TonyMoly "Panda's Dream - So Cool Eye Stick"

TonyMoly "Panda's Dream - So Cool Eye Stick"

by Rosalie

 

Hi Lovelies,
last week was really stressfull for me. I was on a longer tripwith my fellow students, we went to the "Heimtextil" fair (maybe you know it??) and presented our university. It was really interesting to see the latest trends in home textiles, the colors, the materials and all the people.

But let's put this aside, while traveling I always need my sample sized products and I wouldn't ignore my skincare things. I think it was kind of to much for me in this situation to put on some masks or something but moisturizer and makeup remover is always important. Also a nice travel size has the product I want to write about on this blogpost.

It is from the korean brand "TonyMoly", the cosmetic store "douglas" has some products from this brand in store now (in Germany), also this product. But I ordered it in korea online, because the products are much more expensive complained to the prices in korea. And I don't really care if I need to wait for 2 or 3 weeks till the product arrive. So just to tell you, of course it is up to you where you buy your products! ;) 



BRAND: TONYMOLY

PRICE: $8

VOLUME: 9g

TYPE OF PRODUCT: COOLING EYE STICK



The visual effect is like WOW, the product looks like a tiny panda. The small ears and the nice face. It is so cute. In general the product is really small. As I said in the beginning the size is really nice for travelling.













My eyes are really dry in winter times. I have trouble with my hwole skin but the eye area is really difficult. I already had a nice product for my eye area from Etudehouse but nevertheless I always want to try something new.


So the product is supposed to simpl apply at the area you wanted it.


As you can see the stick is kind of mint colored but also has a strong consistency. The smell of the product is also really nice and sweet. It is sweet but also fresh. But not permanent, just while I apply the stick I can smell a tiny bit but then the scent is gone.









After applying it feels like there is a thin layer on top of my eye. Like the stick doesn't really goes into my skin but gets dry and stayes there. This really was strange for me. Also after using it for a bit I can tell that I dont really could feel a moisturizing effect. There is a nice cooling effect, maybe because the cooling effect depends on this thin layer... I don't know. But my eyes getting dry and this thin layer... I dont really like to use this product in winter time. I will see how this product will work in hot summer ties but now I will left this out at my skincare routine.


advantages:

-cute design
-small size
-good cooling effect
-nice smell
-you can buy this product at a store (without online shopping) in Germany (let me know if you can buy this product at your country, too! <3
 


disadvantages: 
 
-thin layer stayes on my eyes after applying 
 -my eyes are getting dry


So all in all I dont really recommend to buy this product. I only can tell for winter time maybe I will write an update in summer but right now I only can tell that this product isn't nice for me. I am so sad about this.

If you still have any questions please feel free to ask me. <3

Etude House "Dear Darling Tint" #PK006, #PK004, OR205

Etude House "Dear Darling Tint" #PK006, #PK004, OR205

by Rosalie

 

 


Hi Lovelies,
a few days from the new yeas have passed by and I still hope or have the kind of feeling that this year will be much more better than the last one was. I want to blog more regulary, in my vacations I also want to write more than only once a week. I also wanna get better in taking photos plus editing them. I really hope I can do this! Do you have some things you wanna achieve this year? (I guess I am a bit late but every year I have the problem that christmas was just a few days ago and I am not ready for silvester. That's why I choose my "Want to achieve" things a few days after the year already has started, but I don't think that this is a problem haha!)

Anyway, today I want to wite about a lipproduct from my favourite korean brand, the "Dear Darling Tint".


BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: $6.50

TYPE OF PRODUCT: LIP TINT

VOLUME: 45g

COLORS: 10

 
I ordered this product at the Etude House Global Store. I think it is so nice to have some more colors to choose from, but it also gives me a hard decision because all the colors look so pretty on the advertising images. As I ordered with my sister and my mom together they only had three colors left in store, so we decided to order these three colors and see who likes wich color when they arrive. (To be honest, all tree colors are pretty so it was really hard to choose.)







The most catching thing on this product is obviously the design. Etude House made these tints look like tiny ice creams. I love this, it is so amazingly cute OMG! <3 No one can beat the korean beauty industry with they're product designs. Also the Ice cream bottle is really small, but that is also nice because I always have left overs from my lipproducts but I already wanted a new one. So If it is smaller I may be able to empty this bottle out one day. And it suits into every cosmetic bag, wich is also really nice for a fresh liplook on the go.

Also the boxes where the tints are in look super cute and have a nice print on it. Only the opening from the boxes was a bit hard for me, I broke one of the boxes while I wanted to open it on top of the product. YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE BOX ON THE BOTTOM OR ELSE YOU DAMAGE THE BOX!


