Review: Peripera Ink Airy Stick in #8 Warmy Red

Hi guys! Today’s review is going to be about Peripera’s lipstick. The product is called Ink Airy Stick and I got mine in number 8 Warmy Red.

Here is how the product came in. They have this plastic packaging as their secondary packaging. It looks really cute but simple at the same time.

There are some information on the product.
Here is how the actual product looks like. It comes in with a matte and the color of the lipstick is very similar to the lipstick bullet. I really love this packaging. It looks really sleek and elegant, but still cute at the same time.

This is how the actual product looks like. See how similar the bullet is with the packaging? I was quite amazed myself.

I really love the packaging on this, it closes with a click and ensure the safety of the product inside your bags.

Here is how it swatches on the hand. I got this color because it looked really unique on the promo pics, and it definitely is. I don’t have other colors like this in my collection.

The product itself swatches really smooth, but it is quite drying and if you apply only a little, it doesn’t feel like anything but can be quite drying at the same time.

Here is how the product looks by itself on my lips. My natural lip color is quite dark, but the lipstick definitely covered up the dark parts of my lips, although it doesn’t look even.
The longer you apply the product, the more it doesn’t feel like anything.
Like usual lipsticks, it doesn’t wear that long but it definitely stains the lips.

I don’t really like how it looks like on its own. I think with my lip color, I always need to put on a lip tint underneath to mask the dark color of my lips.
Below is a swatch of the product, combined with my Etude House Dear Darling Tint in #RD305. That lip tint has been a holy grail lip tint for me, it looks really natural on me and goes well with a lot of other products.

For me, it looks much better combined with my Etude House Dear Darling lip tint, and it also adds up the longevity of course. 

The color is red with a hint of orange in it. It is more red than orange. I love this combination, but I also like to apply just a little bit to give my lips a hint of color during days where I don’t feel like wearing any make up.

To summarize, here are the pros and cons of the product:

Pros

• Beautiful packaging
• Beautiful color
• Looks matte
• Stains the lips, wearability is acceptable considering this is a lipstick

Cons

• Can be quite drying

Rate: 4/5

If the lipstick is not as drying, I would have rated it a 5 out of 5!

Will I repurchase? Hm, I don’t think so.

While I really want to try out their other colors, I think Peripera has since come out with other products and I would like to try them out, definitely the ones that are not as drying as this formula.

But overall, it’s a really nice product and feels nice to hold onto.

Hope this review helped! Thanks for reading.

Review: Peripera Ink Matte Blur Tint #10 True Brick Red

Hi guys! I'm actually really excited for today's review, because it's been a long time since I bought other lip products. Today's review is going to be a product from Peripera. It's the Peripera Ink Matte Blur Tint in number 10 True Red Brick.

I got the darkest color from the bunch to test out my skin tone first. Here is the picture of the actual product.

It comes in a triangular plastic packaging. I think the packaging is really cute yet very straightforward, something that I haven't seen in a while.

I do notice that the plastic packaging is really hard and suddenly just got reminded of my zero waste campus life and felt bad for throwing away the secondary packaging. Haha.

There's also a lot of information at the back of the packaging, some written in Korean, some written in English. The list of ingredients can't be found, though.

The actual product is really cute. It comes in a matte tube and see-through packaging, making the actual product color speak for itself.

The applicator is a doe foot applicator, which is suitable for this creamy type of lip product. Another thing to notice is the rubber stopper. I really like the rubber stopper of this product.

It may be hard to take out the applicator as the rubber stopper is really tight, but it makes product distributed more evenly.

Since the applicator is flat, the rubber stopper makes sure that the product is only distributed at the centre of the doe foot applicator, with none on the sides. I found this really convenient, as we don't need to wipe off excess product on the rim of the tube.

And one more thing - this product smells like chocolate!

Here is the swatch of the product. I find this product to be really buildable. The swatch on my hand is only a few swipes.

The product itself glides on really smoothly, and 'blurs' out prettily, without any patchy-ness. The color itself is a dark warm brown orange color, that is really pretty. It builds up to a dark red orange color as we apply more layers.

For the lasting power, unfortunately it doesn't last that long. This is like a lip cream that blurs out the fine lines on my lips. It doesn't really stain the lips and you would have to reapply after eating. It does feel thick and like you're wearing something on the lips.

Here is the swatch on my lips. The left picture is my original lip color, which is purple and pale. I put on some concealer on the outlines of my lips.

