Review: 3 Concept Eyes Creamy Lip Color in Giddy Up

Hello! Today's review is featuring the 3 Concept Eyes Creamy Lip Color in Giddy Up which can be purchased here. Now, this is one of the lipstick line in their range.They have 3 lines of lipsticks altogether.  I recommend this line more than the original and you guys will learn why soon enough!

The color name is located on one side of the box.

Here is the box and lipstick side by side.

I honestly love how sleek the packaging looks. It sort of reminds me of MAC's Sheen Supreme line of lipsticks. I know I keep comparing 3CE with MAC products-- but honestly you can't deny the similarity.

As mentioned earlier, the shade of this color is #16 Giddy Up. It's a bright hot pink color with red undertones. This color is a perfect pick me up type of shade. When you feel like your complexion is somewhat dull, this will definitely make you look much more lively.

Here is a swatch of the lipstick; But honestly this picture does not do the color justice.  I know in the picture it looks matte but it's more of a glossy finish. (I will try to update with better swatches soon!)

Now earlier I said I will explain to you why I love this lipstick so much, well here goes.

1. Packaging. Super sleek.
2. Highly pigmented.
3. A true creamy lipstick.
4. Glossy finish.
5. Long lasting.
6. Leaves a stain behind.
7. Beautiful color (plus many shades in their line).
8. No scent.

I truly cannot find fault or anything I dislike about this product. I am super excited to try out other shades! 

Thank you so much for reading and I will see you all soon.

Review: Etude House My Castle Hand Cream Set

Hello! I'm back with another review for the Etude House fans ;) If you guys are watching My Lovable Girl, you probably have seen this item in some of the episodes. Dundundun, it is the My Castle Hand Cream(s)!
This is probably one of the most adorable hand creams I've ever seen-- they are in a castle form! You can buy the hand creams separately or in a set, if you wish.
Today I'll be reviewing the set which includes all 4 of the scents. And to be honest, the set packaging is just so cute. It also reminds me of Manhattan Bagel box LOL.

Here are 4 of the scents. Starting from left to right: Sweet Cookie, Pink Wish, Forever Rose, Ice Frozen.

This is Sweet Cookie, which is my least favorite scent out of the bunch. It smells like coconut to me and you guess it, I'm not a fan of coconut. I don't know if it's just me or what but it doesn't resemble anything like cookies to me.

This is Pink Wish which is my 2nd favorite. This scent is just so girly and sweet. Definitely fits the pink packaging.

This is Forever Rose. I don't mind this scent-- meaning I don't like it but I don't hate it either. Sort of reminds me of beachy/sand scents.

This is Ice Frozen, my favorite scent! It's a more cooler version of Pink Wish in my opinion. It's girly but more of an edge to it--HAHA I'm so weird at describing scents. I really wish Etude House would come out with a perfume in this exact scent, I would definitely buy it. That's how much I'm in love with it.

PROS ABOUT THE MY CASTLE HAND CREAM SET:

-Great holiday gift

-Can divide the hand creams to individual gifts

-Makes great decoration due to the cute packaging

-Cheaper when bought in the set

-You now have an item from a Korean drama (YAY for drama props)

-Scents are appealing to different groups

Alright. That is it for my review today guys. Hope you enjoyed!

Unboxing Review: Memebox Special #26 Hand & Nail Care

Hello guys, I have a Memebox unboxing type of post for you guys today! If you guys don't know (which I doubt), Memebox is a Korean beauty box program. But here's the catch-- it is not a subscription service. You pay for whatever box you're interested in ;) Boxes vary depending if it's a regular box or special or super box. 

Anyways. Today's box is the Special #26 Hand & Nail Care. 

When you open the box, you can see that there's a card which lists all the products included in the box as well as their respective description/instructions/price. That's what I like about Memebox, if you're unaware of what the product is or what it's used for-- you don't have to hop on google and start searching. Everything's there for you.

So the first item I have here is the Pure Plus Hydrogel Moisturizing Nail Patch which retails for $8. Holy crap guys, I did not know there's a mask type product for our own nails. I'm very excited to try this out because I always paint my nails-- it's good to let it have some treatment.

On the card it says, "Enriched with collagen, milk, pearl, powder, gold, and paraffin, this hydrogel type nail patch delivers intense moisture and nutrition deep into your nails within just 20 minutes of application, for a visible improvement in your nail condition." 

Next product I have here is Pure Skin Hand Care Pack which retails for $4. Apparently this is basically a glove which you can wear while you're doing anything! 

