Beauty Wishlist part 7 (Anti-haul almost haha :)))

A lot of these products I haven't tried anything from the brand. This wishlist is currently into my online obsessions circle of things haha it is a bit cray there are lots of products that seems to be launching here and there. Tons of sales everywhere! Consumerism at its finest! but for now indulge me as I share with you some of the products that crossed my mind. Also I just found out about this anti haul videos on youtube which is kinda inspiring and empowering really

let me present to you the originator of such video: Kimberly Clark!

Here's my list:

All rights reserved to the owners of this pictures which I screen grabbed from the internet and pinterest ^_^v

I'm sure by now you've already heard of this Palette if not well this is inspired by the Renaissance era hence the name. I love the cranberry shades in this also there are some orange tones which is great for the fall season or if you just love these kind of colors in general haha

Price: $42 

you do get 14 eyeshadows so it's like you're paying $3/pan which is not bad. Looking at the swatches,online raves,reviews and hype if you are in that kind of thing the pigmentation and quality seems great!

Sun Designer Palette By Terry

The moment I saw this I was at awe like angels singing and lights streaming haha this cost about $82 WHOA! I know right?! Is this worth it? maybe..I haven't swatched it or anything in real like I just saw it in a youtube video and I just love the design and the color pigment seems I guess ok since it does cost a lot haha isn't that always the thing ohh it's so expensive it must be really good! oh terry I could only reach you in my dreams for now...Just so you know I love your design and the concept of it all it's just for now...I can't : )))

The Love Your Selfie 2 by Pur Cosmetics. I like the concept of it, the message its trying to send out to the world then again it almost seems too gimmicky to me you know what I'm saying? I'd like to try Pur Cosmetics for so long and I think this kit is nice although I don't really like sharpeningg lip things haha I don't have any green shadows in this shade range and I like the cranberry shade other than that it's all pretty basic and neutral. I'd like to see more orangey tones since it is their Fall collection. This Set retails for $42 which is $3 more than their 1st selfie palette but with this sequel you do get a lip pencil.

watch this video by Nicole

and read this blogpost by Sona: http://simplysona.com/2016/07/pur-cosmetics-love-your-selfie-2-palette/#more-14936

with their code of 20% off code whether you choose NICOL or SONA this palette will now cost $33 something not sure about tax but if you get it from the pur cosmetics website they do offer complimentary shipping which is nice and if this set expires let say in 24months once opened it's like $15/year and with 14 products it's like $2.35+ each not bad...

I haven't heard of this brand to be honest and this product is from Pure Cosmetics I stumble upon this brand when I was googling swatches for the PUR cosmetics mineral eyeshadow love your selfie 2 haha anyway this is PURE COSMETICS Essential Makeup Set which retails for $40 originally $60

What it is:

 What it does:

- 1 x Lip Brush

- 1 x 2-in-1 Eyeshadow/Eyeliner Brush

I think this is a nice beginner's kit although I haven't tried any of their products but looking at this set it does contain a lot of product!(eyes,lips & cheeks) can't beat that for that price! although they're all neutral and limited edition! but if you're into that and haven't got any shades quite like this I feel like you might like this one. As for me I like how travel friendly it is,it seems compact and durable the thing is I feel like neutral shadows looks the same to me and the I don't really get to inspired with these shades.I could only get the basic look for this still dunno how to feel about it haha

This Palette is from Juvia's place haven't heard of it till August 1,2016 apparently they're new launched around April 1 which everyone thought was a joke. Mostly popular at instagram since that's where some youtubers say how they found out about this. This is the Nubian 2 Palette which was inspired by an African Empire in old Egypt, headed by the beauty icon named Nefertiti. She was famously endowed with strength and spirituality. This palette consists of 12 versatile arraign of metallic shades and matte shades. 

Consists of 4 Matte Colors and 8 metallic pop of colors .

Each Pan Net Weight : 3.5 g /0.12 OZ

Product is Cruelty Free.

