MUSES TOP PICKS FOR SUMMER: PEACH TONE BLUSHER


Eloha my pretty babies!

As we all know that.. some parts of the world are welcoming summer
but for some reason, in here, rain still pouring.
But that doesnt stop me from giving you my personal choices or tips ;)

Today, well lately, i have been loving peach color tones.
Yes, it could be to the orange-y side or the pink-ish side or maybe the perfect peach tone.

I decided to share with you some of the products i love and they are from my personal collection ;)
All these products can be found in malls or online shop ;)

For online shop, i did most of my shopping with
Mirielle Beaute
TWL Cosmetics

and as for sleek, kindly check mooishe.com
(not sure if they have this colors)

but if you have any other personal choice on where to buy them :) kindly buy them there.


I am sharing you my top picks for peach tones blushers.


L-R: TONYMOLY CRYSTAL JELLY, ETUDE HOUSE CUPCAKE ALL OVER COLOR, ETUDE HOUSE WATER COLOR BLUSHER, SILKY GIRL BLUSH HOUR, SLEEK MAKEUP BLUSH AND ELF BAKED BLUSH

#1. TONYMOLY CRYSTAL JELLY CHEEK POT #01

Alright, you know that this is my favorite brand for Korean makeup :) 
The reason why i love this brand, their color pigmentation (although soft) is great, giving off such a nice soft natural color ;) This blusher has a cream texture but the best thing is, it has a great pigmentation and giving off soft flush on the cheeks.


#2 ETUDE HOUSE SWEET RECIPE CUPCAKE ALL OVER COLOR #02

Well, with this one here, it is a multi function product, it can be used for eyes, lips and cheeks but i am keeping it to my cheeks :) This for me has the perfect shade of soft peach! and what is even better, i never have luck with Etude's product in their pigmentation but this one says otherwise :)


#3 ETUDE HOUSE WATER COLOR BLUSHER #2

If i mention above the color is pigmented, and my not-so-good luck with Etude,
this product right here has even a better higher pigmentation! You need a tiny bit for the cheeks :D
trust me, i learned the hard way haha


#4 SILKYGIRL BLUSH HOUR #1

I have been eyeing this product for quite sometimes and i think this is the cheapest amongst the other, so if you are in a tight budget, i do recommend this one. Not only it has the perfect soft peachy pink color, but for the price, it gives off a great pigmentation :) 


#5 SLEEK MAKEUP BLUSH #926

Now, this is probably the pricy-est one among the other but it should be a low cost product in the UK.
Honestly, i think the money i spent on this product is super worth it. Sleek has a great image for their pigmentation in their product. And as you can see below, it does has a great and high pigmentation!

I know this isnt exactly peach but i cant not insert this blusher here!
I love the golden rosy peachy color :D


#6 ELF BAKED BLUSH #PEACHY CHEEKY

Last but not least, I heard this is the dupe for MAC.
Although in the picture it only shows "almost white" but trust me
as soon as you applied it onto your cheeks, you can see a soft peach color.
Pigmentation is alright, but always can layer it up!


Here are the swatches :D




alright, as for the longevity, i cant really say much because i tend to do touch up :P
but in terms of pigmentation, most of them have pigmentation that i am happy with.
I am not much bothered with the texture as long as it has a great color on my cheeks.

what are your favorite peachy tone blushers?
share them with me, maybe i might buy them :P



ps: like my new disclaimer?

REVIEW: 3CE (CONCEPT EYES) LIP PIGMENT #MINK BEIGE & #ELECTRO PINK

elo everybodeh!

Recently, i have been obsessed with Korean brand cosmetics and
i found this product.

I was unsure about it because of the price but then i decided to buy it haha :P

Now.. why did i buy it?
hmm well, i dont own any of these type of lip product before, so this is a new product for me to test and i have a good feeling because since this is a pigment, it should be super pigmented on my lips!

and i recently got addicted watching stylenanda :P


The packaging:

Okeh, so the packaging, it came with the outer box but i threw it away.
So, lets see the product packaging itself shall we?

Few people told me that this product is similar to OCC Lip Tar, but i never used it so i cant really give you the comparison :P

The product packaging comes in a tube like this *pic below*
I love this type of packaging, so easy to use and to squeeze the product out and of course hygienic. 

I actually love the logo and the style of the design, it is not feminine but it is edgy slightly?


At the back of the product, it has the name and a few other information i assume in korean language but since i cant read korean, i have no idea what it says except for the name of the color :P

and at the bottom on the packaging, they have the the strip of the color. 



This is what it looks like when you open the cap.
It has a tiny long tube and i love the tiny opening or gap at the end of the tube to allow the pigments to come out in small amount, i dont want to waste the product :P


The color swatches and everything:

Here are the two colors i purchased, yet i still have well more like longing and wanting to purchase 2 more colors but im holding myself not to buy it. 

I bought in pink and natural colors so that i can wear them in two separate ways,
you know, if i wanna go for nude, then i go for the Mink Beige or feeling girly, i would go for the Electro Pink one :P

The texture of this product is actually not super creamy. It is light weight and it absorb into the skin really quickly! You wont feel cakey or coated on the lips :P

The pigmentation is high because in the picture below, i apply a tiny bit onto my lips and it covered all giving out the bright pink or nude look straight away :)

so if i want to go for crazy bold look, i can add a few layers more :P


However, this product doesnt have any moisturizer in it, well i dont think it has since it is a pigment, so i have to add my own lipgloss or lipbalm afterwards.

If you love the matte look for lips, i do recommend this product.


