[Maichi Takahashi] Jümily Eyelashes *NO.4 CAT EYES*

Another false lashes I got from Japan are the Jümily Eyelashes. These lashes are produced by japanese fashion model MAICHI (Maichi Takahashi). I got only NO.4 CAT EYES at the moment but I would like to try out one of the other designs as well:
- 01 EXTE EYES
- 02 3WAY EYES
- 03 GIRLY EYES
- 05 BASIC EYES (Under Lash)
- 06 DOLLY EYES (Under Lash)

The plastic packaging contains 2 pairs of eyelashes and no glue. The paper inside is light blue and pink with a pic of MAICHI wearing these CAT EYES lashes. On the back is a description of how to use the lashes (japanese only).
The eyelashes are flexible and partly clear. I have some problems with applying them and because of that I'm also not really satisfied with the look. They doesn't look on my eyes as the ones MAICHI is wearing on the promotion pics. But maybe it's coz I don't have asian eyes.
Nevertheless, I still like them!
The NO.4 CAT EYES are shorter and thinner at the inner corner and become longer and thicker from the middle to the outer corner.

Price: around 11,50,- €/ US$15 
Bought at: eBay (alphabeautyuk) 

What I love: 
The design is nice even though they don't look that great on my eyes.

What I don’t like: 
Nothing except that I have some problems with applying them. 

Will I buy this again? Another design like the '3WAY EYES'.

[Rumi Itabashi] Luminous Change EYELASH *03 Volume Glamorous'

The False Lashes I review today are Luminous Change EYELASH in 03 Volume Glamorous. These lashes are produced by japanese Model Rumi Itabashi.
This serie comes in the following 9 designs:
01. Natural Extension eye
02. Pure Elegant eye
03. Volume Glamorous eye
04. Cool Beauty eye
05. Natural Volume eye
06. Fluffy Airy eye
07. Feminine eye
08. Bright Oval eye
09. Huge eye (lower lashes)


I got No.02, 03 and 09 plus, Rumi's Eyelash glue. I'm thinking about getting No.06, 07 or 08 as well.
Each pack contains 5 pair of lashes what I really like. Many japanese Eyelashes contain less but are more expensive. The packaging of No.03 is kept in orange with a nice flower print. Each design is in another color. On top is a promo pic of Rumi wearing these lashes.
On the back is a description of how to use them (in japanese only). 
These Eyelashes doesn't contain any glue!
No.03 Volume Glamorous has a clear line and is very flexible. This design got thick lashes and becomes a bit shorter toward the inside corner.
I had problems with removing the glue afterwards. Some lashes were falling out so I had to threw one of them away already.
The right eye looks a bit different from the left eye. That's because I made a small mistake while applying them.
The color contact lenses I wear on this pics are Twinkle - Chocolate Brown. Usually I prefer to wear blue lenses but I like the brown ones more. 

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16
Bought at: eBay (alphabeautyuk) 

What I love:  
The clear and flexible line. The lashes aren't too long - no need to trim!!

What I don’t like:  
It's not easy for me to remove the glue again!

Will I buy this again? Yeah, I got another design already and thinking about buying some more.

[ayumi hamasaki] A eyelash *Gorgeous Days No.4*

The first thing I bought in the new year was a electric facial cleansing brush. I was reading good reviews about those brushes at google so I wanted to get one for myself. When it really helps I don't need to use too much cosmetic anymore what will save me a lot of money!
I got the SIRIUS Skinsonic one which cost me just $49 + $14 for each pack of replacement brushes. I got it in the USA coz I can't find it in my country.

