Clio Professional Virgin Kiss Tension Lipsticks

(front packaging)

Hi everyone!

I'm back with another product from Clio Professional. Lately I've been loving these lipsticks, so here is my review on them!

I bought these from Clio Professionals website, which you can see a haul of all the products I bought right here.

From Clio's website it says this lipstick 'takes care of it all'. As it has a highly pigmented and fade resistant formula as well forms a semi-matte film that moves with your lips, and also makes them smooth and plump. 

As you can see on the picture above, the words Tension Lip change for every color of the collection. I bought colors 9-12. I recently finished the drama, The Producers, in which the main lead actress, Gong Hyo Jin, is advertising this brand. She wore these lipsticks in that drama, as well as some of the other things I bought, and I thought they looked so pretty on her, l so I decided to pick them up as well.

I absolutely love the packaging of this product. The red writing makes a nice contract against the all black packaging.

When I first opened the lipstick I just had to take a picture of Gong Hyo Jin's name on the inside. I think it looked cool, I don't know why. Maybe it's because the lipsticks, or at least the ones I have, usually don't have any designs on that part of the packaging. 

(lipstick untouched)

Here is what the lipstick looked like before I swatched it on my arm. The bullet of the lipstick is very simple, however I've never seen this style before, but I liked the way it applied easily on my cupids bow.

(swatched)

I swatched all 4 on my wrist, and here's what they looked like. As you can see from Pinkvely, I had no idea they'd be so pigmented with just one swipe, or that they would be so smooth and buttery. They melt into your lips. These lipsticks also last for a while and leave a pretty stain behind.

I did actually take pictures of these lipsticks on my lips, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to upload them or not, so if anyone wants to see swatches of the lipsticks on my lips (because I know it can look different then what it looks like on your arm) then let me know. Also if you guys want me to do lip swatches, or swatches on my face in general let me know as well.

Overall, I really love these lipsticks. Lately whenever I go out I seem to be grabbing these the most. They're travel friendly, they barely take up any space in my purse. The texture of them is really nice and smooth, and the formula didn't dry out my lips. I highly recommend these lipsticks, and am hoping to extend my collection of them.

Update (1/7/16): If you are OCD like me and like to match up the wording on the lipstick cap to the tube, then be careful not to twist it into place. As while you're twisting it, you're twisting the lipstick up as well, which dented the top of two lipsticks for me! 

Hope you enjoyed this review! Don't forget to leave any questions etc. in the comments if you want, I'll answer them. Also make sure to come back again to see the rest of my reviews from my Clio haul! ( Plus more :) )

Ebay Cosmetic Haul #1

Hi everyone!

I ordered some new products on eBay a while back and they just came in, so I'm going to do a quick haul.

(the products I ordered)

I ordered these on June 26th and they just came in today. I honestly don't mind about the shipping, one because it was free, and two because as long as I get them by the last day they say it should come in I don't really care.

(everything that came in the box)

I ordered from one of my most trusted sellers, and bought a total of 9 products. The reviews for them will be up eventually. 

(samples/freebies)

In addition to my products I also received 10 samples/freebies. Which included a sheet mask, an Italy Towel, sunscreen, peeling gel, serum, BB cream, blotting sheets, nose pack, and a sleeping back. I really love how they give you a lot of samples. Well in general I just love freebies, because.. well they're free, and because they give you a chance to try out a product you might like.

(bubble wrapped)

(all of the things I bought)

Here are the things that I bought. I already have some of the Innisfree Creammellow Lipsticks, but I loved them so much, that I had to buy a few more. I also bought another Creamy Tint Lip Mousse by Innisfree in the shade 4, Romance of Spring Peach. As well as Innisfree's Glow Liquid Shadow in number 3, 태양아래 쪽빛바다 (Indigo under the sun on the sea?). As well as Innisfree's new Long Wear Cushion in the shade 23, True Beige. Also two Aritaum lip products, their Style Pop Water Tint in Red Mango, and their Color Lasting Tint in number 12, Cherry Ade.

I can't wait to review these products, from the swatches I already took when I first took them out were great. I will make sure to let you guys know when I will upload a review on one of these products. Also make sure to come back and visit to see more reviews, as I still have to upload the rest of the Clio Professional ones!

Hi everyone!

If you saw my haul you would've seen I recently bought a lot of things from Clio Professional, this product being one of them. So lets get right to the review!

