I'm using Maybeline brand for many years but recently want to try Mistine's Black Shine after watching their ads on TV. Its price is so good that I'm wondering if it's any good or just so so. Is it waterproof?

Did any lady in this forum try this brand? Thanks for any reply.

I never try Mistine mascara, but i did try mistine 2 in 1 eyes liners and eyes shadow things. well for this product its handy but i feel like their eyes liners thing can be melt on my eyes lid under the heat. lol u can try their mascara and tell us. not too expensive to buy one and try it on i think.

PS i have heard of mistine since i was born... must have some quality or else they would disappear for ages...

Thanks LMP. I just love the discussion about cosmetics . With waterproofed Maybeline mascara, I feel after a long day for 10 hours, it melts a little and leaves a black mark on my upper eyelids. I'm looking for a better option and don't want the feeling that "I should have bought a Loreal with just a hundred Baht more". Have to admit that their eye shadows look so nice. My face make up powder (two way cake or similar) will be empty very soon so I need to buy new. Thinking of trying Mistine but still I am worried about the quality.

Have tried other brands but gotta say Lancome Definicils mas. is the BEST. But between Maybelline and Mistine - I would go for Maybelline.

Mistine is more economic, u know what i mean? just like Big C and Central.

I use Maybelline moose foundation and only finishn powder from Artisty(i took it from my mom) hahaha well it make my face look natural bight and fresh not look too much of make up on whic i dont like.

for my lips i use Lancome red(again i took it from my mom make up dress !!!) and just normal any lip palm or lips gross near my hand, i always just touch my lips with the red lancome (only softly touch) and than put the lips gross over it. result: my lips looks natural . i just dont like to look like i put many make up on.

if anyone have any tips please share me. ( i am learning to be more feminine heheheh)

I read your Platinum Mall topic and know you want to be more feminine. Me too I don't have the tomboy look but my body and face look "hard", not "soft" like many ladies. Since last year I started to wear skirt and dress again. When I was single and being naughty, I cut my hair super short like a boy. Not those boy singers we see on Channel V. They have girly hairs which make them look like girls.

Is there anything in between? BigC is too normal and Central is too high . When Central has a sale, I still can't buy a pair of shoes at 2400 Baht which was after 70% discount. Must be joking me. They're not brand new. Apparently people have tried them many times but don't buy.

Many brands pay too much for ads and rental fee which bring the cost up. I'm using make up power from BSC and feel it's just normal.

I saw that Artisty ads on TV. The model is the girl in the anti-cigarette ads "Leaw khun ma thum rai chan thum mai" remember? Is that Artisty finish powder good?

At home I use Nivea lip care, the no color type in blue pack and this works fine on me.

What a surprise that Cute Press lipstick is better than Maybeline lipstick.

I notice that a store in Siam Paragon has quite many famous brands made in China like Za..... so I don't dare to buy.

hahaha kool @ answer. my physical is faminine (not boobs tho) lol,but my personality dont, i always have male friends than girls friends anyway,

I start to wear skirt and high heels shoes not long ago, the shoes always like a silent killers, dont understand how could women wear this....

I use that blue nivea too. I dont dare to invest alot on make up or cosmatic things yet as im just a newbie of feminine world, i will need to learn it slowly...d amn complicated!!

funny

Cute Press is a good brand I think for make up and nail varnish and Lancome red... well Little M cool choice there I'd say. When I lived near Sirirat quite a few Thai women asked me about my lipstick and actually I used to buy it in the market at Sirirat - they were sold by Thai Air Hostesses

LMP, those high heel things!!! At work I must wear 6cm and not showing toes or heel. Feet are too tired after a day. I can't take shoes off as it looks not polite. I bring a flat pair so when I finish a day, I just change before going home.

Seonai, cosmetics air hostesses sell outside are all of good quality since they're made in hi-tech countries. I haven't got a chance to buy like that as I don't know where they sell or how to tell if they're real or not real. Did anyone visit Larn Jeh Leng near Don Muang? I passed a few times but felt not so convenient to stop.

I have been there but never buy anything there yet. because there are alot of cosmetics products from abroad(they told) and for as my little knowleadge of cosmetics things i donno which is real or fake so i dont bother. thats place is very small many ppl inside thro.

