Moonshot Honey Coverlet Eye Shadow Palette Review

Today I will be reviewing the eye palette that I have been eyeing from the day it came out. This year Moonshot did a collaboration with the famous and beautiful actress Yoo In Na, she is the second lead of famous Korean drama Goblin if you remember. This limited edition collection is called ‘Honey Coverlet’ which came out on 13 September 2018 and contains the eyeshadow palette, 10 lipstick which has 2 different finishes and foundation. I am a huge fan of Yoo In Na and Moonshot and secondly, it is a first palette ever moonshot came out with so I have to get it for sure.

Review: Missha Moist Layering Starter Gold Topping

Missha Moist Layering Starter Gold Topping Review

Lately, I have been testing out a lot of primers so here is the one I am reviewing today. This Missha product is named as a starter and they introduced actually three different starters/ primers this year which is part of this collection and this is the one which attracts me the most. The other two are for pores blurring and for the brightening. It took me quite some time to review this Missha gold topping starter as I want to see how it performs especially in winter and my thoughts about this product haven’t changed much.

Review: BBIA Last Lip Mousse II (MLBB)



 BBIA Last Lip Mousse II Review

I am feeling so blessed and I really wanna thank all of the people who have supported me to get to 10 thousand followers on Instagram finally. I know it may be not a huge number for some people but it’s a HUGE deal for me and it was a long journey and I totally enjoyed it, I made so many friends and discover the beauty of the ABcommunity. I really wanna know why many Koreans love BBIA, I personally love how they exhibit their brand. BBIA can be bought online only and does not have any physical stores, basically, you can call them a Colourpop of Korea. BBIA is one of the most loving brand among the Koreans for their lip products, glitters and blushes and contours.

Review: Benton Tea Tree Mist (renewal of Benton Honest TT mist)


Today I am going to review the Benton Tea Tree Mist which was known as Benton Honest TT mist, Benton recently introduces the large spray bottle with the name changing to Benton Tea Tree mist from Honest TT mist. Both of the mist has the same formulation and ingredients, but now you are getting the double from the Honest TT mist quantity. They also changed the whole packaging which I will be talking in detail below. I have already done the mini review on the Honest TT mist on my Instagram but I think it’s better to do a little comparison between the new Benton Tea Tree Mist and the old  Honest TT mist.

Review: CLIO Pro Tinted Veil Blusher + Swatches

Clio Pro Tinted Veil Blusher Review and Swatches

Today I will be reviewing the Clio Pro Tinted Veil Blusher, I don’t know why I am always scared of cream blushes but yeah sometimes they can be totally mess for me and I know there are many people out there who can relate to me especially when the cream blush wants to remove the foundation you spend your last hour on to apply (uhhh the real nightmare). As I love Clio cushions I dare to try their cream blushes because 80 percent of the time Clio’s killed it. (For me at least..)

Review: Innisfree Extreme UV protection stick outdoor and It’s Skin UV Layer Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++


Innisfree Extreme UV protection stick outdoor and It’s Skin UV Layer Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ Review

Today I will be reviewing the new beauty trend that hit hard this summer in Korea and that are sun sticks, I know they have been around for a while but not many people or brands are into them before 2018. Many brands came with the new formulated and lightweight sunscreens which feels less waxy on the skin and are more comfortable. I don’t think there is the Famous Korean brand which hasn’t own their Sun Stick. Today I am reviewing the two of the newly released Sun sticks. There are some brands which you can always trust with your skin, for me its Innisfree so yes I have to try their Sun stick as well I heard always that It’s skin is underrated brand internationally so I am also going to be trying their sun stick.

AUGUST JOAH BOX



I got the August Joah Box which contains some of these products which include the Korean skincare and makeup.
As they sent the skincare products according to the different skin types. What makes me happy is that they add the pamphlet to make sure that you get all the details about the products you are getting in your monthly box with the extra Joah tips which makes it so easy for the beginners even.

I got both TRE-HY 8.0 and Cool Night Peel-off Mask by Chica Y Chico but if one has Dry skin then you would have got the TRE-HY 8.0 cream and if you need something to tone up and soothe your skin you would have got Cool Night Peel-off Mask.

CHICA Y CHICO COOL NIGHT PEEL-OFF MASK




Starting with the Chica Y Chico Cool Night Peel-off Mask which is formulated with three kinds of mint, aloe vera extracts, green tea leaf, wheat sprout and Centella asiatica extracts to help in gentle exfoliation, soothing, tightening the pores, removing the excess oil and blackheads from the skin.

