SPRING LIPS - Lipsticks & Glosses

Hi guys!

A few things are still getting fixed on my blog, but this is how it is for now. If you like it, feel free to tell me in the comments, it will be greatly appreciated!

Still having a few troubles with the "Comments RSS" and "Entries RSS" sections, so just ignore those for now. 

You can click the pictures to enlarge.

It's turning into spring now, the weather is getting warmer and really sunny, but the flowers haven't come out just yet. 

I am and have for long been a super lipgloss- and lipstick fan. Do you guys have favorite colours this spring? I like to save the darker colours for winter and wear some light, naturel lips during spring, and then more neon-colours (especially orange!) in summer. 

First here's my nature coloured lips ony wearing Maybelline Baby Lips 

First lipsticks are from Dior, both very cute pink colours! It's Dior lipstick #503 and #517

Next one is a gift from a friend, a Chanel-lipgloss. It has almost no colour, but a lot of shine and glitter, and it's super sweet and naturel!

Etude House Milky Lipgloss is the cutest gloss ever, and for a gloss rather pigmented too. It gives you ultimative dolly-looking lips! So, so adorable! And also good for people with small lips like mine.

Heading towards the end, here's Etude Houses' liptints in the orange and red colour. (They have such strange name, I can never remember them, but they are easy to recognize.) The orange one is naturel and subtle, and red for a pop of colour. Both are so nice and effective as tints!

The last one is the super pigmented liptint from TonyMoly. Really good for a tint, I'm always amazed!

Hope you like it, tell me which one is your favorite! 

Here's all together: 

My favorite is probably the Etude House Milky Gloss. I love the cute, glossy-effect, but it lasts quite short sadly. 

Alright, that's all for this post, I will be back soon!

Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil Review

Hello everyone!

I am finally back with a review from this korean haul in 2013. This time it's the eyebrown pencil from the popular South Korean brand Etude House! 

Let's first take some pictures of the product! I think the design is adorable ♥ 

The colour is brown, so I'm sorry that it looks so dark, almost black, on the pictures! I have trouble taking pictures because as soon as I am home from school it's already dark here in the wintery Scandinavia. So please forgive me that, but it really is brown!

The pencil works kind off like a duo-pencil, the browpencil in one end and a small eyebrow brush in the other. Very perfect, but not very travelsize-friendly. 

Close-up for up the pencil. Quite a decent amount of product in it! (Not only what you can see ofcourse)

Close-up of eyebrow brush.

Alright, let's try the product. Sorry for the blurryness of the first picture. My naturel eyebrow is slightly lighter than my haircolour since I trim it, it's a little messy and has no shape. I don't pluck my brows anymore, because I usually conceal the extra hairs or have my eyebrows really thick.

I am a huge fan of thick, straight korean eyebrows it gives me a young and innocent look! But I am also a fan of the arched, sexy look. So I'm gonna challenge the eyebrow pencil to both! 

Naturel brow: 

So I hope you get the idea even though this picture is blurry. The rest is not, so don't worry. It's light, out of shape, and no way how I like it. I put lots of focus into my brows because they do a lot for a face. Never forget your brows! 

Korean-inspired straight eyebrows:

Groomed and coloured in brows. It honestly looks better without the crazy flash, but as there is no sun to see it's just not possible. 

Arched brow: 

I do this when I want to have a party, mature or sexy look. The straight look belongs to my everyday. I groomed them upwards instead of straight and filled them in more than my naturel brows so they look thicker. 

So what do I think? 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

It's very resistant and stays all day, but not waterproof. It's gives a lovely colour and can be build up, it can be naturel as well as dramatic. The brush is super great! It's a bit harsh but perfect for grooming your brows in place. Use hairspray or browgel if you want it to stick all day, or spring it in your purse.  

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Super cheap product! But if you use it everyday it's also soon goon, but you can easily afford it, and the quality fits the price (the quality is not super, but it's perfectly average). 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't know how to describe this. It's a quite harsh product, yet it's softer than your typical drugstore eyebrow pencil. It's comfortable, and you don't have to drag it against your skin to get the colour from it. 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

It's simple, it's duo-function, it's cute just like all Etude House-products! Would love it to have a more travel-friendly size though. 

