[REVIEW] A'pieu Pure Tint #Strawberry

Hello guys,
I think I'm in the mood in blogging this week so I probably will posted a review a day :D

So in my latest haul, I bought this tint from A'pieu which is selling pretty cheap in testerkorea. I've seen other tint product under A'pieu but since I'm not sure how it works on me so I only bought one to test it out.

Product Information ;

Name : A'pieu Pure Tint
Production : Made in Korea
Related Brand : Missha
Colors Available : Grapefruit (Orange) , Cherry (Red) and Strawberry (Light Pink)
Weight : 8g


I think the name is pretty simple.



Though it was on sale, it is a new production.



Came in a doe foot applicator attached with the cap.


On the bottle, the color look very intense but since it is a water type tint,
 it dissolves into the skin making it lighter in color.


 Left photo is one swipe and the right one is two swipes.


There are three color shades in this collection. I personally choose the Strawberry color 
because it looks natural on lips because the color supposed to be light pink.

Then, I actually forgot that it is a water type tint so I'm not pretty sure if it would give nice moisturising lips as Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint because of the texture that sips into the skin in seconds.

To my surprised, it does! Well, it's not much of moisturising but at least it wasn't drying 
like a lot of water tint type that I've tried.

The downside is just like other water type tint, this doesn't last long after a drink or so although the color is very pigmented after two swipes and it taste bitter too...urrghh ;(  But after it dries, it tastes sweet?lol

Other than that, it sips to my lip fine lines making it uneven in color.
It would rather suit people who had plumper lips more.

Overall, it's okay in color but the taste should be improve.

I rate this;


Thank you for reading and Happy New Year!!

[REVIEW] Skinfood Viva Waterproof Brush Pen Eyeliner #Black


Hey guys!
Today I'll be reviewing this eyeliner I just got from Skinfood. I'm actually drawn to brown eyeliner more but I'm not sure why every time I bought a new eyeliner, it is always black.

Anyway, let's get to the review
Product Information

Name : Skinfood Viva-Waterproof Brush Pen Eyeliner
Production : Made in Korea
Shades : Available in black and brown



I really love this type of eyeliner 


The color is really intense black.


The left picture is after I put my hand under the running water and 
the right one is after I rub off the middle line.

This is how it looks like on my eyes.


I really don't read reviews before I bought this so I just pray that it would works great and thank god it did!The color is very intense and I don't need to layer it much to obtain the dark black color.

The eyeliner claim itself to be waterproof and yes, it is waterproof but it is not rub proof. It is easily rub off when it is still wet but not when the liquid is dry.

For the brush tip, it is really soft and thin which it is can be use to draw a very thin line. 

The eyeliner can last on my oily eyelid for more than 6 hours although it might be 
a bit slightly rubbed if I put on a thick eyeliner. 

No strange smell from the eyeliner not even a slight.

No sparkles/glitters and it dries really fast after an application.

Overall, I really like this eyeliner. It is easy to use, travel wise and stays long on my eyes.

I rate this ;
*would be perfect if it isn't rub-proof..hehe*

Thank you for reading

Winter Haul


It finally arrives today!Yeay~~
I bought this when testerkorea had 30% sales on their website and the price is really cheap *omg*
Since I actually have shopped few times before this haul, I thought I'm totally broke but I'm thankful to my little business made profit in a short time so I managed to buy these few items. I really need most of these products so it's okay though..haha

The products are ;

Skinfood Black Sugar Perfect First Serum (free Cotton Pad!) - 7,350 won
Skinfood Viva Waterproof Brush Pen Eyeliner #Black - 6,300 won
Skinfood Everyday Masks (Tomato & Green Tea) - 700 won each
Etude House Lash Perm All Shockara - 7,700 won
Innisfree Eye Primer - 4,200 won
A'pieu Pure Tint #Strawberry - 3,150 won
A'pieu Magic Pore Cover Balm - 6,160 won
A'pieu Snail 3D Sheet Mask - 700 won



I said that this mascara doesn't perform well on me but recently, I think it has changed? My lashes looks longer and it doesn't clump too :D

I coincidentally found this eyeliner when I browse for eyeliners in testerkorea. I love this brush pen type more and Skinfood newest product offered the criteria I want( I should get a brown one too!). I just saw the word waterproof and right away adding this to my cart. I also planned to buy another gel type eyeliner soon because I think it would suit a lot of events :D


I wanted this serum by Skinfood for so long and when I saw this is on sale, I grab it right away. This is so popular omg..and I easily fell into the nice-review-by-bloggers-trap so I don't took a sec to add this into my order.Plus, it's time to change another skincare routine. I probably will try this next month!

I was surprised to see the big box and found out that it was the cotton pad for the serum!lol
It was way bigger than the serum itself..haha


I ran out my eye primer (e.l.f cosmetics) and since I'm hauling, I grab this one from Innisfree. I dislike the Etude House eye primer because it doesn't work well with me so I choose this instead.
Hopefully sometimes in the future, if I had no choice, I would re-try the Etude House eye primer again. Who knows it might works?


