H&M Aqua Liquid Eyeliner in Apple Mint Review

June 20, 2016

In the last year or so, H&M released beauty products in their store and this is the first time I’ve tried anything from the brand! I picked this up the H&M Aqua Liquid Eyeliner as part of my H&M haul using the gift card I won! I was initially drawn to this due to the $3 red sale sticker (no shame) and figured it’d be a neat product to review.
Basics
Name: H&M Aqua Liquid Eyeliner
Shade: 10 shades. I have Apple Mint
Price: $7.99- on sale for $3
Amount of Product: 1.7mL
Availability: At H&M stores and online
Packaging: The H&M Aqua Liquid Eyeliner is in a two toned plastic packaging with one side showcasing the color of the shade. All the product is in the colored side while the white side holds the brush. There’s nothing too fancy about the packaging but the clean aesthetics appeals to me very much. The brush is a felt tip and is precise and easy to control.
Color: I chose Apple Mint as I didn’t have a very light eyeliner in my collection. Also who does not love a good mint (brainwashed by Tiffany & Co). The shade is a light mint color with more blue base than green. There is a bit of shimmer in the color but once dried down, it’s not very noticeable.
Formula: The formula is relatively thin and the color is light to medium intensity in pigmentation. It applies a bit better on the eyelid than in the swatch below. It takes about a minute for the formula to dry down and you’d want to avoid touching or moving your eyelids during that time. I did find some inconsistency in the formula when I’d find tiny bits of bundling every once in a while. While I really like the color, I wish there was more intensity. The product was also a bit difficult to remove and tended to crumble together which results in me having to brush off the crumbs all over my cheeks.
Wear Time: I had a bit of trouble with creasing when I first applied as I had opened my eyes while it was still wet. Once it dried however, I was amazed by how well it wore through out the day. After 12 hours of wear, it still looked almost same as when I first applied. I tested rubbing the area and the eyeliner stays put!

Ratings

Color: 6/10
Packaging: 8/10
Longevity: 9/10
Precision: 7/10
Value: 8/10
Overall 38/50 B
I really like the shade and the wear time of this eyeliner. However, I found the pigmentation not up to my expectations. With fun colors like this, you want it to pop and this only gives off medium intensity. At $3 it’s a steal and I’d recommend you to pick it up for those one off looks if you can find it on sale. However at it’s regular price of $7.99, the quality is just not up to par and I’d probably pass on these!

Here are the best things I ate in Japan - restaraunt edition! (do you want to see one for snacks? or do you want to see a worst things I ate in Japan?)
Prices of the specific dish listed below.

1. Kanoko, try their special green tea infused soba or normal soba. I loved the dashi and tempura. Perfect lunch option for after visiting the tori gates. 1,300 Yen 🍜

2. Okonomiyaki Sakaba, you can pick the inside filling and a lot of the options were meat based. The sauce on top is delicious and you may be surprised the inside is mostly cabbage and not flour. 1,000 Yen🍥

3. Udon Bo Osaka, I tried out a cold dipping udon and it was excellent! They have a special yuzu sauce and the tempura is amazing too. 1,250 Yen 🍤

4. Roast Beef Ohno, the most affordable way to eat wagyu! Loved the sauces and nice side veggie dishes too. 1,750 Yen 🥓

5. Fuunji, flavorful dipping ramen with a vending machine to order! 1,400 (with egg + bamboo add on)🍱

6. Maguro Koya, holy crap I'm addicted to Ootoro now. So glad we splurged and got the double portion. We also tried the chutoro sashimi to compare cuts. 3,200 Yen 🍣

Hope this provides some delicious inspo for the best food in Japan!
Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka
