Innisfree Creammelow & Color Glow Lipstick


Ordered these Innisfree Creammellow Lipstick online. Havent seen them at the local Innisfree yet. Both colours turned out unsuitable for my lips. #anotherdarklipsproblem


I ordered creammellow #3 and #8. Who knew on my lips they would look like crap. Grabbed these colour coding from etude site. They have aditional 2 new shades. 


Texture is pretty moisturising but the colour chart is very off. Maybe because of my dark lips. One thing i need to remind myself of after this experience is never to order lipstick online without trying out the colours on my lips first. 


So after being disappointed at the creammellow lipsticks I went down to Innisfree another time and I saw Yoona's pic and the lipsticks there! oMg ok great finally I can try  on the colours. I really like the moisture level but not the colours i ordered. So tried them on and decided to get this surprise surprise coral colour. What else was I gonna get right. Colour coding  seems a little off but I didnt pay much attention to that. I reached home and realised that i frickin got the wrong range. The one I got from the shop was Color Glow! Grrrrr. I was so annoyed. Best thing is the one I picked has a little glitter in it which I dont like but since I so wanted a creammellow lipstick I just got it anyway. Double grrr. That explains why the colour coding was different from what I saw online. #stupidme 


Inner metal tube is different. But you wont be able to tell the difference from the outside. 


See. Exactly the same. Wtf. I am still using the colorglow occasionally not because I dont like it but because I have like a bazillion of lipsticks in operation now and my current go to is still my Too Faced Melted. 

Sliced off the tip of both creammellow and will be passing the redhot to Angela and the lighter one to my sil if she wants it. She suits these nude shades. 


They had up to shade #10 initially but now i think there were few more shades hence my #12. 



Looks pinkish here but somehow turned orange on my lips again hahahah. 


Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick 
#12

Pros
Moisturising.
Colour payoff is good.

Cons:
You will see little clumps on the lipstick after one or two applications. Not sure why that is. Maybe from dirt or dust or peeled off skin? I cant have that much skin so dont think so. Maybe just dirt. I dont see this on my other tube lipsticks. 

This shade has a little shimmer which I dont like. 

Rating: 3.5/5

How are you feeling today?

Just want to share some quotes I found on Pinterest on mostly Loyalty and Honesty. Qualities that are probably almost non-existent these days. Always trust your gut. If its telling you something is wrong, something IS wrong.

Etude House Tint My Brows


Went to the new super huge flagship Etude House store at Wisma Atria today. They have many more new items compared to the other tiny Etude shops.  Ive used up my single 20% off yesterday. What a waste. I got the hair treatment and more lip balm. Will do the review for those next time. 


This brow filler is waterproof and comes in 2 shades. I got shade #1. The other is a light brown shade more suitable if you have dyed brown hair. 


It comes with instructions on the side which confused me for a while. But i ended up using it like i would a normal brow pencil.


Just like a calligraphy pen tip. Soft and glides smoothly. Dispenses automatically,  no twist cap. 


Most bottom stroke is one layer of the tint, second stroke up has 2 layers, top stroke has 3 layers. It is pretty light but i think that is a good thing. You cant build it up to be too strong which always happen if you get too carried away with brow pencil. Colour matches my original brow colour well. 


It doesn't look very different compared to my black nature republic brow pencil. The finish is more natural. And i did a scrub test. Usually with one swipe of my finger the pencil will rub off immediately but one swipe wont do much to this tint. 

Havent worn this out for  the whole day but i can forsee it lasting the entire day. Usually at the end of the day with brow pencil my brow shape will get distorted -certain spots are starting to bald. I think its because i usually scratch any itch i feel on my brows hahah. My original brow without make up is pretty sparse. Just one patch of healthy growing brow at the front and towards the end the growth is very sparse. Ive been trying to reshape and grow out my brows but the progress is really really x5billion times slow. 

There is no spooley and no need for that since the look is already so natural and light. I guess i can save time too since I skip this step. 


Etude House Tint My Brows
#01 Gray Brown 

Pros
"Waterproof" enough. 
Smaller than normal eyebrow pencil - very portable.
Light tint so you wont overdraw your brows.
More natural finish than pencil. 

Cons
None so far - size wise maybe it will finish very fast if you use it daily

Rating: 4.5/5 
Best eyebrow filler so far. I will be replacing most of my pencils to this next round.
