[REVIEW] The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Pore Daily Mask Foam

November 12, 2018 by Ana B

The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Pore Daily Mask Foam Review:

I got this product a long while back but then I bought other clay masks I really loved and never really got to even try this mask. It also is a clay mask, sort of like a melting clay mask, but mainly it’s a daily clay mask! Most of them are meant to be used two times per week.

So when I read this (when I finally paid attention) it intrigued me and I wanted to use this mask starting right then. I guess it’s one of the best instances of shopping my stash! And although it’s no magical wonder it is a very good mask and it also taught me about other clay masks. Not to mention it’s a mask and a cleanser all at once!

[REVIEW] The Face Shop Single Blush BR01 Dust Rose

The Face Shop Single Blush BR01 Dust Rose Review:

It took me a while to get my hands on The Face Shop’s Single Blush in Dust Rose, just because it is so darn popular. It was sold out all the time in Hong Kong and restocking takes forever, so imagine my surprise when I saw hundreds of these blushes at one of The Face Shop branches in Myeongdong!

Clearly it’s a well-loved product, best known for its shade in Dust Rose (#BR01) which has a more sophisticated vibe that works well with pretty much any bold eye or lip look in providing a natural flush of color.

[REVIEW] The Face Shop Blush Pop 03 Nudie Pop

The Face Shop Blush Pop 03 Nudie Pop Review:

Blush is one of the most staple product in my daily makeup routine. It’s not because I love blush but it’s because without blush, my complexion would look as pale as a zombie. I do have really fair skin and people are saying I look really pale so a pop of flush on my cheek is really appreciated.

Unfortunately, blushes seem to hate me because they won’t stay on my cheeks! I do have combination to oily skin so maybe that’s one of main factor why they wear of so fast. So far a blush that stay on my skin is the one from Colourpop.

Until I saw someone posted this blush on Instagram. They have 5 shades selection and all of them looks really pretty and natural, they even have a n*de shade I really love! With the affordable price and ‘long lasting’ claim, I was sold right at that moment.

[REVIEW+SWATCHES] NEW The Face Shop Gelato Tint 05 Brown Bonbon Chocolate

August 29, 2018August 13, 2018 by Debby P

The Face Shop Gelato Tint 05 Brown Bonbon Chocolate Review:

No one can deny that The Face Shop is one of the best in making an eye-catching packaging. Their Coca Cola and Apeach collections can prove that and most people I know (including me) are buying their products just because of the packaging only. I’m weak to cute packaging so it’s not weird that once again I purchased their newest release, the Gelato Tint just because of the packaging.

I was browsing for some new products on one of my favorite Korean beauty shops when I saw this lip tint. Let’s say just the advertisement alone already made me want to purchase the whole shades range. They actually made it in an ice cream shape! Who can resist that? The other reason is that it’s almost rare for Face Shop to make a new product (they usually just re-package the product in different packaging) so I’m curious to try it.

The new lip tint, the Gelato Tint is available in 6 shades and some of the shades look so similar to each other so I have a hard time in choosing the most different one. The shades are basically only pinks and corals so in the end I ended up choosing based on the flavor only. They have different flavors such as vanilla, mint, watermelon, chocolate, grape, and mango. So if you don’t know which shade to buy because of the similarity, maybe you can choose according to your favorite flavor.

[REVIEW+SWATCHES] The Face Shop Coca Cola Lip Tint 05 Coke Red

The Face Shop Coca Cola Lip Tint 05 Coke Red Review:

I’m not a fan of The Face Shop since I didn’t get too many positive results from their products (so far I’ve tried their base, cleansing and skincare products). I know they always release collaboration with other famous brands like Disney and Kakao, and this time they collaborated with Coca Cola which I think is very unique and different.

I purchased the cushion just because of the packaging but after I read Cintya’s review of the lip tint, I was tempted to try it as well since my lips and her lips type is a little bit similar. If I’m not mistaken, usually The Face Shop didn’t release a new product for their collaboration so I’m guessing this tint may be one of their older products but packaged in a different packaging.

