Back on YouTube

Yes, recently I uploaded some videos on my channel after being away for some time.

I recorded and uploaded this Retro Pop Comic Book look after a number of my followers on Instagram voted for a tutorial.

I also looked for some inspiration to recreate a new look, and I thought the look below was cool!

I further completed the basic look by adding colour outside my mask.

Here is the tutorial

[REVIEW] Nicopy Vita Lip Tint in Orange Coral

First of all, thank you 0.8L for having me as a reviewer for this lip tint from a vegan cosmetic brand, Nicopy.

First Impressions

The lip tint comes in a matte brown box with a cute pink bear design packaging, and is stored in a see-through gloss tube with a matte brown screw cap.  

There is a brief information about the lip tint at the back of the tube in Korean language. Just like most lippie, the height of this lip tint tube is 3 inches.

Doe foot applicator!

Colour

I think the colour leans more on the red shade rather than orange or coral when applied as full colour. Even in gradient lips, it's a bit difficult to distinguish whether or not it is really orange/coral. Its truest colour shows after it is removed from the lips.

Texture

It is more of a liquid lipstick with glossy finish to me. It glides on smoothly on the lips and it is not drying at all even after a few hours of wearing.

Scent

Very strong strawberry scent and it's too hard for me to ignore.

Effect

It lasts more than half a day for me with no reapplication needed. It is most probably because I don't eat much and my lips don't touch anything when I drink.

Opinion

I didn't expect the glossy finish at all, and I don't like how it feels sticky on my lips. The after-taste when it got into my mouth was unpleasant too. What I dislike the most is the scent.

The only thing I like about this is how it looks after it is removed from the lips.

[REVIEW] BBIA Pigment in 03 Sour Taste & 06 Daylight

So I suddenly have a thing for glittery or shimmery eyeshadows

and then I bought these

There are many choices out there,

such as Stila, Moonshot, 3CE, Cathy Doll, etc.

The main reason I did not choose the ones mentioned above is

they cost more but the effect is the same.

I will not deny that Stila has a really wide range of shimmery eyeshadows,

but the price is almost 3 times BBIA's.

Moonshot has pretty colours, but I have to order it from overseas and it takes a long time. The cost of shipping fee and the product itself will be killing me.

The same goes to 3CE.

As for Cathy Doll, I am not too familiar with it

and it is a bit difficult to even order online despite its cheap price.

After looking at swatches by Instagram users and some bloggers, I have decided to opt for BBIA. With 15 colours to choose, I was a bit indecisive. Only after thinking for several days, I finally chose the shades of 03 Sour Taste and 06 Daylight.

I won't go into the details of what it does, the ingredients, the packaging and whatnot.

Below is the swatch I did.

Top: 06 Daylight
Bottom: 03 Sour Taste

I also recorded it so that you can see how and what they are like under natural lighting at different angles.

The container has a rubber stopper with a small opening, where you can pour a little on its screw cap. If you accidentally poured too much, you can always remove the rubber stopper and pour the excess back in.

The formulation is made in a way that it is easily blended upon application.

It was actually fun for me to see the particles break down and smooth themselves on my eyelids.

A WORD OF CAUTION

It may end up messy if you picked too much when applying (especially if using brush), where the excess and tiny bits will fall onto your cheeks.

I strongly advice picking the exact amount you need before applying. 

The eyeshadow is buildable, so don't worry about it ;)

[REVIEW] CANMAKE Your Lip Only Gloss in 03 Clear & Vivid

One can never own too many lip products,

says no one ever.

This is another review of a Canmake product~ I have always wanted the gloss on my lips,so I had decided to buy myself one~

Packaging made of cardboard material with flower theme~

Clear bottle~

Also, there are glitters in it! And look at the applicator! It's pink!

Review

For Your Lips

★★★★★

Well, it changes colour depending on the moisture of your lips. So yes, it depends on you as the wearer, and the colour that comes out is unique to each individual. When my lips are more moisturised, the colour that comes out appear to be more vivid!

Won't Wear Off

★★★★☆

Nothing is permanent. Get over it. Also, the more lip movements involved, the quicker the gloss disappears.

This is how it looks like indoor with natural lighting~

[REVIEW] CANMAKE Lip Tint Syrup in 03 Azalea

Yay~ Another lip product review~

So this is it~

Clear packaging~

It is pretty small.

(✯◡✯)

Review

Syrup-like Texture, which moisturizes

★★★★☆

I am not sure about the syrup-like texture part, but the mosturising part, yes. Because the Japanese lip tint is made up of more oil than water, unlike Korean lip tint, it really does feel a lot more moisturizing and not dying at all. Well, at least for some time. However, I noticed that the moisture goes away quickly especially when I talk a lot ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

Colour Stays Even After Eating

Maybe because the colour is similar to my natural lip colour, I am not sure if there’s any colour on my lips after eating. So it is unfair for me to give this rating.

Natural Rosy Look

★★★★★

Yes, the colour is really natural and light. If your natural lip colour is pale like mine and you want some colour yet you don’t want anything too obvious, this is definitely for you.

This is how it looks like indoor with natural lighting~

[REVIEW] CHÂTEAU LABIOTTE Wine Lip Tint in 01 Chardonnay Orange

If nothing goes out of plan, this should be the last review for January because this is the last thing I bought ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

Neat \(★ω★)/

Review

Long-wearing

★★★★☆

The colour hardly wears off the first time I put it on. The staying power is actually very scary and I had hard time trying to remove it. If you have to remove it, you'd better do it while it's not fully dried yet. However, I notice the change in colour after a few washes. From orange, it becomes pink.

Moisturises Lips

★★★★★

It does feel moisturising! 

Shiny Gloss

★★★★★

Yes, glossy~

Scent

★★★★☆

It has a decent, faint smell, which I kind of like.

Prove that the tint fades into pink!

[REVIEW] Yadah x Sonyunara All Day Tint (01 Always Pink)

☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆

So here's another quick review! I finally tried it out!

Review

Vivid Morning
(Long-lasting and Vivid Colour)

★★★★★

Yessss, it's called all day tint. Its colour does last very long. At the moment of writing this review, I am still uncertain of how long exactly can it last. So I will update on this soon! As for the vividness, it's pretty clear too!

Always Pink

(Waterproof)

★★★★★

I swatch it at the back of my hand, and when wet with water, it barely fades. I'm amazed by this!

Real Moist

(Healthy-looking lips)

★★★★☆

Well, basically I often scrub and always put on moisturising lip balm. So to state whether or not it really makes the lips moist, is gonna be a bias. But, leaving the tint on with no lip balm on top makes my lips feel dry. The dry dry, not the cracked or chapped lips kind of dry.

UPDATE

Top photos: 9 hours later, with scrubbing of at least twice and a meal.

Bottom right: 11 hours later, with scrubbing of at least twice and heavy meals.

Bottom left: Almost 24 hours later. Gradient stain remains but barely noticeable.
