Hello girlfriends and welcome to another episode of Tried and Tested.
Today we'll be trying out some ordinary products with a slightly different twist.
This is the Revlon colorstay exactify liquid liner.
So the special thing about this is that it has a wheel tip which is supposed to give you a very clean precise line.
So I've seen wheel tips before and every time I look at it I always think it's going to make things more complicated
but then, it's been around for like a while so I guess it's got a market
and actually, you know what I keep saying that I feel like we've tried something like this before
but then they say they cannot find so maybe it's in my head and it's just like super deja vu,
I don't know what it is but I feel like I've tried this before anyway let's give it a go.
Oh that is a very precise line and that was pretty simple to do.
Let's see if this translates to my eyes.
Okay so they say that you're supposed to do this in one stroke
I don't know whether I can but I'll try... I'll try... I'll try. Okay ready
Oh no that's not good okay.
Okay they said that you can go back and correct it with shorter strokes which is what I'm trying to do now.
Okay with shorter strokes it's sort of like easier to get that clean line that this is
supposed to offer.
What is slightly difficult is getting it to kind of get a clean line, over a sort of like curve.
Okay, let me try on the other eye.
Wow, that's pretty impressive.
So when I did the first eye it was a mess and then on the second eye it like it's a lot cleaner and it was easier
so I think the biggest difference is like for this when I first drew it my eyes were relaxed and for this one, I raised my eyebrow
like...like stretched it out and that gave it like a super clean line!
And what I also realized this is true because with the wheel it rolls right along.
Let me see how it works like for the under-eye.
Can get pretty close to the lash line.
I think you would just have to do like shorter strokes so, please ignore this bottom eye just...just ignore this eye
let's just look at this one.this has like a film over it so it's a more shiny type of liquid liner
This has like a film over it, so it's a more shiny type of liquid liner
and it's very black.
It does make the drawing experience faster.
Like once you get used to it because it just goes straight across.
Look at how clean this wing is, look at how sharp the end is!
Wow very impressed I would give this a very surprised
9 out of 10.
Okay so for the removal it's actually pretty easy to remove it almost just likes balls off yeah so it's really easy to remove
but then right um I thought it was in my head at first but there is a slight burning sensation when I put it on
so I think if you have sensitive eyes that would be something to keep in mind.
I don't know how to adjust according to that because if it is burning then I guess for me it's not...
it would not be a choice.
If your sensitive eyes just be mindful of that.
All right so there are many different types of lip products out there right.
We have liquid lipsticks, bullet lipsticks, tints, uh rouges, powders, creams
wow the list could go on and on and on
and it's very exciting to see new types of lipsticks come out.
Now, this is interesting because it is a lipstick but the shape,
as you can tell is so different.
So this is the romantic bird
matte innovation lipstick.
Okay so how it looks like is this
and the application is very interesting.
So you're supposed to put your lips around it and pull it out.
Maybe they were inspired by how the ancient Chinese used rouge paper.
So this is like a similar application method.
It smells like rose.
It's a very strong rose scent.
Okay let's try this out.
It's a bit of a mess.
A bit of the lipstick just came off here.
First, I would say that I'm really taken by the shape because I think it's so cute
but okay when it comes to actual application,
um, I don't think that this was really uh easy to use at all.
depending on how I pursed my lips around it or how hard I pressed,
it would affect the amount of product that comes off correct.
But what I found was that it was very difficult to find a method of doing it that would give a nice application.
For example, if I'm trying to get more on my top lip,
then I have to really think very hard about how much harder am I pushing on the top lip as opposed to the bottom lip.
And if I push on them both evenly because they're different shapes it affects where the lipstick goes.
I mean we saw just now like it just came out the sides
and then this part was empty that part had nothing you know.
And also the same on both sides so there's no one way of like pursing my lips around it that would help give
an application that's suited to the shape of my lip.
When it was like, okay maybe it's like an ombre thing? We just try and like lightly tap and then move it around,
the product is quite matte and it's very difficult to kind of move it with my lips or with my fingers. It's not like it's a stain
that's easy to move, you know what I mean? So that was also difficult and then if I start using it as a regular lipstick to
touch up on the sides, it also defeats the purpose of having this application method right?