Furthermore I will review now for the first time one of my False Lashes. I begin with the A eyelash produced by famous japanese Pop Singer ayumi hamasaki.
These eyelashes are from Japan and available in different styles as upper and lower lashes. There are around 4 which I would like to try out but they are a bit pricey. That's why I just got the Gorgeous Days No.4 for now!
The pack contains 3 pairs of false lashes and come in a plastic packaging. 
The Gorgeous Days line is kept in pink with a pic of Ayu on it.
Inside the packaging is a description of how to use the lashes.
The lashes No.4 are shorter toward the inside corner and become longer and thicker toward the outer corner. They got a clear line and are quite easy to apply. I have to say that I don't wear fake lashes too often and are not very good in applying them yet.
These lashes looking nice but they are not my favorite. I got better ones already!
I used the first pair a few times already and they look now a bit 'worn out'. Not as pretty as the unused ones anyway.
The pics below are taken either with flash light or without:
Btw, I'm also wearing color contact lenses. On this pics I wear Twinkle - Sapphire Blue.
These are 'Made in Korea' as well.

Price: around 22,- €/ 2.200Yen  
Bought at: ICHIBANKAO 

What I love:   
There are easy to apply. 

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like except the price. 

Will I buy this again? I would like to try out another style.

[CandyDoll] Lip Gloss *Macaroon Pink*

In addition to the two [CandyDoll] Lipsticks I got one of the Lip Glosses which are produced by Tsubasa Masuwaka as well.
This gloss also contains Hyaluronic Acid.

You can choose from 6 colors:
- Strawberry Milk
- Macaroon Pink
- Milk Tea Beige
- Peach Orange
- Milk Tea Orange
- Gelato Glitter

At first I wanted to get Milk Tea Beige or Gelato Glitter but then changed to Macaroon Pink.
The product description says that you will get a 'Pastel Pink' when you wear the gloss alone and a cute 'Milky Pink' when you wear it over a lipstick.
The packaging is just a simple design again: A translucent bottle with a lid in black & silver.
It has a soft sponge applicator which is not 100% straight. Can you see it on the pic above?
Macaroon Pink is a strong light pink with a quite good coverage.
The consistence is thicker and more sticky than other lip glosses.
For the pics I wore the gloss without a concealer or lipstick.

When you wear this lip gloss make sure that your lips are not too dry or rough. The gloss will get cought in the dead skin cells or wrinkles and make them more visible.

Price: around 1950JPY/ US$25
Bought at: ICHIBANKAO

What I love:
There is nothing I really love!

What I don’t like:
The consistence is a bit too thick and sticky but when I apply just a thin layer it's fine.

Will I buy this again?
No! Not this color anyway. Maybe I can get myself to buy another color.

[CandyDoll] Lip Sticks *Ramune Pink & Vanilla Beige*

It doesn't happen often that I buy japanese make-up coz most of them are more expensive than the ones from Korea. But last time I got two new japanese Lipsticks from [CandyDoll]. 
These products are produced by the famous model Tsubasa Masuwaka.
They all contain Hyaluronic Acid, Royal Jelly and Olive.

I took Ramune Pink and Vanilla Beige. There is a third color, Apricot Beige, available. 
As I already wrote in another post, I love the Nude-Look. So I needed to try them out!
Both lipsticks are kept in a simple black and silver design.

Vanilla Beige:
This color is a nude beige and looks not bad but is actually darker than on the product pic (Tsubasa's lips). It has a creamy texture with a good coverage. This color is rather matt so I prefer to add a lip gloss.

Ramune Pink/ Lemonade Pink:
This color is a slightly light pink and I like it even if it's also darker than on the product pic (Tsubasa's lips). It has the same creamy texture and coverage as the other color but Ramune Pink is a bit more shiny than Vanilla Beige...not too much, though.
When you wear this lipsticks make sure that your lips are not dry or rough. The lipstick will get cought in the dead skin cells or wrinkles and make them more visible.

Price (each): around 1950JPY/ US$25
Bought at: ICHIBANKAO

What I love:
There is nothing I really love!

What I don’t like:
The texture is a bit too thick for me and the colors are darker than shown on the promotion pic.

Will I buy this again?
No! I'm not very satisfied with this lipsticks especially the 'Vanilla Beige' rather disappointed me...
