[愛看書] 時尚的誕生 Viva! Fashion Designer***

自從香港有誠品之後我真係好開心! 除咗又多一個好去處之外,佢仲有好多唔同種類既書, 真係something for everyone! 我去誠品探訪過幾次, 亦都敗左幾本唔同類型既書! 當然我未睇哂啦, 不過今日想分享下我前幾日敗左既一本書先, 我覺得好好睇! 如果你對時尚名牌有興趣, 你就要睇落去喇。

(English:  Since the Taiwanese bookstore Elite came to HK, I have been really happy!  Apart from having one more place to hang out, it has a good selection of books and there is definitely something for everyone!  I visited Elite quite a few times and hauled quite a few books!  Of course, I haven’t finished them all, but I want to talk about one that I got a few days ago – I think it’s a brilliant read!  If you are interested in fashion, then you must read on!)

話說我敗呢本書既當日, 我係去睇第二d書, 點知當我轉身想去俾錢既時候, 我眼尾見到呢本書係架推車度(仲未上架), 個cover好吸引, 所以我即刻拎黎望下, 望咗唔夠三秒, 我就決定帶佢返屋企喇!!

(English:  The day when I hauled this book, I actually went to Elite for another book.  When I turned around and was about to go check out, I saw this book on a cart (still wasn’t put on shelf yet)!  The cover caught my attention and I immediately grabbed one and glanced through.  After about 3 secs, I decided to bring it home!)

時尚的誕生
Viva! Fashion Designer

 

價錢(Price):HK$160 @ 誠品 (Elite)

呢本書係一個韓國插畫家畫嘅,本身係韓文, 但係好彩被翻譯成中文, 如果唔係我都無得欣賞丫!! 呢本書係以漫畫形式去講時尚品牌既故事, 由佢地點樣去開始個品牌, 當中有咩重要人物對呢個品牌有貢獻, 同埋某d品牌點樣衰落同俾人買走等等!

(English:  This book is drawn/ written by a Korean artist so the original is in Korean!!  OMG, thank God that it got translated into Chinese, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to admire it!  This book talks about different fashion brands’ history in a comic format, starting from how they started the brand, who contributed greatly to the brand and how some of the brands experienced difficulties and got brought etc.!)

 

入面畫功好好, 同埋以漫畫形式去講故事(全部都係彩頁呀!!),感覺好新鮮有趣! 再加上文字部份都有抵死好笑既地方! 可以好輕鬆了解品牌背後既故事之餘又可以笑下,就算唔係時尚達人, 我覺得當係普通讀物都好過癮!

(English:  The drawings are great and using a comic format makes everything so lively and interesting (colorful prints inside)!!!  Plus, the wordings are actually funny and entertaining as well!  It allows you to understand the brand story in a very relaxing and fun way!  If you are not particularly into fashion, this could be treated as a leisure read as well!)

入面有26個我地都好熟識既品牌故事, 舉幾個例子:

(English:  There are 26 brands’ stories inside and many of the brands are very familiar to us, to quote a few examples:)

Hermes

 

第 一個品牌係Hermes, 我本身唔係Hermes既fans, 但係睇完之後我對佢既歷史好impressed, 亦都好欣賞佢地對工藝既堅持! 哈哈, 雖然佢既袋就真係好貴婦, 唔係人人都負擔得起, 但係我覺得讀咗佢個故事後, 我會以另外一個角度去欣賞佢地既作品!

(English:  The first story is about Hermes.  I cannot regard myself as Herman fan, but after reading its history, I am really impressed and admire their insistence on quality and art.  *Laughs*  Even though their bags are for the rich and not everyone can afford them, I could use another angle to admire their work after understanding how the brand comes about!)

Louis Vuitton

 

其實我唔可以話入面26個品牌我都愛, 但係當我了解佢地品牌之後, 我識得唔係以貴平靚唔靚黎去睇佢地既作品, 而係反而去了解下點解佢地會有咁既design, 個design同佢地既歷史有咩關係, 代表住咩呢等等!

(English:  Actually I cannot admit I am in love with all 26 brands, however, after reading their stories, I know how to admire their piece of art (instead of just judging if it’s expensive or if it looks great).  I try to understand why they would have this design and is there any association between the design and the brand, what the design presents and such!)