And the scent, i dont think it has any scent and that is the best part!
Most lip products tend to have this certain scent but for this one, i can barely remember it though.



and those pictures above are the ones with each color on my lips,
lets see when you mixed these two up!

the picture below shows the color :D
kinda pinky peachy.


and how it looks on my lips :)
the mink beige toned down the electro pink
giving such a nice and natural pink.

I think i can make it more peachy by adding more beige :P


and ta-da!
me getting ready to go out.




that is all for today's review!
Hope it helps you and if you use this before, let me know what you think!

REVIEW: ELF CONTOURING BLUSH & BRONZING POWDER #ST LUCIA


Did you know how long i have been waiting for this product?
Most online shop sell them at a steep price and i rather wait to get the perfect price and
guess what? 

be patient and you will get the answer ;)

I got it!

Well as for the price, i wont mention it because i bought it from a friend of mine and this is the only one product she is selling :P

Anyway.. lets move on!

The packaging:

the packaging reminds me of NARS, i dont know why.
The size is alright it is medium but it is nice to hold ;D
When you open it, it has a mirror and 2 compartment for blush &bronzer.
The downside is it doesnt come with a brush.



Oh and the packaging is plain, and at the back, the name isnt written instead it is written in the number and the worst thing is, it is written in a tiny and small font, i found it hard to read :(


sorry it is messy :P been loving this so much!


The color swatch:

Okay, i love the bronzer color! it works and suits well with my skin :D 
Aside from that, the color pigmentation is great :) this is taken with one sturdy swipe! and the texture is soft and velvety! Yes the coral color isnt that visible but it is on my face :) giving off such a natural glow of coral touch ;) 

The blending ability is superb! it absorb into the skin and blends in well leaving such a natural look on the skin!



How it looks on me :)
See when i said the bronzer is the best shade for my skin :) it blends in so natural and giving off the perfect shade of my skintone and the coral color giving a natural glow for summer!




Conclusion:
- great shading color for my skintone
- great texture, coverage, pigmentation
-great packaging, just nice to hold
- the size is perfect ;)
- easy to blend into the skintone

REVIEW: NYX WONDER PENCIL # WP01 (LIGHT/CLAIR)



hello my angels!
I have been aiming to get this product for so long and finally 
i got it!

*pats on the back* 

The price:
RP 55.000

From:


The packaging:
Well it doesnt come with an outer box, so lets start with the product.
On the pencil itself is printed with alot of information such as ingredients, company,
usage, etc.

Very practical actually and it saves alot of material, I guess it is also helping with the global warming.



This product works as concealer, brightener and reverse lip liner.



Well, i am sure you all know that now there is a rule against animal cruelty
and look! how adorable the logo for cruelty free :3




The swatch:

The texture is soft and it glides on easily :) of course it is easy to blend.
The pigmentation is strong with one stroke, the coverage is good! medium to high and you can always layer it up to cover blemishes.



One funny thing, the main reason why i was aiming to get this is because i thought this could work as an eyeliner but oops, it didnt say on the product itself haha

So, as eye brightener = *check*
concealer = *check*
(pic below)

and i didnt try for the reverse lip liner :P so apologize i cant tell you the result for that but so far, it has proven the two usage though so it is a good product.


As a concealer, (pic below)

this is my pimple
* i am saying it proudly :P*


One layer of concealer


Blend it and voila!
Cover 99%


Conclusion:
- handy, i keep this in my handbag
- good pigmentation and texture
- easy to blend
- good coverage
- informative *thumbs up*

do you own this?
let me know what you think ;)

REVIEW (SPONSORED): PAC LONG WEARING TWO WAY CAKE #02 OCHRE



Hello love :)

so today, aside from my awful emotion breakdown, i am sticking to my passion as a beauty blogger and to write a review on one of the product i am being sponsored with by PAC

but before i jump into the product, they gave me a brochure consisting of all their products inside :)
so if you wanna know what they have, kindly click on these pictures.








The price:
you can check it on their website :)



The packaging:

I personally think their packaging are simple, clean and professional.
It comes with the outer box where it contains all information that you need to know and the material that they choosed and used are durable for the product to be protected ;) 



it has printed the expiration date which is useful for me ;D
as i tend to forget the date and numbers.


They have the ingredients so incase if you are allergic to certain substances, then you an always check it out here :D


Inside the box packaging, you will find the product *of course* and a tiny folded paper.
Inside the tiny folded paper contains the product lists and usage for foundations and powders :)

I think this is very informative so i dont have to go to the store to ask questions, i prefer to read it understand it, choose which products i want to buy and buy it straight away :)

save up time.


As for the product itself, i personally think the product packaging design is just unique!
i never seen anything like that before :P and on the product itself is written

" long wearing two way cake"

and mine is in #2 




To use the product, simply open it like usual and it comes with the buff underneath the powder.
i love the shape i dont know why :P 



the color swatch:

what i love about this product is the texture on the powder,
so soft and velvety. The coverage is good! it covers and hides my imperfection and it is easy to blend :)
the best thing it absorbs into the skin easily. 


When i tried the powder as a foundation by adding water on the sponge, 
it doesnt really work that well because it doesnt pick up the powder that well
but when i apply it as a powder,it settled in quickly and perfectly :)

so i think this is best to be worn as a powder itself.


so lets see if the " long wearing " statement is true :)




Knowing i have a very oily skin, by applying powder doesnt usually last long on me 
but with this powder, a good 5 hours with just the powder, is superb!

conclusion:
- LONG LASTING! for my oily skin
- love the packaging so unique!
- superb texture and coverage :) no powder ever cover my imperfection by itself
- no strong scent
- very informative outer packaging
