Review: Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge Lipsticks

1. November 2016

I’m honestly super excited to share about this review of the Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge Lipsticks, which were sent to me by StyleKorean. Heimish is recently one of the most anticipated Korean brands and has been mentioned in many big magazines like Allure. I also read a couple of other reviews by fellow bloggers and it seems that they have quite some quality products worth a try. I’m happy to introduce three colors of the Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge Lipsticks to you today:

Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge

Heimish is a Korean cosmetics brand which just launched this year in March. It gained a lot of attention through the easy and modern style of their products and the use of every day colors in their makeup range. They have not only makeup like eyeshadow palettes, lip products and makeup, but also cleansers. The first time I heard about the brand the cleansing balm (I linked the lovely review by “the point of vu” here) got my attention.

Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge

Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge

The Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge are the moisturizing lipstick range from Heimish. There are a total of 8 shades available from which I will show you the shades “All Night”, “Morning Glow” and “Early Bright”. The creamy type lipsticks containing vegetable oils are supposed to apply smoothly and provide a high fit with a visible color pigmentation.

Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge

The lipsticks are packed in cardboard boxes with a pretty and soft design in pink and geometric pattern on the sides. Each of the sleek lipsticks has a purple metal packaging with a magnetic locking mechanism which helps to close the cap tightly and prevents from going loose in your handbag for example. Love this mechanism of closing the cap! The lipstick bullets are 3 g each.

Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge

The Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge Lipsticks contain sunflower seed oil extract, brazil nut oil extract, rosehip oil extract and chinese oil extract. These oils help to moisturize your lips while wearing lipstick and prevent them from drying. When applying the lipsticks you will see that they glide super softly over the lips. It has a perfect creamy lipstick formulation and doesn’t feel drying on the lips.

Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge

The colors look slightly different from the colors of the advertorial pictures. I chose one dark and two nude lipstick colors. “All Night” is a vibrant fuchsia pink color and the darkest red-ish shade from the Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge. “Morning Glow” and “Early Bright” appeared like nude/beige colors in the advertorial image but turns out that “Early Bright” is a pale rose color and “Morning Glow” a peachy coral shade.

Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge

The color pigmentation upon applying is good and the colors are clearly visible, even the light ones show up on my lips. Of course, the staying power is not good as it is with matte lipsticks or stains, since creamy lipsticks tend to transfer and be removed easily from the lips as soon as you drink or eat something, but still in winter and for every day use these are perfect to hydrate and care for your lips despite having some color on them at the same time. Unfortunately, due to my darker natural lip color, “Morning Glow” and “Early Bright” only show slight differences when applied. In the swatches on my hand the colors show their differences. If you want to show the differences of these two shades it is better to use a lip concealer before applying the lipstick.

Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge

I really like these lipsticks. I love the packaging and the closing mechanism of the cap and I love the creamy soft texture of the lipstick itself. Perfect lipstick for dry seasons and therefore I can recommend it. Especially if you like every day colors and more sheen lipsticks these will be totally yours. I wished they had more red shades though and that the advertorial pictures would show the right colors for the swatches. It would it make much more easy to select a color. The lipsticks are available from Stylekorean for 10.46 US$.

Did you try any products from this new Korean brand already?

Review: Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

27. October 2016

// AFFILIATE LINKS / LIPS / KBEAUTY //

When MeMeBox launched their first cooperation with Pony I was so excited. I loved (and still love) watching her tutorials on YouTube. I had to order the Pony x MeMeBox Eyeshadow Palette right away and I’m still in love with it and use it super often, and more than other eyeshadow palettes I bought. When Pony launched her own makeup brand called Pony Effect, I was super excited, but the fact that they were not so easy to order (MeMeBox wasn’t shipping to Germany any longer) and also quite expensive made me stay away from buying. After a while W2Beauty started to carry the products from MeMeBox and things got more easy for me, too, but I was still not sure what to buy. Especially when you have more than enough from anything and try to reduce the amount of cosmetics by finally using it up…Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist buying the Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colours when they released…Shame on me!

Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

“Discover a more beautiful You, discover your beauty potential” is the leading statement and motivation by makeup artist Pony for her brand Pony Effect. The products from the brand are focusing on make-up mainly, although I spotted some sheet masks recently, too. The design of her products is modern and trendy, so also for the Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour. The key color I associate with Pony Effect is rosegold. You will spot that her products either have a rosegold colored cap or the logo is imprinted in rosegold color.

Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

The Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour has a matte liquid lipstick formula, which promises to dry into an opaque and matte finish without drying out the lips like other matte lipsticks. There are 10 different shades available, from which I chose 2. It turned out that I selected shades “Magnificent” and “Flawless”.

Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

Magnificent is a nude/rose-colored shade whereas Flawless is a tomato red one. Ir was really hard to decide since I have so many red lipsticks already. But nevertheless, I had simply to take one red shade because it is the color I wear most often. The lipsticks come packed in cardboard boxes in black and rosegold color, very simple and neat and yet modern. The lipsticks themselves come in typical lip gloss bottles with rosegolden caps, You can see the color of your shade through the bottle.

 

Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

The directions for using these liquid lipsticks is pretty easy, but since it is a matte product I can only advise you to exfoliate your lips. It will look so much better on smooth lips than on dry and chapped lips. Then apply one thin layer of the product.

 

Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

The Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour have an included applicator attached to the cap, like most liquid lip products. The applicator has an angled brush, which works nicely for applying the product. If you do not want an opaque layer you can also just dab a few dots on your lips and blend it in quickly.

Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

The liquid formula dries down after a few seconds to a matte finish and leaves really a good stain. Even after showering and washing my arms I could still see the marks of the swatches on my skin. Maybe it is not advised to use your fingers for blending in the products, but use a cotton swab instead. Mostly I was worried about two things: I didn’t want the same experience as I had with the Clio Lipnicure, which started to peel of in flakes after a while. Second, I was worried that the brighter color “Magnificent” would settle into the lines of lips, making it look ugly and strange. Non of my worries happened. The lipstick doesn’t peel of but fades nicely when eating a lot of fatty food. still the stain is visible for a long time. The bright color does not settle either into the lines but looks perfectly fine. Of course due to the shades “Magnificent” doesn’t leave such a strong stain as “Flawless” does, but for a nude lipstick the stain is still pretty great. Of course, since they have a matte formulation they won’t be as moisturizing as lip balms, but they are not drying as some other matte lipsticks either. Below you can see the two shades swatched and applied.

Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

I do not regret buying these two Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour shades. I love the colors, I love the finish and the texture and I love their performance. I can definitely say that these are great. Of course, since people tend to have different natural lip colors, the swatches may turn out slightly different on you, but still I heard that these shades worked great on most people who tried them before. I’m totally happy and I can give my thumbs up for these!

I bought mine from W2Beauty but you can check elsewhere to find it, too. Some stores were you can buy the Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colours are:

W2Beauty for 24.26 US$

MeMeBox US for 18.50 US$

Review: Peripera Peri’s Ink Stick

4. July 2016

// PR SAMPLE / MAKEP / AFFILIATE LINKS //

Peripera lip products are widely known among Korean beauty lovers and still, I had so many tints and lipsticks from other brands that I never tried them out. It was inevitable that our ways would cross some time and here it is, my first review of the Clio Peripera brand, the Peripera Peri’s Ink Stick, thanks to a giveaway and reviewing opportunity by 0.8L Germany.

Peripera Peri's Ink Stick

Club Clio Professional was founded by makeup artists in 1993 and they opened their first flagship in Seoul in 1998. They carry brands like Peripera and Goodal and the brand Clio of course. I tried the Clio Lipniqure and the Clio Kill Black Waterproof Pen Liner before but neither of the other brands.

Peripera Peri's Ink Stick

The Peripera Peri’s Ink Stick is a matte powdery lipstick for a long-lasting stain of your lips and although it has a similar shape to the Peripera Liquid Inks this one is not liquid at all. When I first saw the product I thought that I would have to push out the black part which looks like a dropper, but then I discovered that you have to remove the lower see-through plastic part.

