REVIEW: Moonshot Cream Paint #102 Candy Stick, #103 Strawberry Gelato, #804 Dragon Fruit, #808 Orange Souffle

If you had asked me what the #1 Korean makeup brand I've been dying to try was, I'd say it's Moonshot in a heartbeat (and JUNGSAEMMOOL, definitely). Moonshot has always been one of those brands I've always lusted after. It's partly because of the aesthetic/marketing, but mostly because G-Dragon was once the brand ambassador. Uh hello, G-Dragon could sell me dirt and I would still buy it!

Despite being launched a few years ago, Moonshot remains a brand that is not easily accessible online. My boyfriend gifted me these shades which he purchased from StyleKorean, but I do not (I REPEAT, I DO NOT) recommend shopping at StyleKorean at all. I have a lot to say about this store and will probably save it for a future store review. Long story short, expect poor customer service, unresponsiveness, and the possibility of expired or close to expiring products. Anywho, lets get on with the review and swatches!

REVIEW: Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge (Lunch Break, Midday Sun, Early Bright)

 Heimish has quickly become one of my favorite Korean makeup brands as of late - their classy + cool aesthetic coupled with their high quality palettes and formulas have really won me over! I've reviewed several of their products before with a few favorites being their Dailism Eyeshadow Palettes (Breeze Beige and Cozy Coral), their Artless Glow Base, and the Dailism Blusher Palette.

It's about time I tried their lip products, because lets be real, a girl can never have enough lipsticks. ;) I recently picked up a few of the Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge, courtesy of Jolse, which I'll be swatching and reviewing today!

REVIEW: RiRe Lip Powder Set + BB Cosmetic Coupon

Have you guys ever heard of a LIP POWDER?! Admittedly, I'm a huge lip product junkie from lipsticks, lip glosses, and especially lip tints, but I didn't even know lip powders existed! Essentially, they're highly pigmented powders that magically transform into a lipstick/lip tint of sorts once it touches your lips. There's very few on the market today since it's still a unique and innovative concept, but once I heard about it, I HAD to try it out!

Today, I'll be reviewing the RiRe Lip Powder Set, which comes with 4 bright shades + Lip Remover, courtesy of BB Cosmetic! 

P.S. There's a coupon at the bottom of the post to save you some money off of any order on BB Cosmetic. :)

REVIEW: Missha Glam Art Rouge (Beige Rug, Petit Ribbon, Dry Flower, Red Boss, Rose Brick)

As the weather gets colder, I've realized that lip balm sometimes isn't enough to hydrate my ever-dry lips, so I often find myself searching for hydrating lipsticks that'll help nourish my lips without compromising color. For me, a moisturizing lipstick during the Fall and Winter seasons is a necessity!

Recently, I've found myself reaching for the Missha Glam Art Rouge, which help give my lips the rich color I desire, while still keeping my lips moisturized and in tip-top shape! They're formulated with Bulgarian Rose Oil and Rose of Jericho which help provide hydration and nourishment.

REVIEW: Pony Effect Stay Fit Matte Lip Color

I know it's been a long time coming, but I'm finally back with another PONY EFFECT review! For the past year or so, matte lips have been all the rage in the Western part of the beauty world, so it's nice to see Pony's own take on this beauty trend! It's pretty rare to see K-beauty brands copying Western trends instead of vice versa, so I couldn't wait to test these out. Plus, it's refreshing to see that a K-beauty brand was branching out from the typical reds and pinks by including more "exotic" and hard-to-find shades (in the K-beauty world at least) like nudes, bold neons, purples, and etc!

Today I'll be reviewing the new Pony Effect Stay Fit Matte Lip Color, courtesy of Memebox! :D

REVIEW: Etude House Real Powder Cushion, Dear My Blooming Lips-talk Chiffon, + Play 101 Pencils (May Pink Bird Box)

For a while now, dewy and glowing skin has been the most popular beauty trend all over South Korea, the capital of incredibly cute beauty products, which eventually spread all over the globe. From 10-step skincare routines to cushion compacts with ultra dewy finishes, everything was made to help you get that fresh-faced and youthful look. The dewy look has won over many hearts, but now it's time for it to take a break and move over for matte finishes!

I personally love dewy and glowing skin, but sometimes the dewiness is too high-maitenance for me -- I always have to make sure my foundation doesn't transfer anywhere or try and keep my hair from sticking to my face all the time!

So with summer officially rolling in, Etude House launched a brand spankin' NEW collection which is perfect for the hot, and admittedly sweaty, season. This new launch features products that are longer-lasting and more matte. The new collection includes the Real Powder Cushion and the Dear My Blooming Lips-talk Chiffon! I was lucky enough to receive a few of these products, along with two new shades of the Play 101 Pencils in my Pink Bird box to review for you guys this month! So without further ado, lets get to the review! ^ o ^
Warning: this post is VERY photo heavy :)

REVIEW: Etude House Berry Delicious Collection (February Pink Bird Box)

Etude House just won't quit it with the constant super cute collections! They're seriously churning them out non-stop each month and I'm amazed at the consistent high quality products they keep releasing! My February Pink Bird Box (I know, it's super late), was filled with some pretty amazing products from Etude House's NEW Berry Delicious collection, which is their main 2016 Spring/Summer line. The products I'll be reviewing today from the Berry Delicious line includes the  Berry Delicious Any Cushion, the Berry Delicious Fantastic Color Eyes palettes, Berry Delicious Cream Blushers, and the new Color in Liquid Lips Juicy lipsticks. Also included in the new Berry Delicious line, that I won't be reviewing, are mascaras, lip treatments & scrubs, and body care products.

