3 Concept Eyes (3CE) by Nanda

3 concept eyes are on the trend now! 
Their product are considered pricer as compared to other korean brands such as Etude house, Innisfree Etc.
So I think it would be useful to do a review on these products so you guys don't spend the extra money.

Here I will review 3 of their products : 
1) Glossing waterful foundation in Ivory
2) Lip laquer in Pink Boom
3) Creamy Water proof eyeliner in #9 Wow Pink

The foundation as the name says it all, it is a foundation that gives the glowy dewy finish adored by a lot of koreans.

This foundation is very sheer, its only buildable to at the most a medium coverage.
Unless you have really good skin, otherwise you will definitely need a concealer.
what I really like this foundation is that it is very lightweight and gives off a natural finish.
If you stay in a very hot and humid place like i do, i'll strongly recommend powdering the foundation to make sure it last longer throughout the day. This foundation has been my to go to for the whole of May, really is in love with it. 

Next up, is the lip laquer,  it dries off matte, very easy to apply as this product glides across the lips.
Consistency of the lip lacquer is quite watery, non-tacky. 
Colour pigmentation is of course very good but it does transfer, when I'm in Korea, I wore this and it got onto my scarf when i wore the scarf all the way to my chin area cause the wind is way too chilly. 
So do take note that this lip product does transfer.
And i don't recommend to wear it if you have dry lips as it accentuates the dryness of the lips and lip lines. Also, do prep your lips well with lip balm/ lip mask if you want a smooth look.

Lastly, is the Creamy eyeliner. This pencil is smooth but you do need a bit of warming the product to get it going. This liner stay on forever when all i used was Innisfree Eye primer and it doesn't smudge or budge like other pencil gel liner does on my eyelids so Thumbs Up. If you would to remove
this with a water based makeup remover like bifesta or bioderma, you will not remove it on the first two swipe because it is supposed to be waterproof. So you do need to go back in a few times to be 
able to remove it completely, but it doesn't require much tugging when I'm using bifesta to remove it. 
And best of all, this pencil liner does not require  sharpening to get the product! It has the twisting mechanism which makes everything easier .
Pigmentation of this liner is also super good, one layer is really good to go but if you want a more dramatic look, add an extra layer and you will have a pop of colour to spice up your normal mundane makeup routine! 

Overall, I'm rather pleased with the purchase, couldn't say enough good things about them.
