Falsies: Basic Touch or Fantasy Splurge?

A choice between going for a safer route on Basic Lashes or for making a splash with Fantasy Lashes for this Saturday’s Red Light Party.
With many options available for them false eyelashes over at Shu Uemura, I’ve found myself in a bind. How to choose. Which to pick. Decisions, decisions. Ah, the vanities of life. […]

Pretty-fy ‘Em Lashes

The lady behind Beauty Bento Box (me, me, me!) is actually planning to do just that.
Come Saturday, I’m planning to turn this oh-so-ordinary-looking Asian lashes into something that can stop traffic. Okay. That’s probably overstating it but I do plan to do up the lashes part and, hopefully, apply amazing eye makeup which will […]

Eastern Experiments: Gel Liner Addiction

Earlier, Sophie and I were having a chat on makeup. She was advocating the importance of effective and efficient coverage, benefits of mineral makeup, tips on how to use minerals, picking the right sort of foundation when I blurted out that I’m addicted to gel liners, particularly my MAC Fluidline. She agrees that it’s one […]

TFS Eye Shadow, Black Label & Color Nuance

When it comes to eye makeup, I’ve always preferred shimmer. I reckon I’ve been putting on eye makeup since 2000 — yea, a bit of a late bloomer this Sasha, hehe — and I’ve always loved shimmer. I have to admit that I’m more inclined to a very safe style, usually the more natural it […]

The MAC fafi Makeover

A pretty bold move for a MAC n00b like myself to be sporting such lovely, lovely eye makeup. But I had to find out how MAC fafi eyes would look on me. My face lit up like a light bulb when the idea came to me. I ought to let a MAC makeup artist do […]

My New MAC Loot

Now that the adrenaline’s all gone, I’m spent. Yesterday was exhausting. Sometimes, good things come in bulk. Probably explains why I failed to work properly last night.
One of the things that made my day was a trip to MAC in Glorietta. More on that later. Hehe.
Even when hanging out with the MAC Makeup Artists […]

Beauty Bento Box Events Calendar

Friends told me that I was invited to go to this Lipton Milk Tea event scheduled on a Friday afternoon at The Body Shop branch in Glorietta. But interestingly, I didn’t get a formal invite. Tis okay. I’m still going. It’s a great opportunity to see my friends (can’t wait to see you, Sophie!).

Besides, Phoebe […]

Beauty Review: Volume Mascara, Sephora

Sephora
Volume Mascara
When I said that I needed a new mascara, I was serious. That’s why I grabbed the opportunity of reviewing the Volume Mascara from Sephora when Sophie offered it. But the thing is I didn’t really know what I had needed in one or if this mascara suited my lashes or if I would […]
