[Review] Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer Baby Glow Balm #02 Natural Beige



I'm actually over the moon that I finally got to purchase this balm :3 thank you Etude and their sweeties club promotions. (Though I do hope that the branches in malaysia would start their membership program like nature republic and tony moly did) 


This the package~~ the box size is quite similar to their bb cushion. 



What I like about the packaging is the shell-like top. It's just really pretteyy~~ ㅋㅋㅋ 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It looks pretty similar to the bb cushion 
Buutt...

Look at that~~ it's all swirly inside :D 

What it really is, it's part volumer and part bb cream. It follows the exact measurement of 2:1 that you need when using bb cream and volumer on its own. 

It's really good because you don't have to waste time estimating how to pump out the correct measurements every time. (The human hand apparently has a mind of its own XD) 

This is the puff given
And here's a closeup (because I recently got some lenses that helps me take macro pictures) :3 
It doesn't absorb the product much compare to normal sponges. So you're not wasting products. 

Before 

After
I say it's really good at covering most freckles and and my dark under eye circle. That is only 1 layer. I suppose 2 layers would cover the face prefectly but I am not a fan of heavy makeup so I usually only apply 1 layer. 

For smell~~ it does have a fragrance to it that stays for a while after you apply it but it didn't bother me much. 

Lasting power~~ I say it lasts for 4-5 hours. Gooooood :3 

Final look


Well, that's it for the review. It's definitely a long one. Thanks for reading xx

[Review] Peri's Tint Lip Crayon by Peripera #Fruity Orange

Everytime I go to my local drugstore, I would always, ALWAYS stop at the makeup area even when I never even intended to buy any. It's like magnetic attraction XD

So, I've always had my eyes on these crayons so finally I decided to get one 

 This is Fruity Orange. They have 2 more shades I think. One is pink and the other is green but changes colour when you apply it on your lips. I was torn between getting green or orange and finally I got orange because I thought I've got enough pinks. 

Swatched on the back of my arm

I think, putting concealer on your lips first would help to show the actual colour of the crayon because it's kinda sheer. I usually apply 3 layers using the apply-blot-reapply method to a get nice and natural look

In a different lighting (not much difference ei) XD

It does say on the box that it will give you juicy lips. Well, it's sheer and shimmery so your lips will look juicy but that won't really last that long 

How I think it would look like at very bright areas. 

Smile~~ :) 

So, my last few opinions 
- based on the glossiness, I say it is mosturising enough.
- doesn't exactly last long like a normal liquid tin which I had expected.
- if you exfoliate beforehand, the lip colour will look better and it won't accencuate your chapped lips. T___T
- fragrance : yes

So, that's ny review for the lip crayon. 
I hope you guys enjoyed it. 
Cheers xx

[Review]Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner in #02 Brown

Hi Hello~ ^______^

I have a lot of eyeliners. A LOT!
But this is my only gel in a pot eyeliner so far and I love it!




So, it claims to be
  • - more intense ( I don't know compare to what but it does have a quite intense colour)
  • - UP to 36-hours lasting (Have not tried this but since I don't wanna wear eyeliner for 36 hours, I'll take its words for it)
  • - Smudge-proof and waterproof (Yes, once it dries it will completely stick to your skin :)) 

This is how it looks like on my palm. Isn't it the cutest. So small.
Don't worry, you'll still have enough product. ^^

It comes with a nice brush but in my opinion, a small angled brush is the best to apply the gel liner.

I got mine in #02 Brown since I didn't want black~



That's a swatch that I did on the back of my hands. (sorry for the fugly hands T___T)
I only swatched one layer...
So, I sprayed it with water and then tried to rub it off with a tissue.
Annnnnnnd~~~ It didn't smudge one bit nor did the colour fade.

oh..I guess you guys can see another line next to my swatch.
That was actually the first swatch I did with the liner and then I tried to remove it with a bit of makeup remover...which didn't help at all. So yeah..now you know how good it is then XD

Don't worry, it'll come off with makeup remover. you just have to work at it a tad bit harder dearies ^^

That's all then.
I hope you guys find this review useful and see you later.

Cheers xx
