Spring Peach & Cherry Blossom lipsticks

 Hello,

I know packaging isn't enough to go into shopping spree but look at these two, they are beautiful.

These pastel beauties are Joocyee Crystal Jelly Mirror Lipsticks in Spring Peach and Cherry Blossom. They were advertised as transfer proof lipsticks and that information got me hooked plush the pretty packaging.

Even the outer packaging is pretty and well thought. Little string goes around the circle and taht holds the box together, so nice and different.

I love the watercolor effect and the tube isn't smooth so it is important to put the lid back on with the golden tooth and Joocyee name together otherwise there will be a rough ridge.

Shades are unexpectedly similar, Spring Peach should be peachier while Cherry Blossom should be more pink, instead they are both in the red territory. 

There is no scent to them but what made me upset is the fact that these print on my cup. Not just the glos but the pigment as well...

They have lovely shine, not super glossy but glossier than regular lipsticks, pigment is buildable.

Spring Peach looks like a red base with neutral nude thrown in the mix, it is not vivid like the next shade.

Cherry Blossom is bright red in the neutral zone. If applied with one or two coats red pigment isn't as intense but there is also a bit less glow.

I like the Spring Peach shade more than Cherry Blossom. Longevity is more than one hour and I like the gloss but I just can't get around how different they looked on photos. I think I will keep only one and pass the other one to my sister, I think she will appreciate the shiny lipstick.

Pink Ocean & Diamond Sea

 Hello,

for today I have two pretty pink balms/lipsticks. I love the lovely packaging but I was hopping that the product inside would be exceptional.

They are Joocyee Long-Lasting Glossy Rouge in Pink Ocean and Diamond Sea. I love that the packaging is slightly different color so it is easy to separate them without opening.

They are click operated and they do not roll back. Each holds 3 g of product.

In the packaging they look pretty similar only the glitter separates them. Each base looks more reddish nude than pink.

Glitter is multicolored and there is a lot of it but on the lips I feel like it looks more modest. Sparkles add to the overall glow and it does not look just shimmer.

Each swatch was made with three layers to uniform the color.

Pink Ocean is a bit more red on me while Diamond Sea is a bit paler with sparkles. There is no scent or taste to them.

They start glossy but don't create that lovely mirror like finish. Color does not stay put, it transfers on my cups or glass. 

They have pretty good longevity, shine stays for more than one and a half hours, it is not super glossy, not even at the beginning but I like that it lasts, on the other hand it gets a little sticky towards the end. It feels like the water evaporates and only the pigment and glitter particles remain and that substance get a bit heavy. I can see myself using them at least the shimmery option but probably I will not be buying more shades. This odd feeling after 2 hours is weird and unpleasant.

Happy Me Day

 Hello,

I was curious about this cream shade, there were three shades in total and I was choosing between two shades, at the end I picked the one I thought would fit me the best.

It is Joocyee Happy Me Day cream blush in the shade Romantic Pink. Packaging is pretty bulky  and takes a lot of space but it is cute :)

In the pan it looks a bit peachier, still strongly pink but with peach tone, blended into my skin tone I see a lot of white base and it is very cool toned pink.

It is very pigmented, a light touch is enough to cover both of my cheeks. Swatches were made with only one swipe and part of a hard swatch is blended out and I still had plenty of product left on my finger.

This has a very thick formula and it needs a little work to smooth over my pores or bumps, back of my hand is pretty smooth which can't be said the same for my face. I would say that first coat is a bit unforgiving but spending another few minutes to blend out work and I get even application. I use it under my foundation and then blend the edges with whatever foundation I have left on the make-up sponge.

Such cool tones aren't my best friends but good blending and a light layer of foundation over makes it wearable. I even tried another powder blush over to change the tone and shade (light nude and peach blush) and that works. It dries matte, there is obviously no shimmer particles but also no glow so I like to add some highlighter on top to make it shiny as I like it :)

This blush is the thickest and most pigmented in my collection. A little really goes a long way so it will take me forever to finish it. There was also pale nude shade that I was eyeing it but now I probably will not get it since I prefer more sheer formulas which are easier to blend out. I know it is just a few seconds but in the morning when I am doing my make-up every minute counts (I am a sleepy head :).

Big shopping spree no. 5

 Hello,

another post on one of my largest packages. This one includes also some free gifts with purchase.

On top there is Colorgram Fruity Glass Tint in Pink Gloss. This one isn't really a tint but a clear gloss with sparkles. They recommend to use it over tints for that extra shine and I fell for it since the stacked candy as a lid sucked me into thinking I don't have enough lip glosses.

