BNTgirl x CATALINA Geo Auto Lip Liner

Wazzahhhh! Back at it again, another blog post!

Sometimes things goes well sometimes it doesn’t. Today I’ll be reviewing CATALINA Geo Auto Lip liner.

At first glance it looks super similar to the eyeliner I just reviewed, the only difference is the bottom stripe which indicated the color. And I definitely wouldn’t use red eyeliner.

The product itself comes in a fun twistable pencil like thing like the eyeliner. The only difference is the product inside the pencil casing.

I got the shade ‘exotic red’ it’s a cool toned darker red.

And the color itself, I still don’t know how I feel about it. But the application of it is smooth and easy with the pencil tip. You can exactly outline your lips.

This me in LA traffic with it on. Super precise application.

However, this is me after one greasy meal. Mongolian BBQ why you do this. So good it so greasy. Heart attack in a picture, but so yummy.

After:

Completely gone, the lipstick completely came off. Even though it felt drying on the lips, it did not abhere to my lips whatsoever.

Thinking about it later, it might just be better simply as its’ name, a lip liner.

Yeah it’s probably a solid lip liner, not good as a full lipstick. So my bad, testing it as a lipstick and not a lip liner.

So in the end if I were to rate it as a lip liner, 8/10. The area where it would’ve lined my lips is completely in tact.

But I would say 10/10 do not use as a lipstick.

BNTgirl x CATALINA GEO Auto Gel Eye Liner

Ayooo girllll~~~

It’s been a while since I did a make up review and today I’ll be doing a summer one!

Yeah I know it’s now late summer, but better late than never on a summer splash of color!

Today I’ll be reviewing CATALINA GEO Auto Gel Eye Liner!

Gel eyeliners used to be the thing in Korean beauty. It still is, but it used to be the it product. Still great for everyday usable and durability.

It gonna last long!

The most surprising thing to me is that blue summer eyeliner is a thing, I feel like it’s been a thing forever. But I’ve tried it once or twice before, and I, uh, look like a cheap hooker when I wear it. I just don’t think I can rock the blue eyeliner, but you can judge me. But maybe I should’ve tried to use it as a eyeshadow instead. C’est la vie.

The color I got is shine blue, it’s a shimmer pale blue color great for the summer.

It’s a super pretty blue, in fact my favorite color is blue, but like I said, I don’t think the color is for me.

We’ll see it now.

First, naked eyes….ohhhh so naked!

I got eyebags for days! But as you can see naked eyeballs.

Second, with the blue eyeliner.

As you can see I’ve used it as the accent color for my under eyelids and it looks kind of cool. Kind of edge-y and summer fresh.

But I don’t know, I don’t think I can ever rock the look.

But for the gel eyeliner itself, it comes in multiple shades including a very wearable black. Totally rockable.

Overall the formula is a solid gel one and it’ll last all day if you wear it out, I couldn’t try it all day because I couldn’t bear to be seen like that all day. BUT the hand sample line I drew in the earlier photo definitely stayed. It took a lot of Lancôme bi-facil to rub that off.

In the end, I’d rate this pretty strongly. It comes in a cool screw top pencil so no sharpener required. Just keep rotating the bottom handle clockwise for more product!

Solid 8/10. For the product itself, I’m still nifty about the color.

BNTgirl x MAXCLINIC CIRMAGE Lifiting stick

The product I’m about to review has received some cray hype online. If you haven’t seen it, there’s a video of the older Asian woman using this and literally LIFTING the wrinkles and fine lines from her face. You can google it. There are literally hundreds of videos online. Also YouTube videos and reviews. It’s a serious hype. So I was surprised when I got it from BNTNews, but good surprised.

The video is epic, EPIC.

Today I’ll be reviewing MAXCLINIC’s CIRMAGE.

But I don’t have those wrinkles, to uh, show you the awesome affects of it.

