REVIEW: Missha (not cruelty free) Watery BB Cream [3.5/5]

photos coming soon...

REVIEW:

Color: A dark dark beige that blends right into fair skin...dewy, no shimmer

Texture: light, smooth

Coverage:very good...but not as good as Lioele Beyond The Solution...

Lastability: Pretty well. Did not have to reapply all day...
Scent: neutral kind of "cosmetic chemicals" smell. I don't like it but it fades.

Effect:A matte look
Other: SPF 27

Packaging: Tube same design as box - iridescent white with green spots, iridescent silver logo

Price: $12 shipped - ^_^

Overall: great coverage, very portable, gorgeous tube. But Lioele BTS is still better and until I find one better than that...

REVIEW: *Missha The Style Defining Lip Liner [3.5 stars]

The Style Defining Lip Liner
Transparent lip liner to keep your lip makeup clear without bleeding!!

(1) Keep your lip makeup clear- It outlines lip contour by gliding on easily without feathering and bleeding. It keeps your lip makeup all day long without double applications. (2) Natural lip contour with transparent color reveals- It makes your lip contour clear and natural by filling fine lines on the lips up instead of color reveals of common lip liner.

This only comes in one color: neutral. As much as I like Missha, I'm not crazy about The Style line...it's not as pretty packaging-wise. This is the one exception because it's already pink instead of the plain shiny black.

Brand: Missha

Make-up Type: Lip Liner

Lip liner Type: twist up

Origin: Korea

Tested on Animals: NO

REVIEW: Missha The Style Defining Lip Liner

Packaging: No box - the product is a pretty neutral pink -very pretty!

Scent/taste: N/A

Color: Neutral (only comes in one color)

Texture: smooth

Ease of Use: draw on

Effect: Really does prevent bleeding lines, goes on smoothly, color blends easily

Overall Summary: I really like it and would be very likely to get it again. A little frusterating that it can't be bought locally but has to be ordered online

REVIEW: The Face Shop @ Walgreens! (USA) Pearl Essential Face Mask

Review: The Face Shop Pearl Essential Mask Sheet


The Face Shop is a Korean make-up/skincare company that makes natural products.
They support nature and DO NOT test on animals! YAY!
There are US locations in NY and California, as well as Canadian locations. Ironically, Korean products can be found in those cities anyways in Korean/Asian shops.
Anyways, they partnered with Walgreens nation-wide to sell their "most popular" facial masks- 10 in total.
I have only been able to find Pearl, Collagen, Ceramide, Lemon, Pomegranate so far, which means I'm missing 5...



Description: Pearl is a rare,precious stone rich in calcium which helps illuminate,clarify, and hydrate lackluster skin...For clearer skin...

Packaging: pretty basic, easy open. "pearl text" is silver
Mask texture: Soft/ wet
Mask Scent: Hard to describe, but it's an amazing clean smell that I LOVE! It's strong but relaxing... + 5 stars
Ease of Use: Open, put on, wait 15-20 minutes, remove, then pat face. (Very easy! )
Mask Fit: These seem very big to me - they hang off my face a little which makes them slide and pull a little... -2 stars
Effects: Smooth skin, no breakouts! Moisturizing...
Summary: Not a huge difference skin-wise BUT I already have soft skin ...I loved the scent and the moisturizing was nice. Would get again - mostly for the scent!
In fact, I have saved the package and hung it up like a little air freshener...I'd put up the mask too, but it would be a little creepy...

*Note* This is my second face mask - the first was Missha Acerola and it burned and made me break-out. I'd say this one was a success. ^_^

I've been hunting this thing down for YEARS now -ever since I first tried a mini sample pack at my local Outpost store. Of course, the packs were there and then gone the next time. >_< The reason I didn't buy the full size then was that it was $25 for a tiny 32 mL bottle @_@.
Alas, this month I randomly found 2 boxes (just 2, believe me I looked hard!)at TJ Maxx for the amazing price of $9.99!
Here's what it claims to do...
*Helps even out skin tone
*Helps diminish problem spots and discolorations caused by environmental exposure
*Softens appearance of age spots
*Brings out skin's natural radience

On to the review...

Packaging: (pictured above)The box is pretty enough that I'm keeping it. ^_^
The actual bottle itself is made of cool frosty glass, and the cap is almost as tall as the actual bottle - therefore leading one to believe that there is more in there than actually is. it is a pump bottle.

Scent: 5 out of 5 stars. It's an intoxicating lemon scent, not to strong, and not too sweet. This is the reason I stalked this product for so long...The scent lingers and reminds me a little of lemon Fruity Pebbles...The box says it's a mix of lemon & Japanese Mandarin.

Texture: Smooth, not oily. Blends right into your skin

Effectiveness: It really does brighten, although i haven't tested for how long.

Overall? I love this and I would buy it again at said discounted price although I wish it came with more or they made another size...
