BNTgirl x BEIGE CHUU HARD FINISH EYE BROW

Nothing gets me in the world like good eyebrow products.

So today I’m pretty excited to review; BEIGE CHUU HARD FINISH EYE BROW.


I always wanted to try the shisedo one, but I never got the chance after Anastasia brow wiz changed the world, and then the promade gel.

I got the shade dark brown.

It’s a hard brow product so it abheres to the oils on your face so it’ll last all day and night, and perhaps forever. That’s awesome. 

While testing it for the month, some days I was so impressed with the longevity in Californian heat that I just took a picture of my brows. WHEN I WAS DRUNK.

YEAH! I liked it that much.


It’s a fantastic brow product if you want to insure you’ll still have brows after crazy water rides in Universal Studios Hollywood, or anything. I think I truly tested it in California.

It totally rised above any challenges I threw at it. My brows lasted 16+ hours and it never smudged off.

Sometimes I have issues with the Anastasia products where water will melt it off my face. But BEIGE’s hard brow pencil definitely stuck on.

Totally awesome.

Light application.


Harder application with a full face (surviving weather in Atlanta, Georgia):


You can apply as much or as little as you want. I love that you can control how much you use.

It’s a fantastic brow product that I’ll definitely use up until it stubs out.

Can’t wait to finish it.

Rating this a 10/10. It’s a keeper, it’s very portable and very easy to use.

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.

SAMSUNG CSC

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!

SAMSUNG CSC

SAMSUNG CSC

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.

SAMSUNG CSC

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 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.

SAMSUNG CSC

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.

BNTgirls x KICHO SHEEP OIL CREAM

The luxury of sheep oil.

I always knew sheep skin fancy, so I got myself one in Poland, and I like eating lamb. But sheep oil cream was a new one for me. I guess it only makes sense to use the entire sheep though!

Today I’ll be reviewing KICHO SHEEP OIL CREAM.

KICHO is a new brand for me to be reviewing but it seems like they’re coming to New York via Whole Foods! The place that gives you organic produce will give you another organic-ish produce, the KICHO Sheep Oil Cream!

The cream is made from pure lanolin extracted from New
Zealand sheep skin, i.e the wool, also featured in the photos. So fluffy! So plush!

Lanolin  + 8 Berry cream is said to be:
moisturizing, whitening, anti-oxidizing.

SAMSUNG CSC

First thing you notice is the BEAUTIFUL packaging of the cream, it’s so pretty. And the container for the cream is made of solid glass. I love the heavy feel of creams, it just feels less cheap.

CREAM3

When you open it, you see that the lovely pattern of flowers continue, I love how cohesive the packaging is. It’s just so put together, the flower pattern inside and outside.

photo_2016-03-22_20-03-55

Of course you’d want to see the cream on my face. It’s quite moisturizing and a tad oily, so I only use it as my night cream. But the cream lasts throughout the dry winter-spring nights and leave my skin rejuvenated when I wake up.

photo_2016-03-23_08-06-12

It’s a nice heavy cream, especially for the night routine. It smells a bit lemon-y, which I found a bit odd, but not off putting.

Overall I found this to be a super solid cream, very comparative to the horse creams I was using before it, and I’ve replaced them with this cream instead.

I’ll be giving this a 9/10. Very good cream.

You can pick up one if you’re in New York City, at the Time Warner Whole Foods.

Otherwise you can check it out here on their site.

BNTgirls x NATURE REPUBLIC Ginseng Royal Silk Gold Hydrogel Mask

MASK DREAMS SUCCESS!

Lately I’ve been heavily breaking out on my face, I should say that the break outs for me are relatively mild usually, maybe one or two pimples. But recently I’ve been getting clusters of them. CLUSTERS!

So I’ve pulled out all my masks and I’ve been doing treatments ON THE DAILY. Okay, maybe not daily, I don’t have time for that. Perhaps, every other day?

So needlessly to say, my face was ready to embrace NATURE REPUBLIC’s Ginseng Royal Silk Gold Hydrogel Mask. 