Silver stick is About Tone Blur Lasting Stick Primer. I watched someone over youtube using it and make-up looked really pretty and it was on sale so I decided to test it myself to see if it will do the same for me.

Two chic tubes are Hince Mood Enhancers Lip Glows in Dear Rose and Chill Out. Honestly their whole campaign looks so nice. Models are wearing barely there base and a hint of make-up on their lips and it looks very nice. I wanted to recreate that feeling with these tow sticks. Hopefully they are aslo nourishing lip balms not just tinted sticks.

On the bottom there are three freebies, they are Unleashia Shaper Defining Eyebrow Pencil in Taupe Gray, Oatmeal Brown and Kraft Brown. I was not able to choose colors and since my brows are black I think only Taupe Gray will fit me, I will see if I can use the other two as eye liners... 

Egg shaped sphere is Hince Raw Glow Dewy Ball in the shade Bare Dew. These are supposed to be similar to the Fwee ones and are a bit cheaper so I decided to try out one to see how they compare. On top of that brand as a whole, Hince is pulling me in with their beautiful vision.

Big white bow is Joocyee Happy Me Day Cream Blush in Romantic Pink. On promo photos this shade put a spell on me and I could not let it go. Nude one is also super pretty but this one was no. one for me and if I like the formula then I might pick the other one too. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Big shopping spree no. 4

 Hello,

almost done with my big parcel. Here I have some more items, some of them I wanted for a long time and some (glittery eye shadow) were bought in the moment they came on sale and I checked them out, thinking they look interesting.

Lets start with fun looking boxes from Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tints from their Pink Haguma edition. They are little potatos and I found that super funny. There is something about smiling potatos which make my heart smile. I picked all three shades in  Monthly Pink, Pink Spirit and Daldal Pink, their formula never disappoints me.

Next is Clio Glaze Lip Serum in Bare Plum. For me this shade isn't quite plummy but that is fine by me, I loved the muted look of the shade and I am such a sucker for lip glosses in tubes... they are the hardest to resist. 

I kept next item in the box mainly because I really like it. It is Joocyee Happy Me Day Crystal Gloss in Peach Jelly. One out of the four shades and I think this formula is the same as in my pink one and I liked that one a lot so I decided to get this one in the shimmery shade.

I also picked another FlowerKnows Strawberry Cupid Makeup Palette. This one is in Strawberry Casis option, more pinky/nude and a bit cooler. I can't wait to try them out. They both look super beautiful. 

Mini in the middle is Unleashia Moon Light Liquid Glitter in Peach Star. It looks tiny but it does hold 4,1 g of product. It looks super sparkly and I intent to use it on my eyes to add that extra shimmer in the middle of the lid or use it as a sparkly liner, I have a lot of fun ideas how to use it.

Last two items are Jungsaemmool items, I purchased lippie and received blush free of charge. Tube of gloss is Lip-Pression Meta Serum Gloss in Chai Tea. It comes in 10 ml tube and it is supposed to me light nude gloss, I feel like I don't haw that many in this type of shade (at the moment I am finishing one and then I can't think of any other). This one also has a cooling metal tip and I hope the is no tingling or at least to be very mild.

The other one is Jungsaemmool Artist Cushion blush in the shade Coral Halo and it was free gift. I could not choose this shade myself but as far as I can see it looks nice and I can't wait to try it out.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Big shopping spree no. 1

 Hello,

I recently did some more damage to my wallet. I got a little too excited for these items and clicked on buy before thinking this one through.

Lets start with the largest item which is FlowerKnows Strawberry Cupid makeup palette in Honey Canele. It is mostly brown with peach accents (recently I have been leaning into peachy makeup and I am all over this color story).

Under the palette are Joocyee Dewdrop Glaze lip oils in Vanilla Fever and Fussy Berry. There was also the brown version but at the end I decided not to get it since I already had so many items in the basket. Alos it looked pretty dark and I wasn't sure I would like it that much. Peachy Vanilla Fever and pink Fussy Berry looked more like my cup of tea.

The one with the red lid is Joocyee Plum & Glossy dual lip combo in Icy Lilac. There is 0,13 g of lip liner and 2,3 ml of lip gloss so you can combine the two. I am getting into lip liners and this lip gloss looked like it is packed with tons of pretty shimmers.

in the box is Peripera Over Blur Tint in the shade Even Rosy. I am not big on matte lips but I wanted to try some products to see if I can change my mind plush this shade looked like something I would like a lot.

