I purchased my first eyeshadow quad in 2013. Although the Dolly Wink shadows are already vibrant and vivid, the shadow would always be gone from my eyes by the end of the day. I came across lots of recommendations for the Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer and decided to purchase it in early 2014. Many bloggers have said that the quality of this eye primer is on par or even better than Urban Decay's Primer Potion (which back in 2013, Urban Decay was not available in Australia).
I believe the box, but not the product packaging, has now been updated.
Contents: 10ml
Price: 5,500won
Directions: Use fingers to gently apply primer to upper and lower eyelids prior to eyeshadow application. Also applicable prior to eyeliner application.
Proof 10 Eye Primer supplies coverage to eyelids and around the eyes to enhance eyeshadow color and integrity for a longer lasting, perfect 10 look.
Previously, I have reviewed the #1 Cherry Pink version of the TonyMoly Cat Chu Wink Tony Tint. The original Tony Tint has been reformulated a few times with the Delight Tony Tint the latest offering (from memory, it was reformulated at the end of 2014).
The TonyMoly Delight Tony Tint comes in three colours:
1. Cherry Pink
2. Red
3. Orange Cha Cha
This lip tint contains Jojoba seed oil to help condition lips and express vivid colour.

'Bite Me' is part of Etude House's 2014 Valentine's Day 'Seven Special Moments' collection. The entire series has names which depict different key stages of a relationship: from the honeymoon phase to the breakup phase, and unrequited love. My favourite name of the series is 'Love Me Forever'-- it just sounds so romantic and captures that princess-prince fairytale element of Etude House's brand.
There are seven perfumes in the series:
1. No More (green floral)
2. Bite Me (citrus)
3. Take Me (powdery floral musk)
4. Why Not Me (floral musk)
5. Fresh Me Up (floral musk)
6. Love Me Forever (fresh floral)
7. Before You Go (fruity floral)
A good eyelash glue makes the difference between being able to enjoy your day or night without your false eyelashes falling off or poking you in the eye. A good eyelash glue should also be easy to dissolve with makeup remover and easy to clean off lashes.
My favourite lashes are Matsuwaka Tsubasa's Dolly Wink. Strangely enough, I don't have a good impression of Koji through the products I have tried by the company, but I have a very good impression of Dolly Wink which is produced by Koji *shrug*
There are two types of eyelash glues in the Dolly Wink collection: transparent (clear) and black. There is also a tiny tube of glue included when you purchase eyelashes. The formula for the squeezy tube and the brush tube are different. The version I have here is the transparent brush version.
BB creams are by far my favourite type of makeup. It just makes your skin look flawless by covering up scars and blemishes, and much less cakey and heavy than foundation. A good bb cream should contain skincare benefits and act as an all in one primer, foundation, and suncare. Of course, you should still wear sunscreen on top of your base makeup as you won't use nearly enough to provide adequate suncare protection.
I remember watching a short segment about Lioele on Arirang. Their bb creams are one of the best sellers of the brand. Several Youtubers I have watched such as Bubzbeauty, ElaineMokk, and Shaaaanxo have talked about this particular bb cream. I decided to try the Triple the Solution formula rather than the Beyond the Solution formula as I wanted heavier coverage.
This product makes your skin moist as yoghurt and hyaluronic acid supply moisture and nutrition. It is a low stimulating product since it doesn't contain the ingredient of organic ultraviolet screen. The index of SPF 30 and PA ++ not only controls the generation of skin blemish but makes your skin bright.
I have not had much experience with mists before, but I know that they are a popular item in Korea. Whilst I was at Priceline, a group of Korean girls came in to ask the sales assistant about mists and he had no idea what they were talking about. To be fair, they are not that prominent in Western skincare. From memory, I have only seen a Sukin Toner in a mist bottle at Priceline. The Priceline website tells me they also stock a Natio and Model Co toner mist.
Drawn in by the advertisements by former f(x) member Sulli, I picked up a bottle of the Dust Cut Mist on my trip to Singapore in February 2015.
This is a mist that protects skin from harmful environment by forming a protective outer barrier and providing care with its plant extracts that clarify dull and exhausted skin.
3CE has their packaging and presentation on point. I love the sleek, minimalistic range with its professional look. Yes, it does remind me of M.A.C though I did not get the appeal to either 3CE or M.A.C for a long, long time. My taste in makeup has finally moved from teenager to early-mid twenties and suddenly everything about 3CE looked cool. It also helps that they have gorgeous models to promote their items: from makeup to clothes. I am not as much into fashion as into makeup and skincare, so their clothing advertising hasn't won me over yet (thank goodness- otherwise I would be spending more money).
Here are the few things I have from their line.
