K-Palette 24H Real LAsting Eyebrow Liner

HELOOWS!

As you may (or may not know), recently, I went to Singapore for a holiday and got many goodies to try out! So the first goodie that have been using and testing is the K-Palette 24H Real LAsting Eyebrow Liner. It is an eyebrows liner. As mentioned in previous post (Haul & mini-review: Watsons in Singapore) 

    "people with fair skin, I would recommend 01 Natural Brown, but people with a little tanned skin          will need to buy the 02 Grayish brown color. The product claims to draw perfect natural brows            with the "dual" flat point tip. It is also shade, mark and tint-ing you eyebrow that will be smudge          proof and water-resistant. It is also build-able color to increase the intensity."

Thailand also sells this product. It would be around 590 baht. There are some small shops that import by themselves (they could be cheaper or more expensive so be careful people). The packaging is bulky but it sure does attract some attention (the norm of Japanese products). To be honest, although it is not environmentally friendly, but it is a good thing because for those of you high school-ers can buy this as a gift for their friends (in my opinion). 

Packaging 

After using it for a few times, I would have to say the formula (in my opinion) is similar to the "SUQQU eyebrow liner", except the colors are different (BUT MUCH MUCH MORE CHEAPER). Would I buy "SUQQU" one? Of course! I would want to try out if there is really a difference but based on my experience from swatching "SUQQU" from the store and using this product, I could say that at least the first impression is similar. But for the quantity of product and how long it could last, I would have to try and buy the "SUQQU" one first to confirm that. And, like I said, the color selections are different. "SUQQU" has on shade that is a darkish green with a tint of brown. I feel like that gives of a more natural feel. This is based on what I saw from my friend ( a Western girl with light brown hair though). As I said, since I do not have "SUQQU" I can not confirm it is a 'dupe' yet, but if you are used to using brown and like the color brown, then I would say you should give this a try. But, for people who just started filling their brows, I would say practice with the pencil and powder eyebrow liners first since they are easier to correct. Furthermore, since it is in ink link, it does not smudge as much as the pencil or powder eyebrow liners. It sure is like a tattoo!

Toodles!

SUMMER BB Cream

Hello my little beauty bugs! I have recently found a BB cream that gives a healthy look to your skin and will be suitable for this hot and humid weather. It is the Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion SPF 50+ PA +++, and it costs around 1,500 baht. In the box, you will get the product itself (with 15g.), a puff to apply and an extra refill, which I find it to be convenient because you would not have to go through the hassle of finding or buying a whole knew compact once you run out. Plus, it is a very environment friendly product since the only thing you are actually replacing is the blue part within the compact.

A picture of all the products you should be getting when you purchase. 

The color that I am using is No.13 True Beige. This shade will match people that have a shade NC 25 in MAC foundation. According to the sales in Emporium, this is the latest shade that is available in Thailand. There are around five to six shades displayed at the counter, but at Emporium, the sales said there was only a few shades left. BUT, before you run off going to the store, read this review in case there are any valuable information and please try the testers at the counters (that is what they are for). 

The color I am using at the moment.

This is a new concept of whitening the skin, providing sunscreen of SPF 50+ PA+++, having sweat-proof properties and soothing from Laneige where the BB cream is soaked into the sponge inside the compact. The BB cream has a brightening and clear whitening effect on the skin and with the SPF 50+ PA +++ the UV rays will be blocked which prevents the skin from direct damage from the sunlight. It is suitable for all skin types. The rubbery/elastic cushion will hold up the makeup barrier that could usually be easily break down by the sweat and sebum, thus giving a long-lasting makeup effect with just one layer of application.

APPLICATION:

Before 

After 

AFTER- After buffing and blending the BB cream onto my skin, I feel it did brighten my skin color a little bit and covers some of my redness around my cheek area, but since it is not a full coverage foundation, it does not cover up all my redness and the under eye dark circles. I would recommend to put concealers to those specific areas.Due to the lightness of the cream, it is wearable daily. Also, the sponge puff allows me to blend the cream easy. I could see why many of my Asian peers would rave about this because of the whitening and brightening effect it gives off on your face. Although there were some complaints from some of my peers who have oily skin, but since I have dry to combination skin, thus this BB creams does not make my face shinny, instead, it makes my face look dewy and glow-y. I could suggest those with oily skin to apply an oil free primer with a thin layer of the BB cream and set with a powder. I am definitely loving the BB cream!!!

This is available in most department stores in Thailand. I am not sure if they are available in every country, or if there is an online website that you could purchase world-wide. It is definitely cheaper to buy in Korea. If any of you know a website that you could purchase this world-wide, please leave a comment on this post for other readers.
