________________________________________________________________________


Hello. Today I'm going to review a product from Style Nanda's 3CE, which is the 'Triple Shadow' in More Brown. 



*sigh* I'm actually really sad right now, because as I went to write this blog post, THE PRODUCT JUST FELL ON THE FLOOR AND SCATTERED. YES THE PRODUCT THAT I'M GOING TO REVIEW RIGHT NOW. MY 3CE EYESHADOW!! MY NEW EYESHADOW SJDGSKJDBGSBTJCBGKXBFJBGVDSJFB - the accident just happened less than half an hour ago..

 If I could just turn back the time.... OK! Stopping all the negative feeling, let's get this thing done!!! 



I bought the product on Style Nanda store in Lotte Plaza in MyeongDong a while ago, and it retails for KRW 21.000. I thought by seeing the picture on the internet, that this eyeshadow trio is a baked eyeshadow. But seeing the product in real life, it turned out that it's a pressed eyeshadows. Impressed by the pigmentation and nice texture, I finally bought it! 

For you International readers, order them HERE



LEFT 3ce's single eyeshadow RIGHT the triple eyeshadow

The size of the eyeshadow trio is the same as their single eyeshadows. Very small but very compact and I think the 'More Brown' colors are very versatile for everyday look and travel friendly.

Nothing I can say more about the packaging because I LOVE all 3CE's packaging. They're black and they're simple!


All the eyeshadow trio contain 3 colors that compliment each other and are enough to make a complete eye look. In the 'More Brown' there are 3 colors :

1. Shimmery Light Peach (pink tone) --> highlight 
2. Sparkly Light Gold --> lid color
3. Shimmery Dark Brown --> point color

All 3 colors are shimmery and sparkly. I personally don't prefer sparkly and shimmery eyeshadow, but they aren't really chunky and so that's ok! 


As you can see from the swatches, the one without primer are less vivid and more sparkly than the one with primer. I used my fingers to swatch them, and I don't even need to press hard, the pigmentation is awesome! 

I used my brushes to apply it on my eyes and with / without primer didn't make a big difference. Applying the shadows with your fingers definitely makes the shadows come more vibrant.


The eyeshadows have a very great texture, very buttery and smooth, you didn't need much at all. Also, I found that they have very little fall out for shimmery eyeshadow. You also can see from the swatches on my eyes that the sparkles aren't really visible, so they're very good for everyday! 

my everyday look using the eyeshadow, I like them so much I used it for a week straight.

Overall, I think this product is worth the price! 3CE's products can be really expensive and I have some hits and misses with 3CE products, and I think this one is definitely a HIT

Just one thing to be careful that the product is very fragile. They're easy to break and once it break, I don't thing there is any way to save them... *CRIES* I drop the product from about 1m height and it broke miserably. 

But I don't think I will repurchase it in the future.. Or I will.. I don't know.. I was 멍ed for some time and I got myself out and wrote this review. Thank God I've used this product for the whole week and I can share what I thought to you guys. Oh God.... I'm so sad.. :"(

RIP 2014.01.05 - 2014.01.12. You'll be missed.

REVIEW : INNISFREE eco gel eyebrow


Hello! Today I'm bringing you a review about Innisfree's somewhat new eyebrow product, the Eco Gel Eyebrow in #1 Light Brown. Recently I put more attention to my brows, so I started to get interested in brow products. And I found that this eyebrow-gel type thing and I want to try it!

I purchased it in the Innisfree store and it retails for KRW 7.000



Following the trend of eyebrow gel, a lot of brands seems to come out with their own products and idea. Seeing a lot of other brand's product, I say Innisfree's eyebrow gel have a uniquer design. One point is a angled brow brush, and the other end is the gel itself.

Although it's unique, it also means that it has less products than other eyebrow gels that are packed like a gel eyeliner.


Honestly, I still can't find a very good point from this product. It's either a bad one or a so-so one. The pigmentation is light, I have to dip into the product often. It means that it takes longer time for me to do my brow. And also it sets pretty quickly so I have to work with smaller strokes.


Also because of the light pigmentation, I found it's harder for me to draw my brow's end. It's really hard to make a sharper end with the brush. I also found that because of the gel texture, it also slightly colored my brow hair into lighter color, but I still need the brow-cara to make it more lighter and even.

Below are pictures for the product water proof test :


The conclusion : It's not 100% water proof, but it doesn't budge until I purposely smudge it off.

And talking about the packaging, you can see below that it got scratched off even before I use it. I smell a strong cheapness!


Overall, this product is a miss for me. Innisfree have to work more for this product. Not only that the product itself is a flop, the brush is also not really good. This product is supposed to be one-stop-for-all brow product, but I think I need to bring another brush because the one provided is too wobbly. I need a stronger one!

Thankyou so much for reading, I hope it helps you guys for your future Korean beauty shopping! xx