Peripera Peri's Ink Stick

And as you see, removing that part reveals the lipstick bullet! The shade I’m showing here is No.3 called “Love Hunter”. It is a vibrant tomato red and perfect for a bright pop of color in summer. There are 6 different shades available for the Peripera Peri’s Ink Stick. The bullet feels powdery when you use it on your lips and doesn’t have any moisturizing effects. It simply creates an evenly colored layer of stain on your lips. The stain is buildable and pigmented, but can be blended out into a more soft look. I discovered that it has really a long-lasting pigmentation. My lips were stained from morning on even after lunch. Then the stain started to fade slowly but not completely.

Peripera Peri's Ink Stick

Peripera Peri’s Ink Stick is definitely great for achieving a long-lasting matte stain on your lips. The stain is drink and meal proof for some time and fades slowly. The swatches on the back of my hand were even visible after taking a shower. It doesn’t have any moisturizing properties, so if you have dry lips you want to apply lip balm on top, which will probably reduce the lasting power of the stain.

You can get this product from:

W2Beauty for 11.19US$  (use coupon code berries10 for additional 10% off and free shipping)

Amazon.com for 14.99US$

Etude House Dear My Lips-Talk Chiffon | Pink Bird Box May 2016

14. June 2016

After last month’s pink bird box, which included all three Etude House Bubble Tea Sleeping Packs, this month’s pink bird box is packed with makeup products. Since I had so many pictures for this post I decided to make three reviews, each focussing on one of the three newly released products out of this box: The Etude House Dear My Lips-Talk Chiffon, the Etude House Real Powder Cushion and new colors of the Etude House Play 101 Pencils. I will start with the key item of the new Etude House releases, the Etude House Dear My Lips-Talk Chiffon. 

Etude House Dear My Lips-Talk Chiffon

First of all, some words about the Korean brand Etude House: Etude House is one of the best known Korean brands for cute packaging. If you are a lover of cute, girly and pink packaging, reminding you of being a child and the princess you always dreamt to be, THIS is your brand. Their packaging is usually so adorable that you cannot keep yourself from impuls-buys – only because you saw the packaging… Etude House has a blogger program called Pink Bird. Selected blogger will receive a monthly box for a defined period of time packed with selected products for reviewing purpose. I’m really proud and happy to be part of their Pink Bird program!

Etude House Dear My Dear Lip-Talk Chiffon

Etude House even send us two different shades from their new lipstick range, which I will show you here: We received shade PK027 and BE109 of this new semi-matte lipstick range. All in all there are 12 colors available of the Etude House Dear My Lips-Talk Chiffon.

Etude House Dear My Dear Lip-Talk Chiffon

As you can see Etude House changed the design of their lipsticks. The previous design was princess-y and looked like a toy. The new design is still pink and cute, but more sleep than before. The material is still a light plastic though and doesn’t feel super expensive. Still, for people loving pink this will be a dream again.

Etude House Dear My Dear Lip-Talk Chiffon

The Etude House Dear My Lips-Talk Chiffon are a combination of a soft and moist cream lipstick and a long-lasting and pigmented matte lipsticks. The combination of both properties builds the chiffon lipstick. The lipstick promises to be thin and light, long-lasting and fill the lines and wrinkles of the lips. I’m a bit confused by the last property though, because usually I do not want the lipstick to settle in the lines…but proberly they mean that it stains the lips evenly.

Etude House Dear My Dear Lip-Talk Chiffon

PK027 is the shade which was advertised by Krystal in the promotional pics and is a pigmented dark pink shade, almost cherry toned. I was first worried that it would be too pink for me, but surprisingly it looks really nice and almost like the color that most lip tints pay off on the lips. BE101 is a beige color which can be pulled off for a daily and natural look. It was hyped by LilyMaymac on Instagram. It fits perfectly to my natural lip color and is the perfect contrast to the vivid pink color from PK027. The texture of the lipsticks is nice, not super creamy and melting, but also not dry and difficult to layer like some matte lipsticks are. It is a perfect mixture as I expected from this lipstick. The pigmentation is nicely visible, too, as you can see from the swatches below. Both colors cover my lips evenly and do not accentuate the dry parts of my lips and they did not settle unprettily in the lines either. Luckily! BE101 wears off quicker than PK027, which leaves a bit of a stain, but the lipsticks are not long-lasting. Actually, not a real surprise to me, because it is really hard to find a really long-lasting lipstick anyways.