Thanks LMP for the Larn Jeh Leng info.

OK, girls, seeing their ads so attractive, I bought that waterproof Mistine mascara. Here are my comments:

Negative:

- It makes my eyelashes go up straight which is not beautiful. You know when you clip your lashes, you start from near the root--clip--go up a little--clip--go up a little--clip--your lashes are now curly. But when I used the Mistine mascara, it just made the lashes straight up. I wasted my time clipping. What you see in the ads are the models' artificial eyelashes.

- I washed if off by a regular facial foam. The true waterproof should be washed by an oil-based liquid. Wonder what will be if I catch a rain

- I will not buy Mistine mascara again. I'll stick with better brands next time.

- 4 grams so it will run out very soon. My current Maybeline has 10 ml. (Is 1 gram = 1 ml? I think so. If yes, Mistine is not cheap as we thought)

Positive:

+ I used 2 days in a row for 7 to 9 hours per day including one hour aerobics but it didn't leave black marks on the areas around the eyes. This is good.

+ Produced in Dec 2007. I don't like dated products.

+ I feel my lashes are not as heavy as when I used Maybeline.

+ Price 89 Baht.

+ Colors I saw at the minimart: black, blue, brown. I bought black.

+ The Mistine shape looks nice. I'm bored with Maybeline in fat and short shape

I forgot an important detail:

- With waterproof Maybeline mascara, when you just apply, if it touches your eyelid by mistake, you can use a cotton bud to wipe easily. When it's dry, you need a liquid to wash.

With Mistine mascara, when you just apply, you can't clean that easily. At least have to be a wet cotton bud.

I love a comprehensive review of products.

Thanks sbk. That's encouraging.

Gives me a good idea of the pluses and minuses and whether or not the product is worth my time, money and effort. I think I'll give Mistine a pass based on your review. I do like the Maybelline (girlx recommended it a year or so ago) but don't get to wear it too often as I always get comments from my husband about wearing makeup. Hmph!

Thanks for the reviews gals. Just to share a couple of other recommendations about Mascara....... kinda on topic!

THE GLAMOUR OPTION - For getting noticed!! - Dancing/Going out at Night time.

My sister-in-law sent me "BOURJOIS" Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara for Xmas - WOW - got some serious curly lashes with this one. Goes on smoothly if a little clumpy but you can tell you are wearing mascara and it's V.Glam! Always get comments on my eyes with this one!

THE DAILY OPTION - For work and a light covering

"BOOTS No 7" BRAND

1) CLEAR Lash & Brow perfector - SBK, nobody will even know you are wearing mascara with this one! Looking 'au natrel' but yet still having voluminous & clear lashes!

2) BROWN/BLACK Ultimate Sensitive Mascara - doesn't clump and not too cakey!

In the meantime, I am off to Singapore on Wednesday - guess what's on my shopping List??

NAVY BLUE Mascara which doesn't cake! NOt bright blue but subtle, navy blue. Wish me luck gals!

BTW, can anyone recommend any beauty salon in BKK which does eyelash tinting??? I usually get it done (navy blue) when I go back to Wales and it costs about 350-400bt and lasts about 6-8weeks. FAB! I have never seen it here though.......................??????

Its a Boots brand then? Hmmm... I have pretty short eyelashes so this sounds good. I guess it wouldn't give you raccoon eyes either since its clear?

Exactly SBK! Plus, if you don't already, maybe consider buying a pair of lash curlers (you can get tham at BOOTS too) Revlon do them and probably even Boots' own brand would be cheaper. Even if you have short or long eyelashes, you use these first and they really WAKE UP your eyes! You get a great curl!

Great for those days where you wanna look bright eyed and bushy tailed but without layering on loads of makeup (especially in the heat!).

Yep as it's clear, it doesn't run! MARVELLOUS PRODUCTS

Andiamo, I'm a bit lost here. "nobody will even know you are wearing mascara" so why bother?

I bought one (I call it clear mascara. I can't remember which brand) many years ago. After making lashes curly, this one helped keep the lashes in shape but has no color. After that I thought I used a kind of chemical anyway so why not use the real mascara. Mine is short so I like wearing the black color. What I don't like is at the end of the day, washing it off will make my eyes read temporarily and eyelashes fall sometimes. When I have little and short lashes, every single lash counts .

