Hi Everyone! As you may know (again, if you follow my Instagram! I always update there first so go follow @mysugarcoffee) I've collaborated with YES STYLE (yes! that famous website for Korean brand makeup and fashion!) I'm more than excited when I got their collaboration offer in my email. And moreeee excited because the product they want to sent me are all from Innisfree (If you're not here long enough, well I'M AN INNISFREE HOE).
And since they ask me to make a beauty related video so they're sending makeup (obviously). Anddd as much as I love Innisfree, I think I invested more in their skin care than their makeup products so this is a win-win for me. Here's the collaboration video in case you've missed it:
So, in the video I feature 4 products which are: Innisfree Skinny Brow Mascara in Espresso Brown, Innisfree Always New Auto Pencil #10 Juniper Way and #29 Camellia Garden Path, and Innisfree Smart Drawing Blusher #5 Shy Camellia Flower
Since it's just a one minute video, here's a dedicated blog post to review each products and what I think of them! I will link the products to YES STYLE website so you can directly purchase the products if you're interested. Remember! Every FIRST Purchase you can get extra 10% off with "YESSTYLE" code!
Around IDR 111.000
As the name suggest, it's Skinny! It's one of Innisfree Skinny line product, I think they have several eye-related product such as Mascara and Eyeliner - and honestly I don't really need a brow mascara since I dyed my hair black.
BUT after using the product, I kept on reaching this and it's easily became my eyebrow routine. Why?
1. It's separate my eyebrow, and coat them so they look thicker!
2. You guys know that bushy-on-the-front eyebrow trend? It's definitely easier to achieve with this product because you can really work on the details
3. It's super pigmented, it make my brow looks so much nicer
4. It last a long day - without any clumps!
Ok, the last point, the no clump one is definitely like a given one because you see how skinny is the wand but the fact that it has sooo many pigments it kinda shook me. I wouldn't expect for a product like this with a super thin wand would have pigmentation so good! Lasting power is also superb! But one thing that I concern about this kinda product is looking at how small the product is, will it last a long time or maybe it'll dry out in 3 weeks? Now that's I have to try longer to see and I'll be back and edit this part for more details.
Around IDR 150.000
Next one is Innisfree Always New Auto Liner in #10 Juniper Way and #29 Camellia Garden Path - So they asked me to choose 2 shade for eyeliner and lip color respectively. Juniper Way was my second choice because my initial first option was sold out (but I don't remember which one).
Talking about the Always New Auto Liner, i just realized that the way it re-sharpen the pencil is different from the previous version.
As you can see in the pictures there's a different in the old and new version.
In the old version, you need to turn the cap until there's a clicking sound and it'll sharpen itself.
For the new version, you will need to press the bottom part, and it will dispense the liner a bit and then you turn the cap in and you'll have sharper liner. In the new version, the sharping function in the cap won't work it you did not dispense the product. Meaning you can maybe save a bit more product, because in the old version you have to sharpen the product everytime you remove the cap. To be able to securely close the cap, you have to turn it until it clicks, and that means if you're not using a lot, you'll waste a bit of liner everytime you use. I think it's a better improvement!
#10 Juniper Way is medium brown shade with gold glitters. The shade actually is too light for my preference for eyeliner. I prefer darker one. But this shade is perfect if you like a more natural look or using eyeliner for underlining your eyes, I think this eyeliner is perfect for undereye, especially that gold glitters will reflect a bit.
#29 Camellia Garden Path is a bright pink mauve-y shade. I have a lot to say this particular shade - not in a bad way ofcourse. First, I don't use a lot of lip liner nor use one as a full on lip shade. So I thought I'm gonna use it for the video and that's that. The first time I swatched the product, I found out that the texture is very buttery - not what I expect from a lip liner (I always thought they glides on ok but not as far as buttery). Thennnn when I applied in on the lips the pigment just showed on soooo good on the lips, it even covered stains on my lips. Because it was so buttery, I thought I will have to dispense more product - but! even after 1 full lips application it still so sharp there's no need to dispense more :))) and the shade is soooo good to! Lasting power is ok - like a regular lipstick but I'm shook because it didn't dry out my lips.
Easy to sharpen!
The last but not least, Innisfree Smart Blusher in #5 Shy Camellia Flower
The thing that I love about this product is that it's literally already made for blush so it's really easy to blend! Not like other cream blusher that usually you have to be very careful for not over apply - it seems that it's almost impossible to over apply this product. It's texture is like gel, so it's more watery than creme, even with the brush inside I can blend it to perfection (since it's so watery) but without losing its pigment :) Lasting power is ok, because its kinda hard to layer to make it really pop - it looks really natural with this product so it's perfect for you that love natural look. And because of its watery texture, it's also not a problem to blend it over powdered face. But ofcourse blending it on non-powdered face is easier :)
Overall, I love all these 4 products - it seems like with this collaboration opportunity, I can venture out to products from Innisfree that I wouldn't try if I was on the store! I cannot recommend these products enough <3
