Etude House Brush Shower Cleaner Review

Hey all!


Yeah I know. This is reallyyyyyy late!
And I'm still awake lol
So,yeah,since the internet is free at this time why not post on my blog? I'm feeling better already!
So,I'm going to post a brush cleaner /wut
Yeah,you might check that I NEVER post any review of brush thingy. So I do have brushes! I want to post my massive haul from February but haven't post until now *cries*
Now I'm thinking this is the right time to post,...BUT right now (I mean these past few days) I have changed my memory card (in my phone) with new one (to transfer data) thought that after that I'll insert my old MC.Now I have moved my memory card ,insert it into my tablet (I'm posting with my tablet these past few post /eh) but I haven't insert my old MC to my phone,thus makes my phone MC-less *wth*. And it's really late,I'm quite lazy to go downstairs and take my MC :/
So,...yeah...the massive haul post is still pending *sobs* and now....let's get back to the main topic!
Etude House Brush Shower Cleaner!
When I got my brush set,I don't have any brush cleaner.So I purchased a baby shampoo that makes my mom asked me why I I want to buy it ,and tbh I purchased my brush set without her knowing anything.I'm sure she'll be very angry if she knows. But since she kept telling me to put back that shampoo I blabbed out saying it's to clean my brush!But I managed to fool her said it's only one brush ,and whatever the reason my mom said : "you don't need any shampoo to wash it.you can just wash it with water" (she's really out to dated,old fashioned,less knowledge about makeup thingy). Pissed me off,I said I'll just purchase it with my money and then she's like okay,it's your money anyway (well it's only Rp7000) so,no hurt feeling.
But the shampoo is making me crazy!took me so long to clean the brushes from the shampoo that makes me don't want to use the brushes because remembering how it consumes my time to wash them with the shampoo. Back then I've ordered my brush cleaner,but I must wait quite a long time that makes me impatient and bought the shampoo,and now I regret it since I won't use it anymore.what a waste.
Okay,...I think I'm starting to running out from the main topic,
Okay then here's the baby!
 1.it comes in almost transparent pink plastic tube. You can see the blur logo and writings because it's printed in grey. But it's only in the picture,the real thing is very clear logo and writings!
I wanted to buy the refill for this since it's cheaper but my agent doesn't sell it because it's said it always spilled in the package. So..bought the tube one, 250ml. Quite decent amount




 2.the back,with hangul writings, some in English is mainly for descriptions and directions
 3. I'm kinda off when I saw the seal. I think all seal for this kind of thing is sealed in front of the flip mouth,not across it. If it comes from the factory like that,tbh for my opinion the seal's not effective at all!
4.it comes in flip cap,with small holes but decent enough to poor right amount. Better a little bit slow but precise rather than spilling everything,right?










So I only used this once,like 8hours ago,for my remaining new brushes that I haven't clean it and for my brushes that I tried to use it 8,5hours ago. But since it's a brush cleaner I think the result is solid even for only one time usage .
I wouldn't know how effective it cleanse my new brush,but first thing that I'm happy for,it doesn't need a lot of time to wash the soap residue like the shampoo.
For my dirty brushes,even though I only use it once so it's not that dirty (but I won't use the brush again (without cleansing) even if I only use it once) it cleanse very well! I only pour a little on a small plate and swirl my brush a few times and rinse it.
As for the scent,it's very pleasant. Sweet and soft. I just like it!

So what I think about this product?
PROS:
1.Cleanse well
2.Doesn't take a lot of time to remove the soap residue
3.Smells really good!

CONS:
1.The price (for me)

RATINGS







4,5out of 5stars (minus for the price,even though it's not that expensive but still it's quite expensive for me to buy this kind of tools or tools' cleanser thingy)

WILL I REPURCHASE?
Yes ,in refill type! But if there's another better and cheaper brush cleaner ,why not giving it a try?

So do you have any favorite brush cleaner or you have a DIY?

Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner Pen Review - Edited Twice

Sooo...hey guys! This is my first eyeliner and holika holika post
First of all I'm sorry I don't have swatches on my eyes. Can't get the right position,ugly eyes,bad lighting,don't know how to pose lol /slap
So I'm not good at applying-eye-makeup-thingy so looking for a liquid,brush pen type thingy. And looking for Korean products,it's quite hard to find the packaging like what I want,and quite pricey. So when I saw this I immediately grab this without thinking twice like my customer did (my customer bought this too) and my customer loves it! She said it's easy to apply. So what about me?
Well first,I want to introduce the background first. It's Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner Pen. Claims to be water and smudgeproof. And looking at the name "Wonder" , I guess it accentuates the Wonder-ful result of this eyeliner. So does it lives up the claims?
Let's check it out!
1. The simple bold black packing with yellow-gold text and witch logo
2. The brush. The look looks like felt type but trust me,it's not! It's very soft and easy to follow curves not like felt type /what
3. The black pigment is so-so not so bold black,but buildable. You can make thin or thick lines easily (not for me,since I have folded lids on 1 side,and I never use eye makeup before)
4. Waterproof check! I put my hand on running tap, no rubbing,and it starts to fade. Can you see the thin lines have gone?
5. Smudgeproof check! So I rub it,not really hard while my hand's still wet,and it fades! And I ever wore this on my hang out day once,and it smudge on my quite oily lids and when I blink,there's a copy line on my upper lids -______-
6. Testing how it can be easily cleanse/not with my 2 makeup remover
Left : The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover
Right : Bifesta Cleansing Lotion in Moist
7.One swipe only
Can you see which one cleanses well?











So,I don't know is something wrong with this eyeliner or the remover,since I tried Bifesta and still leaves black shadow cast,and I don't experience it when I tried my mom's cheap eyeliner. And I can't give exact info it comes from the eyeliner/remover since I don't have a lot of this kind of product so can't compare it.
This thing bothers me very much,since I'm not a pro on applying eyeliner,and keep to erase and fix it again,and it leaves this kind of cast,and final result like someone had hit me on the eyes. Rub it hard but the cast is hardly to disappear. Damn -_-

So,let's move on to the conclusions

PROS:
1. Thin brush
2. Adjustable,buildable for thin and thick lines
3. Easy to use with the pen type packaging

CONS:
1. Not really bold black
2. Not waterproof
3. Not smudgeproof
4. Leaves black shadow cast when removing it,like a tattoo. it might be a good thing so it doesn't look completely gone since it's not waterproof when you're still outside,but it's troublesome when you're about to clean it up,and it kinda creep me out
5. Doesn't dry really fast
6. Not really easy to smudge it well (for makeup style,not smudging because it's not long lasting)
7. Price is quite fair,but it doesn't worth with the quality,such a waste

WHO MIGHT LIKE IT:
1. A beginner in eyeliner thing,since it's quite easy to apply

RATINGS:


2 out of 5 stars

WILL I REPURCHASE?
No. there's wayyy more better product than this with fair price. Just bought one from Kiss Me on my last mini haul , but haven't use it,since I'm too lazy. I have been absent from practicing to apply eyeliner,since I have folded lids on one side that keeps making my eyes look ugly overall,and bought eyelid glue and tape,start to practice using the glue but it's hard like hell and it hurts (for me). Hopefully can master it soon,and then continue to eye makeup practice

So,ever used this?What is your favorite eyeliner?
