Review: Missha The Style Under Eye Brightener

Good morning everyone! :)
Today i'm going to review a concealer from Missha called 'Missha The Style Under Eye Brightener' and i'm reviewing shade no.1 (light beige). It has two shades, no.1 is light beige and no.2 is natural beige.

picture is not mine. i took it from an online shop. just check the link.
mine:
sealed!

The product comes with no box, but it was sealed when i first got it. The applicator is a sponge tip as you can see below. The product smells like... i don't know. It smells chemical-y just like any other concealer or foundation, but not too strong. 



This is how it looks on my hand, swatched and blended. It has a yellowish tone in it. It looks weird because my hand is the darkest part of my body, but it matches better on my face. The consistency is nice, but it turns a bit dry or powdery after it settles on my skin. It spreads on my skin well.



On my face:



On the first picture, i only apply the concealer on my right eye to compare the 'before-after' difference. On the second picture, i apply it to both my eyes.
It looks too bright on my skin if i accidentally put it too much, but no problem because you can always put foundation, bb cream, powders, and such stuffs on your face to even out the color.
It does cover my dark circles, sheer to medium coverage. But if you notice all of my pictures before, i have fine lines right under my eyes (yeah i'm 19 and have fine lines under my eyes!) and it accentuates my fine lines! uh-oh.

And this is how it looks after i wear it for about 8 hours plus:



 I don't know if you can see it or not, but (aside from accentuating my fine lines) it makes my under eye looks dry (more like i feel dry) and it kinda de-blend (what?), i mean it settles into my pores and make it looks like tons of small white dots under my eyes *sigh*

And i tried putting it on my lids (lol) and it accentuates the folds in no time haha:



Conclusion:
Pros:
-brightens eye
-nice consistency
-enough coverage
-spreads well on the skin

Cons:
-accentuates fine lines
-can be drying and turns powdery or flaky


So i think this is 'just' an under eye brightener; the only thing it's good in is just brightening the under eye. It is good for those who only have dark circles problem, without fine lines and problematic skin. But it's obviously not for me (especially when i wear it for a long time). I know there are still so many concealers out there for me to try out, so i won't repurchase this again in short time.

Review: Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil

Hello ladies today i'm reviewing a brow pencil from Etude House, It's called 'Etude House Drawing Eye Brow Pencil'. It's available in 6 shades:
this picture is from the online shop i use to buy my products from

I chose shade no.4 (Dark Grey) because i have black hair and my brows are thin so they look gray in color. It has a retractable pencil on one end and a brush on the other end.

i broke the tip of the pencil right after i touched it haha

this is how it looks like on my hand. I draw a line and multiple lines

on my face, before (top) and after (bottom)
Well so far i like the color, it's not too black for me (because i look like a comedian if i wear a black brow pencil *sigh*). And the color is buildable. The brush works just well, too. It doesn't smudge but if you rub you brows too harsh it might stain you face tho. It's really easy to clean it, using just a facial wash will do because hey it's just a pencil :D

Conclusion:
Pros:
-nice range of color (but not for blondies)
-nice brush
-retractable pencil, long enough
Cons:
-no box, no ingredients
-fragile pencil >.<

Aah it saves my money, i think i won't be buying any brow pencil after this because i really like it and it looks like it's gonna last forever (even after i reduce the product by breaking the tip).

Sunday Shopping

So last night i went shopping with my brother, and i got these stuffs:

1) Hush Puppies pink sandals <3 ready for summer!



they have a mini heart on the heels lol
 2) Opelon top
     Sorry the pic is blurry :( i suppose to wear it during exercise but i think i'll wear it to    sleep because it feels so comfortable in it


3) Gaudi jacket
    It is not a leather jacket, it feels more like wool, but not exactly wool. I wonder why do they sell jacket when it's almost summer. Moreover it's in new arrival section, not in sale or clearance. I don't feel too hot when i wear it tho, just enough warmth and comfort. summer jacket, maybe? summer nights can be cold, too, right?



i'm so broke because i've just subscribed to two beauty boxes. i will review each box once they reach my room. See ya! :)

Review: Etude House Oh m'Eye Line Liquid Liner

Hi i'm back!
I have several days off before my block exam this coming friday. So here i am, writing a review :D

So today i'm gonna review one of Etude House's liquid eyeliner, it's called Oh m'Eye Line, and i choose the color black.

i put a boardmarker to compare the size
Sadly it doesn't come with a box so i don't know its ingredients :( It is a brush-type liquid liner, and the brush is small enough to my liking.


I tried putting it on the back of my hand and running water on it for a minute aaanndd it comes off ._. not so waterproof, eh?

this is the same eyeliner. i made the first line too thin so i made a thicker line beside it

So far i've had no complaint about the color. it's black enough for me, not too glossy nor it is matte.




It doesn't feel like i'm wearing anything on my eyes, so around 1 hour after i put it on i accidentally rubbed my eyes too hard but it doesn't budge. But this is what happens after i put it on for around eight hours plus...


It doesn't smudge at all, but it flakes off hideously! *cries*
It's really easy to clean it with eye make up cleanser tho. If you're lazy (and harsh) enough, you don't even need to use any cleanser. You just sratch it until it comes off. And it does!

And several days ago this happens to this baby:


Yes i accidentally dropped it and the bottom of the tube cracked and spill its content :"(((
I stored it near the edge of my shelf, and i have dropped it several times (accidentally, of course) before and i know the tube will crack if i keep dropping it, so it happens. I didn't thought it would be this fast. I've only wore it around four times before it cracked :(

Conclusion:
Pros:
-small tip
-good color
-no smudging
-easy to remove

Cons:
-no box, no ingredients
-not waterproof
-it flakes off

I won't say that the tube is fragile, before it's entirely my fault that i dropped it multiple times 'til it cracked.

So after all, i think i don't hate the color but i know there are more eyeliner that are more waterproof and flake-proof than this, so i'll spend my money on other products.
