Etude House Princess Series, Rose Cheek Blusher

Rose Cheek Blusher came out as Belle Series

4.8g / 8500won

I was bit disappointed by the cheap plastic it is made of

I think I need to be careful when I use this my clumsy hand will easily break this type of plastic products.

although I hated the packaging but I loved the rose and the colors of this beauty blusher!

You know how Korean Blusher is just too colorless?

Well this really has it's pigment

I believe slowly Korean blusher is being more trendy now

So the colors are much more noticeable.

I also love how they made the shape of the rose very deep and it wouldn't disappear for a while. I hate how some products pretty design disappear after few use. With Rose Cheek Blusher I have no fear of missing the pretty roses.

As I used this for almost a month I really do wish they had a mirror on the lid..

It's not easy to do blush when there is no mirror around.

SWATCHES

Isn't is so pretty!

The have this reflective texture so that when you apply it will give a healthy brighter look to your skin tone.

Alos how lovely colors!!! XD

But with #2 remember not to apply too much you might look like you are a well done sweet potato. 

I also like to do mixture of these two colors gives off yet another feeling to the face

Overall, Love this series products!

Loving it even more because of the Pretty Package!

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

MULE 2013 MY COLLECTION PART 2, Mule Artist Correcealer Balm and Artist Curve Brush + Artist Curve Puff

Mule Artist Correcealer Balm and Artist Curve Brush + Artist Curve Puff 

Have you seen my part 1??? review about Mule ER Treatment Oil, Mule Artist Essential Primer, Mule Moist Fixing Powder

Well this is part 2 of "My collection" of Mule. I know many of you are waiting for a new product from Mule but I guess they are not yet releasing products for the fall. Maybe we can wait something in the winter but for now, I'll introduce you products the released this year. 

Mule Artist Correcealer Balm

This product has a nice magnet on the lid for opening and closing.

I think the magnet is strong enough to put this in your bag.

Unless you like to use your bag as a weapon, this wouldn't open XD

Since Mule product is always designed unlike other products

There's lot of explanation on the product.

If you look at the back you can see there is two cream

Volume Cheek Balm (Blusher)

Perfect Cover Balm (whitening/foundation)

If you open the lid you can see that inside it shows how to use this product

with the puff you can use to cover up your whole face

And there is this special brushes they suggest us to use 

I will show this later :P Wait for it

When you open the lid this is what you will see

You can open up to use the balm

There's this net stuff that you can use to dust off and a place to use like a palette

This is how you use this.

First apply the cover balm on the brush and dust off it off on the net before applying on your face, to prevent over applying on the first sweep.

For the cheek balm I apply it on the puff and whip it off on the palette part for the same reason.

Puff

Very flexible and useful puff XD

I think this is a really good puff to apply balm equally around your face.

It's not like those cheap China made puff XD

Artist Curve Brush + Artist Curve Puff 

These are the brushes you can use with the Mule Artist Correcealer Balm

Left one is the brush(Cover Balm) and Right is the puff(Cheek Balm)

I love the brush so much I think this is better than other brushes I've been using.

These are very small hair, Mule say they are 0.002mm

Which means these small hair can smoothly apply the balm on your facial skin and pores XD

The handles are made curved to help you apply edged places, like around your nose.

Take of the plastic before use XD

You use this for your cheeks, after you apply the Cheek Balm on this puff

tap some off on the palette and just gently apply on your cheeks

You know how some puff make your cheeks so like you painted on them

But this really helps beginners to apply smooth and naturally on your cheeks 

HOW TO USE THESE PRODUCTS TOGETHER

Mule said to use the puff first and use the brush

Not Applied / Used Puff to apply / Used Puff + Brush to apply

I don't know if you can tell the difference

But overall of if the puff made my skin look like I did makeup

Brush made it more natural you can see that it has applied the balm into my pores too

Making it so natural and I didn't have any blocking on my pores

This is the Cheek Balm

don't you just love the pink?

the pigment isn't so soft like most blushers in Korea

and not so thick like most American brands.

Just the right amount

I really think this is a good product for beginners to start to use blusher

and a nice brush to use for your everyday makeup

I think it would be hard to make a better brush and puff than Mule!

Hope you liked my review!

