Review: Labiotte Wine Sherbet Cleanser

27. February 2018

//PR SAMPLE / AFFILIATE LINKS / KBEAUTY //

Since I was talking about cleansing balms the other day on Instagram, I thought I might as well review the cleansing balm that I have currently in use: the Labiotte Wine Sherbet Cleanser. This cleansing balm was provided to me by BBCOSMETIC. But the review is so delayed, because I had so many cleansers to use up first…

Labiotte is a korean cosmetics brands that gained a lot of attention with their Wine Lip Tint. These cute, Korean lip tints came in a tube, shaped like a miniature wine bottle. Even I couldn’t resist to buy one of those, although I have more than enough lip tints. If you love these kinds of themed packaging designs, you can also fall easily for this product here: The Labiotte Wine Sherbet Cleanser is shaped like a glass of red wine!

The plastic jar is so adorable and it is hard to resist to take some themed pictures with it :D The jar contains 80 ml, by the way, and lasts for quite some time, if you are not a daily heavy makeup wearer like me. So, for those of you who never heard about cleansing balms or sherbet cleansers: These balm-type cleansers are made to melt off the makeup from your face. The firm texture melts down to oil by the warmth of your face, while you rub it on your face to remove makeup and other impurities. Then, when you wash your face with water it emolifies to a milky texture to wash all away. Usually, after using an oil cleanser or a cleansing balm, you are supposed to do second cleansing with a cleansing foam or gel.

When removing the lid of the glass-shaped jar you will discover a spatula and a second plastic lid. You can use the spatula to scoop out the balm from the jar and keep it more hygienic. The cleansing balm itself has a light pink color and a floral/fruity scent, which is pleasant. The ingredients of the cleansing balm are:

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Mineral Oil, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, PEG-10 Isostearate, Polyethylene, C13-15 Alkane, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Melia Azadirachta Branch/Leaf Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Mesembryanthemum Crystallinum Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Wine Extract (1 ppm), Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Trihydroxystearin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Butylene Glycol, Water, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance

You can check the ingredients via SkinCarisma. They really do a nice ingredients analysis on their page. The balm is free from talc, sulfates, propylene glycol, formaldehyde-releasers, dye, alcohol, parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, formaldehyde, PEG, coal-tar, triclosan, and silicons silicones. And yet there are some beneficial ingredients, too. You will spot Lactic Acid for skin conditioning, Wine Extract as antioxidant, Glycerin as skin conditioning ingredient, and of course oils, like olive oil, moringa oil, and grape seed oil. If you have sensitive, allergic skin and skin troubles a closer look at the ingredients list is always advised. Do a patch test before using cosmetics anyways.

Here you can see how the balmy texture turns into oil once it comes into contact with the skin. Nevertheless, I didn’t feel that it leaves a greasy or uncomfortable feeling after washing it off.

When it comes to makeup removing this cleansing balm takes everything off and is very reliable. So far it never has failed me and is really a nice cleansing balm, that comes with a cute packaging on top…and a nice smell. I can recommend to give it a try!

I received this cleansing balm from BBCOSMETIC where it retails for 16.65 US (I don’t know if the code Q2C8JX9N45R3O for a chance of 10 % off your order is still valid). You can also get the Labiotte Wine Sherbet Cleanser on amazon.com for 20.55 US$ or amazon.de for 16.40€.

Did you hear about the brand Labiotte? Have you tried any of their products? I also have the famous Labiotte Wine Lip Tint. Do you want me to review it, too?

Review: 9Wishes Rose Hydrating Capsule Treatment

21. October 2017

// PR SAMPLE / SKINCARE / AFFILIATE LINKS //

Roses are the queens of all the flowers, and that’s for a good reason. Since the ancient times these flowers have been used for therapeutic benefits. The rose essential oils are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants antibacterial and therefore widely used in cosmetics products. I’m one of those rose-loving people when it comes to skincare and I’m really happy that BBCOSMETIC introduced me to the 9Wishes Rose Hydrating Capsule Treatment:

9Wishes is a Korean beauty brand which was unknown to me before. If you look at their official site you will also see that have a small range of beauty products and that the page is relatively new, so I guess the brand is quite new as well. The products have a sleek and pretty design and make me curious to try more.

