So today, I'll review another one from my large collection of BB Creams, dear Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream SPF40, PA++, that is one of the trending bb creams right now. Is it worth the fuss?

You may report a serious adverse event from use of this to: Report reaction, help@klairs.com


Packaging:







Dear Klairs is an eco-friendly brand, and its products are known for their simple, minimalistic design.
For this bb cream, the colors were restricted to black and cream color, with the words "You look so wonderful just the way you are. Be natural, Klairs" written bellow the product's name, which is a huge plus for me.





Dear Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream comes in a sleek, soft plastic tube with a small nozzle to make dispensing the right amount of product easier.


The scent:
It has a pleasant scent, that makes me think about one of my childhood friends.


The performance:


This BB cream's consistency isn't too liquid nor too solid, and when applied, it feels so light.
What made me hesitate a lot before purchasing this bb cream is the fact that it comes only in one shade, and I've only saw it swatched by girls with yellow undertones, that's why I was afraid it would be a bit yellowish for me, but seems like I was worrying for nothing. The product blended perfectly with my natural skin color on both my face and the darker skin on my hand, and it suprisingly worked just fine for my sister who has a much darker skin than mine.




This bb cream has a natural semi-matte finish, reduces the redness without leaving any grey cast nor accentuating the dry patches around my nose, leaving the skin soft and smooth, without any stickiness.
Even though the initial coverage is very light, it is definitely buildable. But if you are looking for a full coverage, you can pair it up with Dear Klairs Creamy & Natural Fit Concealer.
It claims that it has oil control properties, which I couldn't verify since my skin produces barely any oils during this time of the year, that's why I used a blotting paper to check it out, and I think that it does an okay work, which means that it works for every skin type, oily one included.



Summary


Pros: 

- Its smart color system that makes it suit different skin tones
- Light formula
- Pleasant scent.
- Non sticky.
- Non greasy.
- Doesn't accentuate my dry patches
- Semi matte finish.
- High SPF and PA
- Lovely packaging, and lovelier expression


Cons:

- If you are looking for high coverage, you might not like it.
- only one shade, so it might not suit those with a deeper skin or a paler skin tone.


Where can you buy it?


Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream retails at Amazon for $15.86. (Click here for an Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial)

Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur is one of the popular Korean base makeup/primers, and I personally have been using it since it was launched last year, that's why I'm gonna share my thoughts about it with you today.



Description and claims:

This lightweight cream provides multi-filtering effects for instantly refined and smooth skin.
The texture is smooth but it minimizes pores and brighten complexion.

What it does:

- Covers pores and bumpy skin to make skin look flawless.
- Softening skin layer like filter effect to give smooth and even skin layer.
- Natural whitening skin to make dark skin look bright and cover imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.
- Baby pixel powder and cover powder compounds give 3-in-1 multi filter effect like adjusting light on skin.

Volume: 35g

Ingredients:


Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Zinc Oxide (Ci 77947), Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Glycerin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Magnesium Sulfate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Tribehenin, Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil Isostearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Silica, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium Edta, Fragrance(Parfum), Phenoxyethanol, Mica (Ci 77019), Iron Oxides (Ci 77492), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491)

So like many other primers, this primer contains lots of silicones... 

How to use:


- As the last step of skin care, apply the cream on face and smoothly massage following skin layers.
- It can be used solely or you may use it with Any Cushion line products for more intensive coverage.
(Apply Any Cushion after Beauty Shot Face Blur)


Packaging:



This primer comes in a little pretty peach colored bottle (We're talking about Etude House, of course the packaging would be pretty), with a pump dispenser that dispenses just the right amount of product that would be enough for the whole face.

The scent and texture:

It has a vague baby powder scent. This primer is a lightweight  peach-pinkish cream, that is neither too watery nor too thick, that spreads easily, and leaves a white cast if not well blended (or id you use more product than you should).


The performance:

When applied and blended, this primer provides a light coverage and skin evening and toning up, coupled with a little bit of SPF, which makes it okay to use alone if you want. Up close, this primer is quite shimmery, just a little to make your skin look glowy (unlike the perfect cover bb cream that is quite sparkly). Pore-wise, this primer does a decent job minimising the pores and making the skin smoother (you can see for yourself in the pictures below, excuse my awful blackheads, I just don't find the time to take care of them, oh and for the nose shots, one of the is flipped while the other isn't)




so let's summarize!

