MOON PRISM POWER MAKEUP! Miracle Romance SAILOR MOON Liquid Eyeliner

Creer Beaute Miracle Romance Sailor Moon Liquid Eyeliner

Price: $23.50 CAD on Amazon

Blogsters' Rating: 3.5/5

I have recently received this as a gift from one of my friends, and had immediately fell in love with it the moment I saw it.  It brought back many childhood memories - Sailor Moon, Luna, Tuxedo Mask (o*v*o).  

To be honest, I couldn't help myself spending the whole day playing with the wand, pretending to be Sailor Moon, and yelling out "Moon prism power makeup!", instead of trying out the eyeliner...

Anyhow, my first impression of this eyeliner was it looks exactly like the Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner.  The felt tip, the cap, and the size of the eyeliner is very similar to the Dolly Wink one.  The felt tip is claimed to be as thin as 0.1mm.  I also found this eyeliner very skeptical as it claimed to be waterproof, but it is removable with hot water? Huh?!

I first tested it our on my wrist.  The felt tip is very easy to control, you can draw thin and thick lines fairly easily.  However, I noticed the pigmentation is not that great.  The black colour is not as solid as I would like it to be.  I would have to apply it on my eye for 2-3 times to get the desired "black".  I have also noticed that this eyeliner smudges easily.  If you have oily eyelids or watery eyes like I do, I would not recommend this for you.   The only way for this eyeliner not to smudge is to apply a very thin layer of it.  But then again, it won't be as pigmented.

Hope you guys like this short review of the Miracle Romance Sailor Moon Liquid Eyeliner.  If you have any questions or would like to recommend a product for our next review, please don't hesitate to leave a comment.  Until next time!

Too Cool For School ART CLASS by Rodin

Too Cool For School Art Class By Rodin

Price: ~$16 CAD

Blogsters' Rating: 4.5/5

Yayyy!! I have waited for this contouring kit for close to three weeks and I finally got it in the mail -   Too Cool for School Art Class By Rodin!!  I have been in need of a contouring palette, and decided to give this a try, as I am seeing it everywhere - on magazines, makeup websites, and YouTube videos.

The packaging for Art Class by Rodin is quite unique.  It really defines the reason why they have used "Art Class" as part of their name, as the appearance of the product is very much like an art piece.  The inspirations that made Rodin create this palette is also hidden inside the box.  The compact comes with a mirror, which comes very handy at times.  Also, the material feels very sturdy, not flimsy at all.  The slim design made is easier for travel.  The only downside is that you'll have to carry a brush along.

This palette comes in three different shades - a light brown, medium ash brown, and warm dark brown.  Since Too Cool for School is a Korean brand, the colour of this contouring kit is made to compliment the Asian skin tone, to achieve the most natural contouring effect.  I love how all three of the colours are very natural, and does not appear to be muddy or orangey.  I never have the feeling that I have dirt on my face with this contouring palette.  In addition, besides being a contouring kit, this palette can also be used as eye shadows.  The combination of these brown colours can create an everyday or work appropriate look.



This contouring kit also has a matte finish for the most natural effect.  If you would like a contouring palette that can create a more dramatic Kim K look, then you would have to keep looking.

The light brown colour in this palette is very close to my skin tone, maybe just a tad bit lighter.  As a result, it doesn't really do much for me.  I wish it has some shimmers in it, so that I could use it as a highlight on my nose bridge and on the high points of my face.
The medium ash brown is a perfect shade for nose contour.  I apply it to the sides of my nose bridge, the tip of the nose, and a little bit just under the front of my eyebrow to achieve a slimmer and taller nose.
Lastly, the medium dark brown is great for contouring the whole face, slimming down the jawline and hairline.

I would definitely repurchase this product again, but I feel like I don't have to in a very long time because you use very little of it every time and there's a lot of product inside the compact.  I have been to Too Cool for School website recently and noticed that they have released a similar product for highlighting.  If I have the chance, I would like to try out that product too.

Physicians Formula Eye Booster Eyeliner + Serum [Beauty Review]

Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Brush-Tip Eyeliner + Serum 

Price: $12 CAD
Blogsters' Rating: 4/5

What a long name! In a nutshell, this product is a brush-tip liquid eyeliner that contains a lash enhancing serum. It claims to create lashes that instantly appear luscious, glamorous and dramatic. What's more is that it's hypoallergenic, fragrance free, paraben free, 24 hours wear, waterproof and smudge proof. All that packed in a eyeliner pen. Sounds like one hell of a product.

Application
With a very fine brush tip, this allows for a very precise application with very good control. I have been using brush tip liquid liner for a long time and it remains my favorite form of eyeliner.

