Tears Gel Eyebrow


Tears Eye brow Gel..

I like to use this product to fill my sparse brow, I just found it very natural looking and it lasts longer. It's my first time to use a brow gel and I found it more better than brow pencil.
It's a gel but it is powdery when applied with a brush.


Mine is in Deep brown BR05 and it is just right with my dark brown hair, looks very natural..

Beauty Blender Dupe!!

Hi everyone! I'll review today the Etude House
Baby Doll Puff.

When I saw this in the store I thought that its a doll because of the packaging but when I get closely I'm surprise to see that it looks like the beauty blender.
So I decided to pick one up to see the performance of this one along with a foundation.
 I found out that it is best to use damp than dry. It expands it's size and get much more softer.
Apply your foundation using bouncy motion.
I'm also using the tip side to apply my concealer.
When I use this  my foundation looks more natural on my face than foundation brush so I prefer using this more.




Baby doll puff are available at Etude House for 7,000 Korean won.

innis free bb cream

 Hi Everyone!
Today I'll review a Korean Brand Innis free Mineral sun waterproof B.B. cream SPF 50 pa+++
To Korean people specially Female it's very important to use a sun block because here they like their skin white whole year.
Most of Korean Brand Cosmetic contains SPF pa+++.. why SPF pa+++ because if SPF and PA are together it can give you more protection from the sunlight
                        B SPF UV (UVB) protection index, PA along the UV-A (UVA) protection factor
                    UVB protects your skin from sun burn while the UVA protects your skin from aging sunlight can make your skin old faster and can form blemishes. however the recommended SPF is 15-30 because higher SPF can cause skin irritation to some people. (I found this information from an article in newspaper.. ^-^)



Now about the mineral bb cream it says it is waterproof and it lasts until 12 hours which is I don't know if it's really working that well. In my case I only wear it for 6 hours then wash it off. I found it difficult to remove completly and it leaves my face brighter than it used to be.

I'm in shade 2 but it is still lighter than my skin tone in summer time, I'll wear this on winter see if it's the same then update this post.

It's not thick but it's too light for me and it is with jeju natural mineral and organic green tea.

It's 50 mL for 18,000 Korean won.. Can buy anywhere in korea.. ^-^ Innis free counters..


MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15

                                                                           Hello beauties!
Today I'll review the MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
Shake well
30ml


 When the first time I bought this product It doesn't have a pump but they will give you a pump separately.
 I'm in shade NC30 but in winter it's a little darker on my skin so I have to mix this with lighter shade foundation to match my skin tone.
swatches
It's a medium to full coverage, It's quite thick so feeling heavy on my skin. I haven't  experience breaking out with this foundation and I don't need to use concealer to cover up imperfections.
It's also good in photographs I guess because I don't look shiny in pictures so it's an ok type of foundation for me. I'm using MSFN on my T-Zone along with this foundation.

It cost 42,000 Korean won. Can Purchase Online and Offline stores.

The Wonder Pore

Hi Beautiful! Today I wanna introduce to all of you one of my loves. It's the etude house 
"Wonder Pore"
I have oily to combination skin and in summer my "T Zone" gets super oily which is very annoying. My face looks greasy so I always carrying tons of blotting paper on my bag to remove the excess oils that my pores producing through out the day.
But while I'm strolling the mall I saw my favorite pink makeup store so I decided to see what's new which I always do.
Suddenly this huge blue jar captured my eyes and it says wonder pore.. wondering what does it do...?!




It does:
Deep cleanses pores
Maintain ph 4.5 
Control large amount of the sebum
Minimize the appearance of pores
Refine the skin tone
Keep the elasticity of the pores 
Moisturize inside and out of the skin

So question does it work?
Well, my experience, my face doesn't look so greasy anymore but it's still have some oiliness. And my acne are starting to shrink which is good for me.. I'm not only using this alone, I'm pairing this with moisturizer, serum and essence day and night.
When I bought this product I tested it to see how it works alone, so a apply it on my face and leave it for about 8 hrs. and my face doesn't look so greasy, it's still have some shine but not greasy shine.



It's 500ml for 15,000 Korean won. It's worth buying so I recommend this to those people who have oily to combination skin, blackheads and whiteheads and acne prone. Use this as Toner before moisturizer. Softly rub it around your face in circular motion and let it dried for a while then apply the rest of your skin care.
Hope it helps and thank you for reading.

THE CHOCOLATE MAKES YOU MORE SWEET AND DEEP


Hello Ladies! Today I'll review the Skin Food eye shadow palette called 
"The Chocolate Makes You More Sweet and Deep"
I love the colors that comes with this palette, it's really a good neutral shades for fall. I love soft brown smokey eye in autumn seasons. And this palette reminds me of the autumn leaves with a crispy sound when you jump on it.. I hope it make sense.. ^.^
It's available in 2 shades 
I bought the number 2 which is the warm brown choco. It has four shades 3 eye shadows and 1 gel liner. 

I think it's like a satin finish, slightly powdery and you have to keep building it. Make sure you wearing an eye primer underneath it. 



This is what is looks like...
highlighter - soft beige
soft light brown with slightly sheen
chocolate brown
dark brown eyeliner
the palette comes with a dual sided brush, a liner brush and a sponge tip applicator..
taken with flash


the swatches
The colors are really pretty in the pan but it's hard to build in the eyes. There's a lot of dupes for these colors,  it's hard to tell how long it will stay on your eyes but if you use eye primer it might stay longer. It costs 14,000 Korean won. 


Etude House ''Look at My Eyes'' Eye shadow


            Hello beautiful readers! Today I wanted to show you all the Etude House Look at my eyes eye shadow.
I believe these are their new eye shadows and It's much more better and pigmented compare to the previous ones. Most of Korean eye shadows are glittery maybe it's because Korean girls loves sparkling eyes.. ^v^

so here are the list of the eye shadows below:

Sand Gold GD03 -  Coppery Gold with shimmery finish (upper left corner)
Star Mint GR01  -  Lime Green with shimmery finish (upper middle)