Pros:

- Fills the pores
- Brightens the skin
- Provides light coverage and tones down redness (nothing major though)
- Kinda lives to its name: it has the same effect as a low degree beauty face effect (2/5 or something)
- Makes your foundation/ BB cream last longer.
- Can be used both alone or under a foundation.
- A little goes a long way

Cons:

- A little bit expensive for just 35g, but not unreasonably so.


Would I repurchase it?

Yes! actually, it's my second bottle


Would I repurchase it?

- Amazon for $11.99
- StyleKorean for $13.31

Hi lovelies~~
I'm back again with a new review,  yaay ~

When I reviewed the mamonde lippie last time (here), I mentioned that peripera ink lip tints are on the top on my "lippies to try" list, and recently, I got the Peripera Peri's Ink Minimini Set Girls Cabinet in hot pink, and today I'm gonna share with you what I think about it.

Description and Claims:

The Limited-Edition Set Includes the Complete Peri's Ink Collection.
Also comes with the New Limited-Edition Peri's Ink 'Captivating Quart'!
Cute Stickers to Create your Own Tin Case!







Capacity: 2.7g × 5ea



Packaging: 10/10




The packaging is absolutely eye-catching. both the box and the tin cabinet are glossy hot pink, have kinda identical designs with some information in both korean and english printed on the back.






It also comes with a random set of stickers to customize your cabinet the way you want. I thought the stickers are made of paper when I first saw it online but  seems like it's made of some kind of fabric.



Inside the cabinet, you get five tiny teeny adorable bottles that are kinda similar to the full version but much smaller (I took a pic of them side by side to give you an idea about their size)


They all have the same applicator except for the ink velvet one, you can see the difference in the pictures bellow:

Ink the velvet:




The others:




Scent: 9/10

The lip tints have a sweet candy smell, which you might not like, but I'm totally fine with it, while the peripera ink drop BB smells like... BB cream, but the scent isn't as strong as the other bb creams, I think it has the lightest smell out of all the bb creams I've tried before.



Mini Reviews and Swatches:


To be honest, I wanted to try the baby pink/blue one since I kinda liked the colors better, but since they were out of stock I went for the hot pink one and let me tell you, I'm glad I did. as you can notice on my swatches, the colors on the website are kinda deceiving and look nothing like the actual colors which are prettier in my opinion.






Limited edition: Rose Quartz 10/10

This was the one that surprised me the most. I was expecting something between a hot pink and a crimson pink but it ended up being a lovely rose. it looks really natural and can be used as an everyday lippie. It dries up in seconds (the fastest out of all of them) and doesn't transfer at all. it lasts for about 3-4 hours (it would probably last much longer if you don't lick your lips constantly like I do) but once the rosy color starts fading, it leaves a darker pink stain behind that stays for quite long time (kinda similar to the color in the swatches provided by peripera).
Also, it has the most liquidy texture out of all of them but still pigmented which means a little goes a long way. I think this is the one I will be using the most.

The Original: No spoiler 9/10

This one is thicker than the Rose Quartz one and needs longer time to dry fully, but once it dries it becomes kiss proof which is always a plus. The color is nothing near a true red which was a little disappointing, but also it wasn't an orangey red but a pinkish red instead which is fine by me (don't get me wrong, I love orange and orangish lippies, I just prefer them as lipsticks instead of lip tints).
It lasts longer than the previous one (maybe because it's a darker color so you can see it longer).

The moisture: Miss Adorable 8/10

This one is the stickier out of the bunch. It feels like it never dries and thus it isn't kiss proof which is kinda understandable since it has a glossy finish. The color is kinda similar to the no spoiler one, but this one is more vibrant while the other is slightly darker. I feel like it isn't as pigmented as the others (but still fairly pigmented) and it lasts about 4 hours before it starts loosing it glossiness, but it leaves a reddish pink stain behind that doesn't fade for hours.

The velvet: Inkrush 9/10

I love the ink velvet line which means I loved this one as well. This is so far the only one that looks irl like it does on the pictures provided by Peripera; a true orange. This one is the thickest out of all of these lippies and takes a considerably long time to dry fully (usually about 15 minutes...but today it seemed like it took hours so I got tired from waiting and even tried to blow dry it and ended up drying my already dehydrated skin instead.. that's why I took a pic of it when it's still "wet") It dries into a velvety finish that is similar to matte lipsticks (sticks not liquid lippies). It lasts really long and looks really pretty but unfortunately it transfers a little. The stain it leaves is actually the same color as the product itself so it doesn't look weird when it starts fading.
Some people found it kinda drying but I didn't even though I have dry lips, so I think it depends on individuals or something? I don't know.

