Review: Etude House Rose Drawing Show Creamy Eyeliner BE103

11. October 2013
Yesterday I reviewed the Rosy Tint Lips from Etude House’s Autumn Collection 2013 called “& Rose” and today I’m going to review the second product I ordered from this line, the Etude House Rose Drawing Show BE103 Creamy Romance, which is the lightest color of the four shades provided.
left: Etude House Rosy Tint Lips, right: Etude House Rose Drawing Show
The design of this creamy pencil is simple, but cute. The color of the pen is pink, with the name ornamented on it. The cap is designed with imprinted lace motif.
This pen can be used as eyeliner or highlighter. It can be smudged directly after application in order to create a smokey effect. After drying it should be waterproof and long lasting. I think you can also use it on top of your normal black eyeliner to give it a shimmer, but I didn’t try it. There are three other colors available which are pigmented more than this color. You can find a review for the other three eyeliner at Mizuchan’s blog. She did a great review on them ♥
As you can see, the color is a very light one. The texture is normal for a pen liner, at least for this one. I expected it to be more creamy, but it has the normal creamy-ness of other pen eyeliner I own. The other shades of the Rose Drawing Show Eyeliner Pen look indeed also more creamy.
In the picture above you can see the swatch of the liner on my hand. It is providing a nice shimmer without being opaque. That’s why I like to use it most as highlighter under my eyes, like in the image. I also used the Rosy Tint Lip as blush in this picture :) The tip has to be sharpened, once it becomes blunt. There is no sharpener provided, so keep this in mind when you consider to buy. The staying power is good, unless you start to rub your eyes to intensively.
I got my Etude House Rose Drawing Show Creamy Pen from W2Beauty. If you are not yet registered, you can receive a 5,00 € voucher after registration using my link or the sponsor code 088505 and you can use it immediately for any order from 30 $ onwards. You can also get it from various other shops:
W2Beauty for US$ 8.74 (free shipping option)
Testerkorea for 6000 Won/ US$ ~6.00 (shipping costs depend on weight)
KoCoMall for US$ 6.48 (shipping starts at US$ 3.77)
ebay around US$ 8.00, depending on the seller (shipping depends on seller)
I like this eyeliner pen more used as a highlighter than an actual eyeliner. The color is not pigmented enough to be a stand-alone eyeliner. The other colors seem more suitable for this. Nevertheless, I don’t regret buying this, because I integrated it into my daily make-up routine :D

Review: Etude House Rosy Tint Lips

10. October 2013
I was super excited when I saw the first promotional pictures on Etude House’s Autumn Collection 2013 called “& Rose” and I picked up one of the new Rosy Tint Lips directly. I chose No. 3 “Rose Petal”. There are 8 different shades available in total. By the way, did you know that Etude House’s “& Rose” collection is inspired by the fairytale “The Sleeping Beauty”? I love fairytales and this collections color range fits perfectly to “The Sleeping Beauty” in my opinion.
Etude House Rosy Tint Lips
The Korean brand Etude House is one of the best known Korean brands for cute packaging. If you are a lover ofcute, girly and pink packaging, reminding you of being a child and the princess you always dreamt to be, THIS is your brand. Their packaging is usually so adorable that you cannot keep yourself from impuls-buys – only because you saw the packaging …As the name of the collection is “& Rose” the packaging is very beautifully covered with painted roses and fulfills all our expectations.
Etude House Rosy Tint Lips

The product description is written in English on the side of the cardboard box, too :D

With a tinge of red, 
she blossoms like a rose in full bloom.
 The story of her and the rose, &Rose…

The velvet type Tint Lips comes with a soft delicate texture and rich color to express lips of rosy petal.
Directions:
Tip 1) Delicate Petal Lip Gradiation: Dab a certain amount onto center of upper and lower lips and use tip to evenly spread.
Tip 2) Rose in Full Bloom Lip Cover: Smoothly glide onto lips, starting from the inner to outer direction.
Tip 3) Soft Petal Cheeks: Dispense a certain amount and dab lightly onto both cheeks, blending quickly with fingers.
Etude House Rosy Tint Lips