Burberry

 

雖 然好多人都有名牌產品, 但係好多人都覺得名牌產品係身份既象徵, 係炫耀身家既一個方式, 又有幾多人了解點解一個袋會係經典款式, 佢個設計係點樣inspire出黎? 我覺得睇咗呢本書, 你會有個大概既understanding, 幫你去從另一個角度去欣賞佢地既心思!

(English:  Though many people have got branded items, many people just see it as a representation of social status and wealth.  How many of those would understand why a classic is a classic?  Where was the design inspired from?  After reading this, you would have a basic understanding and it helps you to admire their work in another way!)
當然都有我最愛既Chanel啦!

Chanel既故事我未睇呢本書都已經知道喇, 我估係因為我成日見到Chanel既產品都會同佢既歷史掛鉤, 所以佢成為我其中一個大愛品牌! 你睇! 佢地既歷史真係會影響我有幾鍾意一個品牌呀!! 哈哈!!

(English:  I studied Chanel’s story because I read this book, so I got some understanding.  Every time when I see Chanel products, I would associate them with the brand’s history and I guess that’s why I am so in love with Chanel!  You see, a brand’s history would help you to appreciate their stuff more!!! *Laughs*)

如果你係好鍾意名牌產品, 但係你又唔太了解品牌既由來, 我真係超推呢本書俾你!!當然喇, 就算你唔係熱愛名牌, 但係你同我一樣都想知多d, 我都覺得呢本書好啱睇呀!! 簡直係輕鬆益智讀物!! 正!!

(English:  If you are in love with fashion brands, and you don’t quite understand where they are coming from, I highly recommend this book to you!!  Of course, if you are not a fashion maniac, but you want to know more (just like me), this is a good book to start with!  It’s light-hearted yet informative!! Brilliant!!)

P.S. 其實我都未睇完本書, 因為我唔想一次過睇完(會好失落), 所以我每晚都只係睇一至兩個故事! 不過我睇完兩個故事既時候已經超想同大家分享喇!! 哈哈!! 我真係超愛呢本書丫!!! 我仲敗咗其他書,到時睇完再同大家分享下啦! 你地有無睇開書呢? 如果有, 睇咩多呀?

(English: P.S.  Actually I haven’t finished the book yet because I don’t want to finish it in one go (would feel lonely after), so I read 1-2 stories per night to make it last!!  BUT, I so wanted to share this book with you when I was on the 2nd story *laughs*!!!  See, told you, I love this!!!  I got other books as well and I will talk about them later!  Do you have a habit to read?  If so, what kind of books do you read the most?)

[保養] Aesop潤咀Rosehip Seed Lip Cream***

之前敗既兩個Aesop set當中,有一枝Lip Cream。唔經唔覺我都差唔多用完咁濟,又講下佢得唔得先! 當日BA講解呢隻野既時候,佢話好好用,係cream狀,吸收得到,同埋用完唔會笠咀之餘,仲會深層修護,唔會有死皮!聽完個下當然好興奮啦,我個咀超乾!敗完個晚即用喇。

There was a lip cream inside the two sets I hauled from Aesop previously. Time flies, I almost use it up and its time to put up a review on this. When BA talked about this product, she mentioned that it was one of the star products. It has a creamy texture, easily to absorbed and it wont make the lips sticky. It also deeply moisturizes the lips and it would prevent dead skin. After hearing all the benefits, of course I was really excited because I have absolute dry lips! I started using it once I got home!)

 

Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream


價錢(Price):HK$110/ 6ml

 

Product Information:

“This Vitamin E-rich, lightweight cream – formulated for the delicate and sensitive skin of the lips – replenishes moisture, soothes and softens lips. It contains no silicone or paraffin, and is formulated for frequent use.”

 

Texture:

使用次數(No. of Usage):40 times

用後感:我同我朋友都有用呢枝產品,我朋友就覺得唔錯,但係我就覺得好一般(可能我個咀太乾?)! 無錯,佢個質感真係幾好,係cream狀,會被吸入個咀入面,一d都唔笠。 但係我搽完個一個鐘會覺得好乾,要補! 同埋我係夜晚用,第二朝起身都真係好乾,同埋我覺得d死皮無減少到(仲有個感覺多咗!)。 我覺得呢枝野真係唔啱我喇,我都係要用d潤爆既潤咀膏先得! 你見我呢枝都就快俾我玩完,我諗住玩完就算喇,唔會回購。夏天我用都咁乾,冬天實唔得啦!! 如果你個咀同我一樣咁乾我就真係唔建議喇!我建議你用雪花秀好過!

