[Holika Holika] Aqua Muse Watery Lipstick *Pastel Orange*

HAPPY EASTER!

I remember that I got asked if I can share my daily skin care regime. So, here we go but I have to mention before that some products may switch from time to time. The cleanser I always use together with the clarisonic Mia.

Ok, the following listing is of what I currently use:

Morning

- [THE FACE SHOP] bubble bubble Cotton Foaming Cleanser

- [Holika Holika] 3" seconds Starter Hyaluronic Acid

- [Holika Holika] fairy water Pure Fresh Toner or [ETUDE HOUSE] WONDER PORE Freshner

Somehow it looks quite a lot! I also try to use every 2~3 days a face mask/ peeling or a sleeping pack before I go to bed.

Ok, the review today is about a lippie I got awhile ago: the Aqua Muse Watery Lipstick from [Holika Holika] in #OR205 Pastel Orange.

You can choose from 8 different colors:

- Pastel Orange

- Dewy Coral

- Pink Mode

- Aqua Heaven

- Fairy Red

- Milk Pink

- Angel Peach

- Rose Fever

Description: Provides sense of moisture to lips rather than oily. Express clear and pure lips like formed drop of water.

The packaging is kept in a pretty combination of blue & violet shades. I love these colors!

On the box you also find a short description in English, the rest is in Korean.

The twist-up container is 'octagonal' and in a light pearl violet. I can't find out the NET wt. but it's surely the same as from other lipsticks (around 4g).

I purchased #OR205 Pastel Orange which is the brighter orange shade in this lipstick line. I got it coz I wanted a color for my nude-look and I thought this might be good for that.

l

These orange shade is pale and reminds me of my tangerine clarisonic Mia. It's almost the same color! You can build the color in layers but it's not very opaque.

The consistency is very soft & creamy, kinda watery as well. I have some problems to apply the lipstick evenly to my lips, plus it sinks a bit into my chapped skin. Therefore, I need to peel my lips before using this lipstick.

The Aqua Muse Watery Lipstick does moisturize quite well and doesn't give my lips a matte finish. It's not super glossy but still nice. It also has a few shimmer inside but that's barely visible.

The scent is ok, not very noticeable but the taste is weird. A sorta soapy taste!

Applied around 3~5 layers!

How to use: Line the lips and fill the color from center.

Price: around 12,50,- €/ US$16
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL)   

What I love:  

The packaging and the soft & creamy & 'watery' texture.

What I don’t like: 

The soapy taste and that it's hard to apply the color evenly.

Will I buy this again? No! [Holika Holika] released a 'heart-shaped' lippie - I would try out that one instead.

[Holika Holika] Aqua Petit Jelly Tint Bar *Cherry Kiss*

Today I wanna review a lippie I got some month ago already. Actually, it isn't a lipstick - it's a tint bar. To be more exact, the Aqua Petit Jelly Tint Bar! This tint bar from [Holika Holika] is available in three (3) colors: 01 Cherry Kiss, 02 Orange Kiss and 03 Pink Plumping.

I got 01 Cherry Kiss because it was the most interesting one for me.

From the Aqua Petit Jelly line are also BB Creams, Eyeshadows, Lip Tints and a Make up Fixer available.

Description: Sweet! Refreshing! Bouncy!

Has jelly-like acid color helping lips look lively and contains mint water and marine jelly making resilient jelly lips.

 The packaging is kept in a very nice mint green & blue and has the description in English and Korean on it.

The Tint Bar itself is housed in a mint green twist-up container with pink lettering. I really like the color combination! The content is 3.5 g!

I purchased 01 Cherry Kiss which seemed to be the darkest of the colors they offer.

The color of the Tint Bar is a reddish-pink with some shimmer inside. It's also a bit translucent!

Cherry Kiss got the fruity scent of cherries which I like.

The description on the packaging says that 01 Cherry Kiss and 02 Orange Kiss is good for vivid color expression while 03 Pink Plumping is great for maximum plumping effect on your lips. 

When I apply the Tint Bar to my lips the color is barely visible at the beginning. I need a few layers to see the pink on my lips. The slightly cooling sensation I get coz of the mint inside is nice (it tastes like mint as well).

The color of Cherry Kiss is actually brighter as you would guess from the Tint Bar.

