REVIEW: HOLIKA HOLIKA Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner

Hi! :)
I've mentioned last time that I am learning how to put eye makeup on and I am starting with EYELINERS ^_^ 


I've bought some eyeliners and I am really amazed with what eyeliners can do!


From this: 

To this: 

Well, actually it's not much of a difference but I felt that my eyes looked more 'alive' when I put on the eyeliner :) 

I think I am starting to love eyeliners now. 

Today, I'll do a review for one of the eyeliners I purchased online (got this from Han Ryu) 

It's from Holika Holika, a Korean brand. 

Product Name: HOLIKA HOLIKA Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner 01 

Color: Black

Price: PhP 215 (I bet this is much more expensive) 

REVIEW: ETUDE HOUSE LIP AND EYE REMOVER

Hello!

I am back again with another review of an Etude House product :)

Aside from BB Cream, I am also a fan of LIP PRODUCTS. Lip stains, lipsticks, lip gloss, lip tint - name it. 

I just have on problem with Lip tints and lipstains, sometimes they really stay on your lips for a long time. :(
I am also practicing how to put on eye make-up these days so I had to look for a perfect lip and eye make-up remover. 

I got a sample of Etude House Lip and Eye Remover from an online store on Ebay. I actually loved it! 

Here's my quick review about this amazing product. 

***********************************************

Product Name: Etude House Lip and Eye Remover 

(*scary name. I think it should be Lip and Eye Make-up Remover.)

*From Etude House 

Price: PhP 198.00 
Content: 100ml
This is a lip and eye makeup remover from Etude House. 

It comes in a clear plastic bottle. 

Uhm. I hope my eyes and lips won't be removed after using this product.. :) 

REVIEW: NATURE REPUBLIC'S SIMPLE MAKING GEL EYE LINER 01 BLACK

Hi there!
It's 1:42 am and I've decided to write something about my recent project.
For the past few months, I've been turning green with envy because my colleagues were all showing their prowess in putting on eye makeup. So I have decided to LEARN the "how's and what's" on applying eye makeup. 


Let's go down to memory lane.....
I have problems with eye makeup because when I was in college, I had two eye surgeries because of CHALAZION. According to American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, a chalazion is a bump in the eyelid that is usually about the size of a small pea although it is occasionally smaller or larger. Well in layman's term, it's like a 'pimple' on your eyelid and it happens when a duct (and opening) get blocked. According to my doctor, these ducts can get blocked because of makeup or dirt.
In short, I was traumatized with the two surgeries I had so I never learned how to put eye makeup on. 



Back to the present....
I am a LATE-BLOOMER when it comes to eye makeup so please bear with me on this. I am a newbie so I will not do tutorials on how to put eye make up on but I will just give you my review on my VERY FIRST gel eyeliner: NATURE REPUBLIC'S SIMPLE MAKING GEL EYE LINER

REVIEW: VANEDO BEAUTY FRIENDS MASK

Hello again!
For the nth time, I am so sorry I could not regularly post my reviews :( I've been so busy these days at work. 

Anyways, I'll be doing a PART 2 of my review for VANEDO BEAUTY FRIENDS MASK. 

Check this site for the PART 1 of my review.
http://theunemployedfish.blogspot.com/2012/10/review-vanedo-beauty-friends-mask-snail.html#.UdR67ztmiSo

(*But I'll still do a complete full review of this product*) 


I learned about this brand when I got a freebie from my favorite online shop HAN RYU. 
I got the #16~SNAIL and I honestly love the result! 


THE PRODUCT

*It's a facial mask from Korea. 
*Comes in 25 types/variants/kinds. 
*One pack = One facial mask. 

HOW MUCH?
I bought these for 25pesos each. 
(I just edited this today: 07/06/2013. I tried to read the history of in my Facebook messages and I found out that I bought these masks for 25pesos each! not 50pesos. Sorry.) 

HOW TO USE?

These are the ones that I've tried so far

COENZYME Q10, POMEGRANATE, SNAIL and EGF

My VERDICT:
I love these masks! These are a must-have for all ladies who are so conscious in looking good every morning.

Why I love them:
*These masks do not have a a strong scent so you will not get irritated while the mask is on. 
*These masks do not feel sticky.
* I haven't experience any itchiness or burning sensation while the mask is on. 
* I did not experience any break-outs after using these masks!! This is really one of my concerns since I have a pimple-prone skin. 

*After applying the mask, I did not feel the changes but the next morning, I noticed the difference. 
My skin felt soft and moisturized. It was easy for my to apply makeup because my skin felt supple and smooth. 

