Beauty People Royal Tint Honey Balm Azalea & Daisy

(L) Azalea: A deep pink (R) Daisy: a light coral

My lifeless dry lips need a little color and moisture~ Super excited to try out some tint balms! I picked Beauty People’s Royal Tint Honey Balm due to ingredients of pure honey, shea butter, and royal jelly. Hopefully it lives up to be as moisturizing as it claims. I’ve tried other lip products in the past but so many of them make my lips more dry. Lets go~ 

I really like the box colors *A*

A little odd that the text on the case aren’t aligned in the same position o.o but no biggie~

Details: - 2.5g - Comes in 4 colors, Calendula Orange, Daisy Coral, Camellia Cherry Red, Azalea Deep Pink - Infused with pure honey, shea butter, and royal jelly  - Royal honey blam to give dry lips moisture care. - Natural tint gives long lasting soft color.

3 strokes. Taken in natural lighting. The color is so vivid for a tint balm! 

The colors are very accurate to the advertised photos! Both tint balms are build-able and the color is very vivid even with one stroke! I was really surprised at how pigmented they were! These tint balms do live up to being moisturizing. Upon application, my lips felt very moisturized and it lasted throughout the whole day. After eating or drinking, the color does fade a little bit. I’m really happy with the balms <3 

The balm claims to be non sticky but they are a little bit sticky. The stickyness does go away though so not a big deal. 

I really wanted to give this balm a wonderful review but there was 1 thing about these tint balm that is disappointing. The case... The case is made of cheap plastic and it breaks easily. Upon twisting the tint balm up, it got stuck T_T It wouldn’t twist down... I have to use my finger to push it back down every time. If this problem happened to only 1 of the tint balms then I would just assume I was unlucky and got a defective product, however I purchased 3 of these (2 in daisy, 1 in azalea) and all 3 had the same problem T_T Really disappointed in the quality of the case, especially for the price.

These tint balms cost $10 each on Memebox but I got them on sale for $5. Other stores sell them for $5-$8.  I wouldn’t purchase these tints at full price :/ The tints are great but I’m really disappointed in the case/shell. 

Overall: Azalea: ★★★☆☆ 3.5/5 Daisy: ★★★☆☆ 3.5/5

Etude House Play Nail #2 #77 & Play Nail Sticker #2

Etude House Play Nail is my favorite nail polish brand! I love the range of colors Etude House offers and the formula is wonderful. While purchasing 2 new nail polish colors, I decided to get the play nail sticker  in #2 as well~ I really hope the sticker works well since there are so many cute nail designs that I want to try with it.

Top of the nail polish is Etude House logo~

I love love Etude House’s nail polishes. The formula is easy to use, not streaky and lasts long (1 week with 0 chips). I feel like the polish evens itself out so it’s perfect for beginners or anyone who’s prone to mistakes~ The color is also very accurate to the advertised photos. 

Back of Etude House Play Nail Sticker #2.  The play nail stickers very cute and easy to use! CAUTION: Make sure to cut the stickers slightly shorter than your nail otherwise the ends will get caught on things and peel off. Unfortunately I made the mistake to cut the sticker the exact size of my nail & slightly longer. As a result it did not stay on for a very long time. Even with a top coat it lasted about 1 day. The ends started to get peel off pretty quickly.

I did give the stickers another shot. This time I made sure to cut the stickers so that it was shorter than my nail and... it lasted longer! The ends did not start to peel until day 4~

See the nail polish in action~ 

Single coat with #77.

2 coats with #77.

Added the stickers.

One coat of #2 and finish! :D

I really love nail style. Definitely going to be doing it more often especially since it’s so easy. Next time I’m going to put the nail sticker across the bottom of my nails instead of top.

Overall rating: Play Nail Color #2 ★★★★★ Play Nail Color #77 ★★★★★ Play Nail Sticker #2 ★★★★☆ The Play Nail Sticker #2 can be purchase on Etude House’s website. Unfortunately Play Nail Color #2 & #77 are out of stock on Etude House’s website, however, they can still be purchased on sites like eBay. :)

MEMEBOX I’m EyeShadow Palette #SP02 Night to Day

I recently purchased Memebox’s I’m Eyeshawdow Palette #SP02 Night to Day and I must say, I am quite impressed! This is a great palette for beginners as the colors are build-able, fairly pigmented, and blend easily~ 

Animal testing free! :D 

Palette comes with a clear plastic that has the name of each color.

One Night & Glam Night are so pretty!<3 

Details: - 6.9cm x 12.8 cm - 10 colors, 1 g each - 3 matte, 7 shimmers - opens 180 degrees; lays flat 

Colors: ( L-R) - Every Night (matte cream)  - Date Night (matte rosy pink)  - One Night (raspberry pink with gold microglitters) - Glam Night (copper shimmer) - Woman Night (matte cool brown) - Hug Me Night (pink champagne shimmer with white microglitters) - Sensual Night (garnet shimmer with gold microglitters) - Tonight (eggplant purple with silver and purple microglitters) - Mature Night (taupe shimmer) - Dark Night (deep brown shimmer)

Photos taken in natural lighting without primer. 1 stroke swatch using provided brush.  

These eyeshadows are build-able; with a few additional strokes it does get closer to the advertised photo~ The brush that comes with the palette is not the best. Upon using it for the first time, some of the hairs on the brush started to bend and fall out :/ 

Palette costs about $27 (before shipping). A little pricey. Is it worth it? For me, yes since fits my needs perfectly. It’s build-able and I love all the colors.

< Start >

There are so many things I want to do, so many places I want to go. It’s time to stop making excuses and take the first steps toward where I want to be. It’s time to stop fearing failure. It’s time to find the confidence to pursue what I want to do. It may be impossible to change overnight but a single step toward change is better than standing in one place.
