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?

ETUDE HOUSE DEAR DARLING TINT REVIEW || RD401, Real Red
donderdag 19 juli 2018
It's been a while that I picked up a lip tint. The biggest reason for me to avoid them for the longest time was how it always made my lips super dry and flakey. Lip tints were also an unfamiliar trend in western countries so I always leaned more towards lipsticks even tho I loved the gradient lip look. But now I'm adjusting to the Shanghai lifestyle and trends. I've been seeing a lot of Korean influences, from Korean makeup brands to Korean makeup looks and fashion. So I tried it out one more time, a lip tint.
VDL EXPERT COLOR LIP CUBE || #501, OUTBLOOM
vrijdag 30 maart 2018
You can never say no to a red lipstick, it looks good no
matter what season it is. Sexy, classy, romantic, fierce, all the looks you can
achieve with just one lip color. It definitely takes courage wearing this bold
color and the different tones also changes the mood you’re going for but every
girl needs a shade of red in her life!
Today I’m reviewing this gorgeous dark red lipstick not only
for the color but also for the special shape it has. It’s a cube lipstick
meaning it’s shaped in a cube. This helps with achieving that heart shape on
your lips. The cube shaped lipstick was introduced by VDL a few years ago and
became a huge hit. It’s special shape made it easier to achieve the heartlike
lips that made other girls jealous and boys fall in love. They were also famous
through their multicolored lipsticks that were great for creating an ombre
look. Another thing that caught my eye was that this lipstick has sun protection, 10 SPF to be exact. I do not own a lot of lip products with SPF so this is a major plus for me!
Look and feel
Starting of with the packaging, it’s a glossy black slim
lipstick with a matte golden tip. I’m not a fan of the look to be honest, it
looks quite cheap and not durable at all.
Results
It’s a darker shade of red but not completely dark red. This
is definitely more day appropriate which makes it easier to play with. The
pigmentation is great and it slides on so smooth.
How do I feel about this product?
This red color is definitely more work and day appopriate since it's not a bright red but a darker shade of red. The cube enhances that heart like shape which is very sexy, making it very versatile as well! Don't forget that this product has 10 SPF, so it's a no brainer that you can rock this lipstick 24 hours a day making it the perfect transitioning lipstick from day to nighttime. I just wished the packaging was different since I'm really not a fan of how it looks. Overall it's a nice lipstick to carry in your bag.
What do you guys think? Are you a fan of the cube shape or is it a pass for you?

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.
