I’m very familiar with under eye puffer or cover-up products but I’ve never hear much of upper eyelid lifter. It’s not that hot on my beauty radar.
Upper Eyelids sag, droop, and deflate through age, I’m assuming. Maybe you already have eye creams that you trust but here’s something you might want to check out also. Bremenn’s “Upper Eyelid Lifter” will fix the upper eyelid problems right up by making your eyes look bigger, brighter, and refreshingly alive. And, you don’t have to suffer from any surgery. Imagine that.
$59 from Bremmen’s Lab.

Everyone I know seems to be going gaga over Harajuku. I guess the print is cute and playful and if I ever get the crazy idea of getting one for myself, I’ll pretend it’s a diaper bag, hahahaha.
While I’m not particularly crazy over the regular handbags, these Harajuku Summer Lovers Bag collection for makeup brushes are not bad at all. Like Sephora’s description said, the set is meant for anyone with a “fatal attraction to cuteness.” I think that’s putting it mildly.
The Harajuku Summer Lovers Bag collection includes : – Brush Case &29 (holds brushes, pens, or pencils), …read more

I ask myself once in a while if I need a makeup train case. As the days go by and I keep ignoring it, I think I do need one.
Right now my beauty essentials are in different cases. I’m just lucky that our bathroom has a big enough closet with wide shelves where I store everything. I would love all my makeup stuff in one case though. It will probably save me a lot of space in the closet and my husband a headache.
What I like about this Sephora Metro Train ($98) is of course the obvious fact. …read more

In continuing with my “obsession” with cute, unique, and pretty compact mirrors (NYX, L’Oreal, Shop Lucy’s, and ULTA) here’s one from none other than Dior. Just the name alone makes me giddy.
Dior Lady Dior Compact, $75. Inspired by the “Lady Dior” handbag, here’s a mini-bag compact accented with it’s own sparkling metal and faux leather skin. The compact has cheek highlighter and glossy lip tint. $75 is kind of pricey for my wallet just for a compact. I’m not going to buy it of course. I just like looking at it. Maybe someday but definitely not today. Not …read more

I was reading about Sephora Professional Bronzer Brush and it is quite interesting to find out the mixed reviews about it.
Well actually, the bad thing about this bronzer brush is considered a good thing by other people. It’s quite big that it takes too much, on the other hand, it’s big enough to give an even application on the face. So it’s safe to say that it will be a matter of preference.
Other bad review about it is that the bristles and fibers apparently fall too easily. Another review said otherwise. When it comes to mixed reviews like …read more
