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!

Etude House Any Cushion Decoden Kit #1 Eat, Play, Love

Etude House Any Cushion Decoden Kit | #1 Eat, Play, Love

Sets Available: 2

Price: $9.93

Hello everyone!

Today's review is on Etude House's Any Cushion Decoden Kit.


First of all I'd like to point out how absolutely adorable this kit is. There's two different sets: the Eat, Play, Love & the Flower Holic.

The box it came in was a little damaged, but all the materials were in there, so it's okay. It came with a Cream Glue, two plastic piping tips, and a bag full of charms/cabochon type things. (?)

The glue was very thick which made it very hard to pipe the designs when the bottle when it was almost empty. My favorite tip design was definitely the thin star-like one. It gave a "realistic" icing look to the case. However, like I said, since the glue was so thick, I had to use the other one to be able to stick the charms down, and cover up the visible spots with the thinner tip.

(First cushion.)

It was really fun being able to decorate it on my own, I would love to get the second one if it is still available. The Eat, Play, Love one was nice, but I feel like the Flower-Holic is more of my taste. Above and below are two out of the many cushion cases I decorated. Out of all, I felt these two were the most presentable so I hope they don't look too bad.

(Second cushion.)

Some tips I recommend are to definitely plan out how you want your case to look. I merely placed the charms how I'd like them to look, and then decided on what kind of icing design. Mine are really simple, I started to run out of ideas towards the end though, so several design patterns would really help.

(Both of the cushions side by side.)

I hoped you enjoyed this short, quick review! As always if you have any questions/comments/recommendations please don't be afraid to let me know, and I will answer as quick as I can!

Product Empties of July

Product Empties | July 2016

Hello Everyone!

Today, instead of a usual review, I will be showing you all my product empties of this month. I'm not sure of how often I will be doing these though, due to the fact that I am still completely broke. However, I hope you all enjoy!

First up is the Etude House Collagen Moistfull Cream. I've had this since a while back, and finally used up the last of it. It came in a little set with a travel sized essence, however it spilled and there wasn't any product left in it. Overall it was a really nice winter moisturizer, it was really thick and sometimes a little heavy on the skin, so I mostly used it at night. In the morning my skin felt so moisturized. It worked wonders for my dry patches, especially all around my nose.

Continuing on with skincare, in my Clio Cosmetics haul you can see I got this skincare set from Goodal, a brand under Clio Cosmetics, as a gift. I brought this with me when I went on vacation and I'm seriously considering buying the full sizes of everything. All three of the steps were so moisturizing, and lightweight. They gave my skin the perfect moisture and left a nice dewy glow on my face. There is a slight almost floral scent, but it didn't bother me in any way.

Another skincare product I liked, was the Skinfood Facial Ice Vita Mist. It evenly coated my skin in a really nice cooling layer of mist. A trick I discovered was to keep it in the fridge for it to be even colder and refreshing.

The next thing I'll talk about is the Etude House Skin Mal:Gem Toner in Fresh. I do know that this is an old product. It was an okay product, definitely not one of my favorites. There was a very strong rubbing alcohol scent, and it even burnt my face the first time I applied it. Which probably meant I shouldn't be using it, but the stinging sensation went away the more I used it. This was supposed to control the oiliness in my skin by balancing the PG levels. It did do that, however the amount of alcohol in it and the burning made me not want to buy it again.

The last skincare products I will talk about are the Lush Fresh Face Masks (not pictured). If you didn't know, I am a huge fan of Lush so when I finally decided to invest in one of their face masks, you know I'd end up wanting to try them all. Now I don't have pictures of all of the masks because if you bring back 5 clean empty pots with a sticker that says so, you can have a free face mask! Okay, so my first one ever was Cupcake. It is described on their website as a chocolate mint treat for oily or spotty skin. It did have a very strong scent, but it was so amazing to apply, since they are supposed to be kept in the fridge, it was very cooling. It was easy to remove, and left my skin feeling flawless. I'm going to spare you all of the possible two page review on these face masks and just talk about one more. Another one that I purchased was Rosy Cheeks. It is supposed to calm and cleanse from cheek to cheek as stated on their website, and of course it did just that. It was definitely thicker than Cupcake, it had more of a clay feeling to it. (There's rose clay and kaolin in it). It dried very smoothly and left my skin feeling very clean and smooth. I highly recommend Lush's products to anyone and everyone.

