[Holika Holika] Magic Pole Mascara #1 Power Volume

When I first discovered Korean mascaras I was really surprised. They are a lot better than the most European ones that I have been using. They last longer and that is what I love the most. I don't know why but I always come back to this Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara #1. The reason could be its brush. I have long, straight eyelashes that is difficult to curl and I have to use eyelash curler because without it, there is no result.

Don't get scared, this are photos of me without any makeup.








Description:

The special spherical wand is the feature that made this mascara the best seller item amongst other Holika Holika products. It has rounded ball at the tip of the wand. The ball is to separate your lashes. Normally it is hard to use your normal mascara on the bottom lashes. The round tip helps a lot to apply on your bottom lashes. When you remove the mascara, it comes off by pieces because of the fiber formula. If you're using oil based makeup remover, it wouldn't be that effective to remove the mascara or any type of micro fiber mascara. It will not give you "panda eyes", its waterproof, strong black lashes and curls your lashes.  
Use the spherical brush to grab and extend each and every lash for a lengthened and defined look. The spherical tip brush is great to get even those hard to reach lashes. The result is dramatic, blown-out lashes. Contains fiber extract which can enhance and strengthen lashes.

This is one layer.

 And this are two layers.



What I like:

 Everything. It is not a waterproof mascara like it says in the description,  but it holds on all day.

What I don't like:

 Sometimes, when I'm in a hurry, I get messy in the corners of my eyes, but every other mascara do the same to me because of my lashes.

Would I buy it again?

Probably I would.

[Lioele] Essential Donut Glo-stick Milky Pink #01

I wanted to try out this Glo-stick because it says it is a lipstick with moisturizer because my lips are always dry and flaky and I don't like to put on every now and then lipstick or gloss. Well, the color I have chosen is Milky Pink #1 and very pale. You can choose between five colors. I would  say it is a kind of lip treatment and lipstick mixed together.






Description:

Regular type lipstick with highly concentrated moisturizer contains an essence core with tocopherol acetate,to keep lips soft and moist throughout the day.This lipstick consistently corrects dark and sordid lips to give them color and exuberant glitter as would a lip gloss.You will give yourself a natural and refined look, no matter what type of ambience you wish to express with makeup. 
Consistently corrects dark and sordid lips, contains subtle glitter and volume, relief from flaky skin, improved luster, prevention of chapped lips.
  
How to use:

Apply onto lips directly onto lips without needing to apply lip balm. It also says you can apply it with brush mixing essence and lipstick together.

What I like:

I like the texture, the feeling it leaves on my lips, the  endurance on lips.

What I don't like:

 I don't like the scent, it is just terrible, it reminds me of the old type of lipstick.

Would I buy it again?

No, there is a lot of new stuff I would like to try.
