Kate Eyeliner FR

Contents: 0.7 ml
Shade: BK-1
Price: HK$80.00
Local of Purchase:  Sasa

My Opinion:

 

I've really liked this liner, all I have to do is to wiggle it on my lash line and it makes my lashes appear really thick, you don't really need any technique with this product, but you have to wait until it is fully dry before you blink, otherwise it'll smudge.

 

I don't really use this to line my eyes, because it does feather.

Kate Eyelash Curler

This was a free gift that I got with purchase, and I didn't even knew that Kate made eyelash curlers. 

 

I don't think I've seen these in the counter before, but never mind, the shape of this curler really fits the shape of my eyes, and for the past year I've only been using this.

 

I think with lash curlers you really need to try it to figure out which one really fits your eyeshape better.

My Opinion:

This is a really concentrated cleansing foam, and you only need a tiny bit to cleanse your face.

 

I didn't really use this to remove my makeup, only to wash my face in the morning, and have been using it for over a month. I never had any problems until recently I've started to have an allergic reaction with this cleanser, I told my husband to finish it off but his face was all red after using it, so it went to the bin.

Resche Extra Repair Mask

Contents: 250g
Price: HK$128
Local of Purchase: Mannings

This product was not listed in the Kracie's official webpage, and I was unable to find any info about it in English.

Before I start reviewing this product, I've to let you know that I'm very fussy about hair care products, because I've got super damage hair (due to repeated chemical treatments), and very oil scalp (not a good combo).

I've always though that my hair could never get worse, but recently I've dyed it black, and have finally outdone myself in damaging it, they are actually very crispy and crunchy at the moment.

Honestly I didn't wanted to chop it off, so I got a few different hair masks (reviews coming up soon) and am on a mission to rescue my hair.

This product really did nothing to my hair, it didn't even felt smoother after application so I can't imagine it repairing the damages. I've used it 3 times and I guess that I'll try it again in the summer and see if it will work better.

Kate Deep Liquid Eye Liner WP

Shade: BK-1
Contents: 1.8ml
Price: HK$98.00
Local of Purchase: Watsons

According to Kate's webpage:

Better coloration and longer lasting. A liquid eyeliner that produces sharp and dense lines to make the eyes hard to ignore.

My Opinion:

Before I start reviewing this product I should let you know that I'm hopeless with liners, I can't even work with pencils, so liquid is really a challenge.

I love the look of a thin sharp line, and after some extensive research I've found that liquid would be my best choice.

This eye liner was actually my first liquid liner, I've tried it several times and always ended up removing it... I don't know if I'm using it correctly, but it always feathers out and seeps into every tiny line on my lids...

Kracie Naive Facial Cleansing Foam Aloe

Contents: 190g
Price: HK$26.00
Local of Purchase: Sasa.com

According to sasa's webpage:

how to use it

Ingredients: Water, myristic acid, glycerin, potassium hydroxide, stearic acid, glyceryl stearate se, cocamide methyl mea, peg-6, peg-32, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, sodium phosphate, fragrance (parfum), polyquaternium-7, tetrasodium edta, aloe barbadensis extract, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, glycosyl trehalose, sodium polyacrylate, potassium cocoyl glutamate, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, methylparaben, butylene glycol, hydrolyzed oat protein, propylparaben, phenoxyethanol, sodium benzoate, sodium sulfite.

 

 

My Opinion:

 

Kracie is a drugstore brand from Kanebo, and so far it has never disapointed me. This cleansing foam was no exception, it cleanses well without drying out my skin, it didn't irritate me at all (even though my skin was acting up) and it didn't sting my eyes. For less than 30 buck, what more could you for for.

Kracie Silk Moist Essence Shampoo and Conditioner

Price: HK$19.9@

Contents: 550ml@

Local of purchase: SASA

According to Kracie's webpage:

Silk promotes moisturized skin as smooth as silk

Formulated with natural collagen and Hyarulonic Acid to retain moisture.

My Opinion:

I've actually got both the shampoo and conditioner, but I've forgotten to take picture of the shampoo before I've finished the bottle.

This product was actually dirt cheap, because I think they have already repackage the Silk series and now they come in a white bottle with red writtings (below picture extracted from Kracie's webpage), and in order to clear out the old stock they were being heavily discounted. (I got this nearly a year ago, but I can still see the old version at SASA).