And then the other thing is...
it's just...
it's a lot of area to come into contact with your mouth. I mean you close your mouth around it right, so slightly different from
just putting it like that. Like I feel like the moisture will be a bit more uh, but that's... that's just me.
The colour is alright. I don't think it looks like the colour that it is... here.
Payoff is like... okay. It's alright.
It's a novel idea. I just don't think it's very practical.
I think I will give this a 2 and a half? Because I mean you still can get some use out of it?
It does not match the pictures that they show, so you would have to adjust your expectations
all the way down but it's not completely useless.
This is a liquid eyebrow pen with four tips and it's also helped you create the effect of micro blading.
Ooh.
Oh this is so good because it's like it looks pretty thick but then they've sharpened the tips of each of these uh...
tips.
Oh yeah it looks very fat right? But then you have these small things and they're all sharpened on the top which is great.
It helps you get a really, really fine line.
Like depending on how lightly or how hard you press.
Alrighty let's try this out!
For this you want to like follow the direction of hair growth. I have actually been looking for the perfect one.
In terms of like colour and how it stays over the day, and application.
And right now I am loving this one.
The colour actually looks super natural but
what I really love about this 4-tip thing is it helps you create these really natural lines which
regular liquid eyebrow pen is difficult especially if you're not an artist you know what I mean?
This helps you cover more ground in a much neater fashion. Okay so I don't know whether this matters
to you guys but the thing is I tried to look up the brand, Suake, and I can't find anything about it.
Like we did we did some research, we couldn't find a website, we don't know where it's from.
And all of that, so this brings us back to an older episode where I think maybe you need to use
your own discretion to see if there's something that you want to try. I think just looking at it
I really like this.
I think I would give this a 9, or a 10 even out of 10.
But, and it's a big but, I don't know where this brand is from and I feel like knowing would give me peace of mind.
This is a 3-in-1 cleansing tea bag from Laneige. So this looks like a real tea bag and
inside there are actual tea leaves. What they've also added is a powder, like a face wash. So this one is
supposed to be used like an actual tea bag in a way. You dip this into hot water or cold water
and then after that you rub it in between your hands, you get the foam, you use the foam to
wash your face. And if you want to do exfoliation, you can use the tea bag itself to do some light exfoliation.
Alright so they say that you can use this as a mask but it's kind of like tiny
so I think it's more of a targeted mask, so maybe on a specific dry patch. Or you get a few of this
and then put it all over your face. When you use it you're supposed to remove this string and then we
dip it in here. Now you're supposed to wrap the bag and form it up. Oh okay, it lathers up pretty nicely.
Okay, so it's a foam but it actually feels quite creamy once you put it on.
It feels very gentle
Okay I think it does a really nice job of cleansing. I mean I'm gonna be a bit picky,
I do find it a little bit fussy to have to like foam it up and it's also not the easiest to foam.
Right after I washed it, it felt quite moisturised, but after about like five minutes, I'm starting to
feel like it's actually feeling a little bit dry. But it's not tight. But it does feel like a pretty deep cleanse.
So it can also be used as a physical exfoliator in terms I can like use this directly
to rub it on my face. Also it's got an enzyme inside that helps to gently like exfoliate your skin.
Okay you know how there are some cotton pads that have an exfoliating side? It feels a little bit like that,
maybe almost thinner.
I will say that on the second time around when I was washing it,
it felt a little bit bite-y. Maybe it's not suited for my skin type. It doesn't feel super harsh
but it's not very, very gentle either. So what I do like about this is the smell, it smells nice
and I also quite like the texture of the foam that it creates. I actually wasn't expecting
it to feel so nice also because it felt like there was very little foam in my hand.
But that little bit of foam went a long way so that's quite nice. What I didn't quite like about
it is that it's very fussy to use. And then also if you want to use this as a physical exfoliator,
it's hard to hold on to it. And then as a mask, based on like what I feel, like it doesn't feel
like a moisturising mask or anything so I'm not sure what kind of mask this is for.
Maybe a spot treatment? I mean overall, I'm not a huge fan. I think I would give this a 4?
I think it's a cute idea but I feel like the benefits don't really outweigh the hassle of it.
This is a Gentle Exfoliating Mousse from Ciaoke and it's interesting because when you think of
exfoliants, you don't necessarily think of a mousse. So this is a gentle one that uses soapberry enzyme.
