Review: Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick Romantic Autumn Rose

19. March 2014
A couple of days ago I received a beautiful parcel from Stella from http://www.stylebystella.net/ with a huge pile of goodies I received  because of winning her Valentine’s Giveaway. I was so happy about it, and I was even happier when I saw all the nice cosmetic brands she put together for this giveaway. One of the items was Innisfree’s Color Glow Lipstick in the shade “Romantic Autumn Rose” (No.3). In case you read my blog before, you may have stumbled across my review for Innisfree’s Color Glow Lipstick before. Back then I reviewed the shade “Plum Burgundy” (Click >>here<< for the review). I really do love this lipstick, and this is why I was really happy about especially this product within my winnings.

Apart from loving this lipstick even before, I was also happy that I received a pink shade, because I rarely buy pink products and it gives some more versatility to my lipstick collection :D The packaging is typically for Innisfree very clean and unspectacular, but I like it nevertheless.

The paper card box unfortunately doesn’t contain any English translation, only the symbols on one side of the box a re explained.


The lipstick contains 3.5 g. It has some kind of metal support around the lipstick, probably in order to prevent that it breaks off easily. 

 

The color of the lipstick bar is a pretty rose-pink shade and I think that the name “Romantic Autumn Rose” is a perfect choice for describing the shade. The lipstick glides smoothly and feels very creamy. It does leave a descent amount of pigmentation on my lips, although my lips are naturally darker than the color of the lipstick. I don’t need to use concealer for seeing a visible pink shade on my lips. That’s great!
 
 
 
Nevertheless, I discovered with this shade, that it tends to accentuate dry flakes on the lips. The burgundy shade didn’t leave that impression, probably because the shade is darker, but with this pink shade I have to exfoliate my lips before. Other than this I love this lipstick as much as I loved the burgundy shade. It has a natural color and it is suited for upcoming spring as well, although this lipstick range was designed for last years autumn. The staying power is similar to most lipsticks, so you’ll have to reapply as soon as you eat or drink. Here is a comparison between the two shades:
 
 
All in all I love the Innisfree Color Glow Line and I recommend it to everybody looking for a creamy and moisturizing lipstick. Nevertheless you should keep in mind that the staying power is not comparable to the staying power of lip tints for example. And that the brighter colors may accentuate dry parts of your lips.
 
You can buy this lipstick at:
 
W2Beauty for US$ 15.92 (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)

Review: Innisfree Moisture Firming Essence

16. March 2014
I’m still trying to decrease the amount of samples I’m hoarding and I fell I’m doing some progress XD Today’s post will be about Innisfree Moisture Firming Essence, based on a couple of samples I found from it ;)

The description on Innisfree’s global webpage says:
 
“A lifting-up essence that fills the skin with moisture and firmness for supple and plump skin.”
 
“It is enriched with Cactus and Green Complex from jeju island. Moisture firming helps improve moisture balance and firmness.”
You can find the ingredients >>here<< on COSDNA. Except of Cetearyl Alcohol, the ingredient list seems to be quite fine.
The design of the sample package is simple, as you expect from Innisfree to be. The full size comes in a bottle with a similar design. The essence has a gel like consistency and smells of flowers. The scent fades away quickly. If you apply it, it feels sticky on the face, but after a while the stickiness is gone. It absorbs into the skin after some minutes and leaves the skin with a moisturized and firm feeling.
This is a nice essence, the only downside is, that the firming effect it gives to the face at the beginning, fades away after a time. But all in all it is a solid product and gives some nice temporarily effects.

