[Tried & Tested] TONYMOLY Mr. Smile Patch & Red Cheeks Girl's Patch

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hi Huneybees,


It's always so lovely to have friends getting me interesting beauty products. These ones today are from TONYMOLY and when I first received them, I was a little bewildered.

"Why give me a moustache? It's not Halloween yet!"


Well, it turns out Mr. Smile Patch is a mask patch for the laugh lines. It is said that it can help you to firm your skin and to enhance your skin elasticity.


So, I jumped right into using it the moment I got home. When I first opened the package, it was filled with the essence. The patch was the jelly type, and my nails kinda cut into the jelly a little while taking the "moustaches"out. 


It takes about 20-30 mins to let your skin soak up the essence, and in the meantime, take as many selfies as you want, just don't smile!


Actually, I didn't see much of a difference after using the Mr. Smile Patch. I'm not sure is it because it requires a few more times, but I must say it was fun wearing this, hubby had a good laugh looking at me. =X


The other one that I have is the Red Cheeks Girl's Patch. It's like 2 pink translucent circles and same like the Mr. Smile Patch, it was filled with the essence. This one works more for ladies who have red cheeks or a little acne problem, where you want to soothe the skin. 



But, for me, it worked great as a moisturiser as well. With Kelp extract that contains vitamin K to stabilize the skin; Cabbage Rose extract, Cherry Blossom extract, Apricot extract, and Peach extract to help create bright and energetic skin. 

They are very fragrant, but they keep sliding off my cheeks. I had to keep holding on to them for 20 mins. Pretty tiring, but I loved the after effect! My face had a little cheeky pink glow, which I literally just slapped on my sunscreen and went out the next day. No blusher required!

Don't I look like those Chinese zombies?!
 Well, if you girls had tried them, let me know what you think.
Or if you have anymore of such interesting products to recommend, feel free to comment or email me!

Combining the 2 is just so hilarious! =X

[Tried & Tested] 3 Concept Eyes (3CE) REAL SOFT CLEANSING SHERBET

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hi Huneybees,


Even before my trip to Korea, I'm already getting all the goodies from there! Here today to introduce is the 3CE REAL SOFT CLEANSING SHERBET. 


3CE or rather 3 CONCEPT EYES is the top hot Korean Beauty brand currently, for its bright hip colours. I've gotten some of those products myself, but the product I'm sharing today is for cleansing. This is the most delicate makeup remover I've ever had!


Once you have opened the packaging, inside is a tub of white soft cream that feels so so so light! I simply use the spatula provided and scoop a spoon of it for the whole face. Then I simply rub that all over my face, concentrating more on the eyes.




But as the Cleansing Sherbet feels so soft, I'm normally using very little force as well, It's as though I'm just lightly brushing my hands over my face. It works like magic, just that small dollop of cleanser and a few rounds of rubbing, my makeup is fully removed! And all you have to do next is to wash your face with lukewarm water and follow with a cleanser, then you are good to go to bed. 

Did I mention how fragrant it is?!
OMG! I literally swear by this, it is the most delicate makeup remover you can find in the market and it removes all types of makeup, be it waterproof or water resistant! It doesn't sting the eyes and definitely on my must-have list when it comes to cleansing!


You can find 3CE products at their website here.
I hope they open a branch here in Singapore, kinda save me the trouble don't you think?
Hehehehe ~

[Tried & Tested] Etude House Color Lips-fit Lipsticks (Spring 2014 Collection)

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hi Huneybees,


Etude House has been one Korean beauty brand I've been using since Day 1 they launched in Singapore, and everytime there's something new, I would be rushing to stores for them. A little bird told me of their new launch - Color Lips-fit Lipsticks and I knew I had to have them!


Endorsed by the pretty Sulli and Krystal from Korean girl band - f(x), they lipsticks were definitely something to have this Summer!