On the next two product. They had a few shades and I had a hard time to pick only one so I settled for two :). They are Tony Moly Juicy Peptide Lip Jellys in Grape Jelly and Peach Jelly. I am super excited to put them to the test.

Lastly there is another Unleashia Sunset Dazzle Gloss Balm in Malibu. I already have one shade and the formula felt so nice that I decided to pick lighter pink shade as well. They came out with more shades which are more muted nude options plus a shimmery lavender one. I like the mood nudes but the bright lavender with tiny shimmers stole my heart only that it is out of my reach. I acan't find it anywhere since it is an exclusive shade :(

Thank you you for reading and have a nice day

Peach Jellyfish

 Hello,

I am back with another Joocyee lip gloss. I truly hopped that I would like this one better than the previous one.

Beautifully oil slicked tube is Joocyee Glazed lip gloss in shade 09 Peach Jellyfish. Tube is quite large but it holds only 3,2 ml of product but the translucent and jet colorful packaging is stunning.

Applicator is slightly paddle like and holds plenty of product. Shade is vibrant coral leaning towards red but still kind of fresh looking and modern.

First is fresh swatch and second is stain left behind. There is some golden shimmers visible but I can spot them more in the stain version, on the fresh swatch they almost hide within glow.

This gloss isn't super glossy (I wished it would be juicier) and this shine also doesn't last awfully long. After around half an hour it starts fading and on my lips this one leaves uneven stain. My arm has nice, even stain so I know my lips have something weird going on.

Shade is a bit bright for me but I still like it a lot, only the mediocre shine and uneven staining prevent me from using it more often. I think I will give this one to my sister, maybe she will have better experience with staining. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Sweet Grapefruit lip gloss

 Hello,

I picked out more items from this popular brand because almost everything looks soo good and I am super tempted to get everything from them.

This one is Joocyee Spiral Shell Glazed lip gloss in 21 Sweet Grapefruit. Scent is faint but odd, like wet towel. Thankfully it is not detectable while on the lips.

It has this soft applicator to soften the edges, I personally don't love it with this pigmented red gloss but with some other texture like lip balm in a pot with a softer texture it would be nice to use).

Applicator to actually apply gloss is pretty standard and it carries a lot of product. Shade is soft red and it gets brighter with every layer.

When I applied it, it is not juicy looking immediately, it takes a few minutes for the shine to come out to play and I feel like it also gets a bit deeper and brighter after a few minutes.

This shade looks really nice on the lips, it brings life back to my face. I hopped that the shine would last for hours but it starts fading pretty fast. After about half an hour it dries and I am left with rather uneven stain. I don't know what is wrong with my upper lip but often lip stains stain the edge but not the inner part of my lip so I look like I lined but forgot to fill it in and this staining gloss does just that. It is even worst because it is bright.

I really thought that I will love this one since the shade is so pretty and the packaging has these swirls (if you look up close the first photo you can see that the packaging isn't just one shade). The scent is odd and shine doesn't last, pigment which remains isn't even but here I have to admit that my lips are at fault because normal humans get even staining and probably this one will work fine on someone else, so I think I will pass it to my sister, so at least someone could get full potential. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Lucent Pink

 Hello,

lip glosses in tubes are my favorite lip products and I am always on the hunt for something new. We had plastic, then donut and now metal applicators. I really wanted to try this type of cooling effect since I wasn't sure it would make a lot of difference.

I picked this Joocyee Crystal Gloss in Lucent Pink. Soft, baby pink shade appealed to me the most and these come in 8 ml tubes. There is slight fruity scent but I can't figure it out which fruit it belongs to, it is not strong and when on the lips I can't detect it.

Metal applicator is wide and disperses product but it can be a bit awkward on my thin lips (too wide) and maybe because the shade is light it can be a bit uneven but when it settles it is fine. It helps if I squeeze just a little, the formula is glossy even with a thin layer. 

This baby pink shade stole my heart, I love it. It is juicy on the lips and not sticky at all. It feels a bit thin, not super cushion like but it is okay since the staying power is nice.

I think I picked the right shade, the applicator is nicely cooling but slightly too big for me. The longevity is really nice and I think I will use it with joy.

I accidentally purchased two (same line same shade) so I am glad that I actually really like it :)

My birthday shopping no.4

 Hello,

this is another one from Asian brands and I am super excited to try these items, I even managed to rip the beautiful blue box :(

First is the oil slicked packaging of Joocyee Glazed Lip Gloss in Sweet Grapefruit, super excited to try this shiny gloss in a beautiful packaging.

