Etude House My Little Nut Enamel Lips-Talk BE103 Christmas Dream

Etude House My Little Nut Enamel Lips-Talk | BE103 Christmas Dream
Shades Available: 7
Price: $9.98
3.4g



Hello Everyone!

Happy July to you all! I just wanted to give a quick heads up and warn you that a lot of the posts that are coming have pictures from around Christmas. Of course it's my fault for stalling on posting reviews again, but I hope it doesn't bother you all too much. 






This review is on Etude House's My Little Nut Enamel Lips-Talk. It was a part of their Christmas 2016 collection. These lipsticks were the only thing that I was truly interested in however, as the other products didn't really catch my eye.






To be honest, I'm not that impressed with the packaging on the lipstick tube. I don't know if it's how the lipstick tube feels plastic-y and almost cheap, or if the light pink and the gold just aren't complimenting well enough in my eyes. 






The lipstick is very lightweight and is pretty slim. I really like the oval shape that it's in. It allows me to easily line my cupids bow. The shade is absolutely gorgeous. It's a very gorgeous berry color that can go on either really lightly, as a stain, or heavily for a nice glossy, dark lip. Since it's now summer, I've been using it as a stain, since the formula itself is very moisturizing and almost reminds me of the Aritaum Honey Melting Tint only 1000x better. It's way more lightweight, and moisturizing. 






This lipstick does have a scent. I completely suck at trying to explain scents but it's almost reminds me of a sweet, but kind of off cranberry? It's not one of my favorite scents to be honest, but it doesn't bother me enough for me to knock points off. Here's a swatch of it below, I just realized now how messy it is. 






I really did hope you enjoyed this review, and don't mind that the background of a lot of my upcoming reviews has snow in it. I don't know why I thought that was a good idea, I ended up staying out in below freezing weather for a good hour before I was finished taking all of my pictures but *insert shrug here. I hope you all have a great day!

Etude House Dear My Jelly Lips Talk-JOR203

Etude House Dear My Jelly Lips Talk | JOR203
Shades Available: 8
Price: $7.19
3.4g



Hello Everyone! 

Seriously, long time no see. Happy summer to you all, I hope that it's been going well. Today's review is on a classic Etude House product, their Dear My Jelly Lips Talk. I hope you like the review.




This lightweight, jelly like lipstick has such a great color pay off. It's perfect for school, and hotter weather since it's so light and leaves a slight stain and is so easy to re-apply. It has such an intoxicating sweet scent I really want to buy the rest of the collection to see if the scent depends on the shade. 




I heard that this tint adjusts to your body temperature, but I haven't seen any official proof. As always, I really do love the packaging. The little bubble ring around the packaging is a different color depending on which shade you choose. I've had this for a while so I don't know why I didn't take a picture of it before I swatched it. 




There is a beautiful embellishment on the front of the lipstick. This lipstick wears down really fast since it's so lightweight and water-y. I chose the color JOR203 which didn't translate clearly so I'm sticking to whatever it says on the packaging. It's a really gorgeous orangey almost red color. It looks really good when paired with a darker orange-red tint. The swatch of the shade is below. I tried to adjust the lighting to the best of my ability to show the true color.




I hope you liked the review! As always if you have any questions/comments/recommendations feel free to leave them below and I'll answer them ASAP!

Clio Professional All That Eye Styler Kit in Walk On the City

Clio Cosmetics | All That Eye Styler Kit
Shades Available:
Price: unknown
0.7g X 8pcs




Hello Everyone!


Finally continuing on with the Clio Professional products, this was one of the things that were included in the deal. If you don't know what I'm talking about I'd recommend checking out my Clio Professional Cosmetics Haul from a while back!


(Left to Right: back of box, side of box, protector on inside mirror.)


The palette is really sturdy, and really nice. There was a cover protecting the mirror, which I greatly appreciated. The packaging of the palette is really unique. It's not really one I'd really grab for, so I'm glad this was introduced to me. It's really metallic so it was hard to take pictures of it, but I tried my best. The back of the palette says all the eyeshadow shades in order so I think that's really convenient.


(Left to Right: back of the palette, brush included.)


It came with a mini duel ended brush, one with a sponge tip and the other with a nice flat brush. The shades are really nice. They're really soft and light. The glitter shadows are very chunky so you can have a light sparkle or if you spray a mist, you can really get a solid shimmery coat.




 My absolute favorite shades lately have to be Gold Carat and Beige Shine. I feel like more towards the holidays, the beautiful Holly Burgundy and Queen's Pink will attract my eye. I forgot to mention that it comes with a plastic protector over the shadows that say which shade is which.