Review: Skinfood Strawberry Black Sugar Wash-Off Mask

14. March 2014
Remember the last time when I reviewed Skinfood’s Black Sugar Wash-Off Scrub (click for the review >>here<<) ? I received a sample of Skinfood Strawberry Black Sugar Wash-Off Mask together with this purchase and I was really happy, because I’ve been really indecisive between the Strawberry and the pure Black Sugar Mask. Since I’ve been testing the Strawberry Masks now, I can tell you, that I super love it! ♥
The full size product comes in a jar like the Skinfood Black Sugar Wash-Off Mask, but the packaging design of the sample sachet is not less beautiful. I really love the design this one has, the colors fit together nicely and it has the cutest strawberry illustration on it. Also, the sample sachet does contain enough product to use it at least 3 times, which is great for trying!
Although this is a sample and most of the Korean product samples have only Korean description written on them, this one comes with English and Korean description. Again a plus! Now, the major difference between this mask and the pure Black Sugar mask is the consistency. This one has a gel-like consistency and is not that solid as the Black Sugar Mask. Thus, it is more gentle to the skin for exfoliation.
The effect of the Strawberry Black Sugar Mask is the same in the end. It exfoliates the skin and leaves it refreshed and cleansed, without leaving a greasy film. The scent is divine (for those who love strawberry scented products) ♥ I can only say that I love this mask, it has a great scent, works well and leaves me all in all super happy! If you have sensitive skin and were worried about the Black Sugar Mask to be too harsh you should at least try this one!
You can buy a jar containing 100 g at:
W2Beauty for 12.00 US$
Amazon.com for 9.95 US$

Review: Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Lost Identity Lip Crayon in Lost in Hawaii

12. March 2014
Another lip crayon I’ve tested in the last time. Actually, I wanted to review it looong time ago, but then I decided to review some skincare products first, because back then I was only reviewing lip products XD. This review will be about Too Cool For School’s Dinoplatz Lost Identity Lip Crayon No. 2 called “Lost in Hawaii”. 

As you can see, it has a very special product design. I absolutely love the creativity of the packaging. The crayon is packed inside a paper roll with super nice illustrations all over. And it continues inside the paper roll as well. ♥

The TCFS Dinoplatz Lost Identity Lip Crayons are available in three shades. A pink shade called “Lost in You”, an orange shade called “Lost in Hawaii” (This is what I bought) and a mint colored one called “Lost in Dinoplatz”, which is a color changing lip crayon. You can look up the ingredients and the promotional pictures on TCFS’s web page >>here<<.

The lip crayon has a transparent plastic cap and works by twist-up mechanism. This is the most convenient way for lip crayons in my opinion, because you don’t need an extra sharpener. The design of the crayon shows the same illustrations as the paper packaging.
When swatched on the hand, you’ll see, that the color of the crayon is not as pigmented as the crayon itself looks like. It gives a nice orange glow and has a smooth feeling, comparable to a lip balm. If you are looking for a highly pigmented crayon these crayons won’t satisfy your needs, but if you are looking for a natural hint of color these might suit you. Since my lips are quite “dark” the color doesn’t show on my lips like in the promotional pictures. It just gives a hint of orange, which is nice nevertheless. I couldn’t capture the color on my lips unfortunately, so I will only show you a swatch on my hand:
It really glides smoothly on the skin and you can see the shine it provides. This is a very pleasant light crayon in my eyes. It has a very light fruity-citrus scent, but I could only smell it, if holding the crayon directly under my nose. The pros for this crayon are definitively the design, packaging and the natural look it creates. I love to use it when I’m in a hurry and I just want a tiny bit of orange color on my lips :D But unfortunately it also comes with one downside: Since the color is brighter than most of our lips naturally are, it will show off any dry patches or flakes on your lips, so you have to exfoliate your lips regularly, or live with that fact.
You can buy this crayon at www.testerkorea.com for around US$ 11 (shipping depends on weight).

Review: Tonymoly I’m Real Lemon Mask Sheet for Brightening

5. March 2014
Here is a short review to another sheet mask from Tonymoly’s I’m Real masks. I reviewed the Avocado mask before (click >>here<<), which was an emulsion type sheet mask. The Tonymoly I’m Real Lemon Mask Sheet for Brightening I’ll describe today is one of the essence type sheet masks from this line. There are 11 different mask types available and they can either have emulsion type essence or milky lotion type essence.
Tonymoly I'm Real Lemon Mask Sheet for Brightening

