Hello everyone~~!
![]() Today, I will review an eyeshadow from MAC in shade #Expensive Pink! This is my first MAC eyeshadow ever and you probably already saw this eyeshadow in my haul post~ I only bought it because I felt like spoiling myself and I always wanted to have a MAC eyeshadow haha. I wasn't sure wether to get expensive pink, soft brown or soba but I decided to go for this because it reminded me a little of the NARS Orgasm Blush and I still wasn't sure if I should invest that much money in a basic matte brown eyeshadow (maybe next time !!). MAC Eyeshadow in Expensive Pink - A highly pigmented powder that applies evenly and blends well. Price: 19€ (16$ in the US) Ingredients: Talc, Zinc Stearate, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Isostearyl Neopentanoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol,Phenoxyethanol, Silica, Mica,Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Bismuth Oxychloride, Carmine, Chromium Hydroxide Green,Chromium Oxide Greens, Ferric Ferrocyanide, Manganese Violet, Red 40 Al Lake, Ultramarines, Yellow 5 Al Lake, Blue 1 Lake 1.3 g / 0.04 US oz Available in 120 shades!
Packaging
MAC Expensive Pink (Veluxe Pearl)
The eyeshadow pot looks pretty sturdy and easy to carry around because it's really small. Like mentioned above, the shade expensive pink has this really nice golden shimmer? which reminds me of the well known 'Orgasm' Blusher from Nars ^-^ ♥ I think this colour looks soo pretty and would be perfect for spring or even for a daily and glamorous makeup look ~
Here are some swatches (no primer)
MAC Expensive Pink on my eyes (no primer) It was extremely hard to catch the real eyeshadow color on my eyes but this is the closest I could get to >.< It looks a little more peachy gold in person and the small gold shimmer particles are more obvious too~! One thing I noticed is that it starts to crease into my fine wrinkles after 2 hours (no primer). It's not that obvious after 2 hours but if you look reaaally closely you will be able to see that it has creased >.< I'm super disappointed because it was an expensive eyeshadow and I think that I can expect it to stay on my lids for at least 3 to 4 hours with no primer! There are many cheap eyeshadows that stay longer on my lids than this one! I'm not sure if its the same with the other eyeshadows from MAC. However, it does stay on my lids almost all day if I use a primer but it seems to faint into a really sheer gold shade at the end of the day. The pigmentation is really, REALLY good and I love how this colour looks on my eyes! It looks really fresh and exotic haha.
What I like about it
![]()
- pigmentation
- gold shimmers ♥
- buildable colour
- easy to blend
- huge variety of shades (120 shades!)
- small packaging (easy to carry around)
What I don't like about it
![]()
- creases if you don't use an eyeshadow primer
- expensive
- not a lot of product (1.3g for 19€)
Overall Rating:
I like MAC eyeshadows so far and would repurchase a few more in another colour (soft brown, soba, honeylust *-*). The pigmentation is great, I love the huge variety of colours they have and I think they're great for beginners!![]() However, If you don't have a lot of money and would need to save up to get it.... just go with a another brand.. To be honest, There are many eyeshadows for a more affordable price and you really don't need to pay like 10$ more for an eyeshadows that is a littleeee bit better than cheap ones (just my two cents). Go for these if you have enough money, want to get a colour thats hard to find or want to spoil yourself with more expensive makeup~~! Please follow me on my beauty instagram @shyalpaca ♥

Hello everyone!
![]() So I haven't posted anything for a while and as always I'm really sorry about not being active ^^; School was pretty stressful for me for the last couple of months because I'm in my final school year and I was writing all of my 2-6 hour exams. However, I'm super excited to be posting today! I was also thinking about making a post about my favourite products of 2015 because I saw many blogger and also youtubers doing blog posts/videos about it last year. Let me know if you would be interested in these kind of things! But let's start with the review! I got this eyeshadow palette (MUA Undressed) from my blogger friend Emily! I do think that you can get it online too but it will be a little more expensive than if you get it in England. As far as I know, this eyeshadow palette costs 4£ and you can get it in any store that sells cosmetics. I really wanted to get this palette because I heard great things about it and it's also well known as Naked 1 dupe. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the Naked palettes from Urban Decay because most shades look too metallic and they're just not my style but I wanted to try it nevertheless. The packaging is pretty simple. A sponge brush is included in this eyeshadow palette but I forgot to take close shots of it. You can see the brush in the next photo though ;-; Most colours look really similar to the Urban Decay Naked palette in my opinion but I don't own the original eyeshadow palette to be able to compare them in any way. I can only judge based on online swatches~^^ Based on that I would say that the two gold tones Lion and Bronze Ore (Half baked & Smog) look a little different and also Rose Ash (Sin) and Gild (Sidecar).