Haven't heard of "eyelash tinting". Is it "giving your eyelashes a new color like what people do to their hairs"?

Regarding "BOURJOIS" Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara, is Bourjois a brand name?

Did you buy a new mascara in Singapore yet?

I always get comments from my husband about wearing makeup. Hmph!

Sbk, why ? Doesn't he like you to wear makeup?

When I use mascara, my husband always smiles "Wah, did make up your eyes?" so I like having a little. I don't even use lipstick, just a lip gloss which has a very light pink color. This way after I eat, I just quickly wash mouth in the washroom and apply new lip gloss. With lipstick I must spend more time and husband is never patient to wait. At home I never make up as I'm lazy .

Can't stand the stuff. He considers it artificial. I consider it enhancement Besides, where I live, most women don't wear makeup.

Clear sounds good, if it makes my eyes look brighter without the obvious fake color of mascara.

My eyebrows and eyelashes are desperately thin and rare so I apparently look better when I use a little cosmetic. I also get comments from hubby when I draw too obvious eyebrows like what models are having. He says "like in cartoons"

People near my home wear make up and often very red lipstick. Someone has tattoo so they just need to wear baby powder and their make up is done

Thai people like to use "peng" (baby powder for instance) after having a shower so I often see white ghosts on the street . Their faces and necks are blo_dy white I have to laugh.

Hi Answer,

Actually I was replying to SBK as she mentioned that her husband commented if she applied mascara. I presumed she meant black/brown mascara as with these colours, we can all usually notice if other gals are wearing mascara.

So, I just meant to say....if you don't want to "advertise" that you are made up with mascara and want to look like a more "natural girl" , consider using the clear mascara!

The benefits are that your lashes will be curled and enhanced (especially if you combine with the eyelash curlers! - A double bonus!) AND you will look like you are NOT made up! Maintain the illusion that you are a Natural beauty and don't need Make up .

BTW, if you use the Boots Clear Mascara, you don't even need to use eye makeup remover to take it off - however, if you do, I have never had a reaction when taking it off!

Yep, eyelash tinting is changing the colour of your lashes and it lasts for between 6-8 weeks. It's wonderful as you can totally forget about having to use mascara! You can usually choose the colour! Do you know anyone here that does it in Bangkok?

Naaa, I didn't manage to get the navy blue mascara in Singapore - they only had the Swiss brand MAVALA which was waterproof and I don't like waterproof mascaras as they are horrendous to take off! BUT Marks & Spencers in Singapore had a WONDERFUL Lingerie Sale on and I bought black, lacy,sexy G strings for S$8 each (180baht!)

Oh and the answer to your last question - Yep - Bourjois is a brand name (It's French!).

Ciao all,

A HAPPY ANDIAMO COS SHE BOUGHT NEW SEXY M&S LINGERIE IN SINGAPORE

P.S. Ever tried putting Vaseline on your eyelashes before bed - maybe an old wives tale but that is what my Mum always taught me to (My lashes are long and curly! I blame it on the Vaseline! Why not give it a go...... ).

Edited February 1, 200818 yr by Andiamo

Hi there Andiamo,

Thanks for the Bourjois info.

Does that vaseline at night make eyelashes grow? My sister's lashes are long, black and curly but mine are not. Don't know who to blame

I've heard beauty salons can make lashes grow more and longer but I haven't tried yet. This is the first time I heard about eyelash tinting so, as you can tell, I don't know anything about it

M&S is a good brand. I'm crazy for lingerie too so I have waaaaaaaaaay too many sets Have to say these Wacoal underpants made in Thailand are so durable. I wear them for over 2 years and they're still in good shape. I must refrain myself from buying more.

Gee, I had a typo. It should have been RED eyes after cleaning off the waterproof mascara. I was at Central the other day and bought a facial day cream Elisees brand. The seller said their Elisees waterproof mascara doesn't leave black marks on eyes when being washed. This kind has a lot of short little black hairs mixed with the mascara liquid which helps to lengthen the lashes and they will go off in pieces when being washed.

Did any of you use this kind of any brand having tiny pieces? Thanks.
