Laneige: Lip Sleeping Mask ♥︎

Lately, I’ve been having very very dry lips. Even after applying lip balm, my lips tend to peel and it gets rather itchy and uncomfortable. I tried many different methods to prevent this from happening but none of them seem to work. Little did I realise the solution was actually sitting on my dressing table.

Etude House: Berry Delicious Haul ♥︎

Etude's House latest collection probably has everyone smitten. I was already deciding on what products to get even before the collection arrived in stores on 5th March 2016. Since the products were released in Korea first, I managed to do sufficient research searching for reviews before deciding what products to purchase.

So let's begin this quick haul post! I'll be doing separate reviews for these items in later posts. Many apologies that this post is going to go up so late as I was away on a holiday. Hope that it'll still be useful.

I think I really went quite crazy with this collection as you can see from the above photo. The anticipation probably built up while watching videos on the products.

1. Berry Delicious Colour in Liquid Lips

I got the colours RD305 Berry Berry Much and PK015 Berry Tropical Dream. I was deciding in between PK015 Berry Tropical Dream and PK014 Berry Cherry To Go. I went with PK015 in the end as the colour seemed more unique, more towards purple. The PK014 is more towards the pinkish orange side and rather similar to other lippies that I already own.

The colour payoff seemed quite good. That's how I ended up with two tubes. It retails for about SGD $17 for 3.5g of product. So far, it looks and feels different from the other Colour in Liquid Lips products will test it out and do a comparison in the review post.

2. Berry Delicious Fresh Cream Blusher

I don't need a new blusher but decided to try this product out after hearing about it's unique texture. Apparently people have been saying that it looks like a cream blusher but doesn't feel like it, it feels rather powdery. After testing it at the shop, the texture is somewhat in between a cream and a powder. So it probably wouldn't work with a brush. Even the sponge that comes with it is rather special. It's slightly sticky, probably catered to pick up the product. 

This product retailed about SGD $15 for 6g of product. It seems like this product might work well with the given sponge only. I tried swatching it using my finger and it really picked up quite a lot of product.

So far the few times that I've tried this product out, if you use a really light hand it shouldn't appear too thick. I think it suits my skin tone pretty well. The other two shades of blush may not suit darker skin tones as they're quite light and even fair people have reviewed that the product doesn't really appear.

3. Berry Delicious Strawberry Soufle Nail 

I got 3 colours out of the 10 shades they had. From left to right, #8, #10 and #1. I haven't tried any of these products yet but based on my experience with Etude House nail polishes, they seem to have pretty good colour payoff and they can last an average of 1 to 2 weeks with good base and top coat.

That's all for this quick haul post. If you do have any questions about this Berry Delicious series, do not hesitate to ask! Hope you've enjoyed reading this haul post and greetings from the UK! ☺

Laneige: Two Tone Lip Bar ♥︎

I don't know where to begin with this product. It's seriously my latest favourite lip product! I've been using it a few days in a row and that usually doesn't happen as I change my lippy colour almost daily when I do actually decide to wear something on my lips.

Laneige

Two Tone Lip Bar

06 Pink Step

I first saw this product on one of Jen (meejmuse)'s videos and it looked interesting. I wasn't going to get this product as Laneige products are usually pricier. However, there was a 1-for-1 sale on qoo10 so I got this together with my friend. Here's a description of the product from the Laneige website:

One lipstick Two colors

Create your own two tone mix with the artistic lipstick

We decided to get this shade as it seemed like the safest one. That's the problem with buying things online, you can't test the colours to see what suits you the most. But that definitely doesn't stop me from online shopping ☺

My Thoughts

I got this product in 06 Pink Step and it comes with 2g of product. The sale price was around SGD $19, I think it retails for slightly more. The packaging it slim and easy to carry around. Definitely handy for a quick touch up.

I thought it was pretty cool that it came in a rectangular shape. It became even cooler after applying it for the first time. Application was very smooth! The colour glides on easily and pretty evenly as well. The rectangular shape allows for you to darken any particular shade. Let's say if you want to make the darker shade more obvious, you can just use the corner of the dark shade and apply another layer. If you don't want the gradient effect, you also have the option of turning the lipstick and applying it so that the two colours blend together.

One product, so many ways of using it! ☺

As you can see from the photo above, this product is not very glossy but it's creamy. It feels very comfortable to have on the lips and it is not drying. It's pretty long lasting as well, even after eating there'll be some product left on your lips although the gradient wouldn't be that obvious anymore.

Most people would find it difficult to push the product out as the little lever is quite stiff. I think it's a good thing though as you know it wouldn't budge easily even if you keep it in your bag. Do take note, do not push the lever down when the cap is on. The product will get squished in the cap.

The Verdict

I definitely recommend this product! It'll be a very good Christmas gift ☺ I think it's really worth the price as you're paying for the quality of the product. Although I don't really have other Laneige products to compare with, I've heard a lot of praises about Laneige lip products. So I really hope you'll consider getting this for yourself or for someone else.

That's all for this beauty product review! I do realise that I've purchased a lot of lip products recently. So you'll probably see more lip products review coming soon! Hope you've found this review useful and just in time for Christmas ☺

Etude House: Sweet Cherry Tint ♥︎

Here's another beauty product review! As promised, I would be writing more beauty reviews. They brought this product in not too long ago and it took me awhile before deciding to get it.

Etude House
Sweet Cherry Tint
OR201

I check out the Etude House Korean website frequently enough to know all their new products. This product caught my eye when I first saw it. I liked the Fresh Cherry Tint which is a liquid tint and I wondered how this Sweet Cherry Tint would be like. Here's the description of the product:

This is a lip tint that provides moist, shiny, plump looking lips like a sweet cherry.

The testers at the Etude House store were kind of messed up so I didn't manage to test all the shades. I only got the product on the second or third visit to the store. Yes, it takes me time to purchase something. If I keep thinking about the product after I go home then it's certain that I'll have to buy it. 

My Thoughts

It costed about SGD $12 and comes with 1.8g of product. I don't particular consider it to be a lot of product but I do like that it's rather thin, making it easier for storage and also application. I can just quickly apply it on without much worry about it being applied outside of my lips. 

There's a down side to this product though. Although the packing appears like it's a normal lip stick or balm where you twist the bottom for the product to come out and back in. However, you can only twist this product out and not back in. I don't know if it's a good thing or not but it is not easy to twist this product out. You might be twisting for a long time and only a little product pops out but actually may be a good thing since you can't twist it back in. 

The colour payoff is pretty good. I had to swatch it on my wrist as I've gotten really tan recently and I wanted to show how the colour actually looks >.< Although it's the orange shade, it is more of a reddish orange.

In terms of moisturising factors, I find this quite moisturising despite it being a tint. I would think of it as a tint balm. Not only that, it doesn't have a matte finish but a rather glossy one. All these factors do match up to what they said it to be.

The Verdict

I would recommend this product to those who are looking for something natural looking, quick and easy to apply. The colour does show up quite clearly for a tint and also the moisturising qualities come as a plus point.



That is all for this product review! Hope that you found it useful! Hehe. I realised that I've been reviewing a lot of products from Etude House. Do not fret! There'll be more reviews of products from other brands, coming soon! Hehe.