Again, the main reason I bought these masks from Tonymoly is the great design of the packages. I’m still in love with the comic drawings on each of the masks. This mask is supposed to have brightening properties, since it contains lemon extract. It is 5-free, which means that it doesn’t contain parabens, talc, benzophenone, triethanol and tar coloring. Below you can see the ingredient list and description written on the backside of the sheet mask packaging.
Tonymoly I'm Real Lemon Mask Sheet for Brightening
This sheet mask was absolutely soaked with the essence. It was so well soaked, that it was dripping when I took it out. It was really a little mess, so I didn’t take any pictures of the sheet mask itself. Anyways, showing the cotton sheets is quite boring, since they look all really similar XD.
The mask has a strong lemon scent at the beginning, but the scent either fades away after a time and becomes pleasant and refreshing, or you start to ignore it. After leaving it on the face for the advised time, the skin feels moisturized. It takes some time until the essence is absorbed fully. After one use I didn’t see any brightening effects on my skin. I’m not sure if it shows any changes after using this mask regularly.
If I would decide between this mask and the avocado mask, I personally would go for the avocado mask, but I think that this mask is suited more for people with oily skin, because it is much lighter than the avocado mask and won’t make the skin greasy.
You can get this mask at:

Unboxing: Get It Beautybox by MeMeBox No. 6

28. February 2014
Yesterday finally my first MeMeBox arrived! I first wasn’t sure if I should order it, but after seeing so many boxes I simply had to try one box at least and ended up ordering two XD. This one is MeMeBox No. 6 called “Stay well and happy this winter”, contains a lot of nice products for winter skincare.
MeMeBox comes in a small pink box. It arrived via EMS although I ordered standard shipping, which made me really happy in first place. What is MeMeBox? It is a monthly beauty box for mostly Korean makeup and skincare products. Unlike most beauty boxes it is not a monthly subscription box, instead you can order all boxes which are available and you want to order. They sell out quite fast, especially since they gained a lot of popularity in the blogger community.
The box is densely packed with 8 products, which is a great amount compared to western beauty boxes like Glossybox, for example. Here is what I received in my box:
You can see, that nearly no space was left in the box. That’s definitively a plus! The box included an overview card where all the products are listed and described shortly (if you click to enlarge the image you will be able to read the text).
My box contained these items:
O’sum Aloe Vera Soothing Mist (80 ml / 15 $) – box contained full sized product
This is an aloe Vera Soothing Mist which can be worn before or after makeup or on its own. It contains natural ingredients and is suitable for sensitive and dry skin. This seems to be a nice product. Aloe Vera is always good for dry skin in winter, so I’m curious to try this. Also, O’sum is a brand I heard of before and was curious to try anyway.
Kovas Brightening Facial Mask (14 g/ 2.50 $) – box contained full sized product, that means one sheet mask
This is a brightening sheet mask for the face. It doesn’t contain parabens, fragrances alcohol or pigments and thus might be a nice mask for sensitive skin. I didn’t try it yet, and it is the least spectacular product in the box, but still nice, since I love using sheet masks and it fits to the topic of the box.
Recipe by Nature Spray Essence Water (140 ml /35 $) – box contained full sized product
This spray essence water contains a lot of beneficial skincare ingredients like minerals and vitamin and is supposed to nourish and hydrate the skin. It also contains essential oils. It doesn’t contain mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, Triethanolamine or parabens. It is suggested to use this after cleansing the skin. I used it already once and I applied it after cleansing and toner. I love also the design of the packaging and from my first impression this is one of the highlights in this box for me.
Hanskin Bio Origin Wrinkle Talk BB SPF3ß PA++ (40 ml/ 39 $) – box contained 10 ml
Hanskin is also one of the brands I often heard but never bought. Probably because of the prices. I’m happy about this product because I love BB creams and this one seems to have a matching tone for my skin. Also the consistency of the BB cream is great, since it is not too fluid. The tube appears only half-full if you squeeze it- 10 ml are not much :'( But better than nothing :D
Nelafantasia One day Whitener Magical Whitening Lotion (120 ml / 26 $) – box contained 40 ml
The design of this whitening lotion is very girly and reminded me at Lioele’s design. This lotion creates a temporary whitening effect and can be used all over the body. I used it on my elbows and knees and it does show some differences. I didn’t try it on my face yet.
Kerasys Moringa Miracle Essence ( 50 ml / 13.5 4) – box contained 50 ml
This is the second highlight in the box. I love hair oils. They make my dry and frizzy hair look at least a bit more healthy. Also, I love the scent of this one. Funnily I’m using a Moringa scented Shower gel at the moment, so it fits perfectly. XD The design of the product reminds me of “Kerastase”, a salon brand you’ll find often here in Germany (and Europe ?).
 
