PONY EFFECT FAVORITE FLUID LIP TINT REVIEW || #LOVE POTION, #SHEER DELIGHT, #CHERISH VALUES

woensdag 31 januari 2018


Pony is my ultimate Korean beauty queen and the sole reason I started focusing more on Korean beauty. For the people who don't know her (shame on you!! jk), she's a Korean makeup artist not only well known in Korea but also globally successful. She recently did a collaboration with Bella Hadid for Dior in this super fun videogame inspired video. 



She also has her own Youtube Channel and makeup line that I couldn't resist! 3 lipsticks I'm reviewing today and let me tell you.. these lipsticks are making a huge jump on to my favorites list.



Look and feel
The packaging is simple but edgy enough to catch my eye. It has your regular liquid lipstick form but it's a glossy rose gold color that I absolute adore. If you guys know me then you know my obsession for rose gold everything. The packaging has Pony Effect on it with the color from the lipstick. I assume that this is the actual product which is a nice twist but not really convenient. I've never finished a lipstick before (shocker), but I can imagine the struggle I would have when I'm almost at the end of the lipstick but I can't even see what color it is.




Results
It feels and the consistency is like a lip gloss, but the finish is not that glossy and most importantly not as sticky. It feels watery at first but then absorbs into your lips. It also stains it a bit which I love because my lips always looks weird after eating. It is pigmented but the first layer is definitely a bit sheer. If you want a solid color on your lips I recommend 2 or 3 layers for it to really pop. 










How do I feel about this product?
When I first used this product I was like uuuuuh why does this feels like a lipgloss. I don't like lip glosses at all, probably because I only remember those lip glosses back in the days. You know those really cheap ones with glitter and the stickiest consistency ever, ugh nasty. But I really liked the finish of this product and was like hey, I could totally rock this. It looks more watery than glossy which gives it a more innocent and natural look. For a "lipgloss" the lasting power is quite good and it also stains your lips so you don't need to re-apply frequently. This is seriously my to go lip product for many reasons but the most important one is the fact that it doesn't dry out my lips which is perfect for the colder days. Glossy lips are making a huge comeback this year in the Korean beauty world and the Favorite Fluid Lip Tint from Pony Effect is the perfect product to pick up for this trend.

Have you guys tried out any other "Pony Effect" products? Let me know :)

3CE Matte Lipstick REVIEW || #909 SMOKED ROSE, #803 CLASSIC ROSY, #907 OLD DRESS

zaterdag 9 december 2017



I can't get enough of lipsticks and my collections keeps growing and growing. This time I'm welcoming 3 lipsticks from 3CE, a makeup brand from the Korean brand Stylenanda. I'm already familiar with their lipsticks and also made a review about one of their lip lacquers. So if you're curious about that one click here! But the highlight for today are these gorgeous lipsticks! The colors I picked up are #909 Smoked Rose, #803 Classic Rosy and #907 Old Dress. I bought them in store when I was in Korea last summer but you can get them online on their website or Ebay. 

Etude House Review || Zero Sebum Drying Powder

donderdag 13 april 2017


It's finally spring and summer is around the corner which means... allergies and an extra oily ass face. I have used blotting paper before but blotting paper doesn't do that much for me so that was a nono. Then there's the famous Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder which was amazing, honestly one of my fave products of all time. But for some reason I always end up losing my Mineral Powder (lost it 2 times already) so I decided to pick up the Etude House Zero Sebum Drying Powder. This product claims to control sebum and refines pores for a fluffy and soft skin while mattifying your face. And oh my I think I like the Etude House one more than the Innisfree. 



Color Lasting Tint Aritaum Review || Colors 01. Nude Coat, 09. Tangerine Girl and 15. Gotham Red

zondag 24 juli 2016

I keep spoiling myself with more and more lip products, there is just no end to it. Lately i've been leaning more towards lip tints than lipsticks, because tints stains your lips and after a while it looks quite natural. So for a lazy girl like me it's definitely less work reapplying it. I decided to try out the Color Lasting Tint from Aritaum and picked up a nude color. I loved it so much so I had to get more colors and that's how I ended up with 3 tints to review!

PINKICON.com Lens Review | Select Fairy 1 Day lenses in Street Brown

zaterdag 14 mei 2016


So I rarely wear circle lenses because most of them look really creepy on me, they are either too large or they look really fake. But I really wanted to try out these 1 day circle lenses since they look way more natural compared to other lenses. Pinkicon.com was kind enough to sponsor me these lenses. The fact that they were sponsored tho won't effect my judgement in any way and this review will be a 100% my honest opinion. 

Son & Park Beauty Water Review

maandag 11 januari 2016


After years of using the Etude House Wonder Pore Toner I'm trying out another product. It's the popular Beauty Water from Son & Park. This toner is currently popular in Korea and even famous youtubers love it! For example Jenn Im from Clothesencounters talked about this product in one of her videos. (Who also love her as much as I do??) I decided to grab this one since my Etude House toner was running out.

Vietnam Haul | Beauty Products.

vrijdag 28 augustus 2015

I've decided to do a blogpost about my Vietnam Haul instead of a video. The reason to this is that my right microphone of my Nikon died. The sad thing is that I actually already filmed a video for this haul but after watching it back I heard a constant white noise on the background. And this noise was so loud that I couldn't even hear myself anymore. I'm super bummed out about the fact that I won't be able to make any videos until I get an external mic or fix my Nikon. So my apologies for that :(.

For this summer vacation I went to Vietnam and most of my time I stayed in Saigon (HCMC). That's where I also bought all of this stuff and I'll try my best to give the details about the stores for people who are going to visit Saigon in the future and are interested in these products. But first I want to say that I didn't buy as much as I wanted to because the prices in Vietnam are a bit more expensive than when I order it online. They do always have a promotion going on so that kind of counter attacks the prices. I'm also splitting this haul up in two parts, a beauty part and a fashion part. The places I went to are included at the end of this blogpost. Of course, all these brands are available in Plazas like; Parkson, Diamond, Crescent Mall etc. so you don't have to go to the exact same place as I went to.


Hope you enjoy this haul, loves Diana.

How to: Korean Loose Curls

zaterdag 11 juli 2015


Before I show you guys how to achieve The Korean Loose Curls look I wanted to say I'm sorry for the lack of blogposts. I've been really busy with school and work which made it hard for me to write a blogpost. I thought that when summer vacay comes I'll have more time for my blog, but my laziness got to me :( I'll also be going on vacation to Vietnam for 4 weeks and I don't know if I'll be able to blog there because we don't have WiFi at our place (ikr??). I'm really really sorry guys, I just suck at consistency.

Anyway back to the title of this blogpost, this is my take on the Korean Loose Curls. I've been doing this for a couple of years now and I just wanted to share it with you guys. I hope it is useful and please do check it out!
