Krave Beauty Oat So Simple Water Cream | Review

First beauty post of 2021! (Hoping to write more beauty related posts this year) 

I took awhile to decide whether I should get this product considering I'm quite picky with moisturisers/lotions. In the end, I got this product in May last year with my second order of Krave Beauty products. 

When it comes to moisturisers and lotions, I am picky about them because... Singapore is so hot and humid! I wouldn't want a product that is too thick or makes my face look oily. On the other hand, products that are not thick or oily, usually do not have the same moisturising value. 

Here are my thoughts after using this product...

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.

Too Cool For School: Art Class By Rodin ♥︎

I'm back with another beauty post! A few months have passed (it takes me forever to complete writing a post zzz) and I haven't posted any beauty content yet. So let's get right to it! Leggo!

I have been loving these products and been using them recently. Who ever said art class was difficult?

Too Cool For School
Art Class By Rodin
Contour • Highlighter • Blush

For the longest time, this collection just had the contour but in the recent years they added on the highlighter and then the blush. I got the contour first in April 2016 before getting the highlighter and blush around October 2016. Been crazy about this collection ever since!

Thoughts

Saw this product being highly reviewed and talked about on various YouTube videos so decided to get the contour one for myself. After trying it, the rest is history! Got the highlight and the blush at the same time without much thought.

They aren't too pricey as well, costing around ₩15,000 to ₩17,000.

Each of these comes with 3 different shades. I normally swirl all three shades together and apply them. Except for the bronzer where I use the middle shade to contour the sides of my nose. 

Swatches of the 3 shades. Apologies for the out of focus photo 😝  I haven't used the highlight much but it does provide just enough of a glow when applied. Comparing the bronzer and the blush, they both have matte finishes, however, the blush definitely has more fallout as compared to the bronzer. So instead of swirling, I end up tapping to get product on my brush.

But the colour is amazing! It became my daily blush like instantly. It's a pastel peachy kind of shade which happens to suit my skin tone perfectly.

Verdict

I would definitely recommend the contour one. I can totally see why it's a best seller and everyone's hot favourite item. (Recently hit pan while I was in Korea. Headed out to get another one that day itself. Hehehe.) As for the blush and highlight, I would say it's up to personal preference. The blush may not suit everyone so you might want to test it out before purchasing. And for the highlight, it isn't as obvious or pigmented as one would hope for but it's just enough for me.

Etude House: Play Color Eyes - In The Cafe ♥︎

How about a cup of coffee?

You can look perfect and ready for a cafe date with this lovely 10 shades eyeshadow palette!

Etude House
Play Color Eyes
In The Cafe

I'm back with another makeup review! It's been awhile since I've written anything makeup related. Been more active on Dayre but there's nothing like blogging properly over here. Without further ado, let's go right into this makeup review!

I got this palette when my friends went to Korea. It was a new release at that time and not available in Singapore. So, all the more I should get it right?

This is a 10 color eye shadow like coffee roasting comes in various texture for different expression of the eyes for different occasions.

Thoughts

I initially wasn't going to get the palette but after getting it, I don't think there was a moment when I've regretted getting it. The only reason that kept me in a dilemma was that I already had the three Naked palettes and I wondered if I would need another neutral palette.

However, I found myself picking this palette up more than the other palettes I have. Compared to the Naked palettes, the size is much more makeup bag friendly and there’s a wide range of looks I can accomplish with this palette that suits my personal preference - the natural and yet sparkly kind of look. 

The palette comes with 10 shades and it costs about ₩23,000 (estimated around SGD $27 to $28). Which really isn't too bad! It's also compact and really portable which is definitely a plus point. It fits into my makeup pouch so I can really bring it out for any occasion! I can't imagine carrying a Naked palette out, I would be so worried I would drop it and the shadows just crumble. It'll be the ultimate makeup lover's nightmare. 

Another selling point, well for me at least, was the pretty names! Etude House manages to give their products interesting and fun names, sometimes even delicious names. Below are the swatches of the shadows as well as the names.

The palette offers a good mix of matte, shimmer as well as sheer ones. I personally think that Etude House has rather pigmented shadows. I didn't need to press hard or rub hard to get a decent amount of product, as per most Etude House shadows.

