Nature Republic Berry Girl's Lip Tint


Back again with another lip tint review. This time, it's Nature Republic's Berry Girl's Lip Tint.
This tint has an interesting texture, compared to others! It's very jelly-like and cooling on the lips. Like most tints, it has a fruit scent.

The jelly is actually quite pigmented and moisturizing. Often the water-type tints can have a drying effect on my lips, but I like this Berry Girl's Tint for the hot summer months! The color in the bottle is lighter when you apply it on your lips. I like the doe foot applicator since I can pin point exactly where I want the color.

Kao Steam Eye Masks Review


Masks for eyes? Yes! I wasn't sure of these at first, but after one use I am hooked! These steam, but they don't burn your eyes; it heats up to a warm, but comfortable temperature that feels really relaxing and it soothes tired eyes. If you're like me and spent a lot of time in front of the computer, reading, or doing anything that may strain the eyes then these are a nice treat.
Very inexpensive on sasa.com~ Yuzu is my favorite, as you can see, I only have one left! Lavender is also nice and quite aromatic.

Etude House Look At My Eyes PP502


Somehow Etude House brand eyeshadows do no get as much love compared to the brands BB creams, skin care and lip products.

Originally I had wanted to buy Look At My Eyes in the color sweet potato latte (a dupe for Bobbi Brown Heather) a color used in the drama "The Innocent Man," but I accidentally picked the wrong color. A happy mistake, in my case, since this PP502 color is uber pretty!

It's a deep purple with no glitter or sparkles. I like to use this color to line my eyes rather than the typical black or brown. The purple looks great with brown eyes and it adds a hint of unexpected color.

Pigmentation is wonderful. One swipe gets a generous color payoff. It doesn't have any fall off. As with all eyeshadows, I always prime with Urban Decay's Primer Potion before use.

Peripera Peri's Lip Tint #2


Those into Asian cosmetics are well aware of what lip tints are and why they are such a hit. For those who don't know, it's basically a pigmented water-like tint that is great for creating the ever-so-popular gradation tint.

I'm sure the tint trend isn't fading anytime, in fact it's only getting stronger and stronger! Established are constantly improving and creating new tints. The popular Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint has been reformulated and repackaged three times already!

Out of all my tints, Peripera Peri's is one of my favorite. It's the one I reach for the most and one of the first tints I bought when I landed in Seoul.

In the photo, the color may look dark. On the lips, it's a "healthy" red color that makes my lips look as if I just ate a popsicle. Even after meals and water, the color still remains. The scent is delightfully fruity and the texture is just like water.

The bottle can be bulkier than other brands, so I don't carry it around with me. I like the doe foe applicator and I usually swipe off any excess before application. There are five other colors in this line, but #2 is the one I prefer most. Other than this Peri's, Peripera also has other tints that comes in different form - twist up balm, tin, etc.
