Review of L'oreal Collective Haul : Eyeshadow Quad, Lipstick, Lipgloss & Liquid Eyeliner


Hi bubblies!
How's your day so far?
Hope it's all good ya! :D



SO, continuing my previous post about the "L'oreal SALE ALERT" earlier, these are some of the thing that I manage to picked up.

I only got 2 new things and the rest are what I've got at a normal price! 
SAD isn't it? huhu.. I could've save so much money then! arghh.. *lol.



********************************************************************
♥ First Impression from Newest Haul ♥
********************************************************************
 These are the items that I picked up at 60% off on SALE :
L'oreal Open Eyes Pro Eyeshadow Quad in Purple Silver 
IDR. 71600 rupiahs ( around $ 7.16 US Dollars )
L'oreal Color Riche Nutri Shine Lipstick in CP420 Shiny Coral
 IDR. 55600 rupiahs ( around $ 5.56 US Dollars )



L'oreal Open Eyes Pro Eyeshadow Quad in Purple Silver


Straight to the Swatches!
. no primer . no base . under sun lighting ( day light ) . 

. no primer . no base . under indoor artificial lighting . 
Finishes ( left to right ) : 
*satin
*shimmer with silver speck
*shimmer with silver speck
*multiple chrome color >> ♥ it!

As probably you could tell, the colors represent a clubbing theme. Above the black base it could be so much more vibrant and dramatic looking! The color that caught my eyes especially the highlight part. It's like a frosty silver color that reflect different colors of light! It's so pretty. Gosh! >,<"

For the pigmentation itself is what I called decent. Not so vibrant ( gotta keep building it up ) but it's true from what you see in the pan. The satin finish color is the weakest pigmentation from all. To achieve above picture I need to sweep it more than 2 or 3 times. And all the glitters or silver speck colors tend to make a fall out.

The texture of this quad is not buttery, rather chalky I must say :(



L'oreal Color Riche Nutri Shine Lipstick in CP420 Shiny Coral


Unto the Swatches!
. no primer . no base . under direct indoor artificial lighting . 
From the name, it already says it all. 
The pigmentation is sheer but buildable color. I would compare the texture like Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter. In fact, I choose this over Revlon a little more :P
For the staying power on my lips, it does tend to fade and need to reapply through out the hour. Hence, i always eat and drink! >,<'' But I don't mind because it's a moisturizing formula ( and quite sheer ), sometimes I slap this baby on my lips like it was a tinted lipbalm.

********************************************************************
♥ Review from My Old Stash ♥
********************************************************************
 Actually, I'd bring this stuff up again because I ( also ) never done a review about them. You can find these at the SALE ALERT that got 60% off on SALE! 
Ahh.. as sad as I was right now because I purchased these a while back at a normal price, I'll make a review if you curious in purchasing these :)
 

L'oreal Glam Shine 6hr Glossy Shine Lipgloss in Infinite Pink
IDR. 119000 rupiahs ( around $ 11.90 US Dollars )
L'oreal Superliner Felt Tip Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Noir / Black
 IDR. 149000 rupiahs ( around $ 14.90 US Dollars )


 L'oreal Glam Shine 6hr Glossy Shine Lipgloss in Infinite Pink


 This lipgloss I bought a while back because it compliment enough my Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Creamsicle. Or I can put this on top of any lip color that I got because the color is neutral enough. It has a really cute applicator like so :



 It also has a vanilla scents. I'm not a vanilla fragrance lover, so it's a downfall to me.
But, I can bare it because I like the consistency ( more on the sticky side though ) and make the lip color last aaaaall day! Oops. 6 hour, I guess :P ( yess that's true what they say! )


Swatches!
. no primer . no base . under direct indoor artificial lighting .
The color more like a "cream" to me, more than a pink. It has a silver speck color.

. no primer . no base . under indoor artificial lighting . 




L'oreal Superliner Felt Tip Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Noir / Black

What caught my eyes first when purchasing this a while back is it's in a form of felt tip liner. Perfect for beginner like me. It has a glossy finish.


Swatches!
. half wet . under direct indoor artificial lighting .

. when it's dry . under direct indoor artificial lighting .

It also easily clean, you can peel this off from your skin when it's dry. Well, actually I rub them! :P It can't be smudge when it's dry, but it will be gone for sure.

Staying power >> It does fade on my lids throughout the day :(

BUT. I'm pretty impress with this now. I had this for more than a half year and it still function well. I don't think it's gonna dry either in near time. It's the type of pen, that you need to shake to dispense the liquid. Maybe because of that smart packaging, it could last a looong good time! Good job, l'oreal.

So here you go, my reviews from 4 items that has been on SALE ALERT!
If I should suggest one thing, I'll pick the lipstick!
because it's so good and the color is pretty as well :)
So, if you consider in purchasing, let me know what you pick!
Good day all!
Smile :)


NOTE: all of the product were purchased by my own money and reviewed by honest thought. It's just my way to give you an opinion in buying product that you considered to purchase. Be a smart buyer! Hope you like my reviews.