The 9Wishes Rose Hydrating Capsule Treatment comes in a pale pink cardboard box with English and Korean description written onto. It doesn’t look especially fancy, but very simple. But inside you will discover the beautiful bottle containing the product and on my first glance I fell in love it! Look at that gorgeous pump bottle with rose-gold cap. And the treatment has even a pale pink color contains bits of rose petals (I guess) in it!

The 9Wishes Rose Hydrating Capsule Treatment is supposed to maximize the skin’s natural night-time renewal process and uses their special oil encapsulation technology for it. Although it is targeting the night-time renewal of the skin it can be used in the mornings and evenings on your cleansed face before using your moisturizer.

The ingredients of the treatment are listed below:

Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Water, Methylpropanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Acrylates/C10-30 Akyl Acrylates Crosspolymer, Argnine, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Caprylyl Glycol, Beeswax, Allatoin, sh-Decapeptide-9, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Powder, Ethylhexylylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Propanediol, Jadminum Officinale (Jasmine) Oil, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Centella Asiatica Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Artemisia Vulgaris Extract, Vaccinum Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extractm Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Rose Canina Fruit Oil, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extractm Morus Alba Fruit Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Rose Flower Oil, Cl 77491, Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolysed Glycosaminoglycans, Hydrolysed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hyaluronic Acid

You can see that there are various plant-based ingredients and especially a lot of rose extract and oils. The product is alcohol-free, sulphate-free and paraben-free. Apart from rose it contains a lot of Hyaluronic Acid for moisturizing, but also macadamia oil. Further more it contains Licorice Extract, which is one of my favourites. At the moment I’m trying a new tool for ingredients analytics and it is quite nice and I can recommend you to have a look at it: it is called Skincarisma and you can find the analysis of the 9Wishes Rose Hydrating Capsule Treatment >>here<<.

As you can see from the ingredients this treatment is especially suited for dry skintypes, but also contains some ingredients that promote wound healing. Since it contains jasmine oil and geranium oil people with sensitive skintypes should keep in mind whether they react to these ingredients or not. According to COSDNA and Skincarisma the ingredients are safe to use, only the jasmine oil has to be noted for sensitive people.

The 9Wishes Rose Hydrating Capsule Treatment is a gel type essence with a rose scent. Despite of the oils the application feels moist and watery and the product absorbs very quickly into the skin. The pink particles dissolve while rubbing the essence into the skin. Once absorbed there is no trace of oiliness or stickiness noticeable.

The glow and shimmer that you see on the picture below is only visible during the short moment while it absorbs. Afterwards there is no glow left on the skin, but it fully absorbs and leaves the skin matte, leaving only the rose scent behind. The skin feels hydrated on the area where you apply the essence.

You only need one or two pumps of the product to cover your face and in the time I’ve been using it I never had a bad reaction. Of course everyone is different, so be sure to check the ingredients before using and make a patch test on another part of your body if you know that your skin could react to it.

I’m completely happy with the 9Wishes Rose Hydrating Capsule Treatment and I feel sad that there is only one-third left in my bottle. I received this essence from BBCOSMETIC where it retails for 19 US$ and is on sale. You can use the code Q2C8JX9N45R3O for a chance of 10 % off your order, too! You can also get the 9Wishes Rose Hydrating Capsule Treatment on amazon.com for 35.20US$.

Did you hear about the brand 9Wishes? Have you tried any of their products? What do you think about roses as ingredients in cosmetics?

Review: Yadah Anti-T Red Zone Spot Cream

9. January 2017

I have heard from the brand Yadah during the times MeMeBox was still shipping internationally and I remember that I had two sample sized creams from this brand. I never ended up reviewing them, so I’m even more happy to show you another product from this brand today, the Yadah Anti-T Red Zone Spot Cream. This product was offered to me for reviewing purpose by BBCOSMETIC.

Yadah’s saying is “born to protect the pure and clear skin” and therefore this Korean brand isdedicated to use natural, low-chemical ingredients for their products. On the brand site they state that “Yada” is Hebrew and means “Wisdom”. Th ekey ingredient characteristic for their product is organic eastern prickly pear extract (opuntia humifusa). Their products are natural, hypoallergenic and mild with no artificial coloring, fragrance or preservatives and low chemicals.

