Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar Review

Today I will be doing a very short review on the Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar! Tony Moly is one of my favourite Korean cosmetic brands because of it's cute and bold packaging, as well as it being inexpensive!
I purchased these glosses off ebay, 2 for $10 (usually found on ebay for $5-6 each) with free shipping and they are available in 9 different shades. On the left is 03 Juicy Apple and right is 04 Juicy Cherry!


I think we all know why what drew me to these products! BUNNYS!!! They are the cutest things on my makeup shelf.
The packaging is a normal balm, you wind it up and down to dispense the product. I have found one of them can't wind down anymore so I have to push it back... which is annoying, but I have to do that with a lot of cheaper blams anyway that I own, so I'm used to it.
 Each colour smells like the fruit it is named after, but it is light and not overpowering at all.

My thoughts?
I love them! They are a great mix of a balm and gloss. A balm that makes your lips softer and smoother, while adding a nice flush of colour. 
I have found it doesn't last a really long time... maybe 2 or so hours before it comes off. However, it does leave a slight tint on the lips well after the rest of the product is gone. Good for everyday wear to add a bit of colour and shine!

There isn't much more to say... it is just a really nice simple product that works really well. They don't taste bad, they are cheap, not sticky at all and they give your lips colour, which is all I look for!
The only downside is they are hard to get a hold of... but that's what I get for loving Asian cosmetics :(


Have you seen these before or tried them? What did you think? Let me know! :)

Everyday: Lips

I know, I have been gone for way too long if you noticed :( 
My computer at home is still ruined, so I just check on my ipod, but I'm too lazy to update because of it's bad camera...
I am at my boyfriends now so I have a little bit of time to update!

I will be talking about my favourite lip products that I use on a regular almost daily bases!

Nivea: Milk and Honey, LipIce Water Colour: Kissy Pink, Maybelline Baby Lips: Mango Pie, Softlips: Vanilla and  Etude House Lip Tint: Follow Me.

I'll talk about the three balms first:
I have just recenlty purchased the Nivea lip balm and have fell in love with it, the colour, the packaging and the smell are all lovely. I apply this every hour when I have it because it is addicting! Not too sticky and not too shiny on the lips!
This is my newest Baby Lips! I own 5 of them. The packaging is really what draws me in.. the colors are all so cute and sweet, which compliment the smell very well. They can be a bit sticky, but I try not too apply too much!
The Softlips are the most amazing product ever. They are in no way sticky on the lips, they smell amazing: exactly like vanilla, and have SPF20. They also have that cooling menthol feeling when you put them on. I gave one of these to my brother because he was whining about dry lips and he used it all within a week because it was that good! Dry lips are all gone!

Lip Balms are what I hoard. I buy them because of the packaging or smell, and I never use any of them up before I buy more. These are just the ones I keep in my makeup bag I carry, I have plenty more at home!!

The two tinted ones. I did a review on the Etude house one here.

I bought the LipIce while I was in Singapore thinking it would be similar to the Etude House Lip Tint... Oh how I was wrong. It isn't like a lip tint at all, but more like a VERY moisturising lip stick. The colour isn't 'kissy pink' but more or a pinky coral. 

As you can see the colour is a lot more pigmented compared to the Etude house tint.

What is great about these is that it has the qualities of a great lip balm or moisturiser, but with the added colour. It is very pigmented and stays on for a few hours, which means no drying like some lip sticks!
I'm hoping to go to either Singapore, Malaysia or Hong Kong at the end of the year so I will definatly pick up some more colours from this range. They are very cheap! I think I got mine for S$4, which is only like $3 here or something :D

Do you guys have a lip product you take everywhere with you? Or even too many than needed?