Swatches, no primer (name of shades on photo above)
As you can see, they'e pretty pigmented and look very stunning imo!! (Keep in mind that I didn't use any primer and only 1-2 swipes) My favourite shades in this palette are Fawn (first row, no.3), Tawny (second row, no.3) and Gild (first row, no.4)! I absolutely love mixing Fawn and Gild together to get a little glitter into Fawn ♥The two lightest shades (Puff and Rose Ash) are not as pigmented as the other shades! And also I think that Fuel and Cool Grey are a little dry compared to the other shades and also not as dark as you might expect at first. There are some fallouts but to be honest I don't even mind it because some glitter around your eyes make them look even cuter imho
Here are some eye makeup looks I did with only using eyeshadows of this palette!
(no primer)
left (Fawn, Rose Ash, Tawny) || right (Fawn, Cool Grey, Fuel)
What I like about it
![]() - pretty shades - pigmented (most of them) - price (4£)
- almost identical to the naked 1 palette
- texture - sponge brush included in palette What I don't like about it ![]()
- pigmentation of Puff
- texture of Fuel and Cool Grey - glitter fall outs
- some shades look almost the same on your eyelid
- packaging gets dirty easily
Recommended?: I would definitely recommend it to friends who like the Naked palette but don't have enough money to buy the original one. I mean 12 eyeshadows for only like 6usd and most of them look almost identical! I wouldn't recommend it to people that were going to buy it because of the lightest shade (Puff aka Virgin) or the two dark blue shades (Fuel aka Creep/ Cool Grey aka Gunmetal).
The next post is probably going to be a small review from a website with cute things or maybe I'm going to post some reviews of my current favourites hehe~! Please look forward to them! ♥

Hello everyone!
![]() Todays review is about the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Bourbon! It's already been a while since I have bought this eyeliner in Italy. I just wanted to make sure that I could test it for a while before writing a review about it. I choose the colour Bourbon because it looked really pretty and glittery in the store and I liked it way more than other brown shades they got there. Price: 19.00€ / 20.00$ Fill Weight: 1.2g e 0.04 US oz. Available in 40 shades Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Synthetic Wax, Polybutene, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil, Ceresin, Ozokerite, Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax), Tocopherol, Polyurethane-11, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Phenoxyethanol. May Contain: CI 77019 (Mica), CI 77491/77492/77499 (Iron Oxides), CI 77891 (Titanium Dixoide), CI 75470 (Carmine), CI 77000 (Aluminum Powder).
Packaging ♥
"The best eye pencil in the industry! These cushiony, creamy pencils glide on soft, yet deliver extra-long wear and waterproof color in a dizzying array of shades.!
Shade #Bourbon
There's no sharpener included so you have to get one seperately. The texture is reaaally creamy and it's really easy to apply. But you will have to waste a lot of product because you need to sharpen it very often because of the soft and really creamy texture.
Swatches ♥
I don't recommend using this eyeliner when wearing contact lenses or if you have very sensitive eyes because it contains glitters and they might irritate your eyes!! I did a smudge test to see how much it would smudge when you rub it 10 times with dry fingers. You can't see on the photo because I rubbed it too often but the first time you rub it it smudges a lot! I definitely think it isn't smudgeproof at all. I'm not sure about other shades but I'm somewhat disappointed in this one because I thought it wouldn't smudge that much because it was expensive and everyone was raving about it .. ;-; Tbh it has the lasting power of a cheap 5$ eyeliner omg.
Things I like about it
![]()
- Colour
- wide colour range
- glitters
- creamy texture
- easy to apply
Things I don't like about it
![]()
- not water- or smudgeproof
- glitter fallouts
- price (19.00€)
- not for contact lens wearers or people with sensitive eyes
- need to sharpen it often (waste of product)
Recommended?: No, I don't recommend it. Although I seriously love the color and the glitters in it I wouldn't repurchase it because it's way to expensive and it smudges a lot on my eyelids (I have oily eyelids btw!). I think you can get a better eyeliner for 19€ / 20$ ! For example the dolly wink eyeliner or even the maybelline gel eyeliners are way better!

