[Maybelline] Black Hyper Sharp Liner

Sorry for my long absence for blogging ;;
Anyway, I made a makeup review today by introducing one of my favorite eyeliner:)
Maybelline - Hyper Sharp Liner


Basically it's a liquid liner in pen type. Let's jump to my opinion~


>> Packaging: Quite normal. It's not too bad nor awesome. The design is very simple but don't really provide attractiveness. At least the packaging is not made from cheap plastic.
(Score: 3/5)




>> Brush Tip: as you can see on the picture above, the tip is sharp and thin, which makes easier if you like to draw a wing or thin eyeliner.
(Score: 5/5)




>> Formula: this eyeliner is really quick to dry, so if I made a mistake in drawing the liner, I need to fix it quickly.. Moreover, the liquids is not sticky/really wet.
Other than that, I ever compare this eyeliner with dolly wink liquid liner in black, even though dolly wink still more black than Maybelline eyeliner, still I would say this eyeliner still good in case of color. The 'blackness' more or less the same with Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner.
(Score: 4.5/5)

>> Staying Power : To me, this eyeliner is okay for the staying power. I ever once use it on 12 am and when I want to remove the eyeliner (at 10 pm), the liner doesn't smudge everywhere.
(Score: 3.5/5)


(1 time rubbing the eyeliner hardly)

>> Smudgeproof: I can't say this eyeliner is smudge proof, because after I rub the eyeliner, it started to smudge. However, when applying the eyeliner to the eyelid, as long you don't rub your eyes, it will be totally fine (the liner won't smudge)
(Score: 3.5/5)


(wipe 1 time using wet tissue to the eyeliner)

>> Waterproof: I think the picture above would explain. Eventhough it states waterproof, actually it's not that true. After I use wet tissue to the eyeliner, it started to fade, but only some drops of water will not ruin the eyeliner.
(Score: 2.5/5)


So, here's my conclusion..

PROS
+ Thin Brush tip
+ quick to dry
+ Give natural result (in case the black color)
+ Good staying power
+ Affordable, around $7

CONS
- Simple packaging design
- Not waterproof
- Kinda easy to smudge if you rub it with your hand.


In short, I still would recommend this eyeliner if you're searching for a good quality eyeliner in affordable price :)


See you in my next post~

[Etude House] proof 10 eye primer

These days, I oftenly confuse what to post on my blog. Whether it is about makeup or wig review :S Maybe next time I will make a polling to see your opinion :D

Back to the title's topic...
Here's the picture of proof 10 eye primer


What is eye primer? Basically, it is use before applying eyeshadow. By putting a little amount of eye primer around the eyes, after you put eyeshadow in that area it will make the colors of your eyeshadow more appear and last longer.

 Here are the picture's comparison of using eye primer and without using eye primer.

(top- without using eyeprimer)
(bottom- using eyeprimer)


See the differences right?

Likes:
-) affordable (usually online shop sells it around 70.000 IDR)
-) easy to blend
-) the texture is soft 
-) helps to make my eyeshadow last longer

Dislike:
-) Hard to get (since it's one of etude house's bestseller, the products oftenly sold out)

*Notes:
If you compared this eye primer with other branded eye primer (example= bobbi brown, Nars, etc), of course the branded one will be more good and shows many differences.

But if you considered the price, this product is SUPER great! It's very suitable for people who likes cheap makeup with good quality and also a beginner.

Rating: 8/10

[Coastal Scents] 78 eyeshadow blush palette

It's been so long since I've made a post to this blog, cause there're so much thing to do on my past weekends and also the weekdays T^T
But, today I'm back with full of courage and I want to write a review about a palette that I bought 5 months ago and I'm sooo lucky to get that palette with discount price <3 <3
*PS: please remember if you want to buy this product, you should look carefully at the colors in the palette and the original one ONLY have blush and eyeshadow in this palette. Because there're so many palette that says the brand is coastal scents, but it's the price so much cheaper than you purchase on the official website/supplier.

Official website: http://www.coastalscents.com/

And here's the pics of my palette <3

Wanna know does it worthed to buy? So, keep reading my review <3

Packaging = Since I think packaging is important, I should say this is GREAT! Why? The package is simple but nice, also from this picture below, you can see the eyeshadows are well organized. So it will be easier for anyone to choose the color that you want to use. But, a palette has a big size (same as any other palette) so I think it's not really suitable for bringing it anywhere~ Usually I only use it at home.

Pigmentation = The colors are easy to blend and shows up really well to my eyes, you'll only need a little amount to use the eyeshadow and the result will be much better if you use eye primer. But, some of the light color doesn't show up when you already apply it to your eyes, especially for the white. In my opinion, I don't like the white color in this palette, because my eyes will looks strange when using this color 0__0
(I've take a pic, so you can see the pigmentation of this eyeshadow)

As for the blush on, I love the colors they choose for this palette. Because I can use it for the blush on my cheeks and also for contouring my face <3 and when use it, the color will shows up naturally.

The colors are so GORGEOUS right? and sooo many pastel colors <3 

Stay power = For the stay power, if you use eye primer the colors could be last for almost 12 hours. But for the blush personally I think it only stays for 5 hours.
(I use my makeup on 9am and this pics below taken on 9pm)





Overall, here's the PROS:
-) Affordable, I bought it only IDR 225.000
-) Easy to blend
-) Great pigmentation
-) The eyeshadow's color are well-organized
-) Nice and pretty colors

CONS:
-) Doesn't stays long without primer
-) Not travel friendly
-) The light colors doesn't really shows up

Rating = 9.5/10

Overall Comments,
It's an awesome product, the price are affordable and it has so much colors. So, for beginners I think it will really suites you <3

Thanks for reading! :)