(English: Product Review: My friend and I both have this lip cream. My friend thinks its brilliant but my feeling is just so-so (maybe because my lips are way too dry?)! Right, the texture is really good, its a cream texture and it gets absorbed into the lips. Lips wont feel greasy afterwards BUT mine feel rather dry after 1 hour of application! I use it during night time and I find that the next day when I wake up, my lips are dry! I dont feel that it helps to prevent the dead skin (rather there are more dead skin now than before)! I dont feel that this is a great product for me, I just have to revert to some super moisturizing lip care product! You see in the picture that I almost finish using this product. When I use it up, I wont repurchase! I use it in the summer time and my lips are this dry and I dont think it would sustain me better in the winter. If you have super dry lips like mine, I wont recommend this product to you! I would recommend you to use Sulwhasoo Lip Care instead!)

[保養] 學生哥啱用嘅韓國Skinfood洗面產品***

嘩,都敗咗Skinfood既野好一段時間喇。 又隔咗咁耐先出文,真係對唔住大家!哈哈! 我其實都少用韓國產品,原因好簡單,真係花多眼亂!不過未來嘅日子,我應該會試多d韓國野! 講開又講,雖然我唔係成日試韓國化妝品護膚品,但係我反而好欣賞韓國嘅衫同造型!

(English: Oh, it’s been awhile since I last hauled at Skinfood and it’s definitely been a long while before I write about the products!  Please excuse my lateness!  *Laughs*  I seldom try Korean brands because there are way too many brands out there with similar concepts, sometimes I just don’t know what to pick!  However, I believe in the near future, I would be trying more Korean brands.  BTW, even though I haven’t tried Korean skincare and makeup that much, I do love Korean style and clothes – they are really fab!)

好! 今日先講個洗面野先~我記得呢枝野係我買野送嘅!呀! 講講下呢個牌子,我突然間又記起佢有枝落眼妝嘅野超好用,哈,屋企無貨,等我再去入貨先。唔。入返正題先!

(English:  Fine, let me talk about the cleanser that I got from Skinfood.  I recalled that this one was a gift or something!  Ahhhhh….now that I talk about this brand, I suddenly remember that they have a really good makeup remover, I should really get some! Hmmmm….ha….let me get back on track first:)

使用次數(No. of Usage):30 times

用後感:呢隻洗面枝出嚟已經係泡泡狀,d泡 泡都好豐盈同埋個質感好密好實。我夏天比較鍾意用泡泡洗面,原因係通常夏天感覺好潮濕,出街塊面會痴咗唔少塵,所以我夏天會比較鍾意用強力少少嘅洗面產 品。呢隻洗面有淡淡嘅蜂蜜氣味,聞落幾舒服!洗面既時候我覺得佢洗得乾淨得嚟唔會令皮膚好乾。但係就無咩特別其他功效。我覺得如果皮膚係油性/中性,夏天 用呢個產品比較適合。如果學生哥皮膚唔大問題,我覺得用呢個都好好,唔會過強過弱。當然啦,正價我就覺得唔係好抵,事面上都有產品平過呢隻,但係都好好 用。不過如果係做promo/去韓國就可以買枝嚟用喇!

(English: Product Review: It’s in foam texture and the foam itself is quite thick and solid.  I love using foam cleansing products in the summer time because it’s usually very humid here and I always suspect that there is so much dirt on my face after going out.  Therefore, I love using cleansing products that maybe cleanse a bit better.  This foam cleanser has a light honey scent and it’s quite relaxing.  I feel that it cleans really well without drying out the skin.  Other than this, there is no other particular function!  If your skin is oily to combination or normal, then it works really great in the summer time for you.  If you are a student without major skin problem, I would really this to you as well because its cleansing power is not too strong nor weak.  Of course, for the original price, I don’t think it’s worth that much, as there are other cheaper products in the market which work just as well, if not better.  You could consider getting this when there is a promotion or when you go to Korea!)

