Clear Mascara Anyone? The Face Shop's All About Mascara in 02 Clear

Eye makeup is never complete without mascara. However, there are just lazy days when putting on eye makeup is such a drag. Well, of course you can still put mascara on if you like. Why not right? As for me, I'm not too keen on putting on super black mascara during normal days as I might look too parteh parteh, if you know what I mean. 

I was looking for a clear mascara to wear for everyday in the office. I never thought that The Face Shop had this product all along. I guess I never really looked closely. This mascara is priced at P895 here in regular Face Shop stores. It's just that I bought this product at a bazaar last Christmas. A Korean lady was selling authentic Korean cosmetics at a cheaper price so I was able to buy this at P260. 

I simply love the packaging as it's housed in a shimmery cream tube. Ain't it pretty?

All About Mascara in 02 Clear is now my everyday go-to mascara. It has a gel-like texture and it really makes my lashes longer. After I put on this mascara, I just use an eyelash curler, and this helps hold my lashes upwards. I have observed however that it doesn't really do much to make my lashes look thicker. I've been using this for about 2 months now, and the product still hasn't dried up.

This product is just love love love! I will surely repurchase when I run out!

Would you love to try clear mascaras too, or do you prefer the normal black mascaras?

Talika Lipocils Expert Lash Conditioner

Have you ever wanted longer eyelashes? If yes, then I have the perfect product for you to try. It's the Talika Lipocils.

My friends have been telling me about this product ever since before, and they really vouch for its effectivity. Too bad, we do not have it here in the Philippines and it needs to be bought in Hong Kong or other countries that carry it. Luckily, my cousin went to Hong Kong last August 2013 and I asked her to buy it for me in Sasa.

It costs HKD150 approximately P850 if you convert it. The box contains two small tubes of Lipocils and 1 tube is just 2ml. You may think that it's so expensive for a small amount of product but 1 tube is already good for 1 whole month. I used up my 2 tubes in 2 months (September-October). The product I got only contained a wand tip for application. The more expensive ones would contain both a wand tip and mascara wand for a much easier and more effective application (see photo below).

I can conclude that this product really is effective. After a few weeks of using, I could already observe that my lashes were getting longer. After two months, I can say that my lashes really became longer. I decided to check if my lashes would go back to its original length after I stopped using the product for a few months. The result is no, it still stayed as long.

Here are pictures of my lashes before and after I used the product. (Photos were taken in different lighting conditions hence the difference in skin color.)

You can see in the pictures that my lashes really grew longer. I'm really happy about the effect because I do not need to use mascara anymore except during special occasions. I normally just use a clear mascara during regular days.

Just a tip to maximize the product, use a toothpick to scoop out the remaining products inside the tube as the wand tip cannot reach every part inside the tube.

Have you been wanting long eyelashes for the longest time? Maybe this product is the answer to your problem. Hope this post helped!