So let's dig in! :D

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: 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: COVERGIRL Plumpify BlastPRO Mascara + Oh Sugar! Lip Balm in Sprinkle

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts~ T^T I've just been super busy, in addition to my blogging laptop still being broken, and so is my SD card so these photos probably aren't the best haha. I'm getting back into reviewing more things though so expect more reviews soon, I promise! :D Anyway, I was recently sent the brand spankin' new COVERGIRL Plumpify BlastPRO Mascara and the Oh Sugar! Lip Balm to test out and review thanks to Influenster! :)

REVIEW: Vely Vely No.19 Red Rouge Lipstick by Imvely

As you all know, I LOVE Korean beauty products, but I recently realized how there are tons and TONS of Korean makeup and skincare brands I have yet to try. One brand that I recently came across is Imvely! They're a super cute online store that's very similar to Stylenanda or Chuu. Today, I'll be reviewing the Vely Vely No.19 Red Rouge Lipstick which I received from BNT News!

REVIEW: Memebox I'm Lure Red Edition Set

A few weeks ago, I was sent something amazing from Memebox: The I'm Lure Red Edition Set! As much as I love the Memebox website, I've never tried the products that they actually make so I was super excited to test this limited edition holiday set! The I'm Lure Red Edition Set comes with 1 eyeshadow palette, 1 lipstick, 1 deluxe sized eyeliner, and 3 gorgeous nail polishes all in one beautiful box.

REVIEW & SWATCHES: Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Satin Radiance Lipstick (#9 Rose Stiletto + #19 Fuchsia)

Today's review is on one of my favorite makeup brands of all time and it's the brand that got me addicted to makeup in the first place. Yup, it's time to do another review on some Yves Saint Laurent goodies! :) Why is YSL one of my favorite brands ever you ask? Well, it's easy; it's quality products with gorgeous packaging and I'm a huge sucker for pretty/cute products that actually work.

Today I'll be reviewing the new Rouge Pur Couture Satin Radiance Lipsticks in #9 Rose Stiletto and #19 Fuchsia. 

WHAT'S THE ROUGE PUR COUTURE SATIN RADIANCE LIPSTICK?

A satin lipstick revamped from Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic Rouge Pur Couture lip color. 

REVIEW: 3 Concept Eyes 2015 Lip Color Palette in #GOSSIP RED

I have been a devoted fan of pink lipsticks all my life and probably strictly pink lipsticks up until this year. I know, it's surprising to see how much my love for lipsticks have grown and how accepting I've become of other shades I used to neglect. I've learned to get out of my comfort zone and it's fun adding a little spice to your life and outfit by rocking a bright lip. Recently, I've fallen in love with bold shades like reds, oranges, and even purples!

Today, I'm going to be reviewing one of my all-time favorite lip items that I received from this month's BNT Box, the 3 Concept Eyes 2015 Lip Color Palette in #Gossip Red!

REVIEW: It's Skin It's Top Professional High Glossy Lipstick in #05 Sweet Coral | CHUUSI

I'm constantly on the lookout for new reliable places to get my Asian beauty fix. Of course, it can be pretty scary and overwhelming out there not knowing which sellers you can trust on Ebay/Amazon, or which sites sell authentic products. Well, I love discovering new websites and letting you guys know who's real and who's not, so you guys don't have to go through all that mess alone! Today, I'm going to talk about a brand new e-commerce site, Chuusi.ca! If you're just here for the It's Skin It's Top Professional High Glossy Lipstick review, then scroll down! :)

REVIEW: Rouge Bunny Rouge Colour Burst Lipstick in Irreverence + COUPON CODE!

When it comes to lipsticks, there are days where I like to rock bright and vivid shades like purple or hot pink, and other days where I want to go for a deep sultry shade of red, and then there are days where I just want to go really natural and reach for the 'my lips, but better' lipsticks. Today, I'm going to be reviewing one of those 'my lips, but better' lipsticks: The Colour Burst Lipstick in Irreverence from Rouge Bunny Rouge!

REVIEW + SWATCHES: Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk in PK015 and OR204

Today, I will be reviewing the Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-Talk in PK015 and OR204. I have been a huge fan of Etude House lippies for years now, ever since I discovered the Dear My Jelly Lips-Talk. Actually, I'm a fan of anything Etude House because I mean, how could you not like their adorable packaging?!

Etude House is the epitome of all things cute and darling. I'm a sucker for products with cute (and PINK!) packaging, but as always I love a product that looks good and also works well.

There are currently 3 different shades offered on Bisou Beauty Bar: PK005, PK015, and OR204. 

REVIEW: Peripera Peri's Tint Jelly Stick in Sky Stick

Ever since I was a little kid I have loved mood changing jewelry. Now as an adult, I haven't worn mood changing jewelry in literally forever, but when I laid my eyes on the Peri's Tint Jelly Stick by Peripera I just HAD to have it!

The Peri's Tint Jelly Stick in Sky Stick is a blue lipstick. You heard me right! The thing is, it only LOOKS like a blue lipstick, but once it is applied on the lips, it changes to a bright pink color.

REVIEW: Stiks Cosmetiks Lipstiks

I won't lie, I'm that girl that has a huge stash of lippies and any other lip product known to man. I love playing with lipsticks, lip glosses, etc. because there's so many different shades you can dress your lips up in. Having a bright and bold color on my lips is a great way to make my face and my outfit POP!
