REVIEW: Canmake Perfect Styling Eyes #4

Another Japanese product! This time, chosen by me :)

On a layover to Japan, I decided to go out of the terminal and visit some airport shops. Luckily, there was a cosmetic store!

They do sell Canmake in Korea, but I don't buy it because it's usually overpriced.

So what did I think?

REVIEW: BCL BROWLASH EX Eyebrow Pencil And Liquid

The name of the product isn't listed anywhere on the packaging in English...so I had to use Amazon to get the exact name.

My mom went on a trip to Japan and bought this for me. I've always thought that Japanese eyebrow pencils were the highest quality: natural looking, long wearing, weather-proof. But did this product make me think otherwise?

REVIEW: Tony Moly Pure Aura Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream

After posting my First Look awhile back, I'm finally here with the TonyMoly CC cream review!
First off, there's a lot of talk about CC cream vs BB cream. Now, I know that there's an official guide to the differences, but I thought I'd mention what I think the differences are:
1. CC cream adjusts to your skin tone! Most CC creams I've come across are white with small pigment capsules that break as you blend the cream into your skin. Although not 100% accurate, I like the way CC cream adjusts to my skin tone than having 1 shade of BB cream.
2. CC cream helps even out skin tone.
3. CC cream has more ingredients that is meant for skin care.

These are the two biggest difference I've noticed and they are ALL about skin tone...not coverage. So please keep this in mind!

So what do I think of Tonymoly CC cream?

REVIEW: Laneige Water Supreme Primer Base

Today I try out the Laneige Water Supreme Primer Base in green!

My skin can often be very red due to my acne medication, so I'm often on the lookout for green bases to help balance out my skin tone before applying foundation. Laneige is a popular beauty brand in Korea, so when I saw this on sale I jumped at the opportunity to test it out!
Was it worth it?

FIRST LOOK: Missha Signature Glam Art Triple Lips

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! It is MISSHA GLAM ART TRIPLE LIPS!

The YSL Glossy stains are SUPER popular in Korea! In fact, when I went to the department store to buy them, they were nearly sold out of EVERY color!
The power of K-dramas....

If you aren't familiar with the glossy stains, they are basically lip stains + lip gloss + lipstick all in one! You get the pigmentation of a lipstick, plus the glossy look of lip gloss and the long lasting power of lip stains! It is every girl's makeup dream.

I know L'Oreal has made a dupe to the popular YSL glossy stains and due to the MASS popularity in Korea, it was only a matter of time before a brand came out with their own dupe!

Well! MISSHA to the rescue!

Full review coming soon :)

Review: Etoinette Tear Eye Liner Set

I LOVE Etude House packaging. It's always so cute and girly. They recently came out with this more "princess-y" line of products and while the blush and highlighting powders were super popular, I wasn't sold on the formulas. So instead, I picked up the Etoinette eyeliner set.

 

These eyeliners came in a set of two. One is a dark eyeliner and another is a glittery white/nude eyeliner (recommended for waterline/inner corner). So what did I think of these eyeliners?

FIRST LOOK: Tony Moly Pure Aura CC Cream

CC Creams are becoming the new BB creams. If you haven't heard anything about CC cream, they are called CC cream because they are supposedly "color corrective"/"color control" creams. While BB creams are makeup product and are substitutes for foundation, CC creams are more of a skin care product. Think of it as BB cream, but lighter coverage and better for your skin.

There are a few CC creams available in the states (I know Olay makes a drugstore version) and Chanel has a very expensive (Asia only) CC cream too. Tony Moly is a affordable beauty brand and their CC cream had a lot of Korean women interested (including me!). I decided to buy a bottle and I wore it for the first time today.

Here's a sneak peek!

Stay tuned for a full review!
