Etude House: Nymph Aura Volumer #03 Review

Hi sweety bunny! Hope everything is going well~

Today I'm going to review one of my favorite highlighter which is the popular Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer. I got the shade in #03 Transparent.



This is apparently a big hit in Korea since its first debut until now~ x)
They released the #01 Pure and #02 Brilliant only at first and came out with the #03 Transparent afterwards.

I was honestly a bit skeptical at first to try out this because from my experience I do not feel that Etude House produce the best make up products. But I do not regret trying this out after all.

The texture of this product is kind of thick and you really only need less than a pea size to highlight the areas that needs to be highlighted such as brow bone, cheek bone, nose bridge, etc. Some people mix this with their bb cream/foundation and apply it all over the face to give a healthy glow to their face but I kind of do not like that, instead I only highlighted my face. 

For this product I think that you are supposed to whether mix it with a base product or apply this then the base product afterwards. And this volumer was actually intended for bb creams. I find  the glow to be very gorgeous under my bb cream. It really gives me a beautiful and healthy glow. But honestly I find it to be a bit tricky if I want to apply this along with my foundation.

When I'm applying my foundation, I would use primer, foundation, then loose powder. As you guys all know that loose powder is meant to mattifying your face. So If I apply this volumer before or after my foundation and after that I apply my loose powder then my whole face would become matte and not glowy anymore. Otherwise If I do not apply my loose powder my foundation would slide all over my face and it won't last long. So what I do is I apply all my base make up and I put the volumer on top of everything.

Even so I feel that the volumer is kind of sticky on top of everything and I believe it doesn't last very long. But it still gives a beautiful glow though.



Can you see the beautiful glow on the right side of the back of my hand? :)

My conclusion is that I think that this volumer works best with bb creams where you do not need to set it with any powder. And I absolutely love the beautiful glow~ x)

Dolly Wink - Eyelash Fix Review

Hi hi~
Today I'm gonna review my all time favorite eyelash glue from Dolly Wink~


The packaging as usual for Dolly wink products is very very cute~! xD

Anyway I've been using this eyelash glue for quite some time. The first time I tried the eyelash glue is when I bought their lashes. The glue came in a very small tube together with the lashes. After I tried it, I immediately fall in love with it. I think that this is the best eyelash glue I've ever used. :)

The best feature of this glue is that it dries very fast and when it dries it completely sticks to my eyelid. I've never experienced my eyelash is sticking out after few hours of applying this glue. So thumbs up for the staying power.

Another thing I love about this glue is that it came out white but when it dries it became clear and invisible. And it's very easy to clean the glue residue on used lashes as well. So don't worry about damaging your lashes especially if you're using an expensive lashes. ;)

Overall I'm really satisfied with this product and so far Dolly Wink products hasn't disappoint me at all. I definitely recommend this to beginners or even professional make up artist.

The Face Shop - Clean Face Spot Corrector Review

Hi sweet cupcakes! I know I know it has been sooooooooooooooooo long since the last I've posted something on this blog.
Forgive me because I'm very busy to start my own fashion label and I might be busy until the end of this year ;).

Anyway today I wanna show you a skincare product that I've been using recently.

As you guys all know, I do have a lot of acne scar because I tend to scratch my acne (my bad -.-"). So I've been looking for something to brightens up the dark acne scar.

And I come up with this Clean Face Spot Corrector from The Face Shop.


It claims to have:
1. Tea Tree Oil
2. Quick Clear Complex
3. The new and improved quick clear complex treat oily skin and problem skin more quickly and effectively


The texture is just like a thick white gel which will need to take a few minutes for it to be absorbed into the skin. I believe that this product is slightly scented but not too strong. The scent doesn't bother me anyway.


Actually I do not have a lot of things to talk about this products since I don't think that this product is bad or great. For a spot corrector it does brightens up my acne scar but it really takes a long time for it to fades. For me, I don't think only applying this spot corrector is enough, but I also need to use peeling and brightening mask to help the acne scar to be brightened. So if you are looking for something that can heal your acne scar, you can purchase this but you should know that this alone is never enough.

It tooks me around 3-4 months for my acne scar to kind of fades with all the other treatment. If you use this products alone then it might takes even longer. Anyway I do not think that this is a bad product but it wasn't a great product either. But for the price that I paid I think that it works quite well.
