Kiss Me Heroine Make

Kiss Me Heroine Make Long and Curl mascara
I don't usually blog about beauty products, but I switched mascaras a few months ago and for the first time in my life am getting compliments on my eyelashes! My lashes are long, but they point straight down, and until I discovered this mascara, there was basically nothing I could do about it. No amount of curling or curling mascara or even heat curling made any difference; I could curl and apply mascara and within about five minutes, they'd be back down, pointing toward the ground.

I borrowed this mascara from a friend and for the first time, my lashes stay curled and up all day! And this mascara does not move! There's no smudging or flaking, and I can even wear it to the gym and rinse my face afterward. The catch is that because it's so long wearing, it's hard to get off. I use Boscia MakeUp BreakUp Cool Cleansing Oil and smear some on my eye area while I brush my teeth, then wash it off. There's also a remover made especially for this mascara that works fairly well.

Just look at the difference!

so sad, so straight

so happy, so curly!

I can see you.....
Is it creepy looking at my eyes like that? Sorry.

Long story short, this is the only mascara I use anymore, and I can't even think of what I'd switch to if they stopped making this. The Long and Curl is pictured and linked, but I'm wearing the Volume and Curl. I don't like the brush on the original (skinny in the middle, fat on the ends) but the new version (with a black top and pink bottom) has a regular brush. You can get it online on Ebay or Amazon, but I recommend Sasa, my favorite Hong Kong makeup and skincare store. They ship to the US for only $6 and have a ton of other stuff I love! More recommendations to come!

Give me a head with HAIR.

This blog is about to be hijacked by beauty info, because I just got my Sasa order in and I can't wait to talk about my Kiss Me Heroine Make mascara and remover! And BB cream and stem cell lotion!

In the meantime, check out this wig pamphlet that came with my Sasa order.

wigs-1

"Huh, weird, those girls don't look like they're wearing wigs at all!"

wigs-2

"Pretty cute! So Japanese, with the voluminous curled-under bobs!"

wigs-3

"Huh. Ok."

And finally, a close-up look at the back page where you can see samples of each of the hair colors that the wigs are offered in. Asians love to dye their hair all manner of shades of brown, with such subtle differences that you would never have imagined there could BE so many browns. Including the awesomely named "Congo Brown" and "Latino Brown." IDK, personally I would have thought Congo Brown would be darker? And Latino Brown, I have no idea about. I'm not even going to attempt a comment.