So far I have tried various combinations and the shadows seem to go well with each other! That's another reason why I like it, it's very versatile. I can do a simple natural look and I can also do a glam look. The two shimmery brown shades actually look very well together and the few times I've used them, people have complimented the look.

Verdict

This palette is indeed a good buy and definitely worth considering. The pros of the product is of it's size and of course being able to do many different looks with it. It makes the spending worth it because you can do many looks with it. The colour pay off is good too. I'm not sure if they still have these in stores but if they do, I highly recommend it!

Etude House: Berry Delicious Fantastic Colour Eyes ♥︎

When I first saw this series from Etude House, I knew I would getting at least a few of the products. This product isn't a part of the haul post I wrote earlier as I got it later on.

Etude House
Berry Delicious Fantastic Colour Eyes
Strawberry Fondue

I wasn't intending on getting this product because of course the price wasn't favourable. On my birthday while I was just walking around, I saw this product sitting on the sale shelf of a Etude House store. I checked the price and it was I think around SGD $9. Although the sales lady mentioned that the birthday discount did not apply to discounted items, somehow after keying everything in, it further discounted this product. So in the end I got it for about SGD $6, which is ridiculously cheap.

You gotta love birthday discounts ♥

This product is no longer available, here's what the website says about it:

This is a 6 color eye shadow palette that comes in trendy colors and various textures for fantastic expression of the eyes for different occasions.

Thoughts

I really love the shades! 😍 Although I really don't like pink, I think pink eyeshadow colours are quite versatile and they look pretty good on tanner skin tones.

The names for this palette is just the cutest! Actually most of Etude House eyeshadows have very cute names. Sucker for pretty packaging and cute names! 

Here are the swatches of the 6 shades! I think they're all super pretty! I think my favourite shades would be Fresh Strawberry and Hazelnut Chocolate. 

The swatches above was just one swipe with my finger so they are pretty pigmented. That's quite expected of Etude House eyeshadows, especially their matte shadows. They're pretty easy to blend as well which again came as a surprise considering Etude House is classified as a drugstore brand or roadshop brand.

Sadly, there was one part of this product that I didn't really like. That would be the shade "Dip Dip!". It's the only shade that turned out to be a disappointment. Although it's a dark brown shade, it doesn't really appear dark brown. It's more towards the glittery side so I wasn't too impressed as I felt being the darkest colour in the palette, it was intended for it to be a shading shade.

I've also quite mixed feelings about the shade Hazelnut Chocolate. In the pan it appears more pinkish and when swatched too but somehow when applied on the eyes, it comes out more brown. So the first time using it, the whole look turned out different from what I imagined it to be. I’ll just have to be careful when using this shade.

Verdict

I would say this palette is pretty. I mean the strawberry packaging and strawberry shades, who can resist? But honestly, if it weren’t for the discount, I wouldn’t have gotten it either.

I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of all the shades but they’re not too bad like I mentioned above, Etude House is considered a drugstore brand so I would say they’re doing quite well with these eyeshadows.

I would recommend this palette if you’re a fan of Etude House products or use eyeshadows often otherwise you could get other products like maybe their single shadows, those probably would have a better colour payoff.

UK Drugstore Haul ♥︎

Compared to others, I would think that my hauls are generally quite small. Getting more than three items is pretty much considered a haul already. I don't really get a lot of stuff at one time but with all the little purchases, it does add up. Teehee.

I got all these products from two different drugstores, Boots and Superdrug. Personally, I feel like Superdrug has more options, plus my sister is a member at Superdrug so it made more sense to shop there. Then again, if it weren't for the membership, both Boots and Superdrug has quite regular sales. Sales like '3 for the price of 2' or something like that. I can't remember the exact terms they use. It doesn't matter how they call it, sale is sale!

Let's jump right into what I got! 😊

I realised I bought products for the face, probably because I already have enough items for eyes and lips 😝

• L'oreal Le Blush 163 Nectarine
• L'oreal Glam Bronze Mono 00 Blonde Sun

I got these items on the first day I was in Manchester. Yes, we went shopping on the first day. My sister brought me to a really big Boots outlet in the Manchester town and we got these items along with the Rimmel foundation which I will talk about next.

Decided to put these two items together because I got them together. If I'm not wrong I got them using the '2+1' sale. I can't really remember what they meant, probably it meant getting the cheapest item for free. My sister got a gloss to make it three items.

