Fiber wig paint-on false lashes mascara and Dejavu Lasting fine eyeliner

I bought this about 3 weeks back. Sasa was having a promotion where these 2 products came together at the price of RM 59. I think this is a value for money because the original price for the mascara alone is RM 59.



This is a smudge proof but not water proof mascara. I was a little confuse at first, when I asked the sales assistant, she said that smudge proof means that it will not smear (none smudge proof mascara will leave you with panda eyes if you are not careful). This mascara is not water proof, meaning when you get into water, the mascara will wear off.

I like it that this is a fiber type mascara and even if you accidentally rub your eyes, it will not smear, instead you will see small little fiber which looks like your eye lashes around your eyes. For a quick fix, go to the ladies and just wipe or pick off those little fibers around your eye area. No make-up remover needed!



The eye liner is also very easy to use. It is also smudge proof. This liner also allows you to draw a fine line. The one thing I do not like about it is that the color is not dark enough.

Verdict: Mascara is good if you do not want to worry about getting panda eyes later in the day and it separates the lashes neatly. It is also easy to remove and if you are lazy, you can remove it with water only. But sadly I do not think it helps much in lengthening and volumising my lashes. It still looks almost the same maybe because my lashes are short and sparse. But on another note, I have a friend who has very long lashes who uses the same mascara and have gotten a better effect. As for the liner, it does last you the whole day without panda eyes but I think the color is a bit to light.

theBalm Pick–Up Liner

When I saw this brand in a magazine, the first thing that came to my mind is that it looks like Benefit BUT with a more affordable price. I saw their promo booth in mid valley few weeks ago but did not have time to check it out. So the second option was to ask Google :). I ran a search in Google but did not find any information on where I can find this brand in Malaysia.

I dropped by Mid Valley again to look for this brand. I went to Metrojaya and Jusco cosmetic floor in search for the brand and they say they don’t carry it, some even say they have never heard of this brand. I went around again and guess where I found theBalm??! In SASA. They are the only company who carries this brand in Malaysia, for now.

I am a sucker for packaging and I WILL buy products with interesting or unique packaging. The look of these products brings me back to the Marilyn Monroe and Oliver Newton in Grease era but in a comic format.
I bought a few of their products, but I am only going to review the eyeliner in this entry. I am saving the rest of the products for my future entries hehehehe.
I like the way they name the product, it sounds very fun and appealing. It also has a very quirky (some might say lame) copy. The line says; your name must be Mickey ‘cuz you’re so fine!’

The copy aside, this is one of the most unique packaging that I have seen before; the eye liner packaging comes with a sharpener. And it not only has 1 liner, but 3 different eye liners in black, brown and gray. They also have another variant that consist of blue, green and purple liners. Because it is a pencil liner, therefore it is very easy to apply and also very accurate. And according to their website, it says that it is water resistent too. But i did not find that line in the actual product.


Verdict : It is convenient for girls who want variety because all the liners comes in mini sizes. This is also a very nice gift. This is definitely a MUST buy for those who are a sucker for packaging like me. BUT when it comes to the product, i will not give as many brownie points as i did for the packaging. I find that the liners does not last and also it kind of smear and leave a stain on the top of my lid after wearing for the whole day.