On the card it says, "The grape extracts, witch hazel, grapefruit extracts, collagen, baobab tree extracts, and olive leaf extracts included in the Hand Care Pack not only work to deeply moisturize and nourish your roughened hands but also to remove any excess skin and firm up signs of aging on your hands."

Next product is the Barbinie Shea Butter Hand Cream which retails for $18. I've never seen such a beautiful looking hand cream before guys *O* It is so gorgeous. The packaging, my heart. AH.

The card says, "Enriched with abundant shea butter and aloe vera extracts, this Shea Butter Hand Cream delivers deep nourishment and moisture relief and helps maintain moist, supple hands."

Next product is the Shara Shara Soft Hand Gommage which retails for $6. I think I'm moist excited about this product to be honest. It is a peeling gel for hands.

The card says, "This a gentle, moisturizing peeling gel for dry, callused hands. The Gommage works to remove any hardened calluses and skin impurities, leaving your hands soft and silky smooth."

Next up is the Sur 3D Nail Art Kit which retails for $29. I'm very picky with my nail polish colors and I typically don't like the colors I get from subscription boxes. So not really excited about this kit.

The card says, "Create gorgeous nail art in minutes with this revolutionary polish that uses a nail art pen to create an amazing nail art design."

Next is this With Shan Dr. Care which retails for $13.

I'm happy to get this in my box! My nails tend to break off, ugh. So hopefully this will help!

The card reads, "This Dr. Care set is an emergency kit for your split, broken nails. Dr. 001 strengthens from the roots of your nails and works to protect them from further damage."

                         Next product is the With Shan Baby Hand Set which retails for $9.
The card reads, "Infused with lemon juice and vitamin E, the treatment oil is gentle on the skin and helps nourish and soften the roughened calluses and cuticles on your nails. The nail wall file then works to gently file away the softened calluses and cuticles, making your hands moist and soft like a real baby."

Here's the nail file that's included in the set.

The cost of this box is $23 + shipping costs and the total value is $87. Holy crap. Now that is a deal. Be sure to check out Memebox!

Review: Etude House Dear My Wish Lipstick (BE101 + PK003)

Hello guys! I have a very exciting review for you all today. This post will be featuring the new Etude House's lipsticks called Dear My Wish. This is supposed to be an upgraded version of their lipstick line. And I have to say, I am super impressed!

So let's start talking about these lipsticks! Here's the packaging, as usual Etude House packaging is very cute.

Another side of the packaging box.

On the side of the box, there is a description of the lipstick as well as instructions-- though it is pretty self explanatory what to do with a lipstick, right guys?

"This rich color, rich nutrition, and rich moisture lipstick comes with a new texture that melts smoothly onto lips and delivers vivid color with just one touch."

One other side shows the ingredients of the lipstick.

Here is what the actual lipstick tube looks like! I'm so happy they changed the packaging on this because, while the old packaging is cute, it is somewhat on the short and stubby side of the spectrum. However this time, the lipstick packaging is longer and slimmer. YAY -- it lost weight LOL. And they changed the bow to be in the middle.

And of course, the thing I love about this lipstick line is that it is so creamy and smooth. You literally only need a little bit and your lips will be full of color. Also, it has a shiny glossy finish so you don't need to layer a gloss on top. I can't explain how much I love how it just glides on the lips. I'M IN LOVE.

When the lipstick is new, you can see this a circle in the middle of the lipstick. 

However, as you keep using it, the circle begins to slowly disappear.

Though the lipstick formula is amazing, the thing that can be a negative is due to its creaminess and smoothness, it makes a mess in the tube. Lipstick is smeared all over :/ 

The first color we will talk about is BE101. Which in my opinion is a muted, neutral soft coral. If that even makes sense at all LOL. By the way guys, swatches are with only one swipe--talk about intense pigmentation!

 I find this color to be easier to apply on comparing to the other shade I have. Probably because it's lighter and it's hard to mess up when applying on a light color.  I recommend you guys to use this color when you're wearing a heavy smokey eye so your face will be well balanced, because this color won't be a distraction. Or, on school days or something because it's so subtle but it does give you color.

Next color is PK003, which is a bright fuchsia color. Sorry for the terrible swatches on my arm and lips guys =__= It looked okay when I took the photo..

Anyways, you guys have to be careful when applying this color because as you can see, it's easy to go out of lines with a dark color. This color is great for anyone that wants to look awake and alert. It's so bright it literally wakes you up hehe.

As I am typing this, I'm looking at websites to buy other shades in this Dear My Wish line. This is probably my favorite lip product from Etude House guys. I 100000000% recommend.

