Review : Etude House Drawing Show Creamy Liner BR401

Hi guys! Today, I have an eyeliner review for you guys! It is the Etude House Drawing Show Creamy Liner in BR401. I have been using this eyeliner for almost 2 years now and it's still usable until now. This is the eyeliner itself.
I bought this for about IDR 100.000. It was a pretty good deal.

This is how much product I'm left with after using this for years.

The eyeliner comes with a small brush.

The brush is pretty good in terms of quality. It is stiff and precise to create lines.

You can put the lid to extend the brush for better grip. It's really efficient. I always use this brush to apply the eyeliner.

Here is the swatch of the eyeliner. I bought this eyeliner in brown because when I bought this, I have a black eyeliner. It is also said that brown looks natural. I was aiming for the natural look. However, now that I see the colour, I wish I had got the black one instead.

The colour is indeed brown up close. But when I see my face in the mirror, it looks like black. That's why I wish I had got the black one instead.

The eyeliner's quality is good though. I just wish I got the black one. Maybe when this one runs out? Hehe

This is the waterproof and smudgeproof test. As you can see, it doesn't wear off under running water.

After that, I used my pointer finger to rub the eyeliner, HARD. Let's be honest, you won't rub your eyes that hard, especially when you know that you're wearing eyeliner. I was really impressed when I tested the eyeliner.

And here is me wearing the eyeliner. My eyes look bigger and the brush really did affect the application.

You can see from the photo that the eyeliner looks like blackish brown.

So, here are the pros and cons :

Pros

• Easy to apply
• Cheap but good quality
• Waterproof
• Smudgeproof
• Long lasting
• A little goes a long way

Cons

• None. I really can't think of any cons

Rating : 5/5

Will I repurcahse? Of course! I would love to buy this again after I run out of this eyeliner. The black one, of course.

Hope this review helps. Thanks for reading!

Review : Skinfood Nail Vita PK205 Peach Pink

Hi guys! Today I have another nail polish review and swatch for you guys. It is the Skinfood Nail Vita in PK205 Peach Pink. Here is the product itself.

The packaging is very simple and ordinary. Nothing special about the product itself.

Here is the swatch with one coat. It dries glossy and it looked like I didn't need to use top coat.

Here is the swatch with two coats and without top coat. It still looks shiny. With two coats, the colour did get more opaque.

The colour itself is not just a plain peach pink. It has got some tiny golden sparkles in it. However, it doesn't look that noticeable.

So, here are the pros and cons of this nail polish :

      Pros

• It was quite cheap. I got it for about IDR 25.000 per bottle.
• It can get opaque in two coats
• Dries glossy and shiny
• Dries quite fast
• You don't really need a top coat to make it shiny
• It was the perfect shade that I was looking for

     Cons

• Two coats may not be enough for people who want full pigmentation of the nail polish

Rate : 4/5

minus one point because it isn't that pigmented to get opaque in one coat.

Hope this review helps!

Review : Skinfood Nail Vita Base Coat

Hi everyone! Today, I have a nail polish review. The product's name is Skinfood Nail Vita Base Coat. Here is the picture of the product.

On the website, it says these things :

• Capacity10ml
• Details
  Enriched with vitamins and keratin, this base coat helps nail color to apply easily and last long, while nourishing nails.
  
  * To Use
  After trimming, apply onto nails before Nail Vita, for easy application of it.

And as you can see, I've been using this product for quite a long time. About 3 months, I think? It's quite a good product for the price and I'm currently not looking for another base coat as I've another bottle of this as a back up.

Application

Here is my nails before. It's really dry because I've just removed my nails with acetone.

And here is my nails after using one layer of the base coat.

The base coat dries in a glossy finish. I really like it. It smooths out the ridges of your nails. It dries in a minute or two. If you're in a hurry to paint your nails, you could definitely wait for a minute then apply the next layer (I always do this haha). I could really see a difference when using this and not using this.

So, here are the pros and the cons

Pros

• dries quickly
• dries glossy and shiny
• smooths out your nails before nail color polish application (a big plus for me)
• cheap
• contains vitamins and keratin for healthy nails

Cons

• none

Rate 5/5 Perfect Score!

I'll definitely keep buying this because it is a really good quality product

Bonus picture : the shine though >.<

Review : Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk BE102

Hi everyone! Today I have a lip stick review. It is from Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk line. This line was released in 2014. Mine is in the shade BE102 매혹적인 여신포즈 베이지.

I can't find the English name of this shade and I looked up to google translate and it says 'Seductive Goddess Pose Beige'. What a unique name.

This is what the packaging looks like.

The packaging is normal, it's how Etude House presents itself: princess-like and girly. It has a cute pink ribbon and sturdy packaging, it click upon opening or closing the product, and it is retractable.

I've had this for about 1 year. This is how much product left in the tube.

One thing I notice though, this lipstick can actually melt inside the tube if exposed to high temperature. My lipstick is kind of messy because of that. However, that didn't really bother me.

Here are the swatches of the product, both in natural light and in flash. I really love this shade. It is a pinkish nude shade that definitely suits every skin tone.

And as you can see from the pictures, I did 1 swipe, 3 swipes, and 5 swipes for the swatches, and they all look the same. This lipstick is so pigmented that even if I don't label the swipes, you wouldn't be able to differ the swipes. It is highly pigmented.

And here is the swatch of the lip stick on my lips. My lips are quite pigmented to begin with, so I was surprised that it actually showed up pretty well. It looked more pinkish in flash but in natural light it looked more reddish nude. 

This lipstick is also very moisturizing. It doesn't shrink into the dry patches of my lips. It is very glossy, and I think because of that, the lasting power of this lipstick isn't that great. It easily comes off just by touching it. So, you might want to avoid eating with this lipstick on. But, I really like this new formula better than the Dear My Blooming Lips line.

You also need to blend with your fingers because if not, the lip stick will get really messy, blotchy and ugly, as seen here :

So, here are the pros and cons :

Pros :

• highly pigmented
• very moisturizing
• nice packaging
• doesn't shrink into dry patches of the lips

Cons :

• not very long-lasting

Overall, I think this lipstick is really good and high quality.

Rate : 4.5 / 5

(minus 0.5 point because of the lasting power)

Repurchase? Of course! I would love to try out the other colours as well!

Hope this review helps! See you guys on the future posts!

UPDATE

For better view of this product, I retook the swatch photo on my lips. Thanks again for visiting my blog!!