The tube of the tint has the color of the shade you pick and is very simply, displaying the name of it in a curly, cute font/ornament. The tip of the tint consists of a sponge applicator. The lip tint has to be squeezed out of the tube through the applicator. The applicator should help you to create either gradient lips or fully colored lips. And here is the major downside of this product: the tube is made from a really hard plastic and you have to squeeze very hard in order to get some product out of the tube. I read some reviews before and they all said that the plastic was hard to squeeze, but I didn’t imagine it would be like this…

Etude House Rosy Tint Lips
The sponge applicator is also something I have mixed feelings about. I know that some but think that I dislike it because it can be unhygienic, but that is not my main issue (the sponge cap can be taken off and cleaned). The Aritaum Cushion Tints I raved before (here and here) did have a sponge applicator, too. It is easy to create gradient and soft effects with help of sponge applicators like this. But, unlike the Aritaum Cushion Tints, here the product comes directly out of the sponge, so if you don’t want a gradient effect, but clear lines the applicator will probably mess around the borders of your lips. In this case I’d recommend you to use a lip brush.
Etude House Rosy Tint Lips
Now, what about the product itself: I thought Rose Petal would have a slightly different color, but it is more a pink tone. It is a very nice shade nevertheless. Also, I like the matte appearance of the color on the lips. You have to be a bit careful with dry lips though. The lasting power is not amazing, but it is okay, as long as you don’t eat and drink. But, what I really like is the scent of the lip tint, since it smells of roses ♥ You can also use it as blush, and I tried it as well. The color is really pigmented, so be careful not to put too much on your cheeks, normally the stain on the sponge after you used it on your lips is more than enough (germophobics should clean the sponge applicator afterwards, or simply use sanitized fingers).
I bought mine at W2Beauty. If you are not yet registered, you can receive a 5,00 € voucher after registration using my link or the sponsor code 088505 and you can use it immediately for any order from 30 $ onwards. You can also get it from various other shops:W2Beauty for US$ 11.29 (free shipping option)
Testerkorea for 8500 Won/ US$ ~8.50 (shipping costs depend on weight)
KollectionK for US$ 9.89 (shipping to Germany starts at US$ 4.99)
ebay fom US$ 9-19, depending on the seller (shipping depends on seller)For the lip tint itself, I like it very much. I really am disappointed about the design of the tube and the whole applicational discomfort caused by it. Nevertheless it is worth a try. I’m thinking of de-potting it or something like this…

Review: Geo Eyescream Rayray Gray XMU-A15 ♥sponsored♥

9. October 2013
This is a review of Geo Eyescream Rayray Gray XMU-A15, a gray/brownish circle lens kindly sponsored by www.geocolouredlenses.com. Grey lenses are something I’ve been curious to try for a long time, since I’ve always liked how they looked with dark hair. ^_^

 The product description and specifications below are taken from their web page:
Specification
Power Range: 0.00~-8.00
Diameter: 14.5mm
Base Curve Radius: 8.7
Water Content: 38~42%
1 year disposable
* It is advisable to dispose it within 4 months for regular use or if it starts to cause dryness.
* Please handle with clean hands and soak it with solutions after every usage. 

You can see, that these lenses have a brown colored inner ring. The design is really pretty. These are also larger in diameter than the Geo Magic CM-904 I reviewed before (>>here<<).

 

Design: 

 These lenses are grey colored with a inner circle of brown color. They get darker towards the outer circle, giving the eyes a dolly effect. The color looks nice in natural light and is not artificially opaque but creates a gradiating color effect.


Comfort

  These were even more comfortable to wear than the Geo Magic CM-904 (>>here<<). I had strangely some difficulties in putting these lenses into my eyes, because they tended to fall out before attaching to the eye, but once they were in properly they were super comfortable.


Enlargement:

 I think that this enlargement is the perfect size for me, without being too scary. I have already large eyes and if I wear to extreme lenses I look like a alien. These give the eyes a dolly effect and some enlargement.