Dr. Jart + silver Label Rejuvenating BB (50 ml / 29 $) – box contained 8 ml
Another BB cream from a brand I’ve wanted to try but never did, until now. :D Again the tube contains very little and you have to put some pressure on the tube to get the product out, which feels like the tube is half empty. The BB cream has again a shade, which might fit to my skin, luckily.
 
Laneige Snow Crystal Pure Lip gloss (5g/ 20 $) – box contained 3 g
Okay, this is probably the worst product in the box. First of all, I heard the same product was already included in another previous box, which is disappointing for those people. It is also the same color, which makes it even worse. The price for this lip gloss is also not justified in my eyes. It is a normal lip gloss with shimmering particles. Nothing I would buy personally.
All in all, I’m happy with this box and I can ignore the Laneige lip gloss. All other products will be used and I’m already curious to try and test them and write reviews for all of them :D The products are well balanced, there is some makeup, some skincare and something for the hair as well. Some boxes had foot or hand masks instead of facial masks, which makes even more diversity.

This box cost US$ 23 and US$ 6.99 for standard shipping (although it came with EMS in the end-yeah!).

I’ve ordered another MeMebox (No. 8), too, and I hope that the box will be as nice as this one. Another thing: I received an email from MeMeBox today that they will stop shipping outside US, Canada and Japan. this would be sad, because it means Box No. 8 will be also the last box I will receive from them.:( also, they change their homepage, so it might be you won’t be able to access their web page today.

What do you think about the box? any product you like most?

If you like, check out their web page as soon as it is available again: www.memebox.com/

Review: Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton Pact

27. February 2014
It’s quite a while ago that I bought this little powder pack. I have some BB creams which are really on the glow-y side and sometimes I just prefer some matte texture instead of dewiness. Therefore I decided to buy a new translucent simple powder, since my old one was simply too old XD. I didn’t want to spent to much money on a simple powder and that made me buy the Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton Pact.

The pact is really small and perfect for taking it around to touch up your face. The design is simple, yet cute, and I can totally imagine thinking about cotton and smooth feeling while staring at the packaging :D

This translucent powder pact is available in two shades, pink beige (01) and natural beige (02). I bought natural beige, because it is nearer to my skin color than pink beige.

The Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton Pact is a light powder pact containing herb and vegetable extracts. The pact comes with a mirror and a puff and is due to it’s size super travel friendly. It has a light scent, but it doesn’t linger too long.

The puff feels very soft and it takes a nice amount of the powder. The powder has some color, but it doesn’t come with any coverage, so it is perfect for setting BB cream or foundation.

Nevertheless, If you have very dark skin you should not use this powder because it might be too obvious, because of the color.

The staying power is quite satisfying but I cannot tell you much about the oil control since I have mostly dry skin. It worked out for me personally perfectly. Another plus is the price and the size which make this product a useful friend for your pocket.

The Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton Pact is available at:


W2Beauty for US$ 9.02 

Testerkorea for 5800 Won (around US$ 6, shipping depends on weight)

RoseRoseShop for US$ 4.64 (shipping depends on weight)

