Make-up Look: Only Korean Brand

I wanted to do something fun and try out all korean make up products I have at once, basically creating my typical make-up-look with korean brands only! This is what I used:

1. Tony Moly Party Love Shine Blusher, in Sweety Peach (from what I made out of the hangul on the package, bought this in china!), this is one of my favourite blushers ever, it’s veryyyyy strong and pink, I have to watch out when applying! Has some glitter in it.

2. Etude House Bee Happy! Lip Balm, in Baby Bee - Refreshing Lemon, it has no color or taste but smells like a lime tart, very moisturizing for the lips!

3. Holika Holika Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner, in 5 Brown Amber, it’s soft and has a nice color but I can’t say it’s actually waterproof…

4. Holika Holika Magic Pole Mascara, I love this mascara! It’s one of those mascaras with a ball at the end of the plastic brush, not waterproof. It’s even good for wearing solo because of the effect it gives, very long and defined lashes with a bit of volume! Also the packaging started to disintegrate haha

5. Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream, Light probably, now despite having tons of different korean BB creams I wanted to try something new, so I tried out a sample I once got! I must say it is really really good, fits my skintone, covers very good and still looks pretty natural! 

6. Tony Moly Cats Wink Powder, 01, I already showed this on my blog, love it!

7. Skin79 Star Glow Ball Powder, used a little bit of this to soften my extreme blush! 

This is how it came out:

So this is more my everyday make up than a “make-up-look”. As I already mentioned I usually go for the natural look, that means I almost never wear eyeshadow except for something glittery or slightly pink. That leaves me time and money to focus on good foundations and powders, which I think are more important. And of course mascara, can’t ever get enough of that. It would be great to see other bloggers only using their korean brand make up to create a look!

Review: Skink79 BB creams

Today I’ll make a small comparison of the skin79 BB creams that I have! I bought a set of small tubes a long time ago to find out which is the best of all!

From left to right:

Super BB creme Triple Functions

The Oriental BB Cream

Diamond Collection Pearl BB Cream

Super BB creme Gold

Diamond Collection The Prestige BB Cream

All of them have SPF 25, have wrinkle improvement and are whitening! The biggest difference are the shades! You’ll see it here in the swatch:

From the first look it is clear that the Pearl BB cream is the lightest! The pink Triple Functions and Gold are the same, both pretty dark in comparison and Oriental and Prestige are about the same, with Prestige being just a little bit lighter.

The coverage from the pink Triple Functions is just as good as the others, except for Pearl, which doesn’t cover anything for me AT ALL. Pearl is mostly illuminating and has lots of glitter particles. It’s honestly only for a special look, or if your skin is super perfect and you just want an extra glow and shine.

I have to say that because of the shade the Oriental and Prestige are my favorites. The Oriental is actually lighter on my skin because it has stronger whitening features! The Prestige seem to darken a bit after application, but not that much.

Gold and Triple Functions are basically the same to me, pretty good BB creams but the shade is not perfect on me and my skin gets really greasy after 2-3 hours of wear…but no breakouts! It’s always a good idea to buy small samples of as many BB creams as possible to find a perfect one! Even though I love the Oriental most, I don’t see me loving it as much as Diroskin Nude because it feels a bit heavier (nothing is as light as Diroskin Nude).

Review: Skin79 Diamond Collection Star Glow Ball Powder

Only recently did my interest for highlighters begin to grow. Before I have never used any but now I would like to sometimes highlight my cheeks a bit to have an extra glow. I ordered a highlighter that I’ve seen before when buying korean make-up, the Skin79 Star Glow Ball Powder! I bought it from rubyruby76 on ebay for 14 $ (shipping included).

Well I was kinda surprised that there were so many green shimmering balls, I would like more pink/rosé colored ones. But that shouldn’t matter for the application right? It came with a little powder-puff but again I rather use my brushes to apply it.

As you can see it is pretty much white, only some green particles and for my taste it is not even glittery enough. I know some people like to have a toned down highlighter but for the occasion that I actually apply highlighter I want the whole shab bang. So for application I just lightly brushed over the powder and than applied it like I would do with a rouge.

Now let’s see how it looks on my face!

Well ehhmm I had to use flash so that at least a little bit was visible but I am disappointed! The highlighter is so weak… maybe others’ might like it but for me it’s definitely not enough glow, even if I cake on some more….Too bad! But this gives me the opportunity to look for a new one haha
