Bison Rose Honey Lip Cream
Friday, January 27th, 2012 | 50 Comments 
Something new I picked up combines my love for the company “Bison” and my love for all things rose. 
Bison’s Rose Honey Lip Cream. It’s a part of their はんなり小町 [Elegant Beauty] lip line. It’s a clear light pink cream stick containing rose extract, honey, and royal jelly extract plus moisturizing vitamins C, E, and A. It’s rose scented and meant to create lips with “elegant shine.”
Though it’s a clear stick I think it adds a tiny subtle hint of pink when applied. The shine is perfect too. Not overly super glossy like a sticky gloss but not a dull matte shine like a chapstick. 
The fragrance is subtle. It reminds me a lot of the fragrance of my Chanel lipstick actually. It’s a slightly perfumed rose but also a little sweet smelling with a slightly sweet, but very subtle, taste. If you’ve ever drank pure rose flavored black tea this will probably remind you of that! The only sort of complaint I’d have is that it needs reapplying often. It wears away quickly but it does leave lips feeling super soft and moisturized. I think it’s a great “chapstick” replacement. It’s not fancy but it’s useful and let’s you enjoy a burst of fragrance.
This line has 5 items in total. The Rose Honey, Peach Honey, Citrus Honey, and Strawberry Honey. There’s also a deep conditioning cream in Apple Honey. I got mine at Yesstyle where they have quite a few from this line. I also so it at my local Japanese market a few weeks ago as well. Seems fairly popular. There are reviews on most of the items at cosme.net

Fits Pink Brown Mascara

Fits “Love Switch” Pink Brown Mascara
Recently I finally purchased this Pink Brown mascara from imomoko on clearance! I had mentioned a loooong time ago I was interested in trying it. I was restocking my bath salts when I saw it was on clearance so I figured, “why not?!” 
This is the official website for it. Love Switch is a whole line of pink brown products.
“Dolly Long” type mascara. It’s aim is to create a sweeter look. The mascara itself is fiber based and waterproof. 
Incredibly easy to remove with warm water and your fingers. The color is subtle but definitely less harsh looking compared to typical black mascara. 
I’m actually really happy to finally pick this up!
The color is a bit darker than expected, but I think it might look lighter if you used a white mascara base like that available through Lancome or L’Oreal. I’m unfortunately out so I couldn’t try it but I think this mascara would be better paired with a lash booster either way. That said, the color is definitely sweet.
I’ve been wearing it to work and on more natural makeup days (like the picture below.) It adds some lengthening but not extreme. They make a curl version I’d love to try next actually! The wand is a bit old school. I’m not so great with the straight wands, I prefer curled. I have to be careful not to accidentally touch my eyelid when applying the mascara due to the long narrow wand. That said, this mascara is pretty good for multiple coats which some fiber mascaras don’t handle well.
I’m happy, 
I’ve been using this mascara a lot! AND it doesn’t smear. Like, AT ALL. Even my Fiberwig smears on me (oily eye type) but I haven’t noticed any flaking or smearing with this pink brown mascara. Quite happy!
