Holika Holika Midnight Owl Blush in Shy Owl

Hi all welcome to my 1st product review! My name is Danielle and I have found in my love of all Asian cosmetics and skincare that there were not a lot of reviews, or reviews in English. My love of these products started with the BB cream breakthrough which, here in the US still does not measure up to Korean BB standards. So hence this Blog The Hot Hippie has come to be. I'm under construction but this will look a lot better soon.

For now please enjoy my review on Holika Holika's Midnight Owl Blush in Shy.

Holika Holika is a Korean company based on fantasy. They use witches and spooky themes for their cosmetics and skincare. When I saw this blush on Ebay I had to have it. Every product I review is purchased with my own money. Just want you all to know that.:)

Now let's take a look at this Gorgeous Blush.




I will be using a better camera soon but for now look how cute this blush is. It has sparkles all over the top but they go away after a few swipes to reveal a beautiful shimmer not sparkley just a light shimmer. So no worries about glitter all you who dislike a lot of sparkles because it's not like that at all.

Here's the 1st swatch so you can see the sparkle.



You can see it's very shimmery but have no fear it comes off. Here's a shot with the colour and the shimmer before it was all off of the blush.



You can see there is a beautiful pink flush like colour under all those sparkles. Here is the final swatch of the shades and how it will really appear when you wear it.



As you can see it's a beautiful pink flush that looks amazing on the skin. It does have a slight sheen but for me it makes my pale NW20 and below skin look amazing and healthy. It comes out way too pink for highlighting but Holika Holika does have a Midnight Owl highlighter as well.

The verdict: Besides it being one of the cutest blushes I have ever owned it is a good one. It has Evening Primrose to keep the skin hydrated and the blush on me lasted all day so, wear is really good. My mom remarked at how nice it looked and she's super critical so I was happy to hear that;) lol
It is a well made blush that is super buttery to the touch. I will get some swatches of the colours up with my camera soon. I had to share this so forgive me as this is my very 1st blog post and things will get more groovy in time. So I hope you all will hang in because I'm so excited for the future!

You can get this on many websites such as Pretty and Cute, Ebay,Korean Depot, and I think SasaSasa. It retails for around 22.99$ US dollars. I have seen it go for as much as 35$ so do your research if you want to purchase this. In Korea it is around 22$ US dollars so if your in Korea you will get it for the price I paid so definitely shop around.


I mean c'mon how can you not like this:)




I will post pics of it on my pale self today so hang in if you want to see what it looks like on me. Thank you all so much for reading this blog! I'm excited to see where this goes and to share my love of these products with you all. More stuff coming up from Lioele and Baviphat:)

Here is the blush on me. It applies very easily and is very pigmented so you only need a few swipes. Very buildable colour:) What do you think? Do you love it? Hate it? Please share your thoughts.
