Beauty Cottage: Chic to Chic Eyeshadow Duo

When you go to bangkok, and you feel like buying makeup, TRY Beauty Cottage.

These shadows are said to have mixberry extracts and chamomile.


Review: Beauty Cottage Chic to Chic E/S duos in No.7 Golden Chestnut and No.02 Pink Raisin 

Packaging : Box packaging is very vintage European styled, very pretty of course but the product packaging needs more improvement. Embossment on the shadow itself is pretty but not very very special. 

Texture: Very soft and buttery. Pigmentation are good but colour seem to be lighter when applied than it is in the pan. 

Wear Time: 5 hrs  with primer. 

Special Traits : Golden Chestnut is more frosty but very neutral and natural. The darker colour seems to apply very light on the skin.  Pink raisin is more like a satin sheen finish. Both are suitable for everyday and good for travelling since it is so light, small and compact.

Should you get it :  It is either a hit or miss. Solely depends if you want to venture into makeup in Thailand but if they are doing a sale of buy 2 for a price of 1. GET IT.

ETUDE HOUSE: GIVE ME CHOCOLATE EYESHADOW DUO

Etude house packaging never fails to attract me. Ever so cute, girly and they will unleash your inner cutesy feminine self.

When I first saw this on the website that they will be launched. I knew I have to get it. Went into the stores and I walked away with 2 out of the 3.

Review: Etude House: Give me chocolate in Salted Caramel, Cherry Truffle.

Packaging : Super chic clear plastic packaging, light weight and easy for travel because it is very compact. The way it looks like chocolate dipped in frosting is just something irresistible. 

Texture: Very soft and powdery ( in a good way) but if you use a brush it pick up a lot of product becareful to be light handed.  Pigmentation seems to be okay but colour seem to be lighter than it is in the pan. 

Wear Time: 8hrs  with primer. 

Special Traits : Packaging is a plus plus point, pigmentation is great for a korean product because usually they tend to be very light and not very pigmented. Salted Caramel is very glittery and shimmery ( good for dates, nights out with the bffs) Cherry Truffle is very natural, suitable for everyday and good for travelling since it is so light, small and compact

Should you get it : Yes, because it is not only cute, price is also reasonable, pigmentation as far as a korean product goes, it is pretty good.

 Salted Caramel 

*** Some how I lost the picture swatch for Cherry Truffle, will update the swatch asap after i retake the photo.

Peri Pera: LUMIPANG

Tried my first ever, Peri Pera Product!

This is highly talked about among Koreans and it makes me super curious about it.. so I went and bought it.

 Review :  LUMIPANG in PK008 CHU.

Packaging : Normal liptint packaging but i must say its cute.

Texture: This felt more like a lipgloss than a tint, texture is very similar to Etude House's Color Pop lip tints but has more of a slip to it, slightly more tacky. 

Wear Time: 4 Hours, with some drinking, and slight snacking ( finger food). With full meal, reapplication is needed. maybe darker shades will stain the lips. 

Special Traits : Not much except for the very neon colour. But not as drying as tints should be. 

Should you get it : This product is not something that is a must get, however if you are looking for a tint that is not that drying, this is worth a try, however to see staining effect you do need to pick up darker shades.

Innisfree: Creammellow Lipstick

I've always wanted to try Innisfree's lip product so this time I went ahead. :)

Review will be about : Innisfree Creammellow Lipstick in No.3 Cream Coral.

This line is more of a creamy, moisturising & more pigmented version of innisfree lipglow lipstick.
It has a slight candy fruit scent which doesn't linger for long.


Packaging : Matte, similar packaging as all their lip product but for the part where it holds the lipstick bullet, instead of silver its a rose gold colour to differentiate between lipglow and creammellow. 

Texture: This is quite sheer when swatched however on the lips it definitely go on more pigmented than lipglow because when i tested lipglow in the stores, you can see the natural lipcolour peeking through it and layering lipglow doesnt not make the colour more opaque. However with creammellow, you can layer for a more pigmented and opaque colour payoff. 

Wear Time: 2-3 Hours with quite some drinking and some light snack ( finger food) 

Special Traits : Not much, other than You wearing it sheer or layer for a more opacity . 

Should you get it : I will say, if you haven't gotten any of the innisfree lipstick, then this is a better alternative as compared to lipglow because the effect both gave is the same glossy effect, but wearing it sheer you get the same effect as the lipglow and you can also layer it to be more opaque. If you are looking for a natural peachy coral pink, this is quite a nice and unique shade, definitely pull more pink than it looks from the bullet.

MAC: Toledo

Hello everybody, It's been awhile since I last posted because I'm just a little busy with work and school. But I'm back!

Today's review will be about the Mac: Toledo Blush in Kindergarten Red. 

This is the only MATTE out of the 3 blushes released under the collection when I swatch them in stores.

Packaging : magnetized closure, velvety/rubbery texture ( kind of feels like NARS packaging) & of course very pretty cover on the front.

Texture: This is quite pigmented when swatch however because it is matte, it does not show up or swatch as nicely as the other two.

Wear Time: 5Hours.  At the 6-8 Hour mark, you can see sheering and fading of product.

Special Traits : You can go for lighter or darker shade of this pink blush due to the ombre effect. Definitely something very volatile.

Should you get it : I will say, if you haven't gotten any of these ombre blushes before do get one because 1) it is very volatile, you can use it for a light flush or have it on bold. 2) packaging is pretty, worth collecting if you are a makeup collector. 3) wear time is also reasonable.