Review: Etude House Silk Scarf Damage 2x Hair Pack and Hair Serum

24. February 2014
Today I went to the hair saloon and cut my hair…I cut off 30 cm of my hair, because it was so damaged that I think it is the best way to regrow healthy hair. But before I decided to cut my hair I still believed in rescuing it somehow, and in one of my desperate attempts I bought also two hair masks from Etude House called Etude House Silk Scarf Damage 2x Hair Pack and Serum.
All in all four different masks from this range are available. You can buy either the Camellia, the Jojoba, the Argan Seed or the Avaocado hair mask. They are recommended for different grades of nutrition, marked by level 1-4. I bought level 3 Argan Seed Pack and level 4 Avocado pack, since my hair was really dry and damaged. Each of these packs consists of two steps. The first step ist the hair pack, which you apply in your wet hair after washing, leave it in for some minutes and wash it out. The second step is the serum, which you can put into your wet or dry hair and don’t have to wash it out.
The packaging of both masks is super cute and typical for Etude House. The back contains the description in English and Korean. The amount in both sachets is enough for one treatment of long hair. If you have short hair you can probably use it two times. Both, the pack and the serum are milky lotion type fluids.
I didn’t take any before and after pictures so you have to believe my words :D First, both packs made my hair smooth after applying and made it easy to comb through my hair while they were still wet. I applied the serum to my wet hair in both cases and the serum makes them even smoother. The feeling of the hair after using the packs was definitively nice than before. I also recognised a boost in the shininess of my hair, especially with the Avocado mask. The shiny effects of the Avocado mask appeared stronger to me and the smoothness condition of my hair did also.  The scent of both hair treatments was pleasant and lingered on the hair for quite some time. They both didn’t have a special scent, it was just a typical hair pack scent :D
These packs have a nice packaging and give an extra boost of shine to your hair. They make them feel smooth after application but they are definitively not “THE” hair treatment solving all your problems. I could imagine re-buying the Avocado treatment, but probably I’ll try out other hair masks before.
You can these packs at W2Beauty for US$ 4.59 each.

Review: TheFaceShop Mango Seed Silk Moisturizing Facial Butter, Toner, Emulsion and Exfoliating Clear Smoother

22. February 2014

As you know, I’ve normally dry skin, especially in cold winter. This year’s winter is still quite mild, so luckily my skin is not that sensitive yet. But in any case, I love good moisturizing creams for my skin especially my face. One cream which caught my attention is TheFaceShop Mango Seed Silk Moisturizing Facial Butter, after I saw it on an episode of Get it Beauty, where different moisturizers were being compared. This one was the most loved moisturizing facial cream, so I decided to give it a try and bought a bunch of samples. And since I was really curious about the product, I added the toner, the emulsion (lotion) and exfoliating liquid from the same line.


The design of the Mango Seed Line is made in yellow, which is the color everybody would associate with Mango :D Let’s start off with the main product: The Mango Seed Silk Moisturizing Facial Butter.

The full size product comes in a jar and it is delivered together with a spatula for scooping out the butter.

Special about this product is the consistency of the cream, which has the consistency of butter. Although it seems having a rather solid structure, it melts off easily if it is in contact with the skin. It has a silky and smooth feeling and it leaves the same smoothness on the skin.

The scent is fruity and similar to another Mango product I tried (Nature Republic Fresh Hawaiian Mango Pack, click >>here<< for the review). It absorbs quite quickly into the skin and leaves the skin moisturized in a pleasant way. I had the feeling that the moisture really sunk into the skin and wasn’t lying on top of it, if you know what I mean. And the great thing is, that this feeling was noticeable all day long! Moreover, the facial butter doesn’t leave the skin sticky or greasy at all. I really loved using this facial butter ♥

You can combine the facial butter with the other products from this line, like the Mango Seed Moisturizing Toner, Emulsion (also called Lotion) and the Exfoliating Clear Smoother. All products come in bottles with a pump, which is super convenient to use. The toner has a see-through plastic body.

The toner has two phases: a milky phase and a clear phase, which have to be mixed previously. You can see in the image below that the toner has a milky color after mixing. The scent is the same fruity scent which the butter had. The toner also feels moisturizing on the skin. Probably the milky phase is some kind of lotion providing the moisture.

The emulsion/lotion is a light creamy type emulsion, which is lighter than the facial butter. It is slightly sticky after application, but the stickiness fades away after 1-2 minutes. Also here, the scent is the same, as for the other products of the line.

The last product I bought is the Mango Seed Exfoliating Clear Smoother. You have to use this one after cleansing your face. I put the clear liquid on a cotton pad and wipe it over my face as an additional cleaning step to remove dead cells. The cotton pad did show excess dirt, so I guess it was effective. This one feels also slightly sticky after application, but also here the stickiness fades off after some minutes.