Hello everyone! Read more »![]() I'm finally back to blogging and today I'm going to review the Etude House Look At My Eyes Jewel eyeshadows in shade #OR206 and #BR403. I decided to buy these eyeshadows because they looked the most wearable and natural to me when I swatched eyeshadows in the Etude House store. They were also pretty affordable with USD$5.50 for one and the other collection (Cafe and Matte) are even cheaper with only like USD$3.50. If you're interested you can get them on the Global Etude House website or on ebay. It's cheaper on ebay if you include shipping costs in your calculation lol. The Etude House Look At My Eyes Jewel eyeshadow collection has 18 colours to chose from and they're obviously all glittery, some more and some less. Obviously it is suppose to give you glittering and sparkling eyes! *-*
Here are some photos of the packaging

Hello everyone!
![]() Today I will review the The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer in shade #2 Rich Beige~♥ You can get this concealer on beautynetkorea.com or on ebay. I bought it on ebay for about USD$6 with free shipping. I really wanted to try out this concealer because Sunny Dahye on Youtube mentioned it in one of her videos and said that its super nice so I really had to get it haha. ((Her channel is one of my favorite youtube channels)). She's really cute ♥ So the The Saem Perfect Cover Tip Concealer is suppose to: - give radiance and brightness to your skin - cover freckles, pores, blemishes and dark circles - fits perfectly and feels thin and smooth on the skin - long-lasting - moisturizing - SPF28 / PA++ It is available in 3 different shades #1 Clear Beige (light), #1.5 Natural Beige (medium) and #2 Rich Beige. I got shade #2 in Rich Beige because Sunny Dahye said that shade #1 Clear beige is really light and she got shade #2 as well. I also bought this when shade #1.5 Natural Beige wasn't out yet. I wish I would have bought the light shade though because the shade I bought (Rich Beige) is way too dark for me ㅠㅠ But let's move on to the review~! ♥
So there's nothing really important on the back of the concealer packaging. It's just brand name (The Saem), Product name (Cover Perfection Tip Concealer) and a telephone number and production information.
The product is small and quite travel-friendly. I personally really like the packaging because it's simple but some people might not like it because it's not one of these princessy and cute packagings. The Saem isn't known for cute product packagings anways~
This is the swatch for big and red pimples. You can see that it covers them really well and you can't see them at all! I'm pretty impressed of this concealer in terms of inflammed pimples!!
Here are a few more swatches to show the coverage of freckles and scars. I drew 2 lines with markers: one in red and the other one in black. After that I tapped a little concealer onto them.

I think that this tip concealer does cover scars and freckles a little but they're not completely covered. It does cover light scars and freckles but it won't work well for dark scars and dark freckles. I feel like this concealer is only good for inflammed pimples and dark circles (I only use it for these two purposes).
It does brighten up your skin when you use it for your dark circles and blemishes but if you use too much and layer it many times it will look really cakey and disgusting. It also higlights dry skin and creases after some time if you don't settle it with powder. Even though it highlights dry skin I feel like it is kind of moisturizing on pimples (which is weird).
I must admit that it feels lightweight (if you don't apply to much) and smooth on the skin. Staying power is about 3-4 hours if you don't touch your face and even longer if you use powder.
Recommended?: Yes, I like this concealer a lot even though it highlights dry skin and doesn't cover freckles or dark scars. I don't have that problem with dry skin anyway. I would recommend this to people with combination skin because it goes very well with my skin! I wouldn't recommend it to dry skinned people and oily people because the staying power wouldn't be that good on oily skin. This concealer is nice for covering rednesses and for dark circles imo~

Hello, as promised there will be a new post today! This review will be about the False Half Length Eyelashes #HW-D from Born Pretty Store. You can get a box with 5 pairs of false lashes for USD$5.99. They sell soo many different false eyelashes ranging from natural to gyaru style. It's definitely worth checking this website out! (For nail polish and jewelry as well) The jewelry is the cutest thing ever I already own alot of pieces from them lol (can't resist cute jewelry QwQ). At the end I will post a code so you can get 10% off at your total order~ I always wanted to try half length eyelashes because I thought that they'd look pretty and a tad more natural than normal false eyelashes. On Ulzzangtv I always see ulzzangs wearing them too and they looked super pretty and feminime with half length lashes qwq (Guess I was hoping too look as cute as them bwahah) Honestly, the shipping took a long time, around 3-4 weeks to arrive here. I remember that it doesn't take this long before so I was so excited and couldn't wait to try them out when they finally arrived (I even skipped lunch to try them out lol). Wow I noticed that I should stop blabbering all the time and show you these damn lashes haha Btw, click on my new music player in the sidebar box 'ABOUT' Product information direct link #ID:14116 Price: USD$ 5.99 Material: Artificial Fiber Quantity: 5 Pairs/Box Color: Black Width: 1.8cm Length: 0.8-1.0cm
Introduction from Born Pretty Store:
Popular, high-quality, and soft handmade false eyelashesEasy to use,it will look real and natural With the natural false eyelashes your eyes will look bright and charming
There are 5 pairs in this plastic box. The packaging is soo adorable. I love the anime girl at the front and it's was honestly the reason why I wanted to try out these lashes lol. They do not come with a glue so you need to buy one.