[化妝] 百搭眼影盤 The Balm Nude Palette***

自從我知道有呢盒眼影盤之後,我就差唔多一個星期行兩次Sasa睇下佢地入左呢盒野未。終於有一日我見佢地入咗, 我即刻拿拿聲拎起一盒去俾錢。

(English: Since I know about this eyeshadow palette, I couldnt stop thinking about it and I even went by Sasa twice a week to see if they had this palette. Finally, I saw it sitting in Sasa one day, I immediately picked it up and paid for it!)


我之前無咩點用開The Balm既產品,我見佢d包裝好靚, 都有心動過,但係最終我又無試(次次都係買咗其他野)。不過今次呢盒Nude Palette真係燒得我好緊要,同埋我上YouTubed評價都好唔錯,所以即刻敗! 睇下試色相先~

(English: I havent really tried any of The Balms products before. I know it has the most amazing packaging and I was tempted, but then I didnt up buying their products almost every single time. However, this Nude Palette stole my heart plus there were so many rave comments on YouTube about this palette, how could I not try? Lets take a look at some pics and swatches now~)


The Balm Nude Palette

 

價錢(Price):HK$340@

一盒入面有12隻色!

(English: There are 12 colors in the palette!)

 

 

使用次數(No. of Usage):10 times

簡單用後感: 成個Palette最燒我既原因係佢既顏色組合好好!有齊深色同淺色,要裸妝或者Smokey Eyes都無問題,一盒搞掂哂! 閃同唔閃既顏色都有,可以互相配搭,同埋互相tune down翻, 唔會一味得個閃字! 最令我impress既地方係佢真係超級上色,搽少少就好出色!佢亦都唔係好飛粉,所以quality黎講就真係無得頂!如果講價錢,我覺得佢係中價位啦,好貴又唔算,但又唔係話平到好似drugstore brand咁。我覺得可以接受。 如果你屋企無呢類型既眼影,我會建議你買呢盒。又或者你係初初玩化妝, 我都推介呢盒丫,咁你初初可以玩住d淺色先,到confidence大咗就可以玩下d深色喇。 真係正!突然間好興幸自己買咗呢盒野添!!

(Quick Product Review: I got so tempted by this Nude Palette because the combination of colors is excellent. It has both light and dark colors, it’s perfect for creating different looks – from natural to smokey. Also, it has both shimmery and matte colors, therefore, we can mix and match and sometime tune down the shimmery effect with the matte colors as well. The most impressing thing for me is that the shadows are highly pigmented. Only a tiny bit goes a long way. The powder quality is really amazing and it doesn’t have a lot of fall-out! For the price, I would say it’s mid-ranged. It’s not hitting the ridiculous price tag but it’s not the cheapest palette that you could get from drugstores. I think the price is really acceptable (given the quality is wonderful). If you don’t have anything similar at home, I would suggest you get one. Or if you are starting out to play with makeup, I would really recommend this one as well. Then you could start off with some lighter colors and after you get your confidence up, you could start playing with the darker colors!!)

註:我係去銅鑼灣翡翠明珠對面個間Sasa買呀。 我見有某d Sasa都有呢個品牌,如果你有興趣不妨去望下丫!不過咁, 我上次係Facebook Page講完話我買左之後,我過兩日再去Sasa 諗住幫個friend買一盒,但係已經sold out晒。如果見唔到應該係sold out 等一等應該會返貨!

(English: Remarks: I went to the Sasa which is opposite to JP MCL cinema. The Balm is available in some other Sasa as well. So if you are interested in the brand, you could drop by and check it out. However, I talked about I bought this on Facebook Page a couple weeks ago and I revisited the same Sasa after a couple days, thinking that I would be able to help my friend get one. Ha….it’s sold out! Don’t worry if you don’t see it around, it’s probably sold out, just be patient and I am sure the stock will be replenished soon!)

