Etude House Etoinette mirror review

I have tons of compact mirror but this is the most expensive one I have brought so far. Simply because Etoinette series was beautifully design (not to mention all of them were sold in limited quantity). 
Name: Etoinette mirror (Season 1)
Brand: Etude House
Origin: Made in Korea

I asked my friend to buy this for me during her trip to Korea. I like season 1 better because I like pink and copper better than white and silver (season 2). 
The mirror is approximately 9cm, palm size and just the right size to do touch ups and checking. 

 This is how the back side of the mirror look like. I felt like a princess seeing that logo (and the copper colour) *smile*.

Unfortunately, it couldn't stand at all. This picture was taken with a nail polish behind it to support the mirror *laughs*. 
I guess that is it! Hope it helps ;)

Recent favorites (●´∀`●)

Sorry for the lack of updates, I was really busy with life! (and lazy 〜( ̄▽ ̄〜) 〜( ̄▽ ̄)〜 (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜) But since I need to submit this post to the magazine so I might as well as update my very inactive blog...
Here goes! introducing my recent favorite cosmetics ❤
* ★ = ALL time favorite 
From Left: Daiso's natural false lash, MM mascara ★, Canmake cream blush in red, Etude house liquid concealer ★, Etude house lipstick, Etude house liquid eyeliner in brown and black ★, Dollywink eyeshadow in brown, Candydoll mineral powder foundation ★, 3 Concept eyes foundation brush.

I just brought the Canmake cream blusher and immediately felt in love with it ! I have seen a lot of positive reviews on this blusher but never got a chance to try it... I have a pale skin and unfortunately the blushers i applied tend to disappear after 2-3 hours (QwQ) This blusher give me 4 hours flush ヽ( ˃ ヮ˂)ノ I know it's not much but better than reapplying every 2 hours *sobs*

Oh! I would wanna introduce you girls to my current must-have false lash ヽ(’ ▽’ )ノ

It's an inexpensive, natural and easy-to-use false lash! I simply love this! I could use it in whole or cut it half and blend it with my own lashes! The best part is that no one even know I wore them *sneaky laugh* #truestory It have a mixture of brown and black feathers and tied to a transparent band. The softness makes it easy to bend into your eye shape. 
( ´・‿-)~♡ 

I love using this during dates cause it won't scare him with those other exaggerated (cosplay-type) lashes I owned \(^∀^)メ(^∀^)ノ and if I never told him he won't even know it's false lash *giggles*

Anyway, I guess that's it! If you girls needed a detailed review on the products I used please do send a request via comment 
(ノ゚ο゚)ノミ★゜・。。・゜゜・

I was wearing Daiso false lash here! haha!

XOXO

[Quick Review] Battle of the liquid eyeliners! \(^ω^\)


Hey gals! Here's a review of a few eyeliners that is quite popular~
Lets see who are the "contestants". ヾ(●⌒∇⌒●)ノ
From left,
(click inside to see images of the eyeliners)
Dollywink liquid eyeliner in black

Packaging:
Bottle packaging liquid eyeliners:
Etude house proof 10 liquid eyeliner
&
Kiss me heroine make impact liquid eyeliner
I am not really a fan of bottle liners cause it's inconvenient ~ Even so, my first liquid liner is Etude house's #laughs. One of the pros is that it seems like you can never finish the liquid liner... there's a lot! #truestory. I have been using my Etude house liner since last year and it's still contain a lot more!
Pen liquid eyeliners
K-palette 24 hours real lasting liquid eyeliner
Kate super sharp liquid eyeliner in natural black
Kate super sharp liquid eyeliner in brown
Kate quick eyeliner in black
Dollywink liquid eyeliner in brown
Dollywink liquid eyeliner in black
Nice, it's easier to use and convenient. The only thing i dont like about it is that the volume of the liquid is lesser compared to bottle ones.

