Hi everyone!

I will be reviewing Innisfree's Long Wear Cushion. Innisfree is most likely my favorite makeup brand, just because overall, to me, the quality of their products is great.

(This is the review of the old Innisfree Long Wear Cushion. I did order the new one and will be reviewing it as soon as I finish this one.)

On their website it says it's a long wear cushion formulated to keep your skin looking bright and smooth all day while fighting against sweat and sebum. It leaves your skin feeling smooth, refreshed and soft with an even skin tone that calms pores and bumps. 

I love the packaging of this cushion, but overall I just love the simple packaging of Innisfree's products. I especially like how they made the Long Wear Cushion on the front in pink. It adds a nice touch.

(front)

I got mine in the darkest shade, no. 23 True Beige. There is a scent to it I can't really explain, it's almost minty? ( I'm really bad at explaining scents ) It doesn't bother me, but it does eventually go away if you were wondering. This was a half shade light, but that's usually a problem for me with Korean foundations. It's not drastically noticeable, but I thought I'd just inform.

The puff is the same as all of the other Innisfree cushion puffs, which I really love by the way. It blends the product very easily. The finish of the cushion is matte, which is (also) fine with me. If you can't tell already, I'm not that picky about my foundations. I usually just grab whatever I'm in the mood for if it cooperates well with my skin. I don't really mind whether if my foundation it's matte or dewy, as long as it's not over the top. like super matte where I'd look flat, or too dewy where I'd look like a grease-ball.

Since I'm on a topical acne treatment, my skin is quite dry these days, as well as super oily (from it being so dry). So if you have dry patches, I'd exfoliate and moisturize really well before applying this. I'm pretty sure this cushion is mostly for oily skin types, but if you are interested in it, I'd say try it out, or if anything try the Water Glow Cushion. Which I will be reviewing soon as well. 

(cushion itself)

This product lasts on my skin for most of the day. I have to bring oil blotting sheets and use them every once in a while since my skin is so oily.

(swatch on my wrist, daylight)

As you can see it is a little brighter than the color on my wrist, but it's not too noticeable on my face. I'm trying to use this as much as I can so I can finally try out the new 2015 version. ( the review of that will be up as soon as possible.)

Overall, I hope you enjoyed this review, there will be many more to come. Feel free to ask anything in the comments, or if you would like me to review a certain product, I will try my best as to do so.

Hello everyone!

This is my review on Etude House's Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk lipstick in PK004, Stunning Pink.

 The packaging of this product is similar to the Color Pop series, only it's pink with a shiny darker pink (purple?) bow near the bottom. It also has a design at the top of the packaging.

(PK004)

This lipstick, like the Color Pop one I have, is expired. But since this one expired last October, the quality of the product hasn't declined. ( or at least I haven't noticed anything) The texture is very smooth and light. I really like the color. I'm usually very hesitant to buy brighter colored lipsticks online, just because in fear it won't look right with my complexion. However this one was very flattering, in my opinion. It lasted most of the day, but mostly got wiped away when I went out to eat later on for lunch.

(close up)

It does leave a faint stain when it rubs off, which I like. And it is also visibly glossy(–ish). You can build up the color as well. The product itself is slightly moisturizing, and didn't really accentuate the dry patches on my lips....which I appreciated.

(swatch on wrist~ daylight)

(swatch on lips)

I did actually decide to do a swatch on my lips. (ignore my peach fuzz/blonde hairs as well as my dry lip flake, I tried my best to not make it that noticeable.)

On the gradient lip, the color did lighten up a bit, due to the concealer, but it's not that big of a difference, at least in my opinion.

If you couldn't tell I like this lipstick way more than the Color Pop collection one. But anyways,
I hope you liked the review, this is one of my all time go-to lipsticks at the moment besides the new Clio ones. (which I do have a review on)

Hi everyone!

How has your summer been? As it is coming to an end, I've realized how much I've been slacking off on reviewing. So I'll be posting a bunch of summer products I forgot to publish. (sorry /.\) But never-the-less, the beautiful fall is approaching, which not only means new collections, but an entire new color scheme. From the neon lipsticks, to the bold dark lips. I'm so excited as to see what this fall will bring us, collection wise. I've already seen a couple that've caught my eye, so I will try to get my hands on the products.
Anyways:

Today I'll be reviewing Innisfree's Glow Liquid Shadow in the 3rd shade.

On my most recent haul, I mentioned this product. I'm very excited to share this review with you all.

This product didn't come with a box packaging, but was sealed just as shown in the picture above, which I didn't really mind. This is one of Innisfree's newest products in their Summer 2015 collection. There is also new eyeliners, nail polishes, and a new version of their Long Wear Cushion. (Which I will be reviewing ASAP)

The applicator is flat which makes it easy to apply. The product itself is very lightweight (not heavy on your eyes at all) and very sparkly. It is patchy on the first coat when I put it all over my lid, so I added a second and it turned out very nice and opaque. (very build-able) Unfortunately it is not waterproof, which I think is kind of ironic since it's from a summer collection. But I bet there are some alternatives to make it waterproof. I'll have to try some out and add an update. 

(swatch on wrist)

Here is a swatch of it on my wrist, one with flash and one without. I'm not that great at explaining colors so the best I can give you guys is a blueish-green? Under flash it looks even more beautiful. 

When I first used this, it was just so foreign to me because the closest consistency to a liquid shadow I've used, was a cream one. However, practice makes perfect, I can now apply it more easily. Don't be afraid if the first coat looks light and patchy, because just as I said above, just wait for it to dry and go over it a second time and it will me 100% more opaque and shinier. Under the flash it looks almost like a pale silvery blue? I'm horrible at describing colors so I apologize.

It doesn't make my eye feel tight or sticky at all. I was worried about that, but while its drying, try not to move your eye around that much. It's just like applying liquid liner, only all over your eyelid. (.?) However since this isn't waterproof, and during the day if you feel it's starting to get sticky or starts to smudge. I'd bring a translucent setting powder or an oil absorbing powder around with you so you can blot over top of the eyeshadow as well as on wherever your skin gets oily.

I hope you liked my review on this product. If you have any questions or want me to review anything feel free to comment it below and I will answer as soon as I can. If you haven't seen my haul where this product is first mentioned here it is.

Hello everyone!

I'll be reviewing Etude House's Fantastic Color Eyes in Cherry Blossom.

There are 6 eyeshadow colors in this palette:

(left to right: Cherry Coke, Cherry March, Baby Peony, Hello Spring, Floral Walk, & Warm Morning)

All of these colors are beautiful. You can create so many different looks with these eye shadows. My favorite eyeshadow out of this entire palette is Warm Morning, I just love the way it looks on my skintone

. All of these shadows are very light and easy to blend. They also last for a while too. I have to use a primer though, since I have oily eyelids, but even when I forget to put one on it lasts for a reasonable amount of time. All of the eye shadows are highly pigmented. All of the swatches below were all with one swipe. 

It's also very travel friendly. The palette itself isn't really that big, in fact it was way smaller than what I expected it to be. I like to keep the plastic covering over the eye shadows whenever I bring it around just so it doesn't get damaged.

Overall I really do like this palette. It's my first palette from Etude House, and hopefully as you can see with this post, I really so enjoy it. I also hope to purchase the Rose Garden version before it is sold out!
