KOREAN COSMETICS: TONY MOLY CAT CHU WINK LIPSTICK

My name is Leenie and I am a makeupholic! :S 

Anyways, lately I've really just been loving lipsticks! They're just so great! Props to who ever invented lipsticks because I swear there are millions of shades and brands and tubes out there in the world of LIPSTICKS! Does anyone feel like a new obsession coming on? I DO! 

So. I love Korean cosmetics and everything that has to do with cute packaging so I ordered two of the Tony Moly Cat Chu Wink lipsticks. Wow, that was a hand full to read/say in my head! :P

I got it in TWO colors: Coral POP (because I'm OBSESSED with anything coral) and Pink Wink 

Let's just take a moment and admire how adorable this packaging is! LIKE WOW! SO CUTE! ^^

REVIEW TIME 

Aside from the adorably jaw dropping packaging, the formulation is pretty great for these lipsticks. I would consider them more of a balm type lipstick like Revlon Lip Butters but the Tony Moly ones are less greasy feeling. They have light color pigmentation so it's not really BAM! in your face coral or BARBIE pink. I feel like the colors are really subtle and looks natural. They enhance your lip colors a little big and leaves them feeling moisturized. I think that all Asian cosmetics are very subtle has this Dolly look to them. This is not for you if you enjoy the super dramatic clubbing makeup but this is DEFINITELY for you if you're more into the sweet summer dress out and about look! :)

SMASHBOX CAMERA READY BB CREAM

HEY YA'll!

I don't know why it took me so long to jump on the Smashbox BB cream wagon but I got on and I'm NEVER leaving! 

I picked this up the other day because one of my friends got this and was raving about it! As a person that can be easily influenced by other people's opinions, obviously I had to try it out for myself. I see a lot of Youtubers rave about this but I don't know why (actaully I do know why, it's the price) but I haven't gotten around to purchasing this until now. (Sorry for the crappy phone pictures, I get lazy sometimes, actually ALL THE TIME) 

There is 5 shades in the collection and I got the middle shade which is LIGHT/MEDIUM. I have a warm undertone so I thought I would be in MEDIUM but I am not which is fine because that one was too dark for me anyways. 

Side note: I am in the shade MEDIUM for the Maybelline BB cream so watch out. 

REVIEW: I ADORE this product. It's much better than all the other bb creams I've tried not including Korean ones which is the Maybelline one and the Garnier one. This beats them all HANDS DOWN! This leaves my face looking matte and has more coverage than all the other ones. This one is NOT runny and as liquid as the Maybelline one which once upon a time I used to love and enjoy before this BAD BOY came around. Now, I think that this is my favorite Western BB cream. I really like light coverage face makeup like BB creams and tinted moisturizers because they are lighter for my sensitive skin and don't feel heavy. 

BLAH BLAH BLAH, bottom line, this is a great product for people who are on the OILY side of the spectrum and want a good coverage BB cream! 

Swatch of it on my hand before blending. Notice it's not runny in consistency? LOVE THAT! 

All blended and matches me perfectly! :)

November 2012 IPSY/MYGLAM Bag (Canada)

These are my ipsy/myglam goodies from november
(sorry for the delay)

S.a.l.t.y Cosmetics shimmering pigment
It has a reflective purple tone to it which is really pretty on its own.

Meet Matt(e) - Matt Batali eye shadow 

This is a purple undertone completely matte eyeshadow that is form the Meet Matt(e) palette from theBalm. I think it's great for a contour colour or used as a settle eyeliner setter. 

Eclos Plant Stem Cells Cellular Activator Face Serum

Benefit's They're Real Mascara (Delux) 

Great mascara but this is not water resistant or waterproof so it will come off pretty easily even without any eye makeup remover 

Starlet Cosmetics Eyeliner in Back 

I personally don't use these pencil eyeliners anymore because I prefer to use gel eyeliner but it's nice to have around or thrown into a purse. This can be useful if you want and nice thick back to a smokey eye. 

Left: Matt Batali; Right: Starlet Eyeliner in Black 

Overall I enjoyed this months bag because it had a lot of the items from previous mygalm bags and new ones so it was nice to know that us Canadians were getting the same stuff.

This bag costs $9.95 and $4.95 for shipping because we live so far. 

Here's the webstie for more information! :) IPSY