As you can see with Matt Black, with just one light swipe it isn't really opaque so I feel like it's really nice for softly blending into the crease etc.


I hope you all enjoyed this review. I noticed I've been reviewing a lot of lip products lately, I really am a lip junkie, so I decided to switch it up! As always is you have any questions/comments/recommendations feel free to leave them below and I'll answer ASAP!

Etude House Dreaming Swan Shine Volumer and Eye and Cheek

Etude House Dreaming Swan Shine Volumer | #2 Shine Toe Shoes
Shades Available: 3
Price: $8.98
0.15 oz. / 4.5g


Hello everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing two Etude House products. They are both from their older collection, Dreaming Swan. 



(side of packaging)

Here is the side of the packaging which has an explanation of the product as well as the ingredients. I picked the second shade which was Shine Toe Shoes. 



I really love all of the designs on this collections packaging. Which is mostly the reason I bought 
these two products. I would've had all of the lipsticks as well, but some problems arose.


Here is what the tube looks like. The ballerina slippers and bows on the cap are just so adorable. It is also pretty sturdy and not heavy, so its nice for traveling. I brought this with me when I went on vacation this summer.


The applicator is round and smooth the entire way around so it's very easy to apply the product where you want to. I actually really love this brush although I wasn't expecting it to look like this. I thought it would've looked like their tear drop liner brush or something else. But the brush makes it super easy to apply the product to your aegyo sal, etc. 


The formula of this product is very smooth. There aren't any harsh chunky glitters that can scratch your eye or anything. It's super sparkly, as you can see in the photo above. So a little goes a long way.  Make sure you blend it out quickly as it tends to dry fast! I'm not even that big of a highlighter person, but lately I've been loving the way it looks on my cheekbones. 


I've had this product for a while, which is why I feel bad that I put off this review until now, as well as some other products I bought a while a go. But it really is a great product, and if I can find any of the other shades, then I would totally try to buy them. 






Etude House Dreaming Swan Eye and Cheek Color | #4 Relevé Purple
Shades Available: 5
Price: $14.98
0.31 oz. / 9g




The second product I'll be reviewing is their Eye and Cheek Color.


On the packaging it is described as: an eyeshadow and blusher with a silky primer powder that gently covers up pores and provides a blurring effect for smooth and lovely eyes.




Once again, I absolutely love the packaging of this collection. All of the art is just so beautiful. Also, I've never had a blusher in this type of packaging either, so to me that's another bonus.






The cap screws off and you are revealed with the adorable puff it comes with. It is super soft, fluffy, and fully applies the product very nicely.




There is also a plastic cover that protects the actual product from the puff which for some reason took forever for me to get off. I accidentally took a small chunk out of the product a couple days ago, it wasn't that bad nor did the design get ruined, but I still screamed. *screeched* 






Here's the swatch. It's a really nice lavender shade. That's mainly the reason why I chose this color out of the others. I've never had a purple-ish blush before so I was so excited while taking these pictures. I think it complements my skin tone very well but if I were to choose another one it would've been the Peach one


It feels really nice and soft on my cheeks. The color is build-able but I prefer to keep it light. It looks nice on the eyes as well, although I mostly just use it as a blush. It lasts for a good amount of time, I don't normally check the lasting time of blushes but it usually lasts as long as my foundations do.


I hope you all enjoyed this review. I know this collection is old and that there are plenty of new products out, so I hope you all don't mind me showing off the older products before the new ones! As always if you have any questions/comments/recommendations feel free to ask below and I'll answer as quick as I can!

Tony Moly Cat Chu Tint in Cherry Red and Red

Tony Moly Cat Chu Tint | #1 Cherry Red, #2 Red
Shades Available: 3
Price: Around $6-7
10mL



Hello Everyone!

Happy back to school! This review is on another lip product, the Tony Moly Cat Chu Wink Tony Tint. I hope you all enjoy it!


(Bottoms of the tints.)


These two tints simply came wrapped in a plastic protector. There was no box packaging involved so this review won't be as picture heavy. The adorable cat details on the cap of the bottle completely sold me to this product although I have been wanting to try it out for a while now. 



(Applicator)



The applicator is really nice. The width of the applicator is perfect for creating gradient lips. This tint is really opaque. You have to be quick when applying it as it dries so fast and you definitely don't want a straight line across your lips if you're creating a gradient lip. I feel like since the Red is so deep, I tend to use it more in the fall/winter. Whereas the Cherry Red is slightly more lighter and can be used for an easy worry free application. 



