A'pieu X Rilakumma Air Fit Cushion XP


Hello guys! I am back! I'm doing a review on the Rilakkuma x A'pieu Air Fit Cushion XP. As you can see, I have this frenzy over cute Korean Cushion compacts, thus, the crazy spending over cushions. 

Packaging

Packaging is very cute. To be honest, this is their selling point for me. It comes in a vibrant yellow box with Rilakumma as the design. The compact also have the same design.


The box includes an extra refill and a puff. I got mine in the shade No. 23 which I think is the darker shade of the two. Korean Cushions tend to be light in shades since most Koreans are very fair. No. 23 for me is not an exact match to my skin color but it's manageable since most cushion foundations oxidize. 


This is how the inside looks like. There is a small compartment for the puff. The puff design is really adorable. It has the face of Rilakkuma all over. 


This is the cushion foundation itself. As I've said earlier I got the shade No. 23. The shade looks dark but when on the face, it's really light. 

Background on my skin

I am an NC30 to NC35 for MAC. Although I am leaning towards NC30 now. I have normal to dry skin. 

Product testing 

This is my bare face without any primers or moisturizers. 


And this is my face with the A'pieu Air Fit Cushion XP. 


Thoughts

I like the finish of the foundation. It's semi-matte. It's easy to apply. It doesn't crease and it's not patchy. Plus I think the shade is an okay match with my skintone. It also balanced the redness and dark spots which is another plus. Overall, I like the product. 

Would you repurchase: I would probably just repurchase the refill :) 

Would I recommend it to others: Yes! If you have a light skin tone, I highly recommend it.

Peripera Disney's Frozen Collection

Hello girls! Sorry for not being online again for a long time :(  I just didn't have the inspiration to write and blog that's why it's been taking me forever to write. 

Anyways, I came across a very lovely collection the other week and it is the Peripera Disney's Frozen makeup collection. I know it's been out in Korea over a year ago but here in Malaysia, it has just been recently out in the market. By the way, Peripera is a Korean drugstore brand that sells makeup and it has cute packaging. I bought 2 items from the collection and that is Watery Cushion and the Anna Lipgloss.


Watery Face Pride Up in 01 Peach Beige



I really love this Cushion. I know Étude House has it's own version as well as CLIO and Laneige. This is my first time owning a CC Cushion and I am very impressed with the product. 


It has a picture of Princess Elsa on the cover. 


Inside it has a cushion with the Peripera sign.


When you open it comes the sponge cushion where the cream comes out. You only need to press it and then dab it on your skin. 

Verdict:

I am quite impressed as it gives coverage. I thought it cannot cover imperfections like redness and acne marks but surprisingly it did. I have my redness and dark spots on my face and it did cover it with only a dab. I didn't use any concealer and I am truly impressed with the coverage. It also feels like skin. It feels like you are not wearing anything as it is light weight. 

Magic Glam Lipstain in 02 I'm happy Kristoff


The collection has two shades of lipstain, one is a hot pink which has Princess Elsa's face and I bought this coral/orange with Anna's on the cover. 


As what I said, it is a coral/orange shade. I love wearing corals so I got this one. It smells terrific by the way. It smells like an orange lol 


It has a doe foot applicator. The finish is a matte finish. Consistency is like the matte lip creams of NYX but it doesn't really give a color pay off. 

Verdict:

A little bit disappointed with the lip stain because I thought it would give an orange coral shade on my lips. I think I have to wear a lip concealer first to hide the color of my lips before wearing this one. I like the packaging though and the scent of the product is a thumbs up.

Korean Product Haul: CLIO Gelpresso Mini Eyeliner and CLIO Lipnicure


Hi guys! I'm back!!

I'm here to share with you guys my latest haul. CLIO is a Korean Cosmetic brand. As you can see, it is endorsed by none other than Sandara Park...primarily the reason why i bought the product...LOL :))


As far as I know, CLIO is the number 1 Korean eyeliner brand. Well, if Sandara Park uses it, it must be good...I really love her cat eyes. Very feminine... 

I've seen this brand back. Some online sellers do have it but I think it's not yet sold legitimately in the Philippine market. Here in Malaysia, it's been launched recently at Watsons. It's found in the drugstore but it's not as cheap as E.L.F. or not as high end as Laneige. For a drugstore product, it's quite expensive...in my opinion.

I bought 2 from the rack which is Gelpresso - it contains 5 mini eyeliners which is waterproof and budge proof; and the Lipnicure. I've always been curious about the Lipnicure. There has been an obsession for Liquid Formulation lipsticks that when applied turns matte. When I first saw this, that was exactly in my head...sort of like the Limecrime velvetines. 


That is the Limited Edition CLIO Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner. Well...that's Sandara Park on the Warhol-ish cover. Pretty neat if you ask me ^_^ 

CLIO GELPRESSO PENCIL GEL LINER MINI HD COLOR EDITION

It is filled with sliding gel texture in the retractable mini auto pencil. It glides on smoothly and gives high-defined eye-line. Creamy and melting formula stays put all day long without smudge.


Contains 5 mini liners in cute colors 

Golden Shine No. 9
Bloody Angel No.7
Deep Sea Blue No.10
Jade Green No.11
Golden Black No.5


CLIO VIRGIN KISS LIPNICURE 

Manicure for the lips. Specially developed  to provide extreme long-lasting effect and high intensity colors for a flawless finish with a single touch upon lips.


I got the shade in 3 Crime Pink.


It's a muted coral-pink shade. I love this color. 


It has a curved doe-foot applicator. I don't really find the applicator helpful. The packaging looks like a nail polish packaging.


When applied, it is a cream form. You have to wait 30 seconds for the Lipnicure to settle.


It becomes matte afterwards. 

My thoughts on the product:

I haven't fully utilized the products but I will give my in depth review soon. First impression wise, I like the Gelpresso liners. It is very much waterproof. I tried it for maybe 4 times already and it doesn't come off easily. You need a makeup remover to get it off. I like the Lipnicure but it gives the chapped effect on my lips. I can't wear it alone. I need to buy the gloss for the Lipnicure.
