Etude house Wonder Pore Toner Review

It is definitely the best toner Ive ever used!!
I have tried a bunch of toners but Wonder Pore Freshner really did a great job on my skin. 

This is the 10 in 1 total solution product that effectively cleans the inside and outside pores with its special peppermint extract. 

Some of the claims of these Wonder Pore Toner are: 
- Balance skin's ideal PH level
- Refine skin tones
- Keep the elasticity of pores
- Remove Skin surface's dead skin cells
- Cleanse pore insides with cooling effect
- Deep cleanse pores
- Minimize appearance of pores
- Control a large amount of sebum
- Moisturize inside and outside of skin
- Complete smooth glass-like texture

Ive tried and tested this for a month now and i almost run out of it already, This has been my favorite out of all the toners i have. It really minimized the appearance of my pores and one thing I love about this product is that, it is not harsh on my eyes ,my face became soft and smooth that i can actually go out with a bare face. It also gives my face a healthy appearance. 

I highly recommend this product, its on a pricey side for a korean drugstore brand but definitely worth your money..

Sleek Skin Revive Foundation Review

Earlier this morning , I have received my package from Sleek Makeup. Im planning to have a haul video of it by next week. I was very excited to try everything that i got but i wanted to do a first impression aswell. So i decided to just try the Foundation that came with it. It is a Skin Revive Foundation, I have it in shade "sand".

First, I was impressed with the packaging. It reminds me of born this way foundation by too faced, just a little bit though. I love that it has a pump. 

Next, the consistency is just fine, by swatching it at the back of my hand, it felt very smooth and it has just a right amount of thickness to it. 

But..... When i started applying it on my face using a beauty blender, it felt very weird. It didnt show up, as if i did not put any product on my face. I even tried to put a second layer but still nothing happened. Its very easy to blend but it has no coverage at all.. I was very disappointed with what happened, so i just decided to put on another foundation that i really love. 

I am not recommending this product because it has no coverage at all.

Stila All day Liquid Lipstick Review

Ive been very obsessed with LIQUID LIPSTICKS this past few months, aside from being trendy nowadays its has been my go-to lippie for quite sometime now. 

And STILA Liquid Lipstick has been my favorite among all the liquid lipsticks in my collection. I only have 3 shades which came in a holiday set .

Ricco is a dark berry shade which is really a perfect shade for holiday season. 
Beso is a true red shade and Baci is the lightest shade among the 3 its a nude shade perfect for everyday makeup look. 

It has a mousse consistency and it smells like vanilla cake. (Yuuuummmmm)

Formula wise, i love it. it is very creamy, the finish actually is creamy-matte. It has vitamin E which helps to moisturize the lips. It stays on my lips up to almost 8 hours . I dont have to retouch it. Plus i get to combine all the shades to create a lip ombre look. 

I highly recommend this product although its quite pricey but the formula is just PERFECTION.. 

❤️❤️❤️💋💄

Maybelline Lip Gradation

Ive already found another lipstick favorite from maybelline. Ive been eyeing these lip crayons for a very long time and finally Ive got to try and test them. And so far ive been loving these very pigmented lip crayons. 

I bought 3 shades i.e, fushia1 , red2, and orange1. Here in south korea they are  into reverse ombre lip trend but I really dont see myself trying the reverse lip ombre. 

The color pay-off of these lipsticks are very phenomenal. It doesnt come-off easily and it has a long staying power on the lips. Although its matte, its not drying on my lips. I can say that it stays up to 8 hours on my lips so i highly recommend these.. 

They have 6 shades available here but i find it somehow very similar to other colors thats why i only chose 3 vibrant colors to try and test. 

Up on my channel is an in-depth review if these babies.. Please click the link below

COVER FX custom cover drops

This is the most raved product in youtube world.

A revolutionary drop formula of concentrated pigments that allows you to weightlessly transform products in your beauty regimen into your ideal coverage. 

So this is suppose to mix in with your moisturizer, a serum or even your current foundation. They have a wide range of shades , from very fair skintone to deep skintones. I have mine in shade G20 . 