Ink Drop BB 5/10

This bb cream is really watery (I've never tried a similar bb cream before), it has a really light coverage and gives a matte finish. It is suitable for people with nice skins and maybe a minor redness that the wanna hide and still look natural.
This bb cream comes in two shades, I've got the No 2 and it's a little bit darker than my skin, while the No 1 might be a tiny bit lighter if it is anything like the peripera bb cushions, which means this bb cream is only suitable for people with fair skin tones (I'm NW15 btw).


Would I repurchase it?

I'll probably purchase more shades (especially from the velvet line), and would absolutely get the full version of the Rose Quartz if I find it. If you are curious about peripera's products, I absolutely recommend purchasing this one and trying it out, it's worth the money and the packaging is adorable and can be used later to store your eyeliners or lip pencils or something.


Where to buy:

 It's a limited edition.. too bad

If you ask me what korean products you wanna try, I won't think twice before answering:

- Mamonde Creamy Tint Lip Color Balm Intense
- Peripera Peri's Ink Velvet
- Etude House Kiss Lating Tint

I've tried to get the kiss lasting tint multiple times (since there are only two colors that I reeeeeaaally wanna get) but the korean customs always send it back saying that there is something wrong with the packaging (how stupid is that?), so I ended up giving up. As for the other two, I wanna get the whole collection if I could but... money (mamonde have 47 colors, 10 bucks each... the day I would spend 470$ on lipsticks my dad will kick me out). That's why, on my latest haul, the first things I picked up were Mamonde Creamy Tint Lip Color Balm Intense in #22 and Peripera girl's cabinet (I couldn't not get it) along with some other products I love.

So today, I'm gonna talk about the one I'm currently in love with (and I'm probably gonna get kicked out since I reaaaaaaaaally wanna buy more shades, and I can't not try the velvet version): Mamonde Creamy Tint Lip Color Balm, Intense.





Description and Claims:

3 in 1 lip color with [Lipstick (Vivid color) + Tint (Long lasting power) + Lip balm (Moisturizing)]
There are 3 varieties: Light (more like a tinted balm), Intense (semi-matte) and Intense velvet (matte)
# 21-25: Stylish and depth up


Capacity: 3g





Packaging: 10/10




It's an easy to use auto pencil, all you have to do is twist off the colored bottom to push the stick out. it comes with a transparent plastic cap that goes halfway down the tube, which makes it less likely to come off when you put it in your purse. It comes in a simple black box with a colored band showing the lippie's color.



Scent: 10/10

It has a really light scent that you won't notice unless you put it right under your nose.


Texture: 9/10

This lippie is really smooth and creamy, and although it has a matte/semi-matte finish, it doesn't dry out the lips. But still, if you have dry patches on your lips, make sure to scrub them out first before applying it for a flawless look.


Pigmentation: 10/10

This product it highly pigmented, so you don't have to layer it, so a little goes a long way. Also, it is easily blendable so if you are a fan of gradient lips, this lippie would work just well for you.



Application: 10/10

The creamy texture makes it super easy to apply it evenly on your lips to get a full lip look, and since it's not toooooo creamy (oily) it doesn't smear out of your lips and  creating a spiderweb-like look around them, also since it's a crayon like product, it's easy to apply accurately around the edges of your  lips (unless you have really thin lips, you better use a lip brush then)
And as mentioned above, you can also use it for gradient lips since it's easy to blend and thus you can control the gradient.




Hydration/Moisture: 7/10

Since this isn't a water tint, it doesn't dry out the lips but instead adds a little more moisture to it. But it's not as hydrating as they make it seem (a lot less hydrating than a lip balm)


Lasting Power: 7/10

It does a decent job lasting throughout the day, but it fades in the center of your lips after a greasy meal. Also it isn't transfer nor kiss proof, so it fades this way as well.


Would I repurchase it?

Yes! I love it and would probably buy the other shades as well (sorry wallet)


Where to buy:

- At Amazon for $8.98 (Click here for an Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial)

PS: this is the older version, they changed the packaging recently along with the shades (they still got some gorgeous shades tho')