Happy sun is GirlCult Nanyang Holiday Collection Mood Blusher Powder in the shade Love to Fight. Not only the packaging but also the product is super beautiful. 

Under is a pink tube of Joocyee Crystal Gloss in Lucent Pink. I love the glosses that come in squeeze tubes, I know I will love it unless the formula is somehow thick or if the gloss is too pigmented. after the package arrived this one looked similar... a have already ordered this one in the exact shade... I better love this since now I have two ;)

Then there are three JudyDoll items. I love the shiny silver with baby blue pairing. It looks fresh and clean to me. First is Lip Gloss Watery Essence in Peach Ice with 4 ml of gloss, under is 3D Curling Eyelash iron Mascara Curly in Black (I wanted to try the mini wand so much) and Ice Watery Lip Gloss in Blueberry Bailey's Sweet with only 2,4g of product (it is very small but the metal wand was something I wanted to try out, I wonder if I would like to apply it in the heat, if it would make a difference).

Lastly there is Bbia L'eau Tint in the shade Fleur L'eau. This whole collection is inspired by beautiful florals and I had a hard time choosing only one.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

My birthday shopping no.3

 Hello,

I am back with another part of my birthday shopping.

First is Joocyee Spiral Shell Glazed Lip Gloss in the shade Peach Jellyfish (I loved the name plus the shade looked quite natural).

Two lipsticks there are also Joocyee Crystal Jell Mirror Lipsticks in Spring Peach and Awakening Sakura. I have to admit that the packaging is truly beautiful (there are also some other color versions of this yellow toned packaging and I am super interested but first I would like to try these to to see how the formula is like).

In the middle there is Nivea Japan Deep Moisture Night Protect Honey scent lip butter. In the past they had under Labello these lip butters in tin packaging (just like their famous cream) which were just amazing but they discontinued them :( so it was only natural to pick this one when I saw it, to see if they are good like the old ones.

On the bottom there are Canmake Powder cheeks in Powerful Pink, Little Shy Pink and Clever Beige (this one is more cream than beige but I am okay with it). They look so shiny, I can't wait to try them out.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

My birthday shopping no.2

 Hello,

yesterday was only one part of my shopping. Today I am sharing some more items, that I decided to get to treat myself for a B-day.

I would like to start with Rom&nd blush from their limited edition with Inapsquare, it is Better than Cheek in the shade Ginger Night. Pale apricot with a little nude thrown in the mix.

Then there is shiny lipstick from Etude Color Lasting Glow Stick in the shade Rosy Taupe, I have to try it out but at first glance it doesn't look Rosy or Taupey.

Similar shade of blush from Bbia Last Blush in Juliet Rose. This one looks a tad more vivid but still very neutral and toned down.

In the bottom right corner is big pot of Skinfood Honey Sugar Food Mask Lip Sleeping Pack, not only it has such a ridiculously long name the packaging contains whopping 21 g of product.

There are two Joocyee Long-lasting Glossy Rouges in Oceanic theme, Diamond Sea and Pink Ocean. There is a lot of different shades but these two spoke to me the most.

For my brows I decided to get Etude Drawing eye brow in Dark Grey. I am filling my brows with powder but I decided to try something 'new' for me and I got this pencil. I had some before but I always found powder to be the easiest to apply with an angled brush, I want to see if I changed my mind and now pencil will become my best friend.

Lastly there is another blush from Rom&nd, Better Than Cheek Mutural Nude series in  Lychee Chip. This one has pretty sparkles in it and that was the selling point for me.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Glacier Moon

 Hello,

this is a true party product but I love that it can be toned down and worn as an everyday shadow.

It is Joocyee glitter eye shadow single in Glacier Moon option. I love the intricate card box packaging with the string to hold the box together (I already have the lip gloss from them).

In person it shows a bit more icy blue than in photos, where it looks straight up silver. 

It sparkles like crazy, it reminds me of fresh snow on a cold and sunny day. 

First I made a heavy swatch and then tried to sheer it out to see if I can make it more as an everyday sparkly shadow.

The base isn't creamy but when I put it on my lids the particles stay put and don't fall down my cheeks.

Even though it is December I have no fancy parties to attend so I use it for work and I try to wear it a bit more sheer and everyday appropriate. I find it to be versatile and I like that.

I wanted to get the slightly pink option but this icy blue was cheaper so I took this one :) I had glitters like this before and especially when blended out the base color doesn't really show up. I know it is pointless to get more but they look so beautiful. I can find only matte and glittery options, I wonder if they have some with sateen finish.

