Of course per product has different pigmentation and texture, in average they're great for its price! The mattes are a little bit chalkier than the shimmers. The pigmentations are great though! 

Now, I'll go in details for the shades : 

Starting off the lightest color in my palette, #68 air breathing is described in the "pressed satin-pearl" type and it's a light champagne beige shade and it's a great shade for inner corner to make that aegyo-sal eye look! I prefer these kinda shades more than white/gold because it's more neutral and doesn't look too "highlighting"

#77 Love mode is a pressed matte type and it's actually a light taupe shade with pinky shade, it definitely look too light in the picture, but you'll see later in the swatch its true pigmentation. 

#69 Magenta is nowhere close to magenta - it's a warm camel shade and it's also a pressed matte type. Both #77 Love Mode and #69 Magenta is a great crease shade and for blending the shades together. 

#64 Maxi is categorized in the pressed-satin pearl type - it's a warm dark chocolate shade with bronze glitters on. 

#65 Single Malt is probably my favorite shade out of all 6 shades. It's has a satin finish and it's grouped as pressed satin pearl finish. It's a cool taupe shade and it looks absolutely gorgeous allover the lid. 

#90 Smoke is a pressed matte finish and it's a dark chocolate shade, and the pigmentation isn't the best out of all. But it still works as a shade to deepen the look. 

Overall in my opinion the shimmers perform better than the mattes, just like most Korean brand's eyeshadows in general. 

Aritaum made a few selection of eyeshadow cases to fit these mono eyes eyeshadow singles, and I pick the 6 pots as it was the biggest. It's very simple, just a black case - and it' gives room for you creative souls to decorate your own, as I did to mine! :)

EXO-MON! :D or POKE-EXO! 

It's great for you who want to customize your own palette and your own shades too! The price is really affordable too and the color selection is broad. I'm pretty much satisfied with my shade selection for this palette (and those cute pokemons!!) 

I've brought this palette for travelling a lot since it has all the shades I need. People starting up with eyeshadows would probably best to ask your friend to pick up the shades you'll need for your daily look. 

Overall, I've been loving this cute set I build up - after all it took a while to actually decide to build this little palette. A lot of Koreans raved about this product, I think the price can't go wrong actually. Some people have problem with fallouts, but I don't think it has that much of fallouts. 

It's just the shimmers / satin shades are better than the matte, but I do need a matte shade to blend my eyeshadow so I need one. 

One thing is, even though the palettes has a little hole to pick the shadow pots, but it doesn't exist on the single pots - so depoting these = took years. 

Thankyou for reading this post! Comment down below for questions! :) Have a great day! :D

REVIEW : Aritaum's Shine Fix Eyes

Nothing special from the packaging, just a simple (and bulky) pots. Though one of my Korean friend successfully depoted these shadows to a eyeshadow palette, I don't have a palette that can contain these so I'm stuck with these bulky pots :(

Inside, there's a black something that use to press down the product so that it keep it place secure on the pots. 

Look how bling-bling those eyeshadows are O_O Though the appearance is similar to L'oreal infallible eyeshadow (?) I can't compare those because I never tried L'oreal one, but they sure look similar. The texture is like cream, but not exactly creamy too, but anyway if you pressed it down it will leave a dent over the product. 

It's more like glitters filled eyeshadow, rather than pure glitters, because they still have a shade color (?), like it's not only glitters but there's also some cream eyeshadow that goes with it. 

#3 is the lightest out of the other 4 shades I got, it's a champagne beige shade. 

#10 is a neutral golden shade - perfect for lid color 

#18 is my least favorite shade from the bunch, it's a cool tone pink color. It's a new addition for their F/W collection. 

#20 is a dark reddish brown shade, loving this one too <3

With these shadows, I think you can achieve a super bling-bling effect like when using a loose glitter  makeup, which can be a big mess most of the time. The biggest problem when using glitters might be the fallouts, and these have so much less fallouts (almost none). 

I thought this product will make my eyes look like disco ball, but in reality it's less intense than that and it looks more like shimmers than chunky glitter on the eyes. 

super bling bling! 

LEFT using #3 in the inner corner RIGHT using #10 and #20 in the lid

Sadly the swatches on my eyes aren't showing the glitter effect as much :(

Overall, I'm loving these products more than I thought I will be. Especially because they're not as extremely glittery as I thought it would like. It's more like I can give a small accent point on my eyes, like for putting some on my inner corner, or a tap on the middle of my eye lid.

When using these eyeshadow for my lids, I like to wet my brush with eyedrops first so that it apply more pigmented. Nevertheless the shade shows up ok (I don't use eyedrops / eye primer for my swatches)

For you Korean style makeup lovers, I think this is a must have product! It's a big item too among Korean beauty bloggers (or among people in general - one of Aritaum's best selling item!). As for recently, I'm really enjoying shimmer look on my eyes so I think I've used these babies more than I should ^^;;;

REVIEW : Aritaum's "Full Cover" Liquid Concealer 02 Natural Beige

yellow!

Today's review is going to be about Aritaum's Full Cover Liquid Concealer in 02 Natural Beige! I got this quite a while ago and been experimenting with it. I ended up purchasing this because I've saw some Korean youtubers that raved about this, enough to make me buy one obviously.