Little Review + Swatches : Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick


Hi lippies lover!
How's your day?
Hope it's full of colors!! \(♥o♥)/ yey! :D




This post is dedicated to swatches and little review for :
Maybelline Color Sensational 
Moisture Extreme Lip Color 



 I have 4 colors that I collected through this series. 
Actually 5, but I gave one to my mom :)
But yeah, I believe this is one of the cheapest lipstick that Maybelline carried >> roughly IDR. 35000 rupiahs ( around $ 3.50 US Dollars ) and these were all the first ever daring lipstick colors that I bought! Because I realized, experimenting with lip color could really make a BIG difference to the whole face! :D 

Hmm yes, I purchase these quite a long time ago..
But still, I decided to make this post because Maybelline still carried these lippies and if you interested in buying, for some close up color options for these particular colors that I got :)



 The colors are :

 . CP02 Coral Pearl . F41 Plum Perfect . BP03 Nude Pearl . RC51 Summer Sunset .



Swatches :
. under direct indoor artificial lighting . with & without flash .




. under indoor artificial lighting . without flash .

  • RC51 Summer Sunset 
  • F41 Plum Perfect 
  • CP02 Coral Pearl
  • BP03 Nude Pearl  



********************************************************************
♥ Little Review ♥
********************************************************************



I bet you already familiar or even have other colors from this series. So, here goes my 2 cents of thoughts as summarize from other bunch reviews out there *.^ :
Overall, these were all of a bargain price of lippies with very good pigmentation.
I would compare the pigmentation to NYX round lipsticks, but this is more of a waxy feeling texture ( while NYX is buttery ). Good thing, these were all not melt easily like NYX does.
Perfect for someone who is still experimenting with lip colors.
Can be reach easily at Maybelline counter or drugstore beauty items nearby, here in Indonesia.
Goes on smoothly and nicely on the lips.
Not too moisturizing, and not too drying either. Hence, lipbalm underneath help a lot. 
Has a sleek packaging and looking expensive than the actual price. 
Has a decent staying power and fade gracefully if you eating and drinking.

So here you go, I hope this post helpful for you out there!

Good day all!

Some Etude House's Products That I Regret to Purchase :(


Hi bubblies!
How's everyone doing?
I hope everything's good ya! :)


From the title maybe already says it all.
Yup! these are some misses that I found through this famous Korean cosmetic brand.

believe me, I'm sad by myself :(


Don't get me wrong, Etude House is one of my favorite brand overall because they have lots of cuteness going on and I still find their makeup or skincare products works well on me. But somehow, couple of these things just didn't work on me or I think not as hype as what's been raved about >> my personal opinion, of course :)


So, let's see what I've got! :D



***


1. Etude House Styling Eye Liner AD in 02 



I believe they have 01 for black and 02 for white.


Okey. Maybe I can start from what I like first and ended up purchasing this. The color is so very nice to put in inner corner, highlighting brow bone, or in lower waterline to brighten up eyes and make it more doll look. I must admit that. It's a pearly or satiny white color and quite buttery, blendable, and pigmented as well.



my camera can't capture it well, but it come out as satin finish with silver undertone color.

And it's in a twist up pen, which I believe quite practical for traveling or even to use daily.


But, the thing that turn me off is : how fragile this thing is :(
From the packaging into the product itself. I keep breaking the product when I'm applying it to my eyes, even if I did it carefully. With not so many product you get, I'll finish this in a matter of days :(

that's only how much you get. approximately 3cm :(

Not forget to mention, the packaging felt so cheapy, lightweight plastic and not sturdy enough. I BROKE it :)  >>how the hell am I smiling..

Well, I guess this is just a waste of my money. I don't recommend them.


2. Etude House Code B Strong Eyes Cream Liner in #1 Strong Black



This is actually my mom's purchases from the counter because the lady in the counter put it on her. Oh well, mom.. -_-" Actually it's so very nice and black enough to make your eyes stand out.

But, the thing that turn me off is : how fast this thing dries! :( not on your lid, but on the jarl! grrrr..

From the first week my mom uses this ( and because she isn't quite good with gel liner herself ), she ended up just neglect it afterwards on the dresser for another couple of weeks. When I saw it, I kinda wanted to try it and so glad that my mom let me keeping it.. BUT... -_____-" yeah, it already like a stone.

I try to survive it with one of the method i learnt on Youtube >> MICROWAVE! 
Because as what I've heard, if we add something to dissolve it, the consistency wouldn't be the same anymore. But I must say, it's a total FAIL! -________-"


even the jar is cracked on ( only ) 30seconds in the microwave :(
when it cooled down, the consistency even more miserable. like a burnt charcoal :/



Also..


 see that thing? it's supposed to be the free-mini-travel brush cap, but the cap and the brush were loosely enough so I lost the brush now -_-" not the best packaging. ever. -____-"



Well, I guess this is just a waste of my ( mom's :P ) money. I don't recommend them.


3. Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher in 01





To be honest, I bought this when I have no such experience with blush color that suit me the best. I thought I was pretty fair enough and that's why I always choose the lightest color every time I bought makeup -_-" Oh well..

The concept is super cute, the packaging is super adorable, even the product itself is easy to work with. had a lovely scents as well ^.^

But, the thing that turn me off is : how pale the color is! It's not flattering color on me. at all. I'm already looking dead if I don't add happy color on my face, and I never intend to be the cast of Twilight either.. so.. yeah. -_-"

Even I don't see it would look good on a darker skin tone color. So, who's gonna wear it? >> well, who knows? I'm not an expert nor experience enough to say this. So, leave my word to myself, okey? :P if it happen to flattering on someone else, it would be sooo good :)




***
 
So here you go, my not so happily mood when talking about regret -_-"
But need to remind, every person is different.
Finding what suit you the best is through trial and error journey.
It wouldn't ( supposed ) to be a regret if you learn something from the mistake :)
Let me know what you think!
Good day all!
Smile :)
