Hand and Homemade Broaches + News on My Giveaway!

Armed with a glue gun, tulle, paper flowers, pearls, designer buttons, and left over fabric, these beauties were made into broaches. I do not know about you but broaches are hard to find in the US and often they are big fake plastic flowers or those horrible huge fake stones.

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Pact and Brightener

The Etude House Precious Mineral BB Pact comes in three colors. I bought the lightest one which may have been to light. It does not offer much coverage.  I personally love this smell. It smells like flowers, vanilla, and white lilies.  It has an SPF of 25 PA++. It kept my face dry all day!!

The print is very topical. 
The precious mineral Brightener has three colors in the palette. It has a very interesting texture. It has three colors, pink, white and aqua. It also has a pearl design in it. I like to use each color on different parts of my face to make my face look different and different angles.

On the top is the three colors of the highlighter and on the bottom is the mineral powder.

These are both very reasonably priced ($10-$15). They are very fun pretty and smell great! I highly suggest trying them out if you can afford them.

BanilaCo Dear Flower Eyeshadow and Sonia Rykiel Trio Eyeshadow

This Dear Flower eyeshadow by BanilaCo is very nice! I love that they are kinda baked. They are soft and very shimmery. Sometimes you can have a good amount of shimmer under your eyes at the end of the day despite using a primer. 

Up close with flash. So pretty!
When swatched the colors are very light but they remind of a super cool icy look. Like the Majolica Majorca Collection.
This is a new brand to me. This item was given to me buy Lotus Palace.

The textures remind me of BanilaCo eyeshadows. That is why I grouped these together.  They all have a silver undertone and can leave shimmer under your eyes at the end of the day. I love this trio because its very bright.

Arezia Palette from Sasa.com

My BF got me this palette from Sasa.com It is very affordable and offers so many color choices! The shadows are decently pigmented and sparkles all through out.

Its comes with several trio shadows, 4 blushes, a highlighter and a face powder.

The shadows are more talc based and are not satin.

I am loving the orange, yellow and pink trio. Each trio really is very nice.
A love the doll pink blush on the left. The highlighter is my favorite! Its good to even out skin tone and give you highlights!

The face powder is on the lighter side which works great for me.
There were so many colors to swatch. So I just randomly swatched a bunch of colors for your viewing pleasure.

If you are looking for something cheap, chic, and cute, this palette is for you!

Jadilla J Multi Face Cover

 I got this lovely item from Kathi from Lotus Palace. She has such great taste with asian brands!

So this multi face cover is a really nice product. I actually like it so much that I replaced it with my skinfood banana concealer.

So the pot contains three different covers.

The top color on my wrist is the highlighter which is on the bottom left of the pot. It has gold shimmer in it. I put it on my upper cheek bones.

Middle color on my wrist is a very thick heavy concealer which I use under my eyes for heavy coverage. It is  pale beige color. Its the top color in the pot.

Bottom color on my hand is a very thin light concealer. Its great for all areas on my face and its very light weight. The color is a very pale ivory and it blends like a dream and offers light coverage.

I highly suggest buying this product! It can purchased from Gmarket