I'd like to show you a picture of the very 1st Nubian collection in light green cardboard which consists of 12 rich and highly pigmented Nude shades. Brows, Golds, and some Neutrals. But for some reason I have a hard time  pasting that picture here ugh anyway so it has 4 Transition Matte Colors and 8 shimmery/ Pearl Textured Colors 

Ingredients
Talc, Mineral Oil, Magnesium Stearate, Iron Oxides, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Mica, Kaolin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Chromium Oxide Greens, Manganese Violet, FD & C Yellow 5 Al Lake, FD&C Blue 1 Al Lake.

Net Wt: 18 grams / 0.63 oz

If ALLERGIES occur please discontinue use.If you have ALLERGIES please do not use.

Whoa reading the disclaimer bout the 1st one seems kinda alarming to me what do you thing? although the 1st one consist more of the warm tones I think I was attracted to this first but the 2nd one seems more fun and vibrant and does look as if you're getting more in the 2nd one due to its size.

The thing about Juvia's place I watched some youtube videos about some drama bout a winner who won a giveaway but didn't get it or whatever also bad customer service I hope they fixed that and let me find that video.

she also made a blogpost about it . So yeah take what you will from that. As for now Imma just gonna wait patiently til my next Palette calls me haha

Let's Duo Chrome this SHHhhh!

Oh you know just me experimenting on things like colors and SHHHhh! haha!

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!

Left to Right: Skinfood, The Saem & Etude House

Top to bottom: Etude House,The Saem & Skinfood

There you have it! I hope you find this post helpful. Have you tried any of these? if so which one is your favorite? if you haven't please give it a shot and let me know in the comments below what are your thoughts about these products! I love hearing from you.

Huge Korean Beauty Haul! (Dodo cat,Crayon Shinchan,Kakao & Line Friends Edition) & more!

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!

Best of Beauty 2015 | FAVORITES & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED | MAKEUP

If you haven't already and you're interested in Skincare please read my Best of Beauty 2015  FAVORITES & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED : SKINCARE ok Next up is Make up!

These are the products I use almost everyday in 2015 with slight variations to my routine from time to time so I can rotate and use them all.

Note: I have dry to normal,sensitive skin with a slight tendency of pimples/acne around my jaw area and sometimes on my cheeks and forehead. Dry areas usually on my cheeks. Some of the products here I got reviews on my blog(s) some don't and I'd would some mini reviews beside it but please feel free to click the product links for more info/where you can buy them etc. 

Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse - my go to product! very,nice and easy to use, Affordable as well. Compact and travel friendly. I use this whenever I don't have time to blend my own mix of foundation haha

NYX Cosmetics Concealer Wand- Wonderful product! First repurchased concealer!

After I used up all my Nyx I tried and love Aritaum Full Cover Stick Concealer (Light Beige)

soft and creamy, kinda like maybelline stick but this one got a brush on the other end which is nice. It covers my blemishes,buildable coverage,quite long lasting and affordable!

TONY MOLY Latex Free Moisture Puff- kinda like a beauty blender but flat. This is the sponge I use to blend my foundation and concealer I use this product so many times it has a slight tear already but doesn't disintegrate.It Blends my makeup evenly and perfectly!

Now on with the lip products I got a little obsess with them lately I bought quite a lot and started to slowly use them one by one xD

Nature Republic Real Gel Tint

Real Gel Tint- I actually gave this to my mom she loves the color,it's moisturizing too although it doesn't really last very long but gives off a nice natural healthy stain on the lips.

TONY MOLY Tony Tint & Delight Tint Crayon- beautiful red color although it doesn't really last very long, smells and taste like candy (I don't recommend eating/drinking it though haha :))

Coreana Essence Lip Collection (2 Wine Burgundy) - Great dusty rose color, first time I used this kind of lipstick/lip stain, smells like perfume. A little bit goes a long way although if you put too much like I did the first time you'll see this product on your teeth and definitely taste the perfume which was off putting ugh -_- but overall I love the color pay off it stays on for 6 hours or so and leaves a nice rosy lip stain and the packaging looks so high end and classy!
