LIOELE BLOOMING VOLUME AND CURLING MASCARA

INGREDIENTS:

Water, Acrylates / Ethylhexyl Acrylate Copolymer, Stearic Acid, Copernicia Cerifera(Carnauba) Wax, Oryza Sativa(Rice) Bran Wax, Euphorbia Cerifera(Candelilla) Wax, Hydrogenated Stearyl Olive Esters, Triethanolamine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Glyceryl Stearate, Acacia Senegal Gum, Simethicone, Iron Oxides, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben

After mascara from Holika Holika I decided to try out another one. Lioele Blooming Volume and Curling Mascara looked quite interesting. It's also non-waterproof. I really like the package: bright, vibrant pink. Who doesn't love pink?!

The wand has a wavy shape: thick on the top, than it gets slimmer and it the end it's thick again. Somehow it reminds me  shape of a bee. Also the fibres are quite dense.

Unlike the wand from Holika Holika, this one is not flexible at all. 

Now before and after pictures:

As you can see it gives a lot of volume, not that much of a thickness.

The test shows that it's not waterproof at all. You can actually get rid of it using just water :)


FINAL OPINION:

I like this mascara. It gives volume and natural look. It's like your lashes but somehow better. I prefer the Holika Holika one just because I like the false lashes effect. Other than that it is a really good mascara. I will purchase it again.

MEMEBOX SUPERBOX #5 REVIEW

I'm really glad that I have found this website. Thanks to these boxes you can try some Korean cosmetics for a really low price. They are 100% original and coming directly from Korea.

Cosmetics always come perfectly packed, nothing has ever come damaged or badly packed. The best thing is that you can choose the box you really like and really want and you don't have to subscribe for monthly subscription. You get what you want ;)
If you interested in these boxes, just go to Memebox, choose what you like, put the boxes into your shopping bag, type the code PNMD0K to get $5 discount and wait for the package to come :)

Now let's get through this Memebox. What first caught my eye is the eye palette !!! I love eyeshadow paletts.

The nail polishes look really pretty. One is milky pink, second one is a golden glitter (pink gold to be precised). I'm not a pen eyeliner fan, but maybe this one will be good. Lipsticks are always welcome in my collection, The pretty colorful palette looks interesting, the last product looks like a powder or a highlighter.

This is how it looks like inside. Like I said everything is very well packed. Nothing is broken.
First thing on the list is:


#1 O& DESIGNING EYE COLLECTON + EASY BRUSH LINER

"This make-up set is the perfect size for carrying around. The palette includes a whole array of colors that you could use for any occasion. The 6 colors include Shimmer Gold, Glam Khaki, Pale Lavender, Deep Wine, Peach Brown and Deep Brown"

The package looks really sleek.

The inside palette looks really elegant. Colours are also very nice. The diamond shaped products are highlighter an eyeliner (I think both can be used as an eyeshadow base). All of these eyeshadows are shimmering.

The eyeliner's tip is really small and very flexible, which makes is easier to apply.

To be honest the eyeshadows are not very pigmented (as you can see on these swatches). You have to put a lot of eyeshadow to make it visible. They blend quite well, but the color dissapear while blending, so you have to add more and more. They go all over the face, so you have to be careful while applying. Another thing is that the eyeshadows doesn't last long. I used to MAC eyeshadows' quality, where in the end of the day my make-up looks exacly the same as it was in the morning. With these onces re-application is needed.

It gets even worse with the eyeliner. As you can see on the picture, the pigmentation is really bad. You need AT LEAST two layers to make it looks nice. As much as I hate waterproof mascaras, my eyeliner has to be totally waterproof. For this one you need only ONE drop of water to ruin your look. Not only it will dissapear within a second, but also it will smudge all over the eye. It is the worst eyeliner I have tested so far.



#2 ALICA NAIL POLISH (COTTON CANDY + ROAD CHERRY BLOSSOMS)

"Your nails will look as adorable as the name of the polish suggests: Cotton Candy is one of our favourite classic colors - it never gets old! You can also create a brighter, party look by adding a coat of Road Cherry Blossoms over a base of Cotton Candy"

These colours are so pretty !!! One is a milky pink with a hint of beige. Really classy and elegant, will match every outfit. The second one is a golden pink glitter. I don't have these colours in my nail polish collection. Also they dry quickly. For a best coverage you need 2 layers. Very flattering, I love them !!!

