Review: TonyMoly Kiss Lover Love

Hello everyone!

I apologies for such a long break (OMG, over the month T.T). Olympiads take all my time and this Sunday would be a day that can change my life! Maybe I will write a post about this next week…

Anyway, today I have a review on my first orange tint TonyMoly Kiss Lover Love in 2 Love Orange!

Description
(from Cosmetic-Love)

“ Tonymoly Kiss Lover Live Tint : Upgrade Tint
1. Liquid type tint which helps to express a lively red colour as apple on your lips!
2. Contains jojoba oil ease the absorption, restore cells and boost suppleness on lips.
3. Also contains other nourishing ingredients to help the lips look lively and vibrant.”
  
It comes in 3 shades :

1. Live Pink
2. Live Orange
3. Live Red

I got this little bottle about 2 month ago and have been using it almost every single day. It was the first time me trying something orange on my face and I noticed that it looks so pretty! I have a warm undertone and pink blushes and lipsticks look nice as well but sometimes, especially in the wintertime, it can look like I am sick lol You know, when your natural blush looks through your makeup and mix with cosmetic blush (my English sucks TT.TT) you may look like Russian doll Matreshka :D

So orange makeup is my love now haha But I am not a big fan of this product.



Packaging is simple and girly. The size is perfect to take it anywhere and I personally keep it in my bag.


The prettiest things are these hearts! It is so so cute! I haven’t noticed them at first but when I took photos I fell in love :D


The applicator is small but it doesn’t really matter for me.



It is a bright orange water! Seriously, it is very watery so if you are a fan of Etude House cream tints it isn’t for you. Because of that the tint isn’t very pigmented if you immediately blend it but you can layer it up.

It has strange (for me everything is strange :D) sweet chemical scent and the taste reminds me Love Is bubblegum O..O”

This tint has 2 HUGE drawbacks:
1) If you have something on your lips, for example foundation, concealer or even a thick layer of lip balm, it will form little balls like a peeling gel and go away :DD God, I don’t know how to explain this T.T And it doesn’t do it on my hand >< So annoying…
2) It has a very sticky formula so it doesn’t feel like a normal tint or a lip gloss. It is sticky but it isn’t creamy. Strange feeling and I do not like it at all!

Pros
 - Is not very pigmented
- Handy packaging
- Price

 Cons
 - Strange sticky feeling
- Can’t be applied on top of concealer or lipbalm
- Small range of colors

In total

I love the color but it is hard to work with.

Where to buy

Have bought my bottle in official store for ~12$ but you can get it from Cosmetic-Love for only 8.43!

Review: Welcos Color Change Blemish Balm SPF25 PA++ 50ml

Hello everyone! Today I have another review for you!
I think, I’m a little bit crazy about face makeup products. I really love buying new foundations and concealers and can’t stop searching for a perfect one haha So here is the review on Welcos Color Change Blemish Balm SPF25 PA++ 50ml
Description
(from TesterKorea)

" - With‘Color Capsule Stabilization Technology’containing capsule color particles in moisture base, the formula creates revitalized skin texture stressing makeup tone which is the most suitable to your skin by adding a function of correcting skin tone of makeup base to BB cream.
- Soft adhesion and perfect blemish covering function make your skin luminous naturally and help you to create moist and healthy makeup."

It comes in only one shade which is very disappointing.




The packaging is simple but may look a bit strange coz it describes you how the bb cream “changes color” lol


The tube doesn’t have any pump and I personally don’t like it at all because it is very unhygienic and messy.


It is a light-green thick cream with small dark granules that I think is color pigment (but I’m not sure). The cream is very creamy, blends easily and a little goes a long way. It takes about 15-30 seconds to change color.
Scent of the bb cream is disgusting! I can’t explain it but OMG it is awful :C And also I DO feel the cream and how it smells on my face.


Shade
Match my skin color on my face, brightens it up (but it is still a little bit darker than skin on wrist). Has a yellow undertone after oxidation.

Adaptation
Takes about 5-6 minutes to set after the color changing. It adapts pretty well to not too pale and not too dark skin (NC20-NC30 I think).

Texture
Very thick consistency but spreads out easily.

Application
I can’t use a brush or a sponge to blend this bb cream. Fingers only!

Coverage
The coverage is medium to full but I like that it doesn’t look cakey at all.

Oil-control
T zone starts to shine after about 5 hours even if my skin is not very oily.

Finish
The bb cream gives a matte finish. But not a dead matte, I will name it “not shiny” face. It does smooth out my pores and feels nice.

Pros
 - Nice matte and smooth finish
- Yellow undertone
- Good coverage
- Is not cakey even after layering
- Big amount of product
- Price

 Cons
 - Awful scent
- Feels on skin
- No range of shades

In total
I like this cream but I’m not a huge fan of it. And don’t think I will repurchase it.

Where to buy
You can get the full size or a 10ml sample on TesterKorea.

47 Ronin, strange shoes and a small haul

Happy New Year everyone! It is very strange to realize that it is already 2014 and I have never thought that time can fly so fast. I hope that all your wishes will come true and there will be no more acts of terrorism or epidemics this year.

I’m so sorry, guys, for not uploading for such a long time but I have not seen my keyboard for over the month. School and olympiads take every minute in my life. But finally I pass all my exams and have some time for shopping. You know, for me shopping is a bit stressful coz I can’t deal with leg pain and backache :C However I’m still happy to buy new cloths and cosmetic :D



Today my mom and me were going to watch Hobbit but the tickets were sold out and we had to watch 47 Ronin. The only thing that I can say this film sucks. Seriously, I don't like it at all, too boring for me. But there is one exception: Akanishi Jin. OMG guys he is AMAZING here so innocent and cute~ People next to me were shocked when I said “Jin, you can kill me right here if it will help” lol   
So cute bow-ties in Henderson 




I don't know if it is popular somewhere but for me it looks ugly T.T

Pandas~

Love this pic

 Deffinetely will buy this hat next time



I look like a sleepy panda so Cloud Time!

Haul


In May TonyMoly opened an official store in Golden Babylon (a mall which is not far from my house). It is more expensive than most of online shops but very handy coz I don’t have to wait for weeks my order to come. Today I bought some TM products and also visited Letoile, our local multi brand cosmetics store
