avoid whitening products, but I really dig this cleansing oil. It removes makeup without being greasy or drying. I know a lot of of people (like my mother) love whitening products so it is probably a high selling point. When in contact with water, this cleansing oil becomes something like a cleansing milk.

Review Summary: Kameria Whitening Milk Cleansing Oil

Product: It smells good and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. 4.5/5

Effectiveness: It cleans makeup fairly well, but not spotlessly clean. I'm unsure of the whitening effects. 4/5

Packaging: Love the packaging! Once uncapped, there is a plastic applicator to prevent spillage. 5/5

Value: A 100 mL bottle is just $15 and a little goes a long way. 5/5

Overall: Cleans makeup well, leaves skin refreshed and non-greasy. A

I am so glad I had the chance to try out the Kameria brand courtesy of iMomoko. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I somehow used up my plethora of facial masks a while back. I am going to purchase a few different ones from Imomoko and let you know which ones are my favorite.

If you have never shopped at iMomoko, I recommend you explore their website. iMomoko ships internationally and stocks a lot of Asian skincare and cosmetics products that you will not be able to find in America or Europe. They stock many Japanese and Korean skincare products and even Taiwanese brands like My Beauty Diary. My one complaint with their website is that there does not seem to be an option to view more than 18 items per page. The selection is vast so I want to browse through more quickly.

Before I go on my crazy shopping spree and empty my wallet, let me know if there are any products/brands that I should check out. I will duly explore and report back.

Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream Review and Swatch

If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I have been looking into BB (Blemish Balm) creams lately. I've avoided them until now, fearful that they're only over-glorified tinted moisturizers. A few days ago I decided to buy a sample of Lioele Beyond the Solution from Pretty & Cute for $5.00. I used coupon lovelioele for 10% off plus $2.14 shipping which gave me a grand total $6.64. It shipped almost immediately and I got the parcel within two days of buying!

It turns out that the tube is really small! I would have bought the 30 mL bottle, which was 6 times larger for only double the price... I didn't buy it because I didn't want to get stuck with something I might hate or worse - was allergic to. I regret my decision now because my skin rather likes this cream.

The packaging is adorable - but there was barely anything in this little fella.

Luckily, freebies came with purchase! Super BB Cream sample and False Lashes.