For the FIRMING effect, I actually haven't noticed that part. I am pretty sure that if I continued using the the product, I would definitely see the difference. :)


Will I buy these? If my wallet says yes, I will definitely get 100pieces of these masks. :) 

REVIEW: BAVIPHAT Under My Skin Goodbye Sebum PRIMER

Whoa!
Well hello to me! I've been out for almost a month. (Well not almost, should I say more than a month.)
I've been VERY busy with work these days. I really miss writing reviews and ranting about stuff. I have a lot of items waiting in line to be reviews but it seems I was in a "I ain't got time for that" mode.

Well I am back with a simple review on : BAVIPHAT Secret Recipe Under My Skin Goodbye Sebum Primer (Whew! I hope they were able to think on a shorter name for their product!)


*********************************************************************
I am so addicted to having a "smooth-looking, blemish free" face. I guess that's one of my insecurities since I've suffered years of having acne on my face. I also have problems with oiliness so I am still in search for products that can somehow control oil production. 

I am honestly a newbie when it comes to using PRIMERS. So when I found out that primers can actually control oil production and makes make up stay longer, I suddenly had the urge to grab one and here's my first ever PRIMER ;) 


Product Name: BAVIPHAT Secret Recipe Under My Skin Goodbye Sebum Primer
(*Baviphat is a Korean brand)

How much: Hmmm.. I honestly could not remember! I am so sorry, I got this one on sale from my favorite online shop on Facebook: Han Ryu (click the link/name if you want to be directed to the online shop webpage). 

Content: 35ml

Unfortunately, the official website of BAVIPHAT is Korean! 
I am so sorry I couldn't give you the official description of the product.  


There are the reasons why I bought this primer: 
*BAVIPHAT Under My Skin Goodbye Sebum PRIMER promises to control sebum (oil) production. 
*Promises to leave your skin a matte-finish (I LOVE MATTE!)
*Minimize enlarge pores (I don't know if it really promises to minimize enlarged pores or if it make the enlarged pores look small). 


I found a picture from an online store (http://www.eopenmarket.com/baviphat-under-my-skin-goodbye-sebum-primer-35ml.html?sl=EN) 

Anyways, here's the actual product:

This is my review for ETUDE HOUSE: Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Cream. I bought this months ago and I have been using this for quite some time. I was using Pond's Cold Cream as my make-up remover but I decided to try other make-up remover which doesn't have a very strong scent.

REVIEW: TONYMOLY EXPERT TRIPLE BB CREAM

Ola!
It has been ages since I last posted a review here on this blog. Even my personal Tumblr blog went on a hiatus for the past five months!! 
My work became a bit stressful and I had to adjust myself with the schedule so I had to put this blog on a rest for a while. 
I promise to write whenever I have time. :)


*****************************************************************
Before the year ended last 2012, I bought a haul of on-sale items from my favorite Korean Cosmetics Online shop - HAN RYU. 

Instagram Photo. Sorry, the photo's not that clear. 

I got a lot of freebies from this loot. :) 
I actually bought the following:

Ecopure Hair Color Cream N10 - PhP 250
MIZON Snail Repair BB Cream - PhP 445Lioele Bubi bubi mascara 7g #4 Gorgeous Black - PhP 185Tonymoly Expert Triple BB Cream - PhP 595+ Vanedo Masks

4. coenzyme q10 (2)


PLUS! free samples (samples with the capital-S, my dear!) of SULWHASOO creams, serums and BB creams! (Hurray!) 

But for today, I will be doing a review for Tonymoly Expert Triple BB Cream
Here's another BB CREAM review. 

**************************************************************************

NAME: Tonymoly Expert Triple BB Cream SPF45. PA+++
It's a BB cream from Tonymoly (and this is my second Tonymoly BB cream - remember TonyMoly Luminous Goddess Aura BB Cream?)





Net. Wt: 50ml 
Price: I got this for PhP 595 from Han Ryu.     
            PhP 928  in Tonymoly stores
With: SPF 45+++

Product Description: 
After reading the product description from tonymoly.ph (the official website of Tonymoly Philippines), I got a slight headache.
Anyways, here's the official product description:

Expert triple BB cream SPF45PA+++ Diffused reflection makes prism effects under any lights, completes spotless shiny skin Expert 3D Collagen BB cream SPF40PA+++ Boosting Collagen synthesis effect helps skin reconstruction. Filling between the wrinkle

If that doesn't help, maybe this one will: 

I don't have any idea what OPTICAL SENSORY POWDER means. Really.