The collection was sold out almost on every local online seller I found so I had to get it directly from South Korea and it took almost 2 months because of Eid holiday. I hope the quality would be as good as the packaging (and worth the wait).

[REVIEW] New 2018 The Face Shop Sweet Apeach Edition Kakao Friends Oil Control Water Cushion V201 Apricot Beige

The Face Shop Sweet Apeach Edition Kakao Friends Oil Control Water Cushion V201 Apricot Beige Review:

Another newest and cutest makeup collaboration this month! And now it comes from The Face Shop X Kakao Friends, Sweet Apeach edition! I was crazily impassioned when got a sneak peek of this collaboration from The Face Shop Facebook Page few days before it was officially launched on May 7th. I didn’t pay much attention for The Face Shop X Kakao Friends Hoodie Ryan edition. But this Sweet Apeach edition is totally cute and adorable (maybe because it’s pink!). I couldn’t resist it.

This Sweet Apeach edition comes with super cute cushion case, Baby Sunscreen Cushion, lip tint, eyeshadow palette, blotting powder, sun stick, hand cream, body wash, body lotion and they even have Dr. Belmeur soothing gel cream and tone up cream in Sweet Apeach jar. Ah, all are so cute! The Face Shop really knows how to take my money.

I finally bought this Special Cushion Case Sweet Apeach edition on May, 6th. Right, a day before its official launch (and I regretted why I didn’t wait until the D-day because they gave a special Apeach pouch as free gift for buying certain products. I cried T T ). I picked the Oil Control Water Cushion for the refill of my Sweet Apeach cushion case. So, are you ready to meet the cute Apeach?

The Face Shop Coca Cola Lip Tint 03 Harmony Pink Review:

When I came to know about this collaboration, I was like, “Are you kidding me, The Face Shop? Coca Cola?! But WHY???” Well, I don’t mean that this is ugly. No. But, who would even buy this? So, I thought I wouldn’t waste my money for this. BUT on the next day, I found myself crawled on internet to find any information about this makeup collaboration and finally bought one of the lip tints. LOL.

Actually The Face Shop launched two lip tints in this collaboration, this one and the other one has a polar bear snow globe on the top. I don’t know why but I was tempted with this Coca Cola Lip Tint instead of the Coke Bear Lip Tint though the bear one is super cute. They also have cushion, eyeshadow palette, lipstick and compact powder for this Coca Cola edition. Of course, all of them come in red coke theme. In the end I have to admit that the vibrant red packaging is like a boat sailing in my head, haha! That’s why I decided to get one. Anyway, here is the review of Coca Cola Lip Tint in shade #03 Harmony Pink. Let’s see if this Cola-boration is worth it or not!

The Face Shop InkGel Eyeliner Review:

Hello everyone! Today I will be introducing my holy grail fail proof eyeliners, by The Face Shop. The eyeliners were recommended to me by a friend working at TFS, I tried it out because they claim to be waterproof. They’re only $10 Canadian, I got them on sale for 50% off!

The eyeliners are automatic that includes a mini sharpener on the end. There are 12 different shades, matte and shimmer. I absolutely adore the matte ones and they have performed really well on my waterline. The shades that I got are 01 New York Black (matte), 03 Seattle Brown (matte), 09 Peach Cinnamon (shimmer), 12 Peach Vanilla Syrup (shimmer).

[REVIEW] The Face Shop Lip Top Coat

March 25, 2018March 25, 2018 by Ana B

The Face Shop Lip Top Coat Review:

After reading the review (with very sad news) of the April Skin lip fixer, I at least knew I had one less product to try. So I turned to a brand I knew decently well and got their lip top coat. Honestly, right from the start I thought it was extremely expensive for the amount of product – but also the tube didn’t even come full so I doubt it had the 5g they promised – but nonetheless I decided to use it and review it.

People with dry lips know that lipsticks with no transfer are worse for our lips than others, and it adds to the sad reality that you’re stuck with moist lipsticks that usually transfer everywhere.

So in the end, how does this perform?