First Impression Of The Chica Y Chico Cool Night Peel-off Mask



Personally, I am not a huge fan of peel off mask but I have used it once and I have to say that it really cools down the skin and really helps in calming the skin. If you have sensitive skin make sure to patch test it first as some people cannot stand the cooling sensation it provides but I personally love it as I love skin coolers and ice rollers. It peels off really nicely I didn’t feel any pain which I was scared about it came off easily. For now, it is what I am going to use for summers, definitely going on my skincare shelf.
If you have sensitive skin it’s better to use it once in or week or after 8-10 days.

CHICA Y CHICO TR- HY8.0 CREAM



This cream is designed for dry skin to combination skin and contains the 8 percent of trehalose which relieves the dryness quickly. TRE-HY8.0 provides the triple coat deep moisturizing and extreme hydration effect with the help of Trehalose, hyaluronic Acid, and ceramide which keeps the skin moist and smooth.

First Impression Of The Chica Y Chico TR- HY8.0 Cream



Okay as you guys know that I use the retinoid treatment which makes my skin flaky and dry out the skin easily so I give this one a try for two days and dang I am surprised how this cream does not feel heavy for the function it performs. It’s more of gel cream which provides the amazing amount of hydration and makes the skin super soft and smooth. I will defiantly be doing the full detailed review on this one. These cream treatments by Chica Y Chico was actually on my wishlist so I am happy to try one of them.

PRRETI HONEY AND BERRY LIP SLEEPI MASK



Balsam Mask saves even the most weather-beaten and dry lips. It contains acacia honey, vitamin C, Betaine , trehalose and anti-oxidants rich in berry complex which helps in moisturize, protect the skin from the outer environment and revitalizes the tried skin while sleeping.

Review: Prreti Honey and Berry Lip Sleeping Mask



I am a huge fan of sleeping masks in general and secondly I am watching many people using Prreti products on the social media so I wanted to try their products. Finally here I am trying one and that a lip sleeping mask, this one came in the tub and has a thick slimy consistency which can be describe as honey texture as it contains the honey. I have tried it and I like the way it sits on the skin and gives more kind of glossy finish but I haven’t wowed by it yet. I will update on this soon but for now, it’s an okay product which moisturize the skin.

CHICA Y CHICO MATTE POWDER


mint

No more white cast, soft and retouch makeup! Blur pores, control shine, and tone down redness with the Chica Y Chico Matte Powder. This multi-tasking powder perfects the skin in a single swipe, flawlessly smoothing over pores while absorbing excess oil to keep your skin looking fresh and your makeup in place This powder came in 2 different colors pink and mint, I got the mint as I have redness to cancel out that while pink one helps in tone up the skin.

Review: Chica Y Chico Matte Powder


mint


I have been eyeing for this cute litter loose powder for a while now and I am glad that somehow I end up trying this thanks to JoahBox. This is definitely is a winner for me, I think I will prefer more over the Innisfree no sebum powder, it is very finely milled powder with the matte finish. It also really helps with the blurring out the pores and smoothing out the texture of the skin. It does not provide much of white cast but just a little bit which helps in canceling out the redness. 

mint

swatches

Overall hands down my favorite product from August Joahbox.


KARADIUM FULLMOON MATTE PENCIL




Adheres well to the skin and express the vivid and clear color. I t has a velvety texture which moisturize the skin and protect them from outer environment and also fits lightly without stickiness. JoahBox has the nude and neutral shades which can be worn by anyone. This range actually has six colors to choose from.

Review: Karadium Fullmoon Matte Pencil

coral moonlight

I got it in the shade #06 coral moonlight which can be simply defined as a brick red with a hint of coral, it is nicely pigmented, soft and easy to work with. This shade was also the editor pick so I am overall happy with this different yet totally wearable shade in my collection. This has velvet finish to it and adheres nicely to the lips but it can be little clingy on the dry areas and can make them more prominent so make sure to moisturize your lips before applying it. It’s more of a crayon pencil than just a lip pencil.
coral moonlight

06


coral moonlight swatches

Overall it has a nice sleek packaging the product itself lasts quite a long time and does not feel much on the lips. It really reminds me of the Mamonde creamy tint color balm intense which I love.

AHC PREMIUM COTTON MASK FIRMING



sheet mask

Made by 100 percent natural cotton, soft and light weighted contains 93% of the mild essence of the naturally occurring ingredients.
I haven’t used it yet but it really seems like an interesting and promising mask. I will do the review on the Instagram soon.