I havent tried it yet with my moisturizer nor serum, but Ive already tried it with my foundation and the result was very unbelievable. It made my complexion flawless. I just tried it with 2 drops but it already made a full coverage. I will try it on its own for few days and see the comparison of using with it a foundation or by itself. 

I will definitely repurchase this cover drops when i ran out. I highly recommend the product to every skin type.. This will make a huge diifference on your complexion

SKINFOOD - Pore Fit Cushion Bottle

Skinfood released their own version of cushion foundation which is the new trend here in South Korea nowadays. And as to what i have noticed while using this cute bottle of beauty, it really deserves a good review. 

Aside from the cute packaging of this, the formula is also great. Theres just this one thing that i dont like , its the smell , although its not that overpowering and its definitely tolerable. 

As for the coverage, i can say it is light coverage, just enough to cover up uneven skintones. I havent tried to build it up but i will be posting an update if the cushion bottle's coverage can be a medium to full coverage. 

One thing that really surprised me was the "cooling effect" while putting it on my face. Its the first cushion foundation that i tried with cooling effect and I like it. 

I highly recommend this product especially if you just want a light
Coverage.

SEPHORA ADDICTION

Just recently , I got really hooked with Sephora. Though its my first time ordering to them, i can say its really addictive. I really love the value sets they offer. Of course you'll get to have samples when you check out. 

The reason why I ordered stuffs from them is because, theres just this one time,   I got an email from sephora that I'll get to have a birthday gift when i purchase on their site (It was my birthday month then). 

Most of the things i got was from their Holiday Sets, its the time of the year when they get to put on value sets for an affordable price. 

Here are the things i purchased from their website: 

Tarte Light of the Party make up collectors case $59 
Too faced beautifully blushed and bronzed $25
Too faced melted french kisses $25
Too faced little black book of bronzers $49

FACESHOP - Black Label Lipsticks

Already up on my channel is another Lip swatch Video. This time I featured Faceshop's Black label Lipsticks. 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BAFxSCNiXrQ

As im swatching it on my lips, i can say that the quality is very good. It is very creamy. The opacity is great. It is a satin finish i would say. The only thing that really turned me off is the shade #437 (rady wine) . I love berry shades but Im not a fan of this particular lippie because it has a very intense sheen on the lips. 

My most favorite out of all is shade #10 (fashion red) . It is somehow matte with a very subtle sheen. I love the consistency. 





Lippie shade : #10 Fashion Red

With regards to the consistency of the product, i must say for an affordable price , it is a great product, the opacity is good. It is matte but not too drying on the lips. It has a scent that is not too overpowering. Red tones are very flattering. 

I highly recommend this product..

LA colors: PureLy Matte Lipstick

These Lipsticks has a good texture. I personally love using these because it really moisturizes my lips, it contains Aloe and Vitamin E which really helps my lips to be soft.  Although its a drugstore product, it really gives the benefits of a high end make up, thats why i love this Lippie.

It is very pigmented. It also has a vanilla scent which makes me wanna eat the product (haha). 
Purely matte lipsticks are my Go-to lippies.

NATURE REPUBLIC - Green Tea serum

This serum contains 100% organic vegetable green tea seed which is bean oil and Centella extract. This also moisturizes rough and dry skin. It also contains 67% green tea water , this is also good for sensitive skin because of the ingredients such as it is paraben-free and talc-free. 

Upon using this for a month , Ive noticed my skin looked very moisturized and it removed my dry patches, specially this season, its already fall here in south korea so my skin tends to dry out.  This serum really helped to renew my skin. 

I highly recommend this green tea serum. I love it. Very lightweight on the skin.

MISSHA M Magic Cushion Moisture

Today Im going to talk about the Magic Cushion Moisture by Missha, we all know that bb cushion/ cushion foundation/ cc cushion are very popular in asian countries nowadays. Its their version of a foundation in a compact. So i decided to try one of them. 

Missha has 2 kinds of magic cushion, matte and moisture. The one i got is the moisture and i picked the shade 23 which is natural beige. It has SPF50+ and PA+++. It claims to whiten your skin and lessen the appearance of wrinkles. 

It is very light weight, it doesnt feel cakey at all. It gives a VERY dewy finish that i need to put on powder after applying the product. It is also a light to medium coverage. I feel that this magic cushion makes your skin flawless.

