So as I promised, I am going to do a review on a Korean brand in Korea. This brand is probably not well known to most people (it's a new brand). So let me give you a bit of background about it. Son & Park is a new brand of Korean cosmetics, founded by two makeup artists, Son and Park (hence the name -.-) At a business meeting at a cosmetics factory, the owner of the factory gifted me a set of six eye crayons and six lip crayons in one set. So, I brought them back to my aunt's place and decided to try out all colors of each eye and lip crayon :) and at the same time, I found a look that suits me best :D
Price:
it was a gift, so I don't know :(
Price Rating: N/A

Unlike my previous products, these products are less cute and "kawaii" as you call it. These products are more sleek and minimalistic. I really how the colors are labeled, so it makes it easier to tell which one is which. It is easy to use, and the caps don't pop off and easy to twist up and down.
Packaging Rating: 5/5
Product Rating:
a) The Lip Crayons:
(Top to bottom): Sugar Tint, Baby Coral, Honey Nude, Dazzling Tomato, Paprika Orange, Kissy Pink
The Lip Crayons are very similar to Clinique's Chubby Sticks. But the colors are much more better. These are all tinted by the way. The first four tints are not so heavy, so for me, that was good, because I have really red lips. If you have pretty pale lips, you might need to layer it 2 to 3 times to actually see the color. Sugar Tint is extremely light though, which is why it's my favorite. You barely see any color at all, it can pass as a clear crayon and not a pink one. These are not so moisturizing but the color stays on for quite a long time, and the color doesn't come off once I take a single sip of water.
Swatch Test: (In order)
Lip Crayon Rating: 5/5
b) The Eye Crayons:
(From Top To Bottom): Ebony Gray, Sky Mint, Metallic Brown, Twinkle Pink, Star Bright, Sparkling Rose
These eye crayons are basically just an improved version of eye shadow. They glide on my eye lids very smoothly. But my only problem is with the colors. For me, only Metallic Brown actually made me look good, and that's because I have pretty tanned skin. Ebony Gray was a little dark for me, and Sky Mint and the last three looked a little awkward on me (clown like). There is also glitter in the eye crayons, which is quite a nice touch :)

Eye Crayon Rating: 4/5
My Final Thoughts:
I am so thankful I got these as a gift, because these are great :) hopefully if any one wants the last three eye crayons, I can give it to them. The lip crayons are just wonderful, and I know I will be using them quite often :D
Pros: Everything
Cons: Last three eye crayon color looks weird on me (personal preference)
My Look:
I paired the metallic brown eye crayon with the dazzling tomato lip crayon and it looked great! Sorry there is no pic :( the camera didn't show the eye crayon color D:
Hiya, I just want to double check whether the lip and eye crayons can twist up and down like the Clinique chubby sticks. That's because i recently bought another korean brand of eyeliners and they don't twist up so I dont even know how I can keep using them.
