COLORS
Apieu has 5 colors
Today's review color is PK01

Today Reviews is second color here Lady at Play 

For color variations Mac Wins!

Amount 
Mac has 3.8g and Apieu has 4.5g
Prices
MAC US$32 and Apieu US$8.5  

TEXTURE AND SWATCHES

MAC and APIEU
Overall I think MAC is much more glossy closer to lipgloss than Apieu
both have the texture of a lip blam, but MAC does feel bit more moist
They both last about the same
I think the difference comes to pigment
The gloss in MAC does weaken the pigment VERY little
Apieu is more balm like and has stronger pigment

Overall it's hard to tell which is better
I guess it comes down to if you like something with various colors
or something cheaper

What do you choose?

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish VS innisfree Mineral Rose Marbling Brighener

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish VS innisfree Mineral Rose Marbling Brighener


These are the two top popular blusher in Korea
I decided to take time to compare these two


MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Soft and Gentle VS 
innisfree Mineral Rose Marbling Brightener #2


If you look close they don't have divided colors so you'll have use a brush to apply.
Both don't have brush within the products so you gotta get your own!

TEXTURE
LOVE MAC texture, so so soft! XD
Innisfree does have soft texture too but it more harder
Both are powder type

SWATCHES
I tried to choose the most similar lighting as possible,
and here the picture, strangely my skin so dark on the second picture
I went "My skin has rotten what happened!"
anyways but it shows the highlighter so well, I had to choose this
LEFT : MAC / RIGHT : Innisfree

PIGMENT
I love the MAC's strong pigment
I did many layer to get the innisfree that much color
innisfree has much more softer color
MAC strong pigment might be hard if you are new to highlighting.
You might go, AH TOO MUCH if you are not careful
But with innisfree no worries about over doing it.
It's would be hard to feel over done with innisfree

They both has a very beautiful shimmer
The soft colors might to useful for eyes hadows too

Both are mineral ingredients so they both helps your skin looks healthy with the pearls
and do cover up your pores looking too large.
Innisfree made them much more healthier for your skin, so it was made less irritating for the skin. that's a point to innisfree!

I noticed little to no fallout with both product.



Prices
MAC : 10g / 42000won INNISFREE : 6g / 10,000
Yikes the cost cost 4 time more if you go with MAC

OVERALL OPINION

They are very similar in many ways.

Both have nice shimmer and both mineral type so very beautiful
innisfree is much more closer to healthy product than MAC
though I personally don't feel big difference.
Both has little fallout

Few difference is
Mac has stronger pigment
innisfree has very soft pigment
I guess which is better goes to your personal preference
The biggest difference is probably the price 
MAC : 4200won/1g, INNISFREE :  1666won/1g

What Product is Your Choice? Let me know on the comment below~

Get it Beauty Make up Wake Up Chic Charisma & Proud Lovely Heiress Makeup

I do love Get it Beauty Makeup Tips and Tutorial,
It really helped me do better makeup and different type of makeup with just the products I have.

Do check out the video and the link below to check out the videos

Most of you have come to this post to get information about the products they used. I'll also simplify the overall makeup tutorial for you to understand. :)

EYE MAKEUP BASE
Step 1
Color the eye lid just about 1/3~1/2
It's okay if it kinda get out of the line
You can simply use the brush to blend it back to make the tail
Product Used : innisfree shadow pencil #10
This product have very little fall outs, and has about 10 different colors
It's nice to use this, but because its thick you can't use the product to draw a line
For eye line use a tip brush

Step 2~ Step 3
Color brown shadow on top of the black shadow
The reason for this step is that
Just gray and black can be easily look dirty or look nothing more than
smoky makeup. To give bit more softness and luxurious the soft brand
makes it so much easier to use.
After you finish the eye base use curler to curl up the eyelashes
This can help dust off the shadow that got on the eyelashes.
Product Used : MAC mega Metal shadow


Step 5~ Step 6
Next is the eyeliner
You use Gel Eyeliner to draw the line,
When you do remember to draw it all the way to the end of the eye shadow tail
After that remember to use the same brown eye shadow on top of the eye line
to soften up the line to make it look natural.
Product Used : Maybelline Ge Liner

Step 7 ~ Step 8
Use the innisfree dark gray shadow as underline
She used a tip brush to draw the underline.
Like you did for the eyeline use the brown shadow on top of the black.

TIP! For mascara remember that there is no mascara that match your size
Rotate the mascara brush in various ways to color all the lashes!

