[ETUDE HOUSE] Like 20 (twenty) *EYE CONCENTRATE*

Since I'm already 30 I start using some anti-aging products to prevent my skin of getting wrinkles. For my face I still use products for oily and trouble skin only but for my eye area I get creams that help to firm the skin and reduce fine lines. From [ETUDE HOUSE] I got the COLLAGEN moistfull firming eye cream a while ago which I actually liked and now I have their Like 20 (twenty) EYE CONCENTRATE.
The Like 20 (twenty) line consits of the following products:
- ESSENTIAL EMULSION

- EYE CONCENTRATE
- BOOSTER ESSENCE
- FINISHING CREAM
- ALL-DAY CREAM PACT
- SKIN CARE KIT

Description: This is an eye cream that provides moisture to the dry eye area with its smooth application for a firm eye area free of wrinkles.
All products of the Like 20 (twenty) line are kept in white and violet/lilac colors what I find really nice. The EYE CONCENTRATE is inside a white container with a pump on top and a clear lid. It contains 30 ml!
Beside Ceramide and Murumuru Oil this eye cream also contains Water, Glycerin, Castor Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Cocoa Extract, Fragrance, Alcohol and more.
The yellowish-white eye concentrate has a light creamy consistency and a soft scent.
I use one pump for each eye and apply it twice a day. It's a very smooth cream and gets absorbed quite fast. My eye area feels moisturized but I can't tell if it really helps in firming the skin. I don't think that a product works that fast - maybe when I constantly use it over a long time. Still, I hope that it will at least prevent my skin of getting wrinkles or fine lines caused by dry skin.
How to use: Dispense certain amount onto eye area before applying cream, gently dabbing and absorbing with fingertips. Can be applied onto other areas that need care (mouth area etc.).

Price: About 11,- €/US$15

[CandyDoll] Lip Gloss *Macaroon Pink*

In addition to the two [CandyDoll] Lipsticks I got one of the Lip Glosses which are produced by Tsubasa Masuwaka as well.
This gloss also contains Hyaluronic Acid.

You can choose from 6 colors:
- Strawberry Milk
- Macaroon Pink
- Milk Tea Beige
- Peach Orange
- Milk Tea Orange
- Gelato Glitter

At first I wanted to get Milk Tea Beige or Gelato Glitter but then changed to Macaroon Pink.
The product description says that you will get a 'Pastel Pink' when you wear the gloss alone and a cute 'Milky Pink' when you wear it over a lipstick.
The packaging is just a simple design again: A translucent bottle with a lid in black & silver.
It has a soft sponge applicator which is not 100% straight. Can you see it on the pic above?
Macaroon Pink is a strong light pink with a quite good coverage.
The consistence is thicker and more sticky than other lip glosses.
For the pics I wore the gloss without a concealer or lipstick.

When you wear this lip gloss make sure that your lips are not too dry or rough. The gloss will get cought in the dead skin cells or wrinkles and make them more visible.

Price: around 1950JPY/ US$25
Bought at: ICHIBANKAO

What I love:
There is nothing I really love!

What I don’t like:
The consistence is a bit too thick and sticky but when I apply just a thin layer it's fine.

Will I buy this again?
No! Not this color anyway. Maybe I can get myself to buy another color.

[CandyDoll] Lip Sticks *Ramune Pink & Vanilla Beige*

It doesn't happen often that I buy japanese make-up coz most of them are more expensive than the ones from Korea. But last time I got two new japanese Lipsticks from [CandyDoll]. 
These products are produced by the famous model Tsubasa Masuwaka.
They all contain Hyaluronic Acid, Royal Jelly and Olive.

I took Ramune Pink and Vanilla Beige. There is a third color, Apricot Beige, available. 
As I already wrote in another post, I love the Nude-Look. So I needed to try them out!
Both lipsticks are kept in a simple black and silver design.

Vanilla Beige:
This color is a nude beige and looks not bad but is actually darker than on the product pic (Tsubasa's lips). It has a creamy texture with a good coverage. This color is rather matt so I prefer to add a lip gloss.

Ramune Pink/ Lemonade Pink:
This color is a slightly light pink and I like it even if it's also darker than on the product pic (Tsubasa's lips). It has the same creamy texture and coverage as the other color but Ramune Pink is a bit more shiny than Vanilla Beige...not too much, though.
When you wear this lipsticks make sure that your lips are not dry or rough. The lipstick will get cought in the dead skin cells or wrinkles and make them more visible.

Price (each): around 1950JPY/ US$25
Bought at: ICHIBANKAO

What I love:
There is nothing I really love!

What I don’t like:
The texture is a bit too thick for me and the colors are darker than shown on the promotion pic.

Will I buy this again?
No! I'm not very satisfied with this lipsticks especially the 'Vanilla Beige' rather disappointed me...
