October Favorites

Hello everyone!

October has been such a hectic month with so many tests and assignments. School is a bit less busy... for now, so I thought I would update you guys on my October favorites.

Etude House Dear Darling Tint in PK005 x

First of all, how cute is the packaging? That attracted me most to this tint at first. I love the color and how natural it looks. It's so easy to apply that whenever I'm in a rush for my morning classes, I just quickly put this on. It adds some color to the lips but you don't need to spend time making sure it's staying within the lines. 

Innisfree Youth-Enriched Gel Cream with Orchid x

I bough this in September during Innisfree's Grand Opening in New York and I'm almost done with it. This was recommended to me by one of the people at Innisfree for oily skin. I absolutely love the smell of this cream! It has a slightly floral scent that isn't too strong. It's moisturizing enough for me during the day, but at night, I like to put a sleeping mask over it for extra moisturization.

Missha All Around Safe Block Waterproof Sun Milk SPF 50/PA+++ x

I bought this sun milk after KCON NY in June after heyitsfeiii and Charlotte Cho from Sokoglam recommended it for oily skin. I used to use sunscreen from Neutrogena and I noticed that it would kind of come off as I was applying my makeup. It would look like I hadn't exfoliated my skin for a while and my skin was flaking off, but it was the sunscreen flaking off. Since I started using this sun milk, my makeup has gone on so much smoother. Also, it doesn't leave an oily feeling on the skin like most sunscreens do, even the Neutrogena ones that day "dry touch." 

Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb x

Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick in #08 x

I am totally in love with the Belif eye cream that I'm willing to drop $50 to buy the full size. Right now, I'm using the sample size I received during Gen Beauty and I still have half the container left. It's so moisturizing that you don't need a lot. 

I've been using the Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick under my eyes on my aegyo sal (the puffy part under the eyes). The eye stick gives a subtle glittery effect  that highlights the aegyo sal.

So those were my favorites for the month of October. Let me know what your favorites were and if you have any recommendations for me!

Thanks so much for reading. I'll see you soon!

Review: Peripera Peri's Tint Water in Strawberry Juice

Hello everybody!

Last week I reviewed one of Tony Moly's lip tints. After trying out that lip tint, I was obsessed with it, so I thought I'd try another lip tint that I've heard other people talk about, the Peripera Tint. 

First of al, it's a liquid tint. Somehow that information went by me and totally expected it to be like the Tony Moly tint, which a bit creamy-er. The first time I used it, I tried to do a gradient lip like I do with the Tony Moly tint. The tint ran and got into my mouth, making it look like my teeth were bleeding. (Also, this tint has a bitter taste, so be warned.)

When you first apply it, it's really liquidy and doesn't look like it'll stain like a tint. But, be patient! Once it dries, it looks pretty natural. One problem I had with it was that it didn't stain my upper lip evenly. It also tends to run, so by the end of the day, I kind of looked like Joker in the making (it ran to the corners of my mouth). 

It doesn't have as good of a last power as the Tony Moly tint does. It comes off a bit more when eating and drinking. 

Rating: 3/5

You can get this for $5.89 on Amazon x

Review: Tony Moly Liptone Get It Tint #2 Coral Ming

Hello everyone!

I picked up the Tony Moly Liptone Get It Tint in #2 Coral Ming while I was in Taiwan and I absolutely fell in love with it. I wore this color the entire first two weeks of college before the weather started turning and it became fall. 

So it comes in this box with two lids. The first one (square one) you can just pull off, and the second one you twist off. Personally, I like using the square one because it's easier to hold. 

It comes with this doe-foot applicator, which is really easy and nice to use. 

At first, I was really intimidated by the color. I'm more of a nudey pink person or a dark red/berry red person. I didn't think I could pull off this color.

That it looks like straight out of the bottle.

But if you smear it, it becomes a softer, lighter color. 

So I normally go for a gradient and it comes out really nicely. It's easy to blend with your fingers, but if you don't want to stain them, you can use a lip brush (like I do). It's also buildable, so if you're into that gradient look, it looks really nice as one solid color as well. 

If you blot afterwards and apply another layer, it stays on pretty well through eating and drinking. Sometimes, the inside of your lips get slightly lighter, so if that bothers you, just reapply a tiny bit. 

I usually apply lip balm before putting this lip tint on, so it doesn't feel drying to me. However, sometimes it looks a bit dry and settles into the lines of my lips. I found that applying a thin layer of lip balm over it solves that problem. 

Rating: 4/5

Overall, I really like this tint and would definitely consider getting another one.

You can get it from Amazon for $8.36 x