What caught my attention about this brand was the characteristic illustrations on the product’s packaging, which is a red-haired girl. It makes the product look young and somehow modern/trendy to me. Yadah Anti-T Red Zero Spot Cream is a spot concentration treatment that helps to sooth red spots. The treatment is based on 7 patented natural ingredients that are illustrated on the cardboard box of the product.

This mixture of plant extracts is called BSASM™ complex and contains Centella Asiatica (Centella) Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum (Asian knotweed) Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis (Baikal skullcap) Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis (“tea flower”) Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract. This complex has strong soothing, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.

The full ingredients list is listed on the cardboard box in English and has been added to COSDNA as well. The best part of the ingredients list is that all the ingredients are green-labelled and the potential irritants are so few as well. Apart from the plant extract from the BSASM™ complex there are even more plant extracts included. Moreover you will find ingredients like niacinamide, plant based oils, hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin and many more.

The Yadah Anti-T Red Zone Spot Cream comes in an interesting pen-shaped tube. The tip of the tube acts as applicator as well. By pushing down the nudge you will get a pea-size amount of product on that applicator and you can apply it on your red spot. The best part is that you can simply sanitize the applicator afterwards and use it next time, keeping it as hygienic as possible without using your fingers. Actually, I really love that applicator and how easy it makes it to use this product. The spot cream has a regular cream-type consitency, and it also blends in nicely and absorbs after a while. I even could use it below my makeup without any troubles. I used it on one or two pimples I had in the past weeks and the cream was cooling upon application and helped to calm down the redness. Since I do not have troubled skin it is hard to say how the cream will work on acne or severe skin troubles.

I’m not someone who has troubled and irritated skin often. I have occasionally a pimple or two, but nothing too bad actually. It was nice to use this spot treatment on the pimples because of it cooling and soothing effect, so I guess if you have more of that kind a spot treatment like the Yadah Anti-T Red Zone Spot Cream will be great for you! I love how plant based extracts are used and the brands philosophy is to keep the chemicals low. You can get the Yadah Anti-T Red Zone Spot Cream from BBCOSMETIC for 16.98 US$ and from Amazon.com for 16 US$ What do you think? Do you use red spot treatments?

Review: RiRe Lip Powder

7. December 2016

I was super excited when I received this set of RiRe Lip Powder from BBCOSMETIC for reviewing purpose. I tried the RiRe Lipmanicure in the past and did really like it and I heard good things about these unique lip powders aswell. Here is my impression:

RiRe is a Korean brand which is not so widely known. When Clio Lipnicures were hyped they released a dupe called RiRe Lipmanicure. I was not happy with the Clio Lipnicure, although many people raved about it being super long-lasting. As soon as I heard about the dupe I ordered it and tried how it compared with the one from Clio and the result was that I liked it much better (read my review >>here<<). I heard about the new product from RiRe called Lip Powder a while ago, since it was reviewed by some bloggers and I was super excited to give it a shot. Now, I’m even more happy that I could try all 4 shades of the RiRe Lip Powder.

Here is the set I received, containing four shades of the RiRe Lip Powder and a Lip Stain Remover. Everything is packed in a pretty black box, neat and nice! The backside of the box lists the ingredients for all the products in English and Korean, too.

The shades are called 01. Orange Pop, 02. Hot Plum, 03. Sugar Rose, and 04. Fashion Red. They come in small, transparent plexiglass with a black cap. They really look adorable. Through the body of the tiny bottle you can see a fine powder inside the bottles.

Inside the caps are the angled applicators for the lip powders. You have to be careful when opening the bottles because the powder is super fine and may spill, similar to translucent powder you can use for mattifying.

What makes these powders so exceptional is the texture. It is a powder inside the bottle as you can see clearly, but as soon as you apply it on the skin or lips the texture changes and glides onto your skin. The RiRe Lip Powder leaves a soft stain. Depending on the layers you can make the stain stronger or softer.