[保養] 終極膠原蛋白 ♥ Ultima II***

Ultima II最出名係膠原蛋白產品好多人都知。 我之前都試過佢某d產品。 但係佢最出名嘅黑樽, 紅樽, 金樽我就未試過。  上個星期收到佢地話想我試下佢地嘅黑樽仔, 我當然係好有興趣啦, 試完如果真係好正, 就可以好安心去回購(呵呵, 其實我有兩次都好想敗, 但係我次次行過都同自己講未試過唔知work唔work,所以又打消咗念頭, 你知啦, 佢個價錢都真係好貴婦麻!)。

 

(English:  Utima II is well-known for its collagen products.  I tried a few of their items before, but I haven’t got around to try their most renowned black/ red/ gold bottles.  Last week, I got an invitation to try their black bottles, I was absolutely excited because if it really works on my skin, then I could haul them without worrying that they won’t be a good fit (well, there were a couple times I wanted to haul them, and then I wasn’t sure if it was that good, so I gave up – as all of you know that their prices are more of a royal price tag!!)

今次試呢隻係3枝黑樽裝嘅版本。 佢蘊含90%高濃度膠原蛋白分子,加上法國最頂尖Dynalift™膠原肌膚還原科技, 給肌膚徹底滋潤、毛孔極速緊緻!  講到真係好勁咁呀!  收到個日我已經超心急, 左望右望。 勁想快d返屋企去試喇!

 

(English:  This time, I got to try the black bottles (3-bottle version).  It contains 90% of Pure Marine Collagen and a blend of cutting-edge ingredients, including Dynalift™.  It delivers smooth, supple and resilient skin.  All sound really good!!  I was so impatient the day I received this, I wanted to get home and try them out ASAP!)

 

 

加埋係法國製造! 無咩好擔心啦!

使用次數(No. of Usage):7 days

 

用 後感: 可唔可以用”不得了”嚟形容?  我第一次用個陣,係用差唔多半枝嘅份量去按摩皮膚(面同頸)! 嘩,按一小陣就吸sa。 仲要即時感覺到好緊(尤其係頸嘅位置)。 唔係講笑! 吸完之後我感覺到皮膚超滑,我總癲到係咁叫Mr Honey摸我塊面, 佢都問我搽咗咩鬼搞到”線”手!! 第一日已經好驚喜。  雖然我d毛孔唔大, 但係如果係超近距離, 我係見到我有d水滴型嘅毛孔。 原因簡單, 因為年紀越嚟越大, 無敵地心吸力嘅威力, 肌膚無以前咁緊緻。 正常嘅, 無理由人會唔老麻。 唯有用多d抗老產品去延遲佢啦! 我用咗呢個一星期, 唔單只皮膚線手,最正係我見d毛孔細咗好多, 同埋無咁水滴型喇。 讚讚讚! 同埋皮膚超有彈性, 有種豐盈感! 超有效!! 真係超級推!!  我最鍾意佢嘅效果好明顯, 用第一次已經feel到個difference, 用多幾次就已經見到效果! 貴婦價錢唔係問題, 最緊要效果快靚正!! 就係因為呢點, 佢已經成為我大愛膠原蛋白產品啦!

 

(English:  After-use Comment:  Can I use “OMG” to sum up?  The first time I used it, I used around half a bottle to massage on my face and neck!! OMG!!  It got absorbed really quickly and skin felt more resilient almost instantly (especially the neck area).  No kidding.  After it got absorbed, skin became exceptionally smooth and I was so hyper that I kept asking Mr Honey to touch my face!!  He asked what I applied to get this super smooth skin.  It was really surprising on the first day.  Well, my pores are not huge, but when I look at them really closely, I see their shape being like “water drops”.  That’s a sign of aging because as you get older, your skin loses elasticity and it can’t fight against gravity anymore.  Well, it’s perfectly fine as everyone gets old, right?  But it doesn’t harm to delay aging a bit with some wonderful products.  I have been using the black bottles for a week, not only the skin feels so much smoother, also the pores look a lot smaller and rounder.  Amazing!!!  Skin is resilient and supple!!  It’s really effective!!  I highly recommend it!!  I love the fact that it’s really effective within such a short period of time.  The royal price tag is not a problem if it works quickly, effectively and wonderfully!!  It becomes my beloved collagen product!!!)

 

後話: 用完晒三枝個感覺超失落!! 等我去完日本返嚟再去掃貨!! 你地應該會未來幾個月會見我再敗佢返嚟。 哈哈! 我對佢金樽(眼用)都好有興趣丫, 有sis係Facebook話俾我知金樽都好堅!!

