Bought this palette while ago from joancorner.com - I was going to use this for my makeup client, but turns out it's not what I expect to be.

Sure it was affordable, and there's a lot of shades that will match a lot of skin tones. But the first row, the lighter row is kinda patchy when applied, the bottom row is much better for the formulation. I was gonna use the bottom row for contour but it turns out that the shades are not as dark and quite reddish/yellowy too - not ideal for contour :(

The foundation/concealer wears out pretty quickly during the day. But then, I found out that this palette is good for quick touch up! Since I usually mix foundations for clients, sometimes I'm short on time to mix another foundation - so I use this palette :) 

The coverage power is not that good, maybe that's why it's good for touch up since it didn't cake up when layered. 

Thankyou so much for reading! Look forward for more post! :)

REVIEW : Too Cool For School "Artify After School Lunch Box BB Foundation"

Today I'm going to review this super cute BB Cream from "Too Cool For School" called "BB Foundation Lunch Box" XD

      BRAND

Artify After School Lunch Box BB Foundation

        type of product        

BB Cream/Foundation, Concealer and Cream Highlighter

       shade

      PRICE      

KRW 18.000

        sites

Too Cool For School is famous for the school themed brand concept, and this product is not an exception. You can see from the name itself "lunch box" and the design matches its name. It's a 3 in 1 product with BB cream/foundation, cream concealer, and cream highlighter - a one stop for all product. 

The top part opens up to the half-concealer and half-highlighter and it has a small mirror placed on the lid. The base part is filled with BB Cream/Foundation.

The product itself came in 3 shades, with first being the lightest and 3 and being the darkest. Mine is #2 which is the middle shade and it's a shade lighter than my skin tone. 

The BB Cream Foundation has a SPF of 37 PA++ and a slight grayish tone to it. It does brighten my face up, just like old-fashioned BB Creams but it does look unnatural especially under direct sunlight. The BB Foundation is not at all watery, it's more like mousse textured but it's still easily blendable and lightweight. The finish is very, very dewy - a very typical old fashioned BB Cream formulation. 

Since you have to scoop out the product out, please refrain to directly apply the BB Foundation with the applicator if you have troubled skin or you're using it with someone else. Or even if you're using the applicator, make sure you wipe it cleanly first then put it back again.

The cream concealer is rather thick and salmon colored, perfect for covering dark under eye area. This is something that I notice from cream concealer is that if I didn't set it properly it will 100% create smudge panda especially because I like to draw my eyeliner thickly. It's probably me though - anyway you have to set the concealer thoroughly to avoid 'panda eyes' incident.

(since the BB is so dewy already, almost the highlighter is almost unnoticeable when blended)

The cream highlighter have micro glitters and shimmers but it didn't look too much on the face. I'm not someone that use a lot of cream highlighter because of my oily face, unless I do need a little more glam - but I usually prefer powder highlighter more. Cream highlighter is definitely much more natural looking and blend more effortlessly. But since it's included in the 3 in 1 product, I got the chance to try a cream highlighter and you too to if you do purchase this.

As for the coverage, it's light to medium and it's buildable - though the more you build it, the lighter it gets so I usually stop at 1 layer. Oil control is not its best quality, nose starts to look shiny after only 1 hour of application, and at 4-5 hours elapsed the side of nose started to look red again. But other than that I feel this BB Foundation is super light weight. Kinda disagree with the name "BB Foundation" because it's definitely a BB Cream. 

The BB Foundation reminds me of Holika-holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB, but its texture is so mousse-y, and this BB Foundation is definitely not as mousse-y.

Overall, none of the formulation impresses me, it's all average, from the BB Foundation to the concealer and the highlighter. Of course the design and the actual 3 in 1 product is definitely a great appeal for some, the product itself didn't really impress me as much! 

Though I think it still great for those who just started digging in to makeup! Look at that adorable, all in one product, I think it'll be a great gift for teenagers that just started to build up their makeup kit :)

REVIEW : Aritaum All Day Tip Concealer

Yellow, Sugars!

Today I’m bringing you a review for Aritaum’s “All Day” Tip Concealer in the shade #2 Natural Beige.

Nothing too special about the packaging, no box, they just sealed the top part and that’s it. Make sure you check the seal, especially if you order this item online

The product itself only comes in 2 shade, #1 and #2 Natural Beige, an as per usual, I went to the second shade. This concealer definitely contain a lot of product which is very nice

I can smell a little bit of “Aritaum” st. scent to it, but it is not disturbing.

The consistency of the product is kinda watery? Not as creamy as I thought mainly because of the somewhat similar product previous to this, the “Full Cover” line is very creamy and thick.

This concealer has medium to high coverage, which is kinda strange since the product is somewhat watery so you wouldn’t expect for it to be as high in the coverage department.

