[Review] Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB-Cream

Hi guys!

Click images to enlarge. 

I'm here with a review on another Holika Holika product. I love Holika Holika for their really cute products and design, and as I was running out of my beloved Etude House Sun Mineral BB-Cream I thought "why not purchase this one bbcream I've wanted for so long?" 

So I did, and it arrived more than fine! The Aqua Petit Jelly BB-Cream from Holika Holika. The cutest thing ever!

The packageing has light and adorable colours. I'm a sucker for cute packeing *_* 

Backside in english! Always check list of ingridients to make sure you're not allergic. If you ever experience an allergic reaction from skincare or makeup bring the list to your doctor, so he can test you right! 

This BB-cream has SPF20 which is good! It promises a jelly-texture for a light feeling. 

So here's the BBcream! In the lid there's a spatula, which I love because it makes it more hygienic than dipping your fingers into the BBcream right away. Yay! 

Here I am wearing the BB-cream (with flash) 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ ✧

The colour is too dark for my pale skin! TT^TT I am so sad. And the coverage is very light. Not even medium to light, but light. Pores aren't covered, pimples and dark circles are pretty much as visible as before. This is good for people with perfect skin more interested in the sun-protection and a very light feeling. It does feel light! I can't feel (nor see) it at all. 

You can see from the picture despite the harsh flash my cheeks look inflammed. I have very red cheeks naturelly, and wearing foundation or bbcream can usually hide it pretty well, but not this! 

One really good thing about it is the smell. It's very perfume-filled, but it smells clean and good. The smell is strong but lovely!

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ ✧

Medium price. Absolutely normal price for a BBcream. It has a big size as well, so I'm satisfied. 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

The texture is as the named jelly-like! It's so cute and feels light and breathable on the skin all day.

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

So in love with it all, from the package to the bottle and the spatula-in-the-lid-design! It looks so pretty in my bathroom. It looks pretty everywhere! 

Cons: 

(Strong smell for some!). The colour doesn't fit pale skin and the coverage is too light. It's hard to blend with other products like bronzer for contouring or concealer. And it's rather big in a makeup-bag too! 

That's all for now thanks for reading my review!

[Review] Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot-Mask

WARNING! REALLY GROSS PICTURES OF MY FEET, BE AWARE!

Hi guys!

I'm here with a review and honestly, kind of an experiment for me. A fun one!

Click images to enlarge.

Some time ago I bought the Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot One Shot Peeling. That has got to be the longest product-name EVER. 

Basically this is a mask, just like those for your face. But these are for the feet!
I bought two, and together with them came a cute little sample, and I have no idea what it is since I obviously can't read korean - but I can still love the wonderful effects of korean products!

In each package comes these cute little "feet" with liquid inside and of course the masks to put on your feet. 

So what now?: 
- Start out by putting on the foot-mask

- Pour liquid into foot-masks (one for right, one for left).

- Wait 1.5 hours

- Remove and dispose masks. 

- Massage feet to let left-over liquid soak in

Let's first take a before picture: 

I'm a runner and it's no secret that runners have the ugliest feet. You can see they are very dry, but not cracked. And miscoloured/harmed too. My poor feet! TT^TT

Time to do something about it! 

Let's see how silly we look now. (Oh my gosh, my paleness is awful T^T) 

It's best to sit with your PC or watch TV cause it's a rather long time and with these things it's hard to move.  

Now: here's the magic. There's absolutely NO RESULT after use. 

Whaaaat? Then why purchase? 

Because, AFTER FOUR DAYS YOUR FEET WILL PEEL BY ITSELF!

When I reached day 3 I thought to myself: This is so stupid, they look the same, bad purchase. 

Then day 4 I had to swallow my words. It was peeling by itself! Under here you see first day 4 and day 5. (Gross photo - warning!)

 

  
Ewwww! Nasty! 

The product DOES say that on the fourth day you feet will peel - and on the seventh day they'll stop! 

It's slightly scary, yet really fun to try this out. And as promised, when I reached day 7 the peeling stopped all by itself.

