Holika Holika Lipgloss Review

Hi pretty girls~! Guess what! Another Holika Holika products >___<~!!

Ok ok I know I'm crazy about Holika Holika -.-"

Anyway today I've brought you all these 2 cute and adorable lipglosses by Holika Holika
ta-da~!



The left one is called Aqua Muse Watery Lipgloss and the right one is Volume Talk Lipgloss (if I'm not wrong -.-"). I tried so hard to read the korean words on the sticker under the lipgloss.

The colors I have is Aqua Muse Watery Lipgloss 403 and Volume Talk Lipgloss 206.

Aqua Muse Watery Lipgloss 403 is a sweet orange peachy kind of color, and Volume Talk Lipgloss 206 is just a very sheer and nudy pink kind of color.


This is the top cap of  the Volume Talk Lipgloss which I think very withc~y and whimsical x)

And these are the swatches of both lipgloss :)




What I though about these lipglosses:
I do love both color and I really love the packaging also x). The colors does show up same as what you see inside the tube. These lipgloss are more into the sheer type.

For Aqua Muse Watery Lipgloss, I love how watery and moisturizing it is to my lips. The color is not like super pigmented but I do like the pigmentation of the lipgloss. It is not as sticky as other lipgloss which I think is good. The staying power is not so amazing though, but I do not mind since all lipgloss need to be touch up after a few hours. Overall I really love this lipgloss because of the pigmentation and color x).

Moving on to the Volume Talk Lipgloss, I do find it very sticky compared to the Aqua Muse Watery Lipgloss. I usually apply lipglosses after putting on lipbalm and lipstick. And I feels that this lipgloss kinda wash off my lipstick color. I don't know why but everytime I apply this lipgloss my lipstick color would be like 40% gone! The staying power is not so good also :(. Overall I couldn't really like this lipgloss. This is not a super bad product but I feels that I won't use it as much as the aqua muse watery.

If I was asked which one do I prefer from these 2, I will definitely pick up Aqua Muse Watery Lipgloss. But I honestly really love the volume talk lipgloss packaging~ x)

Holika Holika: Magic Palette Painting Blusher Review

Hi! Today I've brought another Holika Holika products review~~ (I guess I can become Holika Holika's ambassador now :p)

Anyway today I'm gonna review Magic Palette Painting Blusher


I really love the witch on the right bottom of the box x)
So adorable~


When you open the box ta-da~


This cute palette consist of 3 cream blushes (Berry Pink, Baby Pink, and Soft Peach). The case itself is made of tin.




These are the swatches of all blush~



At the left is the cream blush itself, and at the right is after I blend it with finger. See how cute and pastel like all the colors are?

I did purchased this blush after reading a review saying that you can mix and match all the blushes, in other words you can create your own blushes according to your taste x). Honestly I've never seen anything like this before so I thought this could be very interesting. And believe me I was right! x) First of all, I love the pigmentation of the blush. Although I'm not a big fan of cream blushes because sometimes they do feel sticky, but trust me, these blushes are not sticky at all. I really love all the colors because as usual I love pastel-like colors xD.


The only downside of this products is that it doesn't stay for so long by itself on my cheeks. I think these only last for around 3-4 hours on my cheeks. Please note that I do not have oily cheeks. So if you have oily skin, I suggest you to prime your face before putting on these blushes. The other way is to layer on another blush/highlighters to set the cream blush.


These are the swatches of  the mixed blushes that I created.



Oh! 1 more positive thing about these cream blush. It is definitely waterproof! ;)
These are the swatches of the blush after I wash it with warm water.



Overall, I do really love this products for it's color, quality, and of course packaging x). Although I couldn't really recommend this to anyone who has extremely oily skin but I highly recommend this to those who have dry-normal skin x)

My Beauty Diary: Earl Grey Tea and Macaron Sheet Mask Review

Hi~Hi! How have you all been? x)
I'm back again with another My Beauty Diary mask review~
And this time it's the Earl Grey Tea and Macaron Sheet Mask



Product Description:
My Beauty Diary Earl Grey Tea & Macaron Sheet Mask illuminates and clarifies the face in 20 minutes.
The combination of black tea ferment and bergamot essential oil gives a miraculously brightening effect. It brightens dull and yellowish skin tone, leaving skin briskly clear, fair and flawless.