Pigmentation:
(★= 1 star, ✰=no star. More stars means better pigmentation.)
Etude house proof 10 liquid eyeliner: ★★★★★
K-palette 24 hours real lasting liquid eyeliner: ★★★★★
Kiss me heroine make impact liquid eyeliner: ★★★★★
Kate super sharp liquid eyeliner in natural black: ★★✰✰✰
Kate super sharp liquid eyeliner in brown: ★★★✰✰
Kate quick eyeliner in black: ★★★★✰
Dollywink liquid eyeliner in brown: ★★★✰✰
Dollywink liquid eyeliner in black: ★★★★✰


Now, off to the tests!
WATER TEST
I splashed water on all off them and dab the water off afterwards. All of them is stayed and I must say, they are very good at waterproofing. #giggles.
WATER + SMUDGING TEST
Green ones: passed
Red ones: failed
I rubbed them after splashing water on them and opps! Apparently some of them smudged a little!
MAKE UP REMOVER TEST
Splashed some make up remover on them. Dollywink eyeliners and Kiss me impact eyeliner is starting to dissolve~ While others still stand firm!
EASE OF REMOVING TEST
From left:
Etude house poof 10 liquid eyeliner
Average. After you remove it, there will be little bits of black things left on your skin.
K-palette 24 hours real lasting liquid liner
Hard to remove. I rubbed it but it still stays! Oh my goodness.....
Kiss me heroine make impact liquid eyeliner
Easy to remove! I just rubbed it and it's off!
Kate super sharp liquid eyeliner in natural black and brown
This is the most stubborn eyeliner i have encountered.... Even if you removed it, there is still some black/ brown thingy left on your skin. Here's a prove:
 See what i mean ? =_="
Kate quick eyeliner
The tip is very special, feels like a marker pen~ dries fast on your lids and it's okay to remove. Not easy and not hard~
Dollywink liquid eyeliner in black and brown
Easy to remove and also my fave of all! xD

So i guess that's it! hope my quick review helps! TATA !

Christmas Sales hauls

I am back with new hauls ! \(^ω^\) Since i am new to cosmetics so i just realize there's Christmas sale, and believe me, those sales could get a little crazy sometimes ! @@ (crazy as in very cheap)
From left: 
Nail polishes my sister brought. 
She likes nail art a lot, so she brought those when they're on sale.
Nanowhite milk cleanser a.k.a make up remover. 
I didnt have a make up remover, i was using lotion to remove my base make up all along. So i wanna try a make up remover, and when i saw this on sale i grabbed it as quick as possible ! (`・ω・´)
Arezia's 48 eyeshadows palette ~ I needed one colorful eyeshadows palette due to my photoshoot during Mid-December so i brought this when i saw there's a reasonable price in Sasa.
The Face Shop lash glue. This is going to be my second bottle. (°∀°) My last one wasn't finish yet but i saw it on sales so i just brought it. I needed it anyway.
Majolica Majorca's Skin remaker pore cover. I needed a base make up, my last one is too cheap and have no mirrors with very ugly appearances.... So i worked very very very hard and brought this to comfort myself after all the hard works. Finally, i brought it ! (゚ヮ゚)
Revlon Lip butter in strawberry shortcake. I only have nude lip colors and i need a pink one cause photogs was complaining about my lips disappearing after a flash .... ●﹏● So i brought one.
Love Meex crayon eyeliner. 
In 2 It blusher. 
Etude House LUCIDarling Over the Rainblusher. Hightligther !!! I needed one !!! and it's on sales !!! LUCKY ME !!! (≧o≦)
So I am going to babble about what i've brought now =P
Information: Majolica Majorca's Skin Remaker Porecover powder foundation
Shade: OC10
SPF18+
Origin: Made in Japan
Net Weight: 10g
Ingredients(first 5): Mica, Synthetic Fluophlogopita, Talc, Titanium dioxide, Zinc Myristate and etc.
Babbling: Now this is pricy, I've been planning to buy this since i realize i needed a powder foundation. Thank you Watson for the promotion [even if the price doesn't really reduced too much (• ε •)]! Plus, i've seen soooo many reviews about this foundation, lots of girls saying it's good for people with combination skin, so i gave this a try. I've only used it once, during my presentation and it have a medium coverage (=3=).... for some girls, it's a good thing, but i prefer heavy coverage stuff. I like heavy coverage things but i didnt buy them cause i know there's a price to pay to have a flawless looking skin, TALC a.k.a somethings that dries up your skin, it's cheap so most cosmetics contain them. I dont really mind though, cause my skin isn't really dehydrated (and i am not using make up daily). I choose OC10 cause it's a neutral shade for all Asian skin. [no comments on packaging cause i would end up writing a very long blog post telling you how much i adores the out look of that box]. Btw, the quality of the box is average, plastic. 
Information: Etude House LUCIDarling Over the Rainblusher
#01 Hawaii
Origin: Made in Korea
Net Weight: 7.0g (0.24oz)
Ingredients (first 6): Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Talc, Dimethicone, Mineral Oil, Polymethyl and etc.
Babbling: This one is very cheap. The price was reduced sooo much during sales. ♫♪˙❤‿❤˙♫♪
It comes with a mirror and a useful synthetic brush. I find it very annoying when i brought something and it comes with a useless brush. ●︿● Yeah, you get what i mean. I used this brush to highlight my T-zone, cheeks and chin.