It's suggested that you don't peel off your own skin from day 4 - 7.

Effectivity: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ ✧

It's kind off hard to say what I expected from this product. The peeling went fine, it was absolutely painfree, and my feet became smooth!

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Extremely cheap. Only a few dollars, so I'm glad I bought two!

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

Holika Holika managed to make a mask designed for your feet to peel look super cute and girly. The blue-rosy design is so adorable along with the cute little baby-foot!  

Cons: 

The smell from the liquid is very similar to the smell of acetone/nailpolish-remover, and that grosses me out. It smells like it's filled with chemicals, yuck! And the peeling on your feet can get messy in your house if you don't wear socks. 

Overall:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

I'll repurchase when the other one is gone! 

TonyMoly Crystal Blusher Review

Hello everyone. 

Long time no see! This is my second last review from my korean haul from 2013. Almost done with it. It took ages! The next review is the Etude House Tearliner, and this review is the TonyMoly Crystal Blusher. 

Click photos to enlarge!

Here's some pictures with and without flash. 

The pictures I had of the blush from when it was new is sadly gone, due to having my old harddisc killed. So these are from when it's already used. It was of course new and untouched when it arrived!

The colour is really hard to swatch, and I therefore can't show you the colour on the skin. I apologize for this. 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ ✧

The colour is beautiful carrot-orange, in a way that it fits my skin, and I like it. It has some shimmer/glitter in it too, so it's not matte if that's what you'd go for. However it's not visible on pictures, only in real. It stays on all day, however not waterproof/resistant. The colour is super nice and does match the pictures though!  

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Very cheap for what I consider a huge amount of product. The blush is very big, but costs close to nothing. Yay! 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

Touching it with my fingers it has a smooth and soft texture, it feels just like a highclass product actually. It's a supernice texture for brushing too, and it feels light on the skin. 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ 

The design is not as cute, but it's very simple and pretty. 

Cons: 

Can't really think of any! I would repurchase this another time. 

That's my ultra-short review for now, hope you enjoy. 

Ending with an old picture from 2011, because I don't have anything else right now. Have a nice day! 

Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil Review

Hello everyone!

I am finally back with a review from this korean haul in 2013. This time it's the eyebrown pencil from the popular South Korean brand Etude House! 

Let's first take some pictures of the product! I think the design is adorable ♥ 

The colour is brown, so I'm sorry that it looks so dark, almost black, on the pictures! I have trouble taking pictures because as soon as I am home from school it's already dark here in the wintery Scandinavia. So please forgive me that, but it really is brown!

The pencil works kind off like a duo-pencil, the browpencil in one end and a small eyebrow brush in the other. Very perfect, but not very travelsize-friendly. 

Close-up for up the pencil. Quite a decent amount of product in it! (Not only what you can see ofcourse)

Close-up of eyebrow brush.

Alright, let's try the product. Sorry for the blurryness of the first picture. My naturel eyebrow is slightly lighter than my haircolour since I trim it, it's a little messy and has no shape. I don't pluck my brows anymore, because I usually conceal the extra hairs or have my eyebrows really thick.

I am a huge fan of thick, straight korean eyebrows it gives me a young and innocent look! But I am also a fan of the arched, sexy look. So I'm gonna challenge the eyebrow pencil to both! 

Naturel brow: 

So I hope you get the idea even though this picture is blurry. The rest is not, so don't worry. It's light, out of shape, and no way how I like it. I put lots of focus into my brows because they do a lot for a face. Never forget your brows! 

Korean-inspired straight eyebrows:

Groomed and coloured in brows. It honestly looks better without the crazy flash, but as there is no sun to see it's just not possible. 

Arched brow: 

I do this when I want to have a party, mature or sexy look. The straight look belongs to my everyday. I groomed them upwards instead of straight and filled them in more than my naturel brows so they look thicker. 

So what do I think? 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

It's very resistant and stays all day, but not waterproof. It's gives a lovely colour and can be build up, it can be naturel as well as dramatic. The brush is super great! It's a bit harsh but perfect for grooming your brows in place. Use hairspray or browgel if you want it to stick all day, or spring it in your purse.  

