2013 Must-Have: Clean, Doll-Like Lashes from Fairy Drops and K-Palette

When I was in the US and Japan, there were two hauls I made that I absolutely couldn't have missed:

Can you guess what's inside these bags?

My fave Kit Kats!

I had a major face palm moment when I got home and realized that I didn't haul on Fairy Drops Platinum Mascara (it's out of stock here in Manila!) and K-Palette eye liners from Sephora and Japan respectively. Please don't hate me but can you tell how timely these samples were? :)

Our friends from Beauty Box Corp. (the exclusive distributor of Fairy Drops and K-Palette in the Philippines) sent me the trio of fresh mascara wands above for me to road test. Summer's just a stone throw away and like what I always do each year, I always haunt for the cleanest looking and longest wearing mascaras that can withstand our deadly humid weather.

Fairy Drops Volume Burst Mascara, Php 950 each
Pink - water resistant/film type
Purple - waterproof

These Volume Burst Mascaras from Fairy Drops promise long lasting volume and curl in one coat thanks to its straight patented 3-teardrop wand, Volume Up Powder, Wax and Fiber.

yes, the waterproof variant (purple) has more fiber

What do I love the most about both the Fairy Drops Volume Burst Mascaras? My lashes are touchable and never brittle looking nor feeling. The product also stays on throughout the day until I decide to take it off. There was a day I forgot that I was wearing the waterproof variant and hit the hot shower. I came out of the shower with long and full lashes still! :) Removing both ain't a pain -- I just use a cleansing oil for the waterproof variant and just cleanser and water for the film, non-waterproof type.

K-Palette 1 Day Lash Perm Mascara, Php 895

The K-Palette 1 Day Lash Perm Mascara has got Pullulan which is a popular water soluble polymer that gives us defined and lengthy lashes that don't clump up or harden. I like using this mascara when I go to work since the situation calls for clean, yet long lasting makeup. I love how I can just put on the product and the brush does all the definition for me. My lashes look great with just two coats and I can go as far as five coats without the lashes clumping or curl being weighed down. Like the Fairy Drops Volume Burst Mascaras, this mascara's a true winner in my book because it lives up to its promise making my hard earned money well worth it.

Fairy Drops and K-Palette products are exclusively available in the Philippines through Beauty Bar stores nationwide and online (http://shop.beautybar.com.ph).
