Hello :]
I’m going to be using the following format from now on for reviews because I feel that it gives you a better idea of what I am personally looking for in that particular item and how it measured up to them. I know everyone has their own preferences and such and sometimes our “amazing” is someone else’s “awfulll!!!”!
Expectations:
- Volume! It has volume right in the name so that was probably my biggest expectation.
- No clumps! I read a few reviews that said that it didn’t clump on them at all.
- No smudging! It claims to not smudge and smear giving you panda eyes. Intriguing huh?! So it should be long lasting also.
- Cute packaging. Yes, I admit it! I am a total sucker for cute packaging =X
- Not a battle to remove! Some Asian mascaras are notorious for the difficulties it gives people when they try to remove it.
HELLOZ READERS!
I am super duper excited about this post because :drumroll: my first purchases from EBAY have arrived!! I know you guys might be thinking... "WHY ARE YOU SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT?!" Well you guys, I have been eyeing my Korean/Japanese goodies on Ebay since forever and couldn't have a Paypal until a few weeks back. I only ordered 3 things because I don't want to over splurge! Trust me, it was hard narrowing down my wishlist to 3 things.
The first item that I picked out was the Etude House Shini Star lip Balm in #5 Guava. I was deciding between this one and the peach one. Decided to go with this one because I thought it would be a cute pink color but it comes off a bit darker than I expected. My lips are naturally pretty pigmented though. I put chapstick on and it turns red -__-;
The second item that I got is the Tony Moly Nail polish in #11 Indian Blue. I was also deciding between this shade and the Khaki one. I heard a lot of good things about tony Moly nail polishes as well as the etude ones (next round of orders I will prob get one >:])
And lastly is probably my most anticipated item, Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara in #1 Power Volume! IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! As seen in SBS Heroes ^^ mwahaha!
& now for the mini Ebay seller reviews
Sellers:
Zinopark: I rated this seller 5/5 on all aspects of the transaction! Fast shipping, 2 free samples and everything intact! The box wasn’t squished or anything either. WOO!
