Review | Heimish Dailism Water Drop Lip Tint #Mild Day ♥

As promised in my last StyleKorean haul post, today's review will be on the Heimish Water Drop tint which I've been raving a lot about recently! Heimish is a Korean brand that recently launched a few months back and I first heard about this through a beauty vlogger on Youtube, Meejmuse! They have a range of beauty products and I'll definitely be checking out more products later because I really love this lip tint! Without further ado, lets get into the review! 

Haul | StyleKorean Beauty ♥

In today's post, I'll be sharing with you guys some things that I recently received from StyleKorean. If you guys haven't heard of StyleKorean before, it's basically a Korean online store that sells a whole bunch of Korean beauty products with international shipping. They often do lots of promotions with their brands and so I would encourage you guys to check that website out if you're looking to buy Korean makeup or skincare products at an affordable price. Keep reading if you would like to see what I got in this beauty haul :)

ETUDE HOUSE | July Pink Bird Box ♥

Hi everyone! I'm super excited to announce that I'm officially an ETUDE HOUSE Pink Bird Blogger! For those who don't know what that is, it's basically a six month program by ETUDE HOUSE where they send you products to review in a cute box every month. I've seen many Pink Bird Bloggers before but I never actually thought that I'd become one of them one day. So a few weeks ago, I received my first pink box (which wasn't actually pink like i though lol) and I'll be reviewing what I got in this July box.

Review | Tony Moly Backstage Gel Liner ♥

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for this was two days late (I forgot to upload lol!). Another week has flown past which means it's time for another review! Today's review is on the Tony Moly Backstage gel liner, which I know has been out in the markets for a long time already, but I only got my hands on this liner recently!  

Brand: Tony Moly

Name: Backstage Gel Liner

Price: $5.45 USD

Weight: 4 grams

Shade: 01 Black - The collection contains 6 different shades

Where to purchase: StyleKorean

Description: This high quality Backstage Gel eyeliner is designed to give an intense color line. The long-lasting and waterproof thixotropic gel formula means up to 24 hour hold. Easy to apply with built in brush, causing no irritation to the eyes. You can create different looks and intensities with Tonymoly Backstage Gel Eyeliner, from natural eyeline to smoky make-up.

Ever since I started using liquid liners, I stopped using gel liners because I find that liquid liners are so much more convenient and quicker to use! Gel liners are a pain in the neck because I have to use a brush and that just takes too much effort #imsolazy. I'm not sure if it's just me but gel liners tend to smudge really easily on my eyelids as well so i've tried to stay away from them in recent years. However, I've heard that this Tony Moly gel liner is quite popular choice for lots of beauty guru's so I decided to give this a chance. 

The Inbuilt Brush 

The best thing about this gel liner is that the brush comes with the liner so you don't have to use another brush. Downside is that it makes the packaging more bulky but unless you want to travel with this, it's not a problem for me. The brush isn't the best and doesn't work as well as angled eyeliner brushes but it did quite a decent job! Because the tip of the brush is small it means that you can line every part of your eye, even the parts that you usually can't reach with a bigger brush. 

The Formula 

The actual pot of liner is in the little tub at the bottom which you can twist off the lid and use. The only gel liners I've tried before are the Maybelline Studio liner and Essence gel liner. The Maybelline one is quite dry whilst the essence one is really wet and soft. This Tony Moly one however, has a consistency that is inbetween. It's super creamy but it's not so soft that it will smudge and smear everywhere like my Essence one. It glides onto the eyelids really smoothly and sets quite quickly, i didn't experience any smudging on my eyelids during application. 



