[REVIEW+SWATCHES] Colorgram x Miffy Thunderbolt Tint Meringue 01 Apple

March 19, 2019 by Debby P

Colorgram x Miffy Thunderbolt Tint Meringue 01 Apple Review:

Last February, Colorgram was back with their latest release and this time they did a collaboration with character Miffy! I read the news about Colorgram and Miffy collaboration (honestly I don’t even know what Miffy is until I search about it online) and the packaging is too cute too pass on. For this collaboration they make a collection which consists of lip tints, liquid shadows, concealer, cushion, and other products as well.

The thing is, Colorgram is one of the most difficult brands to find in my country, even I had a hard time in finding info about their new release including this tint. Apparently they didn’t have an official website so the only source you can find about them is through Olive Young’s website. But the website along with description of each product was in Korean so I couldn’t understand the information about this tint at all except that it has a moisturizing matte finish.

This tint is called Thunder Ball Tint Meringue and I think based on the name only, it’s a creamier version of their well-known Thunder Ball Tint Lacquer. I haven’t try the Lacquer version but I heard good things about it. From Colorgram, I’ve tried their Liquid Shadow and so far I’m so satisfied with how it performs on me so I decided to pick this tint, not only because the cute packaging but also because I want to know if it will work on me as good as their liquid shadow.

For the collaboration, they have 5 shades and I’ll be honest, all of the shades look so similar to each other! When I saw the official swatch picture, I was confused on how I should choose the shade because I saw almost no difference between those shades. At the end I chose shade 01 just because it is the lightest one out of those 5 shades.

[REVIEW] Swanicoco Bitamin C Calm Down Skintoner

Swanicoco Bitamin C Calm Down Skintoner Review:

I first got this product as a part of the brand’s supporters event “Swans 2”. But I used it all up, and I loved it, and so did my boyfriend, we ended up getting a second one. Now I already finished it and since winter is almost gone I probably won’t get another one… until October.

It was my second Vitamin C product but as a toner I didn’t expect that much of it, except that obviously I was pleasantly surprised!

It’s not the cheapest toner but obviously it’s inexpensive and good or I wouldn’t be going back to it over and over.

[REVIEW] CLIO Dermatory Allantoin Hypoallergenic Moisturizing Toner

CLIO Dermatory Allantoin Hypoallergenic Moisturizing Toner Review:

I guess it is kind of obvious that I’m a fan of Dermatory products, considering this is the third product from them that I’m reviewing! Well I didn’t like the Dermatory sunscreen, but the emollient (emulsion) was great, and so I wanted to try the toner too. With dry and dehydrated skin, I’m always on the look out for hydrating watery toners. Dermatory markets this one as being good for sensitive skin and as being soothing. I wondered if it would be something similar to Etude House’s Soon Jung toner (which is great), as in ideal for when your skin is irritated.

It also has a short ingredient list and contains many interesting things – such as Ceramide NP, allantoin and a lot of extracts including centella, fig, honey and damask rose flower water. So, it sounded like another watery, hydrating toner with the added benefits of centella and ceramide! It also contains panthenol, like Etude House’s Soon Jung. Read on if you’re curious to see how hydrating and soothing this toner is!

[REVIEW] Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Review:

Having a combination skin wasn’t really a worry for me when choosing for the best cream/ moisturizer, however, I have a combination PLUS sensitive skin so the latter part was pretty much the problem. I have heard tons of positive reviews (including celebrities) about the brand Kiehl’s, especially about this Ultra Facial Cream. When I had the chance to do some last minute shopping in Hawaii before heading back to our island, I didn’t hesitate to grab 2 of these and wondered if this would be a permanent for me.

[REVIEW+SWATCHES] 2019 Etude House Colorful Vivid Tint OR203 Iced Persimmon

Etude House Colorful Vivid Tint OR203 Iced Persimmon Review:

If you didn’t know, Etude is one of many brands that keep releasing new product and following the trend. This time, Etude already launched their latest collection for S/S 2019 collection which is consists of blushers, matte liquid lips, shine liquid lips, and many others. I really want to get the collection but when I browsed their website, my eyes fell on the new tint called Colorful Vivid Tint.

