Skinfood Choco Eyeline Jam in: Choco Dip Black & Choco Dip Mocha Review & Swatch

Another Skinfood review:

I got the Skinfood Choco Eyeline Jam in 2 colors : Choco Dip Black & Choco Dip Mocha.
I believe they have a total of 3 colors available , Satin Brown is the 3rd color.
It's a cream eyeliner or "soft-gel eyeliner" - according to the site, the first cream eyeliner I've ever tried. I usually kept to liquid eyeliners. It's meant to give a nice matte finish.

The packaging is a cute, jam - jar inspired, pot made of glass.
Sadly it does not come with a brush unlike most cream or gel eyeliners, so you need a tiny smudge brush, a slanted brush , or any small precise brush you are comfortable with.

These actually work pretty well and stay on for awhile. It usually stay on until I decide to take it off at the end of the day. I always wear eyeshadow primer so that might contribute to how long it lasts.

Here are some pics to show you the packaging:

It should be sealed when you receive it

Date on the bottom is manufacturing date
not expiration date.


The 2 colors look similar until you do a side by side comparison.
The color I didn't get is a much lighter color called Satin Brown

I used a small brush to swatch the eye liners on my hand
It applies smooth, well depending on the brush you use,
but its nice n creamy I'll update if it dries out on me.

nice n matte, if that's what you're looking for

Pros:
Creamy
Lots of product (value)
nice packaging
Good application
Long lasting

Cons:
No brush
Hard to find outside of Asia
Cost more out of Asia
Comes in only 3 colors


I am currently using these for everyday make up
and I am very satisfied although if it's a special/ important occasion
I would buy a waterproof eyeliner.
I am very happy to have these as my first cream eyeliners.

EYEKO Fat balm Strawberry Minty Raspberry past Review & Swatch

I've had Eyeko Fat balms for awhile now, and I'm sure most of you have heard of them.
They are Fat lip balms that can also be used on cheeks. Containing Jojoba to help nourish lips and contains no petrochemical.

These go for about $8 plus shipping on their site
To my surprise Eyeko was once sold at Sephora, I'm not exactly sure why they stopped

They also have a new design on their packaging.
So if you purchase one with the old design it probably isn't fresh.

It comes in 3 flavors
Minty, Strawberry, & Raspberry.









The colors are sheer, Minty is an iridescent pink, Strawberry is red, Raspberry to me looks brown with a little bit of purple.
They are scented and I think the minty one is a little bit flavored.
I like the Minty one the best for color & flavor. I used Strawberry from time to time.
The Raspberry one is too dark for me and I usually don't use dark colors for my lips.

I don't like using these on my cheeks it feels a bit heavy n greasy, unless you use a light layer and really blend.

If you plan on getting just one I would recommend the minty one for the fresh feeling on your lips or the Strawberry one if your looking for a cheek tint too.
