Kawaii eBay Finds #3 ♡ ft. Missha x Line Friends, Gudetamma, Mystic Cotton Swab Tint & Daiso Peel Off Mask

Kawaii eBay Finds #3 ft. Missha, Gudetamma, Mystic Tint & Daiso Mask

I have received some great feedback on my Kawaii eBay Finds blog series and I am glad to see that some of you really enjoyed this topic. Today I am sharing with you my latest eBay kawaii purchases, some of the items are probably not as cute this time, but I think overall they are cute enough to fit in this post.

 DAISO JAPAN PEEL OFF NATURAL CHARCOAL FACIAL PACK
USD $7.00 | BRANDSHOP-UPRISE

Daiso Charcoal Mask has been a popular skincare item for many years and I have heard so many positive review of this product, with some people claiming that this mask is the best product that they have ever used. The purpose of this mask is to remove oils, dirt and cleanse pores and I assume it will remove blackheads too.

By now I have used this five to six times, and I don't see too difference it made. I thought the peel off process was fun, but the mask was hard to peel off and removed entirely even when it is fully dried.

 MISSHA X LINE FRIENDS POPTASTIC JELLY LIP TINT (MAPLE LATTE)
USD $9.99 | 7MARKET

Korean beauty brands is so on to it this year, many like TonyMoly, The Face Shop and Etude House has released some of the cutest makeup collection and I reckon Missha has the best collection this year when they launched the Line Friends range.

I had my eyes on the Missha x Line Friends Jelly Lip Tint in the shade Maple Latte for the longest time, but lately before I buy a makeup product I always had to ask myself if it is a want item or a need item and finally I could wait no longer, I need this in my collection because it is too cute to pass.

The packaging is really simple but it's super kawaii with Cony printed in the front, the shade Maple Latte is a mauvey rosey color and the texture is a straight-up liquid type. Once applied on the lips, it immediate dries to a stain. It is drying during wear, but it is long wearing.

 MYSTIC KOREA COTTON SWAB LIP TINT (PINK)
$USD $6.95 | ALPHABEAUTYUK

I am just so intrigued by the idea of a cotton swab lip tint and I think the idea is unique, no one has ever created something so weird, yet so much fun before! These are to be used once only and dispose of after each use, they are not messy during application and the pink color is gorgeous.

 GUDETAMMA MASCOT CLEAR KAWAII EGG TOY
USD $10.44 | CHI0911282133

This is probably the most kawaii item mentioned in this month's Kawaii eBay Finds, it is water filled Gudetamma squeezed toy. I initially bought it to use as a stress ball, but I didn't realized it's so soft and that every time I squeeze it, it felt like the product was to break apart.


♥ ABOUT THE SELLER ♥

BRANDSHOP-UPRISE is based in Japan and the store sells a lot of Sanrio products that are hard to find elsewhere, the store also sells a lot of designer brands such as Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari and Cartier... This is my first shopping experience with brandshop-uprise and so far it is been a great experience, my parcel arrived within one week of order.

7MARKET is based in Korea and the store sells a lot of Limited Edition Korean beauty products that are either sold out elsewhere or the prices are unreasonable. I had previously purchased a bunch of Missha x Line Friends products from another well-known eBay seller, but my parcel got lost and by the time I requested for a refund, most of the items that I wanted are out of stock. So while I was searching for this lip tint, I came across 7Market and decided to buy from them instead. This is also my first time dealing with 7Market and it has been an okay experience, my parcel took three weeks to arrive and there were no samples included. 

ALPHABEAUTYUK is one of my favourite eBay store and I have mentioned this store many times on my blog. It is a Hong Kong based eBay store that sells mostly Japanese beauty products. I love Alphabeautyuk, their prices are always reasonable and I love that they offers some of the hard to get Sailor Moon beauty products.

CHI0911282133 is based in Taiwan and the store mainly sells cartoon and anime figures. My parcel arrived within three weeks and my parcel was packaged well.


I am slowly running out of idea of what to buy,
do you have any kawaii recommendation?

Missha All Clear Tint Remover ♡ Review + Demo On One Of The Toughest Lip Stains

Missha All Clear Tint Remover

Out of curiosity, I bought the Missha All Clear Tint Remover in hopes that it would easily remove tough lip stains and liquid lipsticks without damaging my lips from all the scrubbing and pulling.

I have been trying this product for awhile now and today I want to share with you my thoughts on this lip tint remover. I did a demonstration on one of the toughest lip stains I own, showing the results both on arm swatch and lip swatch.

Missha All Clear Tint Remover

Missha All Clear Tint Remover is described as a tint remover that helps erase thoroughly just by rubbing and washing. It claims to be a lip cleansing product that is stronger than a lip and eye remover and that it will erase tint color on the lips completely, leaving lips feeling moisturized and comfortable after cleansing. This remover has a sweet and fresh citron scent that leaves a strong fragrance aftertaste and the formula is said to be better than any other general cleansing product.

I tested the Missha All Clear Tint Remover on the Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack that I have recently reviewed. I did a lip swatch of all six lip tints and it stained my lips pretty badly as each of these lip tints are very long wearing, especially the darker shades.

All six Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Packs swatched on arm.

2nd arm swatch picture shown: 
Removing the lip tints with the Missha All Clear Tint Remover and a cotton pad (used approximately three to four cotton pads).

3rd arm swatch picture shown:
The top part where I removed with the Missha All Clear Tint Remover seems to have gone completely. I used three to four cotton pads and I scrubbed and rubbed a little.

Missha All Clear Tint Remover seemed to work well with arm swatches or any non-sensitive surface as I have only used three to four cotton pads, a few pumps of the tint remover and a few scrubs here and there to fully removed the stain.

1st lip swatch picture shown:
The result of after swatching all six Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Packs. As you can see my lips were stained pretty badly (I remember the stained lasted through the next day).

2nd lip swatch picture shown:
Removing the lip tints with the Missha All Clear Tint Remover, used approximately ten cotton pads to remove the stain, scrubbed and dragged my lips during removable to the fact that I could not handle the pain no more that I gave up. Felt like I've used half of the bottle of the tint remover.

3rd lip swatch picture shown:
The stains seems to have faded and isn't as strong as the first picture, the inner lips were still very much stained. This is after removing with 'nearly half a bottle of tint remover' and 'nearly half a packet of cotton pads'. (it's time like this that I feel like I should exaggerate a bit).

I wouldn't say I am completely disappointed with the Missha All Clear Tint Remover as it did a great job removing the arm swatches and it does remove liquid lipsticks such as the Kylie Lip Kits (those are hard to remove) easily without having to scrub the lips. I didn't have many expectation for it to fully remove the stains of the lip swatches because the lips area is a sensitive part of the body, even waterproof lip remover can't remove the stains completely, how can Missha do it?! Didn't Missha claimed that this is better than any lip or eye remover? 

Overall, I am glad to have tried the Missha All Clear Tint Remover, but at the same time I will not recommend it because it's a waste of money, even though it is so affordable (I purchased for USD $4.99 from Rinishop on eBay) and it is hassle-free to purchase from eBay. This product works as good as any supermarket branded waterproof eye and lip remover, but it's not better as Missha claimed.

Below is a video I uploaded to Instagram a few days ago, showing how good this product is at removing the Kylie liquid lipstick.
