Tony Moly Delight tony tint Review

Hello~~ 
Who's been watching 
you who came from the stars/my love from another star
??
Well Ive been watching it and Im on episode 17 HAHA yeah I know Im so slow 
-________-
But anyway, Jeon Ji Hyun uses this particular tint in the drama and it looked soo good.
I was gifted this tint and Im so glad I was gifted it cause its the most phenomenal red color!
 So thats what the tint looks like!
Jeon Ji Hyun wore this tint in episode 4!
This was such a funny part HAHAHAHA
Anyway as you can see its a very bright neutral red without any blue or orange undertones which is really important cause that means that lots of skin tones will be able to pull this color off without any problems! So if your new to red or want to try a red that you know will look good on you, try out this tint!
Guys! The packaging is so sleek and looks really glamorous but its still so cute with this heart top lid! 
Hehe
Im such a sucker for subtly cute packaging and I think tony moly does the 'subtly cute' packaging best where the packaging isnt overwhelmingly cute like etude but not boring like missha. So it appeals to teens as well as mature ladies.
Its a gel type tint and The texture is similar to the missha aqua gel tint but not sticky at all.
Its also similar to the Etude house dear darling tints in the sense that they are both gel formulas.
I give big props to tints with doe foot applicators such as this one rather than brush tip applicators which is possibly the worst type of applicator for tints and I explain why in my lollitint review if you guys are interested. Anyway, its a nice shape and size for the lips and dispenses a good amount of product.
This is one swipe!! EXTREME pigmentation! And so buildable because it doesnt feel heavy at all!
OMG guys I cant get over the pigmentation of this product. This is what makes this product so unique, The etude house dear darling is patchy and applies uneven.
I definitely recommend Korean tints over western tints like the benefit benetint etc.

 FINAL THOUGHTS
overall I love this product because...
high pigmentation
cute yet sleek packaging
long lasting (6~7 hours without eating)
price! ($6~7USD)
neutral red
lots of product
not bulky packaging

YOU may dislike this product because...
it can be slightly drying later in the day, so make sure you use/carry  lip balm

Thanks for reading guys~

Comparison between Porefessional and Baby Skin

Welcome to the battle of the primers!
This is a battle between the 
Benefit Porefessional
&
Maybelline Baby skin pore eraser
The benefit prefessional has been a favorite for ages because of its silky texture and pore vanishing features
The porefessional has an exceptional lasting time and also makes the makeup on top last long too!
 It has no greasy feeling
 BUT
 if you have dry skin like me it may dry out your skin just a bit, i also use Mac strobe cream underneath this primer whenever I use it.
I like using benefit porefessional by itself rather than using it under my makeup because my foundation or BB cream I use on top becomes quite matte. But when I use it by itself it balances the dewyness of my Mac strobe-cream which is extremely dewy and creates a flawless poreless effect.
Another thing that bugs me is the scent.
its a strong florally scent that you can smell after you have applied it.
Sometimes I enjoy the scent but... most of the time its too strong.
This primer is perfect for people with dry skin like me because I can 'feel' the primer on my face so when i use makeup on top it glides on but the porefessional almost disappears into my skin and the makeup doesnt glide on as well it does when I use the baby skin.
this primer has a pore BLURRING effect but the porefessional has a pore VANISHING effect so I like using this primer with makeup on top.
Baby skin: 22mls
Benefit porefessional: 20mls
The baby skin primer has 2mls more product but much cheaper.
baby skin ranges from 6~12 dollars depending on where you get it.
so if your on a budget definitely pick up the baby skin because it has better qualities but it still lacks some of the qualities the porefessional has but they're both as good as each other.
yes! we are still talking about the differences. 
This isnt a big deal but the actual packaging for baby skin is so much more stable then porefessional, I find the bottle of porefessional is really flimsy and sometimes when im unscrewing the lid the bottle twists up and Im so scared itll rip cause its so soft.
but the baby skin bottle is quite sturdy but still soft enough to squeeze!
The translucent swatch is the baby skin
The skintone swatch is porefessional
poresfessional has no coverage despite the skintone color.
The texture of both of these primers are VERY different so i was confused to hear people say that the baby skin was a complete dupe....
I had the baby skin before it came out in the US because I got it in korea and I ddnt think it was that special so I think hype for products make products better then they actually are, cause even I feel like the baby skin is so much better than when I first purchased it.
Final Thoughts:
 both primers definitely hide your pores really well without clogging them and makes your skin feel smooth and soft all while being light weight!
Keeps your makeup on fore really long 
Porefessional keeps me matte longer than baby skin
but baby skin is better for my dry skin
PRICE DIFFERENCE!
scent or scentLESS? which do you guys prefer? comment down below!
Packaging, baby skin feels more stronger.
If I could only choose to use one or the other which primer would it be....
I actually have no idea because the result is the same so really this is a battle between textures, if you have dry skin like me i suggest baby skin and if you have oily combo go to porefessional! Both of these primers have really great things about them! I dont know which one to choose but I guess
...
 Ill go for the baby skin primer!
BUT I STILL LOVE MY POREFESSIONAL!
such a hard decision...
These were MY personal opinions but I want to know what you guys think!
Comment down below and tell me which primer you like better or if you guys havent tried the baby skin or the porefessional what primers have you tried that you swear by!

Thanks for reading!





