Yellow Blush Review
안녕하세요
♥
Hello everyone! I have an interesting post today, I tried out yellow blush! I was perusing through the new arrival section of a new website I discovered missbeautykorea.com and I saw a blush color I had never seen before. Before I knew it I had to have it in my cart. Upon receiving it I realized I had to actually wear it and hope it didn’t look like I had jaundice.

Innisfree My Foundation + Brush Review
Innisfree My Foundation + Brush Review
안녕하세요 ♥ Hello everyone! I have an interesting foundation review today from Innisfree. I have tried a foundation from them before that I really enjoyed in the smart drawing line so I hopped on the chance to make my own customizable foundation. You are able to choose from 5 colors, 5 coverage levels, and 3 moisture levels. There are also new brushes that came out with the line, a cover and a glow…

Happy Tuesday everyone! It has been a long time since I posted last and I hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season. I had heard a bit of buzz about Physicians Formula coming out with some new products. They are a drugstore brand that always interests me with some of their gimicky products (remember mood boosting love blush anyone?) and saw that they FINALLY put out a foundation product with more than two similar shades. I purchased this product directly from their site. They were having a promo where if you and a friend exchanged emails you would get 50% off your purchase so I recruited my boyfriend to score the deal. But they do carry Physicians Formula at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart where they normally are on some sort of promotional deal.
♥
This foundation retails for $14.95 for 1FL OZ/ 30 ml of product and comes in a nice and heavy glass bottle with a LARGE doe foot applicator. It comes in 16 shades and has an SPF of 20. I had a fun time trying to judge my shade from pictures online and I went with MN3 with I feel is still a bit too warm for me during the winter months, but I can correct it with a lighter powder. This foundation claims to “A long-wearing, buildable, and breathable foundation that provides lightweight, medium coverage with a healthy, satin finish. It says it is Hypoallergenic, Fragrance-Free, Paraben-Free, Gluten Free, Dermatologist Approved, Non-Comedogenic, Clinically Tested, Cruelty Free, and Vegan. Compatible with all skin types and featuring our exclusive Brightening Complex and Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate, brighten and improve the appearance of skin tone. Added boost of Vitamins A, C & E provides a flawless, healthy coverage.” It’s star ingredients: Brightening Complex (Chinese Wu-Zhu-Yu Extract), Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Salts), Vitamin A, C& E Antioxidant Blend, Protective SPF 20. WHEW!
♥
Upon opening the foundation it does have a scent of like a brown sugarry smell. It doesn’t bother me but there is something there, The doe foot applicator holds quite a bit of product and I am able to cover my face in one dip into the bottle. This formula provides a light coverage that evens out my skin tone but doesn’t have much coverage. Even with a second layer I can only get it to maybe a light medium.
(Left is one layer blended, right is two layers blended)
This foundation also doesn’t do much to disguise my pores. It provides a more dewy finish and provides the moisture my skin needs during the bitter winter days. It melts into my skin and feels so light I forget I’m wearing any foundation and didn’t emphasize my skin’s texture even after a full day of wear. It does last for a full 5 hours (with powdering) before it starts to cake up in my smile lines and the oils in my face start to eat away at it. I have been on a medication that has changed my skin from super oily acne prone to combination and acne prone. I do have to blot at least once when I wear this foundation towards the end of my day. But during the five hours of wear my skin looks plump and healthy like the name suggests. This foundation reminds me more of a tinted moisturizer than a foundation.

♥
Final Thoughts: 3.5/5 This foundation make my skin look plump and fresh as a daisy but it doesn’t last as long as some of my other foundations or provide much coverage. It is really a your skin but better formula. I like this for my more natural days or days I’m having good skin days. It also played well with my skin and didn’t clog any pores or clog break outs.

Peripera Inklasting Lavender Cushion Review-Pearly Nights Edition
안녕 Hello! How is everyone doing today? I have tried a few Clio and Peripera cushions in the past and while Clio cushions never seem to mix well with my skin Peripera ones tend to work out for me. During the summer Peripera released a moving cushion design that was so adorable with their two of their color formulas (green and pink) and spoiler alert I enjoyed the green cushion. So I was happy to…

