Sweetsalon W Brown Eyeliner

Sweetsalon W Brown Eyeliner  1260yen

I had never tried brown eyeliner before because I thought that black eyeliner would suit me the best. But this eyeliner completely changed my mind. I am now obsessed with brown eyeliner. This colour is called Milk Chocolate, and there is another colour called Bitter Chocolate which is darker than this one.

It's got the liquid eyeliner one side and the powder to shade off with on the other side. I was a bit surprised with the size because it looked pretty big compared to the other eyeliners I owned. 

This is how the liquid eyeliner looks like. It's really thick isn't it? It looks like a marker or something! And also the brush is quite hard and it's not bendy at all so it's really hard to draw a thin straight line. 

This is the other side. The powder is inside of the cap so you actually have to twist the body of the eyeliner a few times with the cap on, then the ideal amount of powder would come with the sponge-tip. You apply this powder on top of the line after it's dried completely, then shade off the contour with it. I put it under my eyes as well to blend in.

This is the swatches.  The formula of the liquid is actually like watercolour which means it's really watery. But the good part of is it that it dries within 30 seconds even though it looks watery. They should definitely change the brush though, this thick brush with the consistency of the liquid doesn't go well together.

The powder has got subtle shimmer in it which I love, and also the colour looks really pretty. It's not too dark so you won't end up looking like a girl who just got punched. But when I apply the powder on top of the liner, somehow the liner disappears. So I always have to redraw the end part of the line. 

This is how they look like on my eye. It looks pretty nice doesn't it? I really like the fact that this colour soften my eyes. Recently I wear brown eyeshadows almost every day and I think this eyeliner goes really well with any kind of brown shades. I've been wearing it a lot since I got it, and am thinking of trying out another colour called Dark Chocolate. 

It's a little bit different from any other eyeliners I'd used so it took me a while to get used to it but now I love love love this eyeliner much better than my normal boring black eyeliners!

Skinfood Nail Vita in Redstone

Skinfood Nail Vita　350yen

Skinfood is a Korean beauty brand. Their products contain extract from food including fruits, vegetables and even caviar. They have very unique products such as a facial mask with kiwi extract, chocolate soap, strawberry toner and tomato sunscreen. I had never tried their products but this nail polish caught my eyes when I was shopping with a friend of mine.

First of all it's very cheap. In Japan O.P.I and Essie are around 3000yen, and even crappy ones usually cost more than 500yen except the ones from 100yen shop. So, 350yen for nail polish is very cheap and I wanted to try out to see how it works.

The colour is called Redstone and it's got the red glitters. I like the colour especially in the moment I apply, but when it gets dry the colour gets lost somehow and it doesn't look as beautiful as I expected.

And the brush sucks. Overall it's not my favoruite nail polish at all to be honest, I wish the brush was a bit harder than it is now and the formula was just...better! 

Have you heard of skinfood before? Do you think you would try their unique products?

Winners of my small giveaway!

Thank you for entering my first (and small) giveaway for those who stopped by, enter the giveaway and leave a comment :) It was nice to know that some of you were actually interested in trying out some Japanese products. So I picked the winners in a very old-fashioned way here!

 
Also I actually dropped by the beauty counters to get more samples for you two, I got RMK, SK-II, Shu Uemura and stuff, and I will include them randomly so I hope you get the samples you want!

I will definitely do another giveaway soon with dome drugstore products. But the thing about Japanese drugstore products is that they are not cheap at all. They are really expensive for the quality that's why I don't buy many Japanese drugstore products. I think the western ones like Rimmel, LOREAL and REVLON are much better and cheaper. But I will do a giveaway when I find a good one because I would like you all to know more about our beauty products :)

Thanks again for those who entered! Oh and I'm very happy to have more than 30 followers, and I am really really happy to receive your comments! Thanks so much!
