Etude House Proof 10 Aqua Tint in 01

I was so excited when I saw this lip tint because it's waterproof. Who wouldn't want for their lip tint to be long lasting, right?! I got this together with the Proof 10 Auto Pencil Eyeliner which is also supposedly a waterproof product. Just click the link to check out my review about it. I got this from Etude House for P328 with 12g of product.

Etude House Proof 10 Aqua Tint in 01 Swatch

The shade I got was the pink red tint since I already have my Tony Moly tint in red. There was another shade available in 02 red orange. It's water base and is said to be waterproof which got me too excited about it. You can also use this as a cheek tint if you want to and comes with a sponge tip applicator like some of their lip products.

As you can see on the photo, it provides a natural pink tint and doesn't look dry. It feels light on the lips and very comfortable to wear. You can wear this alone or top it off with a lip gloss or under a lipstick to add more intensity to your lip color.

This isn't as pigmented as I wanted it to be and not as long staying. You have to slowly build it up if you want more color. I had to swatch it 5 times for the tint to really pick up because it's very sheer. As a waterproof product I expected stay longer but it gets easily removed. For me it's another fail product from their Proof 10 line. 

PROS:

Light on the lips

Looks natural 

Non-drying

Can be worn alone

CONS:

Easily removed

Very sheer

Overall I still love this tint for everyday use. It's a great product for teens because the color is not too intense.

My verdict: 3.5 STARS

Would I repurchase: Yes, will surely try the red shade

Would I recommend it? I would to those who wants a light/natural tint 

Review: Maybelline XXL Curl Power Mascara

I have used this product for 2 weeks now and I have to say that it's one of the mascaras that I can really depend on. It's a curl + volume + length microfiber washable mascara in black (also available in waterproof). It claims to be ophthalmologist tested and contact lens safe. 

Base Coat

Top Coat

It's a 2 step mascara which starts with the base coat to curl the lashes and a black top coat which  provides 12-hour hold. For best results, apply the base coat evenly and add the top coat before it dries up to prevent clumping of the lashes. You can build the it up for a more defined and dramatic eyes. The brush helps to evenly coat the lashes and spread them out for a fuller look. I applied 3 coats on this photo to add more volume to my lashes. 

After 6 hours

The curl was still in place when I got home after 6hrs and it didn't smudge or flake. You can seldom find a washable mascara that holds a curl for a long time so I'm really impressed with this product. Cleaning is really very easy using olive oil as a makeup remover. It's a perfect mascara if you are looking for a product to lengthen, volumize, and curl your lashes for long hours. Although the wand is really short so it's not very easy to work with. I poke my eyes a few times using this but I'm now more careful :D.

PROS:

Base Coat is moisturizing

Easy to remove

Doesn't flake, smudge, or clump

No strong odor

Easy on the eyes

Holds a curl for long hours

CONS:

The brush wand was so short making the application a challenge

My verdict: 4.8 STARS

Would I repurchase? Yes

Would I recommend? Yes

Overall I love this mascara and it's one of my favorites. The 2 step application takes time though so it's not a mascara that I would grab for when I am pressed for time.
