Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner : Draw Tatoo Arts On Your Eyes

I hope I haven't made you all sick yet with bombardments of cuteness from my reviews of the recently launched Tokidoki makeup line, available exclusively at Sephora. Well, if you are then I'm sorry but I have another one ready to go. However, if you are loving these, then sit tight because I prepared another eye candy for you, the Tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner ($16, 8 shades) in Carina, which is an eggplant color.

I don't usually wear liquid liners (pencil and gel liners are much preferred) but still decided to try out the Perfetto Eyeliner because it is waterproof. Tokidoki claims that you can even draw tattoos with these on your body. They will be temporary and can be easily removed by makeup remover. To give the review a twist, I went for a purple shade rather than the usual black ones that I often wear.

This is one of the best liquid liners I've ever tried. It doesn't smudge and lasts all day long. I have very oily lids so for this to endure that long is simply just amazing. I especially love the applicator. It is not flimsy and allows me to draw very nice lines. However, it is also soft enough to not be dragging my eyelids. The applicator is a little on the bigger side, so don't expect to draw ultra thin lines with these. But, they are very easy to control and extremely convenient to use for beginners.

I've heard stories where people don't think these are pigmentated. But, Carina shows up on me as a very dark purple color. If you are interested in trying these out, I would recommend to go with the deeper shades.

This concludes my series of reviews for the dreamy Tokidoki collection. I think I have an overall positive impression on the brand. I wouldn't say that the items from this collection are best of the best, but they are very decent products that I would recommend people to check out. Plus, how can we say no to such cute packaging.

Tokidoki Prisma Lip Gloss Makes Me Proud To say "I Have Burgers On My Lips"

Many of you have already read my review on the Tokidoki Fantastico Lip Stain ($15), and you didn't really think that I would have left the collection with just one product right? Well, the second cutie up for test is the Prisma Lip Gloss ($15, 16 shades) in the color Burger, which is a bright orange shade.

More about the brand: Mischief abounds in the magical world of tokidoki, where one glance is never enough. Creator and Italian artist Simone Legno brings his cult-favorite designs and colorful interpretation of life to a new makeup and accessories line that exposes the criminally cute and irresistibly edgy sides of beauty. Presented exclusively at Sephora, this Japanese-inspired collection captures the true spirit of tokidoki: Every day brings another opportunity to dream.

I don't remember why I picked Burger out of all the shades, but I think the names of these lovely tubes really caught my attention. I mean, who doesn't want to say, "I'm wearing burger on my lips" (laughing out loud at my geekiness ).

The first thing that I saw when I grabbed the lipgloss is that it is big, definitely a giant among my small MAC ones. Size wise, these Tokidoki lipglosses are comparable to LipFusion Color Shine ($38, 14 shades), which I have reviewed one of its colors (Sun) before. These may not be the most convenient ones to carry around, but at least you know you are getting a bargain with the much bigger tubes.

As with other products in the new Tokidoki collection, Prisma Lip Gloss comes with unspeakable cuteness and are scented with sweet and fruity fragrances. I guess sometimes it is ok for burgers to taste like candies. The color pigmentation is quite sheer but is very nice because certain shades (Adios, Ninja Dog, SANDy) worry me a bit if the finish is too bright. What I especially love about this product is the fact that it doesn't settle into fine lines and really makes my lips look fuller. It gives you the kind of glossy and sexy lips that every girl adores.

One unique feature of the Prisma Lip Gloss that I want to mention is its applicator. Unlike the usual brush or sponge tips, these lipglosses come with paddle applicators. It did felt a bit awkward at first and took me few tries to get used to it, but the paddle tips actually work wonderfully and apply products evenly onto the lips. As you can see, my praise for this is nonstop. If you are interested in this new makeup line, definitely give the lip gloss a try.

Tokidoki Fantastico Lip Stain : Fantastic On My Lips But Reminds Me of That Movie (Gone In 60 Seconds)

I apologize again that due to a family emergency, my absence from blogging had to be extended for a bit longer, but everything is good now. I am so excited to be back because I have so much to share with you all. The mega cute and dreamy makeup line Tokidoki, created by artist Simone Legno, brings wonderland to Sephora. And it is no doubt that the limited edition collection has been the talk of the town. As the usual me who is a big sucker for girly packaging, I couldn't resist the temptation and picked up a few from the recently launched line.

More about the brand: Mischief abounds in the magical world of tokidoki, where one glance is never enough. Creator and Italian artist Simone Legno brings his cult-favorite designs and colorful interpretation of life to a new makeup and accessories line that exposes the criminally cute and irresistibly edgy sides of beauty. Presented exclusively at Sephora, this Japanese-inspired collection captures the true spirit of tokidoki: Every day brings another opportunity to dream.

The first up for test is the Fantastico Lip Stain ($15, 5 shades) in Cactus Friends, which is a bright coral color.

I have to admit that I was never a lip stain girl. I actually don't really understand why some people like them. Lip stains are usually very dry, lack in variety of colors, and often stain my lips. So I really didn't have high hopes for the Tokidoki one.

However, the packing is indeed awfully cute. It shapes like a marker and applies like one. The pointed tip is also very easy and convenient to use. The lip stain is very small and slim, so it can fit into any pockets and would be perfect to toss in your purse. What I like about this more than other lip stains I've tried is the fact that it is not as drying as the others. The color pigmentation is also buildable for both subtle or dramatic looks. It does take a few practices to achieve an even finish, but the result is well worth it. Plus, I don't often find bright reds suite me, but I actually love how Cactus Friends looks on my lips.

Of course then, certain features of the lip stain also annoys me a little. One downside that I noticed is that the marker seems to dry up quite fast, although I always keep the cap on. At this rate, the stain would be out in a few weeks, which with a not-so-low price tag, it just doesn't seem worth it to me. And on top of all these, the major weak point is the fact that the lip stain is not really long-lasting. If you think this is as enduring as the MAC Pro Longwear Lipstain Marker ($16, 9 shades), well, you really need to think twice. This lip stain fades away in just a few hours, and even some minor drinking or eating will rube the colors off. Sure, the color enduring ability is slightly higher than a regular lipstick, but not that much better.