#3 MACQUEEN LOVING YOU TINT GLOW (LOVELY PINK & VIVID PINK)

"This is a multipurpose lip product, combining both a lip balm and a lipstick ! It will nourish, protect, and plump lips"

Next we have two lip tints/lip balms/lipsticks. Two colours: baby pink and bright pink.

I would rather say that these are coloured lip balms. they don't give much of a colour, but they are quite creamy and hydrating. You need few layers to actually see the colour. I really like them, perfect for a daily use.

As you can see the colour is very subtle. But when it's on the lips, it will stay all day no matter how much you will eat or drink. It's almost non-removable.



#4 DRWW MIX & MATCH

"Drww's Mix & Match is a multi-purpose kit that combines lip balm, concealer and blush. With 4 different lip items, you can alter your look simply by choosing a different color."

 The package is so gorgeous: vivid, vibrant, colorful. It's also quite flat, which is perfect for carrying it in a bag. It also has a mirror so makes it easy for touch-ups during the day.

I love the combination of colours. You have pink, coral and orange which you can mix to get an individual colour. All three colours have matt formula, but if you want it to shine, you simply put a transparent gloss (the lavender one). The yellow product is a lip concealer. 

The pigmentation is amazing. You need a little amount of product to cover your entire lip area completly. I think they're quite long lasting (I bite my lips constantly and I "eat" any lipstick which is on my lips, so it's hard for me to judge). Also these colours are perfect for cheek area. Every shade will give some colour to your face. Lastly they blend very nicely.



#5 ETUDE HOUSE FACE DESIGNING BRIGHTENER (#1 PINK BEAM)

"This is the perfect highlighter to brighten your complexion"

Nice girly packaging. Not too small not too big, perfect for carrying it in a bag.

Inside you will find a puff with which you apply the product.

The colour is very flattering. It's very subtle, gives the face a beautifull glow. Very easy to apply.


FINAL OPINION

I would rate this box 5/5. Except the eye palette, every product is really nice and useful. Love the colours, the texture, etc. Congratulations Memebox !!! :)

HOLIKA HOLIKA MAGIC POLE MASCARA No 1 (POWER VOLUME) REVIEW

INGREDIENTS:

WATER, ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, BEESWAX, COPERNICIA CERIFERA (CARNAUBA) WAX, STEARIC ACID, IRON OXIDES(CI77499), BUTYLENE GLYCOL, MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE, POLYVINYL ALCOHOL, CARBON BLACK, NYLON-66, PEG-20 GLYCERYL STEARATE, TRIETHANOLAMINE SURFACTANT, 1AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL, CETYL ALCOHOL EMULSION, CETETH-20, PHENOXYETHANOL, GLYCERYL STEARATE, DIMETHICONE, SIMETHICONE, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, CETETH-25 SURFACTANT, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, HYDROLYZED MILK PROTEIN, HYDROLYZED SILK, PEG-60 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, GLYCERIN HUMECTANT, PANTHENOL

I always was curious about Asian mascaras. A lot of bloggers and vloggers were talking about how waterproof they are. Since I'm not a fan of waterproof mascaras, I didn't want to try any. Until I have found this one - Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara. The thing that caught my eye was fancy package. Pink and purple combination is so pretty! And also the wand is quite interesting.

It really looks like a magic wand. The shorter ball is for lower lashes, but I'm using it also for the upper ones. It's also quite flexible so it's easy to apply the product onto the lashes.

Like I said I don't like waterproof mascaras. It's hard to take them off and most of the time you can damage your lashes. This mascara is smudge proof, but definitely not waterproof (what can be seen on the picture).

This mascara really gives more volume and length to lashes. It makes them long, thick and beautiful, also it curls them gently. I don't need to wear false lashes anymore. I'm fully satisfied with this mascara and it's one of my favourite ones.

MEMEBOX LUCKYBOX #4 REVIEW

You probably heard about the beauty boxes, which you can subscribe to and once a month you will receive a box full of goodies. I really like these kind of subscriptions, because I can try out different kinds of products. I was so excited when I found out that there is a Korean beauty box - MEMEBOX. I immediately ordered few of them. The first which arrived was Memebox Luckybox #4.

The box arrived very quickly, very well packed. 

