Etude House Lucid Darling Gradiation Eyes (Miss Tangerine) Review - Modest Beauty

Hi!

I'm Honey.

a.k.a. Modest Beauty

Today's post is all about

Etude House

 Lucid Darling Gradation Eyes Palette Miss Tangerine #7 

Right after the Miss Tangerine Line of cosmetics were released by Etude, 

I immediately purchased one for myself.

I got the palette along with some other products, 

and this eyeshadow is actually the first baked-type eyeshadow i have ever tried!

I really had a good first times with this product.

First cream eyeshadow i have tried.

First Korean cosmetic brand i have tried.

First black eyeshadow i have tried.

So see? A lot of first times! :)

Here are the swatches:

I really loved how they named it "Miss Tangerine."  

It really sounds chic and catchy to me

and it really drove me to buy a lot from its line.

Pros:

baked type

pigmented, shimmery colors

radiant and sheer

the eyeshadows feel very soft/smooth

blends very well

it comes with a cream eyeshadow

comes with an applicator tip and an eyeshadow brush

lots of colors/palettes to choose from

all in one palette (base, main color, contour and highlighter)

it comes with an illustration on how to use it at the back of the case

affordable

Cons:

has fall outs

it's pigmented, but when it is applied, it looses it's pigmentation

very glittery at times

average wear (without a primer)

Where i bought:

Etude House Sm Cebu Branch 

Price: approximately php600.00

I must say that i have had this eyeshadow for the longest time
and i really have a good relationship with this product.
I always carry it with me where ever i go. 

It is not one of those superb type of eyeshadows but i still love it.

It's a little more than average if i'm to rate it.

I'm not really a huge fan of the color orange but this palette got me wearing tangerine shades on a daily basis at a point in my life :)

I always prefer using this during day time where the colors show up the most.

About its price, I think it's a little expensive than it's worth/quality. 

If you are looking for a starter type of eyeshadow to use on a daily basis, 

then i would highly recommend buying this one.

That is it for the review!
Hope it helped you a bit.

Clio Professional Art Shadow Review and Swatches

Hello Honeylicious!

This is my review and swatches of the 

Clio Professional Art Shadow 1.5 in #401 Forte Pink

Clio Professional is formulated in Italy but made in Korea.

It's a very popular Korean Cosmetic Brand endoresed by famous Korean asrtists like Lee Hyori and Sandara Park.

It comes in a set of 3 different colors:

(1)very light pink, (2)pink, (3)violet

which is intended as base, gradiation, highlight, ect.

which is actually very cool because you get a lot of benefits/colors in just one case.

Review:

Packaging:

trendy 

sophisticated

unique

artistically done

Pros:

baked type

rich and very pigmented

shimmery, long lasting colors

easy gliding on the lids

variety of  trendy shades to choose from

set of 3 shades in one case

less fall outs

very easy to blend

Cons:

pricy

can only be purchased online

price: php678

where i bought/ where to buy: 

www.getitmakeover.com

If you are into shimmery, popped colors, 

then this art shadows are meant for you because not only are they very pigmented, 

they look so attractive as well.

They got a lot of different shades, like you name it, they have it, 

so you'll never ran out of options to choose from!

I love this eyeshadow and even though it's a bit pricy, i think it was a good buy for me.

It's worth it and i think the shade that i got is just fit for the summer season 

where all the lovely colors come alive.

That's all for this review and i'll talk to you guys later!!!

Hugs and kisses,

I.myss Marcato Real Color Lipstick Review

Hello honeylicious!

This post will all be about the

Marcato Real Color Lipstick

from the brand

I.MYSS

I got this lipstick as a prize last January 2012.
It was my first blessing of the year and i was very excited to try it out
since it's a cosmetic brand that i have never really tried out in the past.

I.myss is a Korean cosmetic brand so it's very unlikely to find this product in the malls,
apart from Tony Moly and Etude House, 

most of it's goods can only be purchased online.

