REVIEW: MAX Factor Mastertouch Under-Eye Concealer

Hello! I'm back with new review, which is from my Mom's old favorite brand and my current favorite brand for make up; MAX Factor. Yep, my mom has been telling me about this brand for years, and I'm surprised that this brand finally came again few years ago. From what my mom said, MAX Factor is famous for its long-lasting feature in every product. I never thought that the price is really interesting, too! Haha. I've tried the False Effect Mascara in Fusion (which is the first mascara that works fine with my sensitive eyelashes), and yes, it brought me to buy this concealer. I bought this concealer in Ivory 303, the beauty adviser said that it's the closest to my skin tone. It's unfortunate that this concealer only has three shades here. 

hello!

Make Up For Ever Aqua Shadow

Hi! It's been a while since I updated my blog. Well, I guess I am enjoying my vacation too much. I came back to my hometown; Palembang, and has been strolling around for around two weeks for celebrating Idul Fitri with my family. 

Last week, I came to one of my friends' house; Nana's. Every time I come to her house she always show me her new make up items and let me try them, see, how kind! Hehe, this time she let me try her new Make up For Ever Aqua Shadow in Pearly Copper 22E. Actually, I also tried Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes 0L (Mat Black), but I guess I will share it later.

22E Pearly Copper is a warm coppery brown with a subtly metallic finish

Make Up For Ever Aqua Shadow seems to fill a thin lines between the eyeliner and cream shadow, it is a chubby pencils but can cover more areas in your eyes than eyeliner. I find that the formula of Aqua Shadow is less creamy than any other pencil eye shadow and it's also easy to be blended.

The Aqua Eyes Eye Shadow glides on easy but not as slippery as other eye pencils I've ever tried on. From what I've read on the other beauty blog and online review, it is probably because of the high wax content which keep your eye shadow long-lasting and water-proof. 

Still I find drawback of this product as it's hard to blend with your fingers or brushes.

After wearing this for a few hours (about 6 hours), I love that it last before some creasing! I didn't use any eye primer though. What I love the most is the creasing. The creasing is unlike any other eye product (since I have oily eye lid), it's more like the color was still there, only weakened. 

 Here is the comparison of it right after the application, 4 hours later, and 6 hours later on the back of my hand. The Aqua Eyes was also being swatched next to Aqua Shadow.

Well, overall I can say that I love this product. This will be perfect for on-the-go since the application is easy. The only thing that I hate about this product is its price :p It will cost around Rp 250.000,00 (as my friend told me) for a pencil. But I guess that's the price for quality. Hehe.

Etude House Collagen Moistfull Firming Eye Cream

Hi!
I'm back with beauty sample review again this time. In this post I'll review an eye cream from Etude House called Collagen Moistfull Firming Eye Cream. As you know this eye cream is part of Etude House's Collagen Moistfull series.

Well, what is collagen?
Collagen is one of the most plentiful proteins present in the bodies of mammals, including us, humans. In fact, it makes up about 25 percent of the total amount of proteins in the body. Some people even refer to collagen as the glue that holds the body together. Without it, the body would, quite literally, fall apart.

Basically, it gives body tissues form and provides firmness and strength.

So, based on those previous facts we should learn that collagen is essential for our skin, right? That assumption then leads me to this trial. Hohoho. Since I have problem with my dark circles and eye-bags, so I choose this sample for trial.

So, I used this eye cream twice a day; day before I started my activity and at night before sleep. I also applied it on my upper eye and under eye. I used a small amount of it (size of mung bean for each eye) as I learn about it from Beauty Advisers in the Department Stores that I visited sometimes.

The texture is liquid-like. It's not oily, though. And when you apply it, there will be some kind of soothing feeling on your eye. But it's not mint-like feeling. It's relaxing.

sorry for the blurness ~_~

So, I've used this eye cream for a month (which spent 5 sachets of sample) and I can say that it's HORRIBLE.

Why?

Because I always have to wake up with so many eye-debris (yuck!). I've stopped using it now and I never experience that horrible morning anymore. I guess the eye-debris created from the cream since it has firming effect. If you try using it, the cream will stiffen quickly to tighten the eye-bags but it ended up making my eye full of debris -_- (it's crystallized) Why is it matter? Because it's hard to remove and my eyes ended up scratched because I rub it in order to remove the debris.

Moreover, by using it for around a month, it doesn't do anything to my eye-bags. o_0

In conclusion...

(+) I love the texture

(+) It's by far the cheapest eye-cream (even the full size)

(-) Do nothing to my eye-bags

(-) Create eye-debris to its residue in the morning after

REPURCHASE? NO.

Any suggestion for eye cream for me? :(
