[ETUDE HOUSE] COLLAGEN moistfull *firming eye cream*

I'm 28 already but people still keep saying I look much younger - like 18~22. I don't have many wrinkles yet, just my eye area got some fine lines. Because of that I started to use eye creams! I finished the EYE'S CREAM stick and use now the COLLAGEN moistfull firming eye cream. This product line is from [ETUDE HOUSE] as well. I wanted the Secret Time Total Eye Balm first but I got told by the seller that it's sold out in Korea.

Anyway, the 'COLLAGEN moistfull' line consists of the following products:

- BB Cream

- Balm

- essence-in pact (Face Powder Pact)

- essence-in primer

- essence-in base

- first essence

- facial freshener

- emulsion

- cream

- enriched cream

- firming eye cream

- facial mist

As you can see, there is quite a lot of stuff available! I got a trial size of the freshener and emulsion, too.

Description: Adhesive, jelly texture gives firmness to the eye area, containing Baobab seed oil with abundant nutrients and moisture to nurture the dry skin area surrounding eyes.

This eye cream is smaller than face creams and comes in a paper box which is colored in light beige and pinkish-orange. It's a nice color, not too strong!

The product itself is inside a small round (glass) jar and contains 25ml. The jar and the lid has the same beige/ pinkish-orange color as the packaging, just that the bottom part is shimmering as well.

As many other creams this one also got a second cover underneath the lid. This cover is thinner than from other products, though.

The white gel-cream is very easy to spread over my eye area and I just need a tiny weeny bit.

The fragrance of the cream is okay! It reminds me of the 'Oil-free Control Cream' [THE FACE SHOP]. Might be a floral scent but I'm not really sure about that.

I will use this firming eye cream mostly before I go to sleep and just sometimes during daytime. Since a little bit of this cream is enough I think it will last me for a while. 

Of course, I hope that it will improve my eye area, too. The EYE'S CREAM stick I used before didn't change anything!

Price: around 15,50,- €/ US$20 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)    

What I love:   

The small amount of cream I need + it moisturize my eye area.

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I dislike atm.

Will I buy this again? Will decide that after I finished this cream.

[Kana Hoshino] Jewerich Eyelash *P-1*

Another pack of Eyelashes I got a few month ago are produced by japanese model Kana Hoshino: The Jewerich Eyelash P-1.

There are a few different styles available but I just tried out one atm.

The packaging is clear with some heart shapes and contains 2 pairs of lashes (I used up one already). Style P-1 is kept in red colors and on top is a pic of Kana wearing these lashes.
On the back is a describtion about how to use/ apply the lashes to your eyes (japanese only).

The eyelashes looking nice in the packaging but I don't like them too much on myself. I don't think this design suits me very well. These lashes got a clear line and are flexible. It wasn't too hard to apply them.

I will review the bottom lashes at another time!

On this pics I was wearing the dollyeye - Crayon 17 contact lenses in pink. 

It's the first time that I wear pink color lenses and I kinda like this ones. The Dia is 14.8mm and they are 'Made in Korea' (of course). 

I purchased them at eBay for 11,- € (excluding shipping costs from Malaysia).

Price: around 17,- €/ 1.650 YEN 
Bought at: ICHIBANKAO

What I love: 
There is nothing I really love. 

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I dislike! I find them a bit pricey for 2 pairs, though. 

Will I buy this again? Not this style anyway. Maybe anther one of the 'Jewerich' line.

[Rumi Itabashi] Luminous Change EYELASH *03 Volume Glamorous'

The False Lashes I review today are Luminous Change EYELASH in 03 Volume Glamorous. These lashes are produced by japanese Model Rumi Itabashi.

This serie comes in the following 9 designs:

01. Natural Extension eye
02. Pure Elegant eye
03. Volume Glamorous eye
04. Cool Beauty eye
05. Natural Volume eye
06. Fluffy Airy eye
07. Feminine eye
08. Bright Oval eye
09. Huge eye (lower lashes)

I got No.02, 03 and 09 plus, Rumi's Eyelash glue. I'm thinking about getting No.06, 07 or 08 as well.

Each pack contains 5 pair of lashes what I really like. Many japanese Eyelashes contain less but are more expensive. The packaging of No.03 is kept in orange with a nice flower print. Each design is in another color. On top is a promo pic of Rumi wearing these lashes.

On the back is a description of how to use them (in japanese only). 
These Eyelashes doesn't contain any glue!

No.03 Volume Glamorous has a clear line and is very flexible. This design got thick lashes and becomes a bit shorter toward the inside corner.

I had problems with removing the glue afterwards. Some lashes were falling out so I had to threw one of them away already.

The right eye looks a bit different from the left eye. That's because I made a small mistake while applying them.

The color contact lenses I wear on this pics are Twinkle - Chocolate Brown. Usually I prefer to wear blue lenses but I like the brown ones more. 

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16

Bought at: eBay (alphabeautyuk) 

What I love:  

The clear and flexible line. The lashes aren't too long - no need to trim!!