The colors look distinct when swatched on my arm, but on my lips you will see that Hot Plum and Fashion Red look almost similar. Sugar Rose is a less intense pink/cherry toned as these two. Orange Pop looks like a classy red shade on my lips and on my arm swatch. The stain does not settle into the lips or feel drying, although you might think of a lip powder being drying. As I said, the texture becomes somehow fluid as soon as it touches your lips or skin. It is so magical!

The stain is quite long-lasting and therefore there is also a Lip Stain Remover included in the set. The RiRe Easy Clean Lip Remover doesn’t remove your Lips as the name would suggest, but is designed to remove the stain. It is a super effective oil-gel product and comes in a tube.

Below you can see how easy it was to remove my arm swatches. I applied the remover and rubbed it into the stain and then simply used a cotton pad to swipe off the color makeup. It was super easy and quick!

I love the whole kit! The RiRe Lip Powders have such a unique texture and they feel so lightweight on the lips. I love the light and natural colors of all the shades. I’m also happy about the lip stain remover which does a great job, too! So easy to remove the stains afterwards, too! The only downside I can think of is the short applicator. If they would revamp the packaging design I would wish they would make it longer. You can get the RiRe Lip Powders from BBCOSMETIC and they are really affordable, too! The whole set retails for 16.51 US$, the single shades for 5.71 US$, and the Remover retails for 4.62 US$. All in all not really expensive and worth a try! What do you think?

You can use the voucher Q2C8JX9N45R3O in order to get 10 % discount on BBCOSMETIC.

Review: VDL Expert Color Primer For Eyes

26. July 2016

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY / AFFILIATE LINKS //

For someone who never uses eyeshadow and always has wondered how the eyeshadow of other people is looking good even after a long night out eyeshadow primers will reveal a whole new world. I had the same experience when I tried my first primer and suddenly all the world around eye makeup and eyeshadow made sense. I’m happy to be able to introduce to you the VDL Expert Color Primer For Eyes, which was offered to me by BBCOSMETIC for reviewing purpose. This primer is one of the most famous ones in Korea.

VDL is a Korean brand by LG Household & Healthcare. The sleek and modern design of their products is unmistakable and is surely part of their popularity. Especially the primer from VDL have a very good reputation (I also bought the VDL Lumilayer Primer for the face, but I didn’t review it yet). The VDL Expert Color Primer For Eyes comes in a sleek cardboard packaging. Yet you will find reflective elements on the cardboard box and their colorful reflexions make it appear really modern and trendy. The primer itself comes in a square and simple tube, reminding me of brands like MAC and NARS.

On the cardboard box you will find the descriptions in Korean and English. The ingredients are also available on COSDNA (Thanks to Evelyn :*) if you are interested in looking them up. Using the VDL Expert Color Primer For Eyes is really simple, since it comes with a sponged applicator tip. The light beige fluid is applied thinly on the lid and blended in with the fingertip. You have to wait for a short time for the product to absorb before you can continue to apply the eyeshadow on top. It is advertised to be used on oil-free lids, so be sure to blot the skin.

As you can see from the swatch above the VDL Expert Color Primer For Eyes has a glossy finish. Therefore, when applying eyeshadow they appear more vibrant and pigmented than without. Also it helps to make powdery eyeshadow containing shimmer or glitter to appear more prominent. The VDL Expert Color Primer For Eyes does a good job in that it really makes the eyeshadow colors pop. In terms of long-lasting it gives the eyeshadow a boost, too, but you have to be sure to apply on the dried primer. Also, for oily lids the lasting-power is reduced. I have the feeling that it is less lasting than the matte eyeshadow primers, like the one from essence cosmetics for example.

The VDL Expert Color Primer For Eyes is a pretty descent eye shadow primer and I see why it is so popular. I really like how it brings out the colors of the eyeshadow and makes especially the shimmery ones look super great. It also helps to prevent the settling of the eyeshadow into the lines. In terms of long-livity of the used eyeshadow, it definitely does extend the wearability of eyeshadow, but not as much as other eye primers do. This might also be related on the grade of oiliness your eyelid has. I received this primer from BBCOSMETIC, but it is out of stock there at the moment. But they have a bunch of other products from VDL also worth a look. You can also use the voucher Q2C8JX9N45R3O in order to get 10 % discount on BBCOSMETIC.