Cons: 

I actually had to buy this twice, because it breaks so easily! I may have done something wrong, but each time I managed the break the pencil, it would fall out and be useless. But that's really all I can think of. 5 stars to Etude House! 

That's all for this review, thanks for reading!

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint Review x 2

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posting. 

But I for once have a valid excuse other than my lazyness, because not only did I work really hard on this review - the whole weekend I fought intensevly with a virus on my pc! Not before today I got a friend to help me, so super much thank you to Steven! I owe him! But my PC is finally up and works properly again. 

Now I am here with not one, but two reviews! I will be reviewing Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in the orange and red tint. You have seen my orange tint from my korean haul. I recieved my red tint too late, hence I didn't have it yet! 

Let's get to the review, right? 

Etude House Fresh Chery Tint in red and orange:

Orange: 

(Quite obviously taken at two different times haha) 

And the two babies: 

Orange:

Red: 

Effectivity & Colour: 

Orange:✦ ✦ ✧ ✧ ✧ Red: ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

The orange works wonders, no doubt. It makes your lips pop, it's shiny and cute, and perfect for pouty lips. But the colour makes me so unsatisified. There is barely any colour at all, especially compared to the red one. Maybe it's just my naturel colour of my lips, but the colour is really sensitive. You need to bring your tint in your purse. It is not water, food, or kissing-resistant! 

However, the red tint has amazing colour! Very sharp and dolly, and very resistant. Actually be a little careful, because it almost staints your skin. I showered, brushed my teeth and slept, and the day after it was still there! 

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦  ✧

Very cheap, but also no colour. Will not repurchase in this orange, but possible in red or another colour. A nice amount of product in the container. 

Smell: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

I like it. It's a articifial candy-smell, it's quite strong, but it will fade out eventually. I like!

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't know what tint is "supposed" to feel like, but I like the texture a lot. Non-sticky. Non-watery. And not thick at all. The texture is "soft" as I would describe it. Very nice to wear on the lips. It's also not as drying!

Design/Packaging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

Etude House - you never fail at cute packaging. Never. I even keep the packages I recieved them in, because I love the small little cherries and the pink box, it's too cute to throw away! The bottle itself has soft curves and its beautifully shaped, cute designed. 

With the orange tint I created a summery naturel look, which is kinda fun and sweet, and all over innocent. It's sheer, almost nude, and fits many colours!

With the red one I made a sexy, adult look! Can you see how I go from my ordinary age to like 20+? Power of makeup!

Which one is your prefered look? Stay tuned and enjoy november!

Review: Etude House Dear My Milky Gloss Strawberry Latte

Hey ~~

Here I am with another lip-review from the korean haul, this time an Etude House review! 

I'll be reviewing the Etude House Dear My Milky Gloss in Strawberry Latte (such a long name!).

Close-up:

About the product: 

Etude House released a jelly gloss too, and I have yet to try it. This one is the "milky" edition, comes in several colours, and an adorable design. There's quite a big amount of product, and it's also quite cheap. 

Alright, bare lips: Let's get glossy and pink! (Sorry about my bad skin)

*drumrolls* And with the lipgloss!Such full and shiny lips *_* Couldn't be bothered to edit the skin around my mouth-area as usual so... Deal with this, yo ♥ 

Flash-photo: I think, in this photo particulary, my lips look so dolly, full and healthy! I love this photo! 

Effectivity & Colour: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

It's not very resistant. As soon as you drink, eat or even talk too much the lipgloss will disappear. But the colour is awfully cute, and really does remind me of a strawberry milkshake! I feel so much in love with the colour, it makes your lips pop, makes them bigger, makes them shine and make them cute. Reminds me of the Candydoll lipglosses from Tsubasa Masuwaka.   

Price:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Lots of product, reasonable price. No complaints here!

