Etude House: Play 101 Pencils

Hello,

Today, I would like to share swatches for some Play 101 pencils that I owned. 

When the play 101 pencil line was first launched, I was so stoked and can't wait to lay hands on them.

I first purchased #1 which is a pure black and #49 which is a dark brown.

As a single eye + hooded lid human being, I have high requirements for eyeliner. They need to be rub resistant and waterproof.

#1 and #49 managed to live up to that and I was blown away. Downwards spiral for my wallet and *bam* I started to buy more and more and more. 

I saw videos of Pony (beauty YouTuber) using them as eyeshadows. To be honest, it's really difficult cos these pencils dries up so fast. When you try to blend them out, it's such a chore and I am worried about all that tugging.

Tried using them on my lips too and they are v drying. So I don't encourage that too.

Also note that, different pencil has different consistency.

#13,#19,#20,#36,#47: Creamy, smooth texture

#1,#2,#4,#5,#6,#14,#49: Started out as smooth texture but as time past, they get less creamy and more dry. 

I suggest for staple colour like black or brown, just buy 1 and use them up before getting another. Cos mine is slightly dry now, drawing a simple liner will be reaching "a tug o war stage" soon.

The play 101 pencil line is affordable and of great quality. Their colour range is getting bigger as well. 

Definitely, worth a try!

P.S: I had introduced this pencil to my friends and they love it. But, please note that once they dried up, it's hard to spread/draw.

Bella Brush: 24 Piece Set

Hello~

Last year, while surfing Singsale.com , I chanced upon a deal on Bella Brushes.

The 32 piece set was out of stock so I went for the 24 Piece Set instead.

When I receive the parcel, I wasn't impressed by the packaging.

The image on the box looks cheap.

Opening the box, leads to a makeup pouch.

The material feels like a combination of plastic and fake leather.

It doesn't stink though. 

However. when I opened the pouch, I am so happy!

Everything arrived intact.

 No missing brush. No broken brushes.

YAY~~

What impressed me was the quality of these brushes.

They are so soft. Omg those hairs as I ruffled my fingers through them.

I got to confessed. I would not stop touching them.

They are so nice to touch. I can't stop.

Do note that, this set is a mixture of natural hair and synthetic hair.

More info can be found here

However, when I wash these brushes, I notice there's a slight fall out of hairs from foundation brush, blush brush and the powder brush.

Was slightly turned off considering they are expensive without the deal!?!?!

Nevertheless, these brushes are of decent quality. 

The eyeshadow brushes feels soft to the eyelid, grabs good amount of eyeshadow and deposit nicely onto my eyelids.

Bella Brushes even provide a pamphlet that shows you what are the brushes inside the set.

I really appreciate this as this is extremely useful.

My New love

Hello~

It's been a while since I've blogged.

Rest assured that I 'm still loving BigBang and TOP.

However, other than BigBang. I had a new favourite which is......MAKEUP <3 p="">
So I decided to jot down my buys and reviews.

BIG BANG LIGHTSTICK VER 3

HELLO EVERYBODY!! 

Decided to blog about my "new" lightstick as I am clearing my pictures.

Bought and took these pictures super duper long ago. LOL

And yes, if you are wondering, this is my second bb lightstick.

Went ahead to get this as I was not happy with ver2 lightstick.

It's too huge and there's no strap for me to hook etc etc

For those who are considering if they should get another lightstick.

My advise is YES!!

(provided you are not in debt or spending your parents' money unnecessarily lol)

LET THE PICTURES DO THE TALKING ((:

*da dang*

It comes in this huge circular box.

very very very pretty ((:

*bong*

Here comes the beautiful lightstick with strap.

*ding ding*

Breathtaking yellow light shining through the crown

If you don't own an official crown light stick, GET YOURS NOW!

It definitely will not disappoint you and add on to your V.I.P colour.
