Korean Lip Tints: Etude House,The Saem & Skinfood (Swatches & Review)


I got a little bit obsess with korean lip tints they are so affordable and can be worn all year long no matter what age group!

The products I'm gonna show and mention in today's blog post are:

Etude House Dear Darling Tint #1
The Saem Saemmul Real Tint #3
Skinfood Tomato Cool Jelly Tint

Here are some of my thoughts I'd like to share with you starting with my least favorite product which is Skin food's tomato tint I have high hopes and expectations for this one.I'm disappointed when I tried and used it because it has a perfume scent,the jelly like texture is okay most of all it has the least color payoff. I also has a tear drop shape like applicator which I somewhat appreciate.


The Next two items namely Etude House Dear Darling Tint and The Saem Saemmul Real Tint they both have the same fruity,sweet scent which I love! On application The Saem's color is more rich and vibrant!much sweeter than Etude House.





















As for their Applicator, Etude got a much more slightly bended portion in the end while The Saem felt a lot more sturdy.

Overall, I think these two tints are great! it all goes down which brand you're most fond of and the packaging (if that ever matters to you).

Although when I tried to remove it with an oil base lip makeup remover The Saem's stain is the toughest one to budge and so I choose The Saem in the end if ever I'd recommend one of the two haha!

Nyx cream blush : Natural | Makeup Review & swatch



I have dry skin,cool,yellow undertone so after my usual skincare routine once I applied this on my cheeks I look more alive haha!

It's indeed natural looking as if I have no makeup on.


Very pigmented! so a little goes a long way! My favorite application of this wonderful product would have to be my fingers I just dab little tiny dots on my cheeks then blend it and it's very easy to blend!

After that sometimes I top it off with my powdered blush by benefit which is called Dandelion just to give it a matte lookin finish then spray some face mist on my face to absolutely locked in the color.

Overall the cream blush itself last for a very long time on my face approximately 8 hours or so even so it fades beautifully! It's also cruelty free and got 12 months shelf life (once opened) totally worth it for the price! Can't beat that! Overall 5 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend it!

Memebox I'm lipstick Lure Red Edition Review & swatch




Got a subtle floral scent, it doesn't have any chemical taste but you know the smell when you open a brand new thing its kinda like that haha
Very creamy,hydrating,long lasting and pigmented!


same size as the first line on my lil finger haha



with one layer on  (natural sunlight)


with 3 layers on (natural sunlight) so as you can see it's very buildable! And I think it would suit all skintones.


Even though the color transfers and there's like a tiny amount here I love it! Overall 5 out of 5 stars!

Nyx Creme Matte San Paulo Swatch and Review


Pros:
Smells like vanilla
Hydrating
Great color pay off
Affordable
Last a long time (18 months once opened, as for wear time it can  4-6 hours still depends how many times you eat,drink,lick/bite your lips haha)
Travel friendly
Cruelty free

Cons:
-Lip color on teeth alert!
-Some lip product might transfer to your food (I noticed it when I ate a pork bun)
-Depends on your lip condition since I have dry lips sometimes as the color fades...when I looked into the mirror closely my lips became chapped and I just have to remove all the lip color to remove the lil fragments and then applied some lip balm/creamy lip product.
-Lil container= lil product volume



Natural Sunlight


Indoors, Flourescent Light

after I ate my meal 

the color was almost gone so a touch up after a meal is in order. 


After 4 hours of application (Natural Sunlight)so it looks a lil bit lighter after 4 hours ( Natural Sunlight )


 I love how this product feels on my lips and for the price with 4-5 hours lasting power ain't so bad so overall,  4.5 out of 5 stars first time I fell in love with cream matte product! I think this one is suitable for my needs/dry lips haha I highly recommend it!

My thoughts:

It's actually part of the opening ceremony free gift since I bought their Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion anyway, simple packaging, great product inside,what I like about this lipstick is the creme finish, it looks very natural on me and I think it would look good on everyone in any season so it's very versatile. It has a subtle fragrant/scent in it too but it goes away overtime. As for lasting power around 4 hours or so depends really...Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars if you wanna splurge on lip products I think this is a really good brand! ^_^

Coreana Essence Lip Collection (2 Wine Burgundy) | Makeup Review





Information Source: Korea Depart
Manufacturer: Coreana
Country of Origin: Republic of Korea
Volume: 3.2g

My thoughts:

A little bit goes a long way...it seems dark on the transparent part of the container and when you put it on at first.
As you can see on the swatch here the first one on the left I blended out a bit more it has a dusty rose tone while the right hand side is the first swipe straight out the container so it's kinda liquidy but not too runny.

Natural,Dry lips

Here's what it looks like in natural light outdoors so it's more dusty rose on the upper part of my lips while the bottom part is kinda bright borderline red-pink

While indoors under florescent light (I took this one during night time) it's more natural looking and has that bright red-orangey tone.


It's very moisturizing! more like a lip stain than a lipstick and not sticky at all! It can be a bit tricky to put it on since I'm not used to this kind of packaging.The downside for me is that it's so perfumey I can taste it so I usually just let it settle down to dry for a couple of minutes and smell/taste eventually goes away over time.Anyway, it's quite long lasting,fades beautifully and I love the Gold and White packaging it looks so high end. Overall 4 out of 5 stars!

Aritaum Full Cover Stick Concealer (Light Beige) | Makeup Review

Info. Source: Korea Depart
Manufacturer: Hwasung
Country of Origin: Republic of Korea
Volume: 2 g


roll/twist it like a lipstick to push the product upwards



My thoughts:

I bought this product at Koreadepart for $4.88.There are only two shades available which is Light Beige and Natural Beige. This kinda reminds me of the Maybelline stick concealer minus the brush on the other end. It has a creamy texture, nice and smooth coverage..it doesn't make my face too bright or patchy...the brush is soft and quite handy too especially whenever I don't want to use my fingers.It took me 2-3 applications under my eyes and to cover some blemishes on my cheek.it works well and nicely for me although it almost has the same effect like my Nyx HD concealer I sometimes use both products hand in hand especially when my skin is a bit dry haha  Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars! it's light,travel friendly,easy to use and affordable.

Rimmel Provocalips 16HR KISSPROOF LIP COLOUR (730 Make your move) | Makeup Review




Info. Source: Rimmel London Website

Claims:

• Kiss proof, transfer proof, food proof high impact endless colour.

• No tight feeling or dry lips. Lips feel smooth and moisturized all day long.
• Easy removal with Oil based makeup remover

STEP 1: Apply colour and keep lips apart for 60 seconds until the product sets.
STEP 2: Apply topcoat to lock the colour, moisture and add shine.











Normal lip color,dry lips


The top picture shows just with the lip color while the picture under it is when the gloss was applied it adds more shine and moisture.

The Gloss- kinda smells like chinese herbal medicine




Clean side

My Thoughts:

I really like this product for being Kiss proof, transfer proof and food proof. I just put it once and the color never fades and stays in place for a very long time! not sure about 16 hours since I don't wear it that long as it can be a bit dry especially after 5 hours I can see the line and cracks on my lips. Anyway, 730 Make your move is definitely the closest to my normal lip color it looks so natural on as if I'm not wearing any lipstick. The lip color part feels kinda like paint haha Overall 3.5 out of 5 stars! 
Its funny how it has the same color as my tongue haha!