In terms of whether it's waterproof - I swatched this on my hand and rubbed it under water but I didn't experience any smudging at all which is a good sign! 
In terms of whether it's smudgeproof - on the day I first tested out this liner, I decided to prime one eyelid but not the other to see if this works on oily eyelids (on the website they said it's not that suitable for oily eyelid people). At the end of the day, I didn't notice any smudging at all on the primed eyelid but there was a tiny bit of smudging on the eye that wasn't primed. So I would recommend people with oily eyelids to prime their eyelids first before using this eyeliner to prevent smudging or smearing. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verdict 

Packaging 

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ / 5 

The one thing I really like about this packaging is that the brush is inbuilt into the packaging so I don't have to worry about grabbing my angled eyeliner brush. It's super convenient and because it's made out of plastic, it's light and you don't need to worry about dropping and breaking it.  However, like i mentioned before, this might be a bit bulky for those who travel a lot. 

Price

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ / 5 

Most korean makeup products are super affordable, including this eyeliner! It only costs $5.45 USD and it comes with a brush as well so it's a pretty good deal for those who don't want to splurge on an expensive gel liner. 

Performance 
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ / 5 

I've only ever tried two other gel eyeliners (the Maybelline and Essence one) and i really didn't like either of them because one was too dry and the other was too wet. This Tony Moly eyeliner has a really great formula that is super smooth, making it easy to draw on the line but also doesn't smudge during the day which is something i look for in eyeliners. 

Pros

- Super Affordable
- Convenient because it comes with the brush
- Really smooth formula
- Long lasting
- Doesn't smudge
- Very pigmented
- Wide shade range

Cons

- Might be bulky for travelling 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, I would recommend this gel eyeliner and it has definitely restored my faith in gel liners because the ones I've tried before didn't work very well on my eyes. 

I hope you all enjoyed this review and if you've tried this eyeliner before, make sure to let me know what you think of it in the comments down below! Hope you all have a fantastic week and I'll catch you guys in my next post.

Review | Berrisom Oops! My Lip Tint Pack w/ Lip Swatches ♥

Hii Everyone! :) 

Hope you guys have had a fantastic week! Last week after I posted about my haul from StyleKorean, a lot of you guys requested for a review on these Berrisom Lip tints so as promised here it is! These lip tints are super popular these days and is kind of like a lip tattoo that you peel off, lasting up to 12 hrs. Keep reading this post to see my thoughts about this product and full lip swatches of each shade!

Brand: Berrisom  

Name: Oops! My Lip Tint Pack 

Price: $17.99 USD

Weight: 15 mL each 

Shade: Comes in 9 different shades
- Virgin Red

- Virgin Scarlet

- Lovely Peach 

- Pure Pink 

- Bubble Pink 

- Sexy Red

- Glam Orchid (new to the collection : not available in this 6 pack)
- Deep Coral (new to the collection : not available in this 6 pack)

- Candy Orange

Where to purchase: StyleKorean

Description: Experience a vivid pop of color onto your lips that lasts the entire day - No smudging, waterproof and transfer-free despite eating, drinking or even kissing! Berrisom’s Oops My Lip Tint Pack is one of the hippest lip makeup in Korea which is highly recommended by makeup aficionados, power bloggers and even K-POP stars. It’s a peel-off type of pack that leaves a vibrant color that lasts for over 12 hours without smearing or fading. This lip tint pack is enriched and fortified with premium herbal extracts such as aloe vera leaf extract, marine collagen, royal jelly extract, hyaluronic acid and honey

When I first heard about this product I was so excited because I'm actually super lazy when it comes to lip products. I can never go without foundation or eyeliner or mascara but I always seem to forget to apply lip stick! It claims to be super long lasting and doesn't transfer so that's something that I wanted to try out. This pack comes with 6 shades out of the 9 in their entire collection. If you're looking to try out this product, it is definitely a lot cheaper to go with this set of 6 because when you individually buy each shade it already costs about $10 on other korean online stores. This is currently a patented product in Korea so you will only be able to find this kind of lip tattoo tint from Berrisom cosmetics. 

The packaging is quite cute with 15mL of product in a squeezy tube. 

The Application Process 

The application process is pretty self explanatory. All you have to do is open up the tube and squeeze a moderate amount of product on your upper and bottom lips. This part can be quite difficult for first time users because the consistency of this lip tint is really sticky and gooey which makes it pretty hard to spread out and get an even application. Oh and don't worry if the colour that you squeeze out looks a bit scary because the tint will come off as a lighter shade than what you see in the tube (refer to my lip swatches below)

You then leave it on for about 5-10 minutes depending on how much product you put on your lips. You will know when it's ready when your lip starts to feel stiff instead of wet - then you can start peeling it off starting from the corner to the other side. It kind of feels like pulling plastic off the lips (kind of strange at first but you'll get used to it hehe). Sometimes, not all of the pack will peel off so a tip is to get some tissue and rub it on your lips to get rid of the stickiness and left over tint. Right after you peel off the tint your lips may still feel a bit tacky but after awhile that feeling will go away. Afterwards, you should be left with a nice semi matte tint on your lips- but I usually like to apply a gloss on top to prevent my lips from looking too dry (even though it claims to have lots of moisturising properties ._. ) 

Lip Swatches of the Six Shades

Virgin Red

This first colour in the set is a typical true red shade. It's quite bright and looks really good with the gloss. This shade is probably the longest lasting shade in the set so if you like wearing reds a lot, this is the shade for you because it's vibrant and long lasting! 

 Vivid Scarlet 

 When you first apply the tints to your lips, the colour is really scary - kind of like fake blood (LOL blame all the halloween makeup tutorials I've been watching heh). But once you peel it off, it's a classic orangey red shade. Quite a nice colour but it's probably too bold of a shade for me to wear on a daily basis. 

Lovely Peach

This shade is the one I dislike the most! First of all when you first apply this to your lips there's a really strong detergent kind of smell and it lingers on your lips even after you peel it off. Also the colour didn't transfer onto my top lips so I ended up with an orange bottom lip but a colourless top lip (not awkward at all!?). The picture made it look better than it actually was - in real life it was a really gross bright yellowish orange. Probably the worst colour in the collection with a disgusting smell. I really wouldn't recommend this shade at all! 

Pure Pink

On a better note, this shade is probably my favourite out of the six shades. 'Pure Pink' is a really pretty rouge pink! This one was probably the only shade that transferred properly onto both my upper and lower lips with an even application. As you can see in the picture it does look way better with a gloss on top because it can look a bit dry without it. 

Bubble Pink 

The second last shade in the set! Bubble pink is really similar to Pure pink but I guess in real life, it's a bit more red and darker than Pure Pink, a nice fuschia pink. Also, for some reason, this particular shade doesn't transfer very well on the top lip (similar to Lovely peach, but not as obvious) - this also happened to my friend who bought this set as well! So if you're going to wear this shade, make sure you apply a bit more of the product on the top lip to make sure that when you peel it off, you're not left with colour on your bottom lip but nothing on the top. This shade also turned quite patchy after two hours of wear (Not sure if it was because i didn't wait long enough to peel it off or it's just the shade?)

Sexy Red

The last shade in this set is Sexy Red which is meant to be a vampy kind of red. It's a slightly darker version of virgin red but less vibrant and red. The consistency of this particular colour when you squeeze it out of the tube is a bit different to the others as well. It's slightly thicker, less runny and less sticky than the other shades making it the easiest to apply on the lips. This particular tint also smells really good!! However, because the colour in the tube is a quite dark, after you finish peeling, I found that I was left with some left over specks of black which made my lips look weird. Other than that, this is quite a nice colour. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verdict 

Packaging 

♥ ♥  ♥ ♥ / 5

To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of the squeezy tubes, it's really hard to control the product when you squeeze it out and hard to evenly apply it to the lips. Also it gets very messy after you finish using it. The outside packaging is quite cute though, I think it's true to the colour of the gel that's in the tube but not true to the colour of the actual tint after you peel the gel off. I quite like the black box that it comes with as well, making it look expensive package. 

Price 

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥  / 5 

After researching, StyleKorean is definitely the cheapest place that you can buy these lip tints for. Most korean online stores sells each tube for around $10AUD whereas StyleKorean sells six of them in a pack for only $25AUD (+Shipping) equating each tube to cost around $4 each!!!! It's really a great deal to buy it from StyleKorean unless you're looking to only buy one particular shade from the collection. 

Performance 

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥  / 5 

Most shades were long lasting except for Bubble Pink which for some reason didn't last very long on my lips even though I didn't eat much on that day. Other than that, I wore Pure pink when I was doing the Fire Noodle Challenge and it managed to last until the end even though I kept wiping my lips :P The only thing I don't like about these lip tints is that sometimes if you don't apply it properly, the tint can come out patchy and there's nothing you can do about it because it has stained your lips already. And also, when it does wear off, it wears off patchy so it can make your lips look a bit awkward. 

Pros 

- Cheap 

- Long lasting colours 

- Bright shades

- Wide Shade Selection 

- Available on most online Korean websites 

- Sexy Red smells really good 

- Contains a lot of product in each tube 

Cons 

- May turn out patchy/Wear off making your lips look patchy

- Can be quite drying on the lips

- Time Consuming 

- Gets messy 

- Once it's on your lips, it's hard to remove

- The smell (each tube has a different smell, most of them are bearable except for lovely peach)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope you all found this post helpful and informative! It took me forever to try on each lip tint and my lips were so dead after trying to scrub off virgin red the other day *_*!!! I do recommend Pure Pink, Bubble Pink and Sexy Red, as they were my favourite colours out of the whole pack. If you've tried these before, tell me what you think of them down in the comment section below, I'd love to know!! And if you haven't bought these yet, I hope this post has helped you decide whether or not you want to try these :)

Review | Maybelline Baby Lips Electropop in Berry Bomb ♥

Hi Everyone!!

Hope everyone has been having a great week! It's sad to say that it's already the end of the week which means I have to go back to uni again on Monday T_T But luckily three more weeks and that'll be the end of my first year of uni (SUPER EXCITED!~)

It's been awhile since I've done a product review, mainly because I haven't really bought anything new since I've been trying to save up and constraining myself from walking into Mecca >_~ But this was a product that I've really been interested in trying ever since i saw one of my friends wearing it. Her name is Anna and she does blogging and youtubing too (feel to free to check out her Youtube channel Acaibeautyroom and on blogger) At first I was like, why in the world is this girl wearing purple lipstick... but as she put this product on her lips I was surprised that the colour was in fact not purple at all but turns into a really nice natural pink colour. When I saw this product on sale at Priceline, I knew I had to get my hands on it and try it out! 

Brand: Maybelline 

Name: Baby Lips Electropop 

Price: $1.98 AUD (half price sale at Priceline)

Weight: 3.6 grams

Shade: Berry Bomb 

Where to purchase: You can buy this almost everywhere in Sydney incl. Woolworth, Coles, Priceline, Big W, Target, Kmart, Discount Chemist (Priceline and Discount Chemist usually has the half price sales though!!)

I remember using the original Maybelline Baby Lips back when i was in high school and I used to love it because it smelt amazing, was moisturising and has sleek packaging. However, the actual balm of the original baby lips only had a small diameter so it took longer to moisturise the whole lip. With the Electropop versions, the diameter of the actual lip balm is like a lipstick so it doesn't take as much time and fits the size of my lips a lot better!! In this range, they have three colours but in Priceline and Discount Chemist I've only ever seen them sold in two shades - Berry Bomb and Oh! Orange (Berry Bomb being the most popular shade that I see being sold in stores). However at K-mart I did spot the pink version in Pink Chock which was pretty surprising and I would love to try it out one day. 

I don't usually read the claims of products but this lip balm claims to have Sheer colour and shine, 8 hrs continous moisture and a clinical strength lip balm. 