I like that it makes my lips smooth but the color could be more visible.

Therefore, if you like a colorful lip make-up I don't recommend this product but if you prefer a natural make-up than you can try out the Aqua Petit Jelly Tint Bar.

You can see that the color looks rather naturally. It gives my lips a hint of pink color without much glitter or gloss!

How to use: Apply tint bar onto the middle area of your lips to be melted by body temp and evenly spread from center out to edge of your lips.

Tint bar will color your lips 5 sec. after applying and will make smooth and bouncy lips without wrinkles.

Price: around 8,50,- €/ US$11
Bought at: eBay (luckygoldstar)   

What I love:  

There is nothing I really love about this product!

What I don’t like: 

I have to apply many layers to get the pink color.

Will I buy this again? No, I won't! I prefer lippies or glosses.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Dear My *Blooming Lips-talk, Crystal Gloss & Milky Gloss*

[ETUDE HOUSE] newest make-up line is called Dear My and contains lipsticks, lip glosses, nail polishes, blusher and compact powders. I just got two lip glosses and a lipstick for now which I will all review now.

This product line is endorsed by SHINee and Sandara Park (2NE1)!!

You can watch the Trailer for the lipsticks here:

It was hard to decide for a color since I can't do swatches when order online but I got the following ones:

Dear My Blooming Lips-talk *OR204 Shy Coral*:

Description: Smooth textured lipstick supplies vivid color and moist shine.

The Blooming Lips-talk lipstick comes in a very cute pinkish packaging with hearts and a crown print on it. The lipstick itself is housed in a pearl pink twist-up container and contains 3,4g.

I got OR204 Shy Coral coz I usually like coral-colored lipsticks and this one shall be one of the 'Hot Colors' as well. You can choose from 24 lovely colors what makes it hard to decide. They got coral, orange, pink, red and brown shades!

Some informations about the lipstick:

Smooth texture and outstanding color of creamy gel texture makes clean and vivid lips.
Relaxed Fitting Complex & Smooth Powder System makes smooth lips without crack.
Moist Liquid Paste and Hydro-Moist Complex makes moist and kissable lips.

The lipstick itself got a heart print, too!

The Blooming Lips-talk lipstick is creamy and gives my lips a slightly glossy finish. The color is buildable in layers! I prefer to use just 1-2 layers, otherwise the color is too bold for my taste. The color is rather opaque, too!

 1-2 layers (pic above) and 3-5 layers (pic below):

How to use: Twist to dispense makeup and apply evenly to lips.

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13
Bought at: eBay (cosmetic-love)   

What I love:  

The design, the rest is nothing special for me.  

What I don’t like: 

The color is too bold for my taste. Prefer a more sheer lipstick.

Will I buy this again? No, I won't! Would try out other lipsticks instead.

Dear My Crystal Gloss *COR201 Dazzling Coral*:

Description: Lip Gloss with shimmering & sparkling glitter!

Like most of the glosses from [ETUDE HOUSE] this one comes in a translucent bottle and contains 4.5g. Attached to the twist-off lid is the sponge applicator which is not really flexible.

COR201 Dazzling Coral is a nice color as well but looks more 'orange' as the the coral lipstick.

It contains some nice shimmer, has a fruity scent and doesn't feel sticky.

The Crystal Gloss is available in 8 different colors.

How to use: Apply appropriate amount to your lips with tip. 

Dear My Milky Gloss *MBE101 Chocolate Latte*:

Description: Lip Gloss with Mild & Lovely colors!

The glosses are also available as Milky Gloss without any glitter/ shimmer and 8 colors.

It comes in the same bottle as the Crystal Gloss with 4.5g as well.

I purchased the milky gloss in MBE101 Chocolate Latte coz I love chocolate and the color looked so nice. It's a milky beige with a hint of pink in it. Somehow it fits my natural lip color quite well. Perfect for the nude-look!!

The gloss is rather sheer but I like that! 

Price (each Gloss): around 7,- €/ US$9.50
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)   

What I love:  

The colors are rather sheer what I like! 

What I don’t like: 

Nothing yet except for the scent. Reminds me of the Peach All-in-one Peeling Gel.

Will I buy this again? Maybe another color!