 

(English:  Side-story:  I felt kinda sad after finishing the 3 bottles.  Let me return from Japan first and then I would go there and haul.  I think you will see these products on my blog/ video again very soon!  *Laughs*  Right…I am really interested in the golden bottle (for eyes) as well as a sister told me on Facebook that it works really great!!)

[保養] 又保濕又美白嘅 ♥ fresh牡丹煥白潤膚精華***

呢期真係熱愛用美白產品,但係我對美白產品都好多要求。 又要唔令我敏感, 又可以補濕得嚟仲要有效果。 我都知我真係要求多多!! 根據我過往嘅美白經驗, 通常美白野都唔係好做到補濕, 但係而家科技咁好, 我諗想要呢個效果應該唔難!  點知, 我有日收到fresh嘅資訊(我係member呀!), 望望下非常心動。

(English: Recently, I love using whitening products but I am also very picky in choosing my whitening essence.  It has to be sensitive skin friendly, hydrating and effective.  I know I know I probably have a too long of a wish list.  Well, based on my previous “whitening experience”, many whitening products are not hydrating enough.  Hmmm… with the improvement made in technology, I believe we could have a kinda universal product very soon.  You know what?  I received a mail today from fresh (I am a member) ….and I admit that I was really tempted….)

 

 

 

 

佢地新出左隻Peony Whitening Essence, 除咗美白之外仲有補濕功效! 跟住你都知故事係點啦! 我帶咗佢返屋企!

(English:  They released a new product called Peony Whitening Essence.  Apart from whitening function, it claims to be hydrating as well!!  Well then you know how the rest of the story goes… I brought it home!)

fresh牡丹煥白潤膚精華
fresh Peony Whitening Essence

 

 

價錢(Price):HK$610/ 30ml

我返到屋企第一時間開咗嚟用(咩相都未影,哈哈, 我真係好心急!)。 你都知我通常試野都試好耐先寫文, 但係我今次唔可以再係咁, 如果唔係夏天都過我先講美白野就過sa期喇(笑)!!

(English: I started using it almost immediately (hadn’t even taken any pics – so impatient!!)  You know I usually take a long time to test out a product before I release a blog post, but I kinda promise myself that I won’t do it this time, otherwise summer products turn into winter products!!)

哈哈, 我用左三日, 不如我先好簡短咁講下我用左三日嘅感覺先丫。 等我用夠一個兩個星期就再分別講下皮膚有無變化。

(English: I have been using it for 3 days.  Let me sum up my comments briefly and then I will write a follow-up piece after 1-2 weeks to update you on the skin condition changes.)

用後感(三日): 我先講佢個補濕功效, 因為呢個效果比美白效果快睇到!  佢個質感唔厚重, 但係就帶到比皮膚濕潤嘅感覺。 我搽咗佢三日, 皮膚好明顯無用其他美白野咁乾。 第二日起身, 摸一摸皮膚都仲覺得好夠濕潤,感覺似搽咗保濕產品一樣。 正! 最正係因為佢夠補濕, 所以我第二日化妝, 上妝又易又貼!

(English: After-use Comments (3-day):  Let me talk about its hydrating function first since this takes a shorter time than whitening.  Its texture is not heavy but it brings a hydrating feeling to skin.  I have been using it for 3 days and it’s obviously more hydrated than just using other whitening products.  When I wake up the second day, skin still feels wonderfully moisturized.  Ha – it actually feels like I have applied some hydrating products on.  Great!!  I feel that my makeup stays on really well the next day…yay!!!)

哈哈, 初步感覺真係唔錯。 當然佢身為美白精華, 最主要當然係美白效果強唔強啦! 我會過多幾日再同大家做多個分享!  唔好擔心, 等我!!

(English: *laughs*  The first feeling is nice.  Well, being a whitening essence, of course I have to check out if the whitening function is good enough.  Let me use it a few more days and I will update again!  Don’t worry, just wait for me *winks*!!)

