Eye Lashes Extension Treatment by Pink Passion – I don’t feel fake at all!!




Hola Beautylicious. There is a quote saying that “Eyes are the Window to the Soul”. From the look of the Eyes it would reveal everything from your heart. However, Gorgeous Eyes are not hard to get with Pink Passion Eye Lashes Extension Treatment!!!.

I was contacted by Maggie Lim of Pink Passion to try myself the Eye Lashes Extension Treatment. Previously I heard lots about other people feedback about losing their natural lashes after the treatment. So I was bit uncertain to try it. However, after been reading lots of review from my blogger buddies, I was so tempted to try it. Well Why not right? It’s a chance once in a lifetime.

Pink Passion is located at Sunway Mas Commercial Centre, Petaling Jaya. If you are familiar with Kayu Aman Suria, Yup, it’s just around there. 



When I reached there I was welcomed by two lovely ladies, i.e. Ms Reinie and Ms. Hui San. After registered my name at the counter, I was ushered to the treatment room. There, I asked few questions related to the treatment. I was attended by Ms. Reinie.

The Treatment Room
I gathered that for the eye lashes extension, there are about three types of eye lashes differentiate by the length i.e. 8mm, 10mm and 12mm (the longest). Each pieces is band at one end with three pieces of silk eyelashes. Yup that’s right. The material used to produce the extension is SILK. The eyelashes look can be arranged depending on how thick and how fuller you want to be. Since that this is my first time, Ms. Reinie suggested me to try the 8mm first. Ms Reinie further added that there are some customer who wanted to have dramatic and fuller look, Pink Passion would add another layer of extension to reach the desired look.



I had mascara layer on so Ms Reinie removed it first. Then she analysed my lashes and commented the following:-

1.       My right eye lashes appears shorter than my left eye lashes.
2.       There are gaps in between my right eye lashes
3.       The composition of lashes at my both eyes are not even.

To my surprise, I never thought that my eyelashes are so “cacat”. Lol. This is because I frequently apply mascara to elongate my lashes and draw thick eyeliners to cover my imperfection. Sometimes, I did not follow the right procedure to remove the mascara from my lashes during cleansing routine. Not only that, I tends to rub my eyes too!! I know, it’s my bad. Well, nobody perfect right? 

Then Ms Reinie performed the treatment starting with my left lashes. She pasted a layer of white tape at my lower lashes to assist the application much easier. 


During the treatment process, I asked few questions to Ms Reinie and she responded patiently. (Lol ~ I can be too talkative sometimes).

These were my questions to her:-

1.       How long you’ve been working here?
-          I’ve been working here for 5 years.

2.       Wow, so that’s mean Pink Passion has been established for more than 5 years then?
            -          Yes.


3.       How long is the treatment process?
-         The treatment process would take around 45 minutes to one hour. Depends on the types of lashes and look preferred by customer.

4.       How long the lashes extension will stay?
-      Depending on how you take care of the lashes. Make sure you do not expose it to the heat. E.g. Not recommended to Sauna as this will melt the glue. Then, do not rub the eyes and the facial cleansing procedures need to be done in more delicate way especially eyes area. 
-     If you follow the procedures above, the lashes could stay more than a month. However, depending on where the lashes is stick, when the natural lashes grows, it would cause uneven lashes and affects the look as well. Hence, it is advisable to remove and re-apply the treatment.

5.       Can the lash extension be self-removed?
-    The extension cannot be self-removed at home. The removal procedure must be arranged at the saloon. For the removal process, Pink Passion would charge RM50.00 and it would take around 20 minutes to half an hour. There are some cases where customer removed themselves by plucking the eye lashes and as the results, their natural eye lashes never grows back!

6.       How long is period for the natural lashes to grow?
-        Natural lashes would reach its maturity period within 60 – 90 days. Then it will drop by itself. It then will be replaced by new baby lashes depending on its rotating period.

