[Review] Baviphat Unbelievable RICH Volume Mascara & Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner auto stick

Annyeong~! ^-^
Do you enjoy first days of spring? Ah, I don`t know what`s going on here, but the weather seems to be more colder these days, than it was during winter!! WTH?! >-<` I was waiting for real spring for so~~~ long! And what have I got? NOTHING, but winter x_x
lol
Anyways, at the end of 2012, I have received a present from my Korean friend. She sent me two products, which I am going to talk about this time.
Here they are: Baviphat Unbelievable RICH Volume Mascara and Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner Auto Stick.

1. Baviphat Unbelievable RICH Volume Mascara

I have wanted to try some Korean mascara for a long time. I have been using Maybelline mascara for ages, and I am absolutely satisfied with it. However I just wanted to have something new. Who knows, Korean mascara might be better, right? kkk~
My friend seemed to know my wishes, so she bought me  Baviphat Unbelievable RICH Volume Mascara as a part of birthday present. I was so exciting and happy!! ^-^`
BUT! I felt insecure, right after I have seen a brush. Why? Look here:

Yes! Curvy brush!! Seriously! t_t Such brushes are pain in the ass. I hate using them. Even Maybelline mascara with a brush like this is annoying and not as good as ordinary brush mascara is. Yeah, I avoid using mascaras with curvy brushes. But it was a present. So I`ve decided to give a chance to this mascara.  
And what do you think guys? This brush isn`t as bad as it seems to be. kkk I worried for nothing! Yes, it is less comfortable than ordinary straight brush, but it is still easy in use. *what a relief*
What can I say about  Baviphat mascara:
  • easy to apply, leaves no clumps and smudges, no marks on eyelids!
  • I can say nothing about curly-effect, which was promised by Baviphat, because my lashes are curly by nature ^-^
  • this mascara provides "natural" volume, you won`t have a dramatic effect with super thick lashes
  • talking about minuses.. it has only one big lack - it is difficult to remove the mascara. I am using Nivea eye make-up remover, and it isn`t strong enough for Korean product. So I waste more time, removing this mascara >-<``

Because of the camera flash, it looks like the eyeliner isn`t pigmented enough. It isn`t true! It has really deep black color. This eyeliner is comfortable in use. It`s easy to draw arrows in corners of the eyes~ So I have no problems with applying. However. It`s an ordinary eyeliner without any great points. It doesn`t last long and smears a little. It also leaves marks on eyelids after a couple of hours. The good thing is that  Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner is easy to remove with any make-up remover or even clean water.

Here is some photos of how these two products look in my eyes. The quality of pictures isn`t great. Just bear with it.

[How to] Lip scrub!

Hey, guys~ ^-^
I`m sure, every girl wants to have soft and beautiful lips, without any cracks, peeling parts, etc. Thanks to different cosmetic companies, we could keep our lips in good condition. Just look at all these cute packages of tasty looking lip scrubs from various Korean cosmetic brands!

 
 Etude House Kissful Lip Care Lip Scrub 10g                                             Baviphat Apple Jelly Lip Scrub 6g


 Holika Holika Lip Rescue Trio (scrub)                                              Missha The Style Melting Sugar Lip Scrub

                                                                         
Innisfree Eco Windy Lip Scrub Green Tea 15ml                        Nature Republic Mango Bebe Lip Scrub 10ml   

Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub 9g

Wow! The choice is great. I, personally, want to try them all kkk~ Even though all these scrubs aren`t that expensive I see no reason why I should spend 5-10$ for a small tube or jar of it. Seriously! I know how it is important to take good care of my lips, so lipstick, lip gloss or tint would look great on it. At the same time I want to keep my money.
So, for the ones, who is at the same situation as I am, there is an easy decision - home-made lip scrub. ^-^
Most scrubs are sugar-based, that`s why you could use an ordinary sugar to scrub your lips!

How to:
  1. Moisten your lips
  2. Put a little amount of sugar in your palm
  3. Move your palm to lips and press it, so the grains of sugar will stuck on your lips
  4. Gently rub your lips
  5. Wash away remain sugar with lukewarm water
  6. Use your favorite lip balm.
Scrub your lips 2 or 3 times a week and they will stay soft and beautiful with or without make up! ^-^Y

p.s. You may use salt instead of sugar~ ^-^
