[Review] Etude House BIG Concealer Skin Fit Pro in Natural Peach

Hi lovelies,

This post would be about the new Concealer from Etude House, the skin fit concealer.
I assume skin fit, it will fit to your skin and looks natural 😏

They have a lot shades for this concealer line and they also have corrector. Mine would be categorised under corrector as is more of a light salmon colour. The sole purpose of me buying this was because I was aiming to find a corrector that can hide my dark circles and which I can use it on it’s own without a foundation on top. I waited for quite a while for this colour to arrive and when it finally, I snatched it immediately. Getting a discount too...EH have a lot of discounts and promotions 😍

Swatch and how I apply
Okay, it hides the dark circle (yes). Off camera, it looks very natural and you can’t see any dark circles.
It does creases in any fine lines you have, so you need to blend and set it well to avoid them.

Overall, I love this product and I always use it when I don’t want to use heavy makeup. My normal makeup routine is sunscreen, concealer and powder. That’s enough to get me through the day...
Lonegvity-wise, if you don’t sweat a lot daily, you will find this concealer staying for the entire day.
Would definitely get this again after I run out.

Price is RM40 but you often find Etude House with discounts. I actually got mine for RM30 because there was a promotion going on at that time.
Hope you enjoy this blog post and see you guys next time ^^

Cheers, xx

[Review] Revlon Kiss Cushion Lip Tint in 260 Crimson Feels

Hi lovelies,

This post will be about the new just recently released lip tint from Revlon. Woohoooo
They released two types, one is more like a velvet type matte lip tint and this one is more like a balmy lip tint.


The design reminds me of the previously popular Lancôme Juicy Shaker. I think that was smaller but with a bigger cushion applicator and you can shake it *that’s the best part 😆* I saw some videos of the juicy shaker and I think the colour payoff of the revlon tint is better, *I think 🤔🤔* and the price is marginally cheaper of course. How you get the product out, is by twisting the area near the bottom of the applicator (the one with revlon written around it), twist it a few times until the product comes out and you apply.

Swatches


♥︎♥︎♥︎
It’s a very pretty light red colour. How I apply it is by swiping it a few time on my lips until I get the colour that I want. You can go darker or lighter by how many times you swipe. ♥️

To me, it’s like a coloured lip balm with just good enough staining power. There will some staining but not that strong. If you’re looking for a hydrating lip tint, I think this would be a good choice.
Longevity-wise, not that long but it’s fun to apply. *Careful not to apply too roughly as it may go outside your lip area because of the cushion applicator* 😓

Price is RM39.90 but I got it RM20+ after discount. So keep a lookout or them this end of the year.

Cheers, xx

[Review] Etude House Dear Darling Water Gel Tint in RD307 Watermelon Red

Hi lovelies,

I’ve had this product for quite a long time already and I thought I should write up some of my thoughts about it.
The Dear Darling Tint has long been a fan favourite because of the cute design. It looks like an ice cream popsicle 😍😍








Look at that cute design! They thought it all UwU
They have another soda bottle design but I haven’t seen those at the store in my place yet. Maybe they’re limited edition or maybe I didn’t look for it better haha
The application tip is small but enough for the lips ^^. As you can slightly observe, the formula is quite runny but don’t be fooled, it is small but strong.

Here are some swatches 

Look at that stain!!

Bare Lips

Beautiful

Look at how strong that stain is and I only left it for a few minutes yea. Wooo >3> It also has a sweet fruity smell that I like. Suits the concept very well
Because of the runny formula, you’re gonna have to spread it a few times to get the colour opacity that you want but once it’s there, it stays. 🤩🤩
I do have a problem with any tint not staining my upper lip so much but I think a lot of people have that problem 🤔
Anyho, the longevity is very good and can survive through drinks and a meal.

I don’t remember the price but I don’t think it was that expensive though.
You can find it your nearest Etude House flagship store or online.
Hope you enjoy the review and see you guys next time.

Cheers, xx

[Review] MAC Versicolour Stain In Always and Forever

Hi Lovelies,

Today I’ll be giving a bit of my thoughts on the Versicolour stain.
There a few other types of colours for this line.
The one that I have at the moment  is called Always and Forever.



