W2Beauty Haul - A personal online Kbeauty with super positive reviews!


Hi guys! Today I'll be sharing with you the haul that I made with Alive from W2Beauty. Some of you might have known W2Beauty, an online Korean beauty shop owned by Alice. Alice herself manage the shop and she is the one that done all the buying in case there is order request came in. You can find a lot of Korean beauty products that is hard to get on the other shops especially if it was only sold by limited edition. Go check out w2beauty.com or @alicew2beauty on Instagram and W2beauty on facebook. By the way, I intended to review all these items individually later in different posts.

These are basically the products that I chose and the rest of them are samples :)

First item : Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Essence Rich (Price: 20.48 GBP)

I read the interview with Alice and she said "sparkling" products were quite popular this year so I saw this essence by Innisfree and think that I wanted to try this. It surprises me since this is a mousse-like essence and it's very moisturising!

Second item: HERA Age Reverse Cushion SPF 38/PA++ (Price: 45.62 GBP)

This cushion is like the most expensive item in this haul and it is priced at US71.80. I like the 'high-end' feels it gives and the packaging itself is very sleek. I actually have been eyeing this since I watched urbanwit's video and she says that this is a very good cushion in terms of coverage since most cushion doesn't provide much cover. However, because of some reason, I'm unable to use this and I'm planning to sell it T_T If anyone interested in buying this, please let me know. The condition is 100% good and I haven't open it yet. Do mail me at marvelikalife@gmail.com ;)


I think this is one of the newest released from Missha. I saw the advertisement poster where it was applied as the eyeliner and smudged to get the smoky brown look and I thought it was very pretty. The thing that surprised me is that I didn't notice that it came with a smudge brush at the other end which is quite cool to me.

Fourth item: Tony Moly Liptone Get It Tint in 01 Pink Ming (Price : 7.13 GBP)

The name itself  is quite funny since "Get It Beauty" programs is like popular all over, a lot of of company is trying to use the "get it" name, lol. Anyway, I've watched a review of this tint on youtube, a Thai review if I'm not mistaken and she swatches all the colors of this tint. One thing that I remembered she said that this tint is a combination of Peripera Ink Tint + Aritaum Color Lasting Tint which made me put this on the cart right away. However,  a disappointment when I tried it myself that this is doesn't even close to Peripera's Ink Tint at all T_T. Did I got tricked? haha...

Fifth item: Clio Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow #01 (Price: 16.02 GBP)

This tattoo brow is quite popular here nowadays and everyone seems to be promoting it as a good item and I actually didn't want to try it because of the tattoo thing. I preferred the color to be washed away after all but after a while, maybe I should give this a shot to see if I like it. The package came to me with the two small size of Clio Lipnicure Glass. Tried the brow tattoo the other day but was not so sure if I wear it wrong or else since it doesn't leave any color behind when I washed my face (???)

These are all the samples that Alice sent me! Actually there is an A'pieu Marker Tint as well which I forgot to include in this picture as the samples she sent me. I never ever received this much samples with the other shops that I usually bought with. She is soooo generous, omg! <3

Anyway, that's all with my short haul + review. Make sure to check out w2beauty website, w2beauty facebook and @alicew2beauty on instagram for offers, events and more!

[REVIEW] Bourjois Nude Sensation Blur Effect Foundation & Push Up Volume Glamour Mascara


Hey guys!
Well, it's been sometime isn't it? Anyway, I'll be reviewing this two Bourjois products that have been sent to me by Muffin.my. Go check them out as I'm one of the contributor there :)

This is my first time trying Bourjois products that I've heard a lot about them, both postitive and negative, so what say me?





The first item is this Nude Sensation Blue Effect Foundation. My first impression, oh, this is so cute and the colour might suit me well. The colour did and it blends into my skin really well and the texture is really smooth. However, what bothers me is that the foundation blends so well that it did nothing? I know the "blur" word is not like it will do a total coverage however this is almost function like nothing like to cover even a tiny bit. A bit disappointed at that since I'm not sure what's the function of this foundation, lol

The foundation itself is close to oily and it would suit dry skin than my oily skin because my face would totally looks like I dip my face into the oil (okay, exaggerating, however it's close to that). There is a little bit of fragrance as well but it was not too overpowering.

I did try not to blend it so much and it somehow work a little in "blurring" (refer at the bottom for full face picture)





The second item is this Push Up Volume Glamour Mascara. They had another one that is for length too. I choose the volume one since I like my lashes to look more bushy(is this the right word tho?XD)

My first impression is that this mascara gonna do great and it did! I was surprised on how big the wand is because I don't think it will reach all the way to my near-end eyes. It might a bit hard to reach but it wasn't that bad, just need patience. 

