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 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: 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$).

Review: The Saem Gem Miracle Black Pearl O2 CC Cream

20. February 2014
I’m a bit sceptical towards CC creams, especially towards those with color changing beads, because of the coverage which is just not enough for my liking. So, still I prefer using BB creams instead of CC creams, but nevertheless once in a while I’ll buy or try some CC creams or samples of CC creams. This time I tried The Saem Gem Miracle Black Pearl O2 CC Cream. This is also the first The Saem product I tried, although this brand offers some more products I would definitively love to try sometime.
Since I only had samples of this CC cream, I cannot say much about the packaging, except that it comes in a jar/tube with a pump. The sample packaging looks attractive with the colorful motif on it. I think the same motif is depicted on the paper packaging of the CC cream tube.

This CC cream has a white base and contains color changing beads in it. It feels very smooth upon application.  This CC cream also contains a nice list of ingredients, mostly natural ones. You can look up the ingredients on COSDNA if you want to check them out first. The good point which I like a lot is, that it doesn’t contain parabens, mineral oil, talc, benzophenone, artificial color, PG or 3-ethonolamines, so people disliking these ingredients in their cosmetic might like this product as well. It has SPF 50+/PA+++, too, which supports anti wrinkle effects and prevents skin damage. As all CC creams it claims to have a lot of skin benefits and smoothen the skin.

 

Honestly, I really enjoyed using this CC cream. It made the skin look nice and more even. It doesn’t have super cover like Missha’s Perfect cover BB cream, but it has more coverage than Skinfood’s Vita Water Drop CC cream. The finish is also not glowing like the Skinfood CC cream but semi matte. If you have dry skin make sure to use a moisturizer before, because it doesn’t provide that much moisture. Below, you can see a comparison between this CC cream and the CC cream from Skinfood and The Faceshop’s CC cream I reviewed previously (you can enlarge the image by clicking).

 

I tried using this CC cream with two different moisturizers and also combined it with primer beforehand and it looked really nice in all cases, especially with primer it just looked great all day long. I would definitively prefer this CC cream over the Skinfood cream. for more coverage I would still recommend The Faceshop Face It Aura CC cream.
You can get The Saem Gem Miracle Black Pearl O2 CC cream here:

W2Beauty for US$ 25.85 (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)

Did you try out this CC cream? Or do you still prefer BB creams?

Review: Belleme Cosmetics Get Your Crayon “Bad Girl”

30. January 2014
Some time ago I made a review on Belleme Cosmetics’ Not The Same Tint which I really liked. Before Christmas Abbamart-who is selling Belleme Cosmetics– had a free shipping event. Since I really wanted to try the lip crayons they have I grabbed my chance and ordered finally Belleme Cosmetics Get Your Crayon in shade “Bad Girl”. I also ordered a gel eye liner, but this will be reviewed another time. First, let’s have a look at the crayon:

So, this is again a lip crayon :D It has a clear plastic cap and works with a twisting mechanism, which I like a lot, because you don’t need a sharpener at hand. The design is simple, but the cute font they use on the crayon packaging gives it just the necessary amount of individuality to not get boring.

You can choose between 5 different shades on Abbamart’s Online Shop. The description for “Bad Girl” on the page says:

* Belleme’s trend-setting lip crayons express pure, vibrant color with a single swipe

* BAD GIRL gives irresistible attitude with a deep rich burgundy

* Creamy texture glides effortlessly on

* Perfect for creating two-tone lips with your favorite lipstick (see below for our favorite match!)

* Gives lips long-lasting moisture and softness

* No need to search for a sharpener – convenient twist-up base pushes up the crayon right when you need it

Ingredients: Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Octyldodecanol, Diisostearyl Malate, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Ceresin, Candelilla Wax, Microcrystalline Wax, Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate / Hexastearate / Hexarosinate, Lanolin, Polyethylene, Avocado Oil, Rosehip Fruit Oil, Macadamia Seed Oil, BHT, Mica, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Titanium Dioxide, Red 201, Yellow 4, Red 218

 
As you know, I love burgundy and red lip shades, so I was really happy about finding this crayon. The swatch of it is greatly pigmented and it has a smooth feel while applying. ♥ That’s exactly how a crayon has to be in my eyes.
The color stays quite for a couple of hours, let’s say up to four, if you are not excessively eating and drinking. And the stain also stays on your lips a bit, which is because of the dark shade, I guess. It also doesn’t make my lips go dry, which is a plus! All in all, I don’t find anything negative about this lip crayon and I totally love it ♥
You can get this at Abbamart for US$ 9.00. They don’t offer free shipping unfortunately, but if you have a look at their facebook page, you might have the chance to read about free shipping events.

