Dejavu Lasting-Fine Eyeliner review






So I got a tester of this product a while back, and I decided to try it out. There are three versions to this eyeliner, Deep Black (black tube), Real Black (red tube) and Dark Brown (brown tube). Normally the retail size comes in a sleek tube, but mine is a mini black tube. I received the Deep Black version to try out. It's actually more convenient to bring out, cause it takes so little space in my makeup pouch, but it is a little harder to hold compared to the retail-size version.

This is a pencil eyeliner (in case you're unsure, there are two types of eyeliners: pencil and liquid). It comes in black, and I like that the colour comes out quite dark, as opposed to some eyeliners that are light, so I have to put on a few coats before it looks nice.

It was fairly smooth to use but it did tug at my eyelids a little (total no-no since the eyelid area is sensitive and
thin). I think the eyeliner is a little on the hard side, if it was softer it would probably have worked better. Perhaps they might come out with an improved formula next time.

It lasts the whole day without smudging, which is a definite plus point. Because my double eyelid is positioned close to the top of my eyes, a lot of eye makeup tends to smudge around that area (compounded by the fact that I have oily eyelids). So the fact that this eyeliner doesn't smudge makes me very happy.

I especially like how you can twist back the eyeliner if you've twisted it out too far. There are some products that don't allow you to push back the product into the container, like those concealers or foundations in a stick. Don't you find those terribly annoying?

As a pencil eyeliner this is really good. I mostly use liquid eyeliners for their precision, but I would consider buying this despite the price.


This is what the other two versions look like, in case you're wondering.

*Dejavu Lasting-Fine Eyeliner retails at $19.90 in Watsons and other departmental stores.

Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour 499 Dark Cherry review

TDLR Review:  I would not recommend this hair colour product at all, because the shade turned out nothing like the box. Also it is difficult to wash off.  NOTE: I have dark Asian hair, which might be the reason why it's not suitable for this product. So I'm back with another hair dye review! I've raved about the Liese hair dyes before ( Cassis Berry , Sweet Apricot , Antique Rose ), because those are super easy to use (I've appreciated that even more after finding out how difficult some at-home hair dye kits can be to apply). But I got suckered into getting a box of Schwarzkopf Ultimate Colour hair dye, because the models on Schwarzkopf hair dye boxes always have gorgeous shades of hair! I've used Schwarzkopf before, I've bought the Palette in Magical Blue Black (no review, only a haul). But I was disappointed with it, because there was only a faint sheen of blue, and the black faded from my hair quite quickly. The trouble with Schwarzkopf also is

Intro Post

Despite the name, this blog is not about carousels or couture (although you never know, that might change?). Nobody likes to spend money on something, only to discover that it does not deliver what it has promised. I sure don't. So I start this blog with the hopes that perhaps it'll help someone find their holy grail. And maybe, I'll find my own on the way too. Expect to find beauty and skincare reviews, book reviews, movie reviews, and current obsessions. Oh, and a little couture here and there too.

Old Town White Coffee Ipoh Hor Fun review

  Who doesn't like Old Town White Coffee? It's so nostalgic, from the furniture they have to the food they serve. It's really like a throwback to the simpler times in Singapore. According to Wikipedia, Old Town White Coffee is the largest kopitiam restaurant chain in Malaysia and has over 180 outlets in the region. Can you believe that? I love their kaya toast and of course, their Ipoh Hor Fun. Why go to Penang when you can just enjoy the Hor Fun here? Normally I get those Ipoh Hor Fun that is served in rich gravy, with not much soup. But this one is served in a clear broth, which is perfect for a light meal that is also filling. At the end of it, you won't feel too full or bloated like if you had something richer. The kway teow is served with generous helpings of prawns and chicken shreds every time I go there (my favourite outlet is Playground at East Coast Park, the area that used to be Big Splash. There are 8 outlets in Singapore at the moment, and they ar
