☆ Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Pink Plumping Tint Bar Review ☆

   
      Hello again lovelies!~ 
I'm here again to write another review on Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Pink Plumping Tint Bar. Now as I said in my other Holika Holika review, I've heard many wonderful things about Holika Holika's makeup and skincare products so I decided to try this wonderful brand out. I also added that I didn't purchase my Holika Holika products from the U.S. website as many of the items didn't quite fit my budget so I bought them off eBay *Brand New!* for a tad cheaper ( 4 items total ). I do plan to purchase from their website in the future though! So I do apologize that I'm being cheap here! > n <

I mentioned before that Holika Holika's products have ingredients that seem much more beneficial to your skin compared to many other makeup brands here in the United States. ( mind how I said "seem" as for I do not know much about Holika Holika and don't want to make full on statements that aren't true). Originally when I was going to purchase this item I was planning on buying it in color 01 Cherry Kiss but they were out of stock during the time so I had to choose between colors 02 Orange Kiss and 03 Pink Plumping. I chose Pink Plumping as the only two lipstick shades I ever wear are red and pink (and on a rare occasion black due to it only being around during Halloween (╯3╰) ). I purchased this lovely jelly tint bar from an eBay shop called " happychan12 " I paid $7.97 for it and it had free shipping (◡‿◡✿). This shop didn't list the features/benefits like the other shop did in my Jelly Shadow review so I went looked up the lovely benefits for this item and they are :

❤ Plumps and moisturizes as well as tints

❤Helps heal sores on lips.

The delivery time for this package was great just like the jelly shadow as they both arrived on the same day together!~ (✿◠‿◠) The packaging arrived in lovely condition as it was in a bubble wrap padded envelope and the lipstick was wrapped up in bubble wrap as well. Unlike the jelly shadow this item came without a box but was still in brand new condition (of course) ! (because who sells used lipstick? (°ロ°)).

I also got cute sample goodies from this seller as well ~

(Innisfree Apple Juicy Liquid Foaming Cleanser, front and back)

( Luke Charcoal Nose Cleansing Strips, front and back)

The color for the lipstick showed up much easier than the jelly shadow. ( Thank goodness!~) When applying this you need to apply for 3 seconds and let it melt with your lip temperature. When I applied it to my lips I felt a nice cool, soothing sensation run through my lips which I enjoyed as well as the lipstick had a sweet minty strawberry scent. ∩(︶▽︶)∩ My lips felt moisturized and soft too !~

❤ Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Pink Shadow Review ❤

   

    Hello darlings!~

Today I'm writing a wonderful review about Holika Holika's Aqua Petit Jelly Pink Shadow. I've heard such great things about Holika Holika's makeup as well as skincare items so I decided to search for this wonderful makeup! Now normally I check shopping sites for the product because sadly, you can get the brand somewhat cheaper on a shopping site such as eBay or Aliexpress compared to the actual site > o < (I know I sound cheap and terrible for not buying the actual brand from the legit website but money is quite hard for me at the moment so I have to make such sacrifices). Aliexpress does carry Holika Holika but not for an affordable price! I mean you can pay $50+ for a lot but when you want to by it by piece its just as expensive as buying in a bulk or lot! So I crossed Aliexpress off my list. Next was eBay and I found a great collection of Holika Holika products on there that were quite affordable but I compared prices from eBay and the US Holika Holika shop and eBay was a bit cheaper for me so I purchased through eBay( Mind you Holika Holika's website prices are quite affordable but I was purchasing more than 1 item so that is why I bought through eBay). Though in the future I will purchase from Holika Holika's USA website as it will be much better to write a review for the amazing brand/website so as for now I apologize for being cheap. ; A ;

Now I don't know very much about Holika Holika's makeup but I do know the products in the makeup, I believe it's much more beneficial for your skin compared to many of the brands here in the United States. I bought my eye shadow (which comes in 4 colors: white, pink, purple, and teal) from " iamlove-shop " . I chose pink since most of my nice clothes have some shade of pink in them (and the fact that I already own so many dark eye shadows : A : ). The shop also put the lovely features/benefits of this item in the product description , which I liked very much (◡‿◡✿),The features/Benefits as stated in the shop are: "Has beautiful pearl like textures making eyes shine/twinkle" and "Stays on very well". It also states that it is a water based formula ( a water based formula is makeup that contains water and sits on the surface of the skin and not in it. Pretty ideal for oily skin/troubled skin in my opinion!~)

The delivery for the item was great as it arrived a day earlier than the actual expected date ∩(︶▽︶)∩. When I received my package it arrived to me in wonderful condition! No dents or tears! When I opened the package it was securely wrapped in bubble wrap and in its original box ( the tear you see in the photos below were from me though as I was anxious to see the shade xD ).

 Also to my surprise I was given a lovely gift of samples as well.~

(Tony Moly Red Appletox Honey Cream, Sorry I forgot to take front and back photos befor I used the product > n < )

When I opened my lovely jelly shadow the color was perfectly as described!~ Though the color was very hard to capture due to the poor lighting ( I apologize for the terrible quality photos as my nice camera isn't working at the moment > n <) but the color is similar to the photo without ( maybe a tiny bit lighter) flash. The texture of the makeup feels very jelly like ( Hence the word jelly being in the title :3) but is quite hard to apply to your finger so I recommend using a makeup brush for it. I also had a hard time capturing the color on my eyelid as well as hand so I apologize if that part of the review is quite unhelpful :c When I applied the jelly shadow to my eyelid and hand it did have a very nice sparkling effect to it as it said and I stayed on my eyelid very nicely (✿◠‿◠) (took 3 wipes to remove most of it from my eyelid with my makeup removing wipes so if you got splashed with water or anything like that it stays on nicely! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ) So below here are the photos of the jelly shadow itself as well as in use.

(without flash, Ughhhhh the horrid lighting ; . ; )

(It looked less pink on me)

(both color comparisons had no flash as flash made it disappear off my pale flesh ; A ;)

I assume that it didn't come out quite pink since I didn't put enough on as it was late at night when I took these photos. n.n; But anyways on with the BIG rating ! ( ಠ◡ಠ )
