Dolly Wink from Bonjour

A lot of people know about SaSa because of their great prices and decent international postage service. However, few know about Bonjour HK unless they live in Hong Kong or have travelled there. I found out about Bonjour a year ago while I was in Hong Kong and their prices are comparable or sometimes cheaper than SaSa. Later I figured out they had an online store like SaSa. I've shopped online at SaSa when they had free expedited shipping if you spent $150 and over, now they've reduced it to free registered shipping if you spend $75 and over. It's not a bad thing but I tend to visit the site more now =S

For Bonjour they had free expedited shipping if you spend $200 or more...which can be hard to rack up or pay $15 shipping fee. The best thing now is that they've reduced it to free shipping if you spend $99 or more or pay $5.20 shipping. Big improvement =] They also carry some items that SaSa doesn't have and usually (in my opinion) their prices are cheaper by 5% or more than SaSa. 

The thing I've noticed most about Bonjour is that they carry Dolly Wink now!! and Melliesh (SaSa doesn't). However, they are $14 USD, a tiny bit more dearer but if you haul other stuff it's definitely more worth it shopping there. Also another great thing that they've introduced this year besides the cheaper shipping is FREE shipping on some selected products.

They have Dolly Wink Pure Little for $14USD shipped free =] I'm just waiting for mine to arrive at my doorstep.

N.B. I'm not paid to blog this, just sharing a good secret of mine

How to tell the difference between fake and real Shu Uemura Eyelash curlers

I don't think I made sense in my last post about Shu Uemura eyelash curlers so I'm going to do a detailed post. 

The left is fake and the right is real. I threw out the fake box but in general the fake box looks almost identical to the real one

Left is fake, right is real. Notice the screw on the fake is bigger?

Left is fake, right is real.

The left is fake and right is real. The rubber on the fake seems to look thicker, the two inner metal bars are thicker on the fake. 

Left is fake and right is real. The fake has some sort of "w" marking after the logo whereas the real doesn't. Also the rubber looks thicker on the fake one. 

Left is fake, right is real. The best way to tell if it's a fake Shu Uemura eyelash curler is the rubber band. The fake does not have the logo on the back of the rubber band. Also real Shu Uemura lash bands are softer, more flexible and slightly thinner than fakes. 

Left real, right fake. Fake seems to be thicker.

Hope my comparison was helpful. I paid a little over $2 on eBay to check out the fake. Real Shu Uemura lash curlers retail for around $40 in Australia!! I paid $12 US from BonjourHK. They are a trust worthy site and don't sell fakes. I've been to the actual stores in Hong Kong. That's how I found out about them. They are like SaSa and most of the times their prices are lower and they stock some brands and products that SaSa doesn't =]

Another SaSa Haul. lol

I should really stop looking at the SaSa site. Been drooling over the vast catalogue of products. But when I was browsing they had re-stocked Jill Stuart mix blushes (been lusting after these for a while and SaSa has them for around $43.00) But when my package arrived they did not pack it   ='(  instead they packed me the Smooth Silk foundation in Ivory 202. I don't want to open it just incase it's not my shade. I have really light skin with warm and cool undertones =S

SANA Soya Milk Nameraka Nonpo Make Up Base

I think this is a primer. I've never used primer before so this would be my first one. Just starting out so don't want to spend too much and I usually trust Japanese brands for their quality. Around $9 =]

SANA Soya Milk Arbutin Toner

Needed a new toner so I'm just trying this out. It contains arbutin which is a whitening/brightening ingredient. It's going to be spring in Australia which means more sun and I tan easily. So I'm using some whitening products to maintain the colour of my skin.

Naris Up Wink Up Lasting Gel Liner

This is my first gel eyeliner. I'm just using this one first because it has a good price to it ($9.50) before I consider buying MAC or Bobbi Brown.

Koji Eye Talk

This is a double eyelid glue. I already have double eyelids but they aren't as visible as caucasian eyelids. However I'm gonna use this as eyelash glue =] Much cheaper than conventional eyelash glue because there is more product and it was only $6.50. It also has a brush tip applicator which makes applying the glue on the band fuss free and mess free =]

This is my gift with purchase. It's a headphone wire manager. It's soooo cute and practical =]

take care everyone and will do a review soon on my hauled products ♡

packages from Hong Kong

Yay! My packages came. I ordered hair velcro and eyelashes off eBay.
First package is the hair velcro. I think it was $3 or $4 for 10 pieces

The left one is from the package. The right one is by Japanese brand Dariya which I bought off SaSa earlier this year. I'm not too pleased with these ones. They don't have that much hold to them =( so I do NOT recommend these. Only buy the one that is by the Dariya brand. Why did I buy 10?  >.<

From another seller I bought 3 boxes of Taiwan made lashes. They feel soft but I think they are synthetic hair. The bands are alright I guess. They were $12 USD for all 2 including postage.

These are criss cross lashes which extend outwards giving eyes a more feminine look ^_^

Standard criss cross lashes
