I’m falling for Koji

Today, I will be talking about the recent eyeliner that I have been using as this is a special request from Shine Tang. Hope you girls will enjoy this review as much as I do while writing it.

The lovely eyeliner that I will be reviewing is none other than, Koji’s Spring Heart Long Lasting Eyeliner in Dark Brown 02.

Look at the princess-y package.

Koji is a Japanese brand which focuses on cosmetic beauty products. The well raved dolly wink and eye talk products are also produce by them.

I chanced upon the Koji’s Spring Heart Long Lasting Eyeliner when I was browsing Watsons’s shelf one sunny Saturday afternoon after work.

The cute packing with it's affordable price attracted me straight away as I have been looking for a nice yet easy on the pocket, waterproof pencil brown eyeliner for quite some time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why particularly pencil eyeliners,

I prefer pencil eyeliners as it is easier to control and it is always possible to blend them to give a natural overall look for your eyes.

Pencil eyeliners are also easier for beginners to master and I just love the creamy texture that often comes with it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More about the Koji’s Spring Heart Long Lasting Eyeliner,

 After removing the cap, the nifty Koji’s Spring Heart Long Lasting Eyeliner looks like this.

What you should know about it:

• Crayon pencil type eyeliner that is retractable.
• Waterproof.
• Comes with a sharper.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pros

• Easy to handle.
• Glides on effortlessly.
• Intense colour payoff upon first application.
• Long lasting.
• Waterproof and sweat resistant.
• Convenient as there is a sharper included.
• Blending tip provided at the other end of the eyeliner.

Cons

• Breakage of crayon might occur if one twists out more than 4mm, though this can be minimized with extra care.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To prove that the Koji’s Spring Heart Long Lasting Eyeliner really works as what it promises, I have put it to a test.

 The show down begins, after I wrote Sweet Sugar Caramel on my hand using the eyeliner ^_^

 Constant running water.

First off, I put my hand under constant running water for a few minutes to test on its waterproof claims. 

Next, I follow closely with spraying on facial mist on the area and then tried to rub off the eyeliner with intense circular motion.

The test results are as follows:

Under constant running water: No smudges or colour run off, an absolutely fabulous result.

Upon spraying of facial mist: No smudges or colour run off after intense rubbing on the area I spray.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments
For its attractive pricing at $9.90, I find that it is an absolute worthwhile buy and does not hurt my pocket to give it a try. 

The Koji’s Spring Heart Long Lasting Eyeliner also delivers what it promises like being waterproof, sweat resistant and the intensity of the colour really stays vibrant for quite a long period of time.

To me, the Koji’s Spring Heart Long Lasting Eyeliner is an absolute gem.

I would definitely be recommending it to my friends and readers to give it a try. 

My Verdict

9 out of 10 stars.

Will I buy it again?
YES, as it’s worth spending on for its affordable yet effective outcome. Not forgetting that there will be no more panda eyes after watching sad movies. 

Girls, you can get your hands on the Koji’s Spring Heart Long Lasting Eyeliner @ the Japanese cosmetic section at a Watsons near you.

Till next time ^_^

A DATE with RAIN

It’s a blazing lazy Sunday yet I have to drag myself out of bed, this is really unlike me as usually I would have just sleep in until the sun shines on my butt =X

The lazy me only had one motivation to go out on such a lazy day, which is an invitation to the event from one of my favorite brands.

It’s none other than:

The venue for the tea party is:

@ Bishan Junction 8’s Nature Republic outlet. It is also their first flag store in Singapore before the opening of the 313 Somerset and Jurong Point outlets.

How did I get to know about Nature Republic?

Err it is mainly because of its handsome spokesperson, Rain. 

On one of my random days, while waiting for my friends to arrive, I was walking aimlessly like usual. It was then when I saw this huge Rain cardboard cutout stand in front of Nature Republic's outlet and was immediately attracted to venture into it without any hesitation.

Did I mention that I am a HUGE sucker when it comes to Rain ever since his debut in the Korean drama: Full House?

After conquering my serious infatuation for Rain, I took a good look at Nature Republic's products and to my surprise, their products are innovative, affordable and have a good variety of both cosmetics and skincare products. 

With its easy on the pocket pricing, there is something for all everyone in any age group to try out. There is even a range especially babies and one full range for our vain male counterparts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the tea party,

 The enthusiastic ladies flooding Nature Republic's Junction 8 outlet.

Still half asleep, I made my way down all the way from the west down to Junction 8. Though I was thirty minutes earlier than expected, there was already quite a fair bit of ladies gathering in and around the outlet.

I saw my favorite Nature Republic’s BAs there, they are my regular BA from Junction 8 and a lovely BA that I met at Jurong Point. I guessed that they brought together most of the BAs from the other outlets as they expected heavy human traffic for this event, this was indeed a pretty smart move.

