Guestpost: Round-up: The Cutest Cat Cosmetics

9. March 2017
Here is a guestpost by the lovely Anne from the blog Cat Obsessed. I hope you will enjoy reading it:

I love Asian cosmetics for two reasons: firstly, the quality is great.  I have very sensitive skin.  Most western drugstore brands make my skin react.  However, I have no problem with Korean and Japanese products from inexpensive brands like Etude House and Nature Republic.

Cutest Cat Cosmetics

The second (less important) reason is the packaging.  When I see something cute, it’s easy to get me to part with my money!  Korean brands often team up with some of my favorite characters like Line Friends and Gudetama.

Given that I run a cat blog, it’s no surprise that I’m a sucker for any makeup with a cat theme.  Many brands have made adorable cat items.  It’s mostly just the outer packaging that has a feline appearance, but Japanese company Felissimo recently made a hand cream with the fragrance of a cat’s paw!

In this post, Fräulein Schnee has kindly invited me to share five of the cutest cat-themed makeup items I’ve ever seen.

1.  Skin79 – Animal Mask (Angry Cat)

Cutest Cat Cosmetics

Sheet masks with animal faces have become very popular in the last year or two.  Not only are they fun to look at, but they have all the benefits you’d expect in a Korean sheet mask.  In the animal mask series from Skin79 there are three options –  Angry cat, Dry money  or Dark panda.  These have different properties for various skin problems.  Angry cat contains aloe and tea tree extracts to soothe irritated and troubled skin.  It claims to moisturize and purify rough, flaky, dry and lifeless skin.

2.  Miss Hana x Choo Choo Cat – Waterproof Eyeliner Kit

Cutest Cat Cosmetics

The Choo Choo cat series is a range of adorable cat artwork from Korean company Jetoy.  The cats can be found on postcards, teacups, purses…and now a makeup collaboration with Miss Hana!  The Miss Hana x Choo Choo Cat Waterproof Eyeliner kit contains four colors – black, brown and glitter versions of both.  The pretty metal case also includes a sharpener.  This is one item I’d buy just for the packaging.  The blue-eyed white cat actually looks like a lot like my pet Saus (you can see my favorite picture of her at the top of this post – she’s so silly!).  I found the advert for this collaboration set and it’s so adorable I melted:

3.  Holika Holika x Audrey Jeanne – Dodo Cat Glow Cushion BB

Cutest Cat Cosmetics

Holika Holika is a famous Korean makeup brand.  You can’t walk down a street in Seoul without spotting one or two branches!  But have you heard of Audrey Jeanne?  Probably not.  She’s a French illustrator specialising in adorable cat drawings.  The Holika Holika x Audrey Jeanne collab is a strange combination but definitely a cute one.  The Dodo Cat Glow Cushion contains both foundation and brightener for a natural skin glow.  Used together they create a natural, radiant and flawless complexion.

4.  The Face Shop – Mini Pet Sweet Perfume Hand Cream

Cutest Cat Cosmetics

I have already mentioned Felissimo’s strange cat-paw fragranced hand cream – but other brands have created feline-themed hand creams too!  The Face Shop is one of my favorite brands when it comes to moisturisers.  They are generally effective while being gentle on my sensitive skin.  This Mini Pet Sweet Perfume Hand Cream has a floral fragrance (maybe how my cat smells after after I’ve washed her with scented shampoo!).  It’s only 30mls so it’s small enough to pop into your handbag.  There are also three other animal options to choose from if cats aren’t your thing.

5.  White Cat – Super Berry Silky Eye Balm

Cutest Cat Cosmetics

Another Korean brand which I hadn’t come across before is actually named after a cat – White Cat.  This brand is known for using nature-friendly and hypoallergenic ingredients. Not all of their products are feline themed but many of them have leopard print packaging.   One such example is their Super Berry Silky Eye Balm.  This product claims to provide moisture and increase elasticity in the sensitive eye area. It also improves wrinkles – I’m sold!  And look at the lovely fluffy pet in their promotional image:

Cutest Cat Cosmetics

I would buy anything that this kitty is selling!

 

I hope you enjoyed this round up!  If you’re not a cat lover, these items would make a good gift for a friend who is.  Crazy cat ladys are easy to buy for.  I would certainly love to receive them!

Review: Miss Hana Lavender Loose Powder Brush ♥sponsored♥

26. September 2013
Hey there :D
Some time ago I presented to you the brand Miss Hana, a Taiwanese brand with really nice products and good quality. I reviewed Miss Hana’s Waterproof Eyeliner Gel Pencil and Natural Born Lip Balm Crayon and I can recommend you to have a look at both of these reviews, because I still love using both of them *_* Today, I’ll be reviewing Miss Hana’s Lavender Loose Powder Brush.
I’m really lazy when it comes to brushes, to be honest. I do not use them often and mostly they don’t get my attention at all. But, when I got this brush by BeautyChamber I was directly in love. ♥

This brush has purple colored and super soft bristles and a white brush handle. The collar between the hair and the handle is golden with the heart-shaped ornament of the brand embroidered. The brush comes with a plastic bag, so you can put it inside of it and prevent damage if you want to take it with you somewhere.

