Perfect Flush


I don't know about you but for me, putting blush on was one of the hardest things to do. I would either never end up with color on my cheeks, or it would look too fake. A few days ago I went blush shopping and the sales associate showed me a really easy way to apply the darn thing, great thing is, it is SUPER easy :) Okay locate the ends of your eyes go down until you see or feel you cheek bone, this is going to be your starting point of your blusher. Next with a brush or your fingers you would put the color on by moving up towards your hair.
I hope that wasn't too confusing!

Etude House Nail Polish Trio

I love it when Etude House comes out with their limited edition nail polish trios! They are always easy to use, and  I always get compliments on them! This Party Glam edition is my FAVORITE! They are great for dances and come in three different colors to match your look; pink, silver, and gold. I got the gold one, but I think I'm going to go back for the rest of them.


Packaging:
The box really caught my eye! It is really shiny and it follows the color of the nail polishes; so the silver one will have a silver box! The finger on the box does not do justice on how nice the nails will look. The bottles are the same as any Etude House nail polishes are, cute. However, I had an incident with one Etude House nail polish breaking (not this one) and saw how thing the glass was so careful!

They all have signs of glitter

My Experience:
Doing the nails were a breeze. The only complication was the most glittery bottle because not a lot of the glitter would stick to the brush! My only concern it getting this off, but that's another story :)

Fourth day and still no chips (with base and top coat)

Fourth day

Overall:
Easy to do, reasonably priced (6500 Won about 6.50 dollars), and long lasting. Love it!



Eye Shadow

Holika Holika's eye shadows are my favorite drugstore Korean products. They are very pigmented and they have a nice glide and creaminess to them unlike other companies' shadows which have this kind of grittiness to them. Plus, they have a lot of sales that make them buy one get one :) Now lets go in depth with this product!

Packaging
The packaging is simple, but cheap looking. They are as decorative with their original eye shadows  (meaning their permanent line), however, their limited edition eye shadows are a bit pricier than i would expect for a "drugstore" product.
both matte colors great for a natural everyday look

Dark Chocolate and Dusty 
vanilla

Texture:
As mentioned above, it is creamy and pigmented. It isn't as creamy as the Urban Decay eye shadows, but it is getting there!

Overall:
They are about 4 -5 dollars (4000 - 5000 Won) depending each eye shadow's finish (the matte ones are cheaper). I'll defiantly repurchase these and if you have the chance to buy them as well, go for it!