Product Used : Maybelline Magnum Waterproof Mascara 

Step 10 ~ Step 11
From the outside towards the center of your face
apply shading for round face apply the blusher diagonally 
TIP! for people who has long face, applying around the chin and forehead helps!
Product Used : ECLAT Mineral #4 
I like that it has a soft pigment and has nice cling
and has small pearl but I don't really like the quality of the pearl

Apply soft pink blush on top
Product Used : Shu uemura Glow on M Soft Apricot 521 


Step 13 
apply Nude beige color lipstick
Product Used : MAC Lipstick Blankety
not very matty type of lipstick

Step 14
Use the pact around the face as highlights
Color forehead -> Nose bridge -> Chin -> Below the eyes
Product Used : Dior Dior Skin Nude Compact 

Beautiful powder with nice cling
it even sparkle up the skin tone

How does the before and after turned out? Isn't so pretty?!
I think it's nice to do this once in a while
There are days when you wish to look strong.


If you are having hard time getting these product
I opened a special event for all my readers
I can go shopping for you in KOREA! in Official Stores!
So it is Authentic, You get to enjoy the Sales, and you can get your cosmetic!
I'm more than happy to help XD

[Review Request]innisfree Orchid Enriched Cream, Great Anti-Aging Whitening Cream!!

YEAH!
I got this special innisfree orchid enriched cream from a special event.
I applied and I won this product!!! I feel so lucky
Maybe it's a good sign this year will be better!!!


This cream has features of 
wrinkle care + Whitening + Tightening + Nutrition + Pore Care
So it's overall wrinkle care cream!!!


Main Ingredient

Jeju Cold Growing Orchid
Known to have strong life and they used their strong existence that helps with wrinkle care and tired skin.
Plus it's 5-free system


Ingredients
Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, propanediol, glycerin, cyclohexanone siloxane, dimethicone PEG -10, squalane, arbutin, phenyl dimethicone trimethoxysilane, hectorite dimonium distearate, adenosine, and I extract, orange peel extract, Green tea extract, baeknyeoncho fruit extract, camellia leaf extract, pea extract, 1,2-hexane diol, dimethicone, dimethicone / Vinyl dimethicone Crosspolymer, lauryl PEG at -9 hit poly dimethyl siloxane dimethicone, sodium chloride, Ethyl hexyl glycerin, kaolin, poly-silicon-11, disodium this is dt, flavoring (contains 250mg extract hanran Jeju) 


It's not really big but good amount, (50ml)


It has a plastic cover but it got stuck on the lid I couldn't show you XD


There is this violet color feeling to the cream :)


Very liquid like cream but with contraction giving the cream bit more strength


Easy to spread but it does feel bit heavy 
So you might need time rubbing the cream into the nose, forehead and cheeks
Overall it's soft and clings well into the skin
Because of the cling it is bit sticky
BEFORE / DURING / AFTER


You can kind of see I only applied on the cheeks and you can actually see the skin tone difference. I love the whitening effect and it does have very soft scent.

If I slightly compare it with Face Shop Butter Heart Volume Cream
 If Face Shop product was moisturizing as long as its on the skin
This products feels like after you apply the skin has some strength itself
so its much more moist even if I don't put on the cream.

Yes I don't really don't like sticky product but I can't help it in Winter
If I apply something light the winter wind will blow it all away.
The cling this cream has really worked for me this winter

DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD PRODUCT FOR YOUR WINTER SKIN CARE?

Their brush is bit tilted so that its easy to apply on your lips and no uncomfortable feelings with your wrists or fingers


The colors are much more thicker on the real lips


There is this way of gradation but I know these days new type of gradation lip makeup is getting in the trend, I learned from the seller how to do this XD


After you did the gradation the way I always did
If you don't know here's how you do it.
cover up your lips with foundation or cover product to tone done the color
Than apply only on the center and smear it over your lips and apply on the center again.
Tap slightly on the lips to soften the gradation look.

This is how you do the new way!!!


I used cover products like concealers around the lips 
and tap the concealer for natural look

Is your Skin Sensitive? Top 10 Brands for Sensitive Skin

I personally am a seasonal sensitive skin. 
So I get sensitive in different ways. In summer because of oil and lack of moist my skin will turn sensitive to products that are oily. While in winter I turn into extreme dry skin and my skin will crack and it stings when I apply cosmetic which cause sensitive reaction. 
So I do know the pain having to buy good amount of cosmetic and realized it cause you rash, red skin, even pimples! sometimes even makes your face puff up red. The sensitive skin even seems to make my characteristic sensitive. So sometimes I have to buy products that is much more less sensitive for the skin. (Even if it's expensive!)

Even if these are known for sensitive skin, I STRONGLY suggest you to test out the products before purchase.