On Clio's website it says this cushion has triple action- whitening, wrinkle improvement, and UV protection. It gives flawless skin with ultimate coverage, long lasting formula with 33% moisture charged texture, a high adhesion for tightening pores, as well as a velvet glow coverage with a semi matte finish. It is also clinically proven 24 hour coverage with perfect adhesion without lumping even after multiple applications. 

It also contains 8 secret ingredients for moisturize skin:

Sparkling Water: skin purification, pore, elasticity, and sebum control and moisturization effect.

Honey: antioxidant, enhanced elasticity, skin barrier improvement, moisturization and nourishing effect.

Fermented Yeast: whitening, enhances complexion, nourishing, moisturization, improves skin barrier.

Pearl: nourishing, skin tone enhancement, whitening, skin barrier improvement.

Madonna Lily: provides minerals, removes skin waste, moisturization.

tomato: antioxidant, nourishing, revitalization, removes dead skin cells.

Apple Blossom: enhances skin elasticity and transparency, removes dead skin cells, improves radiant skin.

Roobios: nourishing, moisturization, skin purification.

When I bought this i got it for a set, (2 cushions and 2 refills) so that is what the picture is below. The top two are the cushions and the bottom two are the refills. I got mine in the shade 4-BO Ginger. There are 4 shades total, 2 for cool undertones, and 2 for warm undertones.

When you open the cushion, there's the top section where the puff sits, and then the part underneath where the cushion is. When you first open the cushion compartment there's a little film that you take off before using. Mine was a little crinkled up but it's okay. There's also another film over the mirror. Since the only other cushions I have are by Innisfree, it's nice to see different packaging. For some reason i really like the little divider that separates the puff from the cushion. I really love the way it looks, and puff itself is really nice as well, i like its simplicity.

The cushion is well soaked in the foundation. I tested it by poking it with a spatula. For some reason I cringed during this, I really don't like pressing things into my products, but it's okay, I'll get over it soon. The coverage is also very good, however the formula of the foundation isn't that moisturizing. Also, the color was good for my skin tone, I was worried it'd be too light. It lasted around 4/5 hours without a touch up which is really good for me. However since my skin is really oily I have to blot every once in a while, however with this product I only had to blot once throughout that entire period of wearing it, which I am really happy about. While testing this product I also tested out Clio's Artist Mist so that review will be up after this one has been up for a little bit.

I did notice that it did crease under my eyes at first, but then again my eye area is super oily, but in the picture above you can see it kind of settles in the cracks in my wrist. Also around the end of the day it did look a little patchy. But that was most likely because I didn't touch it up throughout the day just to test how well it would last.

Overall I liked this cushion. It wasn't one of the best ones I've tried but it definitely made it onto my favorites list.

Club Clio Professional Haul

Club Clio Professional Hall

(yay, bubble wrap)

Hi everyone!

I recently ordered a couple things from Clio Professional's website and wanted to share.

I will be reviewing these products so there won't be that many pictures.

(so pretty!)

I got these products as two different sets. They also shipped really fast I was really surprised. But anyways, the first set I bought was the Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow Set, which is still available at the moment. It came with 1 Tattoo Kill Brow (3 Dark Brown) , 2 Tattoo Pens (1 Earth Brown), 2 Tension Lipsticks (11 Honey Blossom, 12 Butter Kiss), and an All That Eye Starter Kit. You are allowed to choose the colors you want so don't worry, you won't be getting something that you don't want. In the parentheses i just put which ones I chose.

The other set was the Kill Cover Liquid Founwear Cushion Set, I think this one is still available as well. It came with 2 Kill Cover Liquid Founder Cushions (4-BO Ginger), 2 refill pans (4-BO Ginger), 2 Virgin Kiss Tension Lipsticks (9 Pinkvely, 10 Peachnista), and a Kill Cover Fix Mist. This honestly in my opinion was one of the best sets I've ever gotten. Because not only do you get 2 cushions, but 2 refills, and I am a huge lipstick lover so they was a bonus, as well as the fix mist. 

It also came with samples/freebies. I received a Goodal Waterest Gift Kit, a Peripera Peri's Lip Tint, a Goodal Double Bright 2pc Skincare Set, and 2 mini packs of the Clio Kill Cover Realest Wear Moist Foundation in Linen, and a cute Peripera makeup pouch. 

(samples/freebies)

I'm really excited to review these products, hopefully the reviews will be up soon!
