Blog #33: Laneige x Playnomore Jet Curling Mascara Review

This is the first time I tried using a mascara with short bristles and the result shocked me.





The Jet Curling Mascara is part of the PLAYNOMORE SHYGIRL VIP kit sent to bloggers and media. 





I was skeptic when I first opened the tube. It has short bristles which I'm not used to. 





Hmm... how will it fair on my lashes?




It wasn't what I expected. I was thinking since the bristles are short, it won't be able to curl my lashes that much but surprise, surprise! Hello, long lashes!



This is coming from a girl with broken lashes. My natural lashes tend to be short from improper removal of mascara so seeing my lashes this lush made me so happy!



Love that it was easy to separate my lashes although some still stubbornly attach to each other. :( 



And the height! Can you just see how high my lashes are curled???



SCENT: It has the normal mascara scent but not painful on the nose

TEXTURE: Liquidy; not at all sticky (probably because it's new)

COLOR: Jet Black

WATERPROOF: Yes. I didn't encounter any smudge while wearing it. Also pretty long lasting. Hard to remove using facial cleanser though. I recommend to use cleansing cream or oil to remove the mascara thoroughly.

CLAIM TO FAME: Mascara with Air Gel Formula gives perfect curls to short, weak eyelashes. It is waterproof-based, allowing it to last long without smudging.




OVER-ALL THOUGHTS: I agree that it works wonders on short lashes having one myself. I also recommend this to mascara virgins since it's pretty easy to apply and dries fast. I mostly love it for the naturally-curled lashes it gives off, as if I just used a super amazing eyelash curler and I don't need an eyeliner to open up my eyes. :)


RATING: 4.8 / 5

Blog #32: Laneige X Playnomore Intense Lip Gel (Coral Souffle)


I admit it, I'm a sucker for lippies. Lipstick, lipgloss, liptint, lipbalm... I want them all. So when Laneige sent over their Playnomore Shy Darling VIP kit, my eyes gravitated towards their lipgel.






Oh gosh. I can't take my eyes off of them. That awesome Playnomore package and the translucent bottom that lets you get a sneak peak on what shade you're gonna get.





I received two Intense Lip Gels and I'll first review shade #5 Coral Souffle.






Color: Reddish-orange

Scent: Has a citrus scent, like oranges which I really liked





Texture: Not as sticky as other lipgloss. Goes on very smooth





I was surprised at how vivid this lipgel is that even after I roughly tissue off the product from my hand, there's still a hint of it.





Here's my attempt at actual application of the lipgel. Please don't be distracted by the wide forehead. haha





Application: Such a breeze! This is probably the ultimate reason I enjoyed using this lipgel. My issue with other lipgloss is that I need to re-apply in order to get the right shade but this one has such an intense color that I only needed a few swipes to achieve the look that I wanted!







Final Verdict: 4.9!!! This is officially my favorite lipgloss! One advice though, apply BB Cream or Cushion Foundation all over lips first before applying the gel to get a vivid shade.
