Review: Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato

Shu Uemura's tint in gelato is a lip makeup product that is launched as apart of the spring 2014 collection and was inspired by gelato. It comes in 12 shades and I have got the color PK03, which is a soft, powdery pink. Its a very gentle color to reflect spring and compliments my fair skintone. 

It comes in very typical Shu Uemura lip product packaging, metallic and simple. It has a angled applicator too to create the perfect lip shape. This product claims to be very long lasting as a tint. 

One thing I like about this product is that it can have both a matte and dewy finish. When initially applied, its full coverage with the shine of a gloss. However, with a bit of blending the product out, it turns matte and silky. Its a very unique product and this has made me immediately purchase after trying it! 

Pros:
-can be used matte or dewy
-not stick at all but very silky
-easy application
-long lasting

Cons:
so far none

Overall:
5/5

Review: Laneige Multi Cleanser

As the warmer season is comming up and skin starts to get oiler, I have been searching for a cleanser that deep cleanses and leaves the "squeaky clean" feeling. While stopping by the Laneige counter, I have discovered the Laneige Multi Cleanser. It claims to be a papain enzyme based cleanser which can remove makeup, sunscreen, exfoliate and cleanse all in one step. After reading its claims, I have decided to give it a try and see if it is really that convenient! 

The product comes out of a squeeze tube and I usually squeeze a coin sized amount out for use at night. It has a nice refreshing floral fragrance to it and it also foams up easily while massaging it on my face. It has a light and gentle exfoliating sensation, similar to that of a scrub. After rinsing with lukewarm water, my face did feel squeaky clean and the complexion seemed a lot brighter too! It has also done what it claimed and removed makeup. (I had first used a eye and lip makeup remover before using this, but it managed to get all my face makeup off. )

It comes out in a thick creamy texture which foams up. 

After using it for a week, I have noticed that my skin has been a lot better and brighter, with also less acne and smaller pores. I think it really does to deep clean and push out all the clogged gunk in skin with a mild exfoliation process. Personally, it has helped a lot with making my acne scars lighter too. 

Pros:
-deep cleans
-really removed impurities from skin
-makes skin brighter after use
-may help with acne control

Cons:
-maybe too drying for those with dry skin

Overall:
5/5!

Review: Guerlain Eyebrow Kit

Being a fan of Guerlain, I was overjoyed when I found out that they came out with an eyebrow kit. It is universal color, and comes with 3 shades and one brow hi-lighter. As with all Guerlain packaging, it gives a luxurious feel to the product and is also comes with a velvet case for you to store the kit in. 

The velvet case really does make the product seem extremly classy! 

The kit itself is housed in a rectangular case which flips open to reveal 4 powders and a mirror. It also comes with a dual end applicator, one side is a brow brush and the other is something similar to a mascara wand used to blend out the product/comb the eyebrows and make it more natural once you have applied it to your skin. 

I have been using this for a week now and I have to say I'm very impressed with quality and application. The powders are very pigmented and they could be blended together to create a shade that really matches you. (I usually blend the middle and lighter color for my brows. ) As it is a powder, it does seem to wear off quicker than a eyebrow pencil and I would say i get around 6 hours of wear with this product. However, I have tried using an eye primer on my brow area before applying this product and it did seem to last a bit longer. The brush that is included is also very high quality and makes applying this product and defining brow shape a breeze. 

Pros:

-great brush, easy to use and control

-universal color

-pigmented

-looks natural

Cons:

-may not be extremely long lasting and need touch ups

Overall:

4.5/5
