KOREAN COSMETICS: THE FACE SHOP CUSHION BLUSHER

My orders came for some awesome Korean Cosmetics! I'm really excited because these are so so CUTE (packaging wise)!!!

Let me introduce myself first! Hi, I'm Leenie and I am a blush addict!!!

I love blushes of all shapes and colors and I definitely don't discriminate!

The Face Shop is a Korean cosmetic brand that makes anything from BB creams to lipsticks and everything in between. I'm not too familiar with Korean cosmetics that much but I have seen a lot of the products online so I just went ahead and got the cutest packaging because I am a SUCKER for packaging of course! :P

I got two of The Face Shop Cushion Blushers: Rose Cushion and Coral Cushion (because I am OBSESSED WITH CORAL)

SWATCH: Left: Rose Right: Coral NO FLASH

REVIEW TIME 

DESPITE the fact that these blushes are in the cutest packaging, these were not my favorite blushes because they are not very pigmented. The swatches took forever for me to do because they just could not show up. The lasting time for these blushes are really short because they're really chalky so it rubs off really easily. 

10/10 for CUTE packaging! 

5/10 for the quality of the blush...

DRUGSTORE MAKEUP HAUL! MAYBELLINE PRODUCTS!

SO..... I've been really bad and bough more makeup that I will ever need in my life. BUT Wal-Mart was having such a great deal! A lot of the new Maybelline products were only $5.97 which was great because normally they would be over $10 bucks! And the nail polishes were only $2.50! :O

I honestly think I have problems with money. No amount of business classes could help me and I've taken 6! I guess I'll just have to deal with the fact that I will be alone and broke in the future! :(

LASTING DRAMA WATERPROOF GEL EYELINER IN BLACKEST BLACK 

So the first thing I wanted to try was the gel eyeliner! 

REVIEW:
I really like this because it's a dryer formula than most of the gel eyeliners that I've tried and it's just great for me because I have oily eyelids! :( When companies say something is waterproof and 24 hours, they're just hyping it up. This will definitely NOT last that long and it will smudge but that's all makeup right? I really like the brush of this but still prefer an angled eyeliner brush to put this kind of eyeliner on. The pigmentation is great and the formula is dry like I have stated before so this is GREAT! This was much cheaper than my Estee Lauder gel eyeliner and I prefer this over that one as well! 

MASTER PRECISE PEN EYELINER IN BLACK


REVIEW:

I really need to stop buying these pen form eyeliners unless they are waterproof or something. This is great and the pen IS really that thin but to be honest, I don't need a thin pen because I like thicker lines. This will DEFINITELY smudge if you don't put primer or matte-fy the eyelids ahead of time because when this touches water or oil, it will move in an instant. Cray cray right? I need to stop spending money on things like this. 





Next things I got was nail polish! I am obsessed with coral and mint green this spring/all year round so I decided to pick up only 2 from this Maybelline line. I actually controlled myself for once! 

REVIEW:
These polishes are really bright and the color you see is the color that goes on the nails. The color is really opaque and definitely can be built up with more coats. It's nothing professional and it WILL chip but it's nail polish and it was cheap so I didn't mine. I just love these two colors! 


I went ahead and got two of the Maybelline Vivids lipstick line because I've heard really great things about. GUESS what colors I got? Shocking Coral and Vibrant Mandarin of course! Any lip product that has the words coral or looks orangy, I am THERE!

REVIEW:
I LOVE these lipsticks. It's not dry on the lips and it has so shimmer. I think that a lot of companies are trying not put a lot of glitter and shimmer into their products because it gets too much for daily looks. I think that these are great colors that I would wear day to day! The color stays on for a reasonable amount of time before it starts to fade and I just like the way they apply. They have a good smell to it and doesn't taste waxy which I like. I hate those cheap lipsticks that smell and taste really bad. YUCK! 

There goes more money that I probably didn't have to spend on these products so yup there you go! 

It's funny because I know no one really reads my blog but it's nice to write to people, even if it's myself!  LOL I'm a loser, I know! :P

RIMMEL LONDON PURPLE TUBE LIPSTICK IN CORAL QUEEN

Omg I'm obsessed with coral if it wasn't clear enough. Today my friends and I went to the drug store and found Rimmel lipstick on sale for $3.99. I've always had my eye on this coral colour so I only limited myself to buy one and this was it! I'm so excited and can't wait to use it!!!

I apologize for the iPhone quality photos but I didn't feel like getting my SLR camera out! #LazyProblems lol ;)




I put the over my Earth Science textbook but it just didn't look right. LOL 



DROOL over lipstick, can this even happen? LOOOOL 

REVIEW: This lipstick is really moisturizing and the color payoff is GREAT! I love anything coral so I don't mind the brand. I do however thing that drugstore packaging is kind of cheap looking which is ok because the price is cheap but I really like the purple tubes of these lipsticks. I personally really like CoverGirl's packaging a lot!

ESTEE LAUDER HAUL

So being an addict to makeup, I am SOLD every time there is a gift with purchase. Marketing people really knew what they were doing with this one.

So Estee Lauder has a Lilly Pulitzer gift with purchase. Now, being a sorority girl, I was all up on this!

This was the gift. I'm saving the bag and the toiletry stuff for when I ACTUALLY go on a sorority trip  or traveling!!! 

AND you also get this palette if you spend over $80! They sure know how to get you to spend money. 

Normally I don't shop at department stores for makeup unless if it's skincare from Clinique or what my mom buys from Lancome. LOL 

Ended up spending $100 that day! :O

***Also, I'm not impressed with Canadian prices! :( 

PURE COLOR LONG LASTING LIPSTICK 
COLOR: CORAL SUN (OBSESSED WITH CORAL) 
TYPE: CREME 





I just can't get over coral! I basically only buy coral and pink lipsticks now... it's such a bad habit but I love it! 
CAD $32.00 
USD $25.00 -.-


PURE COLOR BLUSH 
COLOR: POPPY PASSION 07
TYPE: A LITTLE SHIMMER, MOSTLY MATTE


It looks really orange like in the picture but I assure you that it is ACTUALLY a red toned color. I think this is gorgeous because I am a BLUSH JUNKIE AND NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT IT. Honestly though, it goes on well and it's pretty matte so LOVE! 

$32.00 

DOUBLE WEAR STAY-IN PLACE GEL EYELINER
COLOR: BLACK 




I know that Estee Lauder makes good cream eyeshadows but I needed a gel eyeliner and it's probably the same formula as the Bobbi Brown or Mac one because it's all under the same Estee Lauder umbrella company. I just love gel eyeliner although I think I'm going to be in need of a new brush really soon! 

$25.00 

***PRICES ARE ALL IN CND UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE! 

Hoped you all enjoy shopping and am obsessed with makeup as I am!!! I need to stop like honestly... This is not good for me... or my wallet! :'(