The mascara itself doesn't cause any clumps no matter how much I coat my lashes! How amazing is that? I thought it will but it is not. Since the mascara would not clump, it takes me a little more time to make my lashes looks bushy. As I said, it needs patience for the my desired looking lashes.

The mascara claims that it is waterproof and yes it is because the liquid dries into a rubber-like thing so it resist water. However it is really easy to remove.

The mascara feels very light on my lashes however it weigh down my curls. My eyelashes is naturally straight and I usually curls them before applying mascara but using this mascara weigh them down and it turns straight again.

Luckily I didn't have any breakout at this day so my pimples didn't show much however you can spot redness on top of my eyebrow.  This picture is taken like 20 minutes after I finished doing my makeup and look how oily it is...haha. By the way, I'm wearing both of the product mention in this picture.

Overall, the mascara is my favourite but not so much for the foundation. Anyone tries the foundation and what say you?

Thank you for reading :)

[REVIEW] Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist


Hey guys! I felt so guilty for not blogging for so long! I haven't made any new post on September too. I apologize that I'm too busy especially this semester where all those big assignments that I have which lessen my time to blog. Anyway, since I'm on holiday now and classes doesn't hindrance the time I needed so it's fine to blog.

I made a small haul like a month ago which I bought three items including this mist. There's a big coupon event on Qoo10 at that time which I got RM30 off for this haul and an extra sale from the seller, which is SweetboxSG. It was the beginning of summer there in Korea so they're having the summer sales for this mist. I don't remember what's the price I got for this since they've changed the price on the website but maybe around RM30+ something?

I've been obsessed with green tea products after the serum that I tried and I've been wanting to get a mist for so long that I bought this. There is a smaller version of this mist, about 50ml and this is the bigger size 150ml. Do check this out on SweetboxSG on Qoo10 if you want to get this mist.




Trying to do the spray thing but it's so windy outside that I had to retake and waste my mist..haha


I always wanted a spray type skincare to be my toner or to prep my skin because it is easier that way. Since there aren't many toners that come out in a spray type so I just have to look for mist instead to be my toner. I know some maybe says that it wouldn't enough or it's not good but it's just my preference. I don't like overly-moisturized toner just to prep my skin because it will be a mess later with sebum problem since my skin is oily after all.

I find that this mist is good enough for my skin since it was light, gives a little cooling on the skin and it lightly moisturize my face. I felt that is enough for starter before I put on the moisturizer later. I find it is also controls my sebum excretion later on the day because my skin is not usually as oily as it would be. As you can see from the picture above, the nozzle sprays a really fine mist out. I almost feel nothing when spraying because it is a really fine mist.

It doesn't leave the skin sticky nor tight feeling and it does have a little fragrance in it which I find not too overpowering for me and it smells nice. I don't have any break out while using this and will definitely repurchase if I got the chance again.

Overall, it's a very nice fine mist and suit every skin types. It might sting a little if it does goes into the eyes but just avoid that part. I'm clumsy so that's why it goes into my eyes every time, lol

Thank you for reading :)

[REVIEW] Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum


Hi guys! Remember the haul that I did with Althea? This green tea seed serum is one of my purchase with them because I've been wanting this for so long but always distracted by something else..XD

I knew Innisfree released the limited version of this (bigger size) but it was sold out on testerkorea and I'm not sure if it will be available. If it does, I'm definitely going to buy the bigger version next!





I love how round and cute the bottle is :)

It suppose to be a very light green in color but it doesn't show up on my yellow skin. 

This bottle is the 60ml in volume and personally I think it was too little for me!haha
Because once I love everything about a product, I became a bit greedy in applying. The amount that I put on was a little bit over the top but that's how I like it.

I would say that this serum smells heavenly. It wasn't too much like too fragrance-y but it was quite refreshing.The liquid is not really watery in my opinion, a bit jelly like but not too much. I could say about 1 jelly : 9 water.

The serum is not sticky and it absorbed pretty fast once applied and it leave the skin moisturize and soft. Usually I would apply this serum after I wash my face or after I wear a long day makeup because I tend to broke out quite easy. 

I know that I will broke out if my face feels itchy even after double-cleansing and I would apply a generous amount of this serum on the spot and it totally saves me because I haven't seen any acne or pimples popping up on the next day :)

I don't have much to say about this but if you have any questions, do let me know.
Overall, it's a great serum that you should have in your skincare stash :D
