[TONYMOLY] Cats Wink Mascara *Volume & Longlash*

Meow meow... I got a new mascara for a cat's eye look: [TONYMOLY]'s Cats Wink Mascara. This mascara is available in two types: #1 Volume & Longlash and #2 Curling & Longlash. I got first which I will review now!

Description: Reasonable price, washable. Cute container. Highly vivid black color gives sharp eyes. Cleansed by lukewarm water.

The long black container contains 8ml and has a cute twist-off lid with a cat head. The mascara brush is straight with short and firm bristles.

The main ingredients of this mascara are Carbon Black, Black Diamond, Black Pearl Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, P.D.O.(Pyrrolidinyl Diaminopyrimidine Oxide), Argan Oil and Fiber.

The formula will protect your lashes and stimulate the growth of them.

The rather dry texture helps that the mascara won't smudge. The color looks like a greyish-black, is easy to remove and got that typical mascara scent.

 Without any mascara (pics above) and with the Cats Wink Mascara #1 Volume & Longlash (pics below).

My lashes are longer but the volume effect could be more. I find my eye lashes are always looking like 'fly legs'. Maybe I apply the mascara wrong!
Anyway, I still like this Cats Wink Mascara and will use it more often from now on.

Price: around 7,50,- €/ US$9.50 
Bought at: eBay (cosmetic.love)   

What I love:  

The cute container and my lashes looking longer.

What I don’t like: 

Hmm...except that my lashes looking like 'fly legs' and that the volume isn't enough for me - nothing yet!!

Will I buy this again? No, I won't!

[ETUDE HOUSE] My Lash Serum

A product I got for my eyelashes only is the My Lash Serum from [ETUDE HOUSE]. I just wanted to try it out because it says it will strengthens the lashes and prevents them from falling out.

Description: Serum Promotes Eyelash Health & Strength
Strengthens strand vitality with essence care formula to prevent lash loss. Contains panthenol & dogwood berry extract. Supplies nourishment and comfort to weary eye lines and lashes.

This eyelash serum is inside a translucent bottle and looks like a normal mascara. It contains 9g and has a light pink lid with a soft brush.

The serum looks a bit yellowish and has a rather watery consistency. It's not as runny as water, though. The scent is nothing special - for me it smells like a mascara does.

I use the My Lash Serum since a few month already and apply it every evening like a mascara. 

I let it dry and wash it off the next morning.
I see that I loose less lashes and I also find that they look longer than before. I'm not really sure about that, though. But it might be that my lashes became so healthy now that they grow better. Will continue using it until I finished the bottle!

How to use: Simply brush it from the roots of hair follicles of eyelash toward the ends. Use at the basic step after cleansing at nighttime. 

Price: around 6,- €/ US$8 

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)

 

What I love: 

My lashes looking healthier and longer.

 

What I don’t like: 

Nothing at the moment!
 

Will I buy this again? Maybe or I will try the Dr. Lash products first!!

[Holika Holika] Magic pole mascara *#2 Longlash*

When I went to South Korea last year I spent most of my money for souvenirs. I brought so much stuff at home like traditional dolls, souvenir plates, cup coaster, magnets, a 'HAECHI' plush toy and STARBUCKS mugs/ tumbler. Btw, I collect STARBUCKS mugs from cities and countries I have visited or I'm interested in.

Anyway, in Seoul I also went to a [Holika Holika] Shop. Too bad that I didn't know much about Korean cosmetic at that time, so I just bought a few things like the Magic pole mascara in #2 Longlash. This mascara is also available as #1 Volume and WATERPROOF.

Watch the CM with CN Blue & Kim Min Ji here:

Description: With Magic ball brush and porous Sponge Ball Powder. It reaches 100% of lashes from every angle for a dramatic, flared-out effect. The unique spherical brush thickens, separates and adds volume to even tiny corner and lower lashes, transforming your look from everyday to explosive with a few sweeps.

The Magic pole mascara comes in a pink/purple/gold bottle and contains 9ml.

The brush has a unique design which I have never seen on a mascara before. 