The colour of this stain looks very orang because of the lighting but it’s actually quite light when swatched on the hand.


I would say the colour is more of a pinkish orange. I think MAC has two versions in the versicolour series because one of them is promoted as a cream stain and the other is just a stain. You will not find this shade in the versicolour stain series but instead it will be in the versicolour cream series  Sorry my bad, this one is the versicolour stain, not the versicolour cream stain. And I also think they spell it as versicolor. This is my first versicolour so I won’t be able to compare the two yea. 
I do have a wishlist to get the other shades like; Stuck in Love, Like Candy and No Interruptions but they do cost a lot so it will be a slow process. 😅😅 *Edit: Like Candy is on it’s way liao* yass

Honestly when I looked at the colour, I thought it would turn out very light on me. Like ridiculously pale, but instead it turned into a nice shade of dark orangery colour on lips. Granted that my lips are quite pale yea. So I was pleasantly surprised to see the colour not washing me out and it actually makes me look quite healthy because of the gloss. 



Here is a lip swatch of the product on my lips. Looks pretty right? Not bad not bad 🥳 
The gloss stays for quite some time but will disappear a bit when you drink and would be gone after you eat but the there will be a stain left on your lips so you that’s a plus for me. I sometimes forget to touch up my lips after eating, which is why I always fall for lip products that say they last very long. 


And that’s it for my short review. Hope you guys like it and keep a lookout for this lip stain out there. I only have one MAC counter in my city and they don’t have these in stock at all. The only place you can buy is online or you go the main city. *sigh* 😓

The price on the website is RM104 currently but your Sephora carries MAC then have a try there. You might get some member discounts since the holidays is around the corner.
Till next time, xx~

[Review] A’pieu Lip Tint (Juicy Pang RD01&BE01/ Water Light RD03)

Hi lovelies,

Today’s gonna be about 어퓨 and their lip tints.
They do have a wide variety of lip tints, there are matte ones, moussey types and glossy types.
The ones I have are all from the glossy lines because I have too many matte lip tints. (For now)
Because I needed a cover for the post 😂


Bare lips



Juicy Pang Tint in BE01(무심결에무화과)



I bought this because I was enticed by the pictures they had on instagram. Deep inside, I had a bad feeling that it wouldn’t show up on my lips but they somehow looked very okay.
It was a subtle orange that would look nice on very pale skin. I usually use this to top matte lip tints to avoid my lips from drying too much. There is a slight tint but sometimes it’s barely noticable.

Juicy Pang Tint RD01 (넌나에게사과)


This is my favourite so far. The red is not a really strong but more like a pinkish red. It makes my face look very lively and youthful. The gloss stays for a long time even after I drink but it disappears a bit after I eat. Eventhough the gloss is gone, the tint left behind is really nice and pretty. 
The longevity is applaudable as well as it actually stayed on from 8am to 6pm, for me. Even afer my chicken rice lunch. I reapplied a bit around 4pm to get some gloss but not so much because there was already a stain. 
Combination with BE01 allows you to make pretty gradation lips.

Gradation with Juicy Pang Tint BE01 and RD01 in the middle

Water Light Tint RD03 (쌉싸름한장미)



This would be the very first A’pieu product that I tried from the brand. I was looking for it because I heard it’s a great dupe for Dior Lip Tattoo. I was not disappointed with this tint at all. Totally love it!
The colour is very natural looking, like a MLBB colour. Compared to Juicy Pang, the texture if this tint is less viscous and true like the name, seems to be a bit watery but it doesn’t run everywhere. 

Hand Swatch


Left for a few minutes and wiped with a wet tissue
As you can see, the tint really can stain even the light coloured BE01.
What I like about the lip tints is that there are not drying at all, my lips actually feel quite moist.
I also love the smell of these tints, they smell like berries I think or something sweet.
Another pro is that it’s quite inexpensive and members usually get 5%. For the work that these tints do, I say they’re worth every penny.