If you want to try the VDL Expert Color Primer For Eyes you can get it here:

W2Beauty for 16.83 US$

Amazon.com 15.98 US$

Amazon.de 14.90 €

Testerkorea 12 350 Won (~13 US$)

What do you think of this primer for eyes? What is your favorite eyeshadow primer?

Review: Elizavecca 3 Step Sheet Masks

12. July 2016

You might have stumbled upon the giveaway I did on my Instagram account in collaboration with BBCOSMETIC?! If not, there is still a little bit time to enter the giveaway. Today’s review will be about the prices you can win: The Elizavecca 2 Step Sheet Masks! There are three different types of this mask available called Anti-Aging EGF Aqua Mask Sheet, Pore Solution Super Elastic Mask Sheet, and the Aqua White Water Illuminate Mask Sheet, all packed in an adorable packaging:

The Korean brand Elizavecca has gained quite some popularity among asian beauty lovers. The Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask of this brand really made a round in the asian beauty blogger community, and to my shame I must admit that I didn’t try it yet. Actually, this is my first product from Elizavecca…:D And it is not only the first time I’m trying the brand Elizavecca, but also the first time trying a sheet mask with 3 included steps! I did reviews of a 2 Step Sheet Mask by Forencos, which included ampoule and the sheet mask before, and I do like the idea of having many skincare steps combined to one sachet. The Elizavecca 3 Step Sheet Masks contain a cleanser, a sheet mask, and a third skincare product which fits to the specificities of the sheet mask.

Each 3 Step sheet Mask comes in a sachet with some cute illustrations of girls wearing sheet masks. The caption says “Liar Beautiful Girl”, which doesn’t make much sense, but anyways…Each of the three steps is in a separate chamber of the sachet, labelled with the numbers 1 to 3. The descriptions on the backside of the sachet are in Korean only.

Aqua White Water Illuminate Mask Sheet

Aqua White Water Illuminate Mask Sheet is targeting skin elasticity for for baby-smooth skin. It contains nutritious serum and EGF as key ingredient. As a first step you use the Bubble Water Cleansing Foam, in the second step the Anti-Aging Elastic Serum is provided. The third step is the Anti-Aging EGF Aqua Mask Pack. The cleansing foam is a regular foam cleanser with a neutral pH of 7. It foams up nicely, but also leaves the skin a bit tight. It is NOT the most drying cleanser I tried though. The serum is a clear gel-like fluid which feels moisturizing and nourishing. The mask is made of a think, see-through cotton, which is soaked densely with the essence. This mask feels moist and refreshed and has also nice cooling effect.

Pore Solution Super Elastic Mask Sheet

The Pore Solution Super Elastic Mask Sheet is for clearing up the face. It contains nutritious essence and bird’s nest extracts are for pore care and elasticity. First step is the pore cleansing foam. Second step is the Play Back Moisture Essence, and the last step is the Pore Solution Super Elastic Mask Pack. Also here the cleansing foam appears a regular foam cleanser with a neutral pH of 7. The essence feels hydrating and moist and is a bit more fluid than the serum from the previous mask. The sheet mask itself is a black sheet mask though.

Aqua White Water Illuminate Mask Sheet

The Aqua White Water Illuminate Mask Sheet is directed towards brightening and moisturizing the skin containing vitamins and glutathione as key ingredients. Here the first step is again cleansing the face, this time you’ll be using the Real Aqua Cleansing Foam. The second step is the sheet mask here. It is called the Aqua White Water Illuminate Mask Pack. As a last step you’ll use the Vita Aqua Moisture cream, a balm-type cream, in order to seal the moisture within your skin and give it a boost in hydration. The cream leaves a Sticky feeling and is better suited for the evening.

Below you can see the comparison between the textures of the sheet masks. The regular sheet mask on the left versus the black pore care sheet mask on the right.

