Review: Holika Holika Jewel-Light Waterproof Eyeliner No. 07

6. May 2014

// KBEAUTY / MAKe UP / AFFILIATe LINKS //

Today’s review is about Holika Holika Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner No.07. With Etude House’s Play 101 pencil liners coming up now it may be interesting to have another set of good pencil liners in the back of your head, especially if you like pencil liners with glitter particles. I received this one in the Lunar New Year Giveaway by Tiffany, Misa and Maryangela (check out their blogs by clicking on their names!:D). Thanks again to all three of them for the nice products!♥

There are 16 shades available in total and each of them does contain shimmer/glitter. The pencils have a simple design, each of them in the color of the eyeliner, so you can grab easily your desired color. The pencils are made of soft plastic, which can be sharpened easily. The eyeliners don’t contain a sharpener themselves, but any usual sharpener works.

The eyeliner I received has a white shimmering color which is nice for highlightening. It is supposed to be smudge proof, waterproof and long lasting and it fulfills all these criteria as you can see in the image below. Only with rubbing and warm water together it starts to give in.
The ingredients don’t contain anything harmful, even hydrogenated castor oil, which may cause acne, is nothing to worry about, since you don’t use this product on your whole face (hopefully :D – it won’t look pretty).

Cyclomethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Mica, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Polyethylene, Ceresin, Titanium Dioxide(Ci 77892), Silica, C12-15 Alkyl Ethylhexanoate, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil
 
All in all there is nothing negative to say about this pencil eyeliner. It applies smoothly, it is pigmented and it is smudge- and waterproof. Even the price is good ;)
 
You can get these at:
Twofacemall for US$ 8.05 ( free shipping option)
 
W2Beauty from US$ 7.52 onwards (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)
 
Testerkorea from 4900 Won onwards (around 5 US$) (shipping depends on weight)
 
Also check out ebay!

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: Solone Alice In Wonderland Collection Perfect Drawing Eye Liner ♥sponsored♥

1. September 2013

Hello ♥

I’m very excited to review Solone’s Alice In Wonderland Collection Perfect Drawing Eye Liner today. ♥ Everybody loving Alice In Wonderland and any related product to this beautiful story: Be prepared! After seeing these pictures, you’ll wish to own the whole collection, just to have it and to look at the beautiful illustrations by the artist Stanley Dai over and over again.

Solone is a Taiwanese brand for make up and beauty. The name consists of three elements: So Colorful, Love and New Age. In collaboration with the artist Stanley Dai they created a collection dedicted to the world of Alice In Wonderland. This collection contains the Perfect Drawing Eye Liner, the Vivid Fantasy Smoody Pencil, the Role Switching Liquid Eyeliner and the Rose Covering Makeup Remover Pencil. The promotional pictures below belong to Solone and were edited by myself. You can click on the to enlarge :)

I’m reviewing Solone Alice In Wonderland Collection Perfect Drawing Eye Liner No.2, a black colored Eyeliner with shimmering particles. There are 4 shades available, two of them containing shimmering particles and the remaining two don’t.
The properties of the product are described as followed:
– Glamorous eyeliner design. Built-in Swarovski crystal, presenting a shining glamour and elegant eyeliner.
– Easy to apply, smooth and good color texture.
– 10 sec speedy dry, new water-proof and skin-oil resistant formula.
– Provided with a sharpener.

Below you’ll find the product description by Solone:

The packaging is beautiful and really want me to buy all the other products as well ♥ *_* The products description of the packaging is in Taiwanese, unfortunately. But there are little drawings inside, showing how to applicate the eye liner. You can enlarge the images by clicking on them.
The pen is black and has the brand name written on in curvy, pink letters. The cap is from plastic and has the built-in Swarovski crystal on the top.
You can sharpen the tip of the pencil and a pink sharpener is included with this product, too. The color of this eyeliner is black with a bit of shimmer. It’s not too much of shimmering, which I prefer. The eyeliner is rubbing proof and waterproof to a certain extend. If you combine rubbing with water the eyeliner will disappear.
Would I repurchase this eyeliner pencil? Yes and no. Yes, because I love the packaging, but now I already have it. No, because I’d like to try out the liquid eyeliner. I like this eyeliner pencil, but I love liquid and gel liner more. If you are a fan of pencil eyeliner I’d recommend you to try this. It is rubbing and water proof if you don’t overdo it and has a beautiful packaging.
You can get Solone Alice in Wonderland Collection from Beauty Chamber. At the moment there is a back to school promotion with 10% off the entire order. It doesn’t list all the products which are available, so if you are looking for something special like this, write an Email to Amber, the shop owner, and she’ll give you a quote.

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

Review: Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Deep Black

3. July 2013
Another product that I ordered recently and now fell in love with is Kiss Me’s Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner. It’s actually the first time I bought a pen eyeliner :D It’s so easy to use, I’m really impressed!
Kiss Me is a japanease brand (my first Japanease product, too :D). The packaging of the Heroine Make Line has a very characteristic design displaying Marie Antoinette Anime drawing on it. Thus it looks very nostalgic and girly with a lot of ornaments embroided in gold on the products. The Anime character reminds me of old Animes like “Georgie” and “Lady Oscar”, with the curly hair and long and dense lashes. I’ve always loved those Animes ◕ ‿ ◕ Here is a link to their web presence if you want to have a look at their products.
The Kiss Me’s Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner Pen comes in a cute packaging, as already described above. The pen itself is dark purple and has golden letters and ornaments on it. The pen’s tip is very very fine. I never used a pen of this kind before, so I was really supprised about the fine tip. The color of the eyeliner is buildable, so you can either use it very naturally or darken it to your desired pigmentation.
The eyeliner color is waterproof, using cold water nothing happens. It’s smudgeproof too, as long as the rubbing is not to intense or combined with warm water. But using warm water and a bit rubbing it fades easily. At the end of a working day parts at your inner eye area start fading. That’s really the only downside I see. I’d wish it would stay on eyes longer.
I really like how easy this eyeliner is to use and I’m really happy about my purchase. I will try out other liquid eyeliner pens in future :D
You ca buy this product at:
– Sasa for 12.30 US$ (depending from where you order you have to take the shipping costs into considerration)
– Testerkorea for ~18 US$ (depending from where you order you have to take the shipping costs into considerration)
– Ichibankao for ~17 US$ (regular post service included)
