Haul : Hayan Korea and More Other Stuff

Hey guys!

Just did some quick shopping after watching The Great Gatsby. :P

We went to SM San Lazaro because it's the closest to our houses. While walking around the mall, we stumbled upon the kiosk of Hayan Korea Cosmetics. It's the first time I've seen the brand. I haven't heard of it before and that is why I got interested in checking out each item in their kiosk.  I ended up purchasing 3 of their products:

They were on sale... sort of like an introductory price. Around 40-50% off. Though the friendly SA's said that they've been around since last November if I remember right.

So here are the items I bought:

Hayan Snail Reviving Ampule Serum

Hayan Real Cover & Clear Concealer

Hayan Natural Beauty Auto Eyebrow in Dark Brown

I planned to buy more but I don't have much cash with me. :P

If you want to check their stuff personally, here's a list of their branches:

I also bought other stuff!!!

The Body Shop White Gardenia Body Mist

L.A. Colors Loose Powder in Light

An Umbrella which print is a painting of Degas. 

Still looking for the one witha Starry Night by Van Gogh print. :P

Well, that's all for today.

What do you think of the items I bought?

Have you tried Hayan Korea Cosmetics yet?

Cheers!

Amuse Long Eye Pencil in Gold

Hi beauties!

Sharing with you my quick thoughts and some swatches of this product I received from my January The Salad Box.

Amuse Long Eye Pencil in Gold

This is Php 150.00 each when you order at Salad Box. Not sure if this is available elsewhere.

The shade I got is Gold.

This is one of the few products I have from the brand (I also have a lip liner).

Here are some info from Salad box's website about this particular product:

The SaladBox Take
With colors ranging from neutrals like brown and black to fun shades like gold and ocean blue, this eyeliner is definitely a must-have. Contrary to existing reviews, Amuse eye liners are soft, pigmented, and very easy to apply.

Other info is labeled on the pencil itself

How to Use
Keeping your hands as steady as possible, draw a thin line on your lash line. Keep your liner tidy with the sharpener.

Here's a closeup of the pencil.

Swatch on paper

Swatch on arm

Applied on the bottom of my eyes

This is quite soft and glides smoothly on skin that's why it's easy to use. Pigmentation is good as well! Lasting power isn't that impressive especially if you get oily easily.

What's good about it is that it is long so it will last you a while and get your money's worth.

So that's all for my review on Amuse Long Eye Pencil in Gold!

Have you tried any Amuse products yet? Which one?

Cheers!

Review : Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara

Hi loves!!

It took a while for me to finally buy a Mojolica Majorca mascara. I've read so many great reviews on their mascaras that I was convinced to try them out. It's just that I kept receiving mascaras as gifts and I didn't want to waste them.

But a month ago, Majolica Majorca Philippines gave a huge discount on a mascara that I just had to buy one! Got it for only Php 499.00!

Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara

It's cased on a plastic container upon purchase:

The shade I got is the black one, BK999. 

They have it in a different color too, BR666 (brown).

The labels are written in Japanese so I just browsed the web and found a website with the product desciption:

description

Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara contains rich fiber and Volume Up Wax make glossy, pine needle-shaped lashes with abundant volume and length. Strong against humidity, it maintains the lashes’ curl all day long. As it is water-proof, sweat-proof and tear-proof.

Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara catches even tiny lashes from their roots. Lashes are bitten between the balls and sharp triangular bunches are made. It pushes up making beautiful curls without clump.

how to use it

1. Comb eyelashes with eyelash brush. Curl up eyelashes with lash curler.
2. Take out the mascara brush. Brush your eyelashes outwards and horizontally. Brush the outer side of eyelashes first then the inner side for curly eyelashes.
3. Apply the second layer if necessary. Reapply after the previous layer dries.
4. Tidy up with eyelash brush.

The packaging is gorgeous! I'm a big fan of Majolica Majorca's packaging because it's simply princessy! :)

Here's the wand.

You'll see some loose fibers and it may also appear dry (but it's sooo not). It has a weird smell though... but it doesn't really matter since you won't be smelling it since it's applied on your lashes.

So below are pictures of my eyes before and after application and even up to 3rd coat of the product:

Bare eyes

Curled (using Shu Uemura's lash curler)

One coat 

2 coat!

3 coats!

My eyes with only mascara on!
No eyeliners. No eyeshadows.

It volumizes. It lengthens. It's lightweight so it doesn't pull down my lashes and kept it curled all day! The wand makes it easy to use and it reaches the short lashes! It's so easy to use at the lower lashes too! You might need a comb since this can tend the lashes to pile together because of the fibers but that only happens when you put too much coats. And it's waterproof too!

This can cause some smudging underneath the eyes... especially if you have oily skin like me. So try to place some translucent powder to avoid that from happening. And oh, you might need a good makeup remover to completely take this product off your lashes. :P

To summarize:

WHAT I LIKE:

Volumizes
Lengthens
Lightweight
Keeps my lashes curled
Easy to use
Packaging is gorgeous
Waterproof
Locally available
Available in 2 shades

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:

May sometimes smudge under the eyes

Will I repurchase?
Probably. But I want to try the other Majolica Majorca Mascaras first! Haha!

Have you tried Majolica Majorca's Lash King Mascara yet?
What about the other mascaras? Which is your favorite?


Cheers!