Hello everyone! This is part 2 in my holiday collection series. You can read part one here. In this post I will be focusing on the fun and interesting Be My Universe collection from Etude House. Another collection I was very excited to get in the mail. I purchased everything from beauty box korea. I am fascinated with space and the motif was just screaming my name. This collection featured a little bit of everything including new lipstick colors, cosmetic bag, a fragrance, two palettes, a brush set, eye pigments, and redone mascara packaging to fit the collection.
♥
Dear My Matte & Glass Tinting Lips Talk in PP502 Aura Purple $7.20 3g
Case is #29 $3.60: There are 5 lip colors in the collection and three are made just for the collection. And there 5 new cases introduced for the line as well. I was drawn to this color because it is a purple tone and unusual to see from Korean brands. In the tube this lipstick is a purple duo chrome with a green shift. Sounds intimidating I know! When it is swatched it is a sheer deep purple with a lot of purple and blue glitter. The color can be built up to a more metallic purple lip. The formula smells and tastes softly like fruit candy. It is creamy when you apply it on the lips and does dry down and feels comfortable to wear, but the glitter does transfer everywhere. If you do not like a ton of glitter in your life you should steer clear of this lipstick. The color does leave behind a light berry stain. The wear time isn’t the best of the lipstick and I have to reapply quite often through out the night. You can also use this lipstick as a lip topper to deepen any shade and add some glitter.
♥
Colorful Scent Eau De Perfume White Floral Mush 50ml + 7ml $20.71: This perfume set comes with a giant bottle of perfume and a rollerball to carry with you anywhere. The design of the packaging for each is adorable. The purple color is echoed in packaging for other items in the line as well as the stars on the roller ball. They both look very classy and expensive. The scent is a white floral mush with a top note of neroli and orange a heart of rose, muget, jasmine, and violet and a base of musk, cedarwood, and scandalwood. This is a very powerful scent where a tiny little bit goes a long way. The scent sadly reminds me of my grandma’s house. The cedarwood and scandalwood are very overpowering and you can’t really smell any of the other notes.
♥
Universe Multi Palette 1gx6 / 1.8gx1 in Golden Galaxy $17.10: There are two versions of this palette Pinky Galaxy (with a pink blush ) and Golden Galaxy (with a golden highlighter) I went against the gran and went with the golden version I also liked the front graphic much more. The graphic is printed on the palette and is absolutely mesmerizing. The palette consists of 2 mattes, 1 metallic/ shimmer shade, 3 glitter shades, and 1 highlighter. Some of the shades do have a hard time showing up on my NC25-NC30 skin tone and with a primer the shades to fade quite a bit throughout the day. I like how soft and creamy the shades are and how well they blended together on the eye to make a sexy soft smokey eye. The highlighter shade (pressed with the shape of Saturn) is a soft champagne color that comes off more shimmery than glittery and is great is you want a subtle glow over a blinding highlight and is great for every day use. I do have to say the colors in this palette are a bit boring for the theme and I feel quite limited with what I can do with them and the pink glitter shade feels out of place.
♥
Final Thoughts: 2.5/5 The collection looks so fun and captivating with glitter and holographics , stars and Saturn motifs. The lipstick is a unique color that can be used alone or as a lipstick topper but the effects on it are not long lasting. The perfume looks beautiful on my vanity but the scent just isn’t for me. The palette is beautiful and you can achieve a soft smokey eye and a nice everyday highlighter, but the intensity fades even with a primer and the colors feel a bit boring and I have a hard time getting some of them to show up on my skin. This collection is eye candy but I am so sad to say the performance I have encountered was meh.

Hello everyone! I have have been battling acne for most of my life and I have to be careful about what I put on my skin. It has been a seemingly uphill battle. I have tried numerous cleansers and creams and I have noticed skincare for acne can be incredibly harsh on my skin and leave my face feeling uncomfortably tight, a lot of times leading to further irritation and more acne flare ups. I had gotten a few sample packets of the TONY MOLY AC Acne Control Foam Cleanser. I was intrigued so I purchased the full size version of the bubble foam version. I got it here from Jolse for $8.46 for 150ml of product.
♥
The product claims “Specially great for oily or sensitive skin, this water based cleanser will instantly turn into soft bubble foam with a single pump to gently but effectively cleanse skin removing surface oils, dirt and make up.” And boasts star ingredients of Aloe Vera (soothing), Golden pine bark extract (antioxidant, anti inflammatory), and Sage (Soothes, reduce redness and purifies skin). A nice fluffy dollop of foam is dispensed that has a light but sweet smell to it. The formula takes off most of my makeup it does leave behind a bit of my foundation and my stubborn waterproof mascaras. The formula washes off the face very easily. After cleansing my face feels cleans but it still feels soft and moisturized but most importantly smooth. I liked that the cleanser didn’t make my skin feel greasy after use or leave behind any residue. I don’t feel any sort of burning or tight “squeaky clean” sensation during or after use of the product. It doesn’t do much for my blackheads but it fights my current breakouts and keeps the new breakouts at bay. Even during that terrible time of the month my face has been relatively pimple free.
♥
Ingredients: Sodium Lauryl Phosphate Water Glycerin Cocamidopropyl Betaine Hyaluronic Acid(1%)& Water(98.65%)& Methylparaben(0.2%)& Propylparaben(0.15%)” Dipropylene Glycol Dimethyl Sulfone Citric Acid Potassium Hydroxide “Portulaca Oleracea Extract(1%)& Butylene Glycol(20%)& Water(79%)” PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil “Sciadopitys Verticillata Root Extract(0.5%)& Butylene Glycol(20%)& Water(79.5%)” Fragrance(Parfum) Trisodium EDTA Methylchloroisothiazolinone Methylisothiazolinone
♥
Final Thoughts: 4/5 I really enjoy this cleanser it has helped improve the severity and number of breakouts I experience even during that time of the month when my skin goes to all hell. It is budget friendly and you get quite a bit of product. I knocked off a point because it doesn’t completely remove my makeup.

