Review: Holika Holika Covermazing Superfit Founstick

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Holika Holika Covermazing Superfit Founstick! I have the lightest shade which is 01 Warm Ivory, and I bought this product because the name really intrigued me, like they've merged 6 names into 3 and it also has a brush on the other end which could potentially make it awesome for travel!

Review: Holika Holika Waterdrop Tinted Foundation

Hello Princesses!

Fail or Holy Grail Review: Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot One Shot Peeling

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot One Shot Peeling! This peel was recommended by the lovely people at RAsianBeauty since I found the TonyMoly Peel to be so lackluster. I'm so happy to say that this peel is a Holy Grail rather than a Fail!

This post contains a lot of photos of feet as well as photos of feet in the middle of peeling. If you don't want to look at peeling feet or feet in general please don't read or watch this review for the obvious reason that I show my feet to show the progress the peel makes, not to gross people out. We all have feet, mine aren't that gross I promise! ^ ^

Fail or Holy Grail Review: Tony Moly Super Peeling Liquid Shiny Foot and Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot Sheet Mask

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Tony Moly Super Peeling Liquid Shiny Foot and the Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot Sheet Mask! I thought I would throw in the Holika Holika Foot Mask with this since it's not that interesting of a review on it's own! Since I am on a very low dosage of Isotretinoin (otherwise knows as Accutane, Roaccutane, or Orotane) I did have to talk to my dermatologist before using this peel to make sure it was suitable for my skin. While you're taking a higher dosage of Isotretinoin it is wise to avoid chemical peels because your skin is so much more fragile than usual, but since I am on such a low dose I was cleared to use this peel.
Let me also point out the obvious ick factor. I'm talking about foot peeling in this blog post. All of the photos are going to be of my feet. If you don't like feet, please don't read this post because it might make you feel sick and that is not my aim.

Fail or Holy Grail: Above Average Products

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about some Above Average Products! Instead of talking about a Holy Grail Product today I'm going to talk about some products that are definitely above average, but too boring to write a full review on. Thrilling!

Review: Holika Holika Sweet Cotton Sebum Clear Powder In Mist

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Holika Holika Sweet Cotton Sebum Clear Powder In Mist! This is such a cute little product, it contains a powder within a mist and claims to lock your make up in place, similar to a loose or pressed powder!

Fail or Holy Grail Review: Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara, Skinfood My Short Cake Setting Mascara, The Body Shop Skinny Thin Felt Tip Eyeliner

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about three fail eye products that I found at the same time! I decided to pop these into one post as they aren't really long enough or interesting enough to warrant their own Fail or Holy Grail post!

Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara: Long and Curl

"Waterproof Mascara with magical power. A specially designed Memory Curl Polymer makes curling eyelashes all day long. Mild Mascara for Anyone with sensitive eyes or with concerns painful eyes. A non-smudge, just gentle cleansing also involving exfoliation. Use warm water only.Contents
Magical Volume Powder :
It can help extreme voluming abundant to the roots of the eyelashes from outside to inside.

Options
#03 Volume & Curl (Waterproof), #04 Long & Curl (Waterproof)

How to use
Lift eyelashed up with Magic stick the eyelashes individual.
Spread eyelashes with magic ball."(1)

I adore the packaging of this mascara, it's sturdy, cute and I just love the little dome on the top!

However, I do not adore the mascara wand. It's almost bald, only having three stripes of spikes running down the entire wand with a ball tip that has no spikes on the tip. I find it really difficult to use, and poked myself in the eyeball all three times that I used it. Getting waterproof mascara off your contacts isn't a walk in the park!

I find that it makes my lashes look long, but quite spidery. The fail part of this

 mascara is absolutely the wand, I just can't stand it at all!

Skinfood My Short Cake Setting Mascara

"It coats every inch of eyelashes without smudging to provide amazing curls and rich eyelashes at the same time. *How to Use- Use the Eyelash Up Gold (eyelash curler) to curl your eyelashes, and use the product for more dramatic eyelash makeup. -Gently lift your eyelids with your fingers and intensively apply on the roots. Lightly shake the brush upwards to brush your eyelashes." (2)

This mascara makes my eyelashes look gorgeous! They're nicely separated and voluminous.