Fresh + Chantecaille 敗家之旅***

其實想試Fresh同Chantecaille都有好一段時間, 但係因為價錢太過恐怖既關係 (你地都知我唔會淨係買一兩野就走得人個d人黎ga啦, 成日都好似要同人地清倉先安落咁~), 所以我見到佢地counter都會彈開.  不過, 呢期有d覺得成日見黎見去都係個d brands, 真係好悶, 好想搵d新衝擊, 咁Q又真1有d野用完左要買 (屋企無貨lu), 所以做完一輪research之後就去左佢地兩個counter找死喇 (你一陣就知點解我咁講).  先去Fresh, 後去Chantecaille…走完兩個地方就帶左下面堆寶貝離開喇:

 

(English:  I have been wanting to try Fresh and Chantecaille products for a long time, however, their prices always scare me away (you all know I won’t just haul 1 or 2 items, I have to clear everything to feel like I have actually hauled something *laughs*), therefore, it’s best for me to stay away from their fabulous counters.  Well well well, these days, I feel that I have lost interest in most of the brands – kinda boring, I want something new something interesting something I haven’t tried before.  What a coincidence that I have used up some of the items in my place and I haven’t got any stock!  I did some research and decided to commit suicide at their counters (you will know what I meant in a bit).  First stop was Fresh and followed by Chantecaille, I hauled the following….)

 

 

你而家明我點解話找死啦?  本身去兩個counter諗住係敗3樣野, 點鬼知複製左咁多野出黎.  真係血留成河…不過算啦, 應該全部都好好用 (自我安慰當中….哈哈…).  不過逐樣睇下係咩黎丫, 麻煩睇片喇:

 

(English: Now you understand what I meant by “committing suicide at their counters”.  Originally I wanted to get 3 items at the 2 counters and I ended up with what!  A BAG OF STUFF!!  I felt so sorry towards my purse, but what the hell, we all need a bit of treat from time to time.  What’s more is that I do believe every one of them would work well (yea I am comforting myself haha).  Well, let me go through each one with you in the video:)

好用睫毛夾***

有d野真係買左好耐又用左好耐, 但係都未同大家分享 (係我記性唔好啦, 而家都唔係好記得邊d講左邊d未講…).  唔知大家有無睇我一月個陣既Birthday Haul Video, 未睇而家可以睇翻:

 

(English:  I hauled so many stuff before and some of them are left un-mentioned even though I have been using them for quite awhile (it’s mainly because of my lapse of memory, I can’t even recall if I have talked about a certain product or not).  Not sure if you have watched my Birthday Haul video back in January, if you haven’t, please enjoy now:)

入面都有幾多野我係未講, 其中有一樣係Koji既Curving Eyelash Curler.  今日我就想同大家分享下我用左佢幾個月後既comment先 (其他野又要等等我):

 

(English:  I still haven’t talked about everything inside the video and one of them is Koji Curving Eyelash Curler.  Let me share my comments with you today as I have been using it for a good few months (for other items, you know you have to wait for me again):)

使用次數 (No. of Usage): 4 months (use daily)

 

用 後感:  我呢隻係無彈弓既, 因為我有個friend叫我唔好買有彈弓個隻, 佢話唔係咁好用wor.  我初初用佢有少少驚會夾到眼皮, 因為我見佢個弧度比Shiseido既小.  咁買左無理由唔用ma.  我試完之後覺得佢個弧度好fit Asian eyes (我地對眼無鬼妹個d咁深, 用Revlon個d會夾唔到d睫毛).  佢夾得到eyelash既根部之餘又唔會夾到眼皮, 正呀!!  同埋佢成枝野都做得好實正, 夾個陣唔會遙下遙下咁.  最重要係用佢夾出黎既眼睫毛個curl度好好, 同埋因為佢夾到根部既關係, eyelash個curl度都會keep到耐d, 唔會咁易跌落黎 (當然呢點都同你用既mascara有關啦~).  So far, 我覺得好好用wor, 唔貴得黎又有理想效果.  Asian用就真係無得頂.  而家我有少少心動買埋佢有彈弓個隻做比較.  推呀!!!  如果你想買隻新既睫毛夾, 可以試試呢隻呀!!