MASK1

The mask comes in a fancy packaging, much like the cream that I previously reviewed. It even has the same scent as the cream!

I would describe this mask as a everything mask, because it seems to be targeting…everything. It has all the right ingredients to make a power puff girl, sugar, spice and everything nice.

Or:

Pure (99%) gold

Six-year-old red ginseng

Royal jelly collected from Jiri Mountain

Amino acid extracted from golden silkworms

Yeah know, the ingredients to make a girl lovely again.

Before:

beforemask

I’ve got redness all over my face, and I’m trying to hide my chinples(chin pimples) with the mask, haha the shame. My skin is just sadness.

So the directions say to leave it on for 20-40minutes, I always do the max, for maximum effectiveness, 40 minutes! So basically 40 minutes of selfies.

It’s hard to take a cute selfie looking ugly, but regardless of the gold bling bling mask, the outcome was fantastic.

aftermask

40 minutes later, and I’m looking definitely more than 40% happier, my chinples have seemingly faded a lot and the overall redness in my face decreased significantly.

I can only recommend this since it worked out so well for me.

However it comes with a pretty heft price tag.

You can buy 6 masks for $47 here.on amazon.

But if you can do some waiting it’s only around $4-7 on korean sites.

BNTnews x HP&C THELAVICOS Enzyme Washing Powder

Sensitive skin. Balanced pH. Keywords!

All the things I want in a cleanser and more.

Today I’ll be reviewing a product that really impressed me this month from BNTnews, THELAVICOS Enzyme Washing Powder.

Sensitive skin? Worried about that winter dryness? WANT A NEW CLEANSER? Here we go.

It’s a non-irritating washing powder that builds up into a foam and takes off even the most waterproof make up. It’s a pretty kick ass cleanser. I’m honestly the most surprised about how much I loved this washing powder.

All you need to do is put a tsp of it into your palm and just a little bit of water and it’ll foam up. You can just massage it into your face and all your worries disappear. And by worries I mean make up. It just removes all and everything from your face, but gently!

Honestly, these not much to say. You can see the results above, and pictures speak a thousand words. It just completely annihilates all make up, there were nor survivors of make up residue. I’m clean.

It’s a fantastic face cleanser and I would whole heartedly recommend it to everyone.

I’m rating this a 10/10.

Unfortunately for you all, it’s currently not on sale yet, I think I was given a trial product. But when it is…I’ll link it ASAP!

BNTgirl x STYLENANDA 3CE Matte Lip Color #907 Old Dress

MLBB. You may have heard this term before from other bloggers, or instagrammers, it stands for My Lips But Better. I think I’ve found mine.

Lately, trending lip colors have been “brick” colors or MLBBs which enhance or look like natural lip colors. So today I’ll be reviewing what I think is my perfect MLBB.

It works both in day and night situations, and just perfectly flatters my lip color.

I’ll be reviewing STYLENANDA 3CE Matte Lip Color (Shade: #907 Old Dress).

3ce10

When I put it on for the first time, I noticed how strikingly similar it was to my actual lip color, but slight darker and it was love at first sight. It was my lips but darker, and matte. It was love.

So first I’ll showcase my natural lips (sorry the photo is a bit blurred).

And after:

ENHANCE LIPS ENHANCE!

It a nice mauve color, like a brick, and it creates a nice matte finish that lasts all day.

The color worked well when I had heavy night make up in Las Vegas and lighter day make up when I went to a Vineyard in Temacula. It made the perfect transition day to night lip color, make it my favorite lipstick to grab  for in my bag. I knew it always worked well.

photo_2016-01-22_17-56-31

photo_2016-01-22_21-51-42

It’s seriously has been my favorite lippie to just wear any time of the day and everyday. It has been my staple and livelihood.

Like the other 3CE lipstick I reviewed I of course like this one just as much if not more!

The perfect lip shade for everyday!

You can get it here for $19.

I give this product a 10/10. I’m going to wear it till it’s gone.