Left flash ON, Right NO flash
Shimmery pretty colors (◡‿◡✿) It's pigmented and the shimmer still stays on your face even after a few hours. Yes yes yes, there's TALC too, like i said, you can't avoid cosmetics without it cause it's cheap. Oh yes, I almost forget to comment on the out look of this compact. One word, feminine.
Information: IN 2 IT blusher
CW 06 lust
Origin: Made in Thailand
Net Weight: 3g
Ingredients(first 5): Talc, Dimethicone, Mineral Oil, Squalane, Hexastearate and etc.
Babbling: Got this during a sales too ~ very very cheap. I am using this for shading purposes, it's average pigmented and mostly only suits fair and asian skin tones(cause it's kinda orange-y too).
Useless synthetic brush. (✖╭╮✖) Luckily i have my own shading brush. 
I have to take a close up on the powder, there're butterflies and floral patterns on the powder, that is attractive but i bet it'll disappear after a few swirls on it. TALC TALC TALC everywhere, and this time, it's first in the list. Yes, and the packaging looks flowery and nice but i dont like how small the mirror is, how do you expect me to look into the mirror that small ? 

Yeah, I am not going to talk about everything i've just brought, i just wanna share my opinions on them. (✿◠‿◠) On the other hand i am exhausted ! Assignments, courseworks and etc all at once ! It's like they buried me or something ... Hope my information helped. Ta ta.

Etude House Proof 10 liquid eyeliner and DollyWink eyeliner

Sorry for the lag of updates, I was busy with assignments and life =P Here's a double liquid eyeliner reviews.
1) Etude House's Proof 10 liquid eyeliner

Whole Bottle

Close up (Front and back)


This is the brush of the eyeliner.

Price: RM 20++ (affordable for me as prices for foreign brands liquid liners is mostly more expensive than that)
Lasting: I've wore this for the whole day, it might wear off by the end of the day, so you might need to touch up during half of the day.
Pigmentation: This is very very black. *There's more pictures of it below.
Brush: Thin enough for me.Not so easy to control, but you'll get the hang of it sooner or later.
¸,¤°´'`°•.¸¸.•°´'`°¤,¸ ¸,
When it says there's 10 proofs, no kidding. Even though it will wear off by the end of the day but it's really smudge proof and waterproof, sweat proof and etc. =D

2) Dolly wink black liquid eyeliner


Dolly Wink's brush.

Price: RM54+ (at Sasa, it's expensive for me.)
Lasting: It's lasting ! I've wore it for an entire day and it wont even smudge ! 
Pigmentation: Good enough for me !
Brush: Very thin, easy to control. But if you accidentally drew wrong, you have to move very fast to rub it off with a cotton bud, cause this liner dried up fast !
¸,¤°´'`°•.¸¸.•°´'`°¤,¸ ¸,
I have to be honest with you, i didnt use Dolly Wink as much as my Etude House's liner, cause it's much more expensive for a budget buyer like me. I won't really wanna finish it up. But i've seen tons of reviews about it saying it's good so i reckon it's worth the price ?
To be honest, beside's the price of DollyWink's liquid liner i really didn't have any complaint about it.
________________________________________________
EYELINER ON MY HAND ! =D (LOL)
The left is Etude House's Proof 10 eyeliner and the right one is Dolly Wink's.
As you can see, Etude House's liner's brush is thicker than Dolly Wink's and harder to control.
Thicker brushes can easily create a dramatic look while thinner one can create a more natural look.

¸,¤°´'`°•.¸¸.•°´'`°¤,¸ ¸,
The picture below showed how the eyeliners react after I rub them with water very VERY hard. =)
I splashed them with water = no reaction.
I rub them lighty = no reaction.
I rub them HARD = a little reaction.

Left: Etude House's
Right: Dolly Wink
I dont think you would rub your eyes THAT hard to make the eyeliner smudge like that. Cause it'll be painful =P

*updated with new pictures. (My mum brought a new camera ! Finally !≧◡≦)
