REVIEW + SWATCHES: Memebox I'm Matte Lip Crayon

I'm super excited to be reviewing the Memebox I'm Matte Lip Crayons, courtesy of Memebox! :D I've mentioned before on this blog that crayon and stick products are without a doubt my favorite kinds of products because of how easy they are to use and control. I have loved every single kind from lip crayons, eyeshadow crayons, to stick foundations -- the list could go on and on! It's just something about the products being in a stick/crayon form that makes it just so much easier to maneuver and plus, they're also super travel friendly!

REVIEW: THELAVICOS Enzyme Washing Powder

One product that I've noticed gaining a lot of popularity and exposure lately is powder cleansers. Powder cleansers can have a lot of benefits for a lot of many reasons. One of the more obvious reasons is that they're super travel friendly (they aren't considered a liquid, of course), so you can bring along on the airplane or if you're just pretty accident-prone like me and want to avoid messy spills when going on weekend trips! One of the more important reasons though is that they're surprisingly more natural and skin-friendly than your typical liquid, gel, or foam cleansers! Powder cleansers don't require as many preservatives (if any at all) or alcohol as the other liquid based cleansers do, so that means less unnecessary ingredients for your skin! :)

Today, I'll be reviewing the THELAVIOS Enzyme Washing Powder, which is actually my very first powder cleanser! ^ o ^

REVIEW: Vely Vely Magic Wand Lip + Eye Hybrid Concealer

I have been on the hunt for the perfect lip concealer for the longest time now! Wearing a lip concealer helps allow a lipstick show it's truest shade without having your own natural lip color affect it. It can also be worn to help create easy gradient lip looks! My natural lip color is pretty pigmented and dark making it hard for me to rock some light or bright lip colors, like light shades of pink, without my natural lip color peeking through, so I was excited to try out the Magic Wand Lip & Eye Hybrid Concealer by Vely Vely!

REVIEW: VELY VELY Sliding Butter Crayon Lipstick (Orange Butter)

I was recently introduced to the beauty brand Vely Vely by Imvely last time when I tried the No.19 Red Rouge Lipstick (review HERE) and instantly fell in love with the brand! I've literally been obsessed and wanted to try even more, but it's still a relatively new brand and hard to get here in the United States. Luckily, I was sent a few products from the brand to test out thanks to BNT News and I am so stoked to introduce to you guys these fun products~ :D 

Today, I'll be reviewing the Vely Vely Sliding Butter Crayon Lipstick in Orange Butter! The Vely Vely Sliding Butter Crayon Lipstick comes in 6 vivid and gorgeous shades!

REVIEW: BEIGE CHUU Cosmetics Lipstick in Gladiolous Pink

One of the newer beauty brands I've been noticing all over social media lately is the brand, Beige Cosmetics! Beige is a relatively new cosmetic brand that was launched by the popular fashion site, Chuu.co.kr. I have not personally shopped there, but the style and vibe reminds me a lot of Stylenanda, which I absolutely ADORE! Though I've noticed Beige's presence on social media, it was nearly impossible to find their products sold anywhere online besides, of course, their online website where shipping was ridiculously high. You can probably imagine my surprise and excitement when one of my favorite online K-beauty destinations, Cupidrop.com, announced that they were going to begin carrying a few items from Beige on their website. ^ o ^ YAY!! Cupidrop is actually the very first online store to be carrying them in the United States!

I was even more ecstatic to receive a sweet little package from the lovely Kate over at Cupidrop with a few of their newer makeup items from Beige and 3CE to play with, test out, and review for you guys! Thanks again Cupidrop!

The first little beauty that I'll be reviewing today is the Beige Lipstick in Gladioulous Pink!

REVIEW: Missha Super Aqua Ice Tear Cream || TesterKorea

One of my favorite go-to online shops to purchase K-beauty is TesterKorea.com! If you haven't heard of TesterKorea yet, they're an online store based in South Korea that offers Korean beauty products at amazing prices! By amazing, I mean there's no huge mark-up compared to a lot of stores in the USA and these prices are close to what you would find if you were in Korea. How awesome is that?! 

I have personally purchased from them numerous of times and each time my products have arrived in tip-top shape! ^ o ^ The box TesterKorea packages the products in is a hard and durable industrial plastic that's super sturdy and every item is carefully and individually bubble wrapped (numerous times too)! Shipping is based on weight and the shipping time takes about a month with registered airmail, which is normal when shopping overseas, or a week or less if ordering EMS! 

One of the other many reasons I LOVE shopping there is because they're also one of the first global websites that puts up the newest products and collections! I love being able to get my hands on the newest product releases (I'm a true beauty junkie LOL), and you can also request specific items for them to carry if you're dying to buy something! Not to mention, TesterKorea has always included numerous sample packets with every purchase I've made, big or small, and there's nothing that shows a company cares more than free samples hehe ^^. I promise, I wasn't paid to say any of this review, but I truly feel this way about them -- I literally waste my days constantly browsing their site and spend way too much of my own hard-earned money there almost weekly, so yes I've been obsessed with them ever since I've gotten into K-beauty!

Anyway, TesterKorea recently hosted their first Real Tester program and I am so happy to announce that I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the 17 Real Testers! YAY :D I was sent a small package of three new product releases to review for you guys and today's review will be on the MISSHA Super Aqua Ice Tear Cream!

LET'S GET ON TO THE REVIEW :D

REVIEW: Etude House Big Cover Collection + Monkey Wish Eyes Eyeshadow (JANUARY PINK BIRD BOX)

 Etude House was on a roll for the month of January and cranked out so many new collections and products! As you know, 2016 is the year of the monkey, so it's only fitting for Etude House to come out with limited edition monkey imprinted shadows, right? ^ o ^ Also, in January, Etude House came out with a new product line: The Big Cover collection, which is meant to help you cover imperfections in more convenient and easier ways! The Big Cover collection includes the Big Cover Concealer BB, Cushion Concealer, Concealer Kit, Stick Concealer, and the Tip Concealer.