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Super cheap product! But if you use it everyday it's also soon goon, but you can easily afford it, and the quality fits the price (the quality is not super, but it's perfectly average). 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't know how to describe this. It's a quite harsh product, yet it's softer than your typical drugstore eyebrow pencil. It's comfortable, and you don't have to drag it against your skin to get the colour from it. 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

It's simple, it's duo-function, it's cute just like all Etude House-products! Would love it to have a more travel-friendly size though. 

Cons: 

I actually had to buy this twice, because it breaks so easily! I may have done something wrong, but each time I managed the break the pencil, it would fall out and be useless. But that's really all I can think of. 5 stars to Etude House! 

That's all for this review, thanks for reading!

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint Review x 2

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posting. 

But I for once have a valid excuse other than my lazyness, because not only did I work really hard on this review - the whole weekend I fought intensevly with a virus on my pc! Not before today I got a friend to help me, so super much thank you to Steven! I owe him! But my PC is finally up and works properly again. 

Now I am here with not one, but two reviews! I will be reviewing Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in the orange and red tint. You have seen my orange tint from my korean haul. I recieved my red tint too late, hence I didn't have it yet! 

Let's get to the review, right? 

Etude House Fresh Chery Tint in red and orange:

Orange: 

(Quite obviously taken at two different times haha) 

And the two babies: 

Orange:

Red: 

Effectivity & Colour: 

Orange:✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ ✧ Red: ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

The orange works wonders, no doubt. It makes your lips pop, it's shiny and cute, and perfect for pouty lips. But the colour makes me so unsatisified. There is barely any colour at all, especially compared to the red one. Maybe it's just my naturel colour of my lips, but the colour is really sensitive. You need to bring your tint in your purse. It is not water, food, or kissing-resistant! 

However, the red tint has amazing colour! Very sharp and dolly, and very resistant. Actually be a little careful, because it almost staints your skin. I showered, brushed my teeth and slept, and the day after it was still there! 

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦  ✧

Very cheap, but also no colour. Will not repurchase in this orange, but possible in red or another colour. A nice amount of product in the container. 

Smell: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

I like it. It's a articifial candy-smell, it's quite strong, but it will fade out eventually. I like!

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't know what tint is "supposed" to feel like, but I like the texture a lot. Non-sticky. Non-watery. And not thick at all. The texture is "soft" as I would describe it. Very nice to wear on the lips. It's also not as drying!

Design/Packaging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

Etude House - you never fail at cute packaging. Never. I even keep the packages I recieved them in, because I love the small little cherries and the pink box, it's too cute to throw away! The bottle itself has soft curves and its beautifully shaped, cute designed. 

With the orange tint I created a summery naturel look, which is kinda fun and sweet, and all over innocent. It's sheer, almost nude, and fits many colours!

With the red one I made a sexy, adult look! Can you see how I go from my ordinary age to like 20+? Power of makeup!

Which one is your prefered look? Stay tuned and enjoy november!

Review: Etude House Dear My Milky Gloss Strawberry Latte

Hey ~~

Here I am with another lip-review from the korean haul, this time an Etude House review! 

I'll be reviewing the Etude House Dear My Milky Gloss in Strawberry Latte (such a long name!).

Close-up:

About the product: 

Etude House released a jelly gloss too, and I have yet to try it. This one is the "milky" edition, comes in several colours, and an adorable design. There's quite a big amount of product, and it's also quite cheap. 

Alright, bare lips: Let's get glossy and pink! (Sorry about my bad skin)

*drumrolls* And with the lipgloss!Such full and shiny lips *_* Couldn't be bothered to edit the skin around my mouth-area as usual so... Deal with this, yo ♥ 

Flash-photo: I think, in this photo particulary, my lips look so dolly, full and healthy! I love this photo! 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

It's not very resistant. As soon as you drink, eat or even talk too much the lipgloss will disappear. But the colour is awfully cute, and really does remind me of a strawberry milkshake! I feel so much in love with the colour, it makes your lips pop, makes them bigger, makes them shine and make them cute. Reminds me of the Candydoll lipglosses from Tsubasa Masuwaka.   

