Hola! ♥
It's been awhile and I've been to random places and back.. Bought a bunch of stuff but still haven't done any reviews about them... What a waste!
So now.. I really want to take this chance to do random reviews of recently bought stuff..
This will be a how to / review ...
I'll start of with this wonderful new brand I recently found out about in Myeong-dong..
Too Cool For School...
♥
They have their own independent store in Myeong-dong but I got mine in Toda Cosa located in Dehakno... Near Sungkyunkwan University... ♥
Don't they have the coolest name?
I got this BB Foundation Lunch Box.. Isn't the packaging so cute? ♥♥
(click image to enlarge)
The artwork is by this English artist named Anke Weckmann...
So what it is - a BB cream-foundation hybrid... That also offers HD-ish coverage... (i know i know.. I speak alien)
It comes with a built-in spatula for ease of dispensing... Not the most sanitary way to dispense it I must say... But it does it's job.
Here's the product... I like the shade.. Its not ghastly white...
The consistency is surprisingly light. Not so oily.. It's just perfect and a little product goes a long way.
The smell is not too strong which is a major plus for me.
Before and After BB/Foundation
So it's not only a BB/foundation but it also comes with a concealer and a highlighter thus the name - lunch box. (connect?)
Swatched on my hand.. Natural lighting...
on the left is the concealer, right is the highlighter.
I've got nothing bad to say about the concealer... It's really creamy and easy to apply. It has medium coverage that disguises imperfections quite decently. It's not heavy at all and the best thing is it's neither tacky or sticky...
The highlighter is also good.. Although I can't come up with a decent review about it because I'm new to highlighting and I don't do much highlighting when my skin is not in very good condition.
I usually just use it on my undereyes..
Because they're so dark...
So overall I really like this product.. It doesn't really affect my skin condition.. neither in a positive or a negative way.
I got it for 18,000won which is pretty okay coz if you convert that to peso its just around PhP720. Which gives you 4 products in one:
♥ Foundation
♥ BB Cream
♥ Concealer
♥ Highlighter
Up next is this Faceshop Acne Solution Concealer...
This is what I put on all my acne scars... Since I've been having such stressful days these past few months...
It's a very pigmented product that you only need so little of it.. I only use this much and it's sometimes too much for my blemishes...
It's fairly easy to apply.. you just dot it on your blemishes and then use a clean finger to dab it so that it blends with the rest of your face..
I haven't seen actual results that they worked... but it works as a concealer..!
Ta-da... (it seems like no concealer can make my eyebags disappear)
Next is eyeliner... I have 2 eyeliners to review...
Its the Proof 10 eyeliner from Etude House....
The Proof 10 Line is supposedly their waterproof eye products...
It's easy to apply and comes in an automatic swivel up format that is very convenient...
It also comes with a sharpener if you want a more defined line...
The formulation is very soft w/ very fine gold flecks of glitters that are not visible when you put it on your eye...
Good thing about it is it doesn't give me panda eyes but the lasting power isn't really this eyeliner's strong point..
Packaging is cute though!♥
The eyeliner is called Enamel Magicara... Why...? I have no idea.. Don't you think their concept is straight out of Majolica Majorca? Even their name... Howellz.. I still love Holika Holika!
It's made by a credible makeup company that manufactures quality makeup brands like
Enprani.. which a more premiun range compared to Holika Holika...
Packaging is pretty simple.. Applicator is nice...
It's amazingly waterproof I must say but the good thing about it is its easy to wash off.. Especially with Human Nature Sunflower Cleansing Oil..
It enables you to create really thin lines ... ♥
I really love this product... Too bad we don't have it here.. Thailand has Holika Holika!!! But we done... >,<;;
Swatch of the Etude Proof 10 Auto eyeliner and the Holika Holika Enamel Magicara..
You can see how intense the liquid one is...
And then.. Here they are after 2 hand washes..
The Holika Holika is still looking as if it's freshly applied whereas the Etude one is almost gone...
Holika Holika eyeliner FTW! ♥
Soo my camera ran out of battery... So I'll be using my phone from the next photo onwards.. (sucks)
Eyebrow stuff!
Its actually this one... Color my brows by Etude...
Comparing this with my Lash Styling Mascara by Lunasol, this brow mascara by Etude has a lighter texture that's easier to apply... Lunasol's formulation is very waterproof that's why it hardens right away which makes it slightly difficult to blend with the natural strand of the brows...
I like this product.. It's inexpensive and it works... The only drawback is the size. It's really small.. However, it was only 6,000won... roughly PhP240! Compared to Lunasol's which was around PhP1,500-Php1,700... O_O
The brow cake shown here is by Nature Republic...
(click to enlarge)
I really like this cake because it's very basic with all the necessities needed for you to draw your brows on. It doesn't have the white powder that usually comes with eye brow cakes that I barely use nor do I know how to use...
It also comes with 2 brushes... that makes application a breeze!
Yikes... These are old stuff.. Just photos to show you what I've used.. I plan on sticking to these two thing for as long as I can.. They're the products that work for my lashes the most...!
Kate Mascara base and Maybelline Cat Eyes Volum' Express ♥
They deliver results!! Ta-da!
Well that's it for now..
It's not even half of the stuff that I have.. >,<
Hopefully I'll be able to update this blog more often...
Cheeky smile for this cheeky Saturday! ♥
