Review: Missha Super Aqua Ultra Water-Full Cream & Control Emulsion

Tuesday, November 29, 2016

Good evening! Missha US still has a 40% sale through 11/30 so I thought I would try to get my review of a couple of Missha Super Aqua products out in case you wanted to take advantage of the lowered prices (as though you need yet another sale to look at 😉). I had picked up the Super Aqua Ultra Water-Full Cream and Ultra Water-Full Control Emulsion the last time Missha had such a massive sale and have used both products for months.

Review: [innisfree] No-Sebum Mineral Powder and Blur Primer

Sunday, November 27, 2016

For the great part of the last year, I actually considered the oil production on my face to be at an all time low. I rarely found myself blotting ( it took me over a year and a half to finish a packet of Tatcha blotting papers) or even bringing along pressed powder in my purse. However in the last few months there's been an ongoing out-of-control sebum party going in my tzone and I find myself needing more products to keep myself from looking greasy, because you can't call the cops on your androgens.

One Heck Of A Workhorse: Viseart 01 Neutral Matte Palette

Monday, November 7, 2016

Hey, remember how I'm on the lookout for a matte palette since I dropped my custom palette and shattered a lot of my neutral pans? I ordered Viseart Neutral Matte Palette 01 after much hemming and hawing.

Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Crush

Wednesday, October 12, 2016

So I've been in the market for a pinky nude matte liquid lipstick the past few months. I tried quite a few that didn't fit the bill - [CLIO] Chesire (review here) Chanel Rouge Allure Ink in Amoureux quickly turned orange on me and Clinique Pop Liquid Matte in Cake Pop.... well, it never dried and was still glossy like a sticky lipgloss a half an hour later (see below). I swatched a few shades at the department store and ended up bringing home Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstck in Crush.
