Review: Etude House Petit Darling Nails Matte No.1 Ceylon Tea Beige

26. June 2013
Hey ♥
Did you all save your favourite blogs from Google reader to another one? Don’t forget to do it until end of the month :) You can follow me on bloglovin’facebook or since recently on instagram :D Yeii!
Here is the last review for the products from my W2Beauty haul from last month: it’s Etude House’s Petit Darling Nails Matte Nail Polish. (I will review the samples from this haul, too, but I don’t know when…:D). You can have a look at the haul here and the reviews for Etude House Kissful Tint Choux in Tangerine and Skinfood’ s Vita Water Drop CC Cream are here and here :)
The Etude House Petit Darling Nails Matte are available in 11 different colors. I ordered No1 called Ceylon Tea Beige. at W2Beauty you can order 6 of the 11 colors.
As the name of these polishes says, they’re supposed to have a matte appearance after applied on the nails. I was really curious about the outcome, because I always wanted to have a matte nail polish. Ceylon Tea Beige is a beige/flesh colored shade. The brush is small and thin, but the application of the nail polish works great with it.
One thick coat of the nail polish results in a good color and nice matte effect, but partly the white of your nails still is visible. With two thinner coats you get a more opaque result. Nevertheless, I  discovered that if you put the second layer after some hours onto the first, it may be, that you loose the matte effect. You’ll loose it anyways after a day which is a little bit sad ;_; Of course it doesn’t mean, that they look suddenly as shiny as normal nail polish, but they simply shine more…perhaps the use of hand cream and touching fatty things is also contributing to that effect, which is logical somehow…
Nevertheless, I like this nail polish, the color is very natural/ nude and it dries fast, too. I’d which they would offer the other colors at W2Beauty because I’d like to try some of the other brownish shades :)
Each bottle costs US$ 3.63 at W2beauty. If you use my link or the sponsor code 088505 for registration at W2Beauty you’ll get a 5.00 $ voucher after registration. The other products I mentioned above are available there, too. You can use the voucher immediately for purchases from $ 30 onwards.

Review: Nature Republic Photoshot 3D Mousse BB No.2

23. June 2013
Hello there ♥
This time I’ll do a product review for a full-size product again. After all the samples I used up recently :D But I still have a bunch of samples left, don’t worry :D
I’ll review Nature Republic’s Photoshot 3D Mousse BB in shade No. 02. I guess, it is my first Nature Republic review, isn’t it?!:D
Description taken from nature republic‘s web page:
Concept:  
-Photoshot 3D make-up line designs to cover skin imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on photoshots and in real life
-the perfect finish for use with photo-gel, so you look great on film or television and in your photos!
Age Target/Skin type/Coverage: mid20’s-mid30’s/All skin types/ medium to full coverage
When & how to use: apply directly on skin after skin care.small quantity is sufficient to make up the whole face.
main ingredients & benefits: 
1. MD101 Polynesia Lagoon Water
2. rose extract
 
Functions: 
– weightless mousse type BB has good application and excellent adherence on skin
– it fills in pores and bumpy skins to make up look
– SPF 30 PA++
– Sales point: this base make-up suits for humid hot weather (who doesn’t like heavy make-up during summer time)
– apllication tip: for best results, use with a puff.may use for body make-up as well
– two colors
 
