Innisfree F/W 2015 Real Fit Lipstick 'No. 6' and 'No. 8' Review & Swatches

Cheers to the first post of 2016, and we're starting off with one of my favorite Korean brands! Whenever Innisfree releases a new lip product, I rarely misses the chance to give it a try. I've tried many of their various lip product formulas and I gotta say they are quite decent while being affordable. So when they released their latest lipstick collection for F/W 2015, I did not hesitate to add them to my huge Innisfree stash. There are so many pretty shades that would be gorgeous for the season so it was rather hard to make a decision. I ended up with two very different shades that are perfect for daily wear - one a bright milky orange and another a deep rosy pink. 

Review: Blush & False Lashes from Born Pretty Store

Here comes the second part to my review of the products Born Pretty Store sent me a while back. If you haven't already checked out the first part, click here to read the review. While the last review of Born Pretty Store was entirely about lipsticks, this one will be on a blusher and false lashes which I rarely write about on my blog. I guess this is a chance to do something new :) Now, let's get on to the review shall we?

Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation Review & Swatches

When I was strolling along the makeup aisles in Sephora browsing for a new summer foundation, I was introduced to the Lancome Teint Miracle by a sales associate. It's designed to suit Asian skin tone and supposed to provide decent coverage while keeping oils at bay. That definitely sounded like something I was looking for so I decided to go with her recommendation. Read on to find out how this product works out for me!

Lipsticks from Born Pretty Store: Liphop, Mimididi, and Sugarbox Reviews & Swatches

Some months ago, I had a chance to collaborate with Born Pretty Store who generously sent me a couple of products to try out. I had not heard of the store before they reached out to me, but I was amazed by the huge collection of affordable makeup they had in the store. It was truly a difficult decision to choose from the big selections. I managed to pick 3 lipsticks, a blush, and a pair of false lashes. In this post, I'll go over the lipsticks first. The blush and false lashes will be talked about in another upcoming post. Without further ado, let's head straight into the reviews!

It was a rough week but the good news is I'm having a long holiday! That means I get to work on my blog and take some photos for a couple of product reviews sitting in my draft. I know I've been absent from my blog lately, but I hope this post can make up for that :) Many of you are probably interested in this product so without any further ado, let's get into the review for the Innisfree Real Fluid Rouge.

A'Pieu Kissable Tint Stick 'CR01' and 'PK01' Review & Swatches

It sure has been a while since my last review post! My job hunt is finally over, so I'm back to the regular blogging routine :) Last Wednesday was a very special day because it was my 1st blog anniversary! So, happy belated birthday to Pastel Boulevard! To celebrate this occasion, I splurged on some new lippies which I will show you once they arrive. Now, let's move on to today's review on A'Pieu Kissable Tint Stick. It is one of my favorite lip products of all time so I'm excited to talk about it with you guys.

Innisfree Eco Flower Tint Balm No.2, 3, 4 Review & Swatches

Whew, it took me quite a while to edit all the photos for this post, but here it is. Innisfree released the Eco Flower Tint Balm around November or December of last year, but I haven't heard much about it from international bloggers although I've seen quite a lot of Korean bloggers talking about it. Well, it's likely because it wasn't advertised as much as other products from the brand that were released around the same time, like the Orchid skincare line. Alright, without any further ado, let's get right into the review!

Guerlain KissKiss Shaping Cream Lip Color '343 Sugar Kiss' Review & Swatch - Yet Another Dupe of YSL '52 Rosy Coral'

I must have been attracted to all the rosy coral lipsticks out there after I fell in love with the phenomenally popular YSL #52. I don't know why, but I keep finding dupes of it without even realizing lol. I just thought, "oh, this shade looks pretty," and it turns out to be a good dupe of the YSL one. Well, so here I am with another review of a dupe for the YSL '52 Rosy Coral.' The product in question today is the recently released Guerlain KissKiss Shaping Cream Lip Color '343 Sugar Kiss'. This is my first Guerlain lipstick ever, and I have to say I'm impressed. I'll get to that in a bit. If you are curious to find out why, keep on reading! By the way, click HERE if you want to check out the post on another dupe of YSL #52  (YSL '33 Rose Neillia').

Etude House F/W 2014 Dear My Wish Lips Talk 'PK003' and 'OR202' Review & Swatches

I feel like majority of my reviews these days are on lipsticks lol. Well, that's what happen when you are a lippie lover :P Anyhow, after the Innisfree Creammellow lipstick (reviewed HERE), I got another review of a F/W lipstick collection and it's from the famous Etude House. Come to think of it, this is actually my first review of Etude House's product. I mean, I've tried their products before but for some reason I didn't make a post about them. Oopsie! Now, before I get any more distracted, let's get back to what I'm going to talk about today - the Dear My Wish Lips Talk, a new hydrating lipstick formula Etude House recently released this Fall.