I did, however, use it on my dad. LOL. Unfortunately I’m not at privy to show those pics of him, but I can discuss how it did affect him.

So that’s going to be my review, just a summary of what I saw visually happen to his face, because mine doesn’t have any.

Also include some fine ass pictures.

This is what it looks like inside.

For the motions, you’re suppose to lift and rub your face with it, to relieve the wrinkles.

I made some pictures for the demonstrations of what I did on my dad.

Attack the under eye bags!

Attack the fatty areas to lift!

Now it did produce some light affects on my skin personally, but not anything too noticeable, so the before after pictures would be silly.

But for my dad, who has crazyyyyy wrinkles (60 y/o Asian man ) it totally lifted and smoothing his skin out!

He really loved how youthful it made him, it definitely smoothed out the fine lines in his face, and instead of many fine lines under his eyes, it turned into one big puffy skin area. A big improvement!

Unfortunately, his thicker lines/wrinkles could not be tamed.

A downside of the product is also it’s stickiness. I definitely wouldn’t use it on a everyday basis, but I definitely could see my dad whipping this out right before a family photo next time.

I’m giving this a 7/10. Definitely looks better on people with wrinkles!

BNTgirl x Stylenanda 3CE WHITE MILK PACK TO FOAM

Today I’ll be reviewing a favorite of BNTNews July box!

Ba-dum, I’ll be reviewing 3CE WHITE MILK PACK TO FOAM!

So who doesn’t like a clay mask that foams? IM THINKING NO ONE!!!

It’s a pretty awesome concept, a product that has 3 functions. You can use it as a cleanser, a clay mask or just a nose mask!

But I pretty much use the clay mask function exclusively only because I love it so much.

It’s a super light clay masks that dries in 5-10 minutes and then lathers up into a foam when you’re washing it off.

So I has the soft essentials of a clay mask but also the best part of any cleanser: the foaming. So it’s basically the perfect clay mask for me.

Did I mention it was a super, super soft product. It feels like a soft putty and just spreads all over your face. It smells light.

It could be a cloud. Who’s to say it isn’t?

LET IT FOAM!

It’s just a nice mask.

And it definitely felt like a nice mask to just let it absorb the impurities in my face.

I’d definitely be purchasing it once I finish this. SOON!

I rate this a 9/10. Super enjoyable mask.

BNTgirl x MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam + Cloud Embo Massage Brush

Good day everyone!

Today I’ll be reviewing something everyone loves; a good foaming cleanser. Foaming is key.

I’ll be reviewing MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam + Cloud Embo Massage Brush.

It comes in a beautiful blue gel like liquid and it turns into some nice cleanser foam with a little bit of elbow grease and water!

Although I saw elbow grease I just mean I have really weak arms, but once you get some momentum going you can definitely get some nice thick foam onto your face!

The brush itself is superrrrrrr soft, unbelievably soft. Usually face brushes have harder or rougher scrubs for a mini exfoliating action but only in the center of the flower massage brush is only slightly harder.

So I just usually add a pump onto my hand and spread it evenly around my face first. Once I have a nice layer on, I dip my brush into water and in circular motions apply pressure onto my face with the brush.

(Thin layer on)

As a gel cleanser it works well if you use it as a two part cleansing routine, which means you’ll need another deep cleanser to probably remove more heavy duty make up.

But there are definitely some positives to the cleanser itself.

I really appreciate the vitamin cleanser, and the mini balls of vitamins that burst, it definitely makes my face feel rejuvenated and fresh.

And I especially love the slight citrus smell, I think I’d buy anything with a citrus smell. One of my favorite scents is the zest of a lemon.

I tested it out for 2+ weeks and it didn’t break me out and kept my skin looking fresh the entire time.

If you’re looking to try a new *soft* cleanser brush I’d definitely recommend the brush. Such a keeper.

Overall I’d give the product a 7/10.