The middle picture is with minimum layers, just enough to cover the uneven color of my lips. Applied thinly, it gives a fresh red orange color on the lips.

Applied thickly, it gives a dark red orange color that pops out my complexion.

Here are full face pictures of me with the product on.

applied thinly

applied thickly

Okay, so here are the cons and pros of the product

Pros

• pretty colour!
• really pigmented
• good for gradient lips and mixed with other colours
• yummy chocolate scent (some people may dislike)
• cute but straightforward packaging
• great rubber stopper and applicator

Cons

• doesn't really last that long (can just reapply though)

Overall: 4/5. 

Will I repurchase? Yes! I can overlook the fact that this product doesn't last that long on the lips. I really like this product and am looking forward to try out more colours from this line.

Thanks for reading my review! Let me know what you guys think of this product and I really hope to see more colours on other skin tones, you can easily link your post in the comments down below and I would love to visit your page!

Good luck and see you guys on next posts!

Review: Beauty Creations Tease Me Eyeshadow Palette

Hi guys! I have another eyeshadow palette review for you guys today. It's from the brand Beauty Creations with their Tease Me eyeshadow palette.

I actually have never heard of the brand before, so I looked the brand online and found out that it is a US brand. I bought this palette for IDR 95.000, which was originally IDR 135.0000. In the official website, this palette is sold at $14.95 each, but they also offer wholesale, so I guess that's where the price gets cut off.

Anyways, onto the products. It comes in a slide-off carton as secondary packaging. The design is exactly the same, so I didn't take picture of the carton and palette in comparison.

Below is the inside palette. There is a medium sized mirror, which I'm not mad at. Looking at the carton packaging, I am already thankful that they included a mirror in this palette.

Here are the colors of the palette. As you can see, the colors are on the pink and brown tones, which are wearable for daily, but not as boring as neutrals only palette. There is a mixture of mattes, metallics, and shimmers on this palette. Some shadows are similar to each other, though.

Let's now move on to swatches.

From top to bottom:

- Lies: matte cream shade
This is a shade that barely shows up on my skin. I think it's because it's close to my skin tone. I rarely use this shade and this shade is probably my least favorite.
- Blissfull: matte medium brown shade
I like to put this shade all over the lids for depth on a daily basis. I think this shade shows up quite well on the skin.
- Pleasure: matte medium warm brown shade
This shade is similar to blissfull, but warmer. I also use this all over the lid for nice and natural depth.
- Kiss me: shimmery champagne shade
This shade is similar with Classy, but more shimmery and less metallic. This shade is similar to my skin tone.
- Innocent: dark matte warm brown shade
This shade is similar with Charming, but it's the warm version. It's quite nice to pair with the lighter matte shades to add more depth.
- Fire: dark burgundy shimmery shade
This shade is simjilar with Tempting and Please me, but this shade is more toned down and less metallic. The shimmers are barely visible. Overall it's a nice shade.

Overall, the first row of the palette contains more of the daily shades. You can definitely make a daily natural look out of the first row alone. For me, I like to use the medium brown shades all over the lids.

Onto the second row:

- Sexy: medium champagne metallic brown shade
I like this shade. It goes on really smooth and pigmented (all of the metallic shades do). It's a pretty pop of metallic on the lids.
- Orgasm: light brownish pink matte shade
This shade is a nice transition shade when you use the pinker shades in the palette. It barely shows up on my skin, though.
- Tempting: metallic dark pink shade
This shade is really pretty! It's really similar with Please me, but comparing them side to side, this shade looks pinker and slightly lighter than Please me.
- Charming: dark cool brown shade
As I said before, this shade is similr with Innocent, only the cool version. This shade is the darkest shade in the palette.
- Nudes: light warm brown shade
This shade is pretty to be combined with Pleasure. It is light and barely shows up on the arm, but shows up on my eyelid.
- Seduce me: light mustard warm brown shade
This shade is similar with Nudes, but has a mustard tone in it. I like to combine this shade with Blissfull. It barely shows up on the swatch, though.

This second row has a variety of colors and some pretty metallics.

Onto the third row:



- Please me: metallic dark pink shade
This shade is also really pretty, a browner version of Tempting. But these two colors actually look really similar.
- Peaches: warm brownish pink shade
This shade is similar with Pleasure, but a lot pinker.
- Classy: metallic champagne shade
This is actually the prettiest shade in the palette. It is really creamy and shows up really well with fingers.
- Dare me: metallic copper brown shade
This shade is also really pretty! It is a nice pop of color, and really creamy and shows up really well.
- Lust: chunky metallic light champagne shade
The first time I saw this palette, I was drawn to this shade. Unfortunately, it doesn't perform really well. It is a beautiful shade, but really chalky and chunky, thus difficult to apply evenly.
- Desire: satin dark brown shade
This shade is really similar with Innocent and Charming, but with small shimmers and satin. It doesn't really show up on the skin though.