What I really like about it, is that is pink !! How cute is that? :)

Uderside you will find the scan code, which will redirect you the the Memebox website (so you can check the latest boxes and promotions).

Inside there is a leaflet with descriptions of all the products included in the box.

In this Memebox you will find all different kind of products: from makeup to beauty. Some are samples, some are full size. You never know what you will get. Sometimes you can guess, sometimes Memebox shows spoilers for one or two products. 

So exciting! Lets see what's inside:



#1 MIGUHARA B.P CREAM (2 x 3ml)

"This dual-function cream serves both as a BB cream as well as a primer. It keeps skin silky and even-toned, while controlling excessive sebum through its oil-free formula"

Looks like it will be perfect for oily skin (since it controls sebum).

At First it looks quite dark, but it blends into the skin immediately. It actually works like Benefit POREfessional ! Skin is silky soft. It also gives the matte effect. It might not be good for dry skin, but with a moisturizer it might work nicely. I think I will like this B.P cream.

#2 HOLIKA HOLIKA SKIN & GOOD CERA SUPER CREAM (10 ml)

" This ultra-hydraating cream not only hydrates the skin but also enhances the water-holding capacity of the skin, thanks to its powerful hydrating ingredients 'ceramide'"

Sounds like a good night time moisturizer. Might be perfect for night skin care routine.

It is very rich. For oily skin might be too rich, but for dry and combination might be just perfect.

#3 CNP LABORATORY CLEANSING PERFECTA (50 ml)

"Cleansing perfecta is used to remove waterproof makeup, BB cream and sunblock. This oil free cleansing gel thoroughly removes stubborn waterproof makeup and sunblock"

It's always good to have a lot of cleansing products to get rid of makeup and BB cream. Looking forward to try it on.

#4 GLORY NAIL VEGAN LACQUER (15 ml)

" It is a nail lacquer from professional nail care brand with self-developed built-in brush that makes color on your nail you see from the bottle"

You never have too many nail lacquers ;) The colour looks really nice.

#5 MAMONDE FIRST ENERGY SERUM (10ml)

" IT is a light-texture serum featuring powerful natural ingredients 'Gold-and-Silver Flower Vinegar'. the flower vinegar is fermented for over 60 days in a clay pot and it evens out the skin texture and clarity for more beautiful and prepares skin for makeup."

I heard and read so much good things about this brand. I really cannot wait to try this serum! It might work like a primer, but also nourish the skin. 

It also came with a little samples of CC cream and (another one) First Energy serum.

#6 GOODAL REPAIR PLUS ESSENTIAL OIL (15 ml)

" A fast-absorbing multi-use essential oil directly derived from 7 kinds of super seeds, argan, olive, macadamia, sun flower seeds, jojoba, camelia, and green tea seeds. The combination of super seeds oil hydrates, firms the skin and enhance the skin complexion."

It seems like it will be perfect for night skin care routine.

It has a mint smell. Maybe more menthol than mint.

#7 HEARTFACE ULTRA PORE CARE SLEEPING PACK (20 ml)

" Ultra Pore Care Sleeping Pack is a sleeping pack that keeps your skin moisturized all night long. Additionally, it minimizes your pores and controls sebum production while you're asleep!"

I'm looking forward to try it. Sounds really promising.

#8 LJH TEA TREE 90 ESSENCE (20 ml)

" A lightly-textured tea tree oil formulated with sensitive skin in mind. Made from 90% tea tree extract, LHJ's Tea Tree Essence 90 clears, moisturises and brightens troubled skin, targeting acne and delivering nutrients deeply for a hydrated, vibrant complexion. Key ingredients include sea buckthorn and centella asiatica, plants known to delay the skin maturation process and speed the healing of damaged tissue."

I don't have acne skin, but looking forward to try this essence. It will be great to nourish and refresh the skin. Perfect for daytime skin care routine.

#9 GOWOONSESANG BLING BLING BB CREAM (45 ml)

" It is an all-in-one essence, sun protection an BB cream that covers from skincare to complexion coverage. The soft texture featured by the swirl of essence and BB will add flawless and fine texture and tone to your skin."

I'm so excited getting this BB cream !! I actually own this one and the one which came in the box will be my backup. I really, really LOVE this BB cream. It makes your skin look really healthy. It also has a glow finish. I will be reviewing it soon.

That's all the products for this box. Overall I'm really happy I got it. It was really worth buying it.
