Review: {Etude House} Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-talk

Hey hey lovelies!

I'm back again with another review! Today's review is on a lipstick! To be honest I don't wear lipsticks much because I use to think that it makes my lips too big. Weird I know so I normally stick with lip glosses then later lip tints, but I still like this lip stick!

The shade I got was JPK003 Sweet Cotton Candy Munch. There are 8 colours from this line of lipsticks, Lychee, Strawberry, Orange, Mango, Lemon, Cotton Candy, Grapefruit and Plum. I chose this shade is because I thought it was a pretty colour when I was swatching it on my hand in the store.

Recipe for Jelly Lips.

  1. Clean lip area.
  2. Thoroughly apply moist and shimmery Dear My Jelly Lips-talk, starting from centre of lips.
  3. Sweet, juicy lips complete!

I find this really cute hehehe.

The top.

The actual product! I like how you can tell the colour by the cute little jelly bean like beads at the bottom.
I love the etude house logo on the lipstick itself! It's so pretty!!!

On lips!!

What Etude House says:

" This sheer colored lipstick gives you irresistible jelly lips with its moist, shimmery finish and the sweet jelly     scent. "


PROS:
- Nice colour.

- Moisturizing.

- Smells AHMAZING! Like jelly beans really! But if you don't like candies you won't like this scent.

- Nice packaging.

CONS:
- A little pricey.

OVERALL RATING: 4.5/5 minus 0.5 for the price heh.

REPURCHASE?: In different shade probably. If it's still available.

Review: {The Face Shop} Aura Color Control Cream

Hello lovelies! I'm back with a review on a cc cream! This is the first cc cream I own. I opted for the one from face shop because Dahye unnie on Youtube really love this product! You can find her channel here ^^.

So people say that CC creams are the new BB creams. It's like a skincare product that can be used as make up as well! Basically the concept is your skin but better kind of thing.

This particular cc cream comes in 2 shades. No.1 Bright Beige and No.2 Natural Beige.
The Shop assistant recommended Natural Beige so I got that one (:

Moving on to the review!

So this is the front of the box.

The back. All in hangul ._.

Directions, Ingredients and more. It says it's suppose to
-Creates Radiant & brighter skin tone
-Darkening-proof formula(12H long-lasting)
-Silver Vine Complex: skin brightening effect

 photo 20130529_231850_zps834b3464.jpg
When your done using it you can even get a refill! I guess you can save money that way hehe

The bottom of the box~

The top. It's really great that it has SPF30, PA++

So that was just the plain box and the actual product looks like this

 photo 20130529_232127_zpsf108be40.jpg
It's a little pinkish and is quite cute!

 photo 20130529_232142_zpsa81da667.jpg
The bottom! No.2 Natural Beige. You can push it out to put a new refill!

 photo 20130529_232154_zps65a070ae.jpg
This is how it looks like when you open up! The mirror is protected by a film and you can peel it off to be able to use the mirror. They also provide a puff for you to use.

 photo 20130529_232204_zpsf74b360d.jpg
There will be sticker on top of the product to ensure the product doesn't spill during shipping and packing. Remove the sticker and push the plastic at the bottom for the actual product to come out.

 photo 20130529_232315_zpsf5c7a510.jpg
When you remove the sticker it'll look like this.

 photo 20130529_232346_zpsbbc3cdef.jpg
You can see the product coming out from the tiny hole when you push the plastic button.

 photo 20130529_232431_zps441a4ba1.jpg
The product on my hand.

Blended! Actually there is a shadow there so it's not very accurate ><! But it does lighten the skin a little and gives a matte finish.

What The Face Shop Says:
"3-in-1 product!
Wrinkle Care + Whitening + Sun Block

* It gives brightening effect to the face!
* It's skin caring function enhances tone of skin!
* Makeup did in the morning lasts for 12 hours!
* Easy to use container at anywhere!
* Skin Care + Makeup! Easy Care! "

PROS
- Nice coverage

- Long lasting but not up to 12 hours. Maybe about 6-7 hours? Still pretty good!

- Buildable

- Does not enhance my dry spots!

- Has a little whitening effect that does not look fake.

- Nice scent.

- Has sun protection!

- Easy to carry around.

CONS
- A little bit pricey but it's worth it!!!

Overall rating: 5/5! It's a good product!

Repurchase?: Most likely, but I would love to try out other cc creams. Like maybe Banila co. or Tony Moly hehehe.


I might post a review of a mask tomorrow if i have time! Stay tuned!

Helloo lovelies!

This whole month I've been really stocking up from beauty products partly because both my brothers went to korea, which is so unfair since I wanted to go too! But back to the point is they went to korea and got me some skincare products! Also when I was Singapore I went on a little spree myself and picked up a couple stuff I wanted to try.
