Eyelash Curlkeeper + Giveaway

This is the eyelash spray I mentioned in yesterday's post. It's called Eyelash Curlkeeper by Privacy. I can't remember how much it was, but I'm sure it was cheap. There's 20g of product in this tiny can.
It's no complicated at all. I saw the instructions somewhere on one of the Japanese beauty e-stores. You spray a bit of the Curlkeeper on the front metal part of your lash curler, then you press the handle 1-2 times to get the spray on the curler evenly. You gotta work fast because this spray will dry quickly. Then proceed to curl your lashes. Easy right?! The only thing you gotta be careful of is not to over spray the curler. I made that mistake a few times. I over sprayed it on the curler so a bit of it got in my eyes...it stung because there's alcohol in it. It works just like hairspray and hairsprays tend to have alcohol in it.

I'm quite happy to report that this lash spray worked very well! Today I didn't use any eye makeup because I sat in my office the whole day (no teaching). I just curled my lashes as normal with the spray and by the end of an 8 hour day, more than half of my lashes remained in the curled position. This makes me uber happy! Right now, it's been about 11 hours since I used the spray and most of my lashes are still curled =D

I finally went to Red Mango, I had to see what the hype was about in the states. The frozen yogurt was pretty damn good, even without the fruit. I think this will be my new addiction after Smoothie King.

When I went to Kyung Hee University on Sunday (the one next to my box) a lot of the cherry blossom petals were already on the ground, but I still made good use of them.

One more picture of me and Tim, I like this picture a lot. I hope I'm not making anyone puke XD
I have no idea what that church/cathedral thing is in the background. I think it's part of the university. It's gothic-ish style with stain glass that have Greek gods/goddesses, globes, dragons and doves, but no crosses. I wonder if it's even related to anything religious.

I've been blogging for so long so I thought it was time I do a mini giveaway to my lovely readers. The prizes are a couple Cettua collagen masks and the mouth masks by DHC plus some Skinfood samples. The DHC mask is so cool, it stays on you like a sticker but made with a jelly substance. Anyway, here's what you gotta do:

Tell me you want in on this giveaway in this comment box plus tell me:
A) Why you started blogging
OR
B) What makes you interested in beauty blogs.
Remember to leave your name and e-mail address!

You will have until Saturday April 18 11:59PM my time in Seoul...which is 13 hours ahead of the time in Toronto (around 10:59AM on Saturday). I can't remember which timezone, so you can do the math =p The comments should be showing up with the time in Korea.
I will pick the winner with random.org. Your number will depend on what order you place your comment =)

cool. finally u have a giveaway. haha
hmm, why i start blogging? it just happen one day when I'm so down because of some matter and very @__@ problem, not really want to mention about it.keep it private. and then, I bumped into some beauty blogger blogs and it is so stunning because from there i see people review about the skincare, makeup, swap that they got and it is just so much fun. so, I decided to do a beauty blog for public. Since I'm a big fans of skinfood, mask sheet and every cute things, i created a blog. and now, I have followers, and i got many comments. it is such a wonderful and happy news for me. since then, i continue and keep on beauty blogging. it is a place where girls chat, discuss and share every of their beauty secrets <3

I love reading beauty blogs because they're full of so much info! Also it's pretty hard to access asian beauty items here in NZ so I try to live vicariously through you guys! One day though, one day I'll have my own blog!

well i would probably talk about my interest in beauty blogs.It started not long ago,bout a year?is that long or short?i considered it short compared to other beauty interested people.Anyway,i've been dragged down with constant skin problem and there was once(after returning from singapore) i had a bad breakout.Its not only a breakout really,it spreads from a 20 cent coin to half of my face!So yeah,i've to see the doctor and all and it was caused by some kind of bacteria >.< i was put on medication for the longest time!i was very emotional and lack the self confidence i once had.now i'm free from that but still constantly suffer from lots of whitehead acne and etc.So i started to search for beauty blogs ; skincare.and i never looked back ever since!I'm in love with beauty now,a girl's nature <3 so yeap would like to share my story with everyone.take care of your skin!have a nice day everyone^^

Bijin Blair said...

I love being vain, so naturally, I got into reading/stalking beauty blogs haha.

Tsuze said...

B) What makes me interested in beauty blogs?

I was clueless about what make-up or skincare regimens I should use, so checking out beauty blogs provided me with handy reviews of the latest products. Beauty blogs really influenced my shopping preferences and habits alot these past 3 months, I'm a beauty shopaholic now, always wanting to try as many products as I can afford! =P

beeyoutiful7 said...

You & Ur bf is super cute <3

Well,
I started blogging because it's something that I would like to share my thoughts on beauty and get to know others and hear about their side of beauty.

Beauty/Makeup/Skincare is one of my biggest hobby that I LOVE to experience and learn. Everyday, I learn something from many other blogger ladies. It's pretty nice to know that we all love the same stuff.

<3

i started blogging because my very close group of high school friends all went to different schools and we wanted an easy way to keep in touch and keep each other updated.. so.. yes. that's why we started blogging xD then i moved to a public blog when my friend katie told me to... because.. yes. then i found the beauty blogs!! and i loved reading about all of this pretty makeup.. eventually got into it.. and am wearing more makeup, and am feeling more pretty and confident :) plus blogger babes are so sweet and amazing!

Joy said...

Makeup World said...

Awww...what a cute picture of you and the lover!

I would love to get my hands on these Japanese mask and skin food items. I have read a lot of good blogs reviews about skin food and face mask and would like to try some.

I had started reading beauty blogs and writing my own about two years ago as an interest of the Make up Industry. I find beauty blog as a great resource for girls who want to learn more about make up and learn how to apply make up. The benefits that I get out of these beauty blogs are: great make up tips, meeting make up lovers all over the countries, great make up products reviews (that will save you a lot of money), tutorials, and lastly is someone who can understand your make up language. lol...These are some of my reason why I am interested in the beauty blogs. -Makeup-World- Kazang_lee@yahoo.com

paperdollrevenge said...

Such cuuuuuuuuuute pictures!! So cute you make me vomit, jk!

Actually...did you know when I started my blog, it had nothing to do with beauty blogging, haha...it was suppose to help me focus on creative writing. =/ So much for that!

You're still my original Skin Food queen, hehe.

ChyiX2 said...

Haha, lol at the flower petal pictures XD

Ehm...I initially started blogging because I mostly wanted to keep an online diary and perhaps talk about beauty a bit. Hence my blog isn't a "real" beauty blog as such but more like tidbits from my life or whatever my tiny brain can think of.

PS! Yes, you will have to send me your entry to officially enter my contest. It's so funny, everyone uploaded their entries on their blogs or ABB but a few sent it to me, so I've been writing and pm'ing a bunch of people. It would be a shame if you didn't win it because you didn't enter, so check out my previous entries for more info.

Angie said...

That curlkeeper sounds awesome!

Hahah I <3 Red Mango! God I I was sooo happy with the pomegrante yogurt w/strawberries I wanted to keep going back! haha

Hahha look at how cute you are! You remind me of a little kid with fall leaves!

Such a cute photo! =) You guys don't make me gag, you make me smile!

A. I started blogging to share my thoughts and experiences with the world. If I could help just one person, that makes me happy! I like to ramble, so having a blog helps haha. And I wanted to get to know some of you girls better!

B. I am obsessed with makeup/skincare! hahah. I find so much happiness in researching products and spending $ on them instead of clothes. Beauty blogs introduce products I may not otherwise try or come across. It helps me expand my horizons!