Apart from this powder brush there is a blush brush available called Miss Hana Sweet Cheeks Blush Brush. This one has pink brush bristles and is as cute as the powder brush. You can see the promotional pictures from Miss Hana below:
You can get both brushes at BeautyChamber for US$ 16.99 each. It doesn’t list all the products which are available, so if you are looking for something special, write an Email to Amber, the shop owner, and she’ll give you a quote. She is very nice and answers fast to your emails. She has a blog at http://chamber2u.blogspot.tw/. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013

Review: Miss Hana Natural Born Lip Balm Crayon No. 1 ♥sponsored ♥

25. July 2013
Hey! ♥
Here is another Miss Hana product I will review. This time it is Miss Hana’s Natural Born Lip Balm Crayon in No.1 Purple Sakura Season.

Miss Hana is a Taiwanese brand and the Gel Eyeliner Pencil I reviewed before seems to be a bestseller in Taiwan. Why not try some other products?!:D This lip balm is available in 5 different shades. It was send to me by BeautyChamber. The shades which are available are called: Purple Sakura Season, New York Uptown Pink Girl, Orange Twilight, Peach Champs-Elisées and Moulin Rouge Diva. I like the names they’ve got. Below you can see the advertising pictures of Miss Hana Lip Balm Crayons:
The packaging is very girly and has the same color as the lip balm, with black ornaments around it. It has a clear plastic cap to protect the lip balm.
The description is in written in English, too. Yeii! (Although there is not much you can do wrong while applying lip balm… )
The texture of the lip balm is very, very creamy. The first time I opened it and swatched it on my hand (picture below) I accidentally broke of a tiny little bit ^_^”’ shame on me. For a lip balm it is also really pigmented. It is comparable to a lipstick in my eyes, but far more moisturizing. It really glides onto your lips and makes them feel supple and smooth. I really like the feel of the application.
In the picture above I didn’t use any lip concealer. See how pigmented it is nevertheless? Normally I don’t wear pink lip products, but I really like the feel of this one, so I put it on rather often, despite of this. Since I didn’t put on a concealer it can happen, that the lines in my lips appear like brighter, because more product sets in, but it is so easily blendable, that also this problem can be solved by using your fingers or a lip brush for blending in.
Only downside: the staying power is comparable to a lip balm and so it vanishes pretty fast and you have to touch up. I think it stays on for like 2 hours, without drinking and eating. Perhaps also a bit longer.
I’d really love to try out more colors of this lip balm, especially Moulin Rouge Diva or Peach Champs-Elysees. Because these seem to be more the colors I love to wear. I can only recommend you (especially if you have dry lips) to try one of these, if you can get your hands on it. The price for this product is 13.99 US$.
You can get Miss Hana Lip Balm Crayon from Beauty Chamber.

Review: Miss Hana Waterproof Eyeliner Gel Pencil ♥sponsored♥

24. July 2013
Hello ♥
Here is a review for a great eyeliner pencil from the Taiwanese brand Miss Hana. The product I’m reviewing is Miss Hana’s Waterproof Eyeliner Gel Pencil. It comes in a cute, pink packaging and I really am in love with the girly design. I stopped using pencil eyeliner, because they usually end up being smudgy on my eyes, but this one gives me new hope :D Continue reading if you are interested:

I got this product from Beauty Chamber. Here is the link to the product description. Unfortunately I can’t read it, but I think it is easy to use if you had eyeliner pencil before :D. This eyeliner seems to be very popular in Taiwan. I can understand why this is the case, taking into consideration how nice it works.
The packaging is cute and girly in pink and black colors. The pencil itself is pink, too, with black ornaments and a plastic cap.
The color of this eyeliner is black. It has a creamy consistency, without being too creamy to easily break off. I swatched it on my hands on the image below and tried how easy it it to remove by rubbing and water.

 

As you can see it really holds up to its claims of being waterproof. Also rubbing doesn’t do harm to it (it looses a bit of intensity in color if you’re rubbing too hard, but it doesn’t smudge). After these tests I used soap to wash my hand and still a little bit eyeliner remained. This was really surprising to me.
Lastly, here is a picture of me, wearing the eyeliner. It looks really nice in my eyes and I love how resistant it is.
All in all, I can say, that this is a nice pencil eyeliner. It holds up to its claims and is easy to use. The packaging is great, too. Also, it can be used on your waterline.
You can get Miss Hana Eyeliner from Beauty Chamber for US$ 13.99. Amber, the shop owner is very nice and answers fast to your emails. She has a blog at http://chamber2u.blogspot.tw/. Check out the facebook page, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013
