Review: Holika Holika Jewel-Light Waterproof Eyeliner

Mood:  

It has been awhile since I last updated my blog...and I apologize for not updating for a long period of time. I have been so busy lately that I hardly had time to use the computer. (><")

Anyway, I have a lot of things such as Hauls, Favorites and Reviews to write and share about so stay tuned alright? I will try to update as often as I can... :x

For today's topic, it's all about Holika Holika Jewel-Light Waterproof Eyeliner which became part of my holy grail makeup item~☆ 

I grabbed a handful of eyeliners from Holika Holika for the past two months and honestly, I love every single of them! They are just plain awesome!

From left to right: 01 Black, 02 Black Crystal, 03 Lapis Lazuli, 04 Purple Amethyst, 05 Brown Amber, 06 Olive Peridot, 08 Pink Topaz(for undereye) and 09 18k Gold(for undereye).

There are a few more colors which I did not pick it up. The colors I did not have are 07 One Carat Diamond(for undereye), 10 Chocolate Citrin, 11 Light Brown Amber, 12 Olive Jade. Probably I would buy the rest of the colors in the future.

FYI, 09 18K Gold, 10 Chocolate Citrin, 11 Light Brown Amber and 12 Olive Jade are the new additional colors in Year 2012. :)

Here are the swatches~:

Likes:

- Waterproof!

- Smudge-proof!

- Long-lasting!

- Soft & creamy.
- Glides on smoothly!

- Glittery!

- Pretty colors!

- Can be use as eyeshadow~

- Sharpen-able 

- Easy to remove with makeup removal except for the glitter might be a little stubborn... -_-

Dislikes:

- Yes, it's waterproof BUT... somehow I think it's not sweat-resistant/sweat-proof. FYI, it does smear when I sweat a lot. :(
- Glitter does runs when rub hardly

- Take some time to remove the glitter traces completely despite using makeup removal.

I have a little disappointment with 06. It supposed to be Olive shade however the color looks more like a mixture of brown and black... :( As for 01, it's just an ordinary black eyeliner... So for recommendation, I would highly recommend 02, 03, 04, 05, 08 and 09.

UPDATE on 27th November 2012:

How to sharpen the eyeliner?: 

Just treat the eyeliner like a "normal pencil/color pencil" and use any sharpener to sharpen it. :D

Review: Perfume Atomizer Spray

Mood: 

Perfume Atomizer Spray

Grabbed this Perfume Atomizer Spray after hearing a lot of raves about this product. Honestly, this product is really awesome and I have already purchased another bottle in pink for my Victoria's Secret Bombshell Perfume. :P

I filled this red one with my Lanvin Éclat D'Arpège perfume~ :D

This little perfume atomizer spray is really easy to fill and refill~
Step 1: Remove the nozzle spray cap(?) from the perfume.
Step 2: Place the perfume atomizer spray upright on top of the perfume nozzle peg(?) stick(?) or whatever it's called.
Step 3: Repeatedly pump up & down to fill~ Do not overfill! You can tell how much you have filled in the perfume atomizer bottle through the fill level indicator window.

it's easy, isn't it?

Likes:
- Cheap
- Light-weight and small size

- Portable to carry wherever I go
- Easy to use; very handy

- Refillable and it's very easy to refill

If I'm not mistaken, there are 7 colors to choose from:
Red, Pink, Purple, Blue, Silver, Gold and Black.
I got the red and pink one.♥ Might be getting the purple bottle in the future.

Dislikes:
- un-washable...

I showed this to my family and friends and they want it as well~ LOL. It's a replica product so it's cheaper than the genuine brand. :x Though it's a replica product, it works out awesomely too. As long as it works out great and the price is cheap, I don't really mind about the brand. HAHAH~

If you ever see this product selling somewhere, grab one! You will never regret buying this. :D

Review: Etude House Black Charcoal Chin Pack

Mood:

Etude House Black Charcoal Chin Pack
I will do a review on the Collagen Eye Patch in the future. Right now, let's put our focus on the Black Charcoal Chin Pack~ :)

Description: Formulated with black charcoal additives to remove oil and pore deep sebum. Patch tightens pores and contains Aloe Vera to improve chin complexion.
Directions: Wet chin with water. Remove clear film from pack and fasten adhesive side to chin for 10-15minutes. Remove strip when dry.

Likes:
- easy to use
- extreme sticky
- contains charcoal
- smoother chin complexion

however......,

Dislikes:
- DOES NOTHING -_- Didn't see anything on the strip. Not even a single nasty was pulled out!
- Remove oil and pore deep sebum? No, I don't think it did much... :/
- leaves a red patch after peeling it off but it will slowly fade off after some time...

Effectiveness: 1/5 -.-

Well, I think this chin pack is just a waste of money because it does nothing for me! -.- I bought 10 pieces and I seriously regretted buying so many at one go. I should have just buy 1-2 pieces to try out first. Grrr... (T^T) I thought it would work out great though....Sigh, so disappointing! (ノ><)ノ

I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone but if anyone out there wanna try it, I would advise you to get 1-2 pieces to try first.

Would I Repurchase?: No, never for me. I don't find this product useful. :/ It's a waste of moneyyyyyy....... RAWRRRRR!~