I discovered for my dry skin, that if you use all products together, the skin starts to look a bit greasy. I would recommend the use off all products together only to very dry skin, or people living somewhere, were it is super cold and dry and your face is exposed to that. This is a super moisturizing line for this purpose. If you have oily skin, I would use the toner and the emulsion only, occasionally the exfoliating clear smoother. For dry and normal skin the facial butter in combination with the toner is the best choice in my eyes. Using the Exfoliating Clear Smoother in the evening after cleansing.

This line has a lot of potential if you are looking for moisturizing products. If you are not sure which one or which combination might be the best for you, you should order some samples like I did (I ordered my samples at www.testerkorea.com). I decided to buy the full size jar of the facial butter definitely after I used up my other moisturizers, because I really loved how nice and supple my skin felt all day long. I also used this butter in combination with the Face It Primer Moisture Fitting I reviewed yesterday, and it gave me a super nice finish ♥

You can get all of these products at W2Beauty. The Facial Butter (50 ml) costs US$ 32.23, the Toner (145 ml) costs US$ 24.49, the Lotion (125 ml) costs US$ 25.49 and the Exfoliating Clear Smoother (145 ml) costs US$ 25.49.

My rating for the whole line and especially the facial butter is:

Review: TheFaceShop Face It Primer Moisture Fitting

21. February 2014
I’m not using foundation often, practically I don’t use them at all… Instead, I’ve been preferring using BB creams for years now and I never really thought about trying it primer for it. But lately I thought “Why not?!” Maybe it works out for me, too, to use some primer occasionally. That’s why I bought TheFaceShop Face It Primer Moisture Fitting a while ago and I’ve fallen in love with it ♥

There are three versions for this primer, one is called velvet skin, one called glow, and this one is called moisture fitting and it has a light pink packaging. The packaging is designed neat and simple. The instructions on the cardboard box are written in Korean and in English, which is a great plus!
Here is the list of ingredients for this product:
Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Cetylethylhexanoate, Hydrogenated polydecene, Cetearyl alcohol, Niacinamide, Glyceryl stearate, Glycereth-26, Butyrosperum parkii (Shea Butter), Microcrystalline wax, PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethione, Corallina officinalis extract, Citrus paradisi (Grapefruit) fruit extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Butylene Glycol, Triceteareth-4 phosphate, Dipentaerythrityl, Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate, Caprylic/Capric glycerides, PEG-2 Stearate, Glycol stearate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone crosspolymer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate crosspolymer, Limnantes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Potassium hydroxide, C12-14 pareth-12, Disodium EDTA, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Yellow 5, Red 4, Fragnance,Alpaha-isomethy ionone, Benzyl salicylate, Butylphenyl, Methylpropional, Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool
The ingredient list is quite long and you can look up the stats on COSDNA if you like (click >>here<< for the link to this ingredients list). It contains Alcohol and Parabens, and if you have sensitive skin you should check out the list first.
The primer comes in a bottle with a pump. the bottle is plastic, but you cannot see through it in order to see how much is left in the bottle. I love using pumps for such products, because it makes them much easier to use ♥ Again, the design stays simple, like the design of the cardboard box.
The primer itself has a creamy, lotion-like structure and has a white color. It feels moisturizing and gives the skin an instant cooling sensation. The skin feels soft and gets a nice glow after applying the primer. Furthermore, this primer is really lightweight and is not sticky at all. The scent is flower-like, but it is not overwhelming. I used both BB and CC cream with this primer and I’m really happy with the effect. My face looked great all day long and I didn’t have the need to touch up in the evening, which was really surprising. I will definitively recommend this primer to you! Maybe the Velvet Skin primer is better suited for oily skin, but for dry and normal skin I can only recommend trying TheFaceShop Face It Primer Moisture Fitting! ♥
You can get this at:
testerkorea for 12.900 Won (around US$ 13). Shipping costs depend on weight.
W2Beauty for US$ 18.99 each (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$).