Retail price is RM41. You can get them at your local A’pieu store or online (Althea/ Hermo)

For me, there are not really cons for these tints.
Hope this is useful for you guys. 
Thanks for reading and see you guys later.
xoxo 👶

[Review] Innisfree My Lip Balm in 07 Dried Rose Tea

Hi lovelies, 

Sorry, I couldn’t post more often but I’ve been trying out a lot of products over these times and I have discovered some products that I like and don’t. 
This is one of the products that I do like ^^

It’s the Innisfree My Lip Balm in Dried Rose Tea.

I came across this whilst looking for coloured lip balms as I was going through a period of time where my lips were chapping really bad and I couldn’t use lipsticks. *cry cry* T____T 
The main ingredient would be the Tea Complex as all the other varieties had ‘tea’ in their name. Hoho


Positive
- The texture was smooth and not runny at all (You do not want lip products running down your lips yea *true story*)👶
- It was hydrating
- Longevity was not bad for a lip balm. 
- Does not look oily.
- Had a slight tinge colour so I don’t look dead. On the website, it says the balm can find the tone and temperature of your lips so I guess the colour would be slightly different for each person.

Negative
- The applicator can be a bit messy. I tend to wipe it clean after using but when I open it again, it would be messed up. There’s a small prick like tip in the cover that is supposed to prevent the product from getting out but it also pushes out the excess product that I pushed when I applied prior. 
(From my long ranting, it’s just a technical error and I just like to point it out) *for fun* hehehe
- The fragrance
It smells like dried rose/ potpourri which I’m not a big fan of. I knew it when I bought the lip balm but luckily it goes away after a while.  
- A bit expensive



Lip swatch


Overall, fragrance aside it’s a pretty good lip balm and I like the colour. There are some variety of colours including a clear one. I would love to try the other ones if they smell better. Haha
I took dried rose because of the colour.

Price is RM47 on the official website.

I hope you guys enjoy the review.
xoxo 😚

[Review] Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay Foundation #2C0 Cool Vanilla

Hi Lovelies,

I'm back again with another foundation review. I have so many foundations that I'm loving right and each one serves a different purpose so I love them all!! Stay tuned for more in the future.

For this post, I'm going to review the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay Foundation in the shade 2C0 Cool Vanilla. I know there's a lot of hype for this foundation so I won't say much about it. It's already quite popular on its own already.

I don't have a lot of pictures but I'll make the descriptions short and sweet ^^

Verdict

 Coverage

Honestly I had trouble blending this foundation because I didn't realized how fast it dries so my face had blotches when I saw it in the sunlight. gahhh
So instead of using a beauty blender, I decided to use a brush because I can blend it faster but you need to build up the foundation to completely cover the skin. I also realised I can blend it well using my fingers..lewl. Maybe it's just me `\(I__I)/'
But I don't do full cover foundation as I like to still look like I barely wear foundation. So just one layer :)
 A single layer would be enough to even out my skin blur out my blemishes and dark eye circles but it definitely won't completely cover them. Sometimes if you add another layer it looks a bit unnatural and cakey....but if you want full coverage, go ahead and apply another layer. AFTER the first layer has dried down.

Lasting-power

One word. AWESOME. Just awesome!
The staying power is one of the best I've had. It stayed through my intense dance classes and my Vietnam trip. If you spray some fixing spray it would be much much better.

This is also a plus~~ it didn't transfer when I wipe or blot my face. I don't like it when I wipe my face there are blotches of foundation smeared on the cloth. cry.
The foundation does disappear like it dissipates somewhere. lol

Random pictures 😂

Indoor picture. (Blended in using fingers)

 
In Vietnam

Some notes

- If you don't blend it well, you can see it. Serious~ If you leave streaks....you can see it. And it's gonna be hard to wipe away after that. So work it in as soon as you place the foundation on your face and work in small sections. 

- SPF is only 10 PA++ so wear extra sunscreen if you're gonna be out in the sun. Preferably water type when you apply skincare or the spray type if you want to apply it after your makeup.  