I got really lucky to have one to try.

The Marcato Real Color Lipstick Collection has 10 different beautiful shades

and i got the Pink Beige #3.

My First Impression:

It did not impress me at first.

After i wore it for the first time, my sister said:

"Pura kag patay 'te."

It means "You look like a dead person Ate,"
simply because I really looked so sickly and pale with it on.

*this is how i looked like the first time i tried this product,

it really gave me a shock!

I have never tried using a really "pale" nudy lipstick before, 

so maybe my sister and i got overwhelmed seeing myself with that pale nudy look.

But

 that was just at first because sooner i got used to it
and i found out ways on how i can use it to its maximum
and i will share it to you below,
but first let me just compare and contrast what this lipstick claims
from what i experienced from this product.

   

What the product claims:

-High glossy effect.

I can attest to that. It is one of the features of this product that i love about, and the "glossy-ness" really lasts for quite sometime and the color does not really fade easily even after eating.

-Multi-effect.

I think the "multi-effect" that they are saying is quite ambiguous and misleading.

However, i could not agree more that it has great moisturizing effects since it contains grape seed oil, which is a common ingredient among cosmetic brands to control moisture either on the lips, or the skin.

It also helps condition the lips.

-Luminous Pearl Effect.

All i can say is two thumbs up!

-Fresh Flowery Scent

I saw a poster of this product claiming that it has a fresh flowery scent.

Well, the lipstick has a pleasant smell but i can't figure out its actuality since the smell is similar to the smell of my other lipsticks. There is really no distinction.

Packaging:

very chic

looks expensive
practical
easy to use

Pros:

affordable price

glossy/shimmery effect

moisturizing effect

pearl effect on the lips

non-sticky
stays long

blends well with other lipsticks

pleasant, soft smell

variety of shades to choose from

Cons:
paleness
lack of vibrance
availability

Swatches:


*plain lipstick on my lips


*with a nudy lip liner

Though I didn't have a good start with this lipstick,
i later discovered something that made me to start liking the product.
I will tell you the secret why i started loving it.

I have matte lipsticks with really strong and dark shades such as crimson and orange.
There was a time, i was trying on those lipsticks and i was thinking on how i can tone down the strong colors so it can be wearable on a daily basis.
I tried to apply the Marcato Real Color on top of the crimson lipstick that i have
and i actually love the result.
After i combine this lipstick with another one which is more bold in color, i'd really love its finish.

VOV Light Lasting Foundation Review

Hello honeylicious!

This is my review of the

VOV Light Lasting Foundation

I got this product as a prize from 

getitmakeover.com

a korean make-up brand online shop.

***

VOV is a good professional make-up brand

-two thumbs up-

and was even compared by one of the make-up gurus in youtube

to be the MAC version of Korea.

I have used this product for quite some time already and so far, i love it.

I use it with the VOV Light Lasting Primer and it really goes a long way!
It's such an amazing foundation!

PROS:

a perfect long lasting make-up base

has UV-blocking properties (SPF 31 PA ++)

has whitening effects on the skin

it has anti-wrinkle effects

gives off a beautiful, satiny complexion

gives off a bright skin tone

blends well and easy

light to medium coverage on the skin

can double the coverage, yet still doesn't cake on the skin

good for all skin types

conceals skin imperfections

skin looks flawless

packaging is super pretty

it has a devine, soft smell

it is pump foundation

Cons:

limited shades to choose from (only two)

can only be bought online

With a make-up brand coming from Korea,
i thought it would not go well with my skin type
since Philippine complexion is way far from Korean complexion,

plus, weather is also another factor since Philippines is really a humid place
and it's really sunny most of the year compared to Korea which has a cold weather condition,
but this product surfaced my expectation.

It is good for all skin types plus the very pretty bottle which adds to it's elegance!

I love this foundation and i'm thinking of repurchasing it even before it'll be used up :)
