[REVIEW] Etude House Rosy Tint Lips - #7 Tea Rose



Hello~! Today’s review is the first in a long line of lipstick reviews I’ll be putting out.. I’ll try and switch it up and not do lipsticks every time it’s my turn, but… I’m a lipstick junkie, and I’m constantly trying out different colors or brands so I thought it’d be nice to post my thoughts on some of the ones I’ve bought.

So, without further ado, my review for today is on Etude House’s Rosy Tint Lips in #7 Tea Rose! It’s always trendy to wear darker or more muted colors in fall and winter, but I wear whatever color I really feel like wearing, no matter what time of year it is, haha. Pink is always a cute and fresh color, and I love trying out different shades of it, but sometimes it’s disheartening for me when, while it looked ridiculously cute on the paler model, it became a bit too light/pale/cool on me. And sometimes, a color will look completely fine on me when I’m wearing a full face of makeup, but when I don’t have on anything besides the lip color it looks incomplete or just a smidgen out of place.

[REVIEW] Rilakkuma x A'PIEU Collaboration Water Light Tint, PK01 Cherry Blossom





Well, howdy y'all!
I apologize for being absent last time around and just kind of all over the place in general. Between work and cons, life has been hectic. It still kind of is, but I'm getting my priorities straight.
We've also decided to switch our posting days from Sunday to Saturday to see if that works better with our schedules.

But I'm back now to the blogging game! And with more Rilakkuma. ♥ Because you can never have too much of this bear in your life.
That's right. This week we have my new favorite lip tint of all times: Rilakkuma x A'PIEU Collaboration Water Light Tint in the color PK01 Cherry Blossom.
I bought this along with the eyeshadow palette I reviewed in my last post and a blush (guess what my next post will be? Oh yes. )

[REVIEW] Mizon Recovery Snail Gel Cream





Hello! Sorry for the unexpected hiatus. Vic went to a con last weekend and I was swamped with homework the week before. I’m also going to NYCC tomorrow so I’m posting this today instead of passing out on Saturday without posting. Anyway, this week’s review is on Mizon’s Snail Recovery Gel Cream! They describe it as a ‘lightweight snail gel cream containing 74% snail secretion filtrate.’ I actually used this product sort of religiously in sophomore or junior year in high school, and just got back to using it again because I got tired of buying Benton’s snail bee venom essence, which was a lot more expensive than this, when I remembered it and the Mizon gel working pretty similarly.
