Hello Everyone!

Today's review is on Aritaum's Honey Melting Tint in the fourth shade, Raspberry Cake.

Just a quick notice, that since this packaging is so reflective, it was hard to get nice shots of it... especially since I have a crappy camera.

This product I saw a while back as well, as most of the reviews I will be posting lately, as I haven't bought anything in a while... due to me being broke. It was very popular back towards the end of last year.

This product isn't one of my favorites, if you couldn't tell by my lack of enthusiasm in this post. As it is a 'honey melting tint', I just didn't expect it to feel so thick and waxy almost. The scent of it reminds me of baby soap or baby products in general, or a really cheap cosmetic smell.

The color however, as you can see above is absolutely gorgeous, which is one of the only reasons I still force myself to wear this tint. I love layering it with a couple more products to help mask the scent and to give the color an even better look.

Under the flash you can really see just how glossy it is, but as I said before it is a sticky, waxy kind of glossy. Even if you rub it off, you're left with a residue where ever you applied it. If you are wondering, it didn't leave a noticeable stain on my lips after wearing it for a couple of hours or after wiping off.

I really hate giving bad reviews on a product, but it really just wasn't for me, although the color is absolutely gorgeous. If you guys end up trying it out, let me know your thoughts and experience with this product because I'm really interested!

I'm sorry for such a short, blunt, and negative review today. I'll make sure the next review is on a product I've been loving lately! 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!

Hello Everyone!

Today's review is on PeriPera's Peri's Ink in number one, It Lips.

This lip tint is absolutely amazing, and I truly mean it. The color choices were so hard to choose from, at least in my opinion. So I thought to myself and decided on the first shade, the pink, because I realized I barely had any pink lip products in general. 

Here's just a quick picture of the bottom of the box. Back to the lip tint, everything about it is completely amazing. The shade, the texture, the lasting power, everything! Below I added a picture of the actual packaging, and only after having it with me did I realize that the top 'dropper' wasn't real. It's just a part of the packaging, which is adorable in my opinion.

On the back of the bottle there is the PeriPera logo, as well as the usual information on the bottom. Now, let's start getting into detail about why I love this lip stain. 

First off, the applicator sponge is nice and flat which makes it to easy to apply to the lips, with just one swipe you get such a pigmented color pay off. As soon as you put it on your lip, you have to blend quickly or else you'll end up with a stain in the shape of that line, which honestly doesn't bother me.

 Here you can see below, a swatch of this wonderful lip ink. It truly does last the entire day. Finally a lip product that lasts through my torture. If you didn't know already, lip products rarely last an hour+ on my lips because I'm always chewing or picking at them, which is actually really bad, but is a hard habit to break. The color itself is pretty neon, however if you blend it out, it will tone it down slightly. If you want to tone it down even further, you can put a sheer nude lipstick overtop of it such as MAC's Patisserie, which is my all time favorite MAC lipstick.

As you can see below, if you don't blend it in quick enough, the stain left behind will stay like that. 

Anyway, that was my review on this new favorite product of mine. 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!

Etude House Give Me Chocolate Shadow #3 Cacao Fudge

Hello Everyone!!

Today's review is on Etude House's Give Me Chocolate Shadow in Cacao Fudge. 

Once again this is one of my older products, that I completely forgot to post a review on. I decided to post something today because of the event in Orlando. I am keeping everyone in my prayers.

Onto the review! This was from last spring (?) I believe. However, I still use it constantly.

If you didn't know already, I always seem to love Etude Houses packaging, and this product certainly didn't let me down. Once again, I wasn't expecting it to be this tiny, but as I am noticing lately, a lot of the products are smaller than they seem. Which isn't a bad thing necessarily, it means it's travel friendly, and looks even cuter. 

Here is what the eyeshadow looks like. The chocolate is such a nice warm shade that helps contour the eye perfectly, as the gold is a more chunkier glitter shadow. The gold is perfect for highlighting the inner corner, the aegyo-sal, or even just for lightly patting over the entire eyeshadow look. 

Whenever I'm going somewhere, or looking for a mini palette that's very simple, I just grab this. In my opinion, there's no way you can really go wrong with this little duo. 

And finally, here's a swatch on my wrist. I hope you liked this review! Once again, my prayers are going out to everyone in Orlando. 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!