Sweet almond protein and sugar cane extract are mixed to leave skin glittering and translucent, smooth and delicate. The fruit extracts of rosa canina, blueberry and acerola leave skin fair and perfectly clear, enhancing the skin’s translucency and ability to defend.

Suitable for normal skin, it is recommended for dull skin without lustre.

What I thought about this:
First of all, I bought this because it claims to have brightening property (as usual I loveeeee brightening mask) x). I find that this mask has a very nice scent, although I couldn't describe the scent but this doesn't have any weird or annoying scent at all.

After I put on this mask for about 30-40 minutes (although the description says 20 minutes  but I like to use it longer :p), honestly I didn't see any results at all -.-". I though I would be disappointed by this mask. But the next morning after I use this mask, I was surprised by how my acne scar has been faded. I do have a lot acne scar on my forehead and my chin, and surprisingly the acne scar on my chin almost disappeared!

Compared to MBD Hello Kitty edition mask, I do love Hello Kitty one more than this. But this is actually a very good products if you have a lot acne scar. It is just that I don't feel it brightens my face a lot.

I didn't experience any breakouts after using this, so I supposed this mask is safe for sensitive skin, which is good. :)


This is the back of the mask with description in chinese (if you can read chinese please go ahead and read) ^^"

Rating: 4 star! (I would definitely give this 5 star if it brightens a little bit more :p)
Recommended: yes, especially for those with acne scar

You can get these masks from HouseofYounique
We are having 20% off all ready stock mask (including My Beauty Diary mask)~!! x)
Take care!

My Beauty Diary: Hello Kitty Edition Review

Hi-hi~! I'm sorry for not posting anything for these past few weeks.
I have been extremely busy with my new online shop
you can check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/houseofyounique x)

Ok today I'm gonna review all these adorable Hello Kitty mask from My Beauty Diary~!
I have been a my beauty diary fan since 2 years ago because I love how thin their mask is and the result can been seen right after application. And my beauty diary has become my favorite mask of all time.
Of all My Beauty Diary mask that I've tried, These has become my Holy Grail mask~!


It comes in 2 flavor which is strawberry milk (left) and honey strawberry (right)



It comes with 3 different design of mask in 1 box. Adorable isn't it? x)

Anyway, the strawberry milk claims to brighten and moisturize the skin. And this is so true!
After I use this mask for around 30-40 minutes I can see that my complexion has been brighten up a bit and my skin felt plumped, which is good x). At first I thought "ok this is just the same with other mask that I've tried" But once again i was proven to be wrong :p. The next day, when I woke up, I was stunned by the brightening effect to my skin. My skin has brighten up A LOTTTT~!!! And it does gives a healthy glow to my skin, which I really adore..~~

Let's move on to honey strawberry~


Same with the strawberry milk, it also comes in 3 different adorable design.

This products claims for whitening and smoothening. And once again my beauty diary indeed never disappoint me :D. This product is crazily effective for my skin~!! After application my complexion was A LOTTTT brighter and whiter than usual. Well I know I already has a fair complexion but I do love to have a bit more fairer skin x). My skin also feels so soft after using this masks. And the great thing about this mask is that I realize that my acne scars has been faded a little bit after using this.

My conclusion is I highly recommend this to anyone who needs extra brightening and whitening. I do love both of these, but if I have to choose I would choose the honey strawberry. Why? Well I guess I really love the whitening effect if gives to my skin as well as to my acne scar. I do not experience any breakouts after using this, which is good, because I kinda have a quite sensitive skin so I get breakouts easily. So if you have sensitive skin, I will still recommend this to you. :)

Rating: 5 STAR!
Recommended: ABSOLUTELY~!!

If you are interested in these but cannot get it anywhere, you can buy it from my online shop by visiting Houseof Younique

Until next time, take care~~ xD