Btw, Etude House finally has an online shop! YAY *throws confetti* Please visit;

As always, I am proud to be an Etude House Pink Bird.

Review: Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint OR202 Cherry Coral

Hi everyone! Today's review is featuring Etude House's limited edition Fresh Cherry Tint in the shade OR202 Cherry Coral which can be purchased here. As you may know, one of the most popular product in Etude House is their Fresh Cherry Tints. To celebrate their 5th year anniversary of the product, Etude House has came out with two limited edition shades. This coral color and a lavender  color. If you've been following me for a while now, you may have noticed I have a soft spot for corals so of course I chose the coral one.

One side of the box is in English (thank god) which is a description of the product as well as its ingredients. 

Here is what the lip tint looks like. Super cute bottle :)

Etude House always has the expiration on the bottom/(or back depending).

Here is what the applicator looks like. Pretty fuzzy looking to be honest.

Here's a swatch of the tint, really creamy as you can see.

Here's the tint slightly blended.

Here's what the tint looks like applied on my lips.

If you guys are familiar with Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint products, you'd know that they are pretty natural looking however it's not to the point where you can't see any color applied. This concept goes with this shade as well. I was hoping the pigmentation might be a little bit darker however, the formula is still the same. If you guys are into a lip color that isn't too noticeable, but gives a subtle hint of shade, this will be perfect for you.

Color: 5/5

Pigmentation: 4/5

Comfort: 5/5 -- Seriously feels like nothing is on my lips!

Wear Time: 4/5

Thanks for reading~

Review: Etude House Princess Happy Ending Collection

So Etude House recently launched their Princess Happy Ending Collection featuring Disney's Princesses: Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle, and Snow White. The collection consists of lipsticks, cream shadows, blushes, and nail polishes. Note: The BB Cream and mascara in this collection is a part of their original line, just repackaged be a part of this collection. 

So I have 4 items from this collection to share with you guys today. Hope you will enjoy my reading my thoughts as always.

So one of the many things that I found to be super cute packaging wise is the fact that you can display them to look like little books!

Kudos to Etude House for always coming out of new ways to amp up the packaging.

I'm going to first start talking about the Cinderella section of the collection.  So for Cinderella, there were a total of 3 cream eyeshadows and 1 nail polish set. 

I have mine in the color #1 Pink Glass Heels, which is a rusty pink.

The description of this product says, "This is a glitter shadow that glides magically onto skin and comes with a fantastic shimmer." 

On every side of this collection's products, there is a quote from the Princesses! For Cinderella, the quote is "If you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true." 

Here's what the color looks like. It's actually a baked cream eyeshadow-- which is different from what we are used to. Like we all have seen baked face products like blushers, but for a CREAM shadow? Very unique.

I was pleasantly surprised by the pigmentation of this product. It was very smooth to the touch and applied on very nicely. You can wear this shadow alone or use it as a base for powder eyeshadows. Really up to you.

Next up is Jasmine's part. For her, there was the mascara and nail polish set. 

I feel like the colors really do match up to Jasmine, it's a blue and gold.

Like I've mentioned, each of the side has a quote related or from the Princesses. This one says, "I'm like a shooting star."

Closer look at the nail polish packaging-- look at the magic lamp and crochet! 

If you guys have noticed, all of Etude House's nail polish sets come with a nail sticker sheet. Likewise, this one has stickers as well! 

Next up is Snow White's part. For her, there were BB Cream, lipsticks, and nail polish set.

Her quote is "Everything's going to be alright."

Description of the lipstick, "This is a moist lipstick that comes with clear color and rich moisture."

I wish instead of clear, they used the term opaque because it sounds like there's going to be zero color payoff LOL.

As we all know, Snow White's lips are red to match with her white as snow skin. So obviously her lipstick is going to be red.

Happy to say this lipstick is really pigmented and creamy! One swipe is all you need.

And last but not least, we have Belle. For her, there was 2 blushes, 1 lipstick, and a nail polish set.

The color I have is #1 Pink Shine Rose.

The product's description is, "This is a  rose colored blusher that resembles a rose in full bloom on both cheeks."

Her quote is, "I want so much more than they've got planned."

There is a rose imprint on the blush. So pretty!

This product is my least favorite from this collection. When swatched, it took like a good three times for the color to show up on my arm. And on my face, the color hardly showed. Like literally...So thumbs down on this one.

But over all, I was really excited for this collection to launch and I mostly enjoyed all the products. I'm thinking about picking up the Belle lipstick and the other Cinderella cream eyeshadows. Those has to be my favorite from the collection :)

Thanks for reading guys and have a lovely weekend.
