Eyeshadow haul : Innisfree, Elianto, MAC

I have been enjoying warmer and redder tones for my eyeshadows this season. To expand my warm tones collection, I have been purchasing new eyeshadows from Asian brands. I am giving Asian brands the chance again since they have improved the quality of their eyeshadows and the price still remained affordable. Also, I have been loving a softer pigmentation that Asian eyeshadow offers.

I picked up eyeshadows from Innisfree and Elianto.

I bought a few Elianto eyeshadows previously and I ended up liking them so I went back to purchase some more.

This time I went back to purchase two more shades.

Thulian Pink is a muted pink shade with shimmers. The shimmers aren't obvious application, it provides a satin finish to the eyeshadow.

Cocoa is a milk chocolate shade. This seems to be one of the popular shades since there were not many left at the counter and I could totally understand why.
It is a very versatile and natural shade. It is great for days if you just want a splash of colour on your lids.

I went to Innisfree the other day, I had so much fun swatching the eyeshadows and ended up with three of them.

Innisfree Mineral Eyeshadow in Matte 04.
It is the typical milk chocolate shade that is super versatile. I love the formula and texture of the Innisfree eyeshadows. They are one of my favourite Korean roadshop eyeshadow brand. They go on really soft and smooth, the texture really buttery too.

Innisfree Mineral Eyeshadow in Shimmer 01
It is a light peachy brown. I really enjoy the texture of the shimmer eyeshadows, they are just super buttery. Upon swatching with finger, they give off a wet shimmer look which is extremely beautiful.
The pigmentation is top notch too.

Innisfree Mineral Eyeshadow in Shimmer 05
This is a golden bronze shade. This shade is breathtakingly beautiful.

At the duty free, I picked up some MAC eyeshadows and I thought I would be great to shade it in this post too.

I had plan to get more shades but many of them were out of stock. In the end, I only ended up picking up two shades.

MAC Charcoal Brown.
There's nothing very charcoal-y about the shade. It is a soft neutral brown with hints of ashy undertones.
This is the only matte brown shade left at the counter.

MAC Amber Lights.
This is one of the MAC eyeshadows that I have wanted for such a long time and I am so happy that I got it. This is such a beautiful shade.
Amber Lights is a warm golden bronze shade.

That's all the eyeshadows I hauled this time.

Roseroseshop haul

This is my first time placing an order on Roseroseshop. I used to get my dose of Korean beauty products from Qoo10 but the shops that I used to shop has since then become inactive or they do not stock up on new products as fast as they used to anymore.

I did some calculations. Since I am getting whole ton of items including my mum's and sister's items. So, even with shipping, Roseroseshop still has the cheaper price.
I got so much stuffs that my parcel was so heavy that EMS was cheaper than normal shipping. With EMS, shipping is lightning speed fast. I placed my order today and within 2 days my order has arrived to my home.

I will post my portion of the haul, I am not going to include my mum's and sister's items or our shared items because mostly they are not very interesting items and the post will be too long then.
We are only interested in the makeup bit, aren't we?

You all just know I have an obsession with lip products.

Innisfree Smart Foundation.
As I know of, this foundation comes in 4 different types to cater to different needs. You can either use the foundation by itself or mix it with other foundations from the same line with different functions to create your perfect foundation.
I picked up the Water Balancing since I am all about moisturization and dewy finish.

The foundation size is half the size of a normal foundation at 15ml but I did not expect it to appear so tiny.
The price of this foundation is really affordable at 5500 Won. So even by mixing and matching, it doesn't hurt the wallet.

A'Pieu Silk Light Skin Ampoule Foundation.
I am going to admit that I bought this foundation because it was cheap and pretty. Also, a total reminiscence of the Dior serum foundation or L'oreal Nude Magique foundation. You know along the lines of the super watery foundations.

Innisfree Real Fluid Rouge in Ballerina Pink.
I like Innisfree lip products. They have a fair share of good lip products so I just thought that I pick up their Real Fluid Rouge to try out.
It really reminds me of the Dior Addict Fluid Stick which I really love.

Ballerina Pink is a soft girly pink.

The other Innisfree lip products I got are the Creammellow Lipstick.
The name just got me. It seems like the lipstick will be creamy smooth and marshmallow soft on the lips. Sounds really good right?

I picked up two shades which is #2 Vanilla Pink and #5 Sweet Peach Butter

#2 Vanilla Pink is a pinky nude.

#5 Sweet Peach Butter. I do not know why there's a peach in the name because honestly in real life, I could not see the peach in it at all.
It is a bright rosy pink.

Etude House Color in Liquid Lips.
I just can't stop myself from getting this. Look at the packaging, isn't it so cute?

They also really remind me of the Dior Addict Fluid Stick. Looks like every brand have their version of the fluid stick.

I got two shades which are PK 006 and BE 102.

BE 102 is a pinky beige nude.

PK 006 is a rosy pink.

Aritaum Sugarball Cushion Blusher in Posy Pink

This line of blushers comes with two versions, one is the velvet which is powder form and the cushion which is in cream form. I picked up the cushion because I just wanted another cream blush. Most of my blush are in powder form and I just thought of extending my cream blush collection. Cream blushers have a beautiful natural finish with a glow which is ideal for those seeking the dewy natural look. Also, Aritaum is a good budget Korean brand. I have some items from this brand and so far they work well on me.

It comes with a sponge which can be neat but I doubt I will ever apply cream blusher with a sponge. 

Innisfree Glossy Lip Lacquer

I got these lip lacquer last autumn because I was so intrigued by the autumn shades offered. I find some of the shades quite unique.
I picked up 'Maple Burgundy Pink' (Right) and 'Misty Purple' (Left) which I find are the two most unique shades from the collection.