I've really liked the shampoo for the summer, after washing my hair, my scalp feels really cool and minty, however, the conditioner really did nothing for my hair.

Lavshuca Stick Concealer N

Contents:  3.9g
Shade: Natural Beige
Price: HKD79.80

My Opinion:

Lavshuca is a Japanese drugstore cosmetics from Kanebo. This concealer is not bad, I can actually use it under my eyes during the summer without feeling dry, but my problem is with the color matching, this only comes is 3 shades, and the one that I got is the medium which is still slightly to light for my NC30 skin. I can still wear it during the winter when I'm about NC25, but then it does feel slightly dry under the eye area. This would be good for the face, but since I'm always searching for the perfect undereye concealer, I guess the searching will still have to be continued.

I've try swatching the next shade up, but it was just too pink, if you are interested in their shade selection check out their webpage.

容量：  3.9g
顏色：Natural Beige
價錢：HKD79.80

我的意見：
這支遮瑕膏常算不錯，夏天使用於眼周不會覺乾，可惜只有3隻顏色，小妹選了中間色，但夏天使用有點兒淺色（我的膚色：NC30），但冬天使用又有點兒乾。其實用於面上是沒有問題的，但小妹其實想找一支眼部遮瑕膏所以還是要繼續找尋。

我有試過這個品牌深一個色的遮瑕膏，可以實在太紅，如果大家對這個遮瑕膏有興趣可以參閱它們的網頁。

Kanebo Kracie Moisture Mask

Contents: 5 Sheets per box

Price: HKD58.00

According to Sasa's Webpage:

Kracie Collagen Moist Mask gives your skin the vital moisturizing essence. Fragrance and color-free, the mask keeps your skin nourished for a whole day.

how to use it

After cleansing and toning, apply the mask on face for 5 – 15 minutes. (You could apply it for 20 minutes if you feel your skin is particularly dry.) Use 1-2 times a week.

Ingredients

Collagen, Ceramide, Glycerin, Lemon extract

country of origin

Japan

suitable for

all skin type

My Opinion:

I've already finished the whole box, so I guess I'm ready for a review.

Recently I've been trying out several items from the Kanebo lower end series, and Kracie was one of them. In the box it claims that each mask contains 20ml of serum, and I found that after using it for 20 minutes the mask was still very wet, if you compare it with my beauty diary, Kracie definetly have got more serum in it.

After I take off the mask, I'll massage my face and wait for it to dry, with most of the other paper masks that I've tried, I'd ususally rinse it off with water, or wipe it off with a toner, because my skin usually feels sticky after the mask. With Kracie I did no need to rinse it off, once absorbed I'll just apply my usual skincare products.

For HK58.00 this is a good hydrating mask, my only complain is that it doesn't fit my face perfectly, it gets all crinkly while using it. I guess my favorite sheet mask is still Dr. Wu.

適合膚質

任何皮膚

我的意見：

剛剛用完一盒，都是時候向大家回報。

近期都試了好幾款佳麗寶的平價副線產品，而Kracie就是其中一個。於產品包裝中註明每張面膜有20ml的精華素，而我亦發現每次敷完20分鐘面膜後，塊面膜紙都重好濕，與我的美麗日記作比較一定較多精華素。

通常敷完紙面膜後我都會按摩一吓塊面再過水或用爽膚水抺面，因為敷完其他的紙面膜我都會覺得塊面好黏，但用完Kracie後我不覺得黏，等精華素完全吸收後我會直接搽護膚品，無需過水。

我覺得這個HK58.00的保濕面膜不錯，唯一不滿就是不夠貼面。我想我最喜歡的紙面膜還是Dr. Wu.

My Opinion: 

I couldn't locate any information about this product online, and the information that came in the bottle was all in Japanese, so I could only give you my opinion about this product.

With reference to the shampoo, this is just a normal daily shampoo, it's neither hydrating nor drying, and the reason why I have it, is because I was told by my stylist that I should have 3 different shampoos on my bathromm shelf, a hydrating shampoo, a deep cleansing shampoo and a normal one. This particular shampoo falls into the normal category, i.e. mild enough for everyday use.

With reference to the conditioner, this is crappy, it does nothing to my hair, and I'm just stuck with it.

