Hi Cuties~ how are your Summer break going so far? I am back (after few weeks) with another review, this time I would be reviewing Nature Republic's Magic Remover For Mascara!!! In this hot weather, you would of course, have something to take off your mascara at the end of the day!! I would recommend this product if you love to wear mascara that are strong and hard to take off! I had to finally review this because I am currently on my third bottle of this mascara remover and I am loving it! The line Magic Remover provide a variety of make up removing products for the whole face and even point make up such as the eyes and lips. Here is a picture of how the product looks like~
Below is a picture of myself using the remover. I removed my makeup on the left side of the eye only.
PRO:
You don't need a lot to take off mascara, can put some on a cotton pad and it will take off mascara on both sides.
Could take off even gel and liquid eyeliner and even eyeshadows! (I love it because I put it on a cotton pad and I take all my eye makeup off all in one go!)
One bottle could last about 3-4 months depending on how often you put on makeup.
CON:
If you put too much oil on the cotton pad, it will go in your eyes and might sting a bit.
You have to shake it before using it or the oils wouldn't mix, and it won't be as strong to take off makeup!
COST:
Around $5.90 in Hawaii

Hello Cuties~ how have you guys been this week? Today I have a mask to review!! yayyy!!! I love masking, it makes me feel naturally pretty.
Mask Type: Hydrogel
Brand: Nature Republic Line: Given By Nature Name: Lavender Purpose: Hydration and firming Duration: 20 minutes
PROS:
I love the gel type because it provide enough hydration for the face without making it extra sticky.
The lavender extracts helps firm the face.
The smell is not that strong, it is refreshing and soothing.
CONS:
Sometimes the liquid solution goes into the skin fast so the mask felt dried and slips off.
COST:
Around $2.90 without tax in Hawaii
Also I have another announcement to make! I am very excited to launch my official YouTube account to share with you guys adventures in Hawaii and this is the channel I will be posting review products and tutorials! But I will also be updating on this blog as well! Please Subscribe and follow me to the island of paradise! KaitatoDiaries' YouTube Channel!!!

Hi guys! I am so excited to review my first product review from Etude House! They do not have a store in Hawaii yet, so I am thrilled that I actually got something from their store in Korea. I am a big fan of accessories of all kinds, especially with skincare and makeup tools! I had been out of face wash sponges so I decided to purchase this wonderful tool from Etude House, the design seems cute and easy to use, so why not?
PRO:
You could use any facial cleanser you wanted, and it will turn it into foams!!
It came with a holder, so that is convenient to store the brush after washing the face.
There are tiny bristles so that really gets into the pores and deep cleans the skin.
Every time after I used this brush, my skin felt really clean and it felt almost "exfoliated".
There are little holes on the bottom, which gives air circulation while drying the brush.
CON:
If you put too much cleanser on the brush, you will have an overflow of foam, which will get all over your arms!!
Over time of use, the bristles will not be as pointy as a new one.
Will I repurchase this?
-Yes, I would probably buy for my friends as well!!

Hello Cuties~ how have you guys been? today I will be reviewing Nature Republic's Hawaiian Fresh Seaweed Peel-off!!! I bought this a long time ago and have used it a while too so I decided to do a review on it. I have not tried anything mask that are peel offs, which means that when put on the face, its pasty looking and after a while it dried up into a sheet and then just peel it off. The Hawaiian Fresh line in general is very good for helping with the pores. Below are some pictures showing the product and how it looks like on the skin! I use this product whenever I felt like my skin have a lot of impurities on them.
There are no instruction to put this product on exactly, so I can give some tips for you!
Squeeze some of the product on to your fingers then spread it all over the forehead, then cheeks, the nose, etc.
Make the layer to be a little thin.
When you put it on, don't rub it around your skin, just slowly spread the product around enough to cover the whole face.
Make sure all the products connects, so when it dries, it'll be easier to take it off all in one piece. (with this method, it doesn't take time to peel all of them off and it's easy to dispose)
PROS:
The product is a peel off- which is fun to play with.
The seaweed could help with lifting the impurities in the pores and tighten them too.
It also makes the skin feel really soft after.
CONS:
It will get a little messy on the fingers.
There are not enough product to last more than 20 applications for the whole face. So I recommend this once a week or once a month.
If you put on a thick layer, it will take a longer time to dry!
Hello Cuties! I am very excited for today's review, because I will be reviewing Nature Republic's Gold Brown Hair Color Cream. I had always been a fan of brown hair colors so I decided to try their lightest hair dye, which is the gold brown one. Below is how it looks like with the box, the front have the beautiful Taeyeon with her gold brown hair, and on the side includes the results of the color depending on your own hair color. There includes English direction too in case you do not know the steps to mixing your solutions.
Includes: Directions, color cream, color solution, plastic apron, gloves, and treatment pack
The directions are fairly simple; first take #1 (the tube) and squirt it all inside #2 (the bottle). After that, you can shake the bottle for about two minutes then start applying it to your hair.
On the top shows that my hair was dark/ natural brown, and how it turns out after I colored my hair. PROS:
I liked that it includes gloves, apron, and free treatment.
The ingredients for this hair dye is mostly natural so it won't damage the hair as much.
Smells fruity instead of chemicals.
Color does not fade fast, will last about 5-6 months.
CONS:
It does not cover most of my hair, since I have a lot of hair so some hair is still dark brown.
COST:
around $7.90

