Quick Review: Holika Holika Waterdrop Tint Stick

There is no doubt that Koreans have some of the best lip tints. As a lip tint lover, I couldn’t resist trying every brand that offers one. This time my new go-to lip tint is from Holika Holika. I bought it last month and it’s been my every day tint since then.

I like my lip tint natural and long lasting, although Holika Holika Waterdrop Tint Stick lacks the latter, I still can’t help but love it. Let me tell you why:

• This tint glides on very smoothly on the lips; it’s almost watery (in consistency).

• The moisturizing power is very impressive. It isn’t called “Waterdrop” for nothing.

• Simple yet there’s something cute with the packaging. The cap has some kind of a lock too, so it won’t come off easily.

• The color, although subtle, still looks lovely and natural.

• It has a fruity scent, but not overwhelming.

• Affordable (Php295.00)

At first I was a little disappointed with the color payoff of this tint because it looks orange than red. But then again, I learned to love it. After all, most of the lip tints from Korea are like this. I just have one problem with this tint – it takes a minute or two to be fully dry and when it’s not dry, it transfers. Other than that, this tint is a nice catch. 

What about you? What's your go-to lip product?

Review: Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot Mask Sheet

Our feet need TLC too. While we are busy taking care of your body and face, sometimes, we unconsciously disregarded our feet. Maybe not all of us do, but I often did. Especially when buying products for my vanity needs. A month ago, I changed my ways. I bought a couple of foot lotion, scrub, and this from Holika Holika – the Baby Silky Foot Mask Sheet.

Initially, I thought that Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot Mask Sheet is a skin-peeling type, but it turns out that it isn’t. I was disappointed, yes, except I did not really read the label. Boo! That is why I want to inform you beforehand that I don’t have an after photo as I was waiting for my feet to peel – that didn’t happen because I bought the wrong foot mask sheet. Anyway, I still wanted to share my experience using this foot mask. 

Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot Mask Sheet comes with a pair of white-plastic-socks type. You don’t have to cut anything, simply tear the plastic apart, and then wear it like a sock. Don’t worry; the plastic socks are kind of sturdy so it won’t break even if you are wearing it while walking around the house.

There’s a lot of moisturizer inside; I wore mine for about an hour that night and was surprised to see the next day that there’s still some left. Of course, you can’t use that anymore. LOL

Afterwards, my feet feel soft and smooth. I have calluses all over my feet (it’s gross, I know) and I noticed that they softened a bit. The calluses are still there, but you’ll know if there are any changes. The softness remained for 1 and a half day, after that my feet came back from its former situation – calluses everywhere.

I don’t recommend this product if you have thick calluses like me. Maybe it’ll work for those who have less callus problem with their feet. But if you’ll ask me, this foot mask is not enough, maybe if I’ll use a scrub/peeling foot products first and then this Baby Silky Foot Mask Sheet after, it would probably work!

Review: Holika Holika Pore Sea Stem Mineral Freshener

Hello dollies, how was your day? Agghh I've been really busy lately because of all those events I can't missed.And today I'm going to review Holika Holika Pore Sea Stem Mineral Freshener. This product was sent to me for review purposes by KOREADEPART, thank you so much for letting me try the product.

So this is a new product from Pore Sea Stem line from Holika Holika, HOLIKA HOLIKA Pore Sea Stem Mineral Freshener, which can used as toner and mist according to my research.

PRICE: USD $ 12.53
WHERE to BUY: KOREADEPART
NET WT: 150mL

ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
Includes deep sea water extracted from corals and sea stem complex
Provides a refreshing feeling for pores
Protects and clears skin texture
Removes residues from pores to provide freshness

HOW to USE:
Pour the right amount on cotton and straighten out your skin texture. You can also spray the product like a mist. Hold 20~30cm away from your face, and gently spray over the face with your eyes closed.

The Holika Holika Pore Sea Stem uses coral reefs extract which has a natural compound that acts as a sunscreen. It protects the skin from the heat of the sun by lowering skin temperature as heat of the sun can enlarge pores ( higher sebum secretion ) and damage skin too! Not only that, it also helps balances the sebum and moisture content of the skin and contains abundance of minerals beneficial for the skin.
On top of that, it contains a deep sea water which are rich in minerals to deeply hydrate the skin.

PACKAGING BOX:

THE PRODUCT ITSELF:

Unlike other toners this one is a little creamy but not that creamy just to the point that it's kinda serum to me. I was thinking to do a gif for you to see how watery it is just like what Lina did to her lioele seaweed mist review but I didn't have time to. Aren't toners supposed to have a watery consistency? Anyway just refer to the cotton photo to see what I mean. BTW, thanks to my cousin for being my hand model.

MY THOUGHTS:
I am using this product for almost 2 weeks now as a toner and I noticed a small improvement on my skin. My pores are less visible now and my oiliness did lessen too but just a little. This is also my first time encountering a toner in spray container, maybe because it can also use as a mist. But to tell you the truth i still don't use it as a mist, why? duh~ it has a alcohol ingredient so the scent is really overpowering and sometimes hurt my nose. And because it is alcoholy, it will dry out your zits, quick. Has a smooth after effect on the face which I so LOVE about this product.

MY SWEET RATINGS:
•CLEANSING:
•SCENT:
•SEBUM CONTROL:
•PORE MINIMIZING:
•OVERALL RATING:
