Love Clover Vanity Pact N 5191 and 5094

These pacts contain a pore closing powder. For moisturizing benefits it contains vitamin c,  chamomile, rosemary, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. It also has a soft sweet flower scent.

The one above is 5094 which is champagne silver. I really love this pact because it contains a lot of shimmer and it gives medium to light coverage. These pacts come with little jewels that you can glue on the outside for added glamour! These puffs are so velvety!
Shimmer on my hand above!
The picture above is the non-color 5091. It gives a good coverage if applied with a good amount. It says no color but it does give a light color. It does not just fade away like other non colors but it makes you look lighter and brighter. Also has the same smell and added extras.
Picture of the non-color on my hand is above. All of these items were purchased from http://ichibankao.com. 


Has anyone used this before? 

What are your thoughts?

Love Clover Marshmallow Fit N Powder

The powder does have a soft feel and gives a soft light coverage. The color looks dark but it is not. It also contains kiwi extract, rosemary extract, fragrance free and oil free. I was hoping it would have a cushion-y feel like the face shop cushion blushers but it did not. It does not really cover pores like it says but it does contain hyaluronic acid. It is a loose powder and the puff for it is very soft. It seems to be made out of a faux velvet.

The color shown is number 5193 Natural Ochre. This color is more suited for dry (as well as 5192) skin and it contains a reflect powder where as the champagne silver and non color colors contain silicone globular particles that help absorb oil. So these are more suited for oily skin. Overall the packaging is cute as always but the product itself it ok. I would not go run to the shelf for this one!

Etude House Face Designing Brightener

Wow! I cant begin to describe how much I love this item! First off the smell of it is just like the Peach collection! Also the packaging is a beautiful deep purple with purple glitter and it is a slim lined package!  Also the pattern on the powder is cute!

So this is a swatch of the powder on my hand. As you can tell it instantly brightens my hand! I followed the directions and basically put it around my eyes and jaw line to create an effect that my face would look structured and brightened at different angles. 

A great second purpose to this item it that is can be used as a top coat over the whole face to create a soft shimmer. The shimmer color is more of a white to beige color. Simply lovely!



NEW LUSH STUFF! Comforter and Sakura Soild Perfumes

Rich Berries and Cream is the scent for this lovely item! I have been waiting for them to make a perfume out of this!
After getting Rub Rub Rub and loving the smell of Sakura, I thought it was only obvious that I was going to get this item! 

I ordered both the solid perfumes and a new bath bomb called Silver cloud that tints your water blue and releases silver glitter! Sigh... how lovely. They need to make a bath bomb that reminds me of the summer.

Skin79 BB Creams- Hologram, Shiny Pearl Water Drop, VIP Gold, and Super+ BB

In this picture above, I have on the Pearl Water drop. It is a super sheer coverage. It does not offer much because I glow. In the picture below I have on the hologram. It offers a very pretty dewy appearance and offers a lot more coverage.

So I ordered a bunch of BB creams by Skin79. I bought them from the "Skin79" seller on Gmarket. The first one I have to show was a freebie. It has a key ring attached for BB on the go! I didn't think it was a great BB cream but it does contain Caviar, and Hyluronic acid. It gave a medium coverage with a good amount of moisture. I wouldn't go run to by it though. 

This BB cream, Hologram, was pretty good. Comparable to Missha Shiny but with a lot less shimmer. It has small micro fine glitter with a medium coverage. I like that its oil free and it was very moisturizing. I was hoping it would have been more interesting because of the name.
The Super + BB cream I love! It is loaded with so many fruits, flowers and other lovely extracts. It was very moisturizing and I love the packaging! It is very nifty! It has arbutrin for whitening and UV protection. 

My favorite though it the Shiny water pearl drop! I am a sucker for glitter! But this glitter was thicker and chunkier than the normal micro fine glitter. It also was not heavy. It was a great buy! I bet it will be great on those summer days! It also is oil free!

Etude House Aqua Sherbet Gel Cream + Kose Lotion Mask

I really like the Etude House aqua sherbet gel cream. It does not offer super moisturization. But I really like it because it gives a super cooling feeling and it is a light weight moisturizer. It has little white specs in it. I am not sure what they do. It does have a lovely scent as well. This also is great if you are really hot or to use on a hot summer day.

The Kose Lotion Masks are a neat thing! I know awake use to sell them. They remind me of those rags when I was younger that came in ball and when you added fluid they turned into a rag! Well these are the same. You simply add a lotion or toner and it absorbs the fluid and it opens up to a facial sheet mask. I know you can buy blank face sheets but these are easier to work with and are fun to watch them grow! 

Etude House Magic Enzyme Pack Peeling + Magic Crystal Peeling Pack

The magic crystal pack peeling wasn't so magical. It is made out of kanolin clay so it hardens like a normal mask. The smell was nice. It reminds me of baby powder. It is formulated with micro crystals. It had a little tingling sensation but it did not do much for peeling. A little goes a long way. 

The magic enzyme pack peeling I REALLY liked! It is a heavy glass bottle. It is a yogurt gommage peel. After about 5 minutes it dried completely and it rubbed off nicely. It also left a nice soft feeling on my skin! The bottle spout is not great and you have to shake it several times to get enough out of the bottle for one use. This gets my approval!
