I've used these for a few years now. I love how pigmented and creamy they are! I used to carry one in my bag to touch up my lips, however the lid cracked and the product kind of went all over my bag so definitely be careful about that. The product itself is really good! Really pigmented and is smooth when applying on your lips. It's also moisturising which is good!
When I first applied it onto my lips I was surprised at how creamy and pigmented it was. It felt so nice on my lips however it didn't match the makeup I wore it with, but if i did something different with my eye makeup I feel it would be a lot better!
I really love the colour payoff! It's pigmented and not sticky at all so it feels really smooth. This would be a perfect lipgloss to match with a lot of makeup looks. It probably won't stay on after you eat so you will need to reapply!
It's a very light colour, you only get a very subtle look. Very natural so if you want something with more colour this might not be the product (or colour for you).
I absolutely LOVE these! So I first used the crayon side to apply all over my lips, then I use the smudger on top. As you can see in the picture I just applied the smudget at the top so you can see the difference. The colour changes and gives a matte finish.
This one is one of my favourites of the lots! When you apply it is quite sticky and doesn't go on as smoothly. It feels like you have oil on your lips, however it is amazing! It stained my lips so it's a great lip tint! The colour is awesome and I feel I will use this for a very long time.
This product is very watery. Unlike the pink one I tried, this one has more colour. It has a matte finish when it dries and the colour is really pretty!
I made a video a few weeks ago on my EPIC KOREAN MAKEUP AND SKINCARE HAUL on Youtube!! Today I'm going to blog about the items I showed in the video and just going in a bit of detail about the items!
I went to Korea last month for Amore Pacific's Beauty Week 2015. It was such an amazing event and i got to meet so many Youtubers! It was such a busy week filled with SO much fun! Amore Pacific is a huge Korean makeup company and they own a lot of different Korean brands such as Etude House, Innisfree, Laneige, Iope and Mamonde for example. Today I have a HUGE Korean Makeup & Skincare haul to share with you guys. Most of you guys probably already know that I have totally converted to Korean makeup and skincare.
Before I start I just wanted to say that I didn't buy all these items. Most of these items were given in our welcome suitcase that Amore Pacific gave to us all when we arrived in Korea. They actually gave us a whole suitcase full of makeup which was absolutely crazy!! I so did not expect that!
First off I'm going to show the items that I got myself whilst I was in Korea!
I really love Etude House brushes. They are so cheap and they are REALLY good quality. I bought a whole bunch of them last time so this time I got some more that I didn't have~ They are less than $10 each and are just awesome quality!
My friend calarygirl on Youtube recommended me this concealer! I really like it because it comes with a stick and liquid conealer in 1! So it works really well overall. The coverage is also really good!
Etude House My Beauty Tool 02 Longlash
False Lashes! Never tried them out before so can't wait!
I actually used this a few days ago, it's not bad but it isn't great either. It was only $1 though so I was glad I was able to try it out, but probably won't repurchase it.
I've heard so many good things about the Perfect Blur Face Kit! It's a primer and is meant to give you perfect glowy skin. I was going to get the bigger version but I found this one with the brush, and I've always wanted to try out this brush. I am SO glad I got this, because the brush is actually REALLY amazing. Blends SO well and is also very soft. You can purchase the brush separately for around $10-$15 I think. The Etude House Perfect Blur Face itself is absolutely amazing, I found that after using it, my foundation does last longer and my skin does look glowy!
I was shopping with Calarygirl and she told me this is the best bronzer for Asian skin. I don't really contour my face much so I decided to get one (Bubzbeauty actually paid for this for me, thank you so much!!). I do really like it, however I don't have too much experience with bronzing and I don't find myself using this as much. It does look really natural however.
I've heard good things about this but never tried it out either! I was at the airport and Bubzbeauty bought me one of these. I am seriously in love. It removes all my really tough waterproof mascaras so well! This is my HG makeup remover now, seriously have never used anything so good before!
Banila Co. The Great Love Jelly Cushion Highlighter
I don't use highlighters that much, but since I'm really into the glowy look lately I decided to get one! I do like this one a lot but it always gets stuck to the mirror which is a little annoying.
I rarely used primers before but when I was at the airport with Bubzbeauty, she told me one of the Korean youtubers swears by this product. We got this set because it was cheaper and shared it. I really do like this product, it is quite pricey but I feel my makeup does last a lot longer.
I've been using this product for a couple of years and love it. I apply it over my skincare just before I go to sleep. The next morning, wash it off and you have really smooth skin!
I LOVE Laneige BB Cushions. They are seriously so moisturizing (I have dry skin) and they look natural. I really hate BB creams that give you that white cast on your face and I find Laneige ones don't do that. The coverage is light-medium which is what I like.
Laneige BB Cushion New Concept Cushion for Whitening
I have never tried this one but it does provide whitening. I don't really use whitening products as much on my face anymore, but I can't wait to try this one out!
I saw this when I was in Japan and was so tempted to buy it, but at that time I had way too much skincare that I didn't. You can apparently carry this around and just apply on your face when it feels dry. Haven't tried it yet but the Etude House Moistful COllagen series is my absolute favourite for skincare.
Used this before and LOVE it. I LOVE the Etude House Moistfull Collagen Series like I said before. I felt that my skin has improved so much and is so much more glowy after using it!
I have been using this a lot lately and love it! The Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream was the first one I ever used back in the day (I think around 2008?) I hated it to be honest. Didn't like them and that just turned me off Korean makeup. However lately Korean makeup has been SO good that I am obsessed with them now. This Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion is amazing!! It has light coverage but I love how natural it looks. Using this with the Face Blur primer is heaven!!

My friend Calarygirl recommended me this mascara, and I went back to find one they gave me one in the welcome bag already!! :( haha. I gave one to my best friend so that worked out fine. I struggle to find a good Korean mascara. I find that Japanese ones are just so much more better quality that I think I have been spoilt a bit. This mascara is good, but compared to Japanese mascaras it is no where near as good.
I haven't used this yet but I did test it out in the Innisfree shop. I was going to get this when I went to Korea last time but I was being stingy (spent way too much money hahaha). Excuse the derpy face, I forgot to film a closeup and this was the best I could do haha.
Okay so, I have heard SO many good things about this. Apparently this is one of their best products so I can't wait to try it out!! I haven't used it yet but I tried out a sample size and REALLY liked it!
I used this straight away when I received it, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I love the Jeju Sparkling Mineral series so much. This is an essence but it is a mousse type which is really unique! It is very moisturizing and makes your skin very glowy!
Before I went to Korea, I asked my friend Bronwyn from Biibiibeauty to help me get one! I had a lot of scars and scabs on my face because I kept picking my pimples (I know, it's bad :( ) and I heard about this serum! I really wanted to try it out to get rid of my scars quickly. I have used this for a few weeks now and I do like it! My scars have faded and my skin does feel really good after using it!
I received this last time I went to Korea back in April and met with Bronwyn and Eunice from WishtrendTV! I really liked this, it's very natural and gives you glowing skin!
I was gifted this from a Korean Beauty Youtuber called Daddoa! She is SO BEAUTIFUL in person and her videos are all so well made! She gave me this when I went to her hotel room to talk to Bambigirl about our collaboration!
Here is the video for those who are interested in watching it!!