Overall, this row contains really pretty pop of colors and metallics for the centre of the lids.

I tried to make an eye look from this palette. Here is what I came up with.

I used quite a few shades, from the lightest: Classy, Dare me, Blissfull + Pleasure, Charming. The look turns out quite well, but I wouldn't wear this kind of look daily.

Overall, there are some pros and cons of this palette. I thought I would just summarize them for you guys.

Pros

• cheap (I bought it for IDR 95,000 from Shopee)
• metallics are really pigmented and creamy
• lasts quite a long time
• can use this palette alone to create an eye look

Cons

• mattes are smooth but not really pigmented
• many similar colors (a huge con for me): Blissfull, Pleasure, Peaches are similar, Orgasm, Nudes, Seduce me are similar, Innocent, Charming, Desire are similar, Fire, Tempting, Please me are similar. Those make up to 3 individual shades and 8 shades that could have been made completely different!

Overall: 3/5

It's a meh palette for me, the metallics are pretty, but the mattes don't make up for the rest of the palette. They're mattes that could be used daily, but I have smaller travel eyeshadow trios from Mizzu and Wardah that could deliver the same thing.

Review: Etude House Dear Darling Water Gel Tint #RD305 Jujube Red

Hi guys! Today I have a lip tint review for you guys.

This is a lip tint that I have been wearing for quite a long time. It's actually my second bottle. I also have the comparison of the old and new version.

Here is the comparison between the two.

I believe they changed the packaging because the old version had some leakage issues. It's true, though. Mine has some of the product leaking out.

The new version is less prettier, but much sturdier. So far, there has been no leakage issues for the newer one. The newer one also has a taller bottle.
However, I have a problem with the newer version. I like the applicator on the old version more, because it distributes less product. I don't know if it's because there's less product in the bottle, or because of the rubber stopper. I'm guessing it's because of the rubber stopper that doesn't take out the product evenly.

If you guys don't know what rubber stopper is, in every liquid type of packagings like liquid lip products, mascara, etc, there's something between the mouth of the product and the liquid container that is V-shaped. This stopper makes sure the right amount of product is dispensed.
I always feel the rubber stopper doing its job on the old version, but not as much with the new version, so that's why I think it's a problem of the rubber stopper.

Thank God that the colours of the old and new version are still the same. The new version is a little bit thinner and more liquidy.

Here is the swatch of the product on my lips.

I really, really love this color. It looks deep maroon in the redder side. The consistency is a little bit milky. When applied with one thin swipe, it colors my lips naturally. This colour is the best colour of lip tint that I've come across so far, for my skin tone and lip color. Since my lips are on the darker side, I tend to look for lip tints with darker colour. I like that I can adjust the boldness of the lip tint.
For daily use, I usually apply one thin swipe, but for going out, I usually apply a little bit thicker for bolder look.

Although I like the applicator better on the old version, I like the formula of the new version better. It dries quicker unlike the old version, and less oily on the lips, which is of course more comfortable to be applied. I would say that the lasting power is a bit longer too, but not by much. Like every lipstick that I've tried before, it always disappear when I eat. There would be remains of the lip tint at the end of the day, just not as visible to the eyes.
I bought this lip tint for only about IDR 40.000, which is really cheap for the colour and formula that we're getting.

So, here are the pros and cons of this product (based on the new version)

Pros

• LOVE the colour
• good lasting power
• comfortable on the lips
• better packaging

Cons

• too much product on the applicator

Rate: 5/5
Will I repurchase? Of course! This is my second bottle, and I would gladly buy another one after this one runs out.
Here's a little selfie to show you guys how natural the colour looks on my lips. Once again, I really love this color!

Hope you guys find this review helpful! Leave comments down below to share your thoughts on this products.

Review : Maybelline The Rock Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

Hi guys! Today I have an eyeshadow palette review for you guys. I got this as a birthday gift from my friend the other day. It is the Maybelline The Nudes eyeshadow palette.

I'm pretty sure that this palette looks familiar to you guys since it's been out for quite a while.

The packaging comes in a plastic case. On the back of the packaging, there are some instructions, barcode, ingredient list and other miscellaneous things.