I knew I had to get the blush after seeing it on one of Zoella's videos (Boots Haul, if I'm not wrong). It's a peachy pink shade that surprisingly really suits my skin tone very well. I wore it on the second day in Manchester and it looked really quite fabulous 😍

I got the bronzer because, well, ever since I've added contouring into my daily makeup routine, it doesn't feel the same without it. I really like this bronzer for it's matte finish and it does look quite natural. The Korean contouring is usually on the natural and faint side compared to the western contouring. (Probably will do a post on my bronzers in the near future too)

The bronzer was a little bit troublesome though. I didn't check it when I got it, just took it and went to pay. When I got back and opened it, the powder was everywhere. It was cracked! I didn't drop it or do anything to it. So I brought it back to Boots the next day and did an exchange. The sales lady didn't look too happy but she did the exchange for me nonetheless 😊 It was a good experience though, experience of shopping overseas.

• Rimmel Match Perfection 200 Soft Beige

Once again I saw this product on one of Zoella's video and personally I don't have any liquid foundations. I've always used BB Creams or cushion foundations. Thought I'd give it a shot since Rimmel isn't too expensive.

Aside from the funky scent, I think it's pretty good! It has pretty good (medium to full) coverage which I really fancy.

It's of a pretty thick texture, more creamy than liquid, and because of that, I prefer using a brush to apply it. Using my fingers would make it feel thick and the application will not be as even as compared to a brush.

So far, I'm pretty pleased with this foundation! Although at times it does feel a little thick, after patting it down with my hands and applying powder, it does feel better. The only downside is that it has SPF20... I wouldn't wear this on a day when I've to be outdoors. The sun here is crazyyyy.

Also, I quite like that they have a large range of shades. I'm in the middle and actually towards the lighter side. I thought I'd be a Sand or something but I'm still in the Beige range. I'm not that tan. Yippee!

An extra interesting point, I used to think the testers at drugstores in SG were badly maintained until I shopped overseas, I realised, all the testers are badly maintain 😣  I guess it's not easy to keep an eye on all the testing counters.

• Real Techniques Expert Face Brush 

This is a new brush I got that I absolutely love! I first saw this on one of Weylie's videos and it really did a good job blending out her foundation. I first saw it on the first day at Superdrug but didn't get until we returned from our holiday. It retailed for £8 which converts to about $16. In the end I got it because it costs more in Singapore so I thought, why not. Plus I'd totally regret it when I came back.

So far I've been using this brush to apply the Rimmel foundation above and it really does do a good job! Unlike applying the product using sponge or fingers, I think using a brush like this would apply liquid foundations more evenly. I like how it doesn't absorb the foundation thus providing a pretty good coverage, making it seem that I have good complexion.

• Maybelline Baby Skin Cool Rose

I wasn't intending on getting this product but there was the 3 for 2 offer for Maybelline products.... I've heard that the blue tube one, Pore Eraser, is pretty good but since they have that in Singapore, I decided against it. Since sometimes I feel like I look quite sleepy, I got the Instant Fatigue Blur one. The colour is similar to my Etude House Face Blur one but the texture is more watery than that. It does make my skin look brighter and thus livelier?

It actually appears a little pinkish but after applying in on the face, it's no longer visible. So far I have been using this product in small amounts but I'll probably need to apply more to see how it works. Will definitely update you guys then.

• Maybelline Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye Nude

Wow, that's a really long name. This product is highly raved about! This is the product that I was planning to get as they don't have it in Singapore (some people have said to have seen it in town now). On the first day in Manchester when we went to the drugstore, the Maybelline section didn't have this product at all. I was totally disappointed! I thought it was sold out and left the shop totally heartbroken.

Thankfully when we returned from our travels, it was fully restocked! Maybe this is a new packaging or something but it doesn't matter, I was happy to get my hands on it!

When I first tried it out in Manchester, I kept twisting it but the product wouldn't come out. I gave up and decided to wait until I got back to use it. As seen in the swatch above, it looks rather light but it isn't too bad after blending it out as it doubles up as a highlighter as well.

I like using it for my dark circles because of the brightening effects, it really makes it less obvious. Plus, it doesn't feel sticky or thick which most concealers feel like after you put them on. I also use this to highlight my forehead and my nose bridge. Definitely recommend this product 👍🏻

---

In fact, my hauls are quite mini compared to other people. I really just buy what I (think I) need so that I don't overspend and end up with things that I won't use. Nonetheless, if you're there to shop and are more adventurous with makeup products, I'm sure there are a lot of more products that you can get and try out. It's really nice to have a drugstore. Watsons doesn't count as a drugstore because their prices are quite high since all the products are imported.

