PONY EFFECT OUTFIT VELVET LIPSTICK REVIEW || #NO MAKEUP, #SOMEDAY SOMEWHERE

zondag 20 januari 2019

Happy 2019! I wish everyone a blessed and happy new year. May all your wishes come true and good luck to your goals :) My goal for this year is to graduate and while writing this blogpost I'm also writing my thesis, wish me luck! After getting my degree I want to spend more time blogging, writing content, shooting pictures. I really hope for my blog to grow even more this year. Other goals include getting fit (so basic), eating healthy (also basic) and improve my skin. To kick off my resolutions on a positive note I have this two pretty lipsticks to review.



If you remember the Pony Effect Lipsticks I reviewed before, you would know that I loveeeee Pony. She is just goals, for real. If you don't know what I'm talking about then click here for the blogpost about her liptints. This time I have two brand new lipsticks that I want to introduce to you guys. It's also from her makeup line called "Pony Effect" and in comparison to the previous review, these are lipsticks and have a velvety finish.




Look and feel
I just love her iconic rose gold packaging, it's so pretty. This time the packaging is black with her logo in rose gold for a more edgy look. When you open the cap the lipstick container is also in rose gold for a pretty surprise. But what I absolutely adore about this lipstick is the magnetic cap. Cheers to never losing your lipsticks caps or having loose caps anymore! Another thing that I've never seen before is that the top is slightly slanted with her lightning bolt logo.




Results
The product slides on your lips very smoothly, but I do need a few coats for the full color. I wore it the whole day, reapplied it a few times without applying any lip balm. My lips felt a bit dry but it didn't look dry to the point where you could see my lip lines which amazes me. It has a velvety semi-matte finish but I do wish it was more matte but that's due my own preferences, the finish however is pretty. This is the perfect lipstick for beginners to try out :) If you're looking for a lipstick that doesn't dry out your lips and want color build up, then look up these lipsticks from Pony Effect. 

I'm keeping my eye out on more Pony products, because she has me hooked! How about you? Leave a comment in the comment section below, I would love to know :)

INNISFREE REAL FIT VELVET LIPSTICK REVIEW || #2 and #3

maandag 12 november 2018


My time in Shanghai has come to an end and I'm back home. But that also means that I have my shooting gear back in hand for some bomb ass pictures ;). Sadly I couldn't buy that many makeup products because my luggage was so full from all my taobao shopping sprees. But I did pick up 2 Innisfree lipsticks during my stay in Shanghai to review for you guys!

These lipsticks are from the Real Fit Velvet range. I got them them at an Innisfree store located in Crystalleria mall at Jing'an Temple. But if you ever get the chance to visit Shanghai definitely go to the big Innisfree store located at Nanjing East Road. That one has the famous Innisfree Green cafe that is worth a visit! In Jing'an tho I picked up the colors #2 and #3.



Look and feel
They are very simple and sturdy looking, but it's made of plastic so they are more cheap looking. It's a good size to hold in your hand and because they are sturdy you can easily drop them without leaving a scratch. There's a hint of color at the bottom so you're not clueless about the lip color. Overall it's just a very basic and sturdy design.

Results
The name suggests a velvet finish but it's definitely more leaning towards a moist finish. Especially when you apply lip balm before putting on lipstick, this effect will be amplified. The color is quite sheer so if you want a better color payoff you need to apply on several more coats for it to really show. 





How do I feel about this product?
My overall opinion about this product is that I don't hate it but I also don't love it. It's just a mweh product for me. Application goes very smoothly but sets into your lip lines. The finish is also streaky and more a moist finish rather than a velvety finish. It's not drying but for some reason the finish is everything it isn't supposed to be. The color payoff for #3 is also better than #2 but it isn't long-lasting. I think I reapplied my lipstick 3 times more than usual. In the end I wouldn't repurchase these lipsticks because it doesn't have anything that's good.

Have you tried these lipsticks out? Let me know what your opinion was!

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.