Happy Sunday! I have been waiting patiently by my mailbox for this collab with The Face Shop. Not only is it Ryan but it’s super cute hoodie Ryan from Kakao Friends. For those who are not familiar Kakao Friends are adorable characters from the messaging app KakaoTalk that have taken on a life of their own. I love the detail that went into the line and I hope they would make an extension with their other characters (Neo!!). This line was pretty extensive with color corrector bars, lip products, a cushion case, and some skincare items just to name a few. I picked up the palette and one of the lip tints. I purchased everything from testerkorea.
♥
This palette…
is so…
CUTE!
Hoodie Ryan Mono Pop Eyes Palette #02: This palette was $17.73 and you get 9.5g of product and comes in two variations. I chose the warmer choice because of more unusual yellowy shade. The palette is made of a sturdy plastic with Ryan’s face molded into the front. The size is compact and would be great for travel or touch ups. Everything about this palette just makes me say AWE from the packaging to the protective plastic inside. You get 8 shades comprised of 3 shimmer/ metallic shades and 5 matte shades, the shades give a bit of kick up from the brush but don’t give any fall out during application. I use these with an eyeshadow primer otherwise they will disappear of my eyes rather quickly. The pigmentation is nice on these shadows, they feel velvety, and blend on the eye really well. There is enough variety in the palette to do an every day eye or something more dramatic, the colors build very easily.

I noticed some similarities in my collection.
Etude House Skull , The Face Shop Marvel, The Face Shop Hoodie Ryan
♥
Hoodie Ryan Volume Up Tint in #08 Sentimental Ryan: This tint is $7.98 for 3.5g of product. There are 4 shades and I grabbed this one because it was a unique color I don’t see as often. It is a burnt orange/ rust color that is very shiny. The claims on this product are: “It is a tint that produces a moist feeling and a clear color. It is a formulation that combines the shine of lip gloss and the color of tint. Moisturisers are kept dry without lips. Super Moisture Oil Complex Contains: Brazil Nut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil.” The formula is thicker than a tint it feels more like a liquid lipstick in consistency it also has a sunscreen scent to it. It also doesn’t really leave a stain like most lip tints do. The formula is very moisturizing to wear and on the lips sheers out to an interesting nude lip. The wear time is pretty average on this lip product.
♥
Final Thoughts: 4/5 I think the palette is a great addition to your collection if you are looking for something that has a bit of both safe everyday colors and fun dramatic colors. They wear well with a primer and are very easy to work with. And how can you pass up that packaging? 3/5 The lip tint is like a moisturizing liquid lip instead of a tint. It is pretty average in performance but the color is interesting.

Hello everyone! I hope the three day weekend was relaxing and I am very excited that we’re in September. I was cruising through testerkorea’s website and I found this interesting looking mask from Dr. Jart. I have in the past tried some items from the brand through my beauty subscription boxes and I’ve had hits and misses with the brand. I purchased this mask from here for $6.74 and you get 50g of product.
♥
The packaging takes the name very literally with the top a 3-D version of the face that is on their other sheet type masks. Included inside is a spatula and two packets that you mix together in the cup by shaking them.
This mask comes in four versions (Hydro, Soothing, Luminous, and Elastic) I have the soothing version and this mask claims to “remove dead skin cells and improve overall skin clarity and radiance before your skin routine.” And “sooth and help repair sensitive skin.” My skin can always go for some soothing and radiance. I opened up both the packets and poured them in. I only had to shake my concoction 3 times before it solidified into a light mint gelatinous goo.
The mask has a light aloe scent that is very refreshing. I slathered this all over my skin and waited for it to harden. It was so hard to get it close to even on my skin. I had to wait with my head tiled back because the mask kept dripping off my chin. I ended up leaving this on my face for about 25 mins the mask still felt moist and delicate when I pulled it off unlike other modeling masks I’ve used in the past. After removal my skin felt just kinda wet. It was a tiny bit softer but there are better products out there for less.
♥
Final Thoughts: 2.5/5 This product was pretty meh. There are other masks that preform better for a cheaper price tag. This is a pass.