Thanks for reading Cuties~! I'll be back for more reviews!
Good afternoon Cuties~! It is day one of Spring break for us and I am happy that I could finally upload another post to review!! On this hot break, I decided to give my foot a chance to relax and enjoy its own beauty. How am I going to do that you say? I had decided to try Tony Moly's changing magic foot peeling shoes. I had heard so many reviews on this but I never get to try them. They are a pair of sheets looking socks that you just slip onto your feet. Their main purpose is to peel all the dead skin or calluses off of your feet in a few days.
This is how it looks like on my feet and the results of the mask.
PRO:
It is shaped like a sock so it is perfect to move around in.
The solutions are held inside so nothing spills on the outside.
It works well, it actually made my foot peel off a lot of skin.
CON:
The inside with the solution is slippery so you have to be careful when you walk around.
It does not have quick results, but it will take days for it to see results.
COST:
Around $4 in Hawaii PHOENIX \m/ UPDATE:
SPARK's Vocal Cover on T-ARA and Davichi's We Were In Love
Hey Cuties! long time no post! sorry about that! However, I am back with another review, but this time it is of a foundation. I am a big fan of BB creams so far ever since I discovered it in my high school days! I love it because it doesn't harm my skin and it have all these great benefits that could help my skin, escpecially their ability of coverage! When I first used a BB cream from The Face Shop, I am in love since it covered my blemishes and nastay things. This time I am here trying Tony Moly's Prestige Carat SmartAB BB cream. This BB cream is different from all the other BB creams that I had tried before because it is not as liquidy but instead more of a balm. Below is a picture of the packaging ( I love it because it is purple and it is so shiny!) and how it looks like on the inside, also how it looks like on my skin.
SPF30 PA++
PROS:
It have a great coverage.
The colors are pigmented, so it goes on smooth.
It came with a vibrating brush for an even finish and application, also an extra sponge to change.
It have SPF30++ which is great since I live in Hawaii.
The balm have a lot so I think it will last me for about a year if I use it everyday.
CONS:
I have dry skin on some areas, so the balm made it more noticeable that my skin is flaky.
Since it is a balm formula, it does not provide me enough moisture throughout the day.
This is my first time using a vibrating brush, so I accidently put a lot on during my first trial, so I think you need a precision of how much you would need, or else you will look pale.
COST:
I'm not sure how much this cost, since someone gave this to me as a gift.
However, it is around $50.85 on Amazon!!
This is the result of my makeup with the balm!
PHOENIX \m/ UPDATE:
This month is February, the month of love! Phoenix had put together some dance covers and vocal covers for you guys to enjoy! So look forward for more covers from them and support! Go to their youtube channel for more covers!~
Hello Cuties~ Sorry I have not been uploading for awhile, but today I am back with a cosmetic makeup review. Today I will review Nature Republic's Botanical Crystal Shadow #2 in Ruby Pink. I am a big fan of shimmery eye shadows, since they make my eyelids pop with color. Recently I have been trying the shimmery eye shadow, which came in a cute little tube. I am glad that it came with a sponge brush as an applicator, this makes applying much easier. Below I did a swatch of the eye shadow on my hand, it looks very smooth and pigmented.
PRO:
It had a brush for easy application.
The amount that it come with would last for months.
The color is pigmented, so if you apply a light layer, it would have a very natural shimmer.
CON:
The glittery texture does not stick to my eyelids for a very long time, I advise you guys to use a primer beforehand.
I would not use this daily, but occasionally when I want to put some colors on my eyelids.
COST:
About $5-6

After School Red's Into the Night Sky (Dance Cover)
Hey Cuties~! how have you been? School have started for most of you and me too. It is time to try a new eyeliner for a natural definition of the eye. Today I will be posting about The Face Shop's Face It Extreme Brush Eyeliner Pen. I have been experiencing with different types of eyeliners before, but I find eyeliners with a thin brush to be easier to use. Recently I have been using brown eyeliners instead of black because it has a natural tone to it, and find black eyeliners to be a little harsh, which is good for going out and partying. I have been using this eyeliner for a while, and I am in love! Here is a picture of the eyeliner and how thin it is on my eyelids! I think it is perfect for everyday eyeliner!
PROS;
It is a liquid brush eyeliner for easy application.
It is thin, so you can control the length of the eyeliner.
It is long lasting.
CONS:
It might smudge a little.
Sometimes when I apply, the ink does not come out as well, so I have to go over a few coats.
COST: Around $10 in Hawaii
Thank you so much for reading Cuties~! Have a nice day!
Hey Cuties! Today I am going to review Nature Republic's By Flower Auto Eyebrow #2 in Brown. Since My eyebrows are naturally hairless, I wanted to use something to fill them in to look nice and neat. I want to give them definition without making them look fake. I like this eyebrow pencil because I do not have to sharpen it and just twist it to get more.
Pros:
Very nice texture, which is very smooth.
It comes with a brush so you can comb through your eyebrows.
It is an auto-eyebrow pencil so no sharpener involved!
The length of the color pencil is very long, so it will last you through a long time.
Cons:
The tip of the pencil is sharp at the start, once you use more, it becomes less sharp.
Not waterproof!
COST:
Cost around $3.90 in Hawai'i