Overall my experience with Joahbox was really great, they provide the very friendly and quick customer services. I am happy with my August Joah Box and all the claims they make, they surely fit to that standards.

Review : Leegeehaam Tea Tree 70 BHA Toner

 Leegeehaam Tea Tree 70 BHA Toner Review
Lately I have seen that every single brand is coming with more AHA and BHA products and I haven’t seen any physical exfoliator lately which I am personally happy about as my skin does not react to the physical exfoliator and s chemical exfoliators are more gentle and goes well with my sensitive skin. I got a chance to try the Leegeehaam Grow Tea Tree 70 BHA toner which is specially designed for the people with the acne prone and sensitive skin and I am all about that .

You Need To Get This New Etude House Concealer Now!


Etude House Big Cover Skin Fit Concealer Pro Review

I think base products are very important as they create the canvas, even your eyeshadows are not pigmented or so but you can work with them but when it comes to base makeup according to me it represents 70-80 percent of your whole look. I have acne prone skin so that means I also have scars as well and I mostly get to cover them pretty goodly and all thanks to great Korean skincare products and base products. Summer and humidity are really killing the skin so i am trying to avoid the foundations in general and reaching for concealers more yeah you can say I am on my way to 'foundation free' 
journey.

Purito Centella Green Level Calming Toner and Centella Green Level Eye Cream review 

You guys know I love centella asiatica and one of my favorite brand is purito ad honestly I haven’t tried any product from their brand which disappoints me. I recently tried their Centella Green Level Calming Toner and Centella Green Level Eye Cream. I haven’t tried the all the products by their Centella green level line yet but I have already reviewed the Purito Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad  so you can check it out.

MY THOUGHTS



Purito Centella Green Level Calming Toner 

Starting with the toner first let me say I have been reaching for this Purito centellla toner nonstop lately seriously I am half way through it already. The packaging is sleek and simple as usual, I love the green color of the bottle, and it is simply perfect to me. It has a stopper with the hole on the top which helps in dispensing the right amount of product without wasting the product. The bottle contains 200 ml of product. The toner contains 10 percent of centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid which is my skin first preference most of the time. It also contains the panthenol, portulaca extract and witch hazel.

You can use it in various ways , First one is you can use it with cotton pad and then pat a little bit of toner on the skin to sooth the skin. You can do a DIY with it where you can add as a solution in the compressed sheet mask. Third one you can fix the broken powder makeup with it, which I did and it works. Lastly you can use it as mist by taking the certain amount of ratio in consideration. For light mist, take the 2 portions of oil and 8 portions of toner. For heavy oil in 4 portions and toner in 6 portions and to create a makeup and dirt remover take 5:5 of both oil and toner. I haven’t tried all of theses but the one that I have tried work great.

Purito Centella Green Level Calming Toner 

Purito Centella Green Level Calming Toner Review

I love that it has a mild centella asiatica powdery scent to it. The consistency can be define as liquidy but thicker than the water. The toner is transparent and absorbs into the skin easily leaving the skin hydrated, soothe and little but moisturized. It does tackle with the dry skin very nicely. The Purito centella green level calming toner can be used by any skin type because it has very nice consistency and texture which will work for oily skin as well as dry skin. I personally have acne prone sensitive skin and I loved how it soothes my skin and reduce the redness and helps with irritated skin. When my skin is feeling super dry it jut layer it on few times and it works, I have fixed the broken eye shadow with it which turns out nicely which I didn’t expect to be honest. My personal way to apply the centella toner is directly pat it on with the hands but you can do what suits you the most.
Purito Centella Green Level Calming Toner Review

This is definitely one of my favorite toner of this year so far, It is super gentle on the skin and it works to calm down the skin.

MY THOUGHTS

PURITO Centella Green Level Eye Cream Review

Purito centella green level eye cream
came in a white plastic tube which I personally prefer mostly as it is more hygienic than the products that came in tub or jar form. It’s my first time trying the centella containing eye cream and I am glad I did! I don’t know why but Purito products works amazing for me. Purito eye cream contains 30 ml of product and has pointy dispenser. I smells amazing and does have a mild Bergamot oil scent.The centella cream is not that viscous and absorbs into the skin after gently patting. It really cool down the area around the eyes and feels super hydrating and moisturizing as it contains the 49 percent of centella asiatica other good ingredients like palmitoyl peptide complex, asiaticoside, Asiatic acid and madecassic acid. You know there are some products which feels good on the skin, this is what it is, and it does not feel heavy and actually give the result.
