Tony Moly Cherry Lip Tint Review

Hey Guys!
I was meaning to post this review much earlier, but better late than never.

The Tony Moly cherry lipstint is a liquid lip stain, very much like Benefit's Benetint. Here in America liquid lipstains are not as common as the ones that come in crayon form. Which is the opposite in Korea, because about every  makeup brand will have a liquid lipstain.

I read somewhere online that this product was used by Goo Hye Sun when she was in "Boys Over Flowers" so it became super  popular. Also since I've been seeing that ulzzang lip tutorial everywhere I decided to give it a go.

Price : ♥♥♥♥♥  I love the price because it doesn't break the bank. You can find on Ebay two of the round bottles, which are the samples size that I have for around $4 USD and even includes free shipping.

Packaging:  ♥♥♡♡♡ I dont't like the packaging that much, I have the round bottle and it leaks a little bit. So I have to be uber careful to close it really tight. I'm even scared of carrying it on my purse fearing it will stain my purse. The applicator is much like every lipgloss, it's a doe foot type of applicator which is great because it allows you to place the tint exactly where you want it.

Formula ♥♥♡♡♡ I was not impressed. I find that it is very pigmented and dries very fast, thus making it hard to blend. Also it leave stains on your fingers. I know I have not mastered the "ullzang lips" but I don't like how it looks on me, my lips look more dry than usual, I have to put on clear lipgloss to make it look normal. Clear gloss makes my lips look too red, and I don't like that.

Overall: ♥♥♥♡♡ I don't like it that much, and I just wouldn't purchase it again. I think it looks very weird on my lips once the lipgloss has worn off. Maybe I will try pink liptints.

Korean Cosmetics Haul+ Big Bang Alive Tour+ 300 Followers

Hey guys!
So I purchased a few Korean cosmetics from Ebay again. But really most of them were things I needed. Only one product I purchased it to try it out.

I could officially say that Cosmtic-love is my favorite seller on Ebay. The prices are very reasonable and with free shipping+ free samples. Gotta love it!

This was everything I received

This was what I actually purchased.

Etude House Color My Brows in shades 1 & 2. (backcup)
Tonymoly Cats Wing Mascara in Volume and Longlash (backup)
Etude House My Blooming Lips-talk in BE101 (running low on my favorite lipstick, so need a new everyday one)
Tonymoly Cherry Lips Tint #1 (this one the product I wanted to try it out)

My samples were these

 Too lazy to list them all but you get the idea. I even got a face mask!

I will probaly review the brow mascara and the lipstick soon.

About Big Bang.
Remember that a couple months ago I posted about considering going to their show in L.A.
It it going to be held in the same venue as SMTOWN. I really wanted to go, until I got the email about the ticket prices ranging from $300 to $50 USD.

Since I have a debt to payoff I can't go because I need to be more responsible about my spending (those are my father's words). I told my self that this wasn't important enough so I'd pass. Maybe next time if they ever come back again.

So anyways on Sunday I woke up at 10, the time the tickets went on sale. Out of curiosity I just wanted to see the prices for each section. So when I clicked to give me the best available tickets...there were no more tickets they all had sold out within 10 minutes!

Kind of crazy if you ask me.

I would have been frustrated if I was a VIP, but since I'm not... whatever.

As a final note I want to say thanks to all of you. I reached 300 followers sometime between Sunday and yesterday.

I'm very thankful to everyone who reads my blog and comments.

Thank you so much ♥♥♥

Tonymoly Cats Wink Mascara Review

Hey guys
Long time no reviewing anything, but I will start reviewing more often.

Not too long ago I mentioned in a post that I had purchase this mascara. I had previously read reviews from fellow bloggers about this product. Plus, I couldn't resist the cute packaging.

My cat face is faded because I carry the mascara in my purse

The product comes with two formulas:

1- Volume & Longlash
2- Curling & Longlash.

I purchased no. 1. Volume & Long lash.

Comparison of the brushes with the Cover Girl Lash Blash

My right eye I applied only one coat of the mascara, my left eye has no mascara.

I was really impressed with this mascara. I have to say it is my favorite. I never understood how people could pick a favorite mascara because for me all the American mascaras I've tried did nothing for my lashes. Since Tonymoly Cats Wink is a fibering mascara it will lenghten your lashes.

Pros:

- Cheap.

- Holds a Curl.

- It's not clumply.

- Doesn't smudge.

- Watery formula, helps build up the product better.

- Only needs one coat to get great results.

- Not waterproof. It's easier to take off at night .

Cons

- Troublesome to buy. You have to buy it online if you are not from Korea, and takes time to deliver.

I would definitely keep repurchasing this mascara. I love how it makes my eyelashes look long. It has become my holy grail!

I Love Online Shopping

Hey guys!
I just realized this is my 100th post! It doesn't seem like, I feel like I stared this blog a few months ago. Into the subject. So I've been online shopping these days, it is just so convenient and sometimes cheaper than shopping in store. Some of the things came on the mail this week.

New circle lenses from Pinkyparadise.

Dueba Blossom Brown, Dueba Puffy 3 Tone Grey, and Geo Princess Mimi Grey. I don't plan on opening them all at once. I will save them for later, I only have opened the Puffy 3 tone. Review coming soon.

New shams for my bed

God knows I needed these badly, my old pillowcase was hideous. I wanted pastel pink ones, but I can only seem to find hot pink ones and I don't like those because my room has more of a soft/pastel feel. So for the moment I will settle for white ones.

Decoden stuff.

Since I ran out of materials for a case I'm decorating, I purchased a lot of these from Etsy. I actually have another package from Fullmoon on the way.

TonyMoly cosmetics from Ebay

The mascara and the face mist are from Costmetic.Love which always includes free samples yay! Another TonyMoly package it's on the way.

That's it's for today. Sorry for not posting anything last week, it's been hectic.

Tony Moly Cappuccino Cream in Scrub Review

Hey guys!
This is my last post for 2011, I first want to thank you for following me this year. I truly appreciate the time you take to read and comment my posts! Hope for you the best for 2012!

So back to the topic of this post. Tony Moly is a Korean brand of skincare products, although they have some makeup products too their focus is mostly skincare. Most of their products have very cute packaging and it is all made from natural ingredients.

This super cute "coffee cup" it's actually a facial scrub!

It promises to remove the dead skin cells, providing moisture and nutrients. It is suitable to dull complexions and dehydrated skin.

The top of the product looks like a coffee cup with a spoon which is actually a spatula.
The cup unscrews from the bottom to reveal the bottom where the scrub is.
The scrub is not a liquid, nor a gel, nor some sort of pasty consistency, it is actually solid, and once it touches your skin, the warmth of your skin melts the product. As you can see it is very brown, but once you start massaging the product onto your skin it will become clear, and that's when it you are suppose to wash it off.

What I have noticed is that Asian skincare is more gentle on the skin, and this scrub is no exception, it has the tiniest beats ever, you can barely feel them, so it is so gentle that you can even use it everyday. Complementing the coffee cup container the products smells like... yes you guessed it, coffee.

As for my final verdict I would not repurchase this product. mostly due because it is too gentle on my skin, and honestly I cannot tell the difference when I use this product.
