OH!SHY Touch Like Moisture Layered Pact SPF30 #21 Bright Beige

So I first fell in love with Asian cosmetics and Skincare when the BB cream craze started a few years ago. I had immediately went on the BB cream bandwagon and to this day still love them.  I  love trying all different types of creams  and I would see BB packs and powders. That did what a BB cream would do. I found the coverage of the packs would vary. When I saw this layer pack from Mizon I thought I had to give this a try. It's supposed to go over BB cream or worn alone. It has a light sheen and it promises to not disrupt your BB or make you look caky. Just good looking skin, so I said why not and purchased this. 

The packaging is just like Benefit's Blush Box's!

I went for shade #21 which is the lightest. I'm about an NW15-20 in the Summer. When I went to swatch it, it matches my skin exactly. So showing a swatch will not be condusive, so I will just show what it looks like on me. The shade #21 Bright Beige is my exact match it also comes in #23 but like most BB's it has a limited shade range. For us pale girls this is a great product. Now let's check it out it's too cute!

 As you can see it comes with a wool bristled bush that is sooo soft. I use the brush and find it works very well with this Pact. For me the brush is the perfect applicator for this powder. Here's a shot of the brush you will see it's well made.

The best and cutest part to me is the powder itself!

As you can see this is one of the cutest pacts out there! It feels so soft to the touch and is matte with a very tiny sheen. That is perfect because you are matte but not flat;) I applied this alone to just primed skin. I used Lioele Pore Rich Balm to prime. Then I used this over the top with a touch of concealer. From what I have read the air light powder will help amino acids adhere to the skin. It also keeps moisture in your skin while leaving your complexion bright and healthy. Also it contains a SPF of 30 which is great for protecting the skin.

The coverage is around MAC's Studio Fix Powder. It totally evened out my skin tone and I only needed to conceal one hormonal spot. I purchased this on Ebay because it can be very expensive mine was $13.99 but it retails around $20.

This is excellent no makeup, makeup which, is one of my favorite looks. Here it is on me with my model Psylocke.

My Tonk photographs better lol;P But as you can see it looks super natural and will last all day with primer. I recommend this powder to those who want a good powder over there BB cream or wants light coverage. It cover's a multitude of sins but it is not full coverage. So be aware if you are looking for a full coverage powder this won't do the job. Skin79 Scandal BB Pact has more coverage for example. I am loving this powder and Mizon in general it's becoming one of my favorite brands. So most definitely check this out you will not be disappointed! 

What is your favorite BB pact? Inquiring hippies want to now your thoughts!

Till Next Time my Lovelies<3

Peace,Love,and Makeup!

Lioele Blooming Gloss in Vanilla Pink #05 and Lovely Twoway #010

I have a confession to make. I am a total lipgloss junky! I mean a really bad one, if you saw just what I keep in my bag alone it's really scary. For some reason though I love my glosses alone or over lippies. So when I came across these Lioele Blooming Glosses I was like oh yea the more the merrier. What I did not know was how fantastic these glosses are! Most people who do not like lip gloss don't because it either feels sticky or goopy. That is the #1 complaint that I see when I read reviews on glosses. See that never bother me because I always fall in love with some shimmery colour. Then I find another and my bag fills up;)

Well, when I came across these I thought they were just your standard run of the mill glosses. No! My lovely's these are better! First they are not sticky Yaaaayyyyyy. Seriously if you have long hair you know how your hair gets stuck in your gloss. Or they just feel yukky on your lips. Well, if you are a gloss hater I implore you to at lease give these a shot. The Blooming Glosses smell amazing like this fruity floral goodness. I'm telling you these are the best scented glosses I have ever come across. Also they remind me of MAC Creamsheen for way less moola! Ok enough talk let's look at these lip glosses! 

                                               Top: Lovely Twoway Bottom: Vanilla Pink

As you can see they are beautiful looking lippies! They are very sleek and contain a lot of product 4ml to be exact! They are very pleasing to the eye and something I will enjoy keeping in my bag.