Also opening the tint is kind of new for me, you need to twist the upper part and then you have the ice cream stick in your fingers. From all the advertising images I was beliefing that it would look different! :D




This ice cream is so glittery. I tried to show you the glitter effect while the sun directly shines on it.


PK006

OR205

PK004


Anyway, all 3 tints has different smells, all are really fruity but nice. When you apply the product you just have a decent smell for a few moments but it goes away while the tint gets dry on your lips.

Applying the product is really nice with the soft tip from the product. All 3 colors we have are really ligth, so you can create a decent look, but with more layers you can get more color onto your lips. The tint itself gets dry after a while, but at the first application the product nicely moisturize my lips. When it gets dry my lips tend to get a bit dry, but not every time. I guess in winter time my lips have some troubles, so in summer maybe this wouldn't be a problem, and this tint is obviously designed to use in summer. But would it be ok to use a liptint only in one season? What do you think? I use the products I have all the year around so I don't know...

The color really stayes on my lips for a while. Like also after drinking and eating there is a bit of the color left. Other products are completely gone, but whith this tint you will still have the color where it should be.


So all in all this product is cute designed and also has a handy size. The smell is nice. It sounds strange but I believe this tint also has a tast wich is kind of fruity. Strange really, but better than a chemical taste on y lips! ;) I totally recommend you to try this product out if you are a lipproduct junky as I am. haha.

I hope this review was helpfull for you. If you have some questions please feel free to ask me! ;)

Etude House "Play Color Eyes - Beach Party"

Etude House "Play Color Eyes - Beach Party"

by Rosalie

 

 

 

Hi Lovelies,
I was struggeling for a long time if I should buy this product or not, but finally I bought it: the Etude House "Play Color Eyes -Beach Party" eyeshadow palette. The colors, OMG!!! Really, so amazing! That was the main reason for me why I wanted to try this palette out. (I guess you can call me crazy or something! haha but sorry we all have some things we cant resist to get.) 

Ok, when the korean brand Etude House release a new eyeshadow palette I always have an eye on that. But all the time I say to myself "No! Don't buy it, you already have so much eyeshadow!" haha, anyway... While they released some natural looking colors or more colorfull ones, but this palette has some natural colors but the most exiting parts are the blue, green and purple colors. *__* The colors are originally for summer time but I think that the colors also look good in winter, also because of the cold tone.



BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

PRICE: $27

VOLUME: 10 COLORS

TYPE OF PRODUCT: EYE SHADOW PALETTE









I ordered this product at the Etude House Global Store, but as soon as the palette arrived at my house they removed it from there onlineshop, so I am not really able to tell you where you can buy this product, sorry.

The palette itself comes in a matte optic in turqoise and pink. In the palette you can find a mirror wich is as big as the top of the palette, and there are two brushes with different sides as well. (I always love when the product I use comes with the brush for it, so I am always right in using it for the application.) Also they name the colors in such a sweet way it's amazing! <3





In the palette there are 10 different colors, in matte, glitter and shimmer optic. The natural colors are really nice tough but the most catching thing are the colorfull colors (as I mentioned in the beginning.).

in the following you can see the swatches. Please enjoy them! <3


eye without anything

"High Tide" - really nice base color

"Sunset Beach" - really glittery

"Like A Mermaid" - this color is so amazingly pigmented. But it's a special color and I guess I still need to find a nice way to use this color on my eyes for a decent look.

"Starfish On Rock" - this is my favourite color in this palette because it looks like a mystical but sweet color. I use it as I use light pink colours. *__* It is also really beautyfull as blusher!

"Surfing Point" - nice for shadowing on "Starfish On Rock"

"Cave Shade" - a sweet brown but glittery color, I finaly have a  eyeshadow palette with a nice color for my eyebrows, too.

"Wet & Wild" - nonglittery warm brown color.

"Sand Castle" - I thought this color might be a bit darker but it is really nice to use on aegyosal!!

"Cocktail Shot" - this is nearly a black tone, a really darnk brown though. I also love to use it decent on my eyebrows.

"Cool Dive" - You may not see the blue sparkles in this color. It is really beautyfull but also really pigmented.

The colors are all really pigmented, but I thought that "Starfish On Rock" (The light purple) would be much more intensive as it is. But It's not so bad that this color looks more like a burgundy, because this turned out to be my favourite color! <3

So all I can say about this palette is, that it came with some special and extraordinary colors. This is really amazing for me and they look amazing. They are really nice in combination and I have created some nice eyelooks with a colortouch but it was also looking sweet and charming. I guess the best solution in eyecolours is to use them as a highlight element, one color only. I wouldn't combine the green and the purple, I think this would be to much but a nice look with the green or purple only is really amazing in my opinion. *__*

I hope this review was helpfull for you. If you still have questions please feel free to ask me.