容量：500ml @

價錢：HKD 49.90@

我的意見：

由於無法在網上找到任何有關這個產品的資料，所以這編文章只屬本人的個人意見。

這支洗髮水並沒什麼特別，不會太潤或太乾所以適合每天使用，買它的原因是因為我的髮型師告訴我每個人都應該擁有３支洗髮水，一支保濕，一支深層清潔和一支適合每天使用的洗髮水。這支Kanebo剛好屬於溫和並適合每天使用。

對於這支護髮素，小妹真的無話可說，用了等同沒有用過，都不知該如何處置它....

Kanebo Impress Filter & Corrector

Contents: 15g
Shade: 03
Price: HK$420.00

According to Kanebo's webpage:

A gel-type corrector for areas of concern that evens out rough skin texture.
This is a corrector for skin roughness such as pores and fine lines which evens out the skin texture and provides coverage so it is as smooth as velvet.
The stretchy gel spreads smoothly and adheres snugly to the skin, leaving it with a velvety smoothness that is so tempting to touch.
Contains sebum-absorbing ingredients to prevent shine and makeup from coming off .
Moisturizes the skin to protect against dryness for hours

My Opinion:
This is one of those silicone base primers, and it does what all the others do, blurs out your imperfection. Maybelline, Majolica Majorca even Sana has one, you could get those for a fraction of the price (about HK$100), so in my opinion, there's no point in getting this one.

Coffret D'or CM Eyes

Shade: 01 Orange-Brown Mix
Price: HK$220

The following photos and information has been extracted from Coffret's Webpage:


A - Highlight Color
B - Free Medium Color - Blend these two colors to add color and shimmering light and create a
beautiful depth to your eyes.
C- Shadow Color

1. Using a thick brush, apply the Highlight Color A from under the brow to cover the entire eyelid and brighten the eye area.
2. Using a medium-sized brush, blend the two Free Medium Colors B and gently smudge from the outer eyelid to the inner eyelid area (adjust shine and coloration as desired).
   *Using a thick tip will ensure complete coverage of the eyelid.
3. Using a thin tip, apply the Shadow Color and draw a line along the upper lashes. Also apply a line halfway along the lower lashes from the outer eye.
   
   

   Using the thin tip, apply Free Medium Color B-1 halfway along the lower lashes from the inner eyelid to further enhance color and depth of light
   最後以細眼影棒沾取適量 B-1 打亮眼頭，提升眼睛的深邃明亮感
   
   My Opinion:
   I got this quad last year when I've first started to apply shadows, and I think this is the quad for dummies. The combination of these shades will brighten your eyes while being fairly easy to use.
   When I've first started with this quad I didn't really use the C shade on my lid, because I thought that darker shades were harder to control, but I would wet my brush and apply it as a liner, I actually only need this quad for my eye makeup.

Kanebo Kate Covering Concealer For Under Eyes

Contents: 10g
Price: HK$63

If you have never heard of Kate, it is a lower end brand from Kanebo which are sold in Watson's or Sasa in Hong Kong.

Their stuffs are actually quite good, and I've read loads of raves on their eyeshadows, but since all of their shadows are shimmery (not my taste), I didn't get any.

Let start with their undereye concealer, this concealer only comes in one shade, which is a salmon shade concealer. I mainly use it as a corrector, because even for my nc30 skintone, it is still too light, i guess you have to be really pale to use this alone as a concealer.

In terms of it's texture, it's really creamy and easy to blend, but the coverage and lasting power is only average. I've applied it at 7 in the morning and by lunch time I have to re-apply.

Coffret D'or Make up Powder

Contents:17g
Price: HKS$190 (powder) HK$70 (powder case)

According to Coffret D'or Webpage:

An ultra-thin veil of highly pure translucency. For skin with a long-lasting, classy finish.

Fits skin like a thin veil, giving texture an even appearance and making pores less noticeable for an overall translucent finish. Also absorbs excess sebum to prevent glare.

My opinion:

During winter time, this is the only loose powder that works for me. Even when it's really dry, it won't look cakey on my face, and it does make my pores appear smaller.

Kanebo Lavshuca

Color OR-1
Content: 4.2g
Price:$53

Lavshuca is a lower end brand from Kanebo, and you may find it in Watson's or colormix. I've got mine when they've first landed in HK, and I've actually wanted to get a pink one, but when I got to the store it was all sold out, and this was the only one left, this is a peachy orangy color, with tiny bits of shimmers. I know that not everyone is into orangy blushes, but if you like orange blushes, this is really gorgeous, it is actually my favorite orangy blush and I look really healthy when I wear it during summer.