Review: Etude House Bling Bling Eyestick No. 9 “Gold Tail Star”

28. January 2014
I’m not wearing eyeshadow often, simply because I’m too lazy in the morning to spend to much time on it. That’s also the reason I like eyeshadow sticks and pencils a lot. They are easily and quick to use and you can add some glow to your eyes and it makes you look more awake. Etude House’s Bling Bling Eyesticks are an example for easily to use eyeshadow sticks. They are available in 6 different colors. I bought this stick in a shade called “Gold Tail Star” at www.keautystore.com.


The packaging is compared to Etude House’s normally very girly packaging not really special. The color of it is simply black, with the name of the stick written on it. It has a simple cap, to protect the stick and it works via twisting mechanism, so you can wind up the eyeshadow stick. At the bottom of the stick you can see which color you are using.

“Gold Tail Star” is a golden shimmery eye shadow color. I love using it under my eyes, but it looks good on the eyelids, too, giving a soft spark. It is super easy to use in both ways. It glides smoothly on the skin, but since the skin around the eyes is extra sensitive, don’t scrub it too hard over it :)

I like this eyestick, because it is very easy to use and it has a travel friendly size (it’s shorter than most pens and pencils are). It is also really affordable in my eyes, although the prices seem to vary a bit (I bought mine at Keautystore because I’ve earned some credit there by writing reviews, so I paid actually almost nothing for it). You should have a look at ebay, too, if you are interested in buying these. The only downside of these eyeshadow sticks are, that they are not smudgeproof. If you have oily lids I would recommend you to use a eyeshadow primer in order to extend the wearability and prevent creasing. I don’t have oily lids myself, but even I am totally surprised what a difference wearing an eyeshadow base can make (I’m using a cheap drugstore eyeshadowbase, so it doesn’t have to be something high end to do the difference).
You can buy these eyeshadow stick here:

keautystore for US$ 7.90 (no free shipping option, only registered mail. You can get 5% discount using this coupon code >>here<<)

W2Beauty for US$ 7.00 (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)

Twofacemall for US$ 5.25 ( free shipping option)

RoseRoseShop for US$ 3.20 (shipping depends on weight, item is on sale now and not all colors are available anymore)

Review: Astor Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter Crayon and Perfect Stay Nail Polish

24. January 2014
I was looking for this kind of rose pink color for some time now and finally I found it: Astor’s Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter Crayon in “Flirt Natural” and Perfect Stay Nail Polish in “Retro Beige”. And these two products are a perfect color match, too. I’m so happy I’ve found them finally and these are the products I use almost daily at the moment. Keep on reading, if you want to know more ♥

Astor has a new range of lip crayons at the moment called Soft Sensation Lipcolor Butter Ultra Vibrant, providing 4 new shades. Although normally I would buy a classic red shade, this time I grabbed the more natural color called “Flirt Natural”, a rosy and vintage-kind pink color. I’m a huge fan of lip crayons in general, because they are so easy to use and they are normally a mixture of lipbalm and lipstick. This one is no exception. It gives the right amount of color and is moisturizing, too.

The packaging is nothing special and typical for a lip crayon. It has a twisting mechanism to wind up the lip crayon. The package says, that this product should give your lips color, treat your lips like lip balm and give them a nice shine on the same time. Seems to be a great deal :)

So, here we come to the exiting part: how does it look swatched and how does it look on the lips. You can see the result below:

Although my lips are naturally pigmented, you can see the color on my lips. It doesn’t feel drying or look awkward at all. The color is buildable, too. If you only use one stroke it is just barely coloring. On my hand you see like two strokes.
The next product is the nail polish in “Retro Beige”. The bottle contains 12 ml and doesn’t have any special design at all.

The brush has a good length and the nail polish itself has a good consistency, too. It is neither too liquid, nor too thick.

Below you can see the nail polish with one layer on my nails. the color gets more intense with two layers and looks exactly like the color you see in the bottle.

Comparing the two colors of the products above on a piece of paper you can see the perfect match they’ve created.
I’m completelly happy with both products and I’m thinking of buying more colors from this line. The prices for the lip crayon is 6.99 €. The nail polish costs 5.99 €.