Nature Republic’s Photoshot 3D Mousse BB comes in a package with a lot of description and information about the product. The text is in English and Korean.
Shade No. 02 is the darker shade they provide. It comes in tin with a pump dispenser. The pump is protected by a clear plastic cap. This is a bit of a disadvantage, but I’ll will explain later.
The packaging is purple colored and looks simple and not special at all. If you push the pump the BB cream comes out of the dispenser in form of a fine foam. Now here is the problem: If you push too much you’ll get A LOT of foam. It is basically impossible to use it all for one face only. Therefore you have to push only a little. Also, a lot of product stays on the dispenser opening and some additional foam is created afterwards still. That means if you put on the cap directly after usage, this foam will mess up all the cap from the interior, and since it is a clear plastic cap, it is visible, too! Not too nice :/
The BB cream itself is very light due to the foamy texture. It is easy to apply and to blend with the skin. I would say coverage is not medium to full, but sheer to medium. It is buildable to a degree. If you put too much it will settle into fine lines. I didn’t like the smell either. I expected a scent of roses, but it was another scent which I can’t describe. I just didn’t like it. Nevertheless the scent is not a big deal, since it wears off pretty fast.
Generally this is a nice BB cream with an interesting texture. I never had a foamy BB creme before. It is really light and performs nicely on the skin, if you don’t have the need for high coverage. I guess it is really a nice BB cream if you live somewhere with humid weather. It has a good SPF, too. Also, I applied it with my hands, thus I don’t know if it is more buildable by using a puff.
The product costs US$ 16.75 at W2Beauty. If you use my link or the sponsor code 088505 for registration at W2Beauty you’ll get a 5.00 $ voucher after registration. You can use this voucher immediately for minimum order of US$ 30. But they have such a variety of products, that it becomes much to easy to spend that money, haha.

Review: Lioele Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base

20. June 2013
Hey there ♥
This will be a short review based on a sample of Lioele’s Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base. Again, I got this product with my Keautybox Sample Kit of May (here). Normally, I’m a base skipper in my daily make-up routine. Mostly because I don’t have enough time in the mornings ^_^”’ I hope you don’t get bothered or bored with all those sample reviews the last days, but I promise the next one(s) are full sized products again :D
Here is the description taken from Keautystore: 
Lioele Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base (pink) 
Feature
1. Unlike common makeup base that corrects skin tone only, luster and texture can be gorgeously enhanced by the light diffusing color system containing pearl for a radiant look.
2. Skin care makeup base that keeps skin moist by maintaining the water balance through naturally moisturizing amino acid derivatives and other various moisturizing agents
3. Transforms skin tone from sordid to brilliant, and gives definition to the face to make it lustrous and seem smaller.
 
Main Ingredients:Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Betaine
Color Feature 
1. Pearl makeup base to express a lustrous look, without any stickiness 
2. Transforms a simple face to a more defined one, maintaining water balance at the same time
Ingredients: Water, Cyclomethicone, Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Butylene Glycol Dipropylene Glycol, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer Betaine, Isononyl Isononanoate, Dimethicone, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Magnesium Sulfate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Syntheic Fluorphlogopite, Palmitic Acid, Methylparaben, Chlorphenesin, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Tocopheryl Acetate, Squalane, Carmine Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Sodium Hyaluronate, Fragrance
The sample sachet looks very simple with the colors typical for Lioele: white and pink. Also the little carriage is shown on the sample :D The content of the sachet is a pink cream with pearly shimmer. The consistency is not runny but pleasantly creamy. If feels very soft after applying and leaves a pearly shimmer, which is not glittery. I don’t like glitter in products, but this one was really nice and made the skin look more radiant/glowing. Although I’m a base and primer skipper, I liked this one. It didn’t look artificially and too glittery but provided a nice glow on the skin.
The full size tube contains 35 ml and costs US$ 20.40 (here), there is a miniature tube available containing 5 ml for US$ 4.80 (here). If you decide to buy something at Keautystore I can offer you a 5 % coupon code that they provided me.

Review: Tony Moly Floria Flower Energy Foam Cleanser

20. June 2013
I ordered on KoCoMall a while ago (see haul here) and they gave me really a lot of samples. Tony Moly’s Floria Flower Energy Foam Cleanser was one of the products I tested already (I’m trying to use a lot of samples at the moment in order to make room for new stuff XD).


Here is Tony Moly’s description:
Youthfully radiant skin & Blooming baby-face made by time reversing secrete potion of Floria.
14 kinds of flower extract- strong anti-oxide and skin improvement effect Hibiscus solution
Evening Primrose oil Botanical moisturizing ingredient prevents dry face, keeps skin moist and soft after washing.

How to use
Push out adequate amount of Floria Flower Energy Foam and make rich foam. Cleanse face gently like massaging and rinse face with tepid water.

The sample sachet has the shape like the full size product: A simple tube with a flower printing at the front.
The cleanser has a creamy consistency with pearly shimmer. The color of the cleanser is light purple- pinkish. I hope you can see it on the picture above. It creates a nice foam which feels nice and soft. The cleaning works great, it removes everything perfectly, but struggles with waterproof eyeliner like most cleansers. But after some scrubbing it removes actually everything. The skin feels squeaky clean afterwards. Actually, it is a bit drying. Also it stings if you get some product into your eyes…so better avoid it. On the other hand, my face looked brighter after usage. I really liked the foam and the cleansing effect of Tony Moly’s Floria Flower Energy Foam Cleanser.
The full size product contains 150 ml and costs around US$ 15. I couldn’t find it in KoCoMalls shop. But it costs US$ 14.99 at cosmetic-love and US$ 13.27 at W2Beauty. If you use my link or the sponsor code 088505 for registration at W2Beauty you’ll get a 5.00 $ voucher after registration. You can use this voucher immediately for minimum order of US$ 30. But they have such a variety of products, that it becomes much to easy to spend that money, haha.

19. June 2013
Hello ♥
Another review for a sample I got with my Keautybox Sample Kit from Keautystore (review >>here<<). This is a miniature Set of Lioele’s C.A.D. Oxygen Pore Skin and Lotion.

Here is the the product description taken from Keautystore:

Lioele C.A.D Oxygen Pore Lotion is a special treatment that provides an abundant amount of oxygen and moisture to your skin. Absorbs deeply and promptly for pore tightening with soft and provides skin with a soft and silky texture . Aquaporins and oxygen carrier ingredients help to control pores and remove dead skin cells. Amino acid complex together with natural moisturizing factor (NMF) provides great skin hydration and leaves skin soft and smooth. 
Benefits: Moisturizes, Pore Control, Removes Dead Skin Cells, Softens, Reduces Skin Trouble, Hydrates, Smoothes  
How to Use
1. Used after applying skin toner.
2. Apply appropriate amount of lotion all over face.
3. Gently tap skin with fingertips to help absorb.
INGREDIENTS: Water, Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, PEG60Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Portulca Oleracea Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Lysine, Histidine, Arginine, Aspertic Acid, Threonine, Serine, Glutamic Acid, Proline, Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Methionine, Isoleucine, Leucine Tyrosine, Cysteine, Phenylalanine, Betaine, Phenoxyethanol, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Fomes Officinalis (Mushroom) Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Methyl Perfluoroisobutyl Ether, Ethyl Perfluorobutyl Ether, Acetyl Hexapeptide-37, Fragrance, Blue 1 (Cl 42090)
This Lioele C.A.D Oxygen Miniature Set comes in two small bottles, one for the toner and one for the lotion. The small bottles are very solid and have a simple design in light blue. Unfortunately, the solid plastic is a problem for applying the emulsion, since it hardly comes out of the bottle. You have either to put this bottle upside down and wait or you take a small spatula or something similar and take it out this way.
Below, I will show you a picture of the toner:
The toner absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave you skin sticky. It cleans residual makeup quite good and makes you feel refreshed. But, since it contains alcohol it feels drying on my dry skin.
The emulsion can be used after the toner and it should provide moisture to your skin. Below you can see the milky lotion:
The emulsion leaves a little bit of a sticky feeling after it absorbs, but the skin feels smooth afterwards. The scent of both products is pleasant and flowery.
Both products contain alcohol, so they’re not suited very much for people with dry skin like me. The lotion didn’t provide enough moisture for my skin, but I guess this product works better for oily skin.I won’t recommend this product for dry skin, but it may be better for people with oily skin. The miniature set contains 5 ml each, you can buy it at Keautystore for US$ 3.80. The full size bottles contain 155 ml each and cost US$ 26.40 for the toner and US$ 28.80 for the lotion. There is also a set available. If you decide to buy something on www.keautystore.com I can offer you a 5 % coupon code that they provided me. So if you plan to order at their store you can put my email address in the “referred email” box (which would make me very happy ^_^) and use coupon code listed below:

Review: Lioele Dollish Veil Vita BB Purple

17. June 2013
Hey there,
Todays review is about Lioele’s Dollish Veil Vita BB. I got a sample of this with my Keautybox Sample Kit from Keautystore (review >>here<<). This BB cream is provided in two different forms, the green one and the purple one. I got a sample of the purple BB cream.

Here is the product description taken from www.keautystore.com:

Lioele Dollish Veil Vita BB cream_30ml (Purple)

This is a BB cream with double functions for those who want a natural coverage. It works as make up base and foundation to even out the skin tone. A new type of BB cream that protects the skin with vitamins and gives change of color that matches your skin tone after application.  

How to Apply:Take a small pump after basic skincare and spread thinnly over the face for a smooth application. Massage it through until you see its color change

Ingredient: water, cyclopentasiloxane, titanium dioxide, glycerin, dipropylene glycol, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, peg-10 dimethicone, zinc oxide, hexyldecyl myristoyl methylaminopropionate, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, dimethicone, ethylhexyl salicylate, talc, disteardimonium hectorite, betaine, portulaca oleracea extract, jojoba esters, tocopheryl acetate, tocopheryl linoleate, hydrogenated lecithin squalane, hydrogenated vegetable oil, cyclomethicone, magnesium sulfate, dipentaerythrityl hexahydroxystearate/hexastearate/hexarosinate, calcium alumnum borosilicate, mica, c12-14 pareth-3, vinyl dimethicone/methicone silsesquioxane crosspolymer, silica, glycosyl trehalose, polyester-1, methicone, acrylates/dimethicone copolymer, palmitic acid, silica dimethyl silylate, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum stearate, peg-200, retinol, biotin, ascorbyl glucoside, pearl powder, panthenol, aluminum silicate, ceramide 3, cholesterol, bht, fragrance, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, ultramarines, iron oxides(CI 77492), iron oxides(CI 77491), iron oxides(CI 77499)

The full sized product has a nice purple design and comes with a pump. This BB cream is based on color changing pearls. actually it is more a CC cream, but there wasn’t any CC creams on the market yet when Lioele released this BB cream. The two different types, green and purple, have different functions: The green one is for covering blemishes and redness, the purple one is for evening out skin tones and brightening.
I hope you can see from the images that the cream is slightly purple colored. The consistency is more runny than BB creams with high coverage, like Missha’s Perfect Cover BB cream (review >>here<<).
The BB cream blends in nicely and really does a good job on evening out the skin tone and brightening up the complexion. It has though a sheer to medium coverage…The scent is flowery (according to the description it’s a smell of jasmine and acacia. The oil control was perfect for my (dry) skin, my nose which usually gets a bit shiny during the day looked still great in the evening. This BB cream gives a matte finish, on the other hand it is not super moisturizing, so you should put some other cream first if you have dry skin. I liked to use it as a base for my BB cream. It really made the skin look more even. Another downside is, that it gives a white cast in flash photography, but that’s with all creams containing SPF…:/
The full size costs US$ 22.00 for 30 ml at www.keautystore.de. I can recommend it for people with oily or combination skin. Also if you have blemishes and redness you could try to find samples for the green one. But don’t expect to much coverage. This BB cream from Lioele is definitely more like a CC cream. If you decide to buy something on www.keautystore.com I can offer you a 5 % coupon code that they provided me. So if you plan to order at their store you can put my email address in the “referred email” box (which would make me very happy ^_^) and use coupon code listed below:

Graveyard: May Empties

14. June 2013


I’m a bit late for this post, but I was rarely at home the last couple of days :D. I wanted to share with you the products I’ve been using up each month and here is my picture for May.


Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Ultimate Repair Express Treatment: Repurchase? This time I purchased another one. I use this nearly every day and my bf too, so it get’s empty quite soon :D
Dita von Teese Rouge Perfume and Shower Gel: Repurchase? Yes! I love this scent. And the packaging is awesome, too! ♥
The Body Shop Mini Body Butters: Repurchase? I want to repurchase the cacao butter. I loved the scent, but at the moment I have some other butters to use first.
I used a lot of samples recently, that’s why there is almost no empy cosmetic here :D

Pinky Paradise Haul and Review: Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green Bambi Series

13. June 2013
Hello ♥
I’m really excited about this post, because this is my first review on circle lenses. I was really struggling with my first circle lens order for a while. I couldn’t decide first where to buy, then I had a problem with finding lenses with the perfect prescription. Lenses are sold either without prescription or in steps of -0.25 starting from -0.50. Since one of my eyes needs -0.25 and the other -0.50, I decided after quite a bit of research to take take one with -0.00 prescription and the other with the correct -0.50. I was also worried because I have astigmatism, that I would not be able to wear them for any long time. The next point is the huge variety of circle lenses available online…it was really difficult to decide….°o°
Finally I made my mind and chose Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green (Bambi series). I purchased at www.pinkyparadise.com. When I made my purchase they were having a promotion to spend US$ 39 and get a Skin79 BB cream miniature for free. I decided to buy additionally Rohto Lycee Contact Eyedrops for contact lenses to be able to take part in their promotion. I heard good things about these eye drops and since I’m wearing contact lenses every day, I thought I’d give it a try (review soon).
So here is what I got: 
As you can see they provided me with a cute animal lens case and an additional gift. I got a hair sheet for holding your bangs out of your face, which is very useful and I tried it already :D. In case you consider to buy anything from pinkyparadise you can just enter my promotional code berriesinthesnow and you’ll get a free cute animal lens case PLUS a mystery gift, too.
Back to my Geo Princess Mimi lenses ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
The circle lens pattern is designed by Tsubasa Masuwaka, one of the most influential and popular Japanese teen models. She is also modelling in the advertise of those lenses. She looks really beautiful, doesn’t she *_*
Here are the properties for the lenses:
Diameter: 15.0mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.7mm
Type: 1 year disposal
I like the printing on the viles a lot. It is very girly and fits perfectly to the advertising with
Tsubasa Masuwaka.
The pattern is really nice with green and brown little color dots. And the typical black circle around the lens.
The free lens case I got has the shape of a pigs head and is really funny. The case itself is also quite good. If you close it tightly nothing spills, even if you throw it into your handbag :D

Now I will show you how the lenses look while I’m wearing them. I have brown eyes naturally by the way:

Design: 
I like the design! The colors blend in nicely with my natural brown eye color. I like how they try to blend the green color by using little brown dots towards the inner of  the lens.
Comfort:
 Although I should wear toric lenses, I could wear this lenses for quite a while. After 3 hours I applied some eye drops and then it was no problem to wear them for another 4 hours. The diameter of the lenses was no problem at all, but I’m used to use contacts every day anyways.
Enlargement:
Enlargement is really huge! The thick black circle ring makes your eyes really big and dolly. If you apply some eye make-up it looks nice and not too much like an alien :D
Shipping:
 Shipping was a little problem, but this was not the fault of pinkyparadise. The package got stuck somewhere in Germany, then it was at the customs for quite a while, but after a long period of time and waiting and loosing hope it arrived here and I didn’t have to pay any taxes for it….lucky :D Since it was the fault of the German postal service I’ll give 5 berries nevertheless, because their processing of the order was quite fast, also their customer service was great and answered very fast to every request.
Overall, these are really nice lenses. I don’t regret buying them and I’m already browsing for other lenses which I would like to try. :D My final rating for these lenses are:
As I said, you can buy these lenses at www.pinkyparadise.com. If you use my coupon code berriesinthesnow
1. you get a FREE cute animal lens case PLUS mystery gift
2. the coupon code can be stacked, If you purchase 3 pairs, you will get 3 lens case plus 3 mystery gifts.
3. A minimum of 1 pair of circle lens purchased to activate the code.
4. The code has no expired dates :)

