FairyDrops Platinum Mascara Water Proof Type Review and Pictures

This is a great mascara that is proven to be waterproof, holds my eyelash curl all day and has fibres that lengthens my lashes.

I love using this with my Dior extase Mascara, the combo results in my short straight asian eye lashes to stand up and look full.

This is a perfect base for my lashes because without applying this first, Dior EXTASE just weighs down my lashes and seem too thick.

The curved brush with 3 balls really helps separate my lashes and coat them evenly.

All in all this is a mascara i highly recommend for people with Short, Straight and Sparse lashes !! This is a total lash saviour! It also lasts all day because of it's waterproof properties but it takes more time to remove this mascara with a make up remover.

I washed my full face make up face and this mascara cannot be removed with water. So if you are not a fan of super non-budging hard to remove mascara I do not recommend this item.

It is buildable and you can see it from the pic collection that I have made. All in all I love this !!

Love,
Cherry :)

Revlon Photoready Bronzer Limited Edition Escapism Summer 2012Collection Review&Swatches

This bronzer came out in the Revlon by Gucci Westman Escapism Collection for Summer 2012.
Since this is a Limited Edition Item, if you can get your hands on it and you have a medium complexion, I would highly suggest you to purchase it! 
This bronzer consist of 4 colours (I am going to describe each individually) all of the colours are matte but have different undertones in my opinion. Matte bronzers are favorable because they give a much more natural effect, which is good. Especially for bronzer beginners who are afraid to contour!

1. The lightest shade is a yellow toned light brown colour.
2. The shade on top right is a neutral tone medium brown colour.
3. The bottom right is a orange tone medium brown colour.
4. The darkest shade is a neutral tone medium-dark brown colour.


The packaging is pretty hefty for a drugstore item, it is made of plastic but looks refined from the outside. It contains a mirror and also a cheap plastic brush that has rough bristles. I usually contour using my favorite Shu Uemura 14H angled brush. I have never used the brush included because I put it away and do not need it. For people who like brushes in their product that are small and easy to carry around, it might be quite handy, but I just don't really like it :)


I did not swatch these colours heavily, but I must say the pigmentation is very nice and the powder formulation glides on smoothly, and is highly blendable when applied to my face for contouring.
It also lasts on my skin and does make you "PHOTOREADY", with flash or non flash photography, this bronzer contours the shape of my face like wonders. 

All in all, it has become my favorite bronzer for contouring because I can mix up the shades and use it for different parts of my face. I like contouring my nose with a lighter, subtle colour or else it will look highly unnatural. The other 3 colours are nice for contouring my cheekbones and jaw line. 

You can watch this bronzer in action in my make up tutorials, visit my youtube beauty channel under the account : cherrythoughts

I highly recommend this item as this has become my favorite!! Grab it while you still can :)

See you in the next post!!