These Color Lips Fit lipsticks being soft and silky, with an airy texture that provides vivid colour pigmentation. With a range of seven lovely colours and one clear gloss, there's a shade for everyone to show off those lips!
  • PK001 Magical Fit Pink
  • PK002 Silhouette Fit Pink
  • PK003 Fantasy Fit Pink (Sulli’s pick) *Already sold out by the way I arrived!*
  • BE101 See Through Fit Beige
  • OR201 Dream Fit Coral (Krystal’s pick)
  • OR202 Wanna Fit Orange
  • RD301 Perfect Fit Red
  • H901 Petit & Top Coat

Here's a swatch of the lipsticks on my hand, basically what you see is what you get. The color on the top lid of the packaging is the color you get on the lips. 

I fell in love immediately on how vibrant the colours were and how easily the colours get picked up with just one swipe. But since I've been "collecting" quite a bit of lip colours, I only got the BE101 See Through Fit Beige.


Even the packaging is so bright and bubbly like the colours!


So, I had the lipstick on the moment I got it and I simply loved how *may I stress* easily it glides onto my lips. Once it's dried, there's this light powdery texture, you almost don't feel it at all. There's a matte texture to it and it can be a little drying (that is why the topcoat would be required). 

It didn't transfer at all, even after a few drinks, except that the colour faded off slightly. But the good thing is that the lipstick is buildable and you can layer on a bit more after that.


The only thing I didn't like was the smell. Though it is suppose to be fruity, it kinda reminded me of cough syrups, but luckily once applied, you don't really get the smell or the taste of it. 


The shade that I got - BE101 See Through Fit Beige had a tinge of orange in its nude shade, slightly different from the pinkish nude shade that I have. But I liked how I can match it with almost any colour eyeshadow, definitely a shade for olive skin-toned ladies like me.


If you buy Etude House Color Lips-Fit lipsticks at the store, they are giving out mini H901 top coats per lipstick. It gives the lipstick a slightly more glossy look, but I would prefer it matte, you can have a little lip balm on before applying the lipstick!

Do share your photos with me if you do get the lipsticks! I can't wait to see how the rest of the lipsticks look like on your lips!

[What's New] Simply TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL

Labels: , , , , ,

Hi Huneybees,


Woohoo1 School has gotten more fun with the new Korean Beauty label - TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL. I may have left school for a while, but seriously, I will get a pencil box just for theses amazingly packaged beauty products.


TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL is a new concept “beauty life brand” combining practicality with fun.  It allows people to meet contemporary artists’ design within its stores.  The brand aims to breed new consumer culture for experimental art amongst the trend leaders and those who want to give themselves their own aesthetic style of living, regardless of generation or age.


Walking into the store, I am greeted by the fun loving staff and everything is so colourful. The only thing I thought was a little creepy had to be the little doll heads and hands hanging on the boards above. Why so scary???




There were alot of people that night, my camera just kept snapping, I'm hoping to go down to the store soon, to check out the products and probably give you guys a lowdown on them. So, here's some photos of the super adorable school-inspired beauty products....



They have an extensive BB Cream line and  some the interesting one would have to be the McGirly BB Cream that comes in a compact and you simply have to push the compact for the cream to be squeezed out. It saves the wastage!



The twirling one above has whitening essence entwined into the BB Cream and for the cute tub below, it is called the After School Lunch Box. Not only do you get BB cream, you can also find concealer and highlighter on top. Totally a must-have for ladies on the go!






The Eye Make-Up Pencil Eraser is a hot favourite, just a few swipes, you can easily remove any boo-boo you made....


I must get the Marshmallow Puff. It's so squishy and soft...


Another special is their Dinosaur series - Dinoplatz. It is a collaboration with a New York architect and the range has won 3rd place in this year’s global Dieline Package Design Award 2013 (Health & Beauty category). There's a full collection of eyeshadows, eyeliners, mascaras and lip colours. The Eyeshadow on Flat Iron caught my attention. It's 2 very bronze-y shades which is perfect for the night...









I just wana buy this home, so I can squeeze some abs. Hehehehhe....

Excited? Attracted? Wana go check them out?


TOO COOL OR SCHOOL is located at #03-53 Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road.