BUT, it's sticky. If I sneeze or just blink forcefully, my lashes stick together in the grossest way. You can see in the above photo that it looks like it hasn't dried properly, which I think it accurate. No matter how long I leave the mascara on my eye, or how long I leave the wand out of the bottle, this mascara will not dry down. I don't understand why it won't, but it smudges and sticks and I hate it.

The Body Shop Skinny Thin Felt Eyeliner

"With a fine felt tip to leave you primed for precision. The thinner the line the more natural the look, but this multitalented master can be built up to achieve anything from a bold statement, to intricate artwork.
• Easy to apply and get in close to the lash line

• Fast drying

• Smudge proof

• Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers"(3)

This liner has a thin felt tip, but it's quite a dry felt tip. By that I mean that just using the thin tip will not give you enough ink to create a thin line. You can apply a bit of pressure to the tip to push the ink out, but this gives a wider line. It doesn't create thin lines after the first five times that I used it, I store it tip down and I've never had a liner go so dry so quickly!

I definitely regret purchasing this liner, it just doesn't work for thin lines, how dry does that wing look!?

I hope you enjoyed this Fail Eye Products Post, did you try any of these products too?

Store Review: Style Korean

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about my shopping experience with Style Korean! Style Korean used to be called Honest Skin who I reviewed back in June, so I was really interested to see whether they had picked up their game since my last order was less than satisfactory.

Website Practicality

Style Korean's website needs work. I actually really like the little black sidebar, it's really functional and handy! They have duplicate tabs on the blue top bar for no reason though. It's difficult to create a log in (they saved the Honest Skin sign ups so I had to have my password reset) and the site doesn't seem to save the addresses properly. It's not hard to navigate, but it's a little annoying.

Price Comparison

Style Korean has almost the lowest prices I've ever seen, but the shipping price isn't fantastic, making this store quite expensive to shop at. If I was to purchase anything from Style Korean, it would be something that is so ridiculously low (from clearance section or weekly discount) so that it counteracts their high shipping price.

Style Korean

Cookie Blusher $4.44 + Shipping $5.95 = $10.39

Roseroseshop

Cookie Blusher  $4.00 + Shipping $4.17 = $8.17

Cosmetic Love

Cookie Blusher $5.90 + Shipping $0.00 = $5.90

 Shipping and Packaging

I placed my order on the 17th of June and my order was shipping on the 19th. My shipping cost $5.95USD through Korea Post for the 4 products weighing 90g. The shipping was tracked, and arrived at my door on the 1st of July. It was well wrapped and nothing was harmed during shipping.

Products

I was persuaded to shop with Style Korean due to their clearance sale! The prices were seriously low, so I thought it would be the most risk free way to try their services.

Skinfood Rose Essence Blusher #02 - $1.09

Though these blushers were super cheap, they're seriously lacking pigmentation. These swatches are all done with three or four applications, not just one which makes the quality a little more shocking.

Skinfood Rose Essence Blusher #03- $1.64

The third shade is brown. Literally. It's not my favourite shade and I'm not sure how much use I will get out of it! This is the most pigmented out of the three shades I purchased.

Skinfood Rose Essence Blusher #04 - $1.09

The fourth shade is supposed to be peach, but swatches a very light pink. It looks cute, so I'm excited to see how this looks on my skin!

Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara 02 Long and Curl - $1.83

The packaging of this mascara is super cute and I'm really excited to use it! ^.^

What I Love

- Super cheap clearance prices

- (Mostly) cheap regular prices
- Well packaged shipping
- Average length of shipping time

What I Don't Love

- Website is still a little buggy

- Shipping is expensive
- Still don't fully trust them after shopping with Honest Skin

Final Thoughts

Although nothing went wrong with this order from Style Korean, I'm not sure if I would shop with them very often because of my bad experience with Honest Skin (who is the same company, just re branded). The prices on clearance are fabulous, and juxtaposed with the high shipping cost they do even it out to be quite a good deal. Personally, I'd rather shop somewhere that has better customer service and spend a couple more dollars.

I would recommend shopping with Style Korean if they stock a product you can't find anywhere else, have the lowest price or are offering free shipping! ^.^
