My New Obsession: tarte Natural Lip Stain

It's not really a secret that I am a complete and total freak for all things tarte. I just love so much about them: the colors, the packaging, the attitude -- it's just so great. So they can almost do no wrong in my book, but this time, they have outdone themselves and created a product that is oh so very right.  The tarte Natural Lip Stains ($24) are a take-off on the classic tarte Cheek Stains

Product Review: Olay In Shower Lotion

The dark days of Winter may soon be a thing of the past, but for those of us who struggle with chronically dry skin, the battle to stay moisturized lasts all year long.  I haven't mentioned this product previously, but  Olay In-Shower Body Lotion ($7) has become one of my go-to products for fighting body dryness.

When I first discovered it (via a suggestion from Jolie Nadine), it was seriously

Product Review : The Face Shop Cake Eyebrow

Today I decided to do a review for the product which I am using every single time when I do my make-up!

This review based absolutely on my personal opinion and nothing besides! I have no one pays for this blog-post, because I purchased the product on my own money. Why I do this review? Simple! Because I want to share with you my honest opinion about the product, which is really pay my attention. Also, I am not a professional make-up artist, if you only trust them, I can not help you here!

More information about this product and more of The Face Shop line check out http://www.thefaceshop.com/ on-line store. There is "english" button on upper right corner.



  What is this? The Face Shop Cake Eyebrow #01. Actually I have not seen anything except this shade only in my local The Face Shop store.



The Face Shop says: Concept : Powder type brow enhancer is ideal to create soft and natural brows which is the key to a polished-but-natural look. No more artificial-looking brows! Frame your brows with this easy-to-use brow compact. . Description : Strong lasting power from the "wax coating powder" and the "multi-complex powder."





It is a transparent plastic packaging, which you can watch through. It cames up with two different shades: darkest and lightest tones. Also this includes a small double-sided applicator. One of the side is a usual synthetic brush with a very nice hair. And another side with a tiny spooly brush. It is practical to use applicator, I can say. Because I use the spooly side every time I use the product and I prefer it more than the usual size eyebrow spooly brush. Just because I have very thin shape eyebrows and it is kinda very easy and accurate to use exactly this size of spooly brush to shape my eyebrows. But I do not use a brush side of the applicator, because I find it very harsh. Prefer using an angled The Face Shop brush.

It has two different shades. One of them more darkest and another one more lightest. I have pretty dark, almost black hair. You know the hair color of typical Korean woman lol: And both of these shades suits me perfectly well. For a usual everyday make-up, I simply apply one of these shades, but I notice that I mostly  use a dark shade for my eyebrows. And of course when my makeup looks very light, therefore I use a lighter shade of the kit for more natural look. And in case if I want my eyebrows looking very dark, such as go-out in the evening/night time, I first make the shape of my eyebrows with The Face Shop brown eyebrow pencil, and then set it with one of the shades, depending on the intensity of make-up. But the common words I want to say that both these shades will perfectly suit for Asian girls and just for those who have dark hair.

The texture of this eyebrow kit is very nice and smooth and has a good payoff. And just because it is Cake Eyebrow kit the texture is slightly different from the usual shadows, specially designed for use on eyebrows.

Anastacia says: I am not very familiar with eyebrow powders. And just because of that I do not what to compare with, but only with an eye shadows I used before I bought this eyebrow kit. To find absolutely right tone of usual eye shadow for use it on the eyebrows was kinda very difficult for me. Because it should not be a shimmery/frosty finish eye shadow, just absolutely matte natural looking shade, as well as it should not have a red undertone to it and a lot of other bla-bla-bla. So I went and bought this eyebrow kit which is not expensive at all. But I am very glad I made this purchase! Would I buy this product again? Of course I do! But I do not think that I may finish this eyebrow kit soon. There is a lot of product in it.

On this small Eotd picture I used only dark shade of the kit on my eyebrow.

I think it is all what I want to say about The Face Shop Cake Eyebrow #01 kit. But if you have any other questions just leave me in the comment section and I'll be replay to you as soon as it's possible.

Product Review : Skin Food White Grape Fresh Foundation

What is this? SKIN FOOD White Grape Foundation No.21 Beige Skin.

