Etude House Dear My Enamel Lips-Talk #RD305

Etude House Dear My Enamel Lips-Talk | #RD305
Shades Available: 10
Price: $8.48
3.5g


Hello everyone!

Today's review is on Etude House's Dear My Enamel Lips-Talk, in RD305 갈팡질팡레드. 

Lately I've been loving brown-red lip colors. So when I first swatched this, I was so excited to start wearing it. 




Here is what the sides of the packaging look like. The ingredients are in English as well as the description, directions, and a caution, which are underneath it in Korean. It also has the net wt, .12 oz/3.5g.The back of the box simply looks like the front, only with a picture of what the packaging of the lipstick looks like, with Dear My Enamel Lips-Talk in it. 




The top has a sticker of a cute pair of lips, as well as the name of the lipstick. The color of the lips do change with the different lipstick shades, if you were wondering.




Here is what the tube looks like. As always it has the cute bow that all Etude House lipsticks have, which I really love. As well as a nice design at the top of the cap




The bottom of the lipstick has the expiration date, 2018-11-09. As well as the name of the collection, shade of lipstick etc. etc. I love the shape of this lipstick, it looks like Innisfree's Creammellow collection. When I first swatched this, it was so smooth and glossy. It has a nice sheen to it, as you can see in the picture below. It's a very nice brown-red, although the picture doesn't do it justice. With the flash on, you get to see just how moisturizing this lipstick is. When you apply it, it just melts into your lips, it lasts a while too! 








I definitely hope to purchase more of these lipsticks, the texture of them is what I love best. I don't have any downsides really, to me it's just an amazing lipstick. It really does remind me of Innisfree's Creammellow Lipstick collection, which is maybe why I love it so much, since I almost have that entire collection. Maybe this will be another collection that I hope to purchase most of.

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

Have a great day!

Lioele Waterdrop Sleeping Pack

Lioele Waterdrop Sleeping Pack
Price: $12.62
120mL


Hello everyone!
Today's review is on Lioele's Waterdrop Sleeping Pack. I've actually wanted to test this out for a while now, so I was really happy when it finally came in the mail.


side of the box
Here's the side of the box that's in English, the other side is in Korean, and the back has a QR code. It has a description of the product, directions, ingredients, and a caution on it. The caution just says the usual things: "For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear. Keep out of reach of children." etc. etc.


I couldn't wait to see the water droplets form when I swatched it, but first, more on the packaging!






Here's the front and back of the product. It says that it's good for 12 months after opening, the jar with 12 on it. The manufacturing date is at the top of the bottle on the front. The packaging is pretty literal, nothing to simple or over the top. It's around 7 1/2 inches tall, so it may not be travel friendly for some, but for me it's fine. There was a film that you peeled off before using, and for the product to come out, just simply squeeze it.






I have had samples of this product so I definitely knew I wanted this product before I spend $13 dollars on it. The color is a light baby blue, and there is a slight scent to it. Something else that I noticed was that when you first squeeze it out, without it blended yet or anything, it has a matte finish. I don't know, I just thought it was something random, and cool.


just squeezed out

As soon as I started to rub the product in, the texture completely changed. it went from almost creamy, to a light watery texture. The water droplets are so unique and really screamed to me that this product was actually going to do something. Unlike some other packs where you don't notice a big change. After it absorbed, my skin had a nice glow and almost a thin layer of moisture over it. 


my wrist isn't broken I swear, I had to do a weird angle for the droplets to photograph properly.

When I woke up my face felt so hydrated and plump! I've been using it every night since. I think of it as a second moisturizer. Especially since my acne medication drys out my skin so much, and the cold winter air isn't helping at all. My skin needs all the moisture it can get right now, and this pack is definitely improving it. 

I don't really have any complaints about it except for the price. As well as if you're sensitive or don't like using things that have scents, then that obviously would be a downside. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the review. feel free to stick around for some more amateur reviews. Lately I've been testing out Tony Moly's BCDation Water Pact, so expect to see that review sometime in the near by future. As always if you have any questions/comments/reccomendations on anything let me know, and I will respond as soon as I can.

Innisfree Skinny Microcara #1 Black

Innisfree Skinny Microcara | #1 Black
Shades Available: 2
Price: $8.91
5g


Hi everyone!

Long time no see! Happy holidays as well. Today's review will be on Innisfree's Skinny Microcara in the first shade, Black.

There are two shades in this mascara, black and brown. Starting on the packaging, I personally love Innisfree's packaging. I like its simplicity especially compared to some of the other brands out there on the market lately. 


On the back of the packaging it was sealed with a sticker (above). It didn't come in a box or anything, as it looks above is how it looked when I received it. I would've actually preferred if it came in a box compared to this sticker because it left a sticky residue on it. Even though I can remove it, it would've been nice to not have it in general.



On the top of the handle, it has a sticker that is once again telling you the size of this brush, 2.5mm. I had absolutely no idea what 2.5 mm looked like until I opened the product. All I can say is that the name of this product lives up to it because it is honestly the thinnest mascara wands I've ever come across. I actually love the fact that it's so skinny not only because it is even easier to apply to the lower lashes, but also because it separates my lashes and makes them look really natural. Compared to if I had a regular one where I usually have to use a mascara comb to de-tangle my lashes while trying not to poke my eye out. Let's just say I'm not the best at multi-tasking. It also lasted the entire day, it even held the curl. Unfortunately it isn't waterproof, but with my oily eyelids etc. it lasted all day, which is a great thing for me.



One thing I am disappointed about this mascara, is the small amount of product you actually get. That long part of the packaging is actually a part of the wand, no, it is not where the actual product is kept. That little 2 1/4 inch part at the bottom is where it is. So if you're heavy-handed on the mascara, I'm just warning you now. However, since I usually just go for natural looks, I don't need that much, I don't even have to swish the wand in again for the other eye. 




Another thing I'm not really crazy about this mascara is that it flaked, you can see it in the picture above. Which usually isn't a problem for me, in which I was surprised. When I got home after wearing this, I don't know if it was because I wore glasses and with my lashes hitting them, but I had a couple flakes under my eyes. It wasn't anything drastic, I just thought to inform you all. 

I would totally repurchase this item. If I was better at computer editing, I could be like those really cool blogs that have the ratings like 5 strawberries out of 5. But I'm not so, maybe later on in life I'll figure it out to make my posts more eye-popping and exciting, so I just don't have to rely on my dry humor. 
Anyways, Thank you all for reading this review of Innisfree's Skinny Microcara Mascara. As always if you have any questions or requests for certain products etc. , I will try my best to try and fulfill that. 

Happy Holidays,
-Sleepy Strawberry