The applicator is a doe foot which is my personal favorite.
                                          Top: Vanilla Pink                Bottom: Lovely Twoway

These go on super smooth and makes your lips feel so buttery! The scent is out of this world amazing I cannot say that enough. They have shimmer as you will see, but it is not glitter! It irks me to no end when shimmer haters say it is glitter!! That is so nit picky in my opinion when it comes to glosses. Its like don't buy shimmer if you don't like it. It is fairly simple really but hence we cannot please all.......rant over lol. Now Lovely Pink has an Opal like sheen to it. Whereas Lovely Twoway has a lot more shimmer leaning on the cool side of skin tones with a silver shimmer.

Here is the swatch of Vanilla Pink:

Now Lovely Twoway:

Are they not gorgeous or what!?!? They are some of the most beautiful glosses I have ever used! I wore Vanilla Pink all day and it does not dry your lips, or make them peel! Vanilla Pink goes amazingly well over MAC's Creme Cup too. So these work very well alone or over a lip stick. 

Lovely Twoway I have been rocking on its own but will be pairing it with a nice darker pink for Spring/Summer. These are great glosses for the upcoming warm months as pretty pink lips are always in style. Besides being pretty glosses they are supposed to help plump your lips. They also contain some lip goodness like helping to repair cells due to external stimulation. It also contains natural pigments, and polymers that help keep moisture in and dryness out. Pretty cool if you ask me.:)

Finally here's what they look like on me. I'm an NW15-20 maybe and I also have a very cool complexion for reference.

                                          Top: Lovely Twoway              Bottom: Vanilla Pink

As you can see they have high shine and give good colour payoff for a gloss! They last longer than most other brands as well. I can get at least 2 full hours out of these, which is great because less retouching is always a plus. These retail from as low as 8$ to as high as 13$ depending on where you shop. Costsell.com and LioeleTexas.com have the best prices and most amount of shades to choose from. Best part is both are located in the US! I also picked up a Blooming Tox Lip gloss which, is supposed to plump your lips so I will review that soon. Can you tell I love these lippies.;) What's your verdict? Love?Hate? Want or Not? Let me know. Till next time my lovely's!

Peace,Love, and Makeup!

Baviphat California Scandal Lip Primer

Now lip primers are something where I own a few like Too Face and OCC Lip Primer. Both never really worked very well. Also they are super expensive and for the money you should get some longevity with your lippie. Now here comes along Baviphat and their California Scandal Lip Primer where you get 15grams!!!!!! for around 7$. Now this is an awesome price so today I am testing this lip primer to see if it really works.

First let's take a look at this adorable product.

I love the Pinup girl! For once a primer that isn't in a tube and you apply like you would lip balm. You also get 15grams of product I just had to say that again:) Let's look at the primer itself and I will comment on application,feel,etc,.

It is pink but shows up clear on your lips. The texture is silky smooth and it makes your lips into a smooth canvass to apply your lip colour. I know with tins people will think that it can get germy. Just wash your hands before you apply or I just use my lips and rub them against the balm. Here are my lips with the primer on. As you can see you can't tell I'm wearing primer;)

My lips already have a pink hue to them but it does go on invisible! Also I let it sit a few minutes before I apply so it absorbs and my lips are ready for colour. Your lips feel silky smooth and it has no taste or weird smell. This helps to fill in lines and wrinkles it also smoothes out rough spots. I like to use ELF's Lip Exfoliator before for extra smoothness especially with really bright or, deeply pigmented colours. It also contains Ricinus Communis Oil or Castor Oil that helps protect your lips from chapping or flaking! So this is perfect for those really drying lip sticks you might have. 

Here is the colour I chose to test this with I picked a very drying Matte that I adore from Illamasqua. It's called Box named after there lovely head artist and my personal favorite Professional Makeup Artist Emma box.<3

I have worn this for a little over 2 hours and through eating and drinking the fade was very even as you will see. Also my lips still feel hydrated and the colour did not settle into my lip lines.

As you can see there was a little bit of feathering but this is a very finicky red. Usually when I wear this colour I use ELF's Lock and Seal to ensure that it doesn't do that. For a primer though I think it did an excellent job at holding this shade.