7.        What type of glue that you used to stick the extension?
-        This glue is specially made to stick the extension to the natural lashes and it would stay up to 1 month depending on how you take good care of it (go back to my earlier question 4 - lol). 

8.       How long to wait till the glue dries after the treatment?
-          You need to let the glue dries for at least 5 minutes. Keep closing your eyes.
      9.     Do you provide the lashes extension treatment to the lower lashes?
             -      No

After the treatment completed, I was left to rest with my eyes closed. Well, I didn’t really close my eyes as I still peeped at my watch to see the time. Lol. After 15 minutes, Ms Reinie came back and removed the white tape. Then, she asked me to open my eyes.

My first experience with extension lashes on:-

-       When I first opened my eyes, I feel my lashes bit tight. Maybe caused by the glue sticking the extension with my natural lashes. Then I feel like having a small roof sticking to my eye lid but to my surprised it’s not heavy at all. After a while, I can immediately adjust to it. When I touched it, yeah it’s a bit stiff and I feel like having a plastic layer attached to my eyelid.


How do I feel about the extension lashes personally?

-    To be honest, my eyelashes is now fuller than before. The gap that were seen earlier is much covered and Ms. Reinie and Ms Hui San did a good job to cover my imperfection. My lashes still look natural and I don’t feel fake at all!!

Are you ready to see Final Result?

The Final Result - Pardon my oily face yeaa...
Any difficulties I faced wearing the lashes extension?

-      Since that this is my first time wearing it, I still in the midst of adjusting myself with this new lashes. I need to change my norm habit dealing with my eyes to ensure the extensions would last longer.

-    I treat my eyes with more care now. No more rubbing my eyes and after washes my face, I will pat my face especially at my eyes area with towel slooowwlyyy... hurm - really take ages tho... 

Do’s and Don’ts when wearing eyelashes extension

Do’s

-          Do flare them with natural or heavy eye make-up. Up to your choice.


-      Do remove your eye make-up with eye make-up remover and use the cotton bud carefully as it would not stick and attached to your extensions and damage it.


-     Do wash your face in circular motion especially at the eyes area. Avoid pitching the eye lashes


-     Do sleep facing up so that the eyelashes is not squeeze to the pillow and damage its natural curl.


-       Do check your eyelashes after the treatment to ensure your eyelashes are even or almost similar to avoid any imperfection.

Don’ts

-          Don’t rub your eyes. Because of the glue, the material is bit stiff so if you rub your eyes, you will feel slight pain. If you still rub, you may accidentally pluck your natural lashes and it may not grows back!


-          Don’t apply mascara at the eyelashes with extension – It will be difficult to remove it


-          Don’t use cotton pad when removing eye make-up as the cotton will stuck in between extensions and natural lashes caused the process to remove it may damage the extensions.


-          Don’t expose your eyes to the heat e.g. sauna as the heat would melt and defect the glue.


-          Don’t use eyelash curler to curl it as it would break the lashes – the extension and natural lashes caused it to be thicker and hard. With eyelash curler, it would then damage the bound and break.    

 My other photos:-

First Day : After the treatment! - Pardon my big forehead!

Do I look like Barbie Doll now?

3rd Day - still intact!!

This Morning!! Exactly 5 Days after the treatment.

Keep Wink Wink with KOJI and Dolly Wink – The Butterfly Project



Hola Beautylicious!!! Have you ever dream of having big and beautiful eyes, long with curly lashes!! Then we can keep wink wink with puppy eyes look whole day long!!Well, if you are a fan of eyelashes and Gyaru make-up look, then this post is for you!! (*.*)

Tsubasa Masukawa: Dolly Wink Ambassador; pict: google
Recently, I was invited by The Butterfly Project Community to attend the media launch for Koji-Honpo new launched products. The event was held at Little Pantry, IOI Mall.





Koji-Honpo (Dolly Wink) History

KOJI is renowned as Japan's false eyelash pioneer. They were the very first company to manufacture and sell false eyelashes, called tsuke-matsuge in Japan.