The palette is sealed on the opening. The lid opens with a click sound and there is a clear part of the packaging that shows the colours that you're getting.

I find that the packaging is nice for travel and doesn't feel cheap nor expensive.

As you can see, I had to crop the brush part because I forgot to include it in the photo and was too lazy to set up the entire photobox thing just to shoot the brush, so I apologize for that.

The brush is nice quality. One of the end is a sponge tip, which is nice to pack pigmentation on the lid, while the other one is a normal eye brush, which is nice to blend the shadows. I usually don't use the brushes that you get in palettes, but this brush is actually usable and nice quality.

Swatches

finger swatch

Description of each shadows from the finger swatch :

Number 1 : white chalky glitter

Number 2 : light glittery taupe

Number 3 : looks exactly like my skin, so it doesn't show up well

Number 4 : copper bronze with tiny gold glitters in it

Number 5 : light matte taupe, but darker than shade number 2

Number 6 : dark grey brown that I always use to fill in my brows

Number 7 : light brown with tiny gold glitters

Number 8 : dark matte taupe

Number 9 : yellow gold with gold glitters

Number 10 : dark brown with tiny glitters. this shade looks like the glittery version of shade number 8

Number 11 : light champagne

Number 12 : matte black

brush swatch

I swatched the shadows in two different ways, one is finger swatch and the other one is brush swatch (with the brush that comes with the palette).
There are obviously some differences with some of the shadows, but some of the shadows swatch the same with fingers or brushes. So, I would say that there are no big differences.

This is the look that I created using the palette. I feel like this palette is quite challenging to work with. I think the reason why I like to use the grey brown shade to fill in my brows is because the shade isn't that pigmented, so my brows always look natural when I fill them in.
On the eyes, the shades don't really show up that well. This palette may only be suitable for those who like natural makeup, hence the name of the palette, 'The Nudes'.
The lasting power is so-so. My eyelids are quite oily,  so after some time eyeshadows are bound to get mixed with my sebum and sweat and just disappear. I'm not really bothered, since every eyeshadow that I've put on, always disappear on the double eyelid line of my eyes.

So, here are the pros and cons of the palette

Pros

• great packaging for travel
• great shade to fill in the brows
• quite affordable (around IDR 135,000)

Cons

• not that pigmented (esp the black)
• no mirror
• lasting power is so-so

Rate 3/5

I rate it 3 out of 5 because I still reach out for this for my brows. Otherwise, I don't really like the whole palette in general because it is hard to work with the shades to show up on the eyes.

Would I repurchase?

No. I would rather buy a powder brow product if the shade that I always use runs out.

Thank you for reading my review. See you guys on future posts!

Review : Etude House Face Blur SPF 33 PA++

Hi guys! Today I have a product review from Etude House. The name of the product is Face Blur with SPF 33 PA++. It is supposed to be a face primer or base before applying foundation.

Let's take a look at the product.

The product came with a box cover. The box describes the direction and ingredients of the product. I think it explains the product really well and thankfully, there are some English words on there.

There are also more complete description of the product on Etude House official website.
Here is what the website says.

What it is

This lightweight cream provides multi-filtering effects for instantly refined and smooth skin.
The texture is smooth but it minimizes pores and brighten complextion.

---

What it does

- Covers pores and bumpy skin to make skin look flawless.
- Softening skin layer like filter effect to give smooth and even skin layer.
- Natural whitening skin to make dark skin look bright and cover imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.
- Baby pixcel powder and cover powder compounds give 3-in-1 multi filter effect like adjusting light on skin.

---

---

---

Caution

1. Use only as directed.
2. Avoid storing in high/low temperatures or in areas exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Stop using if it causes any allergic reaction or any problems arising.

Ingredients list

Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Zinc Oxide (Ci 77947), Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Glycerin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Magnesium Sulfate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Tribehenin, Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil Isostearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Silica, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium Edta, Fragrance(Parfum), Phenoxyethanol, Mica (Ci 77019), Iron Oxides (Ci 77492), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491)

This product does contain so many ingredients that I don't recognize, so it is better to look up for the ingredients or from cosdna.com. Here is the ingredients broken up by cosdna.

And as always, Etude House never disappoints with the packaging. I think it is nicely packaged, moreover, it has a pump, which I personally always prefer.

The lid covers the pump with a click sound and the bottle is plastic, but doesn't feel cheap at all. The colour of the packaging is also pretty nice and girly, but not princess-y like the usual Etude House.

Overall, the whole packaging is a plus for me.