Wear
I love how this product is highly water resistant and smudge resistant. It gives you that very defined solid black line that stays there throughout the whole day.

Color
The ultra black is very pigmented, Gives you a bold black line that lasts through the day.

Removal
Because it's waterproof and smudge proof, it does take a little more effort to remove than your typical makeup product. I personally use organic olive oil as a makeup remover and it works fine if you hold the cotton pad over the eyelid and wait a minute or so for the eyeliner to dissolve on its own and then gently massage the area to wipe off all the product. Do not rub your eyelids with force or you'll lose some lashes!  

Lash Enhancing?
After a month of using this product, I have to say that there isn't a noticeable difference to the length of my lashes.

I would purchase this product again for its long lasting wear and precise application.

Etude House Play 101 Pencil

Etude House Play 101 Pencil
Price: $6 USD
Blogsters' Rating: 5/5

Youtube was the place where I initially heard about Etude House Play 101 Pencil.  They come in more than 50 colours and five different textures (Creamy, Glitter, Shimmering, Matte & Glossy).  Since, they come in with many different colours and textures, some can also be used on the lips and cheeks.  They are waterproof and smudge proof, absolutely perfect for the summer.

I was really excited because they are one of the very first automatic gel eyeliner presented in the form of a pen.  As we all know, gel liners work the best for most girls in the summer but having to carry the little tub of gel liner along with an eye liner brush for touch ups during the day is just too hectic sometimes.  So, I went ahead and purchased myself three of these pencils in #48 (Brown with hints of Green Glitters), #20 (Creamy Hot Pink), and #6 (Shimmers Champagne).

Each of the pencil comes with a little sharpener at the end, which really does come in handy.  By sharpening the tip of the pencil, it gives you more accurate and precise application.  Since these pencils are very creamy, they do get dull very easily. 

How I use them?

#48: Upper Inner & Outter Eyeline

#21: Upper Outter Eyeline, Lip Liner & Cheeks

#6: Inner Tear Duct as Highlight

Application?

The Application is really smooth.  The pencils are very creamy, they do not tuck on your eyelids at all.  Colours are very vibrant and pigmented, as you can see in the below picture.  This product is very waterproof and sweat proof.  I can easily wear these eyeliners for 12 hours without any smudging.

Etude House Play 101 Pencil has became one of my must have items.  The price is very affordable, and it is available to purchase on their website, Etude House. I will definitely purchase more in the future to add to my collection.

3CE Dot Eye Shadow Palette [beauty review]

3 Concept Eyes Dot Eye Shadow Palette (Saddle)
Price: $36 USD (on StyleNanda)
Blogsters' Rating: 4/5

This is my current favorite eye shadow palette that I use daily. Although this is a shimmery and sparkly palette, the earthy brown tones make them very versatile for all sorts of different occasions from daily makeup to formal event looks.  

About 3CE

3Concept Eyes is a Korean makeup brand launched by Stylenanda in 2009. "3CE means creating unique individualities based on three colors: pink, orange and beige." There aren't many stores in North America that carry 3CE products so their online store is the best way to shop this brand while having full access to the entire collection. 

Packaging

Very simple, clean and cute packaging with polka dots all over. The only down side is that it doesn't come with a brush or a mirror. For a 4 color palette, the packaging is quite big as well , making it not as convenient to carry around in the purse for touch-ups. (This is not a huge problem for me as I do not have a habit of touching up my make up on a day to day basis.)

Stylenanda.com

Colors

Pearly ivory and orange-y beige has hints of red while restrained sand beige and sparkling deep brown  are darker earthy brown tones. For an everyday look,  I use the restrained sand beige and sparkling deep brown with pearly ivory as a highlight. 

Application

While this eye shadow applies very easily and is easy to blend, the color comes out more subtle than it looks on the palette. If you want more color intensity, you might want to double up the layers just as I have done on the picture above. 

Does it smudge or crease?

Nope. It doesn't smudge easily or give you panda eyes. It also doesn't crease and stays on quite well. 

Does it last long?

Without using an eye shadow primer, it is fairly long lasting but it did fade just a little bit by the end of the day.

Voila! A subtle everyday look for work using all 4 colors of the 3CE palette. 

Overall I am very happy with the performance of this neutral color eye shadow palette with an added sparkling glamour. A downside would be that for a 4 colors shadow palette, the price is relatively high compared to other neutral color palettes with a wider color selection. (Probably because it is imported from Korea.) As I have heard a lot of good reviews about this brand in Asia, I am excited to try out other products from 3CE soon!