Etude House Dear My Dear Lip-Talk Chiffon

All in all, although I was not expecting too much from this lipstick, I really like the two colors. Although I prefer the old design of the Etude House lipsticks, these are not too bad either. I grabbed the PK027 quite often in the last day, guess I like the pink shade- although, if you know me, you know that I prefer red lips usually! The Etude House Dear My Lips-Talk Chiffon retail for 12.40 US$ on Etude House’s official store.

Review: Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick

8. June 2016

You know I have an obsession with lipsticks so it is time for another lipstick review. I kindly received the Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick by Korean cosmetics online shop Qdepot some time ago and although my initial wish for a product for reviewing was another item which was out of stock I accepted the offer for this product mainly out of two reasons: I never reviewed any products from Banila Co, and I loved the packaging design!

Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick

Banila Co. first came into my focus when everybody started to rave about their Cleansing Balm. I even bought a couple of samples of it in order to try but I didn’t have the chance to write the reviews yet. Other than that this Korean brand reminds me of benefit when I look at their logo and design of their skincare and makeup products.

Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick

The Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick is from the Glam Muse Makeup line and all the products have the same patterns and ornaments. The design is not only restricted to the cardboard boxes of the products and it is also present on the products themselves.

Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick

The Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick is available in 6 shades and you will also find additional description about the lipstick on Qdepot. The shade I’m showing you here is shade LRD331, a rosy-pink shade with shimmering particles. It applies smoothly and leaves a sheen on the lips. Due to the creamy texture it is not long lasting though and dissappearsee quickly. It doesn’t leave visible stain on my lips either, but still the color is pretty, even though usually I prefer lipsticks without shimmer particles. Since the product also contains argan oil and palm seed oil it has also a moisturizing effect and is not drying on the lips.

Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick

If you are looking for a creamy and naturally colored lipstick the Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick in shade LRD331 might be a good choice for you. It is not long-lasting and not too opaque though, but rather makes your lips look natural and shiny. It is a good everyday-lips color in my eyes. The Banila Co. Glam Muse Luster Lipstick retails for 11.81 US$ at Q-depot and they have up to 35 % discount on products from Banila Co. at the moment.

Q-depot is an online retailer for Korean cosmetics. They have already quite a variety of the most popular Korean brands and they keep adding products frequently. The site is easy to navigate, too. And they offer free samples for each order andfree shipping for orders above US$ 49. What I like especially, that they have an extra section for cruelty-free products, which contains brands like Iope, Innisfree, Etude House, etc. I didn’t see that before for most of the online stores, so that’s something really innovative and nice. Also, they are committed to contributing 3% of their group’s net profit for social causes in different countries. So you can shop for your favorite Korean products and do something good, too. Also,Q-depot is having a promotion were you can get 25 US$ coupon upon signing up. The coupon is useable for a minimum purchase of 69 US$.

Here are also some useful coupons when ordering at the moment:

Review: Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick

11. March 2016

// AFFILIATE LINKS / LIPS / KBEAUTY //

Usually, in fall and winter each year Innisfree releases a new lipstick. Since I tried and loved the Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick and the Innisfree Creammellow Lipstick I’ve always been really excited about the new lipstick releases. I was curious about the new Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick which were released end of 2015 and grabbed one of them.

Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick

Innisfree is an eco-friendly Korean skin care and makeup brand focusing on natural ingredients from Jeju island and recycle packaging. The design of their products is simply and neat and nicely reflects the ideology of the brand. Innisfree products are usually free from harmful ingredients. They belong to the Amore Pacific group.

Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick

As always the Innisfree lipsticks come in a very sleek and simple packaging design. The products have mainly a white packaging and the Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick is no exception. The design of the lipstick container is a bit more chubby than the previous Innisfree Color Glow and Creammellow Lipsticks, but it also has the small plastic part at the bottom where you can see the color of the lipstick. I chose shade 5 called “Sweet Twenty Red”, a cherry red shade and the boldest color of the 10 available shades. 

Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick

The cardboard box of the lipstick is made of recycled paper and printed with soy ink. It contains the Korean description only, except from the one side showing the key features of this lipstick: light fitting, clear color, long-lasting, and camellia oil. The bullet of the lipstick is protected by a silver metal part. You will find a saying printed there: “A lipstick that instantly covers your lips with a clear color and without a heavy feeling.”.

Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick

The lipstick applies smoothly, but it doesn’t glide onto the skin like the previous lipsticks I was talking about earlier. On the other hand the pigmentation is really great and you will achieve a nice layer of color with only one stroke. It doesn’t settle into the liplines either, but looks very evenly when applied. It is not a matte lipstick, but has a sheen – not as glossy as the Color Glow or Creammellow Lipsticks. the bullet has a fruity scent, which is only noticeable when you directly sniff at it. On the lips it doesn’t have any scent or taste. It is not drying and you can feel that it contains some oil (camellia oil). But it is not moisturizing either. It also doesn’t last long, especially since it is not transfer-proof and as most lips it is not food-proof either.

Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick

If I compare the lipstick to the previous releases from Innisfree I like the previous ones more. They had perfectly moisturizing properties for the cold season. Regardless, the Innisfree Real Fit Lipstick is a good and solid lipstick, but it is not as special for me as the previous releases. I must say that I love the color range though. I saw a review on Rini Cecillia and I really liked the shade “Dried Rose” in her swatches. This would be a shade I would be tempted to buy, since it is such a pretty mauve/dusty rose color. If you like rose-colored shades you might want to check them out.

The Innisfree Real fit Lipstick is available at:

 W2Bauty for 11US$ (use coupon code berries10 for 10% off sitewide with free shipping)

 amazon.com for ~12 US$

Innisfree for 14US$ (15% coupon discount upon registration)

Review: L’Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte

23. February 2016

// BEAUTY / MAKE-UP //

Today's post will be about a new lipstick from L'Oréal Paris called Infallible Matte Lip Pens, which is not yet available worldwide. Therefore I decided to write the post in German. But if you want to know any details, please feel free to ask in the comments below. I'll be happy to answer your questions :)

Vor einigen Tagen erreichte mich ein Paket von L’Oréal Paris mit einem Set der neuen L’Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte, die ich bei einem Gewinnspiel auf Instagram glücklicherweise gewonnen hatte. Ich bin immer noch sehr froh und aufgeregt, dass ich so die Möglichkeit bekommen habe gleich 4 Farben der neuen Lippenstift Reihe zu testen.

L'Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte

Wie ihr bereits an dem Namen erkennen könnt, handelt es sich hier nicht um gewöhnlichen Lippenstift oder Gloss, sondern um einen Lippen-Puder-Stift. In der Beschreibung von L’Oréal findet ihr folgendes:

“Der INDEFECTIBLE MATT wurde von L’ORÉAL MAKE-UP DESIGNER PARiS kreiert, um auch die Lippen modellieren zu können – für einzigartige Looks und Effekte. Unsere Innovation INDEFECTIBLE MATT vereint getönte Puderpigmente, Polymere, samtige Mikrokugeln und einen Schwamm-Designer-Applikator für präzise modellierte Lippen, absolut wischfest und nicht austrocknend.

Ein getöntes Puder von intensiver, aber unaufdringlicher Farbe. Der innovative Schwamm-Designer-Applikator bietet neue Wege zum Auftragen von Lippenfarbe – für präzise definierte Lippen und lang anhaltende Farbe. Matt, mit 8-Stunden-Halt für alle vier Lippenfarben. Der Indefectible Matt ist unser erster Lippen-Puder-Stift, für einzigartige Looks & einzigartige Effekte.”

L'Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte

Insgesamt sind bisher fünf Farben der L’Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte erhältlich von denen ich vier Farben hier vorstelle: 001 Silencio, 002 Virgin, 003 Ooops I Pink It again und 007 Say My Name. Von der Optik her sind die Stifte auch sehr elegant aufgemacht, typisch für L’Oréal Produkte. Jeder Stift hat eine Kappe in der entsprechenden Farbe der Lippen-Puders.

