I just wonder how can so many things be cute, beautiful or lovely in Korea? In Finland we have only Moomins and Angry birds . Yeap, they are from Finland. Sometimes I feel Korean people just know how to combine cutiness and beauty. As I have previously reviewed TonyMoly products , I would like to preview one more cutie pie on today's post!

TonyMoly is known from their cute animal and fruit themed packages. TonyMoly arrived to the Nordics 1st of September what gives a reason for a preview of one of their popular products: Egg Pore Silky Smooth Balm which is one of the most popular Korean primers due to its cheap price and well known golden egg shaped jar.

Everyone who uses makeup knows the feeling of an eyeliner which always gets smeary and fades out until the evening is even nearby — or the eyeliner which is impossible to apply because of the bad and too thick brush. I have experiences all those until I found the best Korean eyeliner which is pure gold: Clio Waterproof Kill Black eyeliner . Clio is a Korean brand which is known for their innovative quality and great pigments in their makeup products. I used to love to apply eyeliner almost everyday and found out that the ones with brush or pen are the most suitable for my eyelids. This pen eyeliner is great because it has deep black pigment and the pen is also thin to get beautiful and precise result . It's also waterproof  and it lasts the whole day without getting smeary. This product goes well with Etude House Curl Fix Mascara . As you can see the eyeliner looks like a marker pen. There are Clio eyeliners with the pen and brush nibs. Even though the nib in the p...

Ok, so I primarily wanted to have this product because of the adorable name and the cute  pig . But there is also a story behind why I ended up getting this one! When living in Korea last spring, I was paying and ordinary visit to a supermarket called Homeplus and I was having some free time. I wandered around at the cosmetic section and some Korean woman who was working there asked me to see some of their products. I was actually trying the lipsticks — and asked if there are any nice masks for acne scars . Without hesitating she took some bottle, opened it and put the product on my hand. I saw some thick grey stuff which started to make bubbles . WOW! Bubbles, so cool! I thought. And after rinsing it off my hands were soft as a cute little pig. It made funny bubbles so here I am with my Milky Piggy Bubble Clay Mask . Happy and confident to review this product. When you open the jar it's full of the thick grey cream I told you about. It smells like clay and it looks like — ...

Have you ever wondered how some people have those amazing beautiful long eyelashe s? Probably they just have eyelash extensions or great genetics. Nobody decides what kind of eyelashes they get when they were born, neither me — I have probably the most light colored and thin eyelashes . But I believe that good products can turn even the thinnest and shortest eyelashes beautiful. So I gave a try to Etude House's Curl Fix Mascara which is often said to be one of the bests Korean mascaras! Let's see what kind of magic this product holds inside. The bottle is simple — stylish black with some white text. When you open it you can see the slightly curved brush . The texture of the mascara is pretty thick and the color I use is pitch black. This mascara is available also in brown and plum colors. How to use: 1. Curl your lashes with Etude House Perm Fix Curler ( read the review here! ) 2. Take the brush out and wipe the excessive product off 3. Start with the short...