Smell: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧

I love the smell, but I know someone is gonna hate it. It smells just like candy, very sweet and cute scent. But it loses a star for smelling a little artificial. 

Texture: 

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧  

I don't find this lipgloss sticky, unless you really go overboard with in. The texture is similar to the usual lipgloss, but when I swatched it, it got quite sticky, but on the lips I don't find it to be so. 

Design/Packeging:

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 

Oh lord! *_* That's the reason I even bought it hahah ~ I love the design. The bottle is slim, but beautiful and looks like glass (it is plastic). The cute design is everything to me. And the bottle is transparent too, and makes it so much better! It's a little big, so it might not be very makeupbag-friendly, but 'she' will look absolutely beatiful whereever you keep 'her'! 

Cons: 

I can only think of two things. The smell - which only goes for some people, because I really like it.

And that you have to bring it and reapply throughout the day, because it will 'disappear' on your lips. Other than that, I love and adore this product. Good job, Etude!

Stay tuned for next review, lovelies! 

[Mini] Korean Makeup Haul!

Sorry for the lack of posting, I am trying my best! I have had so many problems lately, and I most likely won't blog next week because I will visit my boyfriend. I hope you all understand!

I wanted to post way more and earlier with makeup tutorials but lately I've been suffering so bad with these annoying things called "sty". I would have up to 7 in just one eye! They arrive after a day of wearing makeup, and after a couple of days (depending on how bad it is) they go away, but continue to come as I put on makeup, so I am trying to go makeup-free for awhile. 

(It's these little annoying fellas)

Anyways, so I figured I would do something that I planned on doing later originally. But here it is, my first ever haul! (So please give me critics, I wanna be better!) 

This is a korean cosmetics haul, and it's a mini haul with just 6 items. 

Here are all the items: 

Etude House Dear My Milky Gloss

Etude House Drawing Eyebrowpencil

Etude House Tear Eyeliner

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint

Tony Moly Crystal Blusher 

Tony Moly Mini Tint

All products are purchased on Ebay. If you want the price or the seller you can comment me, and I will reply as soon as possible. ♥ 

I am actually missing the Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in Cherry Red. It didn't arrive yet, but if I want to post before my holidays, then I can't wait anymore. 

So I have a thing for Etude House. The feminine packeging, the adorable of everything in their products, and the quality for zero money! I already own their Sun Minereal BBcream, and loved it, but decided to try a new when I ran out (current one is SKIN79 BBcream). 

I will do a review for all the products, either during the holiday or after my holiday (the whole week 42). I also hope to purchase my korean products, because despite being really cheap I find the products good for sensitve skin, perfect colour, and good quality. 

Here's the products upclose: 

Etude House Drawing Eyebrow

Really cute! And really nice quality compared to price. The colour is a little dark yet, but I am going to dye my hair after the holidays. Perfect for creating straight korean eyebrows as well!

Etude House Tear Eyeliner

It's very shimmery, but not very white. It has barely any colour, but the shimmereffect is effective, and sticks for so long! Also good for creating a more noticable ulzzang eye

Etude house Dear My Milky Gloss 

Not a lot of colour, but a lot of shine. Matches my own lipcolour almost 100%, but shines. Would be good over a lipstick! And smells like lovely candy too ♥ 

Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint (orange)

I wanted a liptint that was orange, and this was it! The package is just awfully cute, and the smell too (sweet candy-flavour). The colour is quite faded. 

Tony Moly Crystal Blusher 

This one is quite pigmentet in a lovely orange tone. It looks super naturel, but has an extra plus. It's super shimmery, almost like it's also a highlighter! And it's quite big in size as well (thought it doesn't look so on the picture)

Tony Moly Mini Tint

Sooo cute, and soooo small. I was already only half filled when it arrived (it's supposed to be like that). It's super pigmented, like WOW! Holds for hours too, even when drinking (but not eating). It has a bad smell thought, just like a magic marker. But it's still perfect for gradiant! 

Alright this is all for todays haul. You get to see more (and better) pictures, swatches and testing when I review these products as soon as possible. Enjoy! ♥ ♥ ♥