Benefit: Lollitint Review & Swatches ♡

Hello~ Today I'm bringing you guys a review of the 
Benefit Lollitint
Theres this annoying gash in the word 'lolli' please ignore it :(
Anyway, first thing i noticed the box is so huge compared to the tint itself. it doesnt bother me but I know there might be a few people who might get bothered by it.
the packaging of the tint is so pretty and cute! Its a candy orchid holographic bottle with a white lid, I really want to get cha cha and posie so I can display them! 
The holographic-ness looks sooo pretty!
Anyway! On to the actual product review.
The tint has a brush tip applicator and honestly I hate it!
I have to use a cotton bud to apply it on my lips, cause the brush tip is so flimsy and applies the tint really patchy. i also have to use my fingers to work the product into my lips but when i use tints with doe foot applicators it presses(?) the product into my lips without me having to use my fingers. But when I use lollitint it applies the int on my lips but its just sitting on my lips..... This is why I prefer tints with doe foots applicators
Candy orchid pink is going to be in for spring time!
So get your hands on lollitint quick!
The first swatch is a wet swatch right after I applied the tint
The second swatch is a swatch but left to dry and the excess wiped off 
And the larger third swatch is the tint applied to my fingers then blended in immediately.
speaking of immediately, I dont suggest dotting it on your cheeks then blending it in when you use this as a cheek stain because it will a stain that resembles the 2nd swatch so be careful!
and that aint cute.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Really pretty color
Dont like the applicator
Sightly bulky packaging
long lasting time: 4~6hours if you dont eat!
Lots of product
tolerable scent and taste...
amazing pigmentation!
perfect for 2014 spring

Bubbi Brush Review ♡

Hi guys! Extremely excited to show you guys my Bubbi Brushes!
They came in the mail a few days ago and now I finally have a chance to blog about them!
 I decided to get the essentials kit and another individual brush, the 
HD flawless brush!
The packaging is super cute! And especially the essentials kit~ I really love the packaging for that :)
Everything including shipping costed around 70USD so its a really great deal because the quality is freaking amazing for every brush!
After you slide out the box, a tray of brushes come out and as you can see, there 6 brushes- 3 face, 3 eye brushes. But 2 of them are dual ended so there are 8 :)
 This is the 
Bubbi Powder Brush
As you can see the name of the brush is etched in so it wont come off!
I think its really cute to have the name of the brush on the brush. Comment below what you think because some people don't actually it! 
It so nice and soft~ Its big and fluffy, nothing special except for the fact that its really soft :D
I dont know if you can see in this side view picture but the brush is paddle shaped, so its nice to pat powder on your face :) I use this brush for mainly powder but you could use it for blush and bronzer etc :)
Btw this brush has never shed on me so YAY
This is the 
Bubbi Sculping Brush
This is my favorite brush! The sculpting brush is pretty much a one stop brush!
Its dense enough to use for cream and liquid formulations.
but you can also use it for contouring because of the angled top! so pretty much, you can do anything with this brush!
Again you probably cant tell from this picture, but its dense so when you try to pull the bristles like ^this^ it doesn't work as well as a powder brush.
I dont have one myself, but this brush could be compared to the sigma face brushes :)
This is the final face brush
Bubbi Dual Brush
I don't use foundation and concealer so I haven't tried this brush out, but I believe its streak free.
 Heres the bigger side :)
And this is the concealer side
Its like this for both ends, but the brush feathers out really well, so its soft on the skin and this is probably why its streak-free
Now for the Eye brushes!
The Bubbi Dual Eyes brush
The fluffy end is so soft! And blends shadows perfectly!
And the pencil side is nice dense so it good for the lower lash line
 Close up!
Close up!
The shader brush
is good for packing color on the lid
Also really soft!
This is a side view, Its actually flat but it looks kind of fluffy 
 My favorite eye brush is the
Bubbi detail brush! 
It's really small and teeny so its great for reaching the inner corners with precision!
I also use this brush for gel liner! :)
 This is the
Bubbi HD Flawless Brush
Its the separate brush I bought for about 10~11USD
 The top is nice and flat, the area it covers is small but it doesn't take long to o your whole face with this brush, Its also great for reaching the corners of your nose etc
 The brush is nice and soft and DENSE so its great for fuller coverage products
What I like to do with this brush, is when I use a fuller coverage product I spritz some face mist to sheer it out and help with the blending :)
Its also angled :)
Here's a picture of all the brushes together :)
I really cant find anything bad about these brushes! 
The essentials kit is perfect for beginners like me, and trust me. Once you buy this set you wont be using any of your older brushes haha :)

Hope you enjoyed
Thanks for reading everyone!

Etude House Kissful Tint Choux ♡

Hi guys! Im reviewing the 
Etude house kissful tint choux
#04 Tangerine Choux
 The Packaging changed over time and now its adorable!
Heres the back
It has all the info and stuffs
Its a squeezy tube, but I dunno if its because its cold here in NZ but in other reviews the consistency looks liquidy but mine is paste-y and quite thick but melts easily on my lips and absorbs into my lips
Heres the tip!
The color is a soft pink with a hint of orange/coral
See what I mean by paste-y and thick? Its sort of solid until you press down on it and blend. Its kind of hard to get the product out as well
Despite the name being "Tangerine Choux" the color is quite pink which sort of put me off this product, but I still love it!
After the tint has been blended its a soft pink and also glossy!
After the gloss fades the color still stains the lips~ Which is what I love about this tint :)


Final Thoughts:
I definitely recommend as the tint is long lasting (4~6 hours)
Cheap (6.90USD)
Has nice color pay off!
Great texture- Light and not sticky
DELICIOUS SMELL :)
I really cant find anything bad about this tint BUT if i had to say something bad, the product doesn't come out very well. But it doesn't bother me

Rating:

5/5

Thanks for reading!