Shipping:
 Shipping was provided with tracking number and arrived after 10 business days which is good for standard shipping. Since shipping is free, you cannot complain about the delivery time. The lens vials were securely packed withing bubble wrap.
 You can buy these lenses at www.geocolouredlenses.com for US$ 17.33. they do offer FREE international shipping and all their lenses are genuine. Most of their circle lens models are available with corrective power. Geo lenses are a reliable Korean circle lens brand and the only USA FDA approved circle lens brand. You can find information about geocolouredlenses here:
 
web store link: www.geocolouredlenses.com

In total I really liked wearing these lenses. They were comfortable and they provided a nice color. :) Thanks to geocolouredlenses again!:D

Review: Skinfood Black Sugar Perfect First Serum

4. October 2013
When discovered that my latest order from Keautystore contained a sample of Skinfood’s Black Sugar Perfect First Serum I was really excited. I’ve been using the Black Sugar Scrub foam for some time now and it is really a product I like a lot. Let’s see what my first impression based on Skinfood’s Black Sugar Perfect First Serum Sample is:

My review is based on a sample, that’s why I cannot say anything about the bottle the serum is provided in full size. But it comes with special cotton pads with two sides. These two sides are necessary for the suggested application of the product. One side of these pads is rougher, and the other side is smooth. With the rough side you have to wipe your skin, in order to remove dirt and dead cells, with the second and smoother side you pat the skin in order that it absorbs the remaining serum.  The pads provided by Skinfood here, are supposed to be robust. You can use any other robust cotton pad with two different sides, that’s at least what I did.

Here is the description taken from Keautystore:
A first serum that provides exfoliating, brightening, wrinkle-smoothing and hydrating benefits in a single formula. Use daily for soft, smooth skin.
Hoe to use:
Immediately after cleansing put a generous amount onto a cotton pad and wipe over the face.
Shake well before use.
As much as I know, black sugar is a dark brown sugar with high molasses favour. It is rich in potassium, iron, calcium and other minerals. Brown and black sugar are often used as skin exfoliator, as in the Black sugar Foam Scrub. Also here they help to remove the dead cells in the wiping step. Also, molasses contains vitamin B, which is an antioxidant that prevents and reverses signs of photo-aging of the skin. Another positive fact of this product is that it doesn’t contain benzophenone, mineral oil, silicon, acrylamide, talc, or sulfate.

This picture belongs to Skinfood
The serum itself is a clear liquid. I applied it on a cotton pad and wiped it over my skin, after using a cleanser before. Looking at the cotton pad there was still a visible amount of dirt and dead cells which were removed. Afterwards I did the pat-movement with the other side of the cotton pad until the serum was absorbed. I felt a slight remain of stickiness. Since you should continue with the rest of your skincare routine after using the serum I added a moisturizer on my face. After this step the stickiness was no problem anymore.

 

The skin feels clean and clear afterwards, but I didn’t see an immediate brightening effect. The sample sachet contains enough serum for 3-4 times use, but I don’t know if this is enough to observe any long term effects like brightening. Thinking about it’s anti-aging properties, I’d say that the benefits of antioxidants on preventing photo-damaging are known. Since this products contains vitamin B through the black sugar I hope that this will do its job ;)All in all, this serum is quite promising and worth a try. I’d be curious to try the full size product, especially the cotton pads provided extra for the product.

You can buy the full size product containing 120 ml at Keautystore. If you decide to buy something at Keautystore I can offer you a 5 % coupon code that they provided me. So if you plan to order at their store you can put my email address in the “referred email” box (which would make me very happy ^_^) and use coupon code listed below:

1st Taobao Order via Taobaoring

3. October 2013
After browsing though taobao over and over again and accumulating a lot of links from products I wanted to have I finally did my first taobao order :D And I don’t regret I did…♥ So let’s see what I bought and how:

I used taobaoring as agent and I was really satisfied with their service. They’re easy to use and really quick. I placed my order at taobaoring on 1st of September and my package arrived on 26 of September via airmail. One item I wanted to order was out of stock and another one was not available in the color I wanted, so I had to choose another color.
Here are the items I got ( I bought everything from the shop http://forestgirlfans.taobao.com):

I fell in love with the fairytale inspired motif on this dress. The quality of the dress is really good. the details are nice and it is sewn nicely. It has an integrated undergarment, too. The dress is available in one size only, so if you are tall this dress will be too short for you. Also, if you have C cup I won’t recommend it.

