Majolica Majorca Ch 34 Psychedelicious Jeweling eyes No.66 and No.77 Mini Review andSwatches

Majolica Majorca came out with a new collection called Ch 34 Psychedelicious. It comes with many items :
Lash King in BR 666 Brown (new shade), Brow and Lash Colourist (Available in 2 shades- BR 333 & BR555), Cream Pencil Liner in BR 677 Cocoa Brown (new shade), Puff De Cheek (Available in PK 415 & RD 414), Honey Pump Gloss Neo (Limited Edition- RS 456), New nail polish colours Artistic Nails, Popping Shower Powder and 2 Jeweling eyes Eyeshadow quads that came recently in No.66 and No.77.

I spotted these in SASA Macau so I quickly swatched them and took pictures. It seems that quad No.77 with pinks and browns is more pigmented than the other one. They are all shimmery colours, some are more glittery than the others.

Check out the swatches and let me know what you think :)

See you next time,

Revlon Colorburst Lip butter Review and Swatches

This has been raved about so much and I know i'm kinda late in reviewing this item, but I just wanted to share these pretty swatches..

My very short review on this:
- Nice feel
- Not long lasting (well I think it's okay since it is a lip butter, and butter slides away easily)
- Pretty Medium pigmentation colour that looks natural
- Gives my lips mediocre moisturising properties
- Not a miracle product for chapped lips
- Has shimmer that is still wearable and pretty

thoughts on each shades:
1. Sweet Tart
When I saw the swatches before buying them online in Ulta, I thought that it would look more wearable for me. I personally think it appears too bold/bright for my liking. This has very good pigmentation for a lip butter.

2. Peach Parfait
Initially, I thought this would come off sort of brown and muddy but it turns out to be a really neutral and wearable colour and it's my favorite out of all the shades.

3. Tutti Frutti
This was the first lip butter I bought. I love this a lot but I couldn't pull of a completely tangerine/ bright coral lip without mixing or blending. It adds a nice touch of brightness to pink glosses.

4.Strawberry Shortcake
This is a pale cool toned pink that is a very cute colour. I like it a lot too, but I prefer using a very sheer layer because my warm toned skin doesn't really match cool toned colours.

All in all, I do like these that is why I bought 3 more shades after the first one I got in tutti frutti. They are very nice for a natural look and I would love to repurchase them if I ran out.

See you next time,

Dolly Wink Otona Collection New Brown Liquid Eyeliner Review,Swatches and Comparison(to the old black DW liner)

I just felt like I have to say this : 
This is my second time writing this because I accidentally deleted my completed post ! 
But since I am a dilligent person and I want to share my thoughts on this item, I have pain-stakingly written down everything again..

I love Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliners... but the pencil formula is just terrible and a waste of your money. You can get much better pencil eyeliners with more product for less price like the NYX Slide on eyeliner pencil. Enough with the pencil liners, now it's time to talk about liquid liners !!!

I have tried several other Western and Asian types of eyeliners with felt tips and brush tips. I personally love brush tips better because they give a fine line with awesome colour delivery.
Dolly Wink liquid eyeliners are often compared to the K-Pallete 24H Tattoo Liner, which I also have and used. The comparison I am going to talk about is on the black liners from the two brands. KP has a longer lasting power, but i don't like it since it's like a temporary tattoo and is hard to remove ; I have to tug my lids to remove it. Plus, the DW lasts long enough like 4-5 hours which is enough for me and the colour is a darker black.

Now .. Talking about the brown liner , I like the fact that DW has the same shape and brush tip that I very much love ..



Reasons to love the Otona Brown Liner:
- A medium brown that Looks more natural than the vivid black liner . If you like a natural look, it will suit you.
- Has an awesome brush tip that allows you to creat thin/ fine lines.
- Nicely Pigmented
- Lasts quite a long time 3-4 hourse without reapplying or smudging
- Doesnt burn/ sting your eyes when you apply it on the lower lashes or very closely to your lash line.
- Dries quickly
- Uber cute packaging !!! ( cute packaging+product is an awesome combo for a make up junkie!) 

Why it is not that awesome:
- Lasts 1 hour less than the old formulation ( for me )
- The brown might be too light for some people
- Hard to find . As far as I know, It is only available in Japan and maybe some online stores.




All in all I am satisfied with this eyeliner, It does it's job and it's a nice addition to my growing collection. I would use this instead of my Holy Grail DW Black one for a more natural daily look.


