Current makeup favorites


1)      Tony Moly Blush in Milky Violet
This year I’ve been into light pastel colored blushes and even mixing them with my neon pink shade blushes to give it a glowy youthful look.  I’ve tried milky pink shades but so far the ones with a purple tone look really nice on my skin.

2)      E.L.F Finishing Powder in Corrective Yellow
This is a great power to set your overall makeup look and it makes my skin look much brighter and smoother.  The best part is it’s so much cheaper than other brands out there.  It originally comes in a black packaging but I transfer the powder to a clear jar for two reasons, one so it can fit in my drawer and second so I can see the product. 

3)      Revlon Color Stay Whipped Creme Makeup
I’ve been obsessed with BB Cream that I completely ignored regular foundation and even sold a lot of them on my blog sale.  However to be honest BB Cream doesn’t give me enough coverage as a foundation would so I manage to go through my makeup stash and found my only foundation that I still kept and I’m glad I didn’t sold it!  Just like their Colorstay liquid foundation that I use to love this one applies real nicely on my skin and lasted for an entire day.  Maybe one day I’ll pick up the liquid foundation and use it again.

4)      Sonia Kashuk Sheer Liquid Tint in Poppy
I manage to purchase this item on sale at target for around $2.00 since they’re discontinued.  I really like the nice coral color look on my cheeks especially during the summer and it never faded or melt off my skin on days that were humid and hot.  For this product I only need a tiny bit for both my cheeks!

5)      Mac So Sweet,  So Easy Cream Blush
Another of one of my obsession for milky pink blushes, I like to use this cream blush as my base before I apply powder blushes. 
 

6)      Skinfood Salmon Concealer
I purchase this concealer on ebay for around $10.  It’s very creamy so a little goes a long way, it’s not heavy coverage but its buildable. 
 

1)      Etude House Cherry Fresh Tint in “Peach”
I wanted to get the Benefit Cha Cha tint since I’ve already enjoyed their Posie Tint but I didn’t want to spend a hefty $30 for another tint so I decided to try the Etude House as it was so much cheaper.  So far I really like the coral shade on my lips compare to pink shades. 

2)      The Body Shop Brow and Liner Kit in “Dark Brown/Black
I’m still a rookie when it comes to doing my eyebrows so I’m trying to find all the good brow products in the market.  So far this Body Shop brow duo is working well for me and matches my brow and hair color perfectly without looking too dark or light. 

3)      Missha The Style Perfect Eyebrow Styler in “Gray Brown”
Another good brow product I like but in a pencil form, this one is so much more convenient to apply in the morning when I’m in a rush.  The only dislike I have on this product is the lead part keeps sliding off the tube!

Haul: Korean Cosmetics and My Scheming Masks

My Scheming Masks 
I took a trip to Chinatown New York and got 3 boxes of face mask since they were really cheap that I only paid 3 for $19.99.  I was a little skeptical at first wondering if they're real or fake but after standing in the store and inspecting the box for a long time while the sales lady staring at me the whole time I can confirm that it's real lol.  They also had a lot of My Beauty Diary and other brands but I decided to get them next time.


The Face Shop
While in Chinatown I stop by The Face Shop and got two sleeping masks pact to try.  Last year I got their Aqua Drop Sleeping mask and I really enjoyed using it. 


Missha
Last month Misshaus.com had a friends and family sale going on so I ordered almost their whole Super Aqua Snail line and received plenty face mask as a free gift.  I read so many positive reviews on their Snail line so I wanted to give it a try.  So far I tried their Cell Renew Snail Cream and I absolutely love it!  If you're interested right now at Misshaus.com the snail line is on sale for 30% along with other products they offer, the sale ends 9/2
Super Aqua Snail Slime Set
Super Aqua Snail Slime BB Cream and Eyelash Curler


RoseRoseShop.com
I got MORE blushes added to my makeup collection as if I don't have enough!  Seriously I can't help it I love blushes!  2 from Tony Moly, 3 The Face Shop and 1 Skinfood.  I also got all 4 shades of the Etude House Kissful Tint Chou lip stain.

If you're interested in a review on any of these items or swatches let me know!   Eventually I will review them once I get to play with them long enough. 

Thank you for reading and sticking around, sorry for the lack of posts, I will try to make more blog post >.<

Review: The Body Shop Shimmer Waves


Left: Bronze, Right: Blush

Left: Bronze, Right: Blush

Where to buy?: The Body Shop stores or website
Price: $22.00

What The Body Shop says:
Pearl pigments provide shimmer and sparkle, helping to disguise fine lines around the eye area. Ultra-fine talc is a high-performance powder that enables smooth and even application. Community Trade marula oil from Namibia helps to repair skin’s moisture barrier.

My Review:
I purchase the shade blush first and after trying it for weeks and fell in love with it I decided to purchase bronze. Like most powders that have these multicolor strips (Milani's Glimmer Stripes, Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Bricks etc) they're multipurpose, they can be used as a bronzer, blush, highlighter or eyeshadows. They're very blendable and not glittery but it gives a beautiful sheen.



"Bronze" is a great bronzer if you want that nice summer warm glow and they also make a awesome eyeshadow for everyday looks.



"Blush" makes a good highligther on the cheekbones or brow bone.

Although compare to the Milani Glimmer Stripes (Review) I still like the Milani one much better, its cheaper, their texture is much softer and have more shade selections. Otherwise these are not too bad, I recommend the shade "Bronze" if you're interested because it suits every skin tones.

Would I buy this again?: no
Rating: 4/5