These shorts are super comfy. The waist is stretchy and fits perfectly. I wear normally European size 38 (M) for skirts and shorts. On the images of the shop these shorts look super wide. If you have the same size that I have don’t expect them to be as wide ;) The lace doesn’t look cheap or anything and also here I have no complains about sewing or the quality of the fabric. I bought them in blue, but there are other colors, too.

I wanted to have this blouse in red, but it was out of stock and I chose the brown color instead, which is lovely, too. I’m European size 36 (S/XS) for t-shirts/blouses and it fits perfectly. The material is slightly stretchable, perhaps it fits as 38 as well, but anything larger could be difficult. again, the quality is very nice.


This item I was curious about, and I still am, because I still don’t know when and how to wear it best. This is a light cotton blouse with short sleeves and a laced collar. The collar is adjustable. The fabric is a bit translucent, so you can use it for layering. I think it looks nice if you wear it under a summer dress…perhaps?!

Here are the perfect shoes for the fairytale dress from above :D I love them. They had a strong plastic scent when unpacking them, but after one day wearing they are fine. Two flower-y shoe pads were included. The material seems sturdy, too.

What are your experiences with taobao? Do you have any favorite shops? I already gathered some new things to order XD

Review: TheFaceShop Face It Aura CC Cream

2. October 2013
I wanted to do this review much much earlier, but due to shipping problem in Germany it was really delayed until know. There have already been a lot of reviews about this product, but nevertheless I want to share my thoughts about TheFaceShop Face It Aura CC cream with you.


Here is the description taken from TheFaceShop’s official web page: 
usable for all skintypes, recommended for normal skin
description:
Brightening + Anti-wrinkle + SPF  effect
Creates a “Spotlight Makeup” : turns up the wattage of your skin tone with enhanced skin luminosity
 “A Born-color Cream” : just like you were born with a  brighter ,healthier & naturally luminescent  skin!
  *12H Long-wearing : with its innovative darkening-proof formula, the makeup is maintained morning-fresh & bright for 12 hours.
 *12H Hydrating: promotes Clear & lively skin tone
Super blendable & layerable  texture allows buildable coverage & easy touch ups on-the-go.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? I was skeptical nonetheless, because most CC creams had a coverage which was to light for my tasting and were not able to replace my routinely used BB cream. But I read a lot of good reviews about this CC cream and so I gave it a try. The packaging contains a lot of description, too (you can enlarge the images). They put also some images on how you can add the refill. The fact that you actually can put a refill is great and is the first point I like about this product.


The pact itself is sturdy, but handy on the same time. The design is very clean and mature with a light pink color.



When you open the pact, it comes with a mirror on the one side and the CC cream container on the other. In between there is an application pad.


Now, in order to apply the CC cream you have to push the container and the CC cream is pumped through the hole in the middle of the container (you have to remove the sticker before). This CC cream looks like a BB cream. It is not based on color changing beads, but has an even tone. TheFaceShop Face It Aura CC Cream is available in two shades: light beige and natural beige. I bought natural beige. Below you can see the swatch of the CC cream on my hand. As you can see, I’m still a bit tanned from my vacation and this CC cream has a shade comparable to Missha’s No. 21, if I remember correctly. Nevertheless, it can be blended in nicely. I think the shade will work even better for me in winter :)

