Review: Holika Holika I Want Chu♥ Lip Balm

Hiya :D I'm back with another review!
This might be short and sweet (at least I hope so).

I'll be reviewing Holika Holika's 'I Want Chu Lip Balm' in '04 Cherry Coke Kiss'!

'I Want Chu Lip Balm'
in '04 Cherry Coke Kiss'
PRODUCT INFORMATION

This product contains 2 lip balms with two complementary flavours and taste, each containing 3.7g of product. There are 4 flavour combinations available overall (only 2 are available in Brunei: 02 Milky Soda Smoothie and this one). The product is made in Korea. The price of it in Brunei is BND23.90.

Taken from eBay
I got interested in the product because I saw this review on Youtube, on the Kisstixx, and I got so interested in it LOL. When I saw this, I was immediately curious! The price put me off a bit, but curiosity got the best of me. I got it with a 20% discount, I still don't think it's worth it though, you'll find out why.

Ohay instructions.
I had to debate with my friend which one to get. I wanted the 02 Milky Soda Smoothie but he thought it sounded disgusting, so I had to get the 04 Cherry Coke one. It smelled nicer, that's for sure. If they brought in ALL the flavours, I'd choose 01 Strawberry Smoothie Kiss though!

Cute packaging!!
I don't have a partner to kiss, so this is what I did:

Put one flavour on lower lip, and the other on the upper lip.

What I immediately noticed is that the Cherry one has a nice pink tint. The Cola one is clear, and I kinda get why. I don't think guys would love to have tinted lips! Still, the Cherry having a pink tint...won't it transfer to the guy's lips? LOL.

The Kisstixx video showed the couple just pecking.

Amount of product you get, well from a slanted view.
It's a lot taller.
When I kinda put my lips together, the taste didn't register at first but then it came. It was okay then it got bitter.

I tried them on their own: Cola is the bitter one.

Cherry is very nice and sweet.

My conclusion is that: I'm pretty sure the Kisstixx would be a lot better, and I kinda wasted my money on these. At least for half of it.

---

PROS

- Fun idea if you're a couple or married.
- The Cherry lip balm tastes so nice!
- Packaging is so cute!
- Good amount of product.

CONS

- Cola lip balm is bittersweet. More bitter actually.
- SO PRICY (at least in Brunei)
- I don't know what to do with the Cola lip balm.
- Not so moisturising for the price.


Rating: 3/5 (I can live without the Cola)

Will I buy this again?

Maybe, in another flavour. Online. Or I'd just order the Kisstixx, and get a husband. Paying BND8-9 for one lipbalm is too much!

Do I recommend this?

EHHH. not for the price locally. If you're curious, why not?

Where can you buy this?

You can find it on eBay and locally, but again, they only have two flavour combinations here.

---

Well, to be fair I only tried this on my lips.
Maybe that's not fair?

But seriously, I don't get why it must be bitter! I did try Dr Pepper the other day, and it doesn't taste bitter!

I think I'll use the Cola lip balm when I'm really, really desperate.


'til then, take care!

Review: Etude House Play Color Eyes Palette

Hi guys, today I'm gonna do a quick review on this limited edition palette by Etude House!
I have it in #2 So Chic Play.

Etude House Play Color Eyes #So Chic Play
PRODUCT INFORMATION

This palette has 10 eyeshadow colours. Each pan has 1g of product and they're meant to be used up within 24 months. It is housed in a sturdy plastic packaging and has a mirror. It also contains two double ended foam applicators (which are useful to pack on colour). There is also another variant called the #1 So Hot Play. The palette is made in Korea. It costs about BND26-40 depending on where you buy it.

Ten gorgeous colours to choose from.
I lost the plastic flap that has all the names, so I had to look them up.

1. Coco Brown (Matte)
2. Clutch Brown (Sparkling/Glitter)
3. Pop Champagne (S/G)
4. French Kiss (Matte)
5. Misty Rose (Matte)
6. Diva (Shimmer)
7. Glam Forest (S/G)
8. Midnight Star (S/G)
9. Sparkling Wine (S/G)
10. Leopard Brown (Matte)

Texture of the glitter shades.
I've worn this palette a few times already, I've only ever used the mattes the most.
It's for obvious reasons though, I go for mattes nowadays to go to uni. Plus, these glitters are unforgiving with the fall out. The glitter reminded me of Urban Decay somehow, just from how it looks like.

