[REVIEW] Colourpop X Kathleen Lights – Dream St. Shadow Palette

March 26, 2018March 26, 2018 by Cintya A

Colourpop X Kathleen Lights – Dream St. Shadow Palette Review:

I kept eyeing this Dream St. palette since I saw it on Colourpop Instagram, few days before it’s officially launched. I immediately fell in love with all shades of 12 eyeshadows in this palette. They are all pretty and, like its name, very dreamy. And I guess a lot of beauty enthusiasts around the world have a same thought. No wonder, this palette was sold out in few hours after launched. Luckily, Colourpop worked hard to restock this product in several days, thus I was very happy to get mine a day before Christmas last year. It’s like a Christmas gift, haha!

Dream St. makeup collection is the second collaboration from Colourpop with a lovely and talented beauty influencer, Kathleen Lights. I did not know much about her before but then started following her because I love her videos and the shades she chose for this makeup collection seemed to be very pretty. They launched not only an eyeshadow palette but also three shades of lip cream with matte, satin and glossy finish. Following my good experience with Colourpop X My Little Pony Shadow Palette, I hope this Colourpop Dream St. Shadow Palette give me awesome result as well. Let’s see!

[REVIEW] La Roche-Posay Toleriane Soothing Protective Skincare

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Soothing Protective Skincare Review:

La Roche-Posay is a famous drugstore brand from France. Their products are claimed by dermatologists and are tested on sensitive skins. And that’s the reason why I gave this one a try.

There was one time that I got a horrible breakout because of cosmetic allergy (poor me) and I decided to go to a dermatologist. She gave me an antibiotic liquid and warned that it would dry my skin. And you know, my skin was really really sensitive at that time, so she recommended me to use the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Soothing Protective Skincare to gently moisturize my skin. The name of this products may seem really weird to be honest however it does describe itself pretty exactly. We will get to that!

[REVIEW] Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Crème Light 5

Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Crème Light 5 Review:

Honestly my least favorite part on my face is my undereyes area. It’s dry, full of fine lines, and they are so dark. I have really bad dark circles under my eyes and I have to apply concealer to lighten those up everytime I want to leave my house.

That’s why concealer is a staple thing in my collection, it’s something I need to bring everytime I go on a trip. I tried so many concealers before, from the cheapest one to those which prices are so up there I can’t even understand why I bought them. But I keep buying them just to try different brands and until now I only have 2 favorites so far.

This time I decided to purchase the infamous concealer from Kat Von D, the Lock-It Concealer Crème. If I remember correctly, they released a concealer with a similar name in a small tube packaging but they upgraded to this new version.

[REVIEW] Jordana Made to Last Liquid Eyeshadow 03 Immortal Metal & 04 Uphold Gold

Jordana Made to Last Liquid Eyeshadow 03 Immortal Metal & 04 Uphold Gold Review:

I was browsing some makeup in the middle of the night when I saw these. I’ve heard about Jordana before (their liquid lipstick as a big hit) but I never tried their eye products before. When these items were on sale, there are not many liquid eyeshadows available in the market so I was interested to buy and try it.

Jordana is a drugstore brand and it’s fairly easy to find. They sell makeup products for affordable price and they do have good quality. Their brand is not as famous as Wet n Wild or Maybelline but I love everything I had tried from them before.

[REVIEW] J.Cat Beauty You Glow Girl Baked Highlighter Bella Rose

J.Cat Beauty You Glow Girl Baked Highlighter Bella Rose Review:

My favorite makeup product is powder highlighters. They make my skin looks so healthy and glowy. For me, more intense the highlighter is better. I do like natural highlighter as well but since I love matte makeup look, the brighter one can make my skin looks more alive and not flat.

Even though there are lots of good highlighters from the high-end brands, I prefer one from the drugstore because I feel they have similar quality and sometimes they even look better on my cheekbones. I love highlighters from Wet n Wild, The Saem, Colourpop, and Etude House so I purchased myself another highlighter from J.Cat Beauty, a drugstore brand known for their good quality and affordable prices.

Everyone around me told me to get this highlighter because of its good reviews and the price is really cheap for a highlighter with a huge amount of product. They have 8.5gr worth of product and I think I never seen a highlighter as huge as this one except from Jeffree Star but it’s a high-end product so I can’t compare them.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Review:

La Roche – Posay is a very well-known brand among those with acne-prone or sensitive skin and I have always wanted to try its products. The Cicaplast Baume B5 is the first product I purchased from La Roche – Posay as I was in search for a new moisturizer.

[REVIEW] Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick Nudist Peach

Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick Nudist Peach Review:

Wet n Wild is one of my favorite brands. They are affordable, you can find them almost everywhere, the quality is comparable to other more expensive brands, and they are cruelty free! I used most of their products such as foundation, highlighter, lipstick, bronzer and I love all of them. That’s why I’m so excited when I saw they will release a collection of matte liquid lipstick.

The liquid lipstick originally came in 13 shades if I’m not mistaken but they added another 13 shades. They have pretty good range of shades, from n*des to bold colors and even green and black. It’s not surprising though because Wet n Wild always made unique colors (and their Halloween collection is always bomb).

I got mine from the nearest drugstore and lucky me it was 30% off so I got it with a very cheap price. I didn’t swatch it though because they have no tester at that moment so I didn’t know exactly what kind of shade Nudist Peach is. I have no idea if it will match me or not.

Whamisa by Glow Recipe Green Tea Serum Toner Review:

This innovative serum toner duo was cooked up through a collaboration with well known K-beauty retailer Glow Recipe and equally as well known K-cosmetic brand Whamisa. The collaboration was intended to introduce new and perhaps not so new K-beauty consumers around the world to Whamisa grade products at a more budget friendly price without compromising quality and effectiveness.

I decided to purchase this product when formulating my skin care routine late 2017. It is one of my first introductions to both Whamisa brand and Glow Recipe brand products.

Bonajour Eggplant Daily BHA Toner Review:

I wanted to try this product as soon as I heard about it for two reasons. One is that Bonajour is a surprisingly good brand that keeps amazing me, and they do use lots of natural ingredients. The other one is… it’s an Eggplant toner, come on. And it’s purple! Wouldn’t you want to try that?