The coverage is really, really great. I didn’t expect it, because most CC creams have a lighter coverage, but this one does a good job and a better job than the Skinfood’s Vita Water Drop CC cream I reviewed before >>here<<. Below you can see an image of my face with and without the CC cream. You can clearly see how good the coverage is, it even covers my birth mark at my mouth’s corner. Also my skin tone is evened out and brightened up. Unfortunately, because of the SPF it is difficult to get a nice picture while using flash light. I also didn’t have any problems layering this CC cream on that parts of my skin which are not dry. With help of the sponge it looked always nicely blended and not cake-y. But, if you have dry parts in your skin or dry skin in general I recommend you to you to use a moisturizer before, otherwise it will not look nice, but a bit powdery/flaky. I don’t agree with their claim on being hydrating for drier skin types. For oily and normal skin it might be okay.
The staying power was nice, nevertheless, even if I would not say it lasts for 12 hours, but it lasts really a long time. Since I have skin on the drier side I cannot say anything about oil control. It performed nice enough for me.

I love this CC cream! I was very skeptical about CC creams because I didn’t like formulas with color changing beads, but this one is a normally toned cream without any color adapting beads. The coverage is great and comparable to BB creams, like Missha’s Perfect Cover. It evens out the skin tone, has SPF and the application is great, too. I can live with the part of having to use a good moisturizer before, because I do this anyway. Moreover, it fits perfectly into any handbag :D I am totally happy with this buy!

TheFaceShop Face It Aura CC Cream contains 20 g and costs US$ 39.00. If you decide to buy something at Keautystore I can offer you a 5 % coupon code that they provided me. So if you plan to order at their store you can put my email address in the “referred email” box (which would make me very happy ^_^) and use coupon code listed below:

asian stationary Blippo PR Sample

Blippo.com – cute stuff from Japan ♥sponsored♥

1. October 2013

I’m a sucker for cute stationary and accessories and I’ve always been! One of the first online stores I got to know a couple of years ago was Blippo. I got some of their items from them for reviewing and I decided to show you what they send me and give you an introduction into their online store.

Blippo

Blippo is a very easy to navigate site. They offer stuff from Japan like Magazines and Candy and Snacks, but also a lot of stationary items and character items from Hello Kitty, San-X (like Rillakkuma, Sentimental circus, Gloomy Bear…), and Ghibli. they have also some fashion items, like bags and purses and cute accessories. Blippo offers free shipping which is really great in my eyes :D

I’ll show you the items, which I received from them ^_^ they’re really, really cute and I fell in love in an instant ♥ (You can click on the images to enlarge them ;) )

Blippo

The first item is a pencil holder from Rilakkuma. It has different motifs on each of the four sides of the box and is divided into three parts in the inner. My favourite image is the one with Rilakkuma dressed as Parisian with some baguettes in his arms XD  It is 10 x 10 x 8 cm and you can buy it here:

Blippo

The second item is a super cute Kiiroitori mini plush ♥ It is around 9 cm in height and has a short chain to put it at your key-chain if you like. I love little chicks, they are so cute and this one is no exception :D You can get it here (this item is on sale at the moment*_*):

Blippo

The last item is a Rilakkuma contact lens case. This is my second Rilakkuma contact lens case. I bought another one a year ago and it is one of my dearest objects *_* This one is super cute as well ♥ It has Rilakkuma’s head on one side and Korilakkuma’s head on the other. There is a second model of this lens where you have Korilakkuma’s and Kiiroitori’s heads. You can buy this one here:

The other model is available here:

Do you know Blippo or do you own some of the items I own? Tell me what you think about them ^_^

That’s it for this time, hope you enjoyed this post ♥

Review: Christine Ladies Argireline Ultra Tightening Mask ♥sponsored♥

27. September 2013
Hey,
Here is another sheet mask review again :D This is about Chistine Ladies Argireline Ultra Tightening Mask sponsored by BeautyChamber. Christine Ladies is a Taiwanese high-end brand. This mask is one of the best selling products from this brand and is available in two types, one is for tightening and one for whitening.

