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.

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.