Onto makeup! After purchasing something at Ulta Beauty, I actually forget what I bought, I received an Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion package (?) It came with four samples of their eyeshadow primer potions, the Original, Eden, Sin, and Anti-Aging. I was always curious about them, but never really looked into buying them. I'm not that loyal with eyeshadow primers, or primers in general. I am more familiar with face primers due to my combination skin. However, I quite enjoyed these, my favorite out of the bunch was Eden. It's described as a nude matte formula that preps the lids and prevents shadow meltdown. I remember using it when I was in the plays at my school and my eyeshadow didn't budge so I'm guessing it worked.

Finally, the last empty product(s) I will be talking about today in this post, are two of Mac's lipsticks. They are in the shades Patisserie and Angel. I am 100% certain that Patisserie is my holy grail lipstick from Mac, but first I'll talk about Angel. I remember looking to see what kind of lipstick I could buy and everyone online was like, Angel is a must have in your Mac lipstick collection. It was an okay lipstick, it's just too pale for my skin tone. It's also a frost, and I'm very picky about frosted lipsticks. I did pass it along to my Mom who absolutely loves it. I even bought her another one because the original one broke. Okay, onto Patisserie. It is a lustre formula and described as a sheer creamy neutral pink. Even though it's a little nub I continue to use it every day, and it stays in my purse 24/7. It's perfect for an all around light layer of lipstick. If you love gradient lips but don't like the chalkiness concealer or foundation can leave, just replace it with a layer of this and it gives such a lovely natural flush of color. 

So I hope you all enjoyed this product empties, let me know what you thought down below. As always if you have any questions/comments/recommendations please don't be afraid to let me know, I will answer as fast as I can!

Clio Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow #3 Dark Brown

Clio Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow | #3 Dark Brown

Shades Available: 3

Price: $18.18

Clio Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow

(front packaging)

Hi everyone!

Today's review is on Clio's Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow in number 3, Dark Brown.

I was very excited to review this just as the rest of the Clio products I bought. I got mine in Dark Brown, if I knew I was going to dye my hair this much lighter I would've chosen a different shade, but it doesn't matter that much to me.

(top of packaging)

(product)

I love the details on the packaging of this product. But then again I've been loving all of Clio's packaging lately. 

This product is Korea's 1st 2-in-1 eyebrow product and has sold over 1 million in the first 6 months that it launched, based on the total drugstore sales in Korea. The three shades are #1 Earth Brown which is a natural brown that matches best with dark hair, #2 Soft Brown: a light brown perfect for light colored hair, and #3 Dark Brown: a darker shade of brown for natural, darker hair.

(all of this info is from Clio Professional's english website)

(back of product)

As you can see on the back, it lists the shade you have and where the Tattoo Pen and Brow Mascara is located.

(tattoo pen, sorry for change of background)

(brow mascara)

(swatch on wrist)

The pen shade is light compared to the mascara, but together they have a nice contrast. The pen works really well and is easy to draw with. The mascara part is a little difficult at first. For me it picks up waay too much product, so I have to scrape off 95% of it back into the tube. It also evenly tints your brow hairs. I also noticed that after I apply the mascara, I blot it (.?). I guess just in case if there is any more extra product.

 Both sides are great and go well together. I blended a small blob of the mascara on my wrist and after it dried, rubbed it. It lightened up a lot but was still visibly there. Even when I rubbed water on it and wiped it off, it was still slightly visible, the same goes for the pen side as well. I do actually recommend this. I think it's a nice product, although the price is a little high. I would rather save up and purchase it in a set like I did before. 

I hope you liked the review.  If you haven't seen my Clio Professional haul, here it is.