 

(English:  This one doesn’t consist of a spring, as my friend asked me not to try the one with the spring, so I opted for this design instead.  At first, I was quite scared that it would hurt my eyelids as I discovered that its curve degree is somewhat less than the Shiseido one.  Well, I got it, there wasn’t any reason not to give it a go!  After I tried it, I totally fell in love with it.  Its curve perfectly fits Asian eyes (our eyes are not as deep as foreigners’, so if we use Revlon one, it’s not going to be very effective at all).  It curls my eyelashes (even the roots) nicely without hurting my eyelids.  Fabulous!  Also, I quite like the fact that the whole thing is solidly built, it doesn’t feel shaky on hand when I curl my lashes.  The most important thing is the eyelashes curl wonderfully after using this.  Because it helps curl the roots of the lashes, it actually helps the curl to last longer (well, it also depends on which mascara you are using).  So far, I love this tool!  It’s not expensive and it works really well – what’s not to love about it?  It’s perfect for Asians.  Now I am really tempted to get that one with the spring design just for a comparison.  Highly recommended!  If you are heading out for a new eyelash curler, you might want to put this on your list!)

The Not-So-Good & Not-That-Bad Eye Makeup Remover***

之前一向都用開Biore Cleansing Oil (回顧按此), 一路都覺得唔錯, 所以對佢個牌子既落妝野都有信心 (落妝紙除外).  先前佢地出左Biore既Eyes & Lips Makeup Remover, 我就買左黎試喇.  話咁快又用完一枝, 都係時候同大家share我既感覺喇 .

(English:  I had been using Biore Cleansing Oil (refresh memory) and thought it was a good item.  Therefore, I am quite confident about Biore’s products (urgghhh except the makeup removing wipes).  They released a new product – Biore Makeup Remover for Eyes & Lips and I couldn’t wait to try it.  I have just used up a bottle and think it’s about time to share my comments.

使用次數 (No. of Usage): Finished 1 bottle

用後感:  我唔睇都唔知原來佢地講到隻野咁勁 .  呢隻野個質地唔係好油, 抹落隻眼個時唔覺得油lup lup.  佢卸眼影, lipstick, lipgloss個d無咩問題, 仲落得幾乾淨.  但係當佢落mascara個陣我就覺得佢唔夠快喇.  唔知係我d mascara太強定點 (我都係用Hello Kitty x Maybelline jor wor)?  我用佢落mascara, 佢落得唔算好乾淨, 同埋要慢慢(真係好慢)落先會落得sa.  我用用下都想快d用完佢算喇.  佢既好處係用左佢之後eye area唔會油lup lup, 容易出油脂粒既人都應該用得到.  但係唔好處係落mascara真係落得唔清同埋要用比較長既時間.  我自己就唔會回購喇, 因為我無咩耐性.

(English:  After-use Comment:  Well, I thought the description of the product was a bit over the top!  Its texture is not greasy, so when I used it on my eye areas, I didn’t feel greasy at all.  For removing eyeshadows, lipsticks and lipglosses, it surely does a great job.  It removes the mentioned thoroughly.  However, when I used it on mascaras, I don’t think it removes everything in a timely manner.  Not sure if my mascaras are too stubborn (mine is Hello Kitty x Maybelline)?  I used Biore to cleanse the mascara and it doesn’t remove every trace and it takes so long to finally remove everything (unbearably slow …).  After awhile, I just thought, “I hope to finish this thing really soon and start something new!”  The best part about this product is that it doesn’t leave your eye areas greasy but the not-so-good part is it takes a long time to remove mascaras.  I don’t think I’d repurchase this item since I max out my patience quota.)

P.S. 好爽呀, 終於用完呢枝Biore!!  我而家諗緊開我屋企邊隻Eye Makeup Remover好!  我有Andrea Eye Q (其實我之前用過lu, 不過個時未寫blog!  上次行過見到再買翻黎諗住可以同大家share) 同埋Maybelline.  可能我會用Andrea Eye Q先 !

(English:  P.S.  Awesome!  I finally finished this Biore thingy!  Now, I am thinking which Eye Makeup Remover to use!  I have Andrea Eye Q (actually I used it before but I wasn’t writing any blog at the time!  Last time I passed by Sasa and thought of grabbing one so I could do a post about it) and Maybelline Express Eye Makeup Remover at home… hmmmm… maybe I’ll use Andrea Eye Q first?!)