SKIN FOOD says: White grape extract helps keep your skin moist and juicy, the light and fresh foundation gives your skin a natural look. It is 30 ml product. Also cames up in 3 different shades No.13-Light; No.21- Beige and No.23-Natural Beige. For more information about this product and shipping check out the site http://www.theskinfood.com/

Anastacia says: I can't believe I do not remember the price for this foundation too because unfortunately I am always forget the cost of any products I bought (do I have a problem?). But I am sure it is under $15. First of all this Skin Food foundation do not brake out my skin! I think it's a lot of important factor especially for those who have sensitive skin type like me. Also this product comes up with a pump which is always convenient to use and hygienic foundation storage. I find the consistency of product absolutely un-heavy; not oily textured as well as with a nice smell. When using this product I do not have to correct the shine on my T-zone during whole day. The Face Shop Span Oil Control Pre Make Up and Skin Food White Grape Fresh Foundation works just amazing together! I swear, I can touch my face by the end of the day and there is no oily feeling at all! Right after applying this product on the face it is kind of you already set your foundation with a powder. Feels really good! I just need a very tiny amount of powder to set it. Because it is already matte finish foundation also without any sticky feelings.

I have a lot of acne scars on my skin and I need full coverage to my face, so this foundation is pretty buildable but I can not do my make-up without concealer. The texture of the foundation is pretty liquid but it still being buildable. Overall, I really do like this foundation so far! I am using it every single time I do my make up. The only cons of this product -  don't have SPF! So you have to use something else with SPF in it.

What is your HG foundation?

Thats all for today! If you have any other questions just let me know and I'll be respond to you as soon as I can.

Accept my Holiday greetings and best wishes for the New Year and Valentine's Day! I'll be MIA this weekend, so good luck to you all and be safe! Untill next week!

Product Review : The Face Shop Span Oil Control Pre Make Up

Please, do not forget to leave me a comment below! Which is your favorite make up base? Why? And how long do you using it?

This product review was requested by my dear friend Nehs for The Face Shop Span Oil Control Pre Make Up.

What is this? Oil control make up base/primer.

The Face Shop says: Consept : Inspired by water drops, this light weight base make up line is formulated with tropical fruits that prevents allergy and dryness. Description : Oil-controlling make-up primer that filles in big pores to prepare skin to be a perfect canvas for make up. 1. Trasparency (Clear) Gel Base. Suitable for any skin tone and all skin type. Shine-controlling, silky finish. 2. Silk Technology. Polysoft Complex instantly fills in enlarged pores (without clogging). Pore consealing.

Anastacia says: Since I purchased this product I am using it every single day to prime my face before start all make up application. In my previous haul update I have already talked about that I got this product free and that is why I can not say the exact price for The Face Shop Span Oil Control Pre Make Up. I also learned in my local The Face Shop store that this product is no longer producing any more here in Korea (do not know exactly how it work in other countries). Which is kind of Ok for me, because I am sure that there would appear anything in this similarity. It's not brake out my skin. I mean I always have on my face a few acnes or pimples and stuff like that and this primer does not make my face skin worse.

I am very weak to all the gelly and transparent textured products. This make up base is kind of gel consistency product too and also have a very light green undertone/tint to it. But as soon as the product applied evenly on the skin this light green shade is absolutely not visible at all. Look at the pictures, I did some swatches of this primer for you. On the first picture I just squeezed right amount of product from the tube to evenly apply all over the entire face mostly focusing on my nose and all T-zone area. Yes! You need just a very small amount of the make up base for the whole face application! And on second picture I evenly "blended" the product on my hand. By the way, this is tube type of product I find it is very hygienic to use and very practical to control amount of the desired product during the squeezing as well. So anyways, once I evely applied it on my skin it feels so silky and smooth. Simply superb canvas for starting apply foundation 'n stuff. The most important thing for me, it really makes my pores less noticeable. Believe me, I have used a lot of different make-up bases but none of those are not doing the job better that The Face Shop Span Oil Control Pre Make Up. I have a very visible large pores on all around my nose area and this base makes them less noticeable. Also controls appearance of oil for about 6-8 hours. Anyways, all over I really do like this product!!

Hope it helps for some of you! And if you have any other questions about this primer just let me know!