L'Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte

Mit den L’Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte können verschiedene Effekte auf den Lippen gezaubert werden, sei es ein Gradient-Look (auch Kissed-Off-Look genannt), Ombre-Look oder einfach ein vollständiger Auftrag und somit ein Matt-Look. Auf der Rückseite der Geschenkbox sieht man auch alle drei Beispiele als Schema aufgezeichnet.

L'Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte

Von der Größe her sind die Lippen-Puder-Stifte in etwas doppelt so lang wie ein regulärer Lippenstift. Sie enthalten 1.06 g Produkt, welches anders als bei Lippenstiften im Deckel des Behälters zu finden ist. Das Konzept erinnert mich an einen Japanischen Highlighter von Relevance, den ich einmal getestet habe. Das Prinzip ist folgendermaßen: im Deckel befindet sich ein gepresstes, cremiges Puder. Der Stift selbst besteht aus einem Schwämmchenapllikator. In dem der Deckel durch drehen verschlossen wird gibt er das Puder auf das Schwämmchen ab und kann aufgetragen werden. Wenn man mehr Produkt braucht dreht man das Schwämmchen wieder in den Deckel und erhält wieder neues Lippen-Puder .

L'Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte
Die Farben sind wie zu erwarten matt und und lassen sich einfach und auftragen. Die Textur fühlt sich samtig-pudrig an und die Farben wirken sehr weich. 001 ist die hellste Farbe, ein leichter rosa Ton. 002 und 004 sind Pinktöne, wobei 004 ein kräftigeres Pink darstellt. 007 ist ein klassischer Rotton.

L'Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte
001 Silencio entspricht fast meiner natürlichen Lippenfarbe. Man sieht kaum einen Unterschied, wenn er aufgetragen wird, außer dass die pudrige Textur dazu neigt trockene Lippen und Hautschüppchen zu betonen. Das Problem haben helle Lippenstiftfarben im allgemeinen, wie ich finde. Die Textur fühlt sich auf den Lippen an, wie wenn man Puder auf die Lippen gibt. Ein weiches Tragegefühl, was sehr angenehm ist, und keinen speziellen Geschmack hat, wenn man mit den Lippen darüber fährt. 002 Virgin ist auf den Lippen besser zu erkennen als der Nude-Ton 001. Es ist ein leichtes Pink, welches trotzdem sehr natürlich wirkt. 004 Ooops I Pink It Again is ein kräftiger Pink-Ton, der sehr schön auf den Lippen wirkt. Der Rotton 007 Say My Name ist der kräftigste Ton unter den vier Nuancen. 004 und 007 lassen die trockenen Lippen nicht so auffallen wie die beiden helleren Farben. Die L’Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte sind weder austrocknend, aber auch nicht besonders pflegend. Laut Beschreibung sind die Lippen-Puder wischfest, was ich allerdings nicht feststellen konnte, allerdings hält der Stain der beiden dunkleren Farben 004 und 007 relativ lange an, auch wenn sie kein fettiges Essen überstehen.

L'Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte
Tragegefühl und Wirkung der L’Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte gefallen mir sehr gut. Die beiden dunkleren Nuancen 004 Ooops I Pink It Again und 007 Say My Name sind meine beiden Favoriten. Wenn man gerne auch Gradient Lips trägt sind die Schwämmchenapplikatoren sehr praktisch, können aber auch unhygienisch sein. Nach einer Weile sollte man das Schwämmchen jedenfalls säubern. Ob und in wie fern das möglich ist habe ich noch nicht ausgetestet. Wer allerdings nach einem pflegenden und langanhaltenden Lippenprodukt sucht ist hier wohl möglich nicht an der richtigen Adresse. Die L’Oréal Indefectible Matt Lippen-Puder-Stifte sind für je ~13.00 € in den Drogerien oder Amazon erhältlich. Was haltet ihr von den neuen Lippen-Puder-Stiften? Welche Farbe ist euer Favorit?

Review: Vely Vely Lipstick No.19 by Imvely

16. January 2016

The Vely Vely Lipstick No. 19 by Imvely is the newest addition to my red lipstick collection and meanwhile I’m starting to wonder whether I will be ever able to use up all my red colored lipsticks during my life or not. This Korean lipstick is absolutely new to me and I’m sure that hardly anyone knows about this product. It was sent to me by BNTnews, and as you probably know they tend to send out products which are either hardly available outside of Korea, or very popular and newly released products.