Company Overview

"Since they began selling fake eyelashes for the first time in Japan in 1947, KOJI HONPO has always pioneered the development of fake eyelashes. The company offers wide-ranging products, from products for beginners to products for professionals. In addition, they also offer other products such as "Eye Talk" for making double-fold eyelids, eyeliners and eyebrow liners, as well as items necessary for fake eyelashes, including scissors and tweezers. In 2013, the company will participate in the Japan Expo held in Paris, so that fashion-conscious women around the world can try out their fake eyelashes. The company is therefore expected to expand its share in the global market in the future.

At the event, I gathered that Koji falsies were inspired by Geisha. It appears that, in order to have long, fuller and curlier lashes, Geisha knitted their own falsies with their own hair. Wow!! I further advised that every falsies produced by Koji are all handmade. It is carefully made and produced with care to preserve its quality. That explained why Koji falsie a bit pricey here in Malaysia.

Koji Representative (we call her sensei) commenced the event with products introduction and review. For over 60 years in market, Koji products have gone thru few changes, innovations and improvements to accommodate with our current lifestyle. Dolly Series was created by Tsubasa Masukawa to match with her lifestyle as a celebrity. As an icon in Japan, her featured Dolly Wink products range became so essential to every girl in Japan. With its fine quality and almost natural look, the Gyaru and Kawaii style is no longer a fantasy! Their products is sold 16 millions since 2005!! Wallaweh!!
I had my great moment at the event by went thru all the products featured on the shelves. How I wish all these gems belongs to me – Alone!! ~ Lol

Shelves displaying all Koji / Dolly Wink products!
Look at their selections of products to choose from. OMG - you would never have enough with these babies. =)





We were given a chance to try and test some of their products. I was extremely happy to play with it. I went there with bare faced and went home with colourful face. Lol 



I tried, tested and played with the products in the small basket and I totally love their products. These are some of the products that I tried and applied at the event:-


1/ Cream white eye shadowthe cream texture is so creamy with little bit combination of stardust and glittering.
2/ Liquid eyeliner (deep black)I totally love this eyeliner. I draw bit to my back hand and surprisingly it stayed for 2 days. I applied to my eyelid and had it removed with make-up remover.
3/ Eyelash Curler by Koji - This product gave marvelous look to my lashes. I love how it turned my lashes to be more curlier and fuller. It did a good job and as a result I have bigger eyes. 
4/ Black Mascara (black)I got to know that this is a limited edition. The fibre textures elongate my natural lashes and make it fuller and longer.
5/ White eyelinerFor highlight. I used it at the inner corner of my eyes to enlighten my eyes.
6/ Eyebrows mascaraFirst time encounter with this type of product. It came with spoolie brush for easier application. I brushed it to my eyebrows and it matched with my light brown hair! ~ Totally Love  - I am the new born “Mat Salleh”. 


My Final Make-up Look
Sensei then introduced us their new products which only will be officially launched in November this year, i.e. Lash Concierge. With 8 different types to choose from, Lash Concirge range was created to be used on daily basis. You can wear them either for work or for school and it will gives you more natural look.

Do you notice the percentage at the packaging? The percentage is actually represents the percentage of natural look you can achieve with this lashes. Which means, “the higher the percentage is, the more natural look it can be”. So, not to worry for being caught for wearing the falsies as your colleagues and friends would never notice that you are wearing one and it can only be achieved with Lash Concierge Range by Koji.

Sensei further explained that each of their lashes came with tester as well. The tester produced is very limited and it is also handmade!! So, customer can have their sweet time to try the lashes on instead of imagine how the lashes would look after wearing them. Very creative and innovative right? 

These testers are handmade!

After the trial, review and make-up session, Sensei called up for volunteers to try their new Concierge falsies (i.e. which only will be officially in market in November this year). I was so eager to be one of the volunteers and picked Falsies No. 5 from the Concierge Range. Falsie No. 5 is a half lashes. Its abit fuller and the end and would gives cat eye look. This falsie is so compatible with winged eyeliner – My fav!!
