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.

OOTD #9 || Appreciating art
donderdag 20 september 2018
I always try to dress a bit more artsy and casual when I go to an art exhibition. Not only do I enjoy looking at art but I know that most art places have a great vibe and look to them. So I always try to snap a few pics when I'm there. In this case I visited M50 in Shanghai. If you ever get the chance to visit then it's a must! I recently wrote a blogpost about M50 so if you're interested then click here!

SHANGHAI || M50
dinsdag 18 september 2018
I have less than 2 months left in Shanghai and I'm feeling both sad and happy at the same time. Sad because I love this city so much and would love to stay longer, but also happy because I'm going to see my family, boyfriend and friends soon! Of course I'm still trying to explore the cool and hot spots of Shanghai in my free time and make the most of it. In this blog I'll show you around M50 which is a famous art district in Shanghai.
M50 is Shanghais own art district and its short for 50 Moganshan Road. The closest subway station is Jiangning Road and it's a 10-15 min walk from exit 1. It's home to a lot of galleries and most of them are free of charge. Not only does it satisfy your artsy needs but it also boosts up your instagram. It's perfect for snapping some shots and you'll casually see some photoshoots going on at the location. If you're a lover of both art and photography then this is definitely a must go for you! *Keep in mind that all galleries close at 5pm
Here are some of the shots I took while I was there. If you have visited m50 let me know in the comment section below what your thoughts are about Shanghais art district :)
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.

Hi everyone! I'm almost 23, in my last chapter of university and all this not back at home but in Shanghai! Yup that's right, I'm currently in Shanghai to work on my thesis. I can't say much but it's for a company based here. What I can say tho is that I absolutely love it, more than any other city i've ever been to. That's why I want to share all the cool places and hotspots you should visit when you ever get the chance.
Here's a sneak preview of what I've been up to the past few months ;)
Review Off-White || Diag Padded Binder Clip Crossbody Bag
donderdag 19 april 2018
I'm so so sooo excited for this blogpost. My very first designer bag that I got for myself paid with my own money. Even tho I'm leaving soon for my exchange to Shanghai I had to spoil myself with this must have piece, a crossbody bag. I've been looking for the perfect high end crossbody bag for ages and my eyes where set on the Chloé Faye bag, but knowing me I'm really into streetwear and this piece is perfect to accomplish that look. Also there's a reason I got it in white.. I'm still eyeing the Faye bag in black ;)
Off-White is one of the most hyped high-end streetwear brands right now and it has been spotted in combination with other high end brands at fashion week. They're well known for their yellow industrial strap, mostly used as a belt. The Diag Padded Binder Clip retails at 780 euro. It's well known for the binder clip attached to the bag. You can get it in different colors and materials but I got the white leather one. A very dangerous one I think since white is so easy to fck up, but again an essential to have in your wardrobe especially since spring and summer is around the corner.
The bag is in a white leather color in combination with silver colored metal. The silver compliments the white very well giving it a very clean and edgy look. It has 2 straps so you can change it to your liking. It has the iconic yellow strap and a white strap matching the bag. If you want to go for a more sweet and clean look then the white strap is your to go strap. But if you're more into cool and edgy streetwear then the yellow strap will definitely be an eyecatcher. It comes with a smaller strap as well if you're more of a handbag kinda girl. When you open the bag it's quite spacious, it has two small compartments, one with a zip and one without, perfect for your ID or creditcard. It closes automatically through the magnets which comes in quite handy.
Details
On the metal rings on the side and on the binder clip the logo Off-White is spotted. It's quite dainty which I love. Also you can move the binder and clip it wherever you want on the front of the bag. When you open the bag, at the top, Off-White Made in Italy is engraved in the leather. I love how all the branding of the brand is very small and almost hidden.
Overall I'm in love with this bag, you can make any outfit edgy and cool with the yellow strap or sweet and minimal with the white strap. The only thing I dislike is that changing straps can be troublesome. It's really hard and sturdy in the beginning so it took me a while. I hope it loosens up more but for now I'm sticking to the yellow strap ;)
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?
