shu uemura metal:ink [Review]

great metallic eyeliners

How about a bouquet of metallic eyeliners, my friends? 

Yup, let's go crazy because shu uemura launched its metallic bouquet 2015 spring summer collection and holy moly, it's so festive and summer ready. It's feminine, playful and quite versatile. 

metal:ink, the eyeliners, is only part of the collection. They have other products such as 4 shades of pressed eye shadows, 5 limited edition rouge unlimited lipsticks, and a fabulous pair of limited edition graphical falsies. But I will only be reviewing these gorgeous eyeliners.

Uchiide, shu uemura's international artistic director was inspired by "Hanabi" fireworks that decorate Tokyo's night skies during the festive New Year season. Thus, comes the bold, vivid hues, with daring colour and luster to give this bright, feminine and warm summer's look the edge.

I am truly impressed by these metallic liners. From the formula to the brightness and the longevity of these colourful babes are just absolutely amazing.

For starters, let's talk about the formula. Many times, people pass of metallic liners as something that's filled with glitters. This doesn't even come close to that, thankfully. Because metallics are suppose to shiny without that whole glitter drama and this is great because not everyone can stand the reflective attitude of glitters. It glides on very smoothly, quite precisely (many thanks to the flexible brush tip), and when it dries, it somewhat "hardens" that makes it super long lasting and doesn't smudge.

Yes, with just one swipe, you can already achieve a really bold, bright, pigmented line. The swatches above are done with just one swipe. However, I highly suggest that you go over it one more time to make the colour really pop and much more opaque. This product is buildable, the more you layer, the more intense it gets but I really don't think you should layer it over 6 times as it might get too thick and not very pretty. 

I love the packaging as it's simple and so sleek, making it perfect for travelling. It comes in 4 defining shades - Black, Brown, Navy, Purple - and 6 vibrant shades - Red, Blue, Pink, Green, Silver, Gold - to sum up a total of 10 metallic shades. It's waterproof, the colour doesn't change as the day goes by and it's surprising quite easy to remove with cleansing oil. 

Price: RM94 (before GST)

How To Enjoy Ramyeon/Instant Noodles At Han River When In Seoul! \\ What To Do In Seoul

Image
I believe it was early last year when a video of people cooking instant noodles and enjoying them by the Han River in Korea went viral. It was a super cool concept and I told myself if I had the chance to go around Seoul myself, experiencing ramyeon at Han River will definitely be on top of my list. Many months later, Dex and I had a trip to Seoul and did this together. While planning this trip, I was so focused on trying to find which Han River that has this special cooking machine. I thought it was only one particular place sell this but it's actually not. I believe by now, pretty much any park that's by the Han River allows you to have this experience as long as they have a convenient store. We've chosen to visit Yeouido Park by the Han River since it was one of the recommended place that my sis-in-law mentioned and she's not wrong, the park was beautiful. I personally do recommend this park too.

Printing My 2014 Memories With Canon! [HUGE GIVEAWAY]

Image
2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.  I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.