TheVerdict: It's super smooth and creamy and it really held on to my lipstick and this was a hard one to try for the review. More creamy colours and lighter ones will work very well with this primer. It kept my lips hydrated and they didn't feel dry you know the kind where you can't wait to put lip balm on your lips. No flaking or patchy colour either. I really like this primer and recommend it.
What's your favorite primer? Have you tried this one? What's your verdict? I'd luv to know until then my lovelies.:)

Peace,Love, and Makeup!

Baviphat Sugar Girl Jelly Eyeshadow in Pink Dia

Wow these are awesome they are just like Maybelline's Color Tattoo's but a little more shimmer. They make an amazing base as the colour is budge proof! Seriously from 7A.M. to 9P.M. as I write this this bad boy still looks great! For my eye look I used from LORAC's Pro Palette Champagne on the brow bone, Pink DIA on the rest of the lid and lined with Milani Ultra Fine Liquid liner in 04 Prismatic Purple which, is amazing by the way and doesn't budge either. It's like HG stuff seriously so check that out as well:) You will see in what I did I wanted to use as much as the Jelly Shadow as I possibly could on my lid to show you how it holds up. 

First let's take a look at the packaging and I will talk about texture,feel,wear,etc,.

As you can see it comes in a little shopping bag which is so darn cute. Hands down Korea and Baviphat are the best in terms of packaging! One thing in buying a product from Korea is aesthetically you will not be disappointed. I have never seen eye colour packaging in such a unique way. Here it the Eye Jelly out of the package.

The pot came sealed as well and retails on Ebay for around $3.89 with free shipping I have seen it as low as $1.89. Mine was with free shipping and I purchased mine from my favorite US Ebay seller. Now let's look at the product because it's such an awesome shadow.

Now this is a gorgeous pink shimmer. If you hate shimmer don't get this because it won't be for you. If you are like me and love shimmer or just want to do something out of your normal comfort zone these are great to try. The feel buttery soft not hard to the touch like Color Tattoo's but more of a silky gel like consistency. I applied with my finger because I tried brush after brush but they will not pick up this product. You can use a bush to blend it out though. Here's a swatch it's very hard to capture the true beauty of this shade but, I tried my best for ya;)

As you can see it has a lot of shimmer and it spreads very easily and doesn't tug on the eye when you apply it. The soft consistency feels really nice and the wear as I said is fantastic! Here's my eyes at the end of the day.

As you can see this product did not budge but, it washes off easily with my Mizon foam cleanser. This would also make a great base to use with other shadows as well. I plan on trying it with my Naked3. 

Bottom line: This is a great product with excellent colour pigment, and wear. It goes on buttery soft and it will last for the whole day so, no worries if you apply in the morning you'll still look great later. Also very important this did NOT crease! That is my #1 issue with shadows for me is creasing. A thin layer is all you need for creaseless wear that lasts. So this is a winner from Baviphat in my opinion and I absolutely will be checking out more colours from the Eye Jelly collection.
Other shades are White,Black,Blue, and Gold Dia. This is a product worth checking out and get's some love from The Hot Hippie<3. What's your opinion do you like it? I'd love to know! Till next time my pretties:)

Peace,Love, and Makeup!

Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Liquid and Cream

I love skincare in fact I'm going to school to become an Esthetician. We use Dermalogica in my school but for me personally and my sensitive yet, combo skin. This serum and cream from Dr. Jart+ is amazing! How do you know it's for you? Well do you get very dry skin? Do most creams and serums burn your sensitive skin on application? Do you want to repair the skin barrier,even redness, and calm your skin? If so these products are for you.:)

Dr. Jart+ amazes me as he really came out with a gem of a product. I first came across this when I got a deluxe Save My Skin kit from Sephora. Well after a couple uses I was in love. I have read in Asian skincare that taking care of your skin is super important and what I love is the layering of products. Basically you start with the lightest products first then you add heavier products. Example being you start with your eye cream,toner,emulsion, serum,ampule which is a potent serum, then moisturizer, and even add a sleeping pack. You would also use the lightest products first like water soluble to oils.

