Review ★ Innisfree Creammellow Lipstick in #6, #8, and #9

Hello everyone!

My reading week has sadly came to an end this week, however, I've finally gotten around to posting again! If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen the Innisfree Creammellow Lipsticks pictured in it (along with the Hera UV Mist Ultra Moisture Cushion which I will review at a later date)! These lipsticks were released as a part of their fall 2014 collection! I was planning to buy them earlier but I kind of got side tracked with other purchases.

I've been buying a lot of lip products lately, especially some darker colours because they're one of the major trends for this fall. I just couldn't pass up buying some of these lipsticks; oddly enough, I habitually purchase lipsticks in threes. I mostly bought into them for the berry colour, because I'm really loving dark lip trend this fall. I bought 6 - Plum Pink, 8 - Moistfull Dewy Red, and 9 - Blueberry Burgundy ^^, but there's 7 other colours available as well!

Review ★ Peripera Heart Glow Stick

Hello!!

Today I will be reviewing Peripera's Heart Glow Stick in Pink Beam, which is from their Heart Glow collection! I bought this on a whim during Jolse's 15% off event, and since highlighting and contouring has become a lot more popular lately. Although those methods of accentuating features have been commonly practiced, I feel as if it has become a lot more prominent over the course of the year- noticeably with all the contour palettes that have come out.

I don't own many highlighters, and eyeshadows can be used for emphasizing certain features such as the nose bridge or cupid's bow. However, eyeshadows can be a bit too pigmented for areas such as the cheekbones, forehead, or chin, whereas actual highlighters/concealers are more subtle. But yeah! Please continue reading if you're interested in this super cute product!

This product comes in two colours which are Pink Beam and Gold Aura. Pink Beam was created for cool tones, whereas Gold Aura is meant for warmer tones. Although I lean more towards a warmer tone, I don't think something that is too bronze works as a highlighter for me. Although I think it serves a better purpose for those with darker skin tones. Even though I think Gold Aura would work better strictly for those with dark skin tones for a more bronze, sun-kissed glow, I do believe that Pink Aura would look good on anyone. It really comes down to your preferences, and the look you're going for.

Review ★ Aritaum Honey Melting Tint // GIVEAWAY WINNER ANNOUNCED

Hello lovelies!

School started today, but I'll try to push out some reviews on requested products before it gets busy ^^~

I've been looking forward to reviewing the Aritaum Honey Melting Tints for the longest time, but I decided to hold off until I received my package from Jolse (which was a few weeks ago), since I ordered another 3 on top of the ones I purchased from Beautynetkorea. These lip tints have been all the rage, especially throughout this summer because of their trendy, vibrant colours!

I got a bunch of them because I'm a fiend when it comes to lip products, especially ones that are remotely similar to tinted lip balms c:.

There's a fair amount of colours available, but I got the following colours:
★ Peach Crumble
★ Strawberry Chips
★ Sugar Syrup
★ Pink Lemonade
★ Apple Tart
★ Lady Dessert

Pink Lemonade and Lady Dessert are from their summer collection, whereas the rest are from their normal collection. As usual, please continue under the cut for the rest of my review ^^!

July/August Haul #2 ★ Korean Skincare & Cosmetics, and Sephora!

Hello lovelies!
I didn't do the cosmetics/skincare part of my July haul because my Beautynetkorea stuff took longer than usual (well, I've never ordered from the website, but I ordered from their ebay [f2plus1] a lot). So I decided to wait it out a bit and just do a haul for the past 2 months~ I've started drafting some reviews for some of the products. But let me know if you'd like me to review something in particular!

Please note that all items were purchased by me, so I'm not sponsored by any of the ebay stores or online retailers aha. Some Sephora items were purchased with gift cards I received for my birthday in June. The boxes make it look like there's a lot more than there actually is, but I included it for those who are curious about the exterior packaging. Some items don't come with a box, or I tossed it.

So I sorted this by Korean items, and then Sephora items. Everything is listed left to right~

Haul ★ The Face Shop & Others

Hello everyone!

At the beginning of October, The Face Shop opened a store at Fairview Mall (there's also one at Markville Mall) in place of what used to be Fruits & Passion, so now I don't have to travel all the way to Pacific Mall for it. Although Pacific Mall still has Holika Holika, Tony Moly, and Missha. Anyways, The Face Shop was having an opening promotion, so I couldn't help myself~

The stuff is more expensive than e-bay (y'know, import duties, taxes, etc.) but it's good for the convenience. There isn't a great price difference when it comes to the cheaper items (eyebrow pencils, face creams, etc.), but there is for the the products from their skin care lines ($10-15 difference from e-bay sellers, not so much with online stores). I bought a few things because of their opening promotion, which was something like $5 off $15, $10 off $25, $15 off $35, which is pretty awesome! Some of the stuff was out of stock due to the amount of business they've gotten, and they don't sell some of the things that are found online. But they do sell gift sets in cute boxes, which makes a great gift for a parent, relative, or friend :D

Also throwing in some of the stuff I got in the past few months or so, to my post is lengthier~

The Face Shop items: Mild Papaya Peeling (gel?), Chia Seed 0% Oil moisturizer/cream, Face It Radiance Dual Veil concealer in nb23, Mango Butter lip care cream, Chia Seed toner samples (the two small boxes on the left), Crystal Water Super Gel and something else under the Crystal Water Super Gel samples(I legit do not know what they are because it's all in Korean D:, but it's part of one of their skin care lines).

Other stuff: The Face Shop volcanic clay nose strips, The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex magic pink powder mask, Mizon Snail Repair BB cream (SPF32, PA++), Holika Holika Face 2 Change CC cream (SPF32, PA++), Mizon Snail Recovery Gel (it came as a 2 for 1, so the other one is in the giveaway). All from f2plus1.

Tony Moly Egg Pore set: Black Out Oil Gel, Tightening Pack, Silky Smooth Balm. I purchased these from Jolse.

And on the more expensive end...

Chanel Vita Lumiere foundation. This is my current favourite foundation/face make-up 8D.

Yves Saint Laurent glossy stains in 105 (Coral Hold Up) and 14 (Fuchsia Dore). I really like the texture, feel, and lasting power of these stains. But the scent is off-putting because it smells like alcohol D:. 

Remember, I have a giveaway going on until November 1st (next Saturday)! I won't be making a banner because I don't have enough time, but you can just use it as a free entry if you want LOL. I won't check that particular one. I'll probably have another giveaway around the holiday season too ^^

Also, please let me know in the comments if you want a review on a certain item! I will have a review up soon ^^!