Review: Skinfood Good Afternoon Honey Black Tea BB Cream No.1

5. December 2013
This review is based on a couple of samples from Skinfood’s Good Afternoon Honey Black Tea BB cream I gathered in the last months. I’m actually really trying to get rid of my samples, haha. We’ll see if I’ll keep on doing so. This is the first BB cream I’m trying from Skinfood. I have reviewed the Vita Waterdrop CC cream before (>>here<<) and I love it a lot, especially since the packaging was so cute. Considering the cuteness of the packaging, this BB cream is doing great as well. Keep reading if you want to know more:

Although, I only have had samples, even their packaging is typical for Skinfood and really cute. It shows an illustration of a bee and a beehive on the schemes of a tea bag. There are several BB cremes in the Skinfood Good Afternoon Tea BB line. In total there are five different ones: Apple Cinnamon Tea, Berry Berry Tea, Peach Green Tea, Rose Lemon Tea and Honey Black Tea. They vary slightly from one another, each having it’s own specifies. And they all come in two different shades, light beige (#1) and natural beige (#2). At the moment I tend to get natural beige, if I can choose, but in this case the samples were all light beige. Nevertheless, I can put it on and it is only a tiny little bit too bright for me, but it blends in well with the skin color on the other hand.

The description on the samples is in Korean, unfortunately, but you can read all the descriptions for the Good Afternoon BB creams on Skinfood’s official web page.
The description from this BB cream says:
[Honey Black Tea BB – Moisturizing & Glowing]
A moisturizing and illuminating BB cream with sweet honey and flavorful red tea that keeps skin soft and supple. [Good Afternoon BB Cream Story]
Try our Good Afternoon BB Cream Line. Infused with skin-revitalizing afternoon teas, it helps you keep a bright, vibrant skin tone all day! * To Use
Apply an even layer to skin in gentle patting motions.
I’m always a bit skeptical when it comes to honey-scented products. There is a honey scent which can be nice and one which I absolutely can’t stand, because it is too artificial. This product smells great! I really do love the scent, although it wears off after applying it on your face, but the moment you put is, it is really a nice scent. The consistency of the BB cream is light and moist. It leaves a nice feeling on the skin and feels lightweight, too. The coverage is medium, but build-able. Actually, you can see in the images below, that it covers up nicely the heart I draw with a lip liner on the back of my hand.
You can see that the cream also leaves a soft glow, but in contrast to the last BB cream from Mamonde I reviewed, this glow is not too much and I think even people with oily skin can put it on. Actually, it feels partly mattifying, too. So if you have dry skin, like me, I would recommend you, to use a moisturizer before, otherwise it starts flaking around the dry areas, for example around the nose. Unfortunately, I can’t get good lightening for taking pictures in the moment, so I have to leave you with the swatch on my hand.:(
All in all, I love the scent, I love how light it feels and I love the finish. It provides SFP20 PA+ and enough coverage. This is surprisingly a nice BB cream and I might want to try the second shade of this. I can recommend you to try this out, at least grab some samples (even the full size is not really expansive). Perhaps, it works for some of you as well.
The full size product comes in a tube and contains 30 g. You can buy this here:
Beautynetkorea for US$ 7.60 (free shipping)
W2Beauty for US$ 12.37 (free shipping option, you’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)
testerkorea for 7000 Won (around US$ 7, shipping depends on weight)

Review: Mamonde Total Solution Mineral Moisture BB cream

2. December 2013
It is time for another BB cream review :D After having posted a lot of lip products recently, I discovered some pictures of products I didn’t review yet. This post will be about Mamonde’s Total Solution BB cream. Mamonde is again a brand part of the Amore Pacific group. Mamonde comes from the french word “ma monde”, which means “my world”.

This BB cream aims at whitening, wrinkle care and sun protection. These are basically the three factors every BB cream tries to achieve. This BB cream contains a minearl complex, which should provide the anti aging effect. The mineral complex is said to engage in the collagen generation and elastin metabolism, and the mineral water says to be beneficial for purifying and lifting skin. Secondly, this BB cream contains several natural ingredients called “Smart Flower Complex” providing the whitening effect. This means, most of the natural ingredients are from different flowers, like tuberose, thistle and edelweiss. It contains arbutin aswell.
The BB cream contains SPF20/PA+ which is great, too. And last, but not least, this BB cream claims to be moisturizing, which was one of the main reasons I wanted to try this BB cream.

Unfortunaltely the packaging of this travel size BB tube is only in korean. the cardbox has a reflective material, which makes it a bit hard to take pictures with flash :( The tube itself contains 30 ml BB cream and has a screw cap. It has a pink color, but the rest of the design is rather simple and not especially creative or cute.

The oil controll is quite normal and not really super, if you have already oily skin. I personally didnt have problems with my dry skin. This BB cream is a light BB cream, compared to thicker BB creams like Missha’s Perfect cover BB. It gives a nice glow, but has only low to medium coverage. On the other hand it is very natural and easy blendable.