A'pieu! omg..I really wanted to laid my hands on this brand after saw many good reviews about it. Basically it is another brand under the same company as Missha but based on the design, I think they targeted this brand for youngsters which is different than Missha.

I choose the balm(I wanted to buy two at first but since I don't know how it performs on me so I took one to try) Will buy more if it works great!

I'm a huge fan of lip tint because it lasts longer and very light on lips. Since I'm the type who lick my lips for the whole time, I need something that can't easily disappear so I bought this cheap selling tint to try :D


3 types of masks! Personally I love buying masks but when they happen to arrive to me, I suddenly got no urge to use it..(like most of the time) but I will make sure that I won't waste this..lol

I actually purchased a few products before this and there are still some products that is not arrived yet. Probably I post them later..haha

Thanks for dropping by!

[REVIEW] Etude House Princess Etoinette Winter Eau de Toilette

*pictures heavy post*

It's winter in most 4 seasons country isn't it? Too bad my country is hot all year along so I don't know what winter means that much. Not forget, Merry Advance Christmas to all my readers whom celebrate Christmas.
Though myself did not celebrate this but I love looking at those bright looking Christmas trees especially in shopping mall..

Anyway, I got my Etude House Etoinette perfume last week and I already tried this a few times.
It supposed to came with a compact mirror(for launching gift) but beautynetkorea.com didn't sell this with the compact mirror so I got a bit of cheaper price.

Product Information
Name : Etude House Princess Etoinette Eau de Toilette
Production : Made in Korea
Volume : 30ml
Price : 21.76USD (approx.RM72)

Totally approves for the super kawaii box! It looks super dreamy 



I guess the peony smell is the main of the main ingredients.


The only picture that have my watermark on it because the text doesn't fit it..lol 


Have you ever watched "Teen Top - Don't Spray the Perfume MV" ?
It reminds me so much of that..


The bottle originally came like this without the pump attached. It looks like a toy somehow..


Etude House wrote the manufacturing date instead of expiring date.

Top Notes : Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Pear, Raspberry
Middle : Peony, Rose, Jasmine, Muguet
Bottom : Cedar Wood, Sandal Wood, Musk
I'm so excited when this perfume arrives and I immediately sniff the smell from the bottle. At first, I thought the smell was too strong and I dislike it so much. I thought it such a pity that the smell wasn't appealing to me and it was really expensive too! 

Since I already bought it and I don't want to give it away either so I tried it a few times. Surprisingly, after spraying and I wait for a little while(until the liquid evaporated) , it did give a nice scent! The scent isn't so bad as I thought and it lingers longer too! 

I'm not much an expert to describe the smell but I think I've smell something same from The Body Shop. Not sure what name it is but I guess it's a spray type form too (not the oil type). The first scent that I noticed was the hint of Rose smell. It wasn't that strong but since every Etude House products smells like Rose so I noticed it a bit. From the description, they said that it was taken from Peony so I guess that was what Peony smell like. 

The bottle is a glass jar so it gives a bit of expensive look which I like the most about it..haha

Overall, it was a nice scent to try and of course sniffing from the bottle is not a good choice. 

Thank you for reading.

[REVIEW] The Face Shop Face It Velvet Skin Primer

Hi ,
So I decided to review this primer which I have for quite a while. I saw this was crowned No.1 in "Get It Beauty" blind test so I decided to try it out.

I still love my Banila co primer but sometimes a change of pace is not wrong right? After all I'm a beauty junkie so I can't be satisfied by just trying a product for a long time.

By the way, I got this with a box but not sure where did I put it or it was mistakenly trashed so no boxy-piccies. (For ingredients, you may look up to other blogger reviews, they did put the ingredients picture from the box)


Product information
Name : The Face Shop Face It Velvet Skin Primer
Production : Made in Korea
Volume : 30g / 1.05 oz.


It came with a pump.




Instead of writing the manufacturing date, they did otherwise. In fact, I like this better.


Can be used 12 months after opening. Someone tell me what PET means?


The product is a transparent gel type. 


Partial blending. Because it is transparent so it's hard to notice.


This primer will create a soft smooth skin after applied and I use it to cover my pores especially on cheekbone, nose, forehead and chin. That way, my foundation will glides easily without looking bumpy.

Although the primer claimed that it is best for oily skin, it does because the finish is soft matte but in terms of oil control, I guess it doesn't do much. I did blot frequently to get rid of the oil from my skin.

The texture is transparent gel type and it is very light on skin. I have no experience in breaking out while using this.

There is a faint flowery powder smell to it which smells really pleasant. It wasn't over the top for me because I always love something that smells good.

Price is reasonable. I got this for about RM30-RM40 somewhere is between. As I remembered, it is cheaper than Banila co primer.

One 30g tube last me for so long. I think it has been about 4-5 months now and I still have a very little product left.


It is a worth try if you're looking for something that could cover up pores without breaking out your skin but if you're looking for oil control primer, I guess this is not for you. I already bought a new primer from another brand so I'll be trying that after I finished this up.

Thank you for reading :)