      BRAND      

Aritaum

      PRODUCT NAME      
"Full Cover" Liquid Concealer

      type of product      

Liquid Concealer

        shade        
02 natural beige

      PRICE      

25 ml / KRW 7.000

      sites      
Aritaum official site

Available in 2 shades, 01 light beige and 02 natural beige, this concealer is part of Aritaum's new "Full Cover" line that as the name states, promotes full coverage makeup and flawless complexion. 

Comes in a tube, it's very hygienic and compact to use, and I swear this might be the largest concealer I have in my collection. A little bit goes a loooong way, and it makes me wonder how long will this big tube last on me. I only need a little blop of these to cover everything I need.

02 Natural Beige color is the shade you'll get mixing 2 shades from 'Full Cover' Duo Cream Concealer (Review HERE). The liquid concealer goes on more smoothly than the cream, and best applied with fingers - though I still use my brush just because. But using your fingers will really helps to melt the product and help it to blend better. 

The coverage is indeed very high and you don't need much really. But on the down side, it could look cakey and heavy on the skin. Especially combined with face products that are more sheer, it could look obvious and patchy on the face. 

I'm not really pleased with the size because it's almost as big as regular foundation / bb cream (with 25 ml, it's only 5 ml away from regular sized foundations), but on the other side with its price it's a very good deal!  

High coverage

Affordable price

Easy to blend

Not sticky

No scent

Tend to look cakey

Thick, somewhat heavy

Overall, I pretty much prefer this much more than the duo cream concealer. I still yet to try the BB creams that a lot of people are raving about, the picture is kinda giving it away, but the next from the Aritaum's product that I'll review is the "All Day" Makeup Fixer!

Generally I think the "Full Cover" line from Aritaum is not only is affordable, but it works pretty well too! I suggest you guys to give this line a try if you can get you hands on these :)

REVIEW : Aritaum's Honey Melting Tint (in #14 Pink Lemonade and #16 Lady Dessert)

Hi! 

Finally,
I got my hands on these!! It's Aritaum's "Honey Melting Tint". I'm always tricked by the packaging, I thought they were just an ordinary colored lip balm and never bothered to even checked them out. Then my junior was raving about these and also I'm much more convinced after reading Rini's review HERE.

Now they're releasing 6 new shades for the summer, "Summer Neon Limited Color"

      BRAND

First, the packaging. They didn't came in boxes, but do they have secure seals so make sure it still intact when purchasing! It is easy mistake as a lip balm (like I do) but they're actually legit lip tints! The outside cap is resembling the shade inside, which quite accurate I say. 

You'll see in the pictures below that the inside black tube goes up more than the product itself (does that make sense?) to secure the product from melting and breaking down because it's so creamy - think about Revlon Lip Butter - both has similar tube system that I think is perfect for lip products with creamier textures! 

Including the regular shades, they have 16 shades (10 + 6). The summer shades are more neon and it focuses on pink and orange shades. 

Both have this sweet, fruity scent but also mixed with a "cosmetic" kinda scent, I felt that's kinda weird, but the scent didn't linger so I just moved on from that. 

I was planning to just get the summer neon one and a regular one but my friend again, said that summer is coming, so I should probably pick up bright colors instead. So, I listened to her and I fell in love with both of the shades! 

Especially with "Lady Dessert" - I was afraid that it will came too orangey but it didn't, and "Pink Lemonade" is definitely not as neon as I expected to be. 

Both stained my lips even after all the glossiness has gone, but "Pink Lemonade" has more vivid stain left. 

These products have creamy texture - not as smooth as a legit lip balm, but it's definitely comparable! They are not sticky, very comfortable on the lips. They sure have better lasting power than similar products on the market -  they still transfers to straws, or when I kiss my palm to test it - but not as visible as other creamy lipsticks I have.

Both has glossy finish, I do think some advertorial pictures from aritaum.com are a little bit exaggerated. Like the vividness of the shade or even the glossiness. You know the drill - ad always lie. lol

You can see above that 2 shades that I own didn't have the same pigmentation. "Pink Lemonade" definitely came off more bright and is pigmented enough with only 1 swipe. "Lady Dessert" has to be more layered to make it as vivid as "Pink Lemonade"

I can still see my real lip color see through the product - which is nice because it will slightly toned down the whole neon thingy. Because the lip tint surface is kinda huge - I still have to be in front of a mirror when applying or re-apply during the day. I can be a little bit messy with "Lady Dessert" - but I didn't want to take the change with "Pink Lemonade"

Sleek packaging

Creamy texture

Light weight

A ton of shades

Lips staining

Moisturizing

Huge product surface could be a problem

for people with thin lips

(or just clumsy like me)

Overall, this is 10 out of 10 - I love these stuff! This is like a perfect combination of lip tint + lip stick + lip balm. I know there's more colors available and I really want to try it all! Again, this product is again a result of someone's good review, but this is totally over my expectation.

I find these are pretty much similar with Revlon's lip butter, but I believe these stay (much) longer and stains my lips better - and both are moisturizing! And I found that some Lip Butter's has shimmers but these melting tints have none - they just glossy and I completely prefer this Melting Tint over the Lip Butters.

Thankyou so much for reading guys!
Have a nice day! xx