It got a ball on top which is called 'Magic Ball' and helps to separate and lengthen the lashes. The longer part of the brush is the 'Magic Stick' and gives your eyelashes more volume with Light Wax Matrix. 
You can apply the mascara in different ways: Use the Magic Stick to cover all of your lashes and then use just the Magic Ball to separate them. You can either use the Magic Ball on the side for Long-Lash Volume or in the middle for Triple Power Volume. 
I use the ball also for the lower lashes.

The color is a deep black and is not waterproof. Nevertheless, it has a Smart Film Type that prevents the mascara from smudging by sebum, tears etc. But it is still easy to remove with a make-up remover and warm water.

My lashes without any mascara - looks like I got no lashes coz they are too bright to get captured by my cam:

With the Magic pole mascara in #2 Longlash. My lashes looking longer and more separated but they also look a bit like 'fly legs'. I wished they would have more volume...

I purchased this mascara directly in Seoul for around 9,900won but you can get it at eBay as well.

Price: around 7,- €/ 9,900won
Bought at: [Holika Holika] Shop @LOTTE WORLD, Seoul

What I love: 
The unique ball brush design.

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I dislike.   

Will I buy this again? Not this one! If so, then I would try out #1 Volume.

[Maichi Takahashi] Jümily Eyelashes *NO.4 CAT EYES*

Another false lashes I got from Japan are the Jümily Eyelashes. These lashes are produced by japanese fashion model MAICHI (Maichi Takahashi). I got only NO.4 CAT EYES at the moment but I would like to try out one of the other designs as well:

- 01 EXTE EYES

- 02 3WAY EYES

- 03 GIRLY EYES

- 05 BASIC EYES (Under Lash)
- 06 DOLLY EYES (Under Lash)

The plastic packaging contains 2 pairs of eyelashes and no glue. The paper inside is light blue and pink with a pic of MAICHI wearing these CAT EYES lashes. On the back is a description of how to use the lashes (japanese only).

The eyelashes are flexible and partly clear. I have some problems with applying them and because of that I'm also not really satisfied with the look. They doesn't look on my eyes as the ones MAICHI is wearing on the promotion pics. But maybe it's coz I don't have asian eyes.
Nevertheless, I still like them!

The NO.4 CAT EYES are shorter and thinner at the inner corner and become longer and thicker from the middle to the outer corner.

Price: around 11,50,- €/ US$15 
Bought at: eBay (alphabeautyuk) 

What I love: 
The design is nice even though they don't look that great on my eyes.

What I don’t like: 

Nothing except that I have some problems with applying them. 

Will I buy this again? Another design like the '3WAY EYES'.

[SKINFOOD] Choco Smoky *Lip Color & Volume Mascara*

I don't own a lot of make-up from Asian brands but recently I saw that [SKINFOOD] released some new products called Choco Smoky.

I love chocolate and that's why I purchased a Lip Gloss and Mascara from this product line.
I'm also interested in one of the Eyeshadow Palettes.

Since these items aren't big I will review both together...

Description: The Chocolate Makes You more Sweet & Deep.

Choco Smoky Lip Color: 

Description: A true-color rouge gloss that adds a deep, luscious shade to your lips without feeling sticky.

I purchased this Lip Gloss in color no.1 Milky Beige Choco. You can get 2 other colors as well: Milky Coral Choco and Milky Baby Pink Choco.

The Lip Gloss comes in a translucent bottle and contains 4.5g. The lid is a deep dark brown and has a soft sponge applicator. 

The lip color is a medium beige & pink with almost no shimmer. It looks neither too shiny nor too matte. The coverage is quite good without being sticky and smells so yummy. 

It really smells like Chocolate!!

Choco Smoky Volume Mascara:

Description: A volumizing mascara in 2 chocolate colors that coats each and every lash for optimal volume.

I got the Mascara in no.1 Choco Black which is a dark black-brown. 

It's also available in Choco Brown.

The bottle is dark brown and contains 7.5g. The brush is a bit curved.

The consistency is thick and looks rather dry. It's good coz it doesn't smudge when I apply it to my lashes and dries faster. It doesn't have that great chocolate scent as the lip gloss, though.
The result of the Mascara is okay. My lashes are longer and separated. 
Even so nothing special to me.

Price (each): around 10,- €/ US$12 

Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love: 
The scent of chocolate! 

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

Will I buy this again? Maybe the Lip Color in one of the other shades.