See you in the next post,

Canmake Perfect Serum BB Cream Review and Swatches

Canmake is probably my top favorite Japanase drugstore brand, and that's why I have the most number of items from them. I love canmake lip,concealer and cheek products, but so far, for me the eyeshadow are too sparkly/glittery. I have swatched their powder foundation before and it's really nice but the colors are just too light for me. 

Overview: This is the first liquid product from Canmake that I bought and I like it better than the Missha Perfect Cover since it is not that greyish but has a higher SPF. To me, this bb cream is decent,  the colour selection is poor like most asian BB Creams that only come in 2 shades (1 Light and 2 Natural )but most consumers in Japan would suit it , so I can't complain about it. The colour is a little  light for me but I can adjust the colour with some powder or bronzer. This is the first high SPF of 50 BB Cream that is not overly grey. I love the fact that the yellow undertone still shows and blends into my skin. 

Facts about this BB Cream
- contains great ingredients
- blends in well and doesn't feel like anything is in your skin
- to me it is moisturising
- not oily
- dewy finish
- medium coverage, buildable to almost full ( it has awesome coverage for a bb cream, seriously it's awesome for my dark circles) 
- doesn't cover acne bumps as great as spots/ dark circles/ acne scars/pores on flat skin surface
- stays on your face a long time, even on a hot summer day
- only ¥840 in Japan which is decent because the content is not much either
- only comes in 2 shades and only available in Japan and Hongkong, also some online stores


"The BB cream born from beauty serum ☆
You can care for your skin just by applying it. Contains 21 types of beautifying ingredients.
Natural, yet with superb coverage ♥
SPF50 & PA+++, with a formulation that's gentle on your skin ♥

A skincare product that reduces the effect of the sun's rays and acts as a foundation with sheer coverage!"

"Contains 21 types of beautifying and moisturizing ingredients ♥
Hyaluronic acid, collagen, ceramides, royal jelly extract, witch-hazel extract, arbutin, Job's tears extract,
Saxifraga stolonifera extract, aloe vera extract, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, artichoke leaf extract, cherry leaf extract,
prune resolvent, seaweed extract, soybean extract, glycosyl trehalose, gingko extract, peach leaf extract, 

hydrolyzed silk, European white birch bark extract, multiflora rosehip extract"

Quoted from Canmake's website :)


I thought that it would be helpful to compare this bb cream to the ultra popular Missha M Perfect Cover bb cream because most people would know the size. I think the Canmake BB Cream is better because the product Is better and looks more natural. The packaging is pink and super cute , eventhough it doesn't have a pump, the squeeze tube allows you to take a pea size at a time. 

I think that this BB Cream has a very nice formula and colour considering the fact that it has an SPF of 50 higher than Missha M , but this is not a Holy Grail BB Cream for me. 

p.s.High SPF is good for using out on a hot summer but it flashes back on pictures.

Japan Haul August 2012 Dolly Wink Otona Collection+Canmake

Hi all!!! I have a really awesome mini haul to show you guys :) Reviews and swatches will definitely come soon !!

My sister came back from her study trip to Japan and got me 4 things that are awesome :)

1. Dolly Wink New Otona Collection False Eyelashes in No.10 Sweet Cat

2. Dolly Wink New Otona Collection Bottom Eyelashes in No.13 Baby Girl

3. Dolly Wink New Otona Collection Brown Liquid Eyeliner

4. Canmake Perfect Serum BB Cream in No.2 Natural


Both of the falsies I got are matched up in the promo pictures so I thought that they complimented each other and would make a nice pair of top and bottom lashes. The Otona collection eyelashes look more natural than the old Dolly Wink collection, that looks spiky and alot more gyaru. Personally I like both but the Otona Collection looks more wearable.

The Dolly Wink Brown Liquid Eyeliner is completely new and is not an old product with a different packaging like the black liquid eyeliner and pencil liners. The liquid liner originally only came in black and there is no problem with the formula, well, it is my Holy Grail liquid eyeliner. I'm not sure if they changed the formula or not for the black one because I didn't get that. Brown liquid liners look less harsh so I wanted to get this for a natural look.

The last but not least, the Canmake Perfect Serum BB Cream is something I have wanted from quite sometime ago. Since it is not sold in Singapore, I had no easy access to the product. When I finally got it I was so happy because it's an SPF 50PA++ BB Cream with supposedly 21 awesome ingredients. I will review it pretty soon so I will let you guys know whether I like it or not.

All in all I am really happy with my haul and I can't wait to test them all out :)

See you later,
Cherry :)
