 I took a trip to Mitsua Marketplace in Chicago suburbs in March. I was disappointed at how small the selection in the beauty section was (the toy selection was worse!) and I haven't ever tried Japanese cosmetics, so I just picked out one of the cutest cheaper items in case I didn't like it -$6.50. Different colors were different prices and I picked the black one with the silver glitter.
I first tried it on my hand, and it's a deep black color with a little bit of silver glitter. Cute.
The best part about this however, is that it is actually long-lasting! After I drew a line on my hand, it stayed there faintly -even after I tried to rub it out- for hours! It's easy to draw on and it stays on.

REVIEW: Etude House (not completely cruelty free) nail polish -Black Tea Milk (BR301), Strawberry Milk (PK003), Pink Ade (PK10) -2 stars

Brand: Etude House

Product: Nail Polish

Origin: South Korea

Tested on Animals: Parent company AmorePacific ended testing in May 2013 but has yet to pull out of China...

Color: Black Tea Milk -BR301

Strawberry Milk -PK003

Pink Ade -PK010

Size - 7 ml- pretty small :( 2.5/5

Color: All 3 are pretty close to what the bottle color is and not watery. The Strawberry Milk (PK003) is kind of sheer and takes a few coats to show up... 4.5/5

Thickness: solid, not watery 5/5

Lastability- the edges chip just like any other nail polish. Very poor. 1.5/5

Package: Cute with classic pink tulip tops 5/5

The Verdict-  NOT recommended- I really like the variety of pinks that these come in, but they don't stay on and they chip within a day. Quality is very very low.

REVIEW: Baviphat (not cruelty free) Apple AC Sleeping Pack MINI -does this do ANYTHING? :( 1 Star

Brand: Baviphat
Product Type: Facial Sleeping Pack
Origin: ?
Tested on Animals: unknown status, but sold in China. Yes.


My first Baviphat product...

It comes in a little apple shaped container like Tony Moly & B&C (i think B&C was first to start this packaging with their lip gloss and cream)
Size: ml - mini - it's REALLY tiny! And IMO they could fit more in than they do because it's not even full. 1/5
Packaging: 3/5 -really cute apple shaped container - minus a star because it's been done before...
Color: It's actually apple colored...Texture: 4/5 Smooth & creamy
Lastability: 1.5/5 It may only last 3 uses if that. It's a mini, but the content is more that of a sample...
Scent: 4/5 Great! Very sweet Apple scent...
Effect: 0/5 ...o_o...nothing...i finally remembered to put it on at night and the next morning...nothing!

That's a score of...13.5 out of 30.
Overall: pass on this and try something else...
