Review: Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner (Brown)

Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner in Brown

 

 

 

 

         

creamy

Doesn't dry out (It has been years already and still creamy)

I bought it about 4 years ago and I still love it as much

(Should probably throw it away now) hehe

Has a soft brush!

Overtime, the brush will clump up

(If you don't clean it every use)

I can't say anything bad to this product,  its really really good

If your planning to get it, get it! I assure you, you will love it!

Buy it! Now! Its on sale for now for $8.72

(Free Shipping!)

Where do I shop: SASA and Cosmetic Love ♥

SASA and Cosmetic Love

On this post i'm going to review/my thoughts on my 2 FAVORITE PLACES TO SHOP ONLINE. 

Sasa and Cosmetic love are my favorite sites for browsing and buying my Skin care and Cosmetic Products.

About Cosmetic Love: Korea 

Cosmetic Love strive to provide our customers with the wide range of Korean cosmetic products from various Korea brands such as Laneige, Etude House, Tony Moly, Missha, Skinfood, TheFaceShop etc, and we are planning to exapnd our line-up of other beauty brands as well. All products are 100% GENUINE and recently produced as we purchase direct from the Korean retail shop and manufacturer.

About Sasa: Hong Kong

Sa Sa International Holdings Limited ("Sa Sa" or "the Group") is a leading cosmetics retailing group in Asia. Listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Stock Exchange) in 1997 (Stock Code: 178). Its over 250 retail stores and counters in Asia selling over 600 brands of skincare, fragrance, make-up and hair care, body care products, health and beauty supplements including own-brands and exclusive products. The Group employs over 4,600 staff in six markets across the region, covering Hong Kong, Macau, Mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan.

----------------------

Products:

As for products, SASA has more wider range of products and more popular compared to Cosmetic Love.(Cosmetic Love/2012 a newer site; when Sasa/2000)

Customer Service:

Both good! and thumbs up! :)

Prices:

I find that some of the products from Cosmetic Love is much more cheaper than Sasa.

Promotions:

Sasa - they always have offer and changes everytime. I like that idea. sometimes they include free shipping too!* :)

Cosmetic Love - they give free gift/samples for every order/combined shipping gifts. Freebies and free tracking number will be provided with multiple quantities of purchase. 

Shipping/Rates:

(UK)

both ship worldwide

Sasa - Probably because they ship from Hong Kong, they take about 3-4 weeks before they get here.

Standard Shipping: £11.50. btw, I don't know if its just me or everyone else in UK, there's a fee/Custom charge to pay. I know its not Sasa's fault but.. uggh. even though I only order when they have promotion of free shipping, I still feel like im paying. T__T 

Cosmetic Love - Free Shipping! 1-2 weeks but normally no more than 2 weeks. greeeeat! love it!

-------------

Overall:

I like Sasa because of wide selection of products. what I don't like is that my orders take very long to get here. Sasa has my favorite products and they sell deluxe sizes too! love love love it!

vice versa

I like Cosmetic Love because of free shipping and my order don't take a long time to arrive and they give free samples too. what I don't like is they dont have a very wide range of products compared to sasa. I love the fact that products from Cosmetic Love is more cheaper than other sites. 

-------------

I LOVE THEM BOTH.  ♥

there you go! my two favorite sites of all time :) 

thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Review: Etude House Drawing Eye Brow

• Etude House •

Drawing Eye Brow #4 Dark Grey

REVIEW:

Price: $5.19

http://cosmetic-love.com/etude-house-drawing-eye-brow-pencil-1-3-4-5-6.html

Packaging: 

Refill: I like the fact that you can buy a refill for this for much more cheaper price. buttttt. I dont know if its just mine, but the twist part, second time using it, it broke T_T. 

Spoolie Brush: It also has a spoolie brush to blend and brush the hair in place (quite slanted so its good) , I personally don't use this because I use my brow gel. but good for those who likes it. :) 

Pencil: the pencil is slanted and perfect to do a thick or fine line.

Pigmintation:  It isn't as pigmented as I wanted it to be at first, but it's actually good because it's not as harsh when you use it, it gives a natural look to it. the lasting power is also good :)

♥ Gives a Natural look

♥ Creamy

♥ Comes with 6 shades

♥ Has a spoolie 

♥ Refills

♥ Slim Packaging 

 ♥ Good staying power                              

♥ Small Product

♥ No good Packaging

♥ Some may find this as 'not pigminted'

I'm not sure whether to buy again just because I want a more pigmented one. this brow pencil is good but not good enough to replace my other one :)

Overall:

=    (3 Stars)

Hopefully this was a quite informative to you :)

Thanks for reading! :)

Review: Etude House Dr. Mascara Fixer

• Etude House •

Dr. Mascara Fixer for Perfect Lash

                      

Included in my Cosmetic Love Haul:
http://criseldadavid.blogspot.com/2012/09/cosmetic-love-haul.html



 

without mascara/etude house primer

Left: with Etude House Primer     Right: added a coat of mascara

Left: without Primer-with 1 coat of mascara  Right: with primer and 1 coat of mascara

♥ As you can see it does lengthen my lashes more with the primer.

♥ Although it did clump a bit. im not sure weather the reason why is I waited for it to set for 3 mins and then applied the mascara.

I'll update this post if the result/ it wont clump if I apply the mascara after a good minute.☺

Left: without primer and 2 coats of mascara  Right: with primer and 1 coat of mascara

• Now here's the reason why I wont buy this again •

♥ On my left lashes I have two coats of mascara without the primer

as you can see, It is more 'prettier' than the right one.

♥ I didnt use two coats of mascara on the right because as I said, it was already clumped, and

I don't want it to be more clumpier(?) >_<

Now, please keep in mind that the result may be different depending on what mascara you use.

curious what mascara I used? yes, It is my current favorite mascara at the moment.

I'll do a separate post about that and a review for it. :)

REVIEW:

Price: 6ml ~ $8.09

http://cosmetic-love.com/etude-house-dr.mascara-fixer-for-perfect-lash-en.html

Packaging: Cute Pink Squeezy tube.

Smell: No smell.

Texture/Consistency: White colour, More watery than a regular mascara.

Suitable for: Everyone!

Holds my curls

Doenst make any mascara smudge

Makes your mascara more neat and lengthened

Reasonable Price

Hard to take off - tip: Oil-based makeup remover will help

Small quantity - specially your an everyday mascara user

clumps if you set it for too long before mascara

This Primer works perfect with a volumiser mascara since this will act as a lengthener.

Great product but not a must have unless your eyelashes definitely needs 

help! 

will I buy this again? no. :)

Thanks for reading! Hope this helps! ♥