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Lots of product, reasonable price. No complaints here!

Smell: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

I love the smell, but I know someone is gonna hate it. It smells just like candy, very sweet and cute scent. But it loses a star for smelling a little artificial. 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't find this lipgloss sticky, unless you really go overboard with in. The texture is similar to the usual lipgloss, but when I swatched it, it got quite sticky, but on the lips I don't find it to be so. 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

Oh lord! *_* That's the reason I even bought it hahah ~ I love the design. The bottle is slim, but beautiful and looks like glass (it is plastic). The cute design is everything to me. And the bottle is transparent too, and makes it so much better! It's a little big, so it might not be very makeupbag-friendly, but 'she' will look absolutely beatiful whereever you keep 'her'! 

Cons: 

I can only think of two things. The smell - which only goes for some people, because I really like it.

And that you have to bring it and reapply throughout the day, because it will 'disappear' on your lips. Other than that, I love and adore this product. Good job, Etude!

Stay tuned for next review, lovelies! 

Tony Moly Lip Tint Review

Hi everyone ~

This will be the first out of my 6 korean items from my korean haul! 

This is the lip-tint from Tony Moly. 

Here are the items I recieved in the package: The product, and two very nice samples! Can especially not wait to try the Collagen Moistufull Cream from Etude House! 

I love collecting samples! That makes buying korean cosmetic even more a joy! 

And now to the product. 

It's already only half-filled when it's produced which is slightly strange. But there's still enough to quite a lot of times, and you can buy a bigger version too if you'd like. 

I think they full name might be: Tony Moly CatChu Wink Liptint? I'm not too sure, but it says so on the bottle, however when I purchased it from Ebay it was just named 'TonyMoly Liptint in Cherryred'. 

Alright let's test this! Here's my bare lips with only lapbalm on. They are pale, I don't have much upper-lip, but all over they are pretty normal and caucasian. 

I applied BBcream all over my lips to conceal them and make them seem smaller from further away. They look even more dead-pale now! I will make a gradient with the lip-tint, and hope for the best with the first tint I ever owned!

Blast. Of. Colour. WOW! This is applied but not blended yet. Almost looks bloody! But a very beautiful red. Alright let's make it a real gradient! *blend blend* *fix fix* (Don't mind my blurred out teeth. They looked horrid for some reason)

Finished result: Tadah! A very obvious and beautiful gradient in a cherry-pink/red colour. So what do I think in total? 

Effectivity: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

There is so much colour to this! Deep beautiful red, and so very perfect for gradiant. 

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

It's so cheap it's almost free hahah ~ It IS a small bottle, but the price is just as small. Fair and cheap price for a product I really enjoy!

Smell: 

✦ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧

This is where I'm not a big fan. It smells exactly like your old magic markers. Very bad and toxic smell, but it doesn't last - after application it smells for a little while and then it does eventually faith out, so it's not a big problem - unless you really can't stand magic markers.

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ (Let's say it 2,5 stars) 

This is half and half. There's really nothing wrong with the texture, other than it's hard to control and apply in the right amounts. You easily apply too much because the texture is exactly like water. And it runs all over your fingers, and if you're clumsy then watch out for your clothing as well, because it will colour that too! 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧ 

I like the design. Simple, small, cute! The bottle is very makeupbag-friendly, and the round shape is adorable and different. 

Cons: 

There's only one big con I can think of - it is very, no EXTREMELY drying on your poor lips! It literally sucks moist out haha ~ So be sure to have a lipbalm with you during the day wearing it, or you will suffer the pain of dry lips. But luckily it still does last after countless times of applying a balm over it, so even though it's not waterproof, it's still quite resisting. 

Last picture, with full face makeup and the gradiant lip. See how pigmented it is? (Phone-quality)

Stay tuned for more reviews! ♥