(Left to right: Cherry Pink and Red)



If you're really looking for the just-bitten dark red lip, then I'd say to go for the red. The shade is so gorgeous and even if you aren't looking for that look, if you apply it with a very light hand you can get a beautiful light flush of color. These tints I've also found that as a nice cheek tint underneath a sheer foundation, since they're so pigmented, it can look really nice. 



These tints also last a really long time. This is the first water tint that applied to my upper lip. As weird as it sounds, water tints never show up on my upper lip. It's actually really annoying at times, maybe my lips are just weird but I thought that was a major plus.



I hope you enjoyed this quick review, once again I'm sorry if it's not as picture heavy as some of my other reviews. As always if you have any questions/comments/recommendations don't be afraid to let me know and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick #3 Peach Resembling Grapefruit

Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick | #3 Peach Resembling Grapefruit
Shades Available: 10
Price: $10.61
3.5g



Hello Everyone!

Today's review is on this Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick in the shade #3 Peach Resembling Grapefruit. I hope you like it!



(Side and top of box)



If you don't know already, I am a huge fan of the brand Innisfree. It is my all-time favorite S.Korean makeup brand. So I was very excited that I was able to snag one of these lipsticks. They also have their fall collection lipsticks out now, the Real Fit Creamy lipsticks. From pictures that I've seen online already, I already know that I would really hope to purchase them all. Especially since the formula looks similar to their Creammellow lipsticks which I am almost done collecting and will probably have a long awaited review for them up soon!



(Packaging)



This shade isn't one I'd usually go for, but I decided to try something new, especially since I didn't feel like waiting for the more popular colors to come back in stock. This shade is very bright for my skin tone. I could never wear it as a full lip color, I feel like it would look absolutely horrible on me. However, I do quite like it as a subtle gradient lip. 






The packaging is slightly different from their Creammellow lipsticks, the cap is definitely larger. I love how they have the shade of the lipstick in a ring at the bottom as it is with all of their lipsticks. It without a doubt makes it so much easier to find the shade you're looking for right away.



(Lipstick in natural lighting)



The camera really doesn't do a justice to this lipstick. It made it look way more saturated than in person, however on the lip swatch it isn't as bad. The shade is really nice, it almost slightly reminds me of the Clio Virgin Kiss lipstick in Honey Blossom (I'm not the best at comparing colors.) only leaning more towards the warmer side. The texture is nicely creamy, and doesn't have an over the glossy finish. I feel like if I bought a different color I'd be grabbing for it more, but it's still gorgeous. 



(Swatch in daylight and with flash)



(Swatch on lips)



I hope you enjoyed the review. This lipstick is very nice, but like I said above, if I bought it in a different shade it really would've stolen my heart. As always if you have any questions/comments/recommendations feel free to let me know, I will always answer back as quick as I can!

Tony Moly Liptone Get It Tint #6 Dark Knight

TonyMoly Liptone Get It Tint | #6 Dark Knight
Shades Available: 6
Price: $6.38
9.5g



Hello everyone!

Happy September to you all! Today's review is on this lovely TonyMoly lip tint. This is one of my favorite lip tints in my collection so I hope you all get the chance to try it out!



(Box details.)



I've really been into deeper lip tones, and this tint has been perfect for me. You can go really natural, or layer it a couple times for a wonderful dark berry toned lip.



(Front of the tint)



The tint is really lightweight and does have a scent. It also leaves a really nice stain and lasted throughout most of the day. I did have to re-apply, just because after eating during the duration of the day and my terrible habit of biting my lips, of course it would fade.



(Cap detail)



In case you were wondering if the lid to the lip tint was actually that bulky, it really isn't. The top cap comes off to reveal a nice, slim, screw on and off type lid. The applicator is a tiny doe-foot which actually holds a lot of product so a little goes a long way. 



(Applicator)


As you can see from the swatch, I also included one under flash. It's such a gorgeous color. It's definitely one of my favorite lip tints. Since many of the S.Korean lip tints have duplicates of shades between brands, it was really refreshing to see such a lovely shade. Maybe there are some like this shade out on the market, but from all of the tint's I've bought so far, this is one that certainly stands out.



(Left to Right: swatch in daylight, swatch taken with flash, stain from lip tint in daylight.)


I hope you've all enjoyed this review! As always if you have any questions/comments/recommendations don't be afraid to let me know! I will answer them as quick as I can!