I have to say the best thing about this product is that it provides colour to the lips. I am probably the laziest person you'll ever meet when it comes to wearing lipstick. Ain't nobody got time to touch up lipstick during the day so this product COMES IN HANDY. It provides a lot of moisture to the lips which is great because my lips are always really dry and chappy. On top of that, if you apply a few coats of this lip balm and wait for a minute, colour will slowly develop and you'll end up with a really nice pink lip without any effort whatsoever. Now although Berry Bomb should be a purple shade, i reckon it comes out more like a pinkish red colour instead of purple (Refer to the swatches and demo below~)... which makes me wonder what colour Pink Chock would be . 

Anyways, in regards to the claim, I don't think it really gives you moisturised lips for 8 hours, probably only 2 hours or so before you start feeling your lips become dry again. It's not to hard to touch up though because you use it like a lip balm so no mirrors required when you apply this on (super handy hey?)

All three versions of this lip balm comes in a black windable tube with a clear plastic lid that allows you to see what shade you're using. The picture above shows how much product is in a new tube of the lip balm. You get 3.8g of lip balm which is fairly decent for the price you pay. It may not look like a lot but unless you use it like crazy throughout the day, it should last you for a while. It's not too expensive to replace anyway if you go through a tube quickly. I like to stock up during sales as you can see i have a couple of these ready to go. My mum got so curious about this product she even went and bought one herself hehe~ 

It seriously an amazing product at such an affordable price. I personally think the original price for the product is super affordable but I just prefer to buy things when they're on sale (lol so asian i know). The only thing that I would complain about in this product is the smell. If you're not a fan of strong scents on your lip product, you may not like this lip balm. It has a really strong artificial berry/cherry scent but once you use it a few more times, you kind of get used to it. 

As I mentioned earlier, the electropop line also offers an orange colour. My sister bought it during the sales but she didn't like the strong scent and so she gave it to me to try out. I feel like the colour isn't as vibrant as the purple version but it's still very moisturising and gives a nice beigy orange tint to the lips. Make sure for this shade that you don't have dry patches because for some reason it will accentute it - strange because it didn't happen with the purple version. With the purple version, any dry patches could be easily smoothed out and instantly looked moisturised? So I guess if you have dry lips go for the purple one but if you have smooth lips all the time, you can try the orange shade. 


Swatches 

Top 2 shades - Berry Bomb
Bottom 2 shades - Oh! Orange

Demo 

Purple Version - Instantly moisturises and soothes dry chapped lips!! Amazing results 

Orange Version - turns out more like a beige nude colour but still really pretty(sorry for the bad quality photo~)

Verdict ♥

Packaging:  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ / 5 

The packaging isn't too bad because it's the same size as a regular lipstick but compared to the original baby lips, it's a bit bulkier. However, as I mentioned earlier, the bigger size comes with a bigger lip balm diamter which fits the size of my lips a lot better. I also do like the lid that they use for this verison because it's easier to take off and put on compared to the original baby lips which came with a super tiny lid that I would often drop onto the floor and it would bounce and dissapear (Has that happened to any of you before??) >_< 

Price:  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ / 5  

It's so affordable, especially when it's on sale! Less than $2 for the tube that lasts a few months!! I do recommend checking when there are sales for Maybelline which is the best time to stock up on these . 

Performance:  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ / 5 

I seriously love everything about this product (except for the smell). I love how it's moisturising, glides on easily, doesn't slip and slide on the lips and gives a colour payoff that lasts for a few hours. 

Pros: 

• Easy to use 
• Affordable 
• Great for lazy people who don't like to wear lipstick 
• Good colour payoff 
• Locks in moisture --> Doesn't slip and slide off the lips
• The lid is easy to use (less likely to lose the lid compared to original baby lips)

Cons:

• Smell 
• Colour Range not available everywhere 
• Lack of colour range - I think in America they have more shades :(
• Bulkier packaging compared to original Baby Lips 
• The orange version accentuates dry patches on the lips 

So that's all for today's reviw. Hope you all enjoyed learning a little bit more about The Maybelline Baby Lips Electropop and my thoughts on it. If you've ever tried this lip balm before, feel free to leave your thoughts about this product because I'd love to know!!