My regular BA recognized me straight away even though I was like stoning at the corner as there were so much ladies crowding around and I am not a fan of noisy and crowded places. It is always nice to see familiar faces around.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exactly at 3pm, while I was still looking at their new range of products that were launched specially for the tea party.

My regular BA hurried me over to join in the queue for the tea party goodie bag. It was then that I realized that it was only for the first 50 lucky ladies and while stocks lasted even though the event do require pre-registration. I think I was pretty lucky to have gotten the goodie bag out of the sea of ladies.

 I loved the fact that even the bag itself is chic yet it is reusable and functional.

The lovely reusable bag filled with goodies like: Rain’s HOT poster, masks, nail polish, soap and etc.

Many thanks to Nature Republic in putting so much effort in packing the goodie bags.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After getting fascinated with the bag, I proceed to take a look at the products and noticed that there were a few discontinued products like the soap bars hidden in amidst of the excitement of the new launches. 

This news might be disappointing for some of the fans as the soap bar were well raved by quite a fair bit of lovelies.

But fret not, Nature Republic still have lots of fabulous products for one to get infatuated with.

This are my proof of my deep infatuated with Nature Republic’s Products ^_^

I personally find that the newly launched products are pretty interesting with its uses and with its enticing packing and generous amount, I willingly brought quite a fair bit of them to try.

Those that are definitely worth mentioning are:

Fresh Green Tea Leaf Cream @ $15.10

Ice Jelly Primer Melon @ $19.80

French Lime Pore Powder Concealer @ $16.40

French Lime Pore Base Mint @ $27.50

Homemade Recipe Cucumber Pack @ $9.20 (Heard lotsa raves for this before)

Upon trying the testers, I was satisfied with the immediate effect though I would definitely test drive it for a few weeks to see the effect before giving my reviews on them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The one point I like about Nature Republic is their customer service, they were really thoughtful to prepare a buffet spread for us to tuck into if we get hungry while shopping for their products. 

I was famished by the time I finished shopping as the whole place feels like a sauna with all the overwhelming response, despite that I still find the tea party an enjoyable experience.

The BAs are really tactful in handing the customers and are all very knowledgeable about their products. I always had a great time talking with them.

Thanks for all the hard work and kudos to Nature Republic and all their staff for this event, I would definitely love to join you girls for any events in the future.

To all the lovely ladies who attended, please pardon Nature Republic as this was the first time they attempted to hold an event like this. The BAs were all very patient with our bombarding questions and it was nice of them to hold such a fabulous event for their regular fans like us.

Girls, if you would love to try Nature Republic’s newly launched products, please do not hesitate to head down to their outlets @ Bishan Junction 8, 313 Somerset and Jurong Point. The well-mannered BAs will be more than willingly to share with you their knowledge on the products.

Last but not least,  

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY NATURE REPUBLIC SINGAPORE <3

Till next time ^_^

My LIL Lioele and Elisha Coy haul

The shopaholic in me is breaking loose again, as you girls all know that I REALLY love to shop.

It is that bad a situation until to the extent that my room is so jammed pack with cosmetic and skincare products till I have hardly space to move around.

With the shopaholic me overruling my logical side of my brain, that alone is not enough in stopping me from indulging in fabulous products and flooding my blog with reviews on them.

The attractive promotion was so tempting and irresistible that I have made my way down after work to take a look even though I am half dead today.

For my honest reviews, please go to: Yufit HOT Face Shaper Bra Review

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have always been a fan for Lioele and Elisha Coy products as with it pretty packaging, user friendly products and that their BAs are always friendly and approachable. It was not only once but on a few occasions that I interacted with them.

Take an example today, I met Sarina at the special counter for the promotions that Lioele and Elisha Coy is currently holding.

She’s a pretty young lady with a chirpy bubbly character. Her explanation of the products is clear and precise as she answered my questions and we had a nice chat before I even committed on buying anything yet. This is what I call good customer service, thumbs up to Sarina.

I really enjoyed my time spend there even though I was quite tired running to almost eight different sites today. For all of you that are not sure why I always run to different sites, I am a landscape designer working in a design and built company thus I always have to do site surveys, meet clients and come up with designs for their gardens.

If you ever see me all tired with my makeup fading, please pardon me as it is most likely that I had a hard day at work. 

Girls, the Bootylicious promotion for Lioele and Elisha Coy products @ Jurong Point’s John Little will be ending on the 26-9-2010 which is this coming Sunday.

Thus to avoid any disappointment as the lovely freebies are on while stocks lasts, hurry up and make your way down as the friendly BAs will be more than willing to help you and you can get hands on experience with the products.

Till next time ^_^
