I've just bought the lash impact in volume and has tried it once on friday. I feel that the effect is almost similar to cutie curl and it doesnt flakes as much. I always find mascara flakes whenever I used cutie curl. Will update again after a few more uses.

I must say that cutie curl is my holy grail.. i personally like it very much as it builds up very well after 2 coats. The other comparable one is Etude house o' myeye lash Volume.

Finally landed back on ZA foundation (it was the first brand for two-way cake foundation that I used when I started using MU), this time round I switched to the ZA TRUE WHITE PLUS TWO-WAY FOUNDATION. 'cos of my tanned complexion, I took the darkest shade 32. Will give more reviews after using it for the next few days! =)

I like cutie curl, it works well on my lashes. My friend likes to use the foundation and concealer, it lasts hours on her skin. Partly is because she doesn't have serious bad dark circles like me, so most of the brands of concealer works very well on her.

I had gotten the new Impact Lash in Volume and been using it for the past 2 weeks or so. So far I like it but I think I prefer the old Cutie Curl Volume because of the brush.The old Cutie Curl is easier to build on the volume than the new Impact Lash but that could be because the formula is more liquidy for the new one. Both are good mascaras in their own ways

I agree with you, it really builds up and it forms a nice curl for me. The only thing is I find it diff to remove it, even with DHC cleanser...its take a while for me to get rid of that from my lashes. I use neutrogena or maybelline remover to get it out.

I use the other side of the brush to build in volume (the concave side). The convex side is good for lengthening.

Za had actually sponsored me their Mascara base, Wide Eyes Mascara and their newly formulated Eye & Lip makeup remover. I have tried and love them all!

But I was still not contented with Wide Eyes alone, and was keen to try out their Impact Lash Volume. So when I saw their Impact Lash Volume mascara was on promotion, I bought without hesitation! The promotion was, with every purchase of their Impact Lash Volume mascara, there would be a free travel-sized Eye & Lip Makeup Remover!

Just so nice for me! <3





The Eye & Lip Makeup Remover is good!

It is able to remove waterproof eyeliner and mascara with just a few gentle wipes. It’s not very oily and infact leaves the skin near my eye area feeling moisturized and soft! No stinging at all!

Their Eye & Lip Makeup Remover is available at full size, retailing at SGD12.90, at Watsons stores!

*Psst!*

I’ve gotten mine at the Watsons store from T3, GST-Free!



Back to the my review on the Impact Lash Volume and Wide Eyes mascaras…



Just like any other mascara, brush the mascara base on my eyelashes..




I started off with the new Mascara Base, which has got mascara fibers in white. I just applied a few coats on my lashes. Didn’t feel anything, the fibers didn’t fall on my face, messy-free.



After the mascara base, it’s the Impact Lash Volume mascara. I usually apply Volume mascara before any other mascara.

This volumizing mascara consists of 2 difference thickness on the bristles which helps to create a volumizing effect.

Upon application, there will be an increase in the illumination on each and every lash.

For Impact Lash Mascara (Volume), its brush comes in a curved extrafine fiber brush. The inward curve fits the eye curve and tries to reach each and every lash. The outward curve consists of wide-pitched fibers to give lash tip a clump-free and fine finish. As for the tip of the brush, it has shorter bristle to reach for the the corner lashes and shorter lashes like the bottom eyelashes.



I always believe that inorder to create lengths, I will need to volumize my eyelashes so that more lengthening mascara can then be applied on the thick lash strands from the volume.



Application
Step 1. Use the inward curve to brush upwards (in zig zag motion) from the roots to the tip of the upper eyelashes.
Step 2. Use the outward curve to comb lashes from the roots to the tip of the eyelashes, so as to separate the lashes in a fan shape.
Repeat Step 1 & 2 to increase the volume of lashes.
Step 3. Use tip of brush to apply the corner lashes and bottom lashes.



After doing with the Impact Lash Volume mascara, to give the eyelashes a more define/dramatic effect, follow up with a lengthening or Wide Eyes mascara.

To give a fan out look, Wide Eyes Mascara is the one!



This Wide Eyes mascara is meant to separates lashes finely and creates a beautiful fan-out effect.

Its glossy coat oil gives a lustrous effect to lashes.

It has a double comb! The extrafine pitch coil, and the extra small jaggy comb, together they help to create the wide fan-like effect on the lashes!

The Extra small jaggy coil basically coats a generous amount of mascara on the lashes, and because of the coil design, even short lashes and lashes which are hard to reach can be easily coated.

The Extra fine pitch comb separates each lash and spreads the mascara which was previously coated by the coil for a neat, fan-out and non-clumpy finish.



Application
Step 1. Use the Extra small jaggy coil to apply mascara from the roots to the tip of the upper eyelashes.
Step 2. Use tip of bristles to reach difficult corners and short lashes.
Step 3. Use the Extra fine pitch comb to create the fan-out effect.

The more coats you apply, the more dramatic the effects will be and you can skip your falsies!

My results!
Before (top), After (below):



More After photos:






I didn’t apply a lot of coats here as I was in rush for work. But from side and top views, my eyelashes are prominent enough to catch some attentions from colleagues.

The best of all, it’s smudge-proof, no worries even though I’ve got oily eyelids!

Same sentiments as prettyeagle, i also prefer cutie curls to this new lash impact range, but both still works good on me.

As for mascara remover, other than the Za point makeup remover, Fancl MCO removes equally well.

Pls review your ZA pore smoother after use, cotters
May I know, if I don't put on makeup on some particulars with just sunblock, do I need still to apply this ZA pore smoother? After sunblock of before sunblock then? Have to get this product if it really can't help in giving me the matte look..

Since the pore smoother is a primer, it should be applied only after sunblock.