Vely Vely Lipstick No.19

Vely Vely is the cosmetics brand of the Korean fashion brand and online store Imvely. The store seems to be quite modern and have a newly launched make-up collection including some eyeshadows, lipsticks and eyeliners. The Vely Vely Lipsticks are newest launch it seems and they are available in 8 colors. The Vely Vely No. 19 Red Rouge is a satin lipstick according to the description, whereas the other shades are called ‘matte’.

Vely Vely Lipstick No.19

The packaging is simple and yet elegant with a light pink cardboard box with golden lettering. A poem is written on one of the sides. The ingredients of this lipstick contains a three oil complex and shea butter for moisturizing and elasticity improvement, Honey extract for nourishing and recovering and a 6 Flower Complex for soothing and revitalizing. I couldn’t find the full ingredients list though.

Vely Vely Lipstick No.19

The lipstick container has a matte black color. The bullet is made of 3.4 g classy red lipstick. It swatches very softly with one stroke, but the pigmentation can be intensified when using a thicker layer.

Vely Vely Lipstick No.19

The lipstick is neither super creamy nor does it glide softly, but it is more of the harder type of bullet. It can be nicely used when using a lip brush and can create nice and sharp lines. The staying power is regular for lipstick and it fades after drinking and eating and it isn’t transfer-proof either.

Vely Vely Lipstick No.19

The color is really pretty and totally to my liking. You can create both elegant and natural look, depending on how thickly you will use the lipstick. A thin layer creates a natural look and is suitable for a gradation on the lips. Coloring the lips fully leads to a strong tomato red and looks super classy. It is not my dream lipstick considering the staying power, but is does what you usually expect from a good red lipstick. The retail price should be around 19800 Won – a quite regular price. On the Imvely online store it is available for 27.72 US$ which I would consider too expansive. Would you like to try products from this brand? What is your opinion?

Review: KIKO Rebel Romantic Collection

2. January 2016

Happy new year everyone! It is 2016! The best part about Christmas and new year are the massive sales everywhere! And that’s why I have a special review for you today. I’ve planned the review of the KIKO Rebel Romantic Collection weeks and months ago so it is a long overdue review, but now you can get all the items on sale mentioned below on sale, which makes it not to bad to post it now :D By the way, I found out about the sale by my fellow blogger at Cupcakes and Berries, who bought all the three shades of the Rebel Bouncy Blush. Had over to her blog to see the shades she has.

KIKO Rebel Romantic Collection

KIKO Milano is an Italian brand founded in 1997, with a broad range of make-up, skin care and body care. They are available in many different countries online and also with physical stores. It is always a pleasure to walk through their stores and the take a look at all the different colors they have for nail polish and eye make-up. The KIKO Rebel Romantic Collection was one of their collections which really caught my eye because of the beautiful packaging.

KIKO Rebel Romantic Collection

I have four different products from this collection to show you, which are the Rebel Bouncy Blush in shade 04 “Passion Red Wine”, the Intensely Lavish Lipstick in 03 “Luscious Red”, the Intensely Lavish Lip Pencil in 03 “Luscious Red” and the Color Definition Eyeliner and Kajal in Black.

The highlight of the collection are definitively the Rebel Bouncy Blushes, which have a super pretty packaging in a rosegold color and have a very interesting texture aswell. You might think from the first glance that this will be a cream blush but actually it is a blush with a cream to powder texture, which is super blendable and has a powdery and velvet-y finish. The colors are also very pretty!

The second highlight of the collection are the Intensely Lavish Lipsticks. Here again, we have a rose-gold and super elegant packaging and a classy red color in case of the shade “Luscious Red”. The lipstick has a creamy texture with a pigmented and vibrant color and a light glossy finish. It goes super well with the Intensely Lavish Lip Pencil in the same color, which applies soft and creamy aswell.

