REVIEW : "ETUDE HOUSE" Color Pop MINI Tints


Yellow!!
It's been sometime since I last reviewed a Etude House product, am I right? Today I'll share my review about a lip tint from Etude House's Lip Tint Collection : The "COLOR POP" Collection.

Kinda sure they came out for their 2013 SS collection, definitely correct me if I'm wrong! But I want to share thatttt............

They also come in MINI SIZE wuuuuuuut???


      BRAND      
etude house

      PRODUCT NAME      
"Color Pop" Shiny Tint

      type of product      
lip tint (mini size)

       color       
P#10 Nudy Pop & P#12 Burgundy Pop

      PRICE      
krw 2.500 each 

      site info     
etude official site (korean)

So here's a real comparison between the tint and my hand. Honestly I ordered them online and it was smaller than my expectation! 


The 'mini' size is as I stated before, retails for KRW 2.500 and the full size is KRW 8.500. The full size one contain 7g of product, and the mini one does not stated anywhere. But I can say that its really, really small, Nella told me in the comment section that the mini size contain 2g of product, thankyou! <3


Even though it's so small, but I believe that the applicator is still the same as the full sized one. I picked up two colors, one more to a neutral side and the other is a burgundy color! This items are used to be a "internet shopping" only product, but yesterday Etude House already displayed them in the regular store, so I expect that it'll reach your EH / Online shopping too!

SWATCH : [LEFT] P#12 Burgundy Pop [RIGHT] P#10 Nudy Pop

The pigmentation of P#12 Burgundy Pop is definitely disappointing, as you can see from my screenshot above, the burgundy was promoted to be dark and vampy - which is not at all. I tried to make a gradation lips look using the 'Burgundy Pop' one and failed badly because it's not pigmented enough :(

This lip tint is promoted to be "Beyond Lipstick, Beyond LipTint, Beyond LipGloss" - I can't agree on the first 'beyond' but I can agree to the third one! The glossiness is definitely lasts quite long, and it doesn't felt sticky like a gloss. Also, I'm not sure this has any relation with the glossiness, but this lip tint didn't dry my lips! Means it also didn't accentuate my lips line - especially in this super cold months, this really is helping my chapped lips.

I think it's a really smart move for EH to make these lip tints for a few reasons : 
  1. One, they make a pretty cute little gifts. 
  2. Two, they give you chance to try colors without buying the full size one. 
  3. Three, you don't have to 'waste' money on shades you don't use everyday, say, the oranges hue or the dark ones (which isn't dark, at all). 
  4. Four, perfect travel size tints! (unless you're a scatter brain like me, be prepare to lose one or two. sigh) 
With these little fellas, EH can actually predicts what shades are in trend - because of course, the more popular shade will definitely selling out faster than the less popular one. I can see EH is actually testing out the shade, because out of 12 only 9 is available in full size. Sadly none of the shades that I purchased here is available in the full size :(

 P#10 Nudy Pop

P#12 Burgundy Pop

Overall? Loving the Nude, Disappointed with the Burgundy. Full Size purchase? Maybe, after I clear out 3 shelves of lip products! 

Btw, notice I linked a "ELEVENIA" page on the links above? Elevenia is a Indonesian based website that filled with everything that you could ever buy in the Internet, that includes MAKEUP! They have a huge (did I say huge? I meant HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE) korean brand cosmetic collection with awesome prices! The website reminds me of Gmarket, but the best part is it's Indonesia based (it also delivers worldwide tho!) I know a lot of my readers might have difficulties to get products I mentioned in my blog, sooo definitely check out the website!

REVIEW : Clio "KILL BLACK" Waterproof Brush Liner

Hello! Today I'm going to review an eyeliner that is a favorite of a lot of people and I definitely a late customer for this. As an eyeliner daily user, this item sure does stay in my wishlist for some time now. Since it come with mini mascara, I finally purchased it! 



      BRAND      
clio

      PRODUCT NAME      
"kill black" waterproof brush liner (+ mascara)

      type of product      
brush pen liner 

       color       
black

      PRICE      
krw 18.000 

      site info     
clio official site (korean)





Brush Pen Liner is actually my favorite eye liner type out of everything. I saved this for the time were my current eyeliner all ran out. But obviously this kinda of eyeliner didn't ran out as fast - I have to wait a minimum of 3 month if I want an eyeliner to ran out. I just can't contain myself to not to try this product. 

First, let's talk about the eyeliner and we'll talk a bit about the mascara later on! 




Nothing special about the packaging, like all other black brush pen liner. Black pen, with bold name on the center.

The brush tip size is perfect - not too thin and not too thick, and the brush is not flimsy so it's really easy to draw the eye line. Also the color is really, really black. Like SUPER BLACK. This is might be the blackest eyeliner I have in my collection. This doesn't have to be layered to make a super black line, just a single line is enough! 

I have not encounter any problem with it lasting power or smudging - everything is goooooood! 


Next, a little bit about the O'Tank Volume Mascara (with a little tank there). This mascara is sample size, and Clio have the normal size in their collection. 



This mascara have a super curvy wand! It's almost really awkward to coat my eyelashes in because I'm afraid that the corner will poke my eye balls. But nevertheless, the formulation is good. I can't say it's a dry mascara, but it didn't clump and separates my lashes really well (which usually wetter mascara didn't do). Realizing there is 'volume' word in the name, the mascara didn't really give volume, but more to lengthening effect.

