VOV All Night Eyeliner

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner! Yes! It's time to bring out the major sweat and waterproof eyeliners! This is VOV All Night Twinkling Eyeliner and my very first purchase from Gmarket*. I don't really enjoy using liquid eyeliner because it just always reminds me of those girls back in highschool with the extreme black lined panda eyes. It's like to them, the more black around the eyes, the better. So I've pretty much stayed away from the liquid ones just to opt for a more natural look. However, recently I found that I just wanted to try it for dramatic but downplayed look. That probably doesn't make sense but yeah, I just had to buy some eyeliner! The one I bought was T3 which is jet black with glitter. It's probably the best for every day since the others are gold or silver. I would probably not go for these colours but the eyeliner is specifically for clubbing/partying so I figured it would just be super waterproof.


Now my eyelining is not great but I have to say I really like the effect of the eyeliner on the lids. The glitter is there but it's not too obvious. It really reminds me of the KATE eyeliner with the glitter black version. As for sweat and waterproof, it's not really. The eyeliner sort of starts to fade if you splash some water on it. It washes easily off with some soapy water but it's incredibly smudge proof! You could rub your eyes real bad and it will not budge one bit. I guess there is no eyeliner that is actually sweat or waterproof. This one is working for me(for now) because it was fairly cheap and quite pretty.

Pros: Super smudge proof! Subtle glitter, fairly cheap, easy off.
Cons: Not sweat or water proof.

*Aside from this review, I have conclusion that Gmarket is really great! Shipping costs isn't great but all online shops are the pretty much the same. I like that Gmarket has so many pictures on the items listed so you know what you're really dealing with and everything is fairly priced. The site is also very straight-forward too! I will definitely order from Gmarket again!

T'ESTIMO Shining Eyeliner

Holidays are here and everything's sparkly! Actually it's not really over here in Canada. It's pretty gloom and there's not much snow either. I wonder if there will be a white Christmas this year or not. It's a real hate/love relationship with snow. I miss it when it's not here and when it is, I really want it to go away. I'm missing it right now. Snow or no snow there are many festivities going on! Lots of parties and celebrations to go to! Unfortunately, this year I am not attending anything because I'm scheduled to work on the night of Christmas in preparation for Boxing Day. It sucks but someone's going to have to do it right? Anyways, today I will be bringing back a discontinued item that I've been constantly using and talking about. It's actually not from a winter collection but I think the end result is very suitable for sparkly party eyes. This is the long-gone-and-missed T'ESTIMO
Shining Eyeliner.


It is a wet shiny eyeliner that goes on in one stroke. I got BR-27 which seems to look like a deep cocoa brown judging the tube but when used, it comes out a nice reddish mahogany brown. Which is why it's so perfect for winter! Nice warm colours that just warm your eyes up! The only reason why I keep bringing this eyeliner up, is because of how much I love formula. It does smudge a bit but because the tube is easily accessible, touching up is very easy. The sparkles aren't very obvious but it's a very cute way to dazzle up your eyes up without going too overboard. And the application is so easy! It's like a thin paint brush which can never be too hard for anyone. It's easy and pretty but discontinued. There may not be any newer versions of these coming out anymore but I see many old ones floating around the net. So it's not entirely discontinued. I would grab it, if you'd like to try a subtle shimmery eyeliner for this holiday!

Pros: Subtle shimmer, wet eyeliner, easy application
Cons: Smudges a little, discontinued

KATE Gel Eyeliner

KATE is a very similar brand to MAJOLICA MAJORCA. It is also a drugstore line underneath a super company named Kanebo(like Shiseido). Kate is known for it's edgy and darker side featuring dark packaging and daring bold colours. It's slogan is "No more rules" and their face for the line is Mika Nakashima, who is also known for her edgy looks.


KATE Gel Eyeliner is by far my most loved ones out of all the eyeliners I have! Best formula and very long lasting! It's a similar cheaper version of the Bobbi Brown one. It comes in 4 colours: black(BK-1), black with shimmer(BK-2), brown(BR-1) and purple (PU-1). Along with the pot of gel liner comes a brush that was made perfectly for the product.

I bought both normal black(BK-1) and the black with shimmer(BK-2). I initially fell in love with the black-shimmer because it's rare to find one in gel form. But I quickly also fell in love with the normal black because after using for a few times, I just loved the formula and the look. It's really bold and easy to use too. The shimmer one is really nice but the sparkles aren't really there. I would definitely try this gel eyeliner because of it's price and quality!