My favourite half
This is the side I go to the most, but with difficulty.

I love French Kiss and Misty Rose BUT it takes so much effort to have it show up (even then, barely) on my eyelids. With primer, without, it looks almost the same. It lasts long without primer though, if you pack it on. I got this palette because of the pinky shades, it reminded me of Naked 3.

Coco Brown is perfect to darken the outer corners and also line your eyes with but it much more tame for the day look.

As for the glitter shades, I can only apply it nicely with my finger. With a brush is a bit hard, unless you use a sticky base.

I am making a noticeable dent on the two shades that are hard to work with though, for obvious reasons.

I swatched French Kiss three times, the rest are with one finger swipe.
The other half of this palette is a hit and miss.
I neglect two shades a lot.

Wanna guess?

Pretty in the pan
I DO love Diva, I love it on the crease.
Sparkling Wine...I've used twice.

Leopard Brown is a reddish brown, more ideal for smokier looks.

I never use Midnight Star, I think I tried, but it barely showed up. It's the same with Glam Forest.

All are swatched once, with Leopard Brown having some difficulty in transferring.
I think the main problem with this palette for me is the difficulty in having it packed on with a brush. I've tried the foam applicator, a natural hair brush and my finger...but it was really hard to pack on, and I don't have much time for packing it on.

I don't have the patience.

Didn't fall in love with palette, I kinda half regretted it, but at the same time, the shades are quite unique in some ways?

I prefer the Etude singles rather than the palettes I guess.


I would have been happier with the Rose Flowering Eyes Palette, maybe.

Applied with a natural hair brush.
Swatched:

-Leopard Brown
-Clutch Brown
-Midnight Star

I had to swatch it 3-4 times. It's very difficult in trying to build up the colour of the glitter shades.
I'm just not a fan of Midnight Star.


Not a must have I guess, unless you really love Etude House.

---

PROS:

- 10 wearable shades.
- Has a nice balance of mattes and glitter.
- Travel-friendly.
- Lasts well without primer.
- Has a nice mirror.

CONS:

- Not available locally (for now)
- Glitter shades are prone to fallout.
- Very hard to pack on the colours on the lid.
- Kinda pricy depending on where you get it from.


Rating: 3/5 (it's okay, but not the best)

Will I buy this again?

Nope, I don't think it's worth it, especially since I have a lot of other palettes that work better.

Do I recommend this?

I'm not too keen on having you guys get it without swatching it first, it's a miss for me, just because I'm so used to theBalm and Urban Decay and other palettes that work better. Yes, this is more affordable, but if you think about it, your money might be better used for a better palette. I'm not wowed by this at all.

Where can you buy this?

You can get it online quite easily. I don't think Etude House Brunei is bringing this in, I might be wrong.

---

Hope you found this helpful.
I'm quite surprised with some people raving about it but then again, did they buy it themselves? Maybe they haven't tried a lot of brands.

I just don't think it's the best. I think you're better off buying Nude'tude.

'til then, take care!

Beware, Fake Lorac Unzipped and Pro Palettes are Out

Hi, it's been a while. I'm so sorry x.x
I've been busy and quite uninspired to write anything.

Just wanna drop by and have a warning:

"Lorac PRO Palette"

"Lorac Unzipped Palette"

Fake Lorac PRO Palettes and Lorac Unzipped are on the loose!

Beware when you buy on eBay, I guess.



This is a shame, somehow.
I really want the Lorac Unzipped for my birthday since my parents are going to the US at the end of the month...but I dunno.

I don't need anymore palettes, that's for sure!

But damn, even the fake looks okay LOL.


But yeah, just beware when you buy online, yeah?
Try to buy from legit sites that distribute Lorac.


Same with other makeup I guess.



UGH, I don't know what I want for my birthday next week.
I just wanna get married.


LOL.


Seriously though.


I do feel like trying out a few face primers :) especially for oily skin.

( '-' ) maybe, maybe I'll get Unzipped. I don't know.

I don't feel like getting Naked 3, sometimes I do, but naw.


ANYWAY, be warned!

'til then, take care!