That brings me to this end of this rather long UK Drugstore Haul post! It took me a few days to type this whole post out. Of course, I was distracted in between... Anyway, hope this post was useful for those who are traveling to the UK ☺

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! ☺

Innisfree: No Sebum Mineral Powder & No Sebum Mineral Pact ♥︎

I don't know what's taken me so long to review this product especially since this is like the best thing out there. In fact, I'm sure most of you have already heard of this product or have this product in your makeup collection already.

It's a really popular product that was recommended by many beauty youtubers. Back then, I didn't apply powder after my foundation but since this product was highly recommended by so many people, I thought I'd give it a try when I went to Korea in 2014.

To me, these products are almost the same other than their names and pricing therefore I decided to review them together. I got the Mineral Powder in Korea and got the Mineral Pact later on when my dad visited Korea.

Here's the description for the products taken from the Innisfree website:

A replacement for oil control paper that leaves the skin soft and matte
1. The double sebum-control system controls the secretion of sebum to keep the skin soft and fresh all day long.
2. Jeju minerals and mint control skin oil and moisture to keep skin healthy.

Thoughts

As mentioned, I got the Mineral Powder first. There's 5g of product and I think I paid around ₩6,000 for it. I liked it's small packaging as it was easy to carry around unlike some other brands where mineral powders would come in big round tubs that aren't travel friendly.

The Mineral Pact comes with 8.5g of product and since my dad got it for me, I'm unsure of the price although I think it costs around SGD $16 at the local Innisfree stores.

Comparing the two products, I would say the Mineral Powder seems to works better as it is a loose powder so you are able to get more product on your face in a shorter amount of time. However, the problem with loose powders is that you do end up wasting some product in the process since you have to tap it into the cap and swirl it around with your brush.

The Mineral Pact is definitely convenient for touch ups especially if you're outside, no worry of accidentally spilling powder all over the toilet. When I'm at home, I like using the puff to pat powder over my face before using a powder brush to blend it.

I've tried using this product on my hair too. Yes, hair. Last year I had bangs and in the humid weather they always get oily. Whenever they start to show signs of oil, I would dab a bit of this product on my hair. It will absorb the oil and my bangs will be shine free. Pretty awesome right?

Verdict

This product is really like one of my daily go-to products. I definitely have to use this to end my makeup routine. The makeup isn't complete without this product. I guess due to the humid climate here, I rely on this product a lot to keep my face shine free. Even if you don't come from a humid country, this product works great as a setting powder and it feels so light and natural on the skin.

---

Hope that this review was useful although I'm quite sure that most people would have heard of this product before. Nonetheless hope it provided extra information for those who haven't decided if they should purchase this product. 

Tony Moly: Easy Touch Gel Eyeliner ;1st Impression ♥︎

Normally I don't write such posts but there's a first time for everything. So basically I purchased this product online without doing extensive research on it. I'll share my thoughts on the product after using it today!

Tony Moly
Easy Touch Gel Eyeliner
#1 Black

I saw some youtubers mentioning this product as a part of their monthly favourites, Hoversjelly and LiahYoo, if I'm not wrong. I'm so used to seeing the gel liner with the brush attached so I went to do some research. I wanted to know if it was a repackaged product or a new one. Turns out it was a different product altogether. Heres a description of the product from the Tony Moly website:

Waterproof gel type eyeliner for natural line with fascinating eye shape

Thoughts

I got this product on qoo10 for about SGD $8 and it comes with 4g of product. I've been quite impressed with the Backstage Gel Liner from this brand which I got back in 2012. It lasted me a year and I was expecting nothing less of this product especially since it was recommended by youtubers too.

I personally liked the packaging compared to the one with the brush as it's a little bulky with the brush sticking out. This packaging is kind of flat, like most gel liners around and thus easy to carry around in a makeup bag!

So far it seems the packaging is quite air tight as well. Previously, I bought a gel liner that didn't have an air tight container and it dried up really quickly. What a waste ☹ Reminder never to buy something just because it has a cute packaging.