I am very impressed with Joocyee product and this shadow is no exception.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Woody Rosy

 Hello,

for today I have cool packaging with a slightly misleading name since I can't match name with the shade perfectly.

I purchased Joocyee new smoky glazed gloss in Woody Rosy in 4ml bottle. It comes it the cooles bag with a rope around the circle to keep it closed.

It has the curviest wand and on top of that it is also curved and super soft (when I apply it bends even more).

There is the slightest minty scent and I can also feel it on my lips but it is not cooling which is good news for me.

Shade is named Woody Rosy but it is more orange on me, not my favorite shade but it can be sheered out and it is glossy which is very important for me since juicy lip glosses are my favorite.

Here it is visible how it sheers out and I think it looks nicer on me like that.

I like the outer packaging and especially the bottle itself, since it is not a perfect rectangular but side with darker writing on it is a bit textured. Like if I would spill some water and it would ripple through also the lid is a bit uneven and that bit makes it stand out from the rest of the bottles.

The color is not my favorite but there is also a nude option that I am thinking about. Slight minty flavour isn't bad but I love that it isn't cooling or reacting. Gloss last for about an hour and that is very nice. Overall I like this gloss and I will be wearing it in the future.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Asian haul no.1

 Hello,

I couldn't resist and I made another purchase from the same Asian store and I got a bunch of Asian brands, mostly make-up products :)

Since this box was so full I had to split it into three posts 

In the white box is Joocyee smokey glazed gloss in Woody Rosy. I still can't get over their cool packaging.

Under is Amuse Face Diamond in Pink Diamond shade (I think it is the only shade available), it looks very glittery, will see if this will look good on my cheeks. I have feeling that it will be more of an eye shadow for me.

In the long box is Bbia over glaze stick in Taro Glaze. A cool toned grape shade that I have been eying for a while now and I am super excited to try it out.

Over it is Cosrx lip sleep full fit propolis lip sleeping mask. They had an event with free gifts if I spent enough money and you can be sure I did ;) When I saw this lip mask was in stock I grabbed it. It has propolis in the name and I hope it smells like it (I haven't opened it jet, I am giving myself some time and not to overwhelm myself by opening and trying everything out at the same time).

Next to it is Heart Percent dote on mood top coating lip plumper in option Mood Changer. They have this line of top coats (the packaging still makes me think it is nail polish) for lips to apply them over other lippies to change tones. Mine is in deep sheer grape color and it is supposed to make everything cool toned, I can't wait to try it out.

On top is my free gift from Fwee. It is lip & cheek blurry pudding pot in shade Faded. I could not choose my shade but I quite like it. The matte formula is not something I would pick myself but since it was free I will give it a go

Two big items on the side are Girlcult Four great inventions series emotion blushers in Leave Blank and True Color. Honestly one of them looks more like a highlighter but I have to try them out. These also have cool packaging and I am eying for more.

Last item is House of Hur glow ampoule tint in Ginger (I actually ordered two shades but the other one was sold out so only this one arrived). It is a lovely nude shade and I am excited to try it out since I am on a hunt for a longlasting tint for my lips.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Asian make-up no. 2

 Hello,

below is my second part of my Asian haul with mostly pink products. There is something about a glossy pink lip that I just love and adore. Hopefully I will find a new favorite :)

Cute strawberry blush is Peripera pure blushed sunshine cheek in Strawberry Pink shade. Judydoll 4 shades eyeshadow palette in the Black tea option.

Still in the packaging is Joocyee glitter eyeshadow single in Glacier Moon -light blue shade.

Unleashia sunset dazzle gloss balm in Ibiza shade being all bright in there which is leaning more into coral than pink territory.

Squishy looking tube is Fwee 3D voluming lip gloss in 70% Currant variant.

'Big' palette is 2 in 1 highlighter contour palette and I picked the Wave option.

Under the blush with a star is Dasique pure water lip gloss in Pink Lemonade - it smells delicious.

Three single eyeshadows are Romand slide in single shadows Pale Peony, Toe Shoes and Jambon Pink.

Lip stylo is Gege Bear heart shaped lip gloss in 02.

Another Judydoll palette, this one is in Black tea. Quite warm toned, I was expecting more neutral shades.

On top is miniature Lanege lip sleeping mask in Berry. Another super popular balm that I was itching to try out.

And lastly there are super popular Romand Glasting color glosses in Peony Ballet and Grapy Way.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