The half lashes look pretty good imo and the quality is good too. The stem of the lashes is transparent but it's visible on the eyelid and you definitely need to go over them with an eyeliner afterwards because otherwise it will be pretty obvious you're wearing false lashes and that's just awkward irl lol.
These lashes are pretty long imo and they're becoming longer at the outer end but they're also kinda thinned out. They have this slight curl at the end but it's only noticeable when wearing them. You can check out how they look when worn below!
I think these lashes look really pretty close up but you can see bad quality on a few of these lashes (maybe 1 or max. 2 in this box), like the transparent stem being a bit meeeh but otherwise they're pretty and I really love them. They're easy to apply with the right glue but I sometimes have trouble making the end and the beginning of these lashes stick on my lids and they will come off a little ;__; (I think that's my fault though my glue just sucks lol)
These lashes feel quite lightweight while wearing them. The other lashes I reviewed from Born Pretty Store felt a bit heavyand not as lightweight as this pair it's probably because they're only half length of normal false eyelashes lol (oviously) The review of the other lashes can be found here.
I'm not that good at putting on false lashes so please bare with me haha I'm still practising but I feel like I'm getting better >.<;; I think you don't even need to wear a lot of make up to pull off these lashes they're pretty nice with natural make up as well imo. I think the slight curl at the end of these lashes is just really cute too qwq
Even though the stem is transparent you can still see it a lot and need to line your eyes after it, it's actually harder for me to hide the transparent stem than normal black ones because it's really hard to make a straight and thin eyeliner line with these lashes on (unless you want to make a thick eyeliner line) OTL. Also these lashes look kinda 'plastic' and super shiny when in direct sunlight so you better stay away from the sun when wearing these lol
I've already used the same pair of lashes for more than 3 times and they're still pretty good. I usually tend to wear the same pair of lashes until they falls apart because I don't want to waste too many false lashes lol *facepalm*. I think I can use them up to 5 times until I need to throw that pair away so the durability is quite good and I'm more than pleased with it haha. *Don't need to buy a new package soon*
☆ Price ☆ Packaging ☆ Natural looking (compared to other lashes) ☆ Durability, can be used up to 3 times or more ☆ Lightweight
☆ Look fake in direct sunlight
☆ A few lashes were a bit bent
☆ Transparent stem was still visible
☆ No glue included I strongly recommend these lashes to girls who want more natural false eyelashes for ulzzang or natural look. I could imagine people wearing these lashes in public (and not just for photos) because they're a lot more natural than other lashes I've tried on Born Pretty Store, honestly, they're pretty wearable in public it's just that I'm not brave enough to leave my house with much make up lol. I never wear more than BB cream and thin eyeliner ^^;;; I think they would be perfect for smokey eyes look as well. 100% recommend for natural and smokey eyes look! Repurchase?: Probably not, because I already own them lol but probably other half lashes from Born Pretty Store. I think they're pretty much worth it the price and I like them more than normal false eyelashes because they look way more natural and I could imagine myself wearing them too conventions sometimes, too. I'm totally into these half false eyelashes now and want to try maaany more until I find the perfect one. I know I didn't post a selca in this post, please tell me if you'd like to see more photos of these lashes, I will try to take more photos! I just haven't had enough time to take many photos, I'm so sorry ㅠ.ㅜ Store Rating ![]() I'm not just saying this because they sponsor me but I really like their store and the owner Daisy Lee! She is one of the nicest store owners I have ever talked to! She's super friendly and replies in 1-2 days. Her english is good too and she talks to me like I would be a friend other than a sponsorship partner but she's still polite and not rude or too casual at all, I really like that haha. The store sells a lot of good stuff too, especially jewelry! I can't stress about it enough times they're jewelry is just awesome and affordable, you should seriously give it a look. Click here to check it out! The only thing that wasn't that great and awesome was the shipping because it took such a long time to arrive, I think around a month ㅠㅠ That's a bit longer than usually and that's the only reason I couldn't give them perfect score but the shipping is free worldwide after all ahahah Daisy was nice enough to give me a coupon code for my readers, Thanks ♥♥♥
Here's the 10% off code as promised. Don't forget to use it to save a bit money lol
(Click on banner to get to store)
You will get 10% off on your whole order when using the code UNL91 at checkout.