The wateriness of this concealer also makes this problem ever so easy to blend and didn’t look too cakey. I saw that this concealer works better for my under eye than my blemishes, plus it stays longer on the under eye more than on my blemishes because of course there’s more oil on the “red” area.

This concealer is perfect for the under eye, it brightens up the area without looking too unnatural and blends very easily. I want to recommend this to people with drier skin – although I think people with oily skin also tend to have dry under eye area, so I’ll recommend this for everyone!

For me, I super love this product for touching up after work hours just because it’s very light weight and it just enough to freshen me up again.

Overall, I love this product! I’ve been eyeing for products from Aritaum’s All Day line, and surely they didn’t disappoint me!

Again, special thanks for ce Rini (rinicesillia.com) for bringing this product all the way from Korea to Indonesia – I do have the primer and foundation from the line, but I stupid, stupidly LOST THE FOUNDATION. The biggest one out of all, yet I still LOST it. It’s not like my room is that big or so do my house, probably misplaced it somewhere… 

And yes I’m that clumsy ㅠㅠ

Anyway, thankyou so much for tuning in, I’ll see you soon! MUACH! xx

Ever since I heard about this product shared by a bunch of Korean Youtubers, I went ahead and get me one! It's small and isn't pricey at all, so I guess it's not a bad purchase and here it is! 

Nothing. Special. It's small. It's a concealer :) No box tho

The product it's supeeeeer great. I'm not even kidding, I can see why beauty bloggers are raving about this tiny product. For a liquid concealer, it has a thick consistency, but it didn't clump or hard to blend at all,

For the coverage, it did a very great job. The shade for me it's a tad lighter than my skin tone, but for a concealer it's a perfect shade match for me! 

(sorry for the bald eyebrow)

For a 5.000 won concealer, this probably exceed everyone's expectations - I don't have any problems with it and it's the best 5.000 won I've ever spent! I think this is a rumor, but I heard, really I heard, that the CEO him/herself created this concealer. Gosh. No wonder it's sooo good! 

This concealer is just sooo good, that I don't even know what to write in the review. OOH, and it has SPF 28! Soooo any questions? If there's something I miss please comment below! :D 

GAAH I just love this concealer so much! :D

REVIEW : Moonshot's Perfection Dark Spot Concealer in Light Medium

Hey! It's been quite a while since my last post isn't it? :( Sorry! Been away for a while for a short trip to Japan last week and right now I really need to collect every power that I have to resume (and to unpack) to a more productive week! :))

Also! I read every bit of your lovely comments, it's just I have a very bad habit to not replying to comments (or chats - seriously my friends are so mad about this habit of mine.) IF you do have a very important questions for me, please do email me on mysugarcoffee@hotmail.com - I will get to you asap!

Now, the last product from my "Moonshot" saga is, the concealer! Moonshot Perfection Dark Spot Concealer in Light Medium 01!

Still, and again, super love the pixel symbol on the cap. The packaging is overall very sleek, just a square tube with a black, matte cap. Doesn't look and feel cheap at all! And, the cap actually clicks nicely when I closes it, making sure that the angles meet each other - OCD people you'll love it (looking at you, 3CE nail polishes - I hate the fact that I have to match your stupid angle every time!) 

The duffle applicator is actually not as hard - it's really flexible comparing to other concealer with similar applicator that I have. Which is actually really nice because it can maneuvre nicely between the side of my nose (I need concealer on that place the most.)

The concealer itself came in 3 shades, I chose the middle shade, so imagine there's one lighter and one darker shade of mine.

The concealer is not thick in consistency, almost watery I must say. But the coverage is awesome considering how watery it is!

Also, I don't need a lot of the concealer to cover up anything. I can use it for my under eye or for my acne / blemishes. But I do think this works better for blemishes.

One thing is it sets into a very matte finish, making it look kinda dry - or cakey even. This concealer is definitely can't be use alone (without bb cream / foundation / any other face base product) because it'll look weird, especially for the under eye.

Considering how 'dry' this concealer looks after it sets, I think this concealer will be better for people with normal to oily skin. It has a great coverage too, which I know a lot of oily people will need to cover redness / acne scars.

If you have a super dry under eye area, you might not want to use this concealer for your under eye.

Overall, looking how small the amount I need to cover anything, i think this concealer will stay with me for a long time. I know this concealer isn't Moonshot's best product, almost nobody in naver blog even reviewed / purchased / or show even any interest to this product. Nevertheless, I'm a concealer addict, I need to try this and I think this concealer is above satisfactory! 

Also, the shade matches my skin perfectly! It doesn't look too yellow / pink / or orange on my skin :) 

Thankyou for reading! I changed my post's layout a bit, what do you think? :)