From time to time they have changing promotions going on, so it’s worth to have a look at their page. :)

I’ll leave you this time with a selfie ;) See you for the next review!♥

Review: Etude House Kissful Tint Choux Tangerine

7. June 2013
Hello ♥
You already know from my recent haul post (>>here<<) that I couldn’t resist buying a second Etude House Kissful Tint Choux. This time I ordered the color Tangerine. Etude House’s Kissful Tint Choux is a lip stain in a cute little tube. This product gives your lips a color and shine while still not being heavy and sticky like lip gloss. Etude House provides 4 different colors for this lip stain: #1 Red Chou, #2 Pink Chou, #3 Strawberry Chou and #4 Tangerine Chou. I reviewed the Red Chou before (>>here<<), but I will show you a comparison between the swatches of both products below.

Etude House changed the design of these lip stain recently. The old design looked different and was named 55 Kissful Tint Chou, but it is the same product. Below you can see Etude House‘s advertising picture. Each tube color is adjusted to the color of the product you choose. They all look really cute and girly.
You can squeeze the amount of product you want to use out of the tube and apply it either directly on the lips, or dab it three or four times on the lips and use your fingers for staining all of your lips.
As I said already in my previous review, the stain has a gel structure, but doesn’t feel sticky at all. It feels very moist and gives a nice gloss. Moreover, it gives your lips a plumping effect. It smells fruity and bubblegumy, but I didn’t taste anything specific. Also your lips don’t dry out, nor will it show up in an ugly way on chapped lips. Tangerine doesn’t last as long on your lip as the red stain, because the color is also very light! It looks more orange in the swatch, but it ends up natural on my lips. It makes your natural lip color look more healthy and glossy. I really love both tints ♥
Each tube contains 4.2 g and costs around US$ 8. I paid US$ 8.12 at W2beauty. I can recommend to check out the web store. If you use my link or the sponsor code 088505 for registration you’ll get a 5.00 $ voucher after registration.

Review: Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush

6. June 2013
Hey ♥
When I got my Glossybox in May I was really happy that I got a Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush in red. I love lip products and I love red shades, plus the packaging of this lip blush looked really nice and it was a company I didn’t know. From that day I received the Glossybox until now this lip blush became one of my favourite lip products and I use it alternately with my other every day favourite lip product, Etude House’s Kissful Tint Choux.

Here’s the products description taken from Jelly Pong Pong’s official web page:
A moisturizing lip stain that tints your lips with just the right amount of juicy colour and hydrates like a balm. Apply liberally, purse and let the silky lightweight texture melt onto your lips.

Bonus : Made with beeswax and ceresin wax for a sheer, smooth application

The packaging is nice, but simply, in the color of the lip blush. It has a clear cap and a winding mechanism to wind up the lip blush. On Jelly Pong Pong’s web page you can see, that the packaging of the lip blush is really cute and nice, with flowers printed on it. Unfortunately, it didn’t come with the packaging in the Glossybox. :/

 

 

The texture of the lip blush is really nice and creamy. It has good pigmentation which stays on your lips a lot (unless you start eating a hearty meal). What I like most about it, is it’s moisturizing ability. It really feels moisturizing on the lips and doesn’t dry them out. Also, it doesn’t crumble between the lines of your lips. I have often dry lips and I have a problem with some lipsticks that they set between the dry line, but this one gives you a nice evenly lip color. ♥
I recommend the Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush to everyone who loves lip products and is in search of a good  every day lip blusher. Oh, and it’s cruelty-free, too!♥
It costs 15 € (12 GBP) and contains 2.5 g product.