Unlike the Lip Pencil, the Color Definition Eyeliner and Kajal has a twist-up mechanism and an included tip sharpener attached at the end of the pencil. The color applies creamy and vibrant and is rub-proof.

Below you’ll find the swatches of all the products on the back of my hand starting with the eyeliner from left, then the lip liner and the lipstick, and on the right the blush. If you can get your hands on some of the discounted products I can advise you to grab your chance, especially for the beautiful blushes!

KIKO Rebel Romantic Collection

The blushes retail for 4.90 € (before they were 9.90 €), the lipstick retails for 3.40 € (from 6.90 €), and the lip liner for 2.40 € (from 4.90€). I didn’t find the eyeliner though. Sorry for the quick and also belated post, but hopefully it is useful to those of you who are on the hunt for some discounted products. Head over to KIKO Milano and check out their Sales selection if they have some products from the Rebel Romantic Collection available yet! Did you try any products from KIKO that you would recommend? Did you try any products from the Rebel Romantic Collection?

Review: Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge

8. November 2015

// AFFILIATE LINKS / KBEAUTY / LIPS //

It’s been a while that the Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge liquid lipstick (or better to say lip laquers?!) have been released, and I bought one of the shades back then in order to review it quickly and close to the release date. But then my computer crashed and it took ages to repair it. Finally, after many weeks and months here is my review for the Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge in shade CRD01!

Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge

Missha is one of the worldwide famous Korean brands, especially their Missha M Perfect Cover BB cream is one of the most famous BB creams. They have a lot of online stores all over the world and are available in US/Canada, Australia and since some time they even opened up an online store for Germany, and a physical store in Ingolstadt in Germany! The products always come in a very luxurious looking packaging and the design is usually very mature and elegant and I think that it can be liked by almost everyone. The Missha Painting Rouge line, a collection of liquid lipsticks, was released with two version. There is the Missha Syrup Painting Rouge and the Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge. The words “chiffon” and “syrup” explain how the lip rouges feel when applied on your lips. The Syrup Painting Rouge leaves your lips with a gloss and moisturized, whereas the Chiffon Painting Rouge has a feeling like velvet on the lips, yet it is not a matte lip rouge, but has a lipstick like glow. The packaging design of both versions is similar and also very neat and simple. In total there are 5 different shades for each the Syrup Painting Rouge and the Chiffon Painting Rouge.

Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge

As you can see, the packaging of my Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge comes only with Korean description, but you can find the English and the German version (and many more) for both products on the official Missha pages. Although it may be that the product is not available in all countries yet.

Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge

Honestly, the name “chiffon” made me think of matte lips first, but already on the advertorial pictures you can see that it is a soft finish, but shows some glow. I was really curious about the texture. The Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge comes in a rectangular container with a doe-foot applicator and the first time I used I was really surprised about the feel of the product on the lips. Similar to the Skinfood Milky Rose Vita Color Lip Lacquer it feels super soft on the lips, more like some velvet canvas. It is not sticky, but feels powdery when you press your lips against the back of your hand for example. Nontheless, it looks moist. The more you dabb it with your finger the more the gloss dissapears and it can be blended out to a soft tinty color without glossyness. Having said that, you can already imagine that this product is not transfer-proof. But the texture makes it useable as a blush, since the finish is powdery after blending it. The applicator is easy to use, but is not ideal for creating sharp lines. I would use a lip brush for creating sharply defined lips with this product, otherwise there is the risk of feathering borders. Generally, this is perfectly suited for creating gradient lips and applying it in the center of the lips mainly and blur it outwards.

Missha Chiffon Painting Rouge

Despite the application of the Missha Chiffon Rouge Paint, which can be tricky if you are a perfectionist, I totally love the color and the powdery feeling instead of a sticky gloss feeling! The pigmentation of the color is great, too, although it transfers easily and is not long lasting. Nevertheless, the stain will stay on your lips for quite a while, but for the pigmented lips you will have to reapply it. You can get the Missha Chiffon Rouge Paint from W2Beauty  for 8.92 US$. For those living in the US you might want to check out the prices Amazon, too. If you live in Germany you may also get these lip rouges from the German Missha store for 7.90 € and it will be at yor doorstep after a couple of days.