- It doesn't come with a pump but I bought a pump from MAC and it fit quite well. You can have a look at that if you don't like the no pump style.  

- I'm also trying out the Etude House Double Lasting Foundation as some says it's like a dupe to Estee Lauder. So look out for that post when I put it up later. (Hopefully soon) ^^"

So~~ I think this foundation is really worth the hype and I definitely did not regret buying it. I wanted to buy it online but getting swatched at Sephora was better as I almost bought the wrong shade. phew~


Till next time 😘xx

[Review] Victoria Secret Velvet Matte Cream Lip Stain in Magnetic

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WOOF WOOF 🐶

Hi everyone,
Hi 2018,

I  haven't written for so long I'm almost scared to write eh~
Last year I wanted to write so much but had a lot of things going on so it dragged and dragged until NOW! haha

So the first post that I want to write about is my first present of the new year. It's the......
Victoria Secret Velvet Matte Cream Lip Stain~~~ The one I got is a mauve-y kinda colour, Magnetic.
I've been looking into the lip stick since late last year but never really got the chance or the need to buy it myself since the price was RM59.00. But they were having a sale so I asked my sis to check them out for me and in the end she got them for the both of us since they're having a buy 2 free 1 promotion at the store.
Let's go! ^^

🌼Packaging 🌼

Normal...normal...normal. Nothing fancy, just simple and tells you what you need to know. I had a bit of trouble finding the name of the one I had because it turns out the name was hidden under the price tag. sheesh...
The colour on the tube supposedly corresponds to the lip colour but I think the actual lip colour is a tad bit lighter. Unless....you put two layers maybe.
My style of using lipstick (apply in the middle then spreading it probably makes it look lighter than the intended shade).

🌼 Pigmentation 🌼

Very good!
It's definitely creamy but not runny. The texture is very opaque but because its cream matte nature, it tends to show your lip lines but for me I don't think it makes them look as bad as how MAC matte lipsticks make my lips look. hahaha 😅😅

Le tired face

🌼 Staying Power 🌼

Initially I thought because of the creamy texture, it's going to transfer easily. However, after you apply the lip cream, it will take one minute or so to settle then you'll find it all good and matte looking.
I did a drinking test and there was a tiny tiny bit of transfer initially but after that no more. This concept would be similar if you blot your lips after the lip cream has settle down.
So, definitely staining..good good. It lasts quite long, 4-5 hours but it might disappear a bit if you take oily food.
Ah...oily food. The enemy of lipsticks everywhere
Final thoughts
Love it!
Have a try at it when you get a chance aye!
Till next time lovelies.
Cheers, XXX

[Review] BBIA Last Lipstick in No. 8 Active (적극적)

Hye lovelies :)

I literally just got this lipstick yesterday but I took tons of pictures with it so imma post it straightaway haha

I got the lipstick in No. 8 (I translated it to "active") ;). It's from their green tube series. They have a red tube series as well and I really like No. 4 Intelligent but it keeps on getting sold out darn haha
The IG profile that I got it from is tudungbyme for RM20 excluding shipping~

Matte green tube

No. 8 is kind of a dusty rosy pink which compliments my complexion a lot ^^ *happy*

The lighting made it look lighter though. It's much more darker than this~ trust me :)
There's a bit of a fragrance to it tho, smells like some kind of flower, azalea maybe. Just a heads up for those who are sensitive to fragrance. You won't really smell it during application, it's very light, not too overwhelming.

It tugs at your lips due to it being matte and if you have dry lips, try to to scrub the dead skin first and apply lip balm to soften your lips beforehand yea ^^

As for staying power, quite long if you're not eating oily food. It lasted through my badminton training time and a slice of pizza. It will leave a stain so that's something good :)

The color is very pigmented so one layer is enough for me~

Here are a few pictures in different lighting
Yellowish evening

Perky morning

That's all from me, I hope you guys have a good day and thanks for reading ^^

Cheers XX



[Review] COSRx Centella Blemish Ampoule and Blemish Cream

Hi lovelies, June already aye... Lemme me just say, I haven't been going out of the house nor have I been using makeup for the last 3 mo...
