TheSAEM eco soul 90˚ Mascara Review

A 90 degree mascara? How cool is that. A famous brand called TheSAEM invented this mascara where the wand is flexible. It is an innovative technology from France created for SAEM advanced formula mascara. Claims to provide your lashes a volumizing, curling and lengthening effects instantly. The 90˚ concept angle said that it can help to comb out tiny and hard to reach lashes on your lid. This mascara is formulated without any harsh chemicals, perfect for anyone who have sensitive eyes and problem using mascara with harsh chemical that cause redness and itchiness around your eyes. It has a micro carbon pigments that also helps to lengthen short lashes, also this mascara is said to be waterproof.

My thoughts. This mascara comes in a recycle type packaging box that most Korean makeup have. On the box itself it has a how to use pictorial with Korean text on it. The mascara tube it self has a paper like material design. As I open it, the mascara looks pretty much the same as any other mascara out there. To turn the mascara angle to 90˚, simply pull out the wand and push against the inside to change the angle. You don't need to use your hand, of course your fingers will cover up with the mascara liquid. The brush has a medium sized brush head with a narrow shape on the front. This makes application on the lower lash and on the corner of the lashes easily. I could say this mascara really thicken my lashes and it is really waterproof. You will need to use a makeup remover to removes this. So far I really like this mascara, I love how it lengthens and volumize my lashes, the 90˚ concept is brilliant too, the helps to apply a few coats of mascara faster and neater.

This TheSAEM eco soul 90˚ mascara retails for RM75.00 and available online at http://vanity.com.my/product/eco-soul-90-mascara/

Cure Bad Breath with OraBrush | Review

What is this thing? Pretty straight forward! This is OraBrush. It is a unique design tool with ultra soft bristles that helps to deeply clean your tongue pores by pulling out the bacteria. There is also a  built in scraper on top of it to help collect all the gunk. As seen on Jenny Claire Fox video on how she keeps her dental care on point! Brushing your teeth alone is not good enough as most bacteria are "collected" on your tongue 90% of bad breath comes from the tongue. It is hype all over YouTube and this is what my thoughts on it.

Some people say just use a tooth brush to clean your tongue, this is the method that I have been using and one thing I hate doing it is that it feels rough and the routine is pretty time consuming due to the small brush head on all toothbrush have, Then I found this, the OraBrush. The head is wide and made from soft bristles with a built in scraper. OraBrush works the same way as a surgical scrub brush and the handle are pretty much the same as a toothbrush. So it is a pretty simple product just with different brush head.

The bristles are made from a soft "silicone" like material. Perfectly to deeply scrape of the dirt of your tongue in just a few scrap. There is a scrapper on the back of some toothbrush but I felt like it does not do the job properly, with OraBrush the bristles are much wider and "taller" if you get what I mean. So it brushes of the dirt of my tongue easily and effectively.

You can see the different. All you have to do is use the brush and scrap from the upper part of your tongue and go downwards, then rinse of with water. This is just in one use. It took just a few seconds my tongue feel clean and I do feel much clean! You know that satisfied feeling after brushing your teeth, but with this after brushing my teeth, it felt much more satisfied!

Still confused? Watch this How to use OraBrush video here - link

OraBrush are available in Blue, Pink or Green and each retails for RM19.08.
Available at most Watsons stores or online - www.redquay.com