Thank you very much for reading today's review Cuties~!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays Cuties!~ long time no post due to finals and studying! but I am glad that we are back. According to the schedule, I was supposed to post yesterday, but due to issues, I was not able to. Today I will review to you the tea tree aqua gel mask from Nature Republic. First of all, tea tree is a very important ingredient when it comes to acne or trouble skin, since it will help with reducing inflammation and soothes the redness on the skin.
I had tried the cotton texture sheet masks before, but not much of the gel type. This was the first time I tried it and it was interesting. If you have never heard or saw the gel masks before, here is a quick overview of the difference between the two. > Cotton Mask Sheet vs. Gel Mask Sheet (covered by the lovely Jessica <3 )
How it looks like with it on.
PRO:
It helps with the benefits of acne and dry skin.
it is separated into upper half and bottom half so it is easier to adjust to individual faces.
Helps soothing and moisturising the face.
CON:
The gel is covered in plastic wraps so it won't damage the gel, but it takes a while to take the mask out.
It has a lot of solution, so when I put it on my whole hand is all wet.
COST:
$2.90 before tax in Hawai'i

HEYYYY Cuties! How was your Halloween week? did you went crazy or trick-or-treat with your friends and family? I am here with yet another pore/ blackhead review. Today we have Nature Republic's Bamboo and Charcoal Pore Pack, which recently Nature Republic have this. Ever since I saw this commercial with EXO, I wanted to try it out. Check it out below:
This pore pack would help with exfoliating the pores, making your pores clean from black heads, whiteheads, and impurities. The man ingredients would be Charcoal and Bamboo for both steps.
There are two steps involved in this process:
1) Pour some of step 1 solution into the cotton nose strips included and time for 10-15 minutes.
2) Put the clay on the the nose or T-zone and spread according to the nose shape, peel it off until it is dried.
Instructions in Korean; but you can see the time limits for each step
Left: with the cotton strip on
Right: The results after the clay dried
PRO:
takes off the black and white heads making my nose cleaner
Have a pleasant fragrance
It is affordable
CON:
Takes up time for two steps
if clay isn't spread equally, you will have leftover clay on your nose
COST: about $8~ in Hawai'i
PHOENIX \m/ DANCE UPDATE

Hey Cuties~ long time no update! sorry for the late update due to mid-term week again! but I am back today with another review of Nature Republic's Aqua Super Max White C Luminous Ampoule. What this like do is to hydrate the face while brightening it. This is how the product looks like:
I really like the dropper, which makes things easier to squirt out the products. What is different about this product is that the main ingredient is made out of Camu Camu, which is also known as the sea grape. I have heard that there is a lot of sea grapes in Hawai'i. But the sea grape have a stronger brightening property than vitamin C from a lemon.
This is a sample of a droplet; its luminous glow looks very vibrant, yet when applied on the hand it blends nicely causing a small brightening glow.
OVERALL:
I like this product so far, since I just bought it a few days ago and decided to give it a try. I usually put this at night because that is the most important time to treat your skin. I don't put it during the day, or the sun will dry out the product. If I do put it during the day, I would put sun block to prevent it from drying. I always wake up with a clear face that felt hydrated.
Hey Cuties and kpop fans! Be aware of next week when they update their channel about their Halloween special dance covers! They had worked very hard for this, so enjoy and please subscribe to their Facebook and YouTube Channel~! [information could be found in the Phoenix Tab]
Good evening my Cuties~ I apologize for uploading late due to studying for my mid-terms, but I won't let you guys down! So here I am with a new review pertaining to The Face Shop's Design My Eyebrows in the shade of brown. I am sure a lot of people have seen review on this eyebrow pencil, but it is so good that even I want to review it. I am a big fan of eyebrow products, since I don't have much eyebrow hair myself. I wanted my eyebrow to be nicely shaped and full, so I decided to try this pencil. This eyebrow pencil is very convenient, since it is an auto pencil, so it does not have to be sharpen when the tip becomes dull. I also find it useful to have an eyebrow brush on the other side of the tip, so I could blend the color in, causing a natural effect.
This is my eyebrows when I do not color them in. The second picture shows that only one side of my eyebrows are filled in. (Sorry about my dark circles and eye bags, it is due to the lack of sleep) Below is a picture of me with both eyebrows filled in, pretty natural right?
PROS:
It does not cost much, Hawai'i is around $4~5
It fills in the eyebrows naturally
Comes with a brush
Does not have to sharpen it
CONS:
It is straight edged, so it depends if it is convenient for the user according to their eyebrow shapes.
Clumps a little when pressure was applied, it also makes it dark looking