What I don’t like:  

It's not easy for me to remove the glue again!

Will I buy this again? Yeah, I got another design already and thinking about buying some more.

I grapped 2 of the products and thinking about getting some more. I got the Style Making Kit and one of the Last Touch Lip Glosses which I will both review now.

Wannabe Style Making Kit:

Description: Multi-makeup palette supplies diverse colors and pearl infused looks for mixing & matching. Create individualized styles without hassle. This palette contains 8 eye shadows. 

2 lip & cheek creams, highlighter crea, 2 eyeliners, 2 concealers, and 4 applicators, so you can easily complete beautiful eye, lip, and cheek, makeup. 

The make-up palette was a spontaneous purchase coz I own already two big eyeshadow palettes which I seldom use. I bought it because it's a Limited Edition and I missed the 'Aloha - Tropical Eyes' palette already!

This palette comes in a nice packaging which looks pink on the front and black on the back. The complete collection comes with those cute illustrations. When you fold off the packaging in the front and you will get another illustration in dark pink. To get the palette out of the packaging you have to open the side, though.

The Style Making Kit is in a matt black plastic case with the same cute prints again.

The case has the size 11,5x6cm what is not very big. So you can carry it in your bag as well.

This palette consists of 2 levels and a mirror inside the lid.

At the first (upper) level you have 2 lip & cheek creams and 8 eyeshadows:

Cream Lip & Cheek: Orange-Red

Cream Lip & Cheek: Pink

Pearl Eyeshadow: Light Pink

Price: around 23,- €/ US$30

What I love: 

The design and the eyeshadows.

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I don't like on this product. 

Will I buy this again? No! One time is enough I guess.

Wannabe Last Touch Lip Gloss & Freshener:

Description: Dual Gloss & Freshener supply sparkling color and romantic fragrance for enticing lips.

The Lip Gloss is available in 3 colors: Wanna Touch (Cream Beige), Wanna Love (Baby Pink) and Wanna Kiss (Coral). I decided this time to get the gloss in #2 Baby Pink.

The packaging is kept in white and pink colors with the same cute illustration as the 'Style Making Kit'. The Lip Gloss contains 5g and the Freshener 6ml. It's a 2-in-1 product!

The Lip Gloss #2 Wanna Love comes in a translucent bottle with some rose & bird prints on it. The color is a shimmering pink which doesn't have a strong coverage. I can barely see the color on my lips but it's shimmering. I like it coz it gives my lips that Nude-Look. 

The consistency is not sticky, too.

Like the 'Woo~ Baby Lip Plumper' this one here has a silicone tip/ applicator which is easy to use. The scent of it is ok - not too fruity or chemical-like.

On the other side you have the Freshener which comes in a translucent bottle as well. It has some butterfly prints on it and got a metal rollerball applicator. The product itself looks pinkish and the fragrance is called 'Floral Musk'. It smells kinda strong at the beginning but after a while it gets better. It's a nice floral scent!

How to use: Roll-on to back of neck, temples, wrists, chest or any other desired area.

DO NOT APPLY FRESHENER TO YOUR LIPS!!!

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark) 

What I love:  

The color and the idea of making a 2-in-1 product. 

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I don't like even though I wished the freshener would be rather a mouth freshener than a perfume. 

Will I buy this again? Thinking about getting #1 Wanna Kiss (Coral).

[ayumi hamasaki] A eyelash *Gorgeous Days No.4*

The first thing I bought in the new year was a electric facial cleansing brush. I was reading good reviews about those brushes at google so I wanted to get one for myself. When it really helps I don't need to use too much cosmetic anymore what will save me a lot of money!

I got the SIRIUS Skinsonic one which cost me just $49 + $14 for each pack of replacement brushes. I got it in the USA coz I can't find it in my country.

Furthermore I will review now for the first time one of my False Lashes. I begin with the A eyelash produced by famous japanese Pop Singer ayumi hamasaki.

These eyelashes are from Japan and available in different styles as upper and lower lashes. There are around 4 which I would like to try out but they are a bit pricey. That's why I just got the Gorgeous Days No.4 for now!

The pack contains 3 pairs of false lashes and come in a plastic packaging. 

The Gorgeous Days line is kept in pink with a pic of Ayu on it.

Inside the packaging is a description of how to use the lashes.

The lashes No.4 are shorter toward the inside corner and become longer and thicker toward the outer corner. They got a clear line and are quite easy to apply. I have to say that I don't wear fake lashes too often and are not very good in applying them yet.

These lashes looking nice but they are not my favorite. I got better ones already!

I used the first pair a few times already and they look now a bit 'worn out'. Not as pretty as the unused ones anyway.

The pics below are taken either with flash light or without:

Btw, I'm also wearing color contact lenses. On this pics I wear Twinkle - Sapphire Blue.
These are 'Made in Korea' as well.

Price: around 22,- €/ 2.200Yen  
Bought at: ICHIBANKAO 

What I love:   

There are easy to apply. 

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like except the price. 

Will I buy this again? I would like to try out another style.