Let's try this out! So inside it looks like... oh so cute. Yeah it looks like a regular mousse.
A bit more like a marshmallow mousse. It's got a slight like artificial berry scent.
So I've removed my makeup, now I'm going to try it on the left side of my face.
Oh, that's so weird.
So from a mousse, it very quickly almost like hardens into this and it
starts like collecting together. I can't tell if it's like my skin or whether it's just
like the product you know what I mean? Okay so I'm gonna clean this off. It's actually a little bit sticky.
When I first washed it off, I do recall like seeing just a little bit of redness on this area.
It's kind of calmed down a bit now and my skin right now is kind of feeling a little bit dry?
So I'm not sure, I mean I know it's an exfoliant but I don't think that your face is supposed to
feel so dry after like using stuff. So I don't know whether it's because it's not suitable for my skin,
or whether it's actually actually not that gentle. But I will say that the process did feel gentle.
I feel like the process of using it wasn't the most comfortable. Just because it was just so
sticky and my hands were getting all so sticky and it was actually a little bit difficult to wash off.
Because it was just like all these little bits and it adhered to the skin quite a bit so it wasn't
the user experience wasn't great. But overall I guess it does exfoliate.
But my skin is feeling a little bit tight. So maybe it could work on certain skin types?
It is rather gentle but overall in terms of the way that it feels on my skin and the whole washing off,
and how my skin feels after, I would give this like a 4 out of 10?
Yeah.
There are many wristbands out there for people to put their phones on when they do sports but this one is slightly different
because it can rotate 360 degrees. So it comes with two straps, one is a smaller one for your
wrist and this is the one for your arm. And then you can adjust how tight you want it to be.
You would put this on your phone. I like that this is elastic because you know what my phone is pretty
big and sometimes they're like some phone clips that can't fit so it's pretty easy to get this on.
Then I would slide this into this. I can turn it wherever I want.
It's pretty secure. Yeah I guess maybe this is like for people when they're riding their bicycle and like you're not
moving so much and then you have something here, well that's pretty handy. Okay so I have seen bands
where you can put your phone in and I realise that they're usually quite flush against like your
body, whereas this one because of the 360 function, is actually a bit away from your arm.
So I feel like this almost makes it a little bit more unstable because there's a bit of a distance the
possibility of it getting caught on something or knocking into something else just feels
that much higher, just a little bit higher you know I mean? Feels like it is secure but just looking
at the way that it's set up I would get worried. Just because there's that whole 360 thing it's
attached by this thing here, like if something malfunctions, it feels like it could easily break off.
My phone is important to me and like if it doesn't feel secure, I don't feel so secure.
That's terrible!
Here also, I'm not sure what the 360 would be for. But I think it's more for when you're
using it on your wrist. So I think I would give this a 5 out of 10. Oh my god, do you know who
would be a great person to try this out? Tyen! Tyen would be great to like test it out. Tyen! ~
Would you like to test this out for us?
Hey Shu! No problem. So I tried out the armband first and
if I'm being completely honest, it did take me a while for me to assemble the
straps. I did try out this armband and I did a couple of jogs, a couple of jumping jacks,
and I've got to say that it's very secure. Like my phone does not move at all. This contraption is
great because it, I don't feel like it's gonna slip off so yeah. Overall if you're using it for jogging
and for working out at the gym, I think it's good. The only downside to it is that I don't really
know when I would need to rotate my phone? So I questioned the functionality of this 360 because
I don't think I would ever need to like look at my screen if I was running or working out you know.
So I feel that this rotation device is a bit superfluous for that reason. And another thing is that I have
tried straps before with the actual sleeve and your phone goes into sleeves and I think
that those are a lot more secure. And I think you can probably get them for around the same price.
Even though these rubber bands are pretty secure. And I also tried it with the wristband which I
don't recommend that you use because my phone is already so heavy and it was uncomfortable to use.
Not secure, I don't recommend that you use for the armband purposes. But for the wrist, it does
the job, so if I were to give it a rating, I'll probably only give it 1 or 2 stars?
I know I hate giving negative ratings. I just don't like being negative, but it does not, it's not up to
standards for me and I think that you can get other devices you know with the actual sleeve
which are a lot more secure for you at about the same price so yeah. And the design and the overall
assembly was just not the most pleasant experience so overall, I'd say I give it like 2 out of 5.