I love the brush, but I’m not a super fan that it didn’t remove my waterproof make up. But it did remove all my foundation and base make up!

BNTgirl x CATALINA GEO Color Capsule Make Up Base

Good evening!

So if you follow my blog, you’ll see that the title of my review today is very similar, and that’s because I’m again reviewing Catalina Geo’s Color Capsule Make Up Base!

But today instead of a green base, that reduces redness, I got a pink base which should make my skin more youthful!

Of course, like always I like to gauge it’s difference in color and texture, as a color difference could also mean a texture difference of the make up base. But nope, this time the base kept the same consistency of the green base I had gotten earlier, which smoothed out nicely once applied.

Once applied the base gives of a soft pale shimmer and makes me sparkle a little bit more than usual. A nice dewy finished!
I tested it all day while I was out, and it made sure my HERA UV mist cushion BB cream stayed on all day!

I was impressed.

It stayed on all day and made sure my face didn’t get too oily or made my make up runny. A true base.

I won’t lie, I liked this one better than the green one I reviewed previously probably because I didn’t have skin redness problems. But this one definitely enhanced my skin.

So overall I found that since the capsule base comes with different colors, the one that works best for you might not be the one that worked best for me.

Overall I rate this one a 8/10.

It’s a very solid primer, but if you’re not in the market for a Korean specific primer, I think the American ones might be easier to get or have the same price range. But it’s still a solid primer for what it is and what it does!

BNTgirl x MAXCLINIC Miraclinic Ampoule Dressing/Contouring Object

Honestly, this has been one of the most fun thing to test and review in a while. So I’m going to go straight into it.

Today I’ll be reviewing MAXCLINIC’s Miraclinic Ampoule Dressing/Contouring Object.

Its a double layer face mask, the bottom being a regular face mask and the top, a hardening mask layer.

It comes in a seriously cool package, each set containing 4 masks.

So the cool part about this mask is that it solidifies on your face, sort of like paper mache (all you kids from Canada will know). Or like those instant casts, you can just feel it go from dry paper -> wet paper -> dry paper again.

And it comes out in the shape of your face!

Of course there are benefits to this mask, like every mask. This one advertises a super lifting property, basically firming your skin right up and more!

Sorry about the wall of images about to come. But the images basically sum up my experience. It was fun, it took 35 minutes, and in the end I definitely felt like my jaw line was slimmer and my face felt tight.

First of course, I put on the mask on some clean skin.

The mask was a bit big so I had to fold the nose part up in order to breathe, which was a slight bummer, but nothing really, since I only had to fold the nose part up.

Next was the dry layer.

So the instructions said to press the dry second layer onto the wet layer in order to get the dry layer wet. Once I had thoroughly made sure the mask was set,I then waited 30 minutes and definitely felt the mask harden.

After 30 minutes it was time to take the mask off!

It definitely felt cool to take off a solid mask of your face.

And I think my face definitely looks slimmer and less red.

I definitely feel that I had a positive experience with this mask, although I know some of my other BNTgirl-mates haven’t had the same experience. But the weather, and humidity could definitely affect the ability of the second layer to reharden!

Overall I found this to be a fun, and good mask!

I rating this a 9/10. It showed positive results and it was fun! Just bummed that the set only has 4!

But you can get it here for $12.

BNTgirl x Hwajin Cosmetics Homme Terrior (All-in-one)

Welcome to part 2 of the Hwajin Cosmetic set I got, moisturizer time!

Moisturize me. MOISTURE!

I’ll be reviewing Hwajin Cosmetic’s Homme Terrior All in One .

Honestly, at this point, I wish they marketed some women’s stuff to be like men’s. No nonsense, ALL IN ONE!

We’ve all seen those 5-219381 step routines, which I think are ridiculous for a student or anyone who can’t afford to spend 30-60 minutes on a skincare routine. This is just – bam, put on, done!

Welcome to the one step wonder for men, but I will use, because I’m lazy and this is great.