I really like the Elizavecca 3 Step Sheet Masks. First of all, they are perfect for travelling, because you can take a small skincare routine in one sachet with you. Secondly, I like how well soaked the sheet masks were. Then, of course, they have a pretty and cute illustration on their sheet mask, too. :D Out of the three I liked the Aqua White Water Illuminate Mask Sheet most, because I loved the balm-type cream for sealing the moisture onto the skin. It is perfect for the nighttime routine. The other two were also suited for use during daytime. I received these sheet masks from BBCOSMETIC and they retail for 19.80 US$ for 10 pieces of one of the types and 12.99 US$ for 6 sheet masks (2 from each type). You can also use the voucher Q2C8JX9N45R3O in order to get 10 % discount on bbcosmetic. If you still have time feel free to join my giveaway on Instagram and you can test and try the sheet masks yourself!

What do you think of these multi-step sheet masks? Seems they are getting more and more common in the Korean beauty market.

Review: Clio Kill Black Waterproof Pen Liner

11. May 2016

With my discovery of Asian beauty I started to know and love pen eyeliner. They are so easy and convenient to use and they make your makeup routine much more quickly than using a gel or liquid eyeliner and still are comparably pigmented. I usually tend to use up my eyeliner pens before I buy any new ones so I just tried some of the available ones, like the Kiss Me Heroine Make Liquid Eyeliner Pen and the Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner Pen. Thanks to BBCOSMETIC I’m now able to try the famous Clio Kill Black Waterproof Pen Liner.

Club Clio Professional was founded by makeup artists in 1993 and they opened their first flagship in Seoul in 1998. They carry brands like Peripera and Goodal and the brand Clio of course. To be honest I did not try many of their products until now. except for the Clio Lipniqure (see my comparison review for the Clio and the RiRe Lip prducts)!

The Clio Kill Black Pen liner has been reviewed and liked by many other bloggers already and I’m sure that you will find more than one review for it when browsing the world wide web. Yet, keep in mind that there is also a Brush Liner available that looks similar but differs in the tip of the eyeliner. I didn’t try it though so I’m not able to compare them. The described pen liner in my post here though has been awarded the SokoGlam Awards and its description sounds really promising:

“A new and improved formula with an airtight locked cap makes the Clio waterproof pen liner unbeatable! No flaking, no smudging—this is liquid eyeliner revolutionized. The brush pen applicator tip allows for effortless dramatic winged eyeliner or barely-there, precise lines that will last all day and all night. And when you’re done? The Clio Waterproof Pen Liner is easy to remove with oil cleanser or makeup remover.”

No smudging, no flaking and long lasting pigmentation?! I’m in!! I have slightly hooded eyelids so I usually have the problem that my eyeliner if a bit bolder transfers to my eyelid, especially in the mornings when the makeup is still fresh and not tried completelly. So far I didn’t discover any eyeliner that didn’t smudge…

The Clio Kill Black Waterproof Pen Liner comes in a characteristic black and Yellow cardboard Box reminding me of “Kill Bill”. Inside the cardboard box you will find the pen liner. The eyeliner has a felt pen tip which is fine enough to draw thin lines but also allows bold eyeliner. The color is black and pigmented, too. It applies nicely on the eyes and allows building up the pigmentation with several strokes without flaking. So far so good, but what about the claim of being rub and waterproof? Honestly speaking I do not think that this eyeliner is waterproof. I could easily remove the swatches from my hand by rubbing (made it fade) and washing it with water only. The stain that remained was not really much of a deal anymore. Wearing it during the day turns out better still. The color only fades slightly, but usually my wings have disappeared completely. Also, like almost all other eyeliners, this eyeliner keeps transferring to my upper eyelid…:/

Compared to the other pen liner I tested this one comes before the Dolly Wink Pen Liner but still doesn’t compete with any waterproof liquid liner oder gel liner. The Clio Kill Black Waterproof Pen Liner is on the same rank as the Kiss Me Heroine Make Liquid Pen Liner for me. I received this eyeliner from BBCOSMETIC, but it is out of stock at the moment there. Still you might want t tske a look at this newly opened kbeauty store. You can use the code Q2C8JX9N45R3O for a chance of 10 % off your order, too! You can also get the Clio Kill Black Waterproof Pen Liner on amazon.de or amazon.com.

What are your favorite pen eyeliner?
