Hellooo everyone!

So how have you all been doing? It's been a while since my last post and I want to apologize for not posting regulary but today I want to share some great news with you!

I'm officially a Pink Bird member from Etude House! YES *screams*

I always wanted to be one and I feel so honoured and excited about it ahhh I can't believe it and I still feel so overly lucky haha. It has been one of my biggest blogger dreams for years!
From now on, I will receive a Pink Bird Box filled with the newest makeup collections from Etude House every month. This sponsorship will last for the next 6 months which means that I'll be able to review 6 boxes in total ♥

Today I will show you the Pink Bird Box they sent me for this month (january)!

The hand mirror and the small hand towel are so adorable and they're from ETUDE HOUSE ahhh ♥ I'm not sure if you can get them somewhere online because I couldn't find them on their website




The packaging is very simple but cute in my opinion. I love the cute design! You don't have to push a button to open the cushion but just need to pull it open. I'm honestly not a big fan of this new feature because I feel like its easier to drop this cushion while trying to open it that way~


This is what the Any Cushion looks like opened. There's a small mirror on the lid and you'll get a little sponge pad, this makes it very, very travel-friendly and easy to carry around~ click on the photo if you want to zoom and read the description


These little notes basically tell you to throw away that sticker after opening it for the first time and to close the lid tightly after every use so your cushion won't dry out.


The sponge is blue from the other side and absorbs the base quite well. You can spread out the base more evenly with it and pad it into your skin~

The black line is suppose to represent dark spots and the red line is suppose to represent rednesses.
As you can see, the coverage doesn't seem to be too good and I'd say that it's very, very light coverage! The brightening effect on my face is incredible though. I don't know if this color corrector is just not suited for my skin shade but it seems to lighten up my face instantly and I look very pale (too pale for my taste..for reference - I'm a NC20/25). However, because of it's brightening effect it's very good for hiding my dark circles! Keep in mind that it doesn't cover dark spots though. I think this cushion can be worn alone on a lazy makeup day, just be careful not to go overboard and put on too much of it, otherwise it would be very obvious that you're wearing some kind of color correction makeup on your face!

If you're going to put BB cream on top it's better to only use this cushion on your under eye area or spots that need some brightening or highlight because it accentuates dry patches and tends to look very cakey if you're layering some BB cream on top! (My brother told me I look like a caked up geisha when I did lmao).






You're suppose to use this BB Cream as second step after the Any Cushion Color Corrector but as I said above, it tends to look a little cakey if you layer up too much of both, so be careful! ^^;;;~

You can get this BB cream in : vanilla, petal, beige, sand and tan! I asked Etude House to help me pick a shade and they send me the beige one



The tube contains 45g and is very, very slim! I'm constantly scared of it dropping down lol. The color of the packaging is seriously super cute! If you want to read the details on the packaging, click on this photo on zoom~! Sorry for the lighting of these photos, they turned out a little blue :-(







The consistency is a little thicker than other BB creams imo but it doesn't feel heavy on your skin. The coverage isn't too good but it's just like with any other BB cream. It will cover some very light hyperpigmentations and even out your skin tone but nothing too dramatic, imo. The BB Cream itself is very brightening! It also contains some sun protection (SPF50+ PA++) so you technically don't need to wear sunscreen but just like with the any cushion I'd still like to recommend to wear some sunscreen underneath.
You can't see it well on my swatches but if you use them both together, your complexion is more bright and you look less tired. Eventhough it's the moist version it does highlight dry patches and can tend to look cakey if you go overboard and apply a second or third layer! I usually don't have any problems with dry skin but it did look patchy and like the BB Cream dried into my dry skin patches on my cheeks because of the cold weather these days.

The Any Cushion and the Precious Mineral BB Cream smell flowery and quite pleasant. I honestly don't think the finish is dewy, like you would expect from the 'moist' part in it but it's more on the satin/matte side and look quite natural if you blend it in well.








The packaging is so cute and I love the colors they picked for me! They even asked me what my birthday is before they sent off the box and gave me the matching eyeshadow! *^*



 RD304 순정파  요조숙녀: This shade looks like a dark raspberry shade in the pan but once you apply it on your eyes it looks super sheer and super glittery and more like strawberry pink shade. The glitter particles are all in different sizes, there are small and chunky ones but super pretty indoors because the glittery particles reflect the light and sparkle so prettily! *-* I think this shade is suited for every season and can look good all over the eye or as accent point! So far, I didn't notice any heavy fallouts if you use a primer.

BR428 사랑은 짠내나 게: This shade is a basic golden/bronze shade. It's very versatile and can be used in many makeup looks. It doesn't crease and stays on your lid for quite some time if you use a primer! It didn't start to crease on my eyes for the whole day but the color seemed to have faded. It does sparkle a little in indoor lighting because it contains some small shimmer particles. This shade is easy to blend and can be used all over your lid imo too (I'm using it like that hehe).


I tried to make an eye makeup look with just those two eyeshadows but it was so hard because none of them are dark enough to create some depth or make something fancy T_T but here it is:

 I tried XD~ I put the brown eyeshadow all over my lid and the pink one on the outer v to give it
some color haha. It looks like I'm not wearing any eyeshadow at all xD
