[REVIEW] Holika-Holika Magic Pole Mascara 2X in 03 Volume and Curl



Hi, mortals! What's up?

Today i'll be reviewing my new mascara that i bought in South Korea. It's Holika-Holika Magic Pole Mascara 2X in 03 Volume and Curl. Whew, what a long name. So typical korean make up products (lol). I bought it for 9900 KRW, i guess. I forgot (sorreeeeeee). I also googled about the price, and it's around 9900-10900 KRW.


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Waterproof mascara with magical power. Volumises & curl your lashes. Easy removal with warm water. A specially designed magic pole brush makes lashes you never had.


I realised that there was an old packaging of this product. It was purple, not blue.

See?
I think the new packaging is better. The colour and font, i mean. But they do still use the same design for the brush! (brush holder? whatever elelel).

And they also had the purple version of the new design! I got the blue one, as you can see down below. The box isn't like the other boxes btw, It's not cube or block, but it's triangular prism. (wow so math)

You could see the english instruction aka how-to-use this mascara btw.


detail
[How to use]
Step 1. Lift eyelashes up with magic stick.
Step 2. Spread eyelashes with magic ball.
Step 3. Reapply it for more dramatic look.

ayyyyy spell


Now let's take a look at the product, yo.

front + brush

back

So, at first, I tried to follow the how-to-use instruction. I want to see how it turns out.
so, this is how my lashes looks like. Not curled, and no mascara at all. Typical chinese eyelashes.


theeenn i curled my lashes


I applied as the instruction, the magic stick first as the first coat.


and this is the result after i applied the magic ball as the second layer/coat.
It looks kinda messy, and idk if it was my fault or the mascara. I tried to erase it and did it again, but it turned out almost the same. So i tried to do it "normally" on my other eye. (lashes?)


AND this is the result! I like this normal-method better hahaha. It looks so much better, and more volumised, and curled. But i actually layered my lashes once again with the magic ball only in this picture. Don't look at my eyebrows (lol). I'm too afraid to trim it........i don't want to make any mistake, so i'll just let it be like that for now.


LEFT VS RIGHT
NORMAL VS AS INSTRUCTED
Now you guys could actually see the difference clearly. Which one do you prefer? I personally prefer the left one, of course.


RESULT:
Pros
-Nice packaging
-I really like the result on my eyelashes
-Waterproof
-Easy to clean off (I prefer to use make up remover because it removes everything faster and effectively, even you could actually clean it with warm water.)

Cons
-Kinda hard to control the brush
-Not that affordable


FINAL RESULT
9/10

re-purchase? yep. I really like it, actually. (huehuehue)




Thanks for reading!
Have a nice day.

[REVIEW] Etude House Color Lips-Fit in Perfect Fit Red (RD301)

Ayyy, mortals!

Today I'll be reviewing a lip product from Etude House! It's called Etude House Color Lips-Fit. Wheeeee, such a long name..........

I bought this in South Korea, in EH counter at Lotte World, for exact. I chose the colour "Perfect Fit Red" (RD301). It's around KRW9000, I guess..... or it is KRW9000? I forgot. (Sorre)





It smells like...strawberry and grape? I'm not sure. 


detail




(PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COLOUR APPEARS PINKIER IN THESE PICTURES ABOVE AND BELOW.  I really like the actual colour, (which i couldn't show you ayyy camera sux yo.) btw.



This is how it looks like when i swatch it on my hand. It looks pretty glowy and satin-y.


You could see my natural lips colour is very pale pink. I dotted the brush on my lips to make a natural finish.


one, thin layer of the product.
This is how it looks like after i blended everything. It's pretty easy to blend, btw. It looks so pinkish and natural at the same time.


This is the result when i use the brush and spread the product onto my lips.
It has a satin finish at the first. (It turned to a matte finish after a few minutes btw.) It's kinda hard to use the brush. Maybe i need to practice more?


I also checked if it transfers immediately after. And yes, it does.......


After 8 kisses on my hand (yeah i counted) (i have no one to kiss *cri*), it turned out to a nice matte finish. It tastes like nothing, for me.
Oh yeah, i also waited a few minutes until it became matte then did another transfer-test. It doesn't transfer at all!

PS: I also heard that you could use the product as a blusher. Will update later.


RESULTS:
*Pros
lovely colour,
lovely finish, 
moisturising,
affordable,
doesn't crack.

*Cons
have to wait a few minutes to become matte,
hard to use/control the brush,
will transfers before it is matte,
stains really badly and extremely noticeable (on your finger) if you blend it with your fingers.

Final Result
8/10


re-purchase? another colour, maybe.

Have a nice day.
