A'PIEU WATER LIGHT TINT || #CR01 Grapefruit, #RD03 Bitter Rose, #RD04 Berry

woensdag 2 oktober 2019


Hands down my favorite lip tint of 2019. I use this literally every single day, that's how much I love it. The A'pieu Water Light Tint has been around for a while now, so I'm super excited to finally share these babies with you guys and I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do.

A'pieu is a sister brand of the more well know Korean beauty brand Missha that caters more towards younger woman in their 20's. There is both a makeup line and a skincare line and their masks are especially so cute, but today the highlights are the Water Light Tint lip stain. It claims to deliver a vivid pigmentation with a glossy finish that lastes for hours, while it's also lightweight creating naturally plump and dewy lips. Sounds promising huh, we will find out. The colors I will be reviewing today are #CR01 Grapefruit: which is a bright coral color, #RD03 Bitter Rose: which is my everyday pick, a dusty rose color and #RD04 Berry: which is a dark berry red color. I got one gifted to me for my birthday, but I loved it so much that I got 2 more. It is super affordable (they go for 6-8 bucks) and findable online. I got mine from the Jolse Ebay store, but you can easily find it at other places too, like Yesstyle.

Ingredients
First time I'm adding the ingredients to a review, since a lot of us including me don't know what we are putting ON our body. It is as important as knowing what you're putting IN your body, because it's your body and you only have ONE body. So I hope this little section informs us a bit more and that it is useful. 

The main ingredients are:
  • Fruit Peel Oil Complex, that includes orange peel oil and lemon peel oil. This adds nourishment and glow to the lips.
  • Lotus water that moisturizes the lips
  • Different kinds of fruit and flower extracts for revitalizing the lips
*Ingredients list from Yesstyle.com



Look and feel
The packaging looks and feels sturdy. I can easily throw this in any bag or purse and it won't spill or break. It is coated with an iridescent layer, which creates a cool holographic effect. It comes with a twist cap (very secure) that spots Water Light Tint in black. What surprises me is that the brand name is nowhere to be seen on the packaging, not even at the bottom.





Results
The pigmentation of this is insane especially for a lip tint, one coat is enough to get the right amount of product on your lips. Do keep in mind that lighter colors are more sheer and darker colors are more pigmented. If you want a softer more gradient look, you can blend it out with your fingers. I usually go with a full lip, because it slightly stains as well. My naturally lip color is quite dull so a little bit of staining is perfect for me. It glides on so easy and the texture is smooth, not leaving my lips dry at all. I like the finish as well, as claimed it is a more dewy wet finish than a greasy gloss finish that is extremely light weight. It doesn't do any plumping for me, but since I'm not looking for that in a lip product its not a big deal. 

If you havent heard about this gem or are interested in trying it out, I definitely recommend this product. Go get yourself one now and let me know!

HOLIKA HOLIKA HEART CRUSH LIPSTICK MELTING || #PK05 GIRL POWER

donderdag 2 mei 2019


May is here, I can't believe how fast it's going. Makes me very wary of time even though I still have a lot! We're almost halfway in 2019 and I remember telling myself that I really want to grow my blog and my reach. Last week I made the decision to be active on Instagram and grow my blog through there. It's such an amazing way to show everyone what I like or don't like and the response I'm getting back is again amazing. I can't believe everyone is so nice! Not that I live in a bitter world, but everyone is so caring and genuinely looking at your content and interacting with it. I love it, I can definitely feel and see a tight community. If you didn't follow me already, go follow here: 2.19atmidnight

I picked up this lipstick a while back and what got my eye was the packaging. Just look how cute it is, come on, a heart shaped lipstick! I just haaaaad to get one. I wanted to get two colors but unfortunately the other one I want was sold out :(. But will I go back and purchase the other color? My answer is YES and you'll find soon enough why. 


Look and feel
This one is self explanatory, the heart shaped packaging. Not only is the outside heart shaped, the lipstick itself is also heart shaped! It looks cute but it looks and feels cheap because it's made of plastic. The whole lipstick is packaged in a salmon pink color with the cap spotting the Holika Holika logo. 



Results
It looks cute but is it worth your pennies? Uhm yeah it is! I was suprised by how smooth this glides on my lips, it's moisturizing and lastes for quite a long time without drying out your lips. The finish is not matte but more on the glossy side. What also got me was the pigmentation, 1 layer was enough for the full color to show. After eating and drinking I was quite surprised by how much color there still was on my lips. Because this lipstick is moisturizing it doesn't settle in my lip lines while the color stays even on my lips. The only downside I have is that the heart shape might be difficult for some to apply. I thought maybe this would be perfect for my cupids bow, but everyone has different lips. For me it was a bit harder at the sides to apply but it wasn't a mess.

I will definitely repurchase the other color as well! What do you guys think?