KLEAN COLOR Everlasting Lipsticks

I have a big addiction on lipsticks, and yes Klean Color Everlasting lipsticks are on my top 5 favorites. The formula is quite perfect in my opinion because it has a creamy texture which glides easily on my lips (a good factor) . The color pay-off is good for its price (1.99 USD) , It is very pigmented. It stays on my lips for a long period of time. I must say it has a creamy matte finish. The berry shades are the bomb.. 

Here are some of my favorite shades from Klean Color's Everlasting Lipstick line.

INNISFREE - Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask

I'm using this product for 2 weeks already, i have to say its the best pore clay mask ive tried so far. It really minimized my pores and made my skin softer. Innisfree has 2 kinds of pore clay mask, the jeju volcanic mask and this super volcanic pore clay mask which i bought. 

Super volcanic pore clay mask claims to tighten pores, removes oil, exfoliates dead skin cells, offers deep cleansing, and enhances skin tone in which all of these things are true.. 

I would definitely recommend this product.

MY MAKE UP MUST-HAVES

Foundation
knowing your skin color is very hard to identify. For some reason my skin has warm undertone but most of the time i have cooler undertone. Find a foundation that will look like your own skin.

Concealer
Applying concealer is the best way to hide dark circles unless you are blessed to have bright under eye. Find an orange toned concealer to hide dark circles and pink toned one to brighten it up. 

Blush-
Find a blush that looks natural, you can use cream or powder blush depending on your preference , as long as it looks just a hint of a blush, its going to be fine. 

Eyelash curler- 
Not everybody considers this as an essential but it really makes a big difference when your eyelashes are curled, right?

Mascara-
And yes, when you curl your lashes, you must put a mascara (not a clumpy one). For a natural looking eyelashes, one coat of mascara is enough. But if you like more dramatic, just put few more coats, or better yet put falsies. 

Eyeliner-
Choose an eyeliner which glides smoothly, we dont want to irritate our sensitive waterlines right? 

Highlighter-
Who doesnt want to have a glowy skin? Nowadays, strobing (intense highlighting) is in, so find a highlighter which will not accentuate your pores and will definitely give a dew to your skin. 

Lipstick-
My thing.. My addiction.. My obsession.. Can i say more? <3 <3 <3 (RED...)

Eyeshadow-
Neutral shades of eyeshadow is the "bomb" you can never go wrong with neutrals.. 

Make up Brushes-
Invest on a good quality make up brushes. It will help you a lot with regards  to blending colors and applying liquid products. 

*Photos of the Products I use for my everyday make up look..

SKINFOOD - Black Sugar Mask

I found a new product that will remove my dead skin cells. Its the skin food's BLACK SUGAR MASK, its a wash off mask that will definitely renew your skin. It has vitamins , minerals and glycolic acid. Ive been using it for 2 weeks and i can already see results . It made my skin softer and less dry, especially this season, winter is coming and our skin tends to dry. We need to exfoliate. To achieve best results,you should apply a serum after rinsing your face . As for me, im using green tea serum. That is going to be featured on my next blog.

INNISFREE No sebum Mineral Primer

This primer has the dry , velvety silicone texture. This is very comparable to Benefit's porefessional primer. Almost the same texture and claim which blurs your pores amd fine lines. Ive been using this product for 2 months now and it does a good job on my skin, although i have invisible pores it really hides my fine lines especially underneath  my eyes.  I am highly recommending this primer , especially for oily skin for it will help you really mattify your skinand gives a flawless finish. But i think this is not really suitable for dry skin

MISSHA Painting Rouge

Missha released their own version of Liquid Lipsticks, They are called Painting Rouge. It has two versions, SYRUP and CHIFFON. 

This liquid lipsticks were launched JULY 2015, as ive tested and tried the lipsticks, ive noticed that SYRUP is more on glossy type whereas the CHIFFON is more on matte type. The color payoff is good. My personal preference would be the chiffon painting rouge because it has the staying power on my lips and i love matte finish with regards to lipsticks. I must say it is creamy matte finish. 

I highly recommend this liquid lipstick because this is close to the consistency of the etude ones although they are not the same. I personally love this.