Innisfree F/W 2014 Creammellow Lipstick in No. 3, 8, 9 Review & Swatches

Many Korean brands have released their F/W makeup collection featuring glossy lipsticks, and one of them is Innisfree. Innisfree Creammellow lipstick is formulated to provide moisture and glossy finish with shades that are Fall-appropriate. As a person with chapped lips, I was really looking forward to try this out. Keep reading if you're interested in how it turns out for me!

YSL Rouge Volupte 'Rose Neillia' Review & Swatch - Dupe of the Famous YSL 52 'Rosy Coral'

I was casually browsing the YSL counter at Bergdorf when I suddenly stumbled upon a Rouge Volupte lipstick that really reminds me of the phenomenally popular Rosy Coral shade - it is the YSL Rouge Volupte in No. 33 'Rose Neillia.' I was like, ok, I already have the Rosy Coral so I'm gonna pass on this one. But then I saw some swatches online and felt I had to have it lol. Well, so I went back to the YSL counter, and you know what, it was sold out! The sales assistant told me it was a limited shade. Of course, I didn't give up - I searched all over the place and finally landed on one at YSL counter in Bangkok :) I feel like this can be an alternative to those of you who cannot get your hands on YSL Rosy Coral.

3 Concept Eyes Creamy Lip Color 'No. 4 Joyce' Review & Swatches

Next up for the 3 Concept Eyes product review is the Creamy Lip Color. I first saw this on my fellow blogger Filia's blog and fell in love with the color #4 Joyce. Since the lip lacquer from the brand dries my lips out, I really hope that this would not turn out the same way. It is a newer lipstick release from the brand and is more focused on being glossy instead of their usual matte finish. It claims to apply like butter and gives off vivid glossy color while moisturizing the lips. There are many beautiful shades but #4 caught my attention first, and I'm having a love-hate relationship with it. Keep reading to find out why.

3 Concept Eyes Water Gloss 'Funny Booster' and 'Lucky Strike' Review & Swatches

From my recent 3 Concept Eyes/Stylenanda haul, I've got several things I want to do a review on and I decided to start off with the brand's latest release, the Water Gloss. I was quite skeptical about this product when I first saw it since their lip lacquer didn't really work well for me, so I hesitated whether to give it a go. Well, I'm glad I didn't let my previous disappointment prevents me from trying new things from the brand. The Water Gloss turns out to be a worthy splurge as it exceeds my expectations in many ways. Keep reading to find out how :)

Lancome Lip Lover '336 Orange Manege' Review and Swatches

I've been meaning to do a review on the Lip Lover for a while but somehow I just couldn't find time for it. But, I finally brought myself to sit down and get working. I got this months ago (see my graduation haul here) and have been wearing it a lot. Needless to say, I adore this product.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment 'Tulip' Review & Swatches

Here comes a long overdue review and swatch of the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Tulip shade. I bought this since it was just released and was still an exclusive for Sephora VIB. Now non-VIBs can get it as well. I first tried the original and Rosy lip treatment when I got them as a birthday gift from Sephora years ago and fell in love with them instantly, especially the Rosy one. So, I've been a loyal user of Fresh lip balms ever since. My current favorite would be the Advanced Therapy since it is just so hydrating. When I saw the Tulip shade coming out, I felt that the the color was so pretty and nice for everyday wear so I decided to get it.

Espoir Summer 2014 Beach Bombshell Collection: Lip Stain Flash Glow 'Kiss & Tell' and 'Merry Berry' Review & Swatches

Hey everyone! Today, I'll do a review on my first product ever from Espoir! I was not that interested in the brand before, but they've come out with many great products recently that peaks my interest. Their No Wear Lipstick is one of the most popular lip products in Korea, or so I heard. I've been tempted to try that out but then they released their Beach Bombshell Collection for Summer 2014 and it's just so gorgeous. I love, love the makeup on the model. So, I decided to get some of the lip products from the collection - the Lip Stain Flash Glow in PK001 Kiss & Tell and PK003 Merry Berry - which are currently sold out on the Espoir website. That was amazingly fast! Good thing I didn't take long to grab them lol.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine 'Pink in Paris' Review & Swatches

As if there are not enough pinks in my lipsticks stash, I got myself one more from YSL. Well, it's hard to resist when you're a lipstick addict! I first saw this shade on my favorite YouTuber Beautifymeeh and I knew I had to have it. Being a fan of YSL cosmetics, I knew it would be a worthy splurge as their lipsticks quality and packaging are always awesome. Therefore, one more beauty added to my lipsticks family :)

Laneige Water Drop Tint in Raspberry Pink and Camellia Red Review & Swatches

Laneige Water Drop Tint is one of the best lip tints I've tried, and I've tried many. Yes, it's that awesome. I bought 2 of the shades, Neon Pink and Scarlet Red, back when it was first released (Winter 2013 I think) and have been loving them so much. So I did not hesitate to get the new shades recently released by Laneige for Spring/Summer 2014. There are 4 new shades but I bought only 2, the Raspberry Pink and Camellia Red. I had put up a review on the product in my old blog but since I deleted that, I'll be going over it again here.