Here is the description of the mask taken from BeautyChamber’s web store:
TIGHTENING:
What makes this mask stand out among millions of others in the market is that it uses Japan’s invisible mask fabric which is 100% cotton fabric with thickness of only 0.03cm. It is able to fully absorb 20ml of essence.Using skin density difference principle, it allows the essence to be quickly transferred to the underlying skin with zero distance between the skin and mask; penetrating the barrier of skin cells so the essence can be 100% utilized.
EFFECTS: Protect skin tissues, repair damaged cells, smooth fine lines, tighten, whiten and moisturize and to increase skin radiance, keeping it in its best condition.
Ingredients: Aqua, Propylene Glycol, sodium Hyaluronate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Butylene Clycol, Saccharamyces, Podophyllum Peltatum Filtrate Extract, Aloe Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Chlorphenesin, Ethoxylated Alkylphenol, Ethoxylated Sorbitan Ester, Fragnance
Most of the ingredients above have moisturizing properties, which makes me assume, that this mask works good on dry skin. The packaging is a shiny dark red. Since this mask is from a Taiwanese high-end brand, the packaging is very mature and simple. I hope you can read the description on the backside. The material is very shiny and reflecting, I couldn’t get a better picture for it >_<”’ The description is in English :)

The fabric of the mask is very thin. It is the first sheet mask that I tried having a very thin and delicate fabric. In order to make it a bit easier to handle the sheet is attached to a plastic film. The mask is soaked thoroughly with the clear essence. While unfolding and arranging it for use I had to be careful not to mess around, but once it was on my face it didn’t drip or anything else. I didn’t like the scent of the mask, but after a few minutes I didn’t smell it anymore and it was okay. While having the mask on my face it was very moisturizing and refreshing. After half an hour the mask did still contain essence and wasn’t dried up. I took it off and left my face to adsorb the rest of the essence on my skin. After that the skin didn’t feel sticky. I felt a pluming effect, too. Unfortunately, I had only one of these masks to try, so I cannot speak about long-term effects. I also didn’t see a whitening effect.

You can get this mask at BeautyChamber for US$ 20 for a box of 6 masks, which is quite expensive compared to other sheet masks. Check out the facebook page of BeautyChamber, too: https://www.facebook.com/beautychamber2013

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: Skinfood Egg White Pore Mask

19. September 2013
Hey :)
This review is based on a sample I got from Skinfood’s Egg White Pore Mask. I’ve been always curious about that mask, since I heard a lot of people do like it.


Here is the description taken from Skinfood’s official web page:

A pore-refining cleanser with egg white extract that penetrates deeply into pores to remove pore-clogging oil.
 
[Egg white Story]Egg white, enriched with albumin, promotes firmer skin and smaller pores.
 
* To UseAfter cleansing, apply to the face except the eye and mouth area. Wash off with lukewarm water in 10 ~ 15 minutes.

I have to point out that I’ve always loved Skinfood’s packaging. They have a vintage kind of design and logo and it really looks nice to me. The sample sachet design is as you expect it to be. Simple colors, but a little drawing on the front and the logo which makes it nice on it’s own way. The full size product comes in a jar.

The amount of product in the sample sachet is sufficient for 3 times use. This is great, because you can try the mask more then once and get a better view on the effects. The product itself has a thick creamy consistency. It can be spread nicely over the face and doesn’t fall off. The scent is flowery and clean, which I prefer over citrus scents :)

 

After 15 minutes the mask becomes starts drying and you can wash it off. What I experienced was super soft skin. I loved touching it afterwards.*_* The skin feels cleaned and refreshed, too.
Concerning the effect on the pores, they appear to be a bit smaller or less visible after use, but the effect vanishes after some hours. As you can see I got freckles after my summer holidays :D
I didn’t experience any firming, but I don’t know if this effect is only visible after long time usage.
However, I like to repurchase this mask, simply because I loved the softening effect and it is a quick re-freshener. I also liked the scent a lot, because it was a simple and pleasant flowery scent.
You can purchase Skinfood’s Egg White Pore Mask here:
W2Beauty for US$ 15.49 (free shipping)
testerkorea for appr. US$ 8 (shipping costs depend on the weight of the product)
ebay for US$ 7-10 (shipping depends)