Swatches

The product itself is in pastel peach color. The pump squeezes out adequate amount of product. On the swatch on the back of my hand, the lotion blended out into the skin quite well, but you can see that my hand that has the product in visibly brighter than my bare skin.

Oh, and it smells like baby powder, which I really like. It doesn't linger and is quite settled. I mean, who doesn't like the smell of babies?

It took me one full pump of the product to cover half of my face with a sponge. It doesn't make a big difference with using fingers.

The product brightens up my skin without going overboard, which is what I really like. I think it has something to do with the SPF part, which is a plus because you can skin sunscreen when you're in a hurry and just apply this.

It does blur out my complexion, although it doesn't cover dark spots in any way. Well, it does what it claims to do.

This product also makes applying foundation a lot easier, hence it is a great base primer for the face. I also find that my foundation or concealer last longer with this as a primer.

Let's go over what it claims to do on the Etude House website.

- Covers pores and bumpy skin to make skin look flawless.

It does cover the pores and bumpy skin texture, but not completely and they are still visible.

- Softening skin layer like filter effect to give smooth and even skin layer.

This claim is true because my skin does feel a lot smoother and more even than not applying this.

- Natural whitening skin to make dark skin look bright and cover imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.

It does whiten, brighten the skin but it doesn't 'cover imperfections flawlessly'. It looks natural on screen and in real life though.

- Baby pixel powder and cover powder compounds give 3-in-1 multi filter effect like adju

sting light on skin.

I actually don't really understand this part. But I guess it does give multi filter effect on the skin because it blurs out some pores and brightens the skin really well.

So, here are the pros and cons of the product

Pros

• has SPF 33 and PA++
• blurs out imperfections
• brightens up complexion
• perfect packaging and has a pump
• smells really nice and isn't overpowering

Cons

• doesn't cover up dark spots

Rate : 4.5/5

It claimed to 'cover imperfections flawlessly', but it doesn't cover up my acne spots and just brightens it up to look 'covered', so I guess if you have a nice skin with a little bit of uneven skin tone, it may do what it claimed.

Overall, I really like this product as a primer or to be used alone for the sunscreen and natural brightening effect.

Will I repurchase?

I think I will, if I don't find any better base primer than this.

That's all for my review today. I hope you find this review helpful! See you guys on future reviews.

What are your thoughts of the product?

SILKY GIRL Big Eye 2-in-1 Eyliner in 01 Blackest Snow

Hi guys! Today I have a mini review for you guys. It is from a local brand Silky Girl. I bought this from Guardian for about IDR 40,000, which is a reasonable price because you get two ends of the product.

The side with the black colour has more product than the side with the white colour. The product is covered wih cap and you can sharpen the product with regular clean sharpener.

Sisi dengan warna hitam mempunyai produk lebih banyak daripada sisi dengan warna putih. Produknya dilindungi dengan tutup yang tinggal dicabut kalau ingin dibuka dan kamu bisa menyerut produknya dengan penyerut biasa yang bersih.

The product is creamy and glides on smoothly on the skin. I really like the pigmentation as well. But the major problem is that both of the eyeliner smudge really easily.

Thus, the lasting power of the product is below average and you wouldn't want to touch the product in any way because it can be smudged easily.

So, I would like to recommend this product only for those you will put other products on top of this eyeliner, for example: outlining your face art.

Produknya creamy dan mengolesnya sangat halus di kulit. Saya sangat suka pigmentasinya. Tetapi, masalah yang cukup mengganggu adalah kedua eyelinernya dapat tergosok dengan sangat mudah.

Jadi, ketahanlamaannya sangat di bawah rata-rata dan kalau bisa jangan pegang produknya kalau sudah di kulit bagaimanapun caranya

Oleh karena itu, aku akan merekomendasikan produk ini hanya untuk kalian yang akan menaruh produk lain di atas eyeliner ini, seperti : meng-outline seni lukis muka untuk ditaruh face paint di atasnya sebagai guide.

So, here are the pros and cons of the product.

Pros

• opaque colours
• affordable price (IDR 40,000)
• creamy and easy to apply

Cons

• smudges extremely easily
• doesn't last long

Rate : 2/5

I don't think the easy application affect the score very much because no matter how well you draw your eyeliner, it disappears easily and it is no use in the end.

Will I repurchase?

I don't think so. With its lasting power, this product can't be used on its own as eyeliner.

Hope you find this review helpful! Comment your thoughts about this product and I will see you guys on future posts. See you next time!
