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.

The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex Cushion Blusher

Korean blushes can be a hit or miss. Often they are chalky with poor color payoff and other times they are extremely pigmented. This cushion blusher is the latter; super pigmented, almost too pigmented, those with heavy hands know what I mean.

The particular blush in the picture has since been repackaged, but the formula remains the same. It's a vibrant hot pink with no glitters or chunky bits. Like I said, it can be hard to work with given its pigmentation. I find just one light tap is all I need for one cheek, another tap for my other cheek.

This line has about 7 other colors. Not all of them are this pigmented. From what I can recall, there are a couple milky pinks and oranges. I don't own any hot pinks, which attracted me to this color. It comes with an adorable puff, which I tossed, since I find it to be useless. Other than that, these Me:Ex blushers reminds me of Nars, but without the high costs!

Skinfood Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake

Eyebrows should be sisters, not twins! Still with that said, it can be tricky to find the right color match.
SkinFood Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake #1 is a product I bought on a whim, since the prices was only $2.50 (2,500 won)

The cute little case contains two eyebrow shades and a brush. It might have a spooly as well, but I lost it somewhere!

I have black hair, so I find grey-ish powders to look the most natural for me. If I used a black powder, it looks weird and off, whereas grey looks more natural and it blends better.

Both shades are pigmented and easy to use. I use the color on the left for the inner part of my eyebrows and the darker shade at the end of my brows. Personally I find powders better than pencils, as it looks more natural and it's easier to work with. I used this product every day!

Nature Republic Lifting Ampoule

Lately I've been really into Nature Republic skincare items. I'm not sure if it's because of the cute packaging or the fact that I've been hearing a lot of good review about the company.

This ampoule, which I assume is like a serum, is for lifting. While I am still young, I'd rather prevent aging that treat it when it's too late.

The glass bottle comes with a dropper, so it's easy to control the amount of product you want to use.

I haven't been using it for long, so I can't comment on the long term claims yet. What I can say is I like that my skin feels softer the next morning.

If you're looking for an affordable ampoule to add to your skin care routine, I recommend this one from Nature Republic!

Skin Food Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder Review

Skin Food Peach Sake Powder is one of those cult favorites from the Skin Food brand. I heard many people compare it to the white powder from Make Up Forever. This giant tube was only $14. If you're crazy about peaches, you'll be pleased with this scent. It's absolutely lovely!

Since it's loose white powder in a tube, it can get really messy! Whenever I use it, without fail, white powder flies everywhere! Even when I'm really careful. That can be a downside to this packaging, but most loose powders are pretty annoying to use.

How does it work? Well, I can see why people love it. It leaves my face smooth and matte, but it doesn't feel heavy nor greasy. My makeup can last about 8 hours without getting oily when I dust this peach powder on my face.

Skin Food Fresh Fruit Lip & Cheek Berry Swatches

Brightly colored cheek products can make a big difference!

When applied correctly, bright cheeks can make you look healthy, younger, glowing and innocent.

This small lip & cheek tint is portable and extremely easy to use! While it may look super bright in the tin, it is actually not that bright.

I love the vintage tin it comes in! If this color isn't for you, it comes in a load of different shades!

Nature Republic Collagen HD Aqua BB Cream

BB Creams has made its way to America, but I still believe that BB Creams from Asia are far more superior in terms of skin care benefits, coverage and quality.

I randomly decided to pick up this Collagen HD Aqua BB Cream from Nature Republic. It is not the most popular BB Cream from NR, but I'm glad I decided to give it a go!

On top of that, it was only $7!

 This BB cream isn't too think nor too watery. I would say the coverage is medium to high and easily buildable.

The overall finish is semi-matte with a hint of dewey-ness. If you have oily skin, I would suggest using a finishing powder, but for those with dry skin this BB cream is really moisturizing and will not emphasize dry patches.

Here is a swatch. It is on the yellow side with no gray undertones! To the right of the line of BB cream is the blended product. The color is perfect for me and it blends in seamlessly.

Holika Holika Heart Ful Moisture Lipstick Candy Red

 Holika Holika is a beauty brand from South Korea. While it may not be as popular as Skin Food or The Face Shop, it is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands.

I've been on the hunt for a moisturizing red lipstick for awhile now. I was so happy when I found discovered the Holika Holika Heart Ful lipstick line.

As you can see, the lipstick bullet is carved into a heart shape! Not only is it super cute, but it's great because it makes the lipstick easy to apply.

Like the name states, it is very moisturizing  this lipstick does not emphasize my dry lips.

The color you see on the right is in the shade Candy Apple. It's the perfect pinky red, with not shimmers or frost.

Scent wise, it smells like delicious gummy candies!