Mule 2013 My Collection Part 1, Mule ER Treatment Oil, Mule Artist Essential Primer, Mule Moist Fixing Powder

YEAH! Mule!

I always am interested in what new products they are going to bring out

They always bring out products that you've never imagined

and yet useful in every way.

But sorry guys this isn't NEW

I know :( They haven't let out a huge collection for this fall

That's why I called it "MY COLLECTION"

I also added their new fall ER Treatment Oil product to my collection

and wanted to share it with you all.

Today I'll be introducing you these following products :

Mule ER Treatment Oil, Mule Artist Essential Primer, Mule Moist Fixing Powder

The main products Mule Artist Correcealer Balm and Artist Curve Brush + Artist Curve Puff will be reviewed on Part 2

Mule Moist Fixing Powder

Mule Moist Fixing Powder

is used for moist cover for your makeup, it also has bit of pearl so it brightens up dark spots well, and plus it's pretty XD

-Use this very last after you finished all your makeup-

The reason why it was so popular when it was released this year spring

is because of moist powder. This powder don't eat up your sweat and oil and turn into hard mass. Also it doesn't allow yellow dust and wind stick to your skin

I like the soft cushion this has

The cushion is shaped into a large finger to help applying it on

helping the powder to cling well onto your skin, 

Check out the four holes the lid has.

Just right enough holes to control the amount efficiently

When you first buy this remember to remove the protective plastic tap on top of the powder. Don't you just love the pink powder?

I don't know if you can tell in the picture but the powder size is really small

Smaller the better it cling on to your skin ;)

I had to drop off some powder because I practically spilled it on my skin XD

If you apply just the right amount

You can see how shimmery the skin becomes

The powder texture seemed dry but when you apply it on your skin

Your skin turn really~~ Really soft

Artist Essential Primer

Artist Essential Primer

This is the makeup first step primer

This was also popular among skin care product lover

This used 7 natural ingredient oil as their main ingredient

-Use this after you wash your face-

-Natural ingredient oil milky oil and mineral water essence makes two floors

-remember to shake before use to mix the two layers into one to give moist and care for your dry skin. This will help your skin become its best condition

-7 different kinds of plant oil and mineral water helps your skin stay moist and smooth

-(Surfactants, animal-derived ingredients, mineral oil, ethanol) All excluded from the ingredients

Can you see the two layers on the left?

If you shake it for a bit the layers disappear and becomes one!

I really like the lid they have, My camera wasn't it's best condition when I took these pic

I know the pixels cracked a little, but you can still tell the shape of the lid

This makes me dip out slowly in small drops

Very useful to people who like to save up their cosmetic as long as they can :)

The liquid is very milky

Mule ER Treatment Oil

Mule ER Treatment Oil

is the product Mule is currently promoting these days

I think this is a great oil for the winter

In cold winter even oily skin needs some oil for their skin.

This also helps control dead skin cells too

How to use this oil?

1. Mix with foundation

2. Mix with night cream

3. Mix with lip balm

4. Use this oil to get ride of white heads or dead skin cells

5. Use it on dry hair and nails to give moist

The lid is same as the primer

I'm not sure if you can see but only a drop falls if you tilt the bottle.

Very helpful to control the amount :)

Texture is very watery

and you can see that my skin turned very smooth

Before / After

Used both Mule ER Treatment Oil, and Mule Artist Essential Prime

my pores seems smaller,

My skin look moist

overall my skin turned whitener because it got all the nutrition it needs!

I hope you liked it! 

Wait for Part 2!

I'll upload it soon XD

Etude House Special Edition! Design with Mini Mouse XOXO MINI Collection Full Review

I know I'm overdue on reply emails to my readers

So sorry about that XD

One of my favorite reader

Beautiful Ways Blogger have notified me about this special edition

(Do check out her blog!)

So it took me almost 1 month to finish this review

You all know I tend to take a lot of time writing one review

So here it is!

This is the Sexy Mini Mouse Model Etude Used

Let's see the product she used XD

Yup... I got them...ALL

Check below

I'm not as lucky as other Korean Bloggers...