Colorful Vivid Tint is not a part of the S/S collection but it is launched almost at the same time so I guess I can say it’s a product for S/S season as well. On social media, you can find complete swatch of this tint and as usual from Etude, their shade range is not too far from pinks, reds, and oranges shades. In total, they have 10 shades.

The price is very affordable so if you are a fan of Etude’s lip tint, this won’t be heavy on the budget. To be honest, Etude’s lip tints are not my favorite, for some reasons there’s always hit and miss with their lip products. That’s why I want to try to see if this tint will be hit or will be another miss for me.

[REVIEW] IUNIK Black Snail Restore Serum

March 9, 2019 by Alla S

IUNIK Black Snail Restore Serum Review:

Snail Mucin is one of the most popular ingredients in Korean cosmetics. On its basis, cosmetic brands produce gels, creams, masks, serums and etc. For myself, to get acquainted with this magical ingredient, I chose a serum from the brand iUNIK.

The brand’s philosophy is to produce products that are ideal for the skin using natural ingredients. Agree, it sounds very tempting) The brand does not have a large number of products in its lineup. That is why I want to believe that all their products will be well formulated and will help in the fight for beautiful skin.

[REVIEW+SWATCHES] 2019 S/S Peripera Ink Airy Velvet Stick 05 Burnt Tangerine

Peripera Ink Airy Velvet Stick 05 Burnt Tangerine Review:

For the new S/S 2019 collection, Peripera not only released the new Airy Ink Velvet but they also launched the new Ink Airy Velvet Stick. If the name sounds familiar, it is because in the past they have a similar product yet it didn’t promoted as well as their Ink Tint series. Maybe because the huge popularity of the Airy Ink Velvet, they decide to make it in an original lipstick form as not everyone loves liquid lip product so I think it’s a good decision.

If I remember correctly, they have a collection of mini Ink Velvet Stick but it’s not too hyped, mainly because Peripera didn’t advertised it well but this new Airy Velvet Stick, I think they gave PR box to some of Korean popular influencers because I keep seeing reviews of it all over my Instagram (and maybe that’s why I got interested too and end up with purchasing it).

As for the shade range, they have 8 shades to choose from and honestly all shades look pretty but once again, I don’t trust Peripera’s official swatch picture so if you are too, you can look for swatches picture on Instagram and YouTube. The only downside is because most of Koreans have light skin, you will find a hard time in finding a swatch for deeper skin tone.

[REVIEW] Etude House Happy With Piglet Look At My Eyes PK018 I Like You Jewel

Etude House Happy With Piglet Look At My Eyes PK018 I Like You (Jewel) Review:

For this collection they made a bunch of individual shadows that include from glitter to matte, from pink to brown, meaning they made them in the most common Korean preferences. But for once that is actually good, since we all get this for the package amirite? I asked them to give one to me at random and this one is the one I got. Surprisingly it’s not the most popular shade!

The names of all product shades are adorable. Other than this “I like you” you can also find adorable stuff like “don’t be sad”, “cheer up”, “a spoonful of honey”, and all types of emotions like “gloomy piggy” and “shy piggy”.

[REVIEW+SWATCHES] 2019 S/S New Peripera Ink Airy Velvet 02 Selfie Orange Brown

March 9, 2019March 3, 2019 by Debby P

2019 S/S New Peripera Ink Airy Velvet 02 Selfie Orange Brown Review:

It’s been awhile since Peripera released their Ink The Lacquer Tint and now finally they are back with the latest release, the New Ink Airy Velvet Tint! I’m sure you have heard about the Ink Airy Velvet because that tint was so popular, both in Korea and internationally. Peripera even made several series with the tint and I tried some of them already but sadly I have to say that it wasn’t my favorite lip tint.

I’m very excited when I saw that Peripera finally opened their official store on my favorite marketplace and they sell the tint with an affordable price! Not only this tint, they also came with a new Airy Ink Velvet Stick so of course I have to get both of them to try.

This time, they re-released the tint with brand new appearance and if I’m not mistaken, I think they re-formulated it as well. I have to say the packaging itself makes me buy the tint but the shades range also totally my style. They consists of 5 beautiful shades and most of them are wearable for daily activities. If you are a fan of soft and natural tint color, then you will love the shade range.