When I found this product and loved it I knew I had to have this for my skin. I pulled the trigger and ordered them from Sephora and I will never go without this product. It has been a cold weather lifesaver! What are Ceramides?

Ceramides are a lipid molecule that are found in the cell membrane so this is beauty that goes skin deep. They make up a large part of the Epidermis. Together with other fatty molecules ceramides helps to protect the skin barrier. Dr. Jart+ being the gem he is utilized this science and now it is a blessing for us sensitive skin gals. Or if you use Retinoids or Retin A Micro in my case it cuts down on the dryness you experience like you would not believe.

I have been using this for months before I started this blog so you will see these are used and well loved. Here's the Serum.

I apply 4 drops of the serum and I pat it in. I find the patting works best and most people who use products in Asian and Europe pat in their products for better absorption. Here's what the serum or liquid looks like.

It's very liquidy and you only need the smallest drop. Spread all over and pat in. It absorbs very quickly.

Now with the cream you only need a dab the size of a soybean;) Both products smell amazing very fresh, light, and herbal in a very pleasant way.

My well loved cream as you can see. Here's what it looks like.

Like the serum it absorbs very quickly.

The verdict: These are 2 of the best products I have ever used. It's Winter here on Long Island and with the cold weather this has been amazing because I can still use my RAM without fear of soooo many dry spots. Plus if you have dry patches it get's rid of them pretty quickly. Also if your pale like me and turn red just by being touched you will love how it evens out your skin tone. 

Remember it does have AHA in it so always wear sunblock! 

Where to purchase: If you want to get your hands on these little gems Sephora carries it. On Ebay you can get it cheaper but it ships from South Korea so it's really up to you. If you are a sensitive skinned girl who doesn't want to break out then this product is for you. I would definitely go with a deluxe sample before you commit. Though if you just take the plunge and get it, it's one of those you really can't go wrong skincare items.

This retails for around 39$ for the Serum and 48$ for the cream. Both really go well together so I do recommend you get both for best results. Lovely product thank you for this product Dr.Jart+!!!

Till next time! Peace,Love, and Makeup!

Holika Holika Strawberry Pore Cover

Primers now a days they seem a must have before your Base or BB Cream. For me personally I use a primer almost always. If I forget I'm like Noooo and almost want to take whatever I have on off to "feel complete". In Asian culture I am assuming and from what I have read the dreaded "Strawberry nose" is not a cool thing. It's blackheads in your nose that make it look like a strawberry. As lovely as a strawberry is if your nose looks like it, I don't think it's a very good look.
So the lovely's at Holika Holika created Strawberry Pore Cover which is supposed to mask this problem.

Check it out! Very cute but little packaging.

The directions were seriously hard to focus on because they are so small. Or I am getting older Shhhh;) Here is the actual product.

You get 10 grams for around $10.99 US dollars I have seen it higher though. I purchased mine through Ebay but you have to know your sellers. I will write an Ebay buyers guide one of these days those of you interested in purchasing Korean Cosmetics and Skincare. I think it's important to know how to not get burned.

Here's what the product looks like. 

 You literally only need the smallest bit applied to your T-Zone. I only applied it where I get oily. It doesn't smell like strawberries either. One blogger thought it smelled like a perfume I wouldn't go that far but it smells really good! It smells good enough for me to check out some other products in this line though. I have always liked the smell of Asian cosmetics and skincare they smell very fresh and clean.

Does it cover pores? Um well I have very small pores because I am a peel freak yes, I like doing facials so I throw in a peel 1x a week to keep my pores utterly fresh and clean. It did blur them enough where if I didn't wear a base I would use this and some concealer or powder. I didn't get oily at all today. 

My skin remained very matte no forehead shine like some of us dread. This is a great primer it won't blur a "strawberry nose" per se but it will keep your makeup on and you won't get oily. So give this a try I can't say anything negative about it and since I buy products myself I will tell you if it sux. So no worries I will always share the truth because well  I'm just a honest person.:x

What do you think of this product. Has it worked for you? Please share your experience and comments.

Till Nextime!

Peace,Love, and Makeup:)