Maple Burgundy Pink is a wine burgundy with pink undertones. You don't see many wine colours outside with a pink undertone. I find the pink undertone to somehow give a girly touch to this mysterious autumn colour.

Misty Purple is a light medium pink with purple undertones. It is one of the typical girly shades with an autumn kick.

The packaging of the glosses are very simple and bland but practical. I guess to go with their eco-friendly theme.

For a gloss, they are pigmented. I would had name them a opaque lipgloss instead of lip lacquer. They do not last as long as a lipstick does but they stay fairly long enough on the lips , 3-4 hours. They are very glossy like their name, it's really high shine.
The texture is smooth and they are not sticky.

These glosses come in 9 shades and a clear gloss. There are shades for everyone ranging from light girly pinks to bright coral to burgundy wine.
Overall, they are fun glosses to own. I would recommend picking one of them to try.

Pure Aura : The Face Shop, A'Pieu, Missha, Innisfree

Summer was the time for crazy online shopping. I was letting loose with too much in hauling and I haven't post up all my hauls.

Here's another haul post that I did in Summer. 

It is another CC cream loot. I did went crazy with CC creams, I know some people didn't buy the gimmick/concept because of the sheer coverage but I am loving them. 

This time, I got a brand that I never ventured before, A'pieu. A'pieu Aurora Luminous CC Cream. 

The Face Shop Faceit Aura Color CC Cream.

The lip colours were Missha Glam Art Triple Lips and Innisfree Creamy Tint Lipstick. 

The A'Pieu CC cream comes in a transparent plastic box. I would say this is interesting, it is the first time seeing a makeup item comes in a box like that. It's a really sturdy box that would last through rain, heat and bashing up from transit. 

The packaging is very beautiful with the glittery black bottle and purple flower designs. I love it. 

The CC cream comes in a push-type. 

The top is a concealer for those who needs more coverage. 

It comes with 30ml worth of CC cream and 2.9g of concealer. The price is on the pricier side for a roadshop brand. I bought it for about USD22 or so, I don't really remember. 

The Face Shop Face it Aura Color CC Cream.

I have heard great reviews about CC cream because it has better coverage than most CC creams out in the market.

The CC cream comes in a unique compact case. I find these type of packaging really convenient for application anytime and anywhere.

I haven't remove the sticker but that's the hole where the product comes out.

Next, I got the lip item that is heavily promoted in Korea.

Missha Signature Glam Art Triple Lips in Mambo Pink.

When I was watching the drama 'Nine', I kept seeing the CF of BoA promoting this lip product.
This lip product works as a tint. lipgloss or lipstick depending on the amount of layers you apply.

The packaging is really sleek and sturdy.
This lip product is slightly on the pricier side for roadshop brands.

Innisfree Creamy Tint Lipstick

The colour is one of the recommended colour in #2 Cocktail Pink

It is a hot pink colour, the 'hot' colour for the spring/summer season. It's not spring/summer season anymore but who cares. Hot pink is still my favourite lipcolour.

Autumn blues : Innisfree, Tony Moly

Today is the first day of Uni. To be honest,I am still feeling really lost. It is like I left my heart at home. 

Okay, let's stop rambling and go through my summer hauls. A continuation post of the hauls from  my summer holidays! 

After going through reviews after reviews, I got so tempted to get these four items. 

The TonyMoly Intense Care Galactomyces First Essence is a dupe for the infamous SKII Essence.  decided to get the TonyMoly because it is slightly cheaper than Missha's. 

The TonyMoly Crystal Blusher is one highly raved blusher in Korea. It's cheap yet it gives a good colour pay off. 

The Innisfree Air Skin Fit BB Cream and Real Skin CC Cream are newly introduced in the summer. There have been good reviews about the BB cream being long lasting, light weight and good coverage. 

The TonyMoly Crystal Blusher comes in a sturdy crystal packaging. 

The colour I got is Milky Violet. 

It is a lavender colour which complements yellow skin tones by brightening up the complexion. 

The packaging for the TonyMoly First Essence. 

The bottle looks expensive but the bottle is actually frosted plastic. 

Innisfree eco-friendly packaging. Made from recycled paper and printed with soy ink.

The CC cream comes in a pump dispenser bottle whereas the BB cream comes in a classic BB cream type squeezy tube. 

Colour my world : Innisfree mini buy

I can't believe it I still have 2 days before I am heading back to Moscow. I do not like this feeling.
I wish that time could stop right now and I would be at home forever.

Anyway, I am going to do a small mini loot post.

I got these because they were a 'hit' item in Korea, they sold out as soon as they are introduced on the shelf.
They Korean blogosphere where raving about it, on how creamy and greatly pigmented it is.
It is the Innisfree Creamy Tint Lipstick.

Eventhough It is labeled as a lipstick, this product works 3 ways.
It can be used as a lipstick, liptint and also blusher.

The packaging is eco-friendly, it is made out of waste paper and printed with soy ink.

The colour I got is 1 Flower Buds Pink and 3 Dreamy Orange.
They is a total selection of 15 colours. 5 of which is newly released.

The packaging is really simple with a colour coded cap at the bottom.

#1 Flower Buds Pink is a deep rose colour.

#3 Dreamy Orange is a bright orange.

I really love all the colours offered by this line. I really want to get all of them if I could.

They are slightly more expensive compared to other roadshop brands at 12,000Won for 3.5g of product but it is worth the price because, a little goes a long way. It is so pigmented!