LEFT with eyeliner and mascara RIGHT nothing! (Yes I have uneven eyeline T_T)

Overall, I really get why a LOT of people like this eyeliner, I LOVE IT. The price is definitely up there (KRW 18.000) but a lot of Japanese product also cost similar, but the color will not be as black! I'll be definitely be repurchasing this. 

And a little tip here for better application, this eyeliner works better when there's a layer of powder underneath. I found that using eyeshadow prior to application makes the eyeliner spread more evenly (no bloachy patch) - face powder is also good for the base! 

So that's it for today! Thank you for reading this review and I hope it helps your future purchases! 
Definitely left me a comment if you have something to talk to me! :3

H A U L - Highend & Seoul

Hello Everyone! Though I promise myself not to slack off and write write write every time I got a chance, the procrastination DNA that runs in my veins always sneak away and making my day less productive. But hey, I'm back!

Today is another long due post that I planned for months back, but ended up not being posted and I have to retake the pictures twice - even thrice I can't remember. As you can see from my posts, I'm usually not a girl that splurge out for beauty stuff, mainly because I'm currently living in Korea where I could get easier access to Korean beauty stuffs and also the price of high-end products that are allover pricier.

None of these product I got in Korea - and I bought these stuff with my own money unless stated! :D

Anw, here it is!



1. LORAC PRO eyeshadow palette, front of the line PRO eyeliner, and behind the scenes EYE PRIMER - Part of the Rockin' Red Hot Set for 2013 holiday. Not only it's cheaper than the eyeshadow palette itself, but it also come with bonuses to complete your eye look - eyeliner pen brush and eye primer! I got it off for IDR 600.000 from a friend KATH. I haven't try the eyeliner, but the eyeshadow palette is AS GOOD as everyone says! The primer is also great!  

2. MAC Pro longwear concealer in NC25 - HKD 150. I bought this baby in HK airport on my way back to Indonesia. And this is DA BOMB, it conceals so perfectly and definitely looooong wearing. I'm using this concealer whenever I need look 'flawless'. The pump is kinda hard to work with, but it's ok

3. BOBBI BROWN Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation SPF 15 in Warm Sand 2.5. HKD 450. Finally, my first high-end foundation that I have! I adore everything about this foundation - except for its scent that smells like a lavender massage oil. Fortunately I didn't have problem with the lavender oil. Another reason for me to invest on this foundation is because my graduation picture is going to be taken in this semester - and I definitely need a pretty good foundation so my face'll look good too. 




Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte in #7 Lingerie Pink and #8 Rose Fetish. Around KRW 55.000 - come in a pack of two, I asked a friend to purchase it for me (on an airplane - it's only available in several flight!). I always adored YSL lipstick packaging! Both of the color is pink - one is light baby pink (#7) and brighter pink (#8). I love these to death, and the scent is just so fresh, they smell like papaya! 

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine in #8 Pink in Confidence. Birthday gift from Shya&Pricil! The shine line is definitely more sheer but the lasting power is as good as the other two! In less than a month I have 3 YSL lipsticks!! :O The lipstick is an MLBB shade - I know I have to use it more often but I still kept it in the box ^^;

_____________________________________________________________________________

Next is my haul from Seoul! I've been splurging tooooo much beauty product and I tell myself not to buy more beauty products. After I overlook my purchases, you can see I'm going pants crazy. BUT I did't purchase *almost* no beauty product (unless you count nail polish as beauty stuff, then I'm screwed) 


top to bottom

1 & 2. FOREVER 21 - high rise denim jeans (medium denim) - KRW 9.800 & high waisted denim jeans (indigo blue) KRW 11.800 Forever 21 is a store that I never miss when I'm in Seoul - I can order online most of their items (and it's easier that way) but looking the stuff irl definitely make purchasing decision much easier and I won't have to go through sizing / material problem from online purchasing. I'm so happy that I purchase this two jeans (especially the second one!) because f21 jeans are thin, that makes them extra comfortable! 

3. UNIQLO - Black Jeggings. KRW 19.900 I lost my favorite f21 high waisted jeggings and I didn't see it in the store or the online store :( this jeggings is definitely comfortable, but it's not as thick (nor as cheap) my f21 jeggings - but nevertheless, I'm happy! :D

4. STYLE NANDA - Belt Set Denim Big Shorts. KRW 34.700 More pictures for this shorts in SN's website. I've been looking for a shorts like this, shorts that have a very big leg opening - you know what I'm sayin'. And the fabric is soooo soft! I know I might have to wait for months until I can actually wear this outside! 

5. FOREVER 21 - White T-shirt. KRW 6.800 just another necessities - another piece that I have to wait until summer to wear. 



STYLE NANDA Nail Lacquer in MT01. KRW 4.000 - I always wanted this color so bad but it's always sold out until my last visit to SN's flagship store! I freakin' love this color - very unique and definitely shiny and pigmented. On my nail is one layer with no top coat. LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

That's it for this time! I really love doing this kinda post. Not only I can talk about a lot of product in one post, but I felt like this kinda posts are more personal than 'review's. Recently I felt my blog is so un-personal. Maybe because I feel responsible to the 240+ followers (GUYS, THANKYOU SO MUCH I CAN'T NEVER DO ALL OF THIS WITHOUT YOU GUYS)