They get these for free, I got if with my money :(

I'm not as popular in Korea as I am around the world XD

(It's hard to take care of one can't do two makeup blogging well as this one XD)

First thing I wish to show is XOXO Any Cushion Case

10,000

When you buy this you can see it's just really a case

You can put in your Any Cushion Refill inside the case and it will fit perfectly

TADA~

If you have Any Cushion try to get this cute case!

Oh I tried other cushion

Hera, amorepacific works too!

XOXO MINI TOUCH HIGHLIGHTER

15,000 / 9g

XOX MINI TOUCH BLUSHER

15,000 / 9g

Can I say it again?

I love the design so cute!

You can tell from the picture which one is blusher and the other is highlighter

Blusher and highlighter doesn't have mirror

XOXO MINI TOUCH HIGHLIGHTER

Overall the highlighter has pinkish pearl

I was surprised when even the color is in shape of mini mouse

Left mini mouse is without flash right mini mouse is with

I think the one with flash look most realistic

1. Very Natural type shimmer

2. This color will strengthen the highlighting parts with those purplish colors

3. Pinkish color will bright brightening into your skin

4. this color will make your skin look glossy

It's much natural to apply them these colors all together with a blush

remember before you apply it on the skin shake off the bush a bit to apply more naturally

On the face I didn't feel any fall outs but there were fall outs around the case

So keep that in mind :)

XOX MINI TOUCH BLUSHER

Again, without flash and with flash

Mini mouse look kind of scary in this blusher XD

The colors are pink + peach + purple 

Even before I apply it on my face I sense this has a lot of fall outs

1. sweet baby pink

2. lovely romantic pink

3. This color will cover up your redness better

4. Charming pink 

Like most Korean Blusher

Mini blusher has very soft pigment

so if you have whiter skin it okay to apply more layers on and yet it wouldn't look like you've done blusher.

If you like more dynamic I advice you to use another product on top

I personally like Highlighter's shimmer 

I don't really like to do blusher, so this works for me

if you are more into blusher this would be too light for you.

Mini wink Lash

3,000

Remember how thick those mini's eyelashes are?

Well you'll need this to look the same

The eyelashes colors are more brown than black

Very long and full

Reminds me of those Japanese comic books and those main character girls

LOOK AT MY EYES JEWEL(SHINING BEIGE) / LOOK AT MY EYES CAFE(MINI PEACH) / LOOK AT MY EYES CAFE(BUBBLE PINK)

Look at my eyes jewel is the only pearl based eye shadow

rest is no pearl based eye shadow

I love to mix look at my eyes cafe one color and jewel together 

to give the thicker pigment bit of pearl

The peach tend to be a very soft color

but if you like the natural look it wouldn't be too bad applying two layer of peach

If you like more thicker blusher I look okay to use these as a blusher

MINI KISSING LIPS

3.5g / 9,000

Notice how these two color as different design case?

Kissing lips as very thick pigment and yet very moist

The moist is there because it also has lip balm effect

Mini Red has better pigment than bubble pink

it looks really beautiful mixing these two colors together.

If you have warm tone skin

Bubble pink might be bit hard to use

MINI IN THE NAILS 3,000

(#2, #3, #4, #5, #6)

MINI IN THE NAILS GLITTER 2,500

(White, Black)

These are the nail collection XOXO Mini has.

You can easily use the glitter with toothpicks

Check the pictures for the actual colors and style

if you look below only #2 has a base color

Rest has these glitters inside

The glitters seems not enough compared to the base

So it's was kinda hard to drag out the base while applying these on nails

I wished they had more glitter inside

How was this collection?

I love the cuteness in every package

I kinda feel like going back to when I was young

maybe its because of Mini but overall, it was very cute

I liked all the products except for all that fall outs that blusher did on my table

But I loved the highlights, I liked how it was more white than peachish like most highlighters. I liked the eye shadow but the shinny glitter tend to have fall outs, so when you are using shinny glitter used a moist tip blusher to apply. 

For the nails try using swabs

I think it works better that way

And since they have more base than glitter you gotta dig out those pretty shapes

or apply a lot of layers

I like the lips cute package, don't you?

Red pigment is strong than pink, so keep that in mind when you buy this

For the eyelashes, it tend to be really long 

so it's okay to cut them out when you use them

I hope you enjoy this :)
