The eyes are the windows to your soul.

Hi lovelies,

I have never been a fan of eyeliners before until I got hooked to Kpop. Kpop idols have REALLY beautiful eyes and I can't emphasize it enough what and how a good eye liner can change and liven up your looks. Time and again, MUAs and super models like Tyra Banks have expressed the importance of eye make up. Remember that SMIZE ladies? Hihihih!

So here I am, browsing through different eye make up products and I saw this little thingy Faceshop Face it Maxx Gel Eye Liner.  As a shopper, a thrifty one, I checked the price tag first and oh, it's quite expensive and so I opted to check it out with my student in Korea and waited for the sale. Voila! I got it for almost the same price but it was on a buy 1 take 1 promo so lucky me! Heheheheh! I have never tried using gel eyeliners for the fear that I might not know how to do it properly but it was actually quite easy to use, easier than pen liners I must say.


Creamy and water-proof gel eyeliner that is not removed against water and oil. Built in brush to modify make-up whenever and wherever to go. No stimulation to eyes with smooth touch.

It is contained in a classy jar and it is very sturdy. Clumsy as I am, kept it falling over and over again, luckily it didn't break. :D


This baby here is highly pigmented. The picture on the right side is the gel eyeliner rubbed 3 times to check if it can withstand smudging and yes, it did. The picture on the left is me checking how will it last with water and smudging it, although it is not completely smudge-proof when wet but I think it still did a great job surviving being smudged,wet and smudged again. 

I usually use an eye makeup remover to remove it completely. It usually last long enough to survive a hot, humid day here in the Philippines. I also use an eye make-up base to make it last longer though.



PROS:
*long lasting
*very pigmented
*smudge-proof
*water-proof
*easy application
*come with a cute brush
*sturdy container

CONS:
*expensive when bought in an outlet
*the little brush can be easily broken

Faceshop Face it Maxx Gel Eye Liner Review

Hello there! My name is Von. I am 25 years old and I am a skincare junkie! I have been fascinated with the complexity of the beauty standards of different cultures. I am specifically drawn to East Asian beauty especially the Koreans. The Koreans are known to have flawless skin. They give great importance to their skin care. They value make up which doesn't just cover up their imperfections but ultimately, they want to FEED their skin.

Having this kind of fascination towards beauty, I have been trying and experimenting with different brands and labels. I started out with Western brands like L'oreal, Maybelline and Revlon. Yes, I was happy. I was happy with the coverage it gives. Then comes the rise of Korean skincare and cosmetics market, I tried it out again. I started to use Etude House's products and O-M-G, the coverage it gives was really comparable to Western brands but what got my attention and affection is that my skin was shouting that it was HAPPY! 

After days and months of using Etude House's products, I began to want more, more and more. I want to have that K-pop idol skin. That glow, that flawlessness that youthfulness, I wanted it so bad and thus my journey to Korean skincare and cosmetics began which was fueled by a good friend SaeSilPArk.

Right now, I am not just an enthusiast, not just a user but I am also a pusher. I push people who believe that beauty can be timeless, that beauty can be forever regardless of your age, ethnicity and skin color. 

Check out my FB page on the top right side of this page and let it be YOUR window to the KOREAN SKINCARE MARKET. :)

Who Am I?
