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! :)

Tint it!

Oh goodness, I am so so sorry. I haven't posted in over a month... almost 2!! I'm not going to make up an excuse...I was just super lazy and didn't feel like it :(

BUT I AM BACK! For who knows how long... I have a few new products so that means a few reviews at least :)

It was my 20th birthday yesterday, and with that came celebrations and presents! However, I was sick. Really really sick. A mix of drinking a bit more than I should and the beginning of Spring gave me a killer sore throat and stuffed nose! I am feeling a bit better now though~ and I got some presents that I love :3

People who know me know that I love Lip tints. Give me lip tints over lipstick or lipgloss anytime. I think it is because I am super lazy at constantly re-applying, so I like tints for their long wear. 

I received two new ones for my birthday to add to my collection!

The Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint and Balm in 300 Perpetual Plum (long name is long) and the Tony Moly Tony Tint in Cherry Pink.

I bought the Rimmel one out of interest from Priceline... it has only just been released in Australia (WHY SO LATE?!) and it was a cheap alternative to the Revlon and Maxfactor ones I had seen. It was something like $10.  The Tony Moly tint is off ebay, since it is a Korean brand. It is easily available all over ebay for less than $10.

Sorry I am not using my lips in the photo since it's hard to test two tints at a time because of the staining, and also my lips and face are realllly dry from being sick :( Hands will have to do!!

Above is the Tony Moly tint (left) and Rimmel tint (right) when first applied. 

The Tony tint is very watery, it looks almost like ink in the packaging. You can see it applies with a strong pinky/red colour and goes on really smoothly to the lips, as the colour is spread evenly through its light consistency.

The Rimmel tint uses a design shaped like a felt tip pen...and applies just like one. I felt like I was colouring in my lips bit by bit. From what I have read, it is difficult to get a strong colour payout and I had this problem. It felt as though the the tip was drying up, so applying the colour was harder and more time consuming, as well as making it harder to have even colour.

This was around 40 seconds after applying. If I had left it a bit longer the colour would have stained almost completely :P

I am too lazy to write more... T_T I am sorry. I will just sum up some of the pros and cons of each.

Tony Tint:

• Easy to apply, strong colour, dries quickly, cheap, can see how much product you have used, long lasting and smells nice.
• Can over apply colour easily, doesn't taste mouth friendly :P

Rimmel Tint:

• Lovely colour payout, has a balm on the end for moisturising, available in many colours, fast drying and long lasting.
• Hard to apply, less colour payout, drying without balm and can't see how much product you have used.

Overall both work well for what they are, a lip stain/tint. They both last a few hours (from what I can remember... I was drinking when I wore them ><). However, I find the Tony Tint is a lot more reliable, as well as inexpensive. The rimmel just may have a few too many annoying cons that out shine the pros.

Have you tried any of these Tints?? What did you think?? Also, what is your favourite tint you have used?? LET ME KNOW! I love tints soo much :3

Gel Liners!

Hey guys, I am back... again! It's been almost 2 weeks since my last post... sorry about that :(

I just haven't had the determination to post... I haven't got anything new since I have no money, so I feel a bit sad lately. Gosh I need a job. I have applied at so many places but no luck at all!! Hopefully I hear something soon.

Anyway! Enough of the negative! I am going to do a post about two gel eyeliners I own. I bought these last year, and from what I can remember they weren't popular then... I had only seen Korean brands do them, so  I bought some a year ago from:

Tony Moly and Missha.

the Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner in Navy is probably one of the first ones I had ever seen.. or I just didn't know about Gel liners back then. Actually, I didn't know much about any makeup then.

It was the product that put Tony Moly on the map in Korea. It comes in I think around 8 different colours and is waterproof.

The Missha Fit-in Gel Eyeliner in Black and is waterproof. I'm not sure how many colours there are... but I know there aren't as many as the Tony Moly ones.

They both came with a brush which was really handy! The Tony Moly one is in the lid, much like the ones from Rimmel and Revlon. The Missha one is just a pot with a small brush to carry around... which I have lost some times!