There are lots of road shops (aka major cosmetic brand) out there but not all those road shop are sensitive skin friendly. Especially to sensitive skin, some products could bring out breaks out. If you wish to check out road shop brands click here!

This is not in the ranking Best to worse every brand has their strong points and not. This is just a list of brand without ranking, just a list :)

However if you are still not sure if you are sensitive or not
Or if you think you are sensitive but no way to prove it 
Here's a link all about Sensitive skin

The reason I love Izzormedi is that this brand is made for people with Extreme dry skin that it becomes even sensitive. Out of the Izzormedi brand Aqua Cell Cream is known for sensitive skin type bloggers that it's very soft and helps sensitive skin to recover.
I did see a lot of sensitive skin bloggers see good effects. I have tried this product before I did find the moisture protective layer less irritating and very soft on the skin. 


Like as you can guess in the brand name Autoshop
This brand is made for Atopic Dermatitis (aka Eczema)
You might think to yourself, "Eczema? Isn't that for children?"
Well, yes Eczema tend to be found in Children but these days there are
people with adulthood eczema which is much worse than what you often see in children.
Even if you don't have eczema you can see miracles with this brand products. 
They even soften painful acne that come around the nose and lips.
Since it's for eczema and children its more than safe for adults!
This cream above is that Miracle cream that soften acne XD
Autoshop Moisturizer Win-Win Lotion




ishard was one of those brands in Korea that a lot of makeup bloggers review about. So much that the brand got famous online. But they were even more famous when they were introduced in Get it beauty as one of the best whitening cream with great features.
Their main products are soap, which is so much softer on the skin than chemical cleansing foam. Their soap has so many different types of effects for eczema skin to even skin for pimples care, flaky skin care, etc. Their whitening cream is also made soft for prone-acne skin and sensitive skin. So that even sensitive skin can try out whitening care! 


Would you believe me if there is all types of cosmetic for acne-prone and sensitive skin?
When your skin is sensitive it's hard to test out and use various type of products
Mostly because if you put on too much your skin will just break out.
But there is a brand, mostly for acne-prone skin and yet with such famous cleanser that cleans out black head, white head and flaky skin. Yup the picture is their most famous product. If you actually used it before you'll be surprised how well they erase!


I first thought this was from a western brand mostly because of the name. But it's a Korean Brand, mostly first known to people because a lot of K pop star use their products. So it was also introduced in various beauty shows too.
This brand is known to be safe for all skin types, even acne prone. It really helps with clearing out acne and scares caused by acne!!!! Scares!!!! Really, I seen so many reviews about their acne scares being lightened!! If you are acne prone these products in this brand really helps your skin from having any more acne


This brand is kind of different, this brand cosmetic is made by STC science lab where they study mainly on stem cell. All product is made in the concept of stem cell. Stem cells has the ability to divide into new and healthy cell, these cosmetic is made from this concept (aka is cellution = cell + solution).
They are mostly popular for their ampoule, Influence DNA ampoule is great for all age, even skin that is losing tension. This is more for older skin where the skin starts to lose strength and become sensitive. But even people in their 20's would love to use this because it really cure your skin into its best condition with few days of cares.


This is one of the medical cosmetic that is known for being loved by a lot of K pop stars too. I found their product very smooth and not irritating they are not tested on animals and tested on humans so they have been proof to various skin types. They even have products for the hair and body, so if you tend to have acne on your scalps you  might find something you want with this brand. I personally love their Face oil products. They even have repair kit so with facial oil that if you think your skin is in its most terrible condition and is damage you can use. 


If most of the brand I show is famous for their skin care, this has product even for makeup. They made makeup product like powder pact that is so much natural so if you are having hard time finding makeup product that don't cause trouble, I think this is something you should try. This brand is very soft that even baby can use, they were even in a lot of children magazines. I carefully say their products is even better than brands I see out in the west! 


I even did a review of this brand before or planed too, but I gave the product before I finish the post. Yup.... what a helpful friend. (Just kidding) Well, I really liked this brand so much that I wanted to do a review, this might say everything but there are people out there who is first time with my post :) Their Green ampule and Red ampule is very famous in Korea that they call it "The Green Bottle". This is also a brand made by science lab so you're skin will be cared by doctor. XD

10. Selleope

This is a brand focused on Fermentation studies. You all know How I love and trust fermentation products. You might even like how they have  a lot of pigment makeup just softer than the most brand products you know. But of course you can see a lot of effects from their vitamin c ampoule. Known to be very healing for the sensitive skin.

If you are having hard time getting these product
I opened a special event for all my readers
I can go shopping for you in KOREA! in Official Stores!
So it is Authentic, You get to enjoy the Sales, and you can get your cosmetic!
I'm more than happy to help XD
