I get to molest with ALL DollyWink Products they have* which most of them I already own and using them everyday!*

Here are sample reviews of what I think and 1st impression on every product! *EXCEPT EYELASH*

Koji Eyelash Curler

: Review :

 I have not been using much eyelash curler because I have really straight and HARD lashes. But I do own a eyelash curler from Brand E.

Brand E is coated stainless steel which makes it rust over some times. The material is not durable and get bent easily.

KOJI, have the perfect curve that fits just right for our eyes and long enough to curl all the lashes without have to curl each section separately. The large curve enables our eyelash to spread out like a peacock's tail, creating perfectly curved eyelash.

It comes with a casing, replacement rubbers as well.

DOLLYWINK EYELINER * BEST SELLER

: Review :

DollyWink have the cutest packaging of all.

There are two types of Eyeliner : Liquid and Pencil.

Pencil comes with a patterned cap while liquid comes with a normal cap.

Both are awesome and easy to apply.

Just keep in mine that these eyeliner dries quickly, be sure to screw it tight after using , or else it will dry up real fast.

They comes in promo pack during the promotion period and CHEAPER.

Dolly Wink Eyeshadow

How to apply:

: Review :

The pigmentation is awesome!! My most favorite and most convenient eyeshadow of all! No.1 is my choice.

No.1 can create very natural down to earth look

No. 2 is sweet innocent look

No. 3 is a cool smokey eye look!
I was suppose to upload a tutorial on these 3 looks but I lost my memory cards due to an incident. Thats why I have not been able to post any post processed photos /cry blood
A few event's photos were lost too.....

Dolly Wink Eyebrow Kit

: Review :

The eyebrow kit are really natural and soft, but can create very Japan-ish look without a problem. 

It's highly recommended to use it with Dolly Wink eyebrow pencils!

Although it's eyebrow powder but it stays very long :)

Dolly Wink Eyebrow Pencil

: Review :

Why do I say the eyebrow powder is recommended to use with these pencil?

The pencil are very light and long lasting, it is good to be use as a eyebrow shape marker. Draw your desired eyebrow shape and fill it in with the powder gives you the best effect you can get.

Below is an example of using the both lightest shade of eyebrow pencil and powder together.

[Review] Etude House - Any Cushion Foundation

Hi girls, 

I haven't been blogging for a while because I finally have my holiday, where it's the time I can do all my cosplay related activities. So I have been abandoning my blog for a month! There suppose to be a few review lining up in a very tight schedule but my laptop and internet decided to abandon me as well when I was about to launch this article ;w; /cryface!!So I am going to review a new product from my favorite Korea Brand!! Etude House!!

Etude House is famous for it's cute packaging skin care and makeup products. They always surprise me with new products such as my favorite series, Sweet Recipe! All the makeup products are packaged to look like real treats!

Shortly after C.C cream is launched, Etude House decided to launch another new foundation series , Any Cushion Foundation! And it's PINK!!

Etude House is very kind to provide a complimentary set for review.

With cute toiletries bag, CDs and Any Cushion Foundation.

Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion Foundation

This particular foundation is design with the concept of achieving long lasting and soft looking makeup for the entire day, anytime anywhere! As long as you have this foundation in hand!

A comparison of close up! 

This foundation is a sponge base filled with liquid foundation, no hands are need for the application!

Hence no dirty hands~ 

6 in 1 Benefits

As usual, all this all-in-one have lots of benefits for your skin.

• UV protection of SPF50/PA+++ , great deal for Asian skin. We need this!
• Moisturizing 
• Whitening
• Sebum Control
• Color Correction

Air Puff

This puff is specially design so it's lightweight and able to achieve smooth result during application.

The puff is made of Rubycell+ Polyurethane.

The material hardly absorb any water, thus the makeup will remain on the puff surface instead of being absorbed all the way inside.It's super cooling as well!

This puff is also design to last for a very long time, unlike the normal puff that would get dirty and worn easily.

Easy Application

With the help of Air puff and sponge design base, the foundation can be easily apply with dabbing or stamping motion. No rubbing need, thus reduce friction on face :)
The formula for this foundation is quite watery, it sticks on my finger after tapping gentle on the base.

The Air Puff also make sure you don't pick up too much foundation as well. It creates a very soft looking base for your face.

Left : No foundation
Right : Foundation

Perfect Coverage

By using the finger filled with foundation, I slide gently on my face.

The coverage is good! As expected from Etude House Precious Mineral Series, their coverage is probably the best + dewy effect.

Normal makeup that leaves you with dewy skin doesn't have much coverage because of the moist content in the foundation have to be high to achieve dewy skin. But Etude House can maintain both!

 

Dewy Soft Skin

One of Korean's specialties are dewy and glowing skin! Most of the foundation have a very matte and dull look after application.

This foundation gives you the utmost shine that you need for you skin.

It contains not only mineral , and also pearl mineral powder with niacin amide, which is water soluble vitamin for healthier skin :)

 

Refillable

It is stated a PUSH under the casing.

Gently push it out, and you're able to replace the finish base with new ones!

I bet it's going to be cheaper too! Thought the price for refill have yet to be announce.

This foundation is just brilliant, I don't need to bring my brush , sponge or big bottle of foundation with me during my outings anymore!

Just very good for lazy girls like me :P

Coverage is just so good, I lost my words.
The formula is very liquid and it's able to cover all my pores as , with the sebum control function I don't need to worry about getting my pores block anymore.

The foundation might be a bit thin and too shine for some users. My suggestion is to apply a layer of powder to minimize the shine and increase coverage as well.

I recommend Etude House Precious Mineral BB Pact Bright Fit which I previously reviewed last year.