Moving on to the texture and how the product holds up. I really like how the product applies really smoothly. Some eyeliners are quite clumpy and sticky so it's not easy to draw a crisp eyeline on the first try. Although it glides on easily, it isn't super black but that alright as you can just go over it again with more product.

I tried it for two days before writing this first impression post. On both days I used the same eyeliner brush and set the eyeliner with powder. The first day I wore it for about half a day, just till around lunch, and the second day I wore it a full day at work. It's probably not a very fair comparison as I'm out in the sun a lot during work but I guess it does show how this eyeliner lasts.

With the name like easy touch, I had the impression that it might not last long and smudge all over my eyes. Thankfully it held up pretty well even during work. It only smudged around mid afternoon just below the eyes. I guess it isn't something I can as the weather here is really humid and my eyelids tend to get oily. After wiping off the smudged areas and patting off the oil, the eyeliner lasted pretty well.

The Verdict

I'm surprised how this product turned out. I bought it expecting it to be worse than the oh so popular backstage gel liner. I would recommend it for those who are looking for a daily wear eyeliner and want something easy to work with. However, I wouldn't recommend this for those who prefer a really black and dark eyeliner, the backstage gel liner might work better for that.

---

That's all I have for this quick first impression post. Hope it was useful for those looking to try out this fairly new product.

Have A Jolly Christmas with Althea ♥

Christmas is round the corner! I sure hope you've already done your Christmas shopping! If you haven't, I might just have the solution for you!

I'm not sure if you have heard of Althea. It is a website that sells Korean beauty products. These products are shipped directly from Korea so you don't have to worry about authenticity ☺

I chose to do some Christmas shopping on Althea mostly because I don't have time after work to head out and shop. Another big reason why I chose to do shopping on Althea would be their Christmas promotions and sales!

These promotions include:

1. Free Shipping with purchases above S$30 (Originally it's free shipping above $50)
2. S$7 off S$50 purchases with code XMAS-SG
3. Limited Edition Christmas Beauty Box (While stocks last)
4. Christmas sales and promotions on Althea Korea Singapore! (Including Christmas collection beauty items) 

I've tried shopping on other websites that sold Korean beauty products and in comparison, I found Althea's website rather easy to navigate!

This is their main page with simple navigation buttons to help you look for items easily. 

When you've chosen an item, you can add it to you cart with just one click. 

A pop up appears giving you two options. I quite like this feature as it simplifies things a lot!

The payment page is easy to navigate as well. The website itself helps you to save money by helping you use up your points first!

It's really quite easy to purchase things on Althea. They also have a section under your account that allows you to see what items you've purchased before and you can purchase those items again by adding them into your cart.

The whole ordering process seems simple and straightforward enough right? ☺

But nothing beats the happiness of receiving your package in the mail! 

If I'm not wrong, my package arrived about 5 days after placing my order. It was shipped via EMS from Korea and even so I didn't expect it to arrive before 7 days. So of course I was very pleasantly surprised!

The package was wrapped nicely in a pink wrapper labelled with an Althea Christmas sticker. It was delivered to my door so you don't have to worry about the postman mishandling it or stuffing it into your postbox.

Inside was the Althea box wrapped in bubble wrap. And ta-da! It's a Christmas box, specially designed for the Christmas season! I didn't order many big items so I received the small box which is red. The bigger box is green. 

Isn't it lovely? I wouldn't have minded getting the green box but I think I like the red box better ☺

They did not fail to leave out the pretty pink tissue papers! The items were also wrapped nicely in bubble wrap and it even came with a free Etude House mask!

I shall briefly list the items that I got and I'll do a future review on the items that I didn't get as gifts.

1. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
2. Innisfree Creamy Tint Lip Mousse 04 Spring Romance Peach
3. Missha Soft Blending Stick Blusher 02 Rose Pink
4. The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer 2.0 Rich Beige

Aside from the Christmas promotions, Althea guarantees a best price match and also 30 days unconditional returns! Not only that, Althea has promotions for a wide range of products which would aid you in your Christmas expenditure! Who doesn't like sales and promotions right?

So those who need to get some Christmas shopping done, I highly recommend shopping on Althea! You can get Korean beauty products for a good price without having to travel to Korea! ☺

If you need recommendations or have questions, don't hesitate to ask 'em! I'll gladly answer your queries! And do stay tuned for more beauty product reviews coming soon! 

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.
