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?

The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover Review

Hey Hey! Today I'm going to post 2 posts!


I'm starting to be a good blogger , right?
/slap

Ok,to be true is,I want to post this review for some other time,and want to publish the eyeliner firs,but since it's envolving this remover,and the rare chance I'm going to be online in this crazy months of blackout,so I'm going to post everything earlier :v

So this is not purchased with my own money,nor this is mine. It's my mom's.
She bought it from The Body Shop Counter and have tried this too. At first I don't know how to give the opinion since I don't have other than this brand of a (point) makeup remover,but since I've use (all in one) makeup remover,so I can give some opinions.
Sorry if the pictures are not many
 1. The front with dual languages,the logo,and the volume.
It comes in bulky plastic packaging but not that heavy. Comes in a flip cap
2. There's ingredients list behind the sticker,but since it's not mine, I don't dare to touch (remove) it











It claims to be gentle,natural ingredients (my mom said so,if this brand is all natural) but I spotted paraben on the ingredients list. I don't mind though since most eye makeup contains paraben. But it's better that it's not on the list ,right?
The texture is watery like water,the scent is quite neutral,and when I rub my eyes it has some weird texture feeling filmsy thingy I don't know how to describe it. Not really pleasant feeling but still bareable
When I use this when I'm fixing my eyeliner,it leaves dark shadows,and I must rub it again and again. And notice my mom when fixing her cheap eyeliner,she uses a lot of product (swipe few times for one line)
But my mom has been using eyeliner for a long long time and I never see her buying another tube of it , hence I guess we don't need much for eye makeup even though we swipe it a lot.
My mom keeps saying that it can be use as facial makeup remover but hello,..it's clearly states that it only can be use for eyes only..

So I think it's better to use all in one cleanser ,you don't need to buy seperate remover anymore. But if your facial makeup remover is mild,needs more swipes for waterproof and heavy makeup,you can buy your favorite point makeup remover. Heard that Skin Food Milkshake Point Makeup Remover is popular,positive reviews,HG product,bought that one,but I don't have any intention to use it,so I'm planning to seel it.If you're located in Indonesia and want to buy ready stock of it,you can just mail me.

So,..well yeah,..I'm writing this post quickly and with half blank mind,so please mind of my weird writings,and this is quite a short post.
So let's just move to the conclusions

PROS:
1.Water based

CONS:
1.Poor cleansing (need a lot of product)
2.Not that gentle natural ingredients
3.Greasy filmsy feeling ,not really comfortable

Note: do mind I can't say anything about the price since I didn't buy this product

RATINGS:


1 out of 5 stars

tbh I don't know what is the PROS for this product,and just randomly put that water based thing -___-

WILL I PURCHASE?
Definitely NO!

So have you ever tried this?Any good product that you like?
