Review ★ Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Lasting Lipstick

Hi!

I was actually going to post this before the holidays, but opted for posting other posts instead LOL. Although the berry/red lip was a staple for the holiday period, it can still be worn anytime. The plums and berry trend is great for that edgy, yet feminine touch. 

I was on the fence about buying this because darker colours are more high maintenance than lighter colours. It feels like a lot more effort to get the perfect shape, whereas lighter colours are a lot more forgiving. But I went for it anyways, and I definitely don't regret it! I actually even bought the 4 mini set with 3 other colours because I didn't really want to buy the full-sized versions of the other ones LOL. I probably could have returned this, since this one is in the mini set; but I feel bad returning used makeup :c. 


For organizational purposes, I'll only be reviewing Melted Berry. If you would like swatches of the other ones, please feel free to comment with a request for them ^^!

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~

Review ★ Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner

Hello everyone!

I decided to pick up the They're Real eyeliner yesterday at Sephora, since it was its official release date. I've watched a bunch of youtube videos about this eyeliner, and it seemed pretty good from what I could tell. However, there seems to be really mixed reviews about it. I didn't get to try it out in the store, since everyone was scrambling around and the tester was often not in its spot. It was really crowded, and there was a lot of Benefit(?) associates advertising the product, and doing people's makeup. But yeah, Sephora has a really great exchange/return policy, so there really isn't any harm in just purchasing it; although, don't get me wrong, I feel bad when I return things there LOL.


So is it worth the hype? Read more to find out!