The packaging, feels like a solid men’s cologne; heavy, and dark. It’s a sexy sleek flask like looking thing, and it carries well.

The scent itself might be a bit off putting for women, since it’s a “manlier” scent, definitely smells like a musky, nature, wood kind of scent/vibe.

It works well as a moisturizer and more, and I find that it is a routine in one step. My face doesn’t feel dry, and stays moisturized all through the night.

But whatever, I can smell like a man cause who cares when I’ll be using it in my night routine, jk, it’s no longer a routine just a one shop does all.

I’m a bit envious that males are offered a convenient, just slather it on method, and I hope Korean cosmetic companies start to maybe start offering such products for women too.

But until then, I’ll be using this.

10/10 if I were a guy 9/10 for me because it has a lingering scent. I’m blending in with the boys now.

BNTgirl x Hwajin Cosmetics Homme Terrior Dynamic BB Cream

So I was give a product pour homme (for men, en français).

Like the rest of the BNTgirls we either had a boyfriend or yourself, today I opted for myself (all by myselfffffffff~).

I’ll be reviewing Hwajin Cosmetic’s Homme Terrior Dynamic BB cream. [For men.]

The BB cream I got came in a set, and I’ll be reviewing the BB cream first then the All in One cream/moisturizer.

It comes in a pretty sleek, dark, and “manly” packaging.

That looks even better inside.

I feel like they should sell women BB creams like this, 2 in 1 set, moisturizers and BB cream together. The killer combo.

Honestly, I did test it on my male friends, who are Caucasian (white) and it was either too pale for them or it made them look weirdly poreless, so I didn’t feature them in the post.

BUT if you are a pale man, and do want to look poreless. THEN THIS IS THE PRODUCT FOR YOU!

Before:

After:

As you can see it’s a tad a shade dark for me (I did blend it out to my neck to match), but you can definitely see it’s a solid BB cream, good coverage and matte finish. This could be a nice summer foundation/BB cream for me.

It’s a foundation that’s pretty long lasting as well.

Check me out here, about 10 hours later. Sorry I look awkward, cause I felt awkward. I woke up after a late afternoon nap and then went to dinner with friends.

Overall, I think if you’re a man with around shade 23 skin tone, this would be good for you.

9/10. Nice BB cream.

BNTgirl x Nature Republic Soothing & Moisture ALOE VERA

Time sure flies when you’re having fun.

One of the first products ever given to me by BNTnews for the BNTgirls was the Comelyco Aloe, which you can read here. Now we’ve come full circle, two years later and I’m reviewing what may be the OG (original) aloe.

From Nature Republic, today I be reviewing their Soothing & Moisture ALOE VERA 92% Soothing Gel.

Ba-bam! I think it’s one of Nature Republic’s most quintessential products. It’s maybe what everyone associates it to at least. For around $5 USD there’s not much that can be it in price v. quality v. quantity. I still have about a quarter of the tub of the first aloe gel BNTnews gave me. So $5 for good times, you can’t beat that price.

Of course there’ll be differences, the most major of the two would be that Nature Republic’s features 3% less aloe, and I think that may be a good thing. The comelyco one was a bit too gel like and wouldn’t absorb into my skin properly, but I definitely felt like the Nature Republic one did.

Now the acne test, good news guys I actually had a minor hormonal break out to truly test this product last week. I’m weak especially on my forehead and my chin.

So the before:

The after (about 15 hours into viciously applying it onto my chin):

As you can see from the images, the redness definitely toned down A LOT. And overall it just calmed the whole problem area down.

I really like aloe, it’s a awesome gift from nature (heh, nature republic) and it’s yummy and it’s awesome for treating acne and sunburns.

So all in all, I definitely think everyone should just have a tub at home.

It’s $7 of happiness guys, totally worth.

You can get it for $7 and free 2 day shipping with prime here

10/10