Like most brushes, you have to clean them! I am too lazy to half the time, which I regret when I use them... The gel dries them out so much and they become really difficult to use. I think I need to buy a new brush because they just don't have the same smoothness and gliding power that they used to have! So clean your brushes people, especially ones you use with gel eyeliner!!

The Tony Moly one is a bit smaller, and the Navy blue colour is a bit difficult to see! I actually thought it was a black when I bought it! 

When applied using the brushes, the colours are really vibrant! The Missha product has a more Matte finish to it, while the Tony Moly one actually has a slight shimmer to it. 

The top is using the Missha brush and below is the Tony Moly one. The Missha one is used less so the shape that helps make thinner lines is still there, which the Tony one is much more difficult to use.

I tried to remove it using water and actually had to scrub hard to get this much off, so it is quite as strong waterproofing to it. 

I am no expert on gel liners, and I haven't tried any other brands. However I do love the way they are easy to apply, the gel really does glide on, and unless you bump your hand a lot, it is quite easy to apply a very straight line. I find these are the best when it comes to applying a winged line on your eyes compared to liquid eyeliners and pencils because using a brush is easier (for me atleast).

I especially love the way that after almost a whole year they have not dried up! The  product is almost the same as when I first got them! It will take me awhile to even come close to finishing them, so I hope they last a little while longer!

Have you guys tried a gel liner you really love? Tell me which ones! I may need to invest in some more some day soon :)

Also, I will post more, I promise. My boyfriend is going to France to see his family so I will have lots more time to be bored out of my mind, which should encourage me to post more to fill that gap! 

Nail favourites!

As someone who has just recently stopped biting there nails, I have become obsessed with nail polish even more. I need to wear nail polish otherwise I feel like I am just going to bite them... if I wear it I think 'They are way too pretty to be ruined!' while staring lovingly at the colours.

I used to buy nail polish about 4 years ago to put on my stubs. My collection was full of cheap, bright colours from The Face Shop. Sad to say, I stopped using them and they all dried up. Even while biting them I would still buy some cheap ones if I really loved the colours.

At the start of the year I had around 15... since about 2 months ago, it has doubled! Okay, 30 doesn't seem like lots but I am unemployed and have no money so I get all happy every time I buy just 1!!

Out of all of them, I chose my 8 favourites to show you my readers! :D

Tony Moly (not sure of the colour code or name) Mint Green?, Rimmel Lasting Finish in Strawberry Fizz, Canmake (again, no idea..) Blood orangey colour?, O.P.I. in Gone Gonzo!

Rimmel 60 Seconds in Instyle Coral, Ulta3 in Lollypop Lilac, MaxFactor Mini in Diva Violet, Revlon Polish in Girly.

Do mind the mess and also the little bits of stringy things... it's from the cotton wool when I used the remover!

In terms of colour, these are my favourites. I love bright, pastel and shiny colours! 

Tony Moly: It takes around 3 coats to become opaque and chooses when it wants to work well -.- but I love the colour so I don't mind about the hassle!

Strawberry Fizz: The colour is adorable and application is easy, not to sticky consistency and only needs 2 coats.

Canmake: Almost opaque after one coat! Easy to apply and no hassle, however the colour can be too bright  sometimes :)

Gone Gonzo: Needs 3 coats for full effect. Is a bit sticky. I think it is better suited as a top coat over a light blue! Difficult to remove with nail polish remover.

Instyle Coral: I had a coral obsession and this one delivers perfectly. Not too bright and brush is easy to apply. Needs 2+ coats.

Lollypop Lilac: Lovely sweet pink colour. Easy to apply with 2 coats. Isn't very chip resistant :(

Diva Violet: Deep violet colour. Applies easily though not opaque until 3 coats. Chips easily though!

Girly: Silvery pink tint, applies smoothly with no streaks in 2 coats. Chip resistant, however difficult to remove with nail polish remover.

I love all these colours, and I will continue to wear them despite the little set backs. It is very difficult to make the perfect nail polish so it doesn't bother me! 

What's your favourite nail polish? Have you tried any of my choices?
