K-Palette 1 Day Lash Perm Long Curl Mascara Black Waterproof

I am so happy today because my Japan Visa was finally approved! Yey! DH and I will push through with our Japan vacation this year... woot! We will have another winter holiday just like last year in Korea! There's a lot of planning to do and I am so excited!

Speaking of Japan, a few weeks ago, a packaged arrived at my doorstep from Beautybox Corp. , the local distributor of K-Palette and Fairydrops Japan ; )

with K-Palette 1 Day Lash Perm Long Curl Mascara PhP 895

The package contained the following:

• K-Palette 1 Day Lash Perm Long Curl Mascara
• Fairydrops Volume Burst Mascara (Waterproof Type)
• Fairydrops Volume Burst Mascara (Film Type)

Now, I can't use all three mascaras simultaneously so I have to choose only one. I got curious with K-Palette 1 Day Lash Perm Long Curl Mascara that's why I opened it first. To know all the products that I used in the photo above and my review, read after the break...

Gift Guide: Shiseido Camellia Compact

A few weeks ago, Shiseido sent over a package containing the most coveted item from their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection - the Limited Edition Camellia Compact. Instead of just reviewing it, I decided to include it as one of the items on Gift Guide because this compact is perfect for women with exquisite taste in makeup.

Shiseido Camellia Compact 6.5 g (0.22 OZ.) PhP 1998

I know many women will love it as much as I do because the powder has a smooth, high quality texture, and its ingredients give it a velvety, dewy feeling during application.