 

All in all, what I liked about this BB cream, was the light feel and the nice glow it provides. I didn’t actually like the coverage and somehow the staying power doesn’t convince me too much. If you are looking for a glowy, moisturizing BB cream with a light coverage though, you can try this. I bought it at www.testerkorea.com for 6900 Won (~7 US$). It’s quite some time ago I ordered this BB cream and by know Mamonde has a new BB cream called Total soultion Moisture BB cream. I would assure it will be similar to this one, but I don’t know of course. Did anyone try Mamonde BB creams and if yes, which is your favourite?

Review: Belleme Cosmetics Not the same Tint Cherry Bomb

28. November 2013
A while ago I read a blog post on Sweet Jelly Bean’s blog about a lip crayon from Belleme Cosmetics and I was so in love with the color that I really wanted to buy it. So, I went to Abbamart’s web store, where they sell Belleme Cosmetics and I was really tempted by all the lip products on their page. Unfortunately, their shipping costs for outside US and Canada were to expensive if you only want to buy one or two products and I left the web store at the end. Some time later I was browsing through www.testerkorea.com and I discovered, that they put some Belleme Cosmetics into their web store, which made me freak out a tiny bit and I ended up ordering Belleme Cosmetics Not the same Tint in Cherry Bomb – for the first XD. Keep reading, if you want to hear more about it!:)

Belleme Cosmetics Not the same Tint is a liquid lip tint which you can apply either on your cheeks or on your lips. You can create a gradient effect on you lips, too, if you want.

The product description taken from Abbamart’s web store says:

* Not The Same Tint in Cherry Bomb is a fruity, juicy cherry color stain for lips and cheeks

* Intense color is easy to blend and lasts for hours with just one application

* For lips, use the application tip to firmly press tint to the middle of lips, then quickly feather out with your fingertips for a lively bloom of color

* For cheeks, apply a single swipe across your cheekbone then quickly work in the color with your fingers

* Infuses a deep base color to your lips – top off with clear gloss or lip balm to add extra shine!

3.2 ml/ .11 oz

Ingredients: WATER Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer GLYCERIN PENTYLENE GLYCOL ALCOHOL PHENOXYETHANOL RED 227 (CI 17200) Betaine TREHALOSE PARFUM RED 40 (CI 16035)

The bottle consists of a clear bottom part containing the stint, and a cap with the applicator attached. The design of the bottle is simple, but nevertheless it has added some cuteness by the little illustration on the backside.
The color of the lip tint is a cherry red, which fits to the name of the product. The scent of it, nevertheless, isn’t the same like cherry or artificial cherry scent- luckily, because I really don’t like these artificial cherry scents- I was thinking of ripe strawberries rather…but perhaps my notion of scents is wrong XD
My first lip tint I used and I’m still using every since is benefit’s benetint. A lot of people already know it, that’s why I thought I might compare Belleme’s lip tint with it, to give you an idea abou this lip tint.
As you can see, benetints color is different than this one. Belleme’s lip tint is a cherry red color, whereas Benetint is a brighter red. The consistency of the two tints is different, too. Benetint is more watery, it may feel drying on the lips. Belleme’s tint is a bit thicker, also the color is more pigmented when applied first and it feels smoother on the lips. Both tints are water resistent to a degree. They both leave a color stain on my hand after washing with water (bottom right image above). But I must admit, that Benetint’s stain stayed on my hands even after taking a shower, although the color was bleached nearly completely. Belleme’s tint was not visible anymore, after taking a shower.
The downside of most tints seem to be the bitter taste and the fact that they are feathering and don’t leave you with clear borders in the worst case. Here: The taste of both lipsticks is not the nicest, but actually, I personally don’t care. The feathering effect is a point that I have to mention, though. Benetint has this problem, you can see on the left bottom picture above, how much it feathers. Belleme’s tint feathers, too, but the effect is not as drastic as with benetint.
Considering all these points, I would say, that Belleme Cosmetics Not the same Tint is on the same level as Benefit’s Benetint. It really depends, what type of color you like. If you want a more natural reddish shade on your lips, I would go for Benetint, if you prefer a more pigmented cherry red, you should go for Belleme’s Not the same Tint. Below, you’ll see how the tint looks on my lips when fully applied. It really gives a nice color and doesn’t have the heavy feeling of lipsticks or lip gloss.
You can by this tint (and other nice products) on Abbamart. The bottle contains 3.2 ml product and costs US$ 8.00. They have also some discounts at the moment, since it is the black friday weekend, and you can get off 30% of Belleme Cosmetics. If you live outside US and Canada and don’t want to make a bulk order to get rid of the shipping costs, you can have a look at www.testerkorea.com. They have some of the products as well. Their shipping costs depend on weight.
