Revlon Photoready Powder

I bought this powder around half a year ago at a makeup sale for around $10.00 NZD. I got it in 10 Fair/Light (I can't remember the exact price). I used it for about a month or two until I hit the pan, and decided to get a new powder just before it ran out. I kind of forgot about this powder for a while, but recently I have been using it again.

I really like this powder just because theres quite a large amount of product for the price (7.1g) , and it comes with a mini mirror and a little brush! Sadly the brush isn't amazingly soft, but its really good for touch up makeup in the bag, as the container is quite sturdy. The product also comes with a little mirror which is great because it makes it really portable and easy to use. The product itself works really well for my skin, which is combination. Its great for oily faces, and works really well on camera. (Photoready does apply) However in my opinion it doesn't have amazing coverage for me, as I do have quite a lot of scars on my face. It does cover the oil on my face and controls the shine and definitely does not feel heavy!


One minor problem with this product is that if you do use the brush, and don't clean it very often, it will definitely dirty your mirror, and you'll have to constantly clean your mirror, and/or your brush. I also felt as if the brush would irritate my skin, (its definitely not the greatest quality for a brush) but its okay for on the go stuff.







Overall
Pros:
Lightweight
Small Mirror and Brush incl.
Good amount of product.

Cons:
Low-Medium Coverage
Brush has hard bristles

Etude House Drawing Eyebrow

 

This eyebrow pencil is the most amazing thing I have tried for my brows. I used to fill my brows in with dark eyeshadows, but I saw this on Beautynet Korea, and decided to try it to see if it would work or not. I have absolutely no regrets at all purchasing the product. I got it in the colour 03 Brown, as my hair isn't black anymore, because I've dyed it, I thought a dark brown would match easily.

I got this for $3.96 USD on sale, usually around $4.39 USD, not too much of a price drop, but using this had wonderful results. It has an angled part to draw onto your brows, and fit it in perfectly for my brows, and the colour would stay on, and does not smudge! Which is amazing. The other end of the stick is a "spooly" brush, exactly like a mascara brush, and it makes the colour of the brows even, and also makes the brows clean cut, and looking groomed. As the product does have quite a high colour pay off, you don't need to draw it on too dark or else you'll be getting some dark eyebrows.


Here are some other colours you can get this in if you were interested:

Missha Liquid Real Rouge

I bought this Missha Liquid Real Rouge from a store in Auckland City, on sale for $5.00 NZD, its regular price is $20.50 NZD instore. I'll link it down below. I thought this was a really good bargain cause you can rarely get Missha makeup so cheap in New Zealand. I got the last one in CR01.Also noticed on the packaging that Missha is AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY. Bonus point for Missha!! The product is 5g, so its not a lot but for a lip product, I feel its definitely enough to last for a while.

The consistency of this is quite thick, and has quite a good colour pay off. CR01 is like a coral coloured lipstick. The rouge also smells quite pleasant, like strawberries, which is always nice. However this is quite sticky on the lips and if you're someone that tends to eat out a lot, this may not be for you as it'll probably wear off pretty fast. Another good point about this is that it also leaves a slight tint after you wear it, its not very obvious, but enough to give some colour onto the lips. Personally I'm not a fan of lipglosses, or any lipsticks that feel thick on the lips, so I don't really love this. But for $5.00 I think this is a definite bargain.

Overall:
Pros:
Affordable
Good Colour Pay off
Reasonably amount of product.

Cons:
Quite thick consistency
Feels heavy on the lips
Sticky

Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips

Etude House Sweet Revipe Deat My Jelly Lips Talk has an extremely large range of colours, and personally I thought they all looked amazing, in the end I had to get my boyfriend to choose for me, (he probably just took a stab at it to be honest haha) and I got JPK004 Grapefruit Orange. I got it on Beautynet.Korea, I'll link it at the bottom, for $8.10 USD on sale, (its usually $8.99 USD), I thought this was a lot more worth it then buying it in town, I recall going to a Korean Beauty Store, and seeing it for $23.50 NZD (Which is around 20USD? I think.

Anyhow I thought this product was amazing to look at, it has cute packaging, clean and simple, with a heart and crown imprinted on the actual lipstick, which is absolutely adorable. The product goes on very well, with a slight oily film over the lips, which just feels like a regular lipbalm, and after 3-5 minutes it begins to feel somewhat watery/jelly like. The product also smells like candy, like Jelly beans. However the product doesnt last very long in my opinion. It was on for about 2-3 hours before I had to reapply. It also comes off when you eat so, remember to reapply after eating!

Overall:

Pro:
Cute packaging

Relatively Cheap

Good colour pay off

Smells yummy :D

Cons:
Does not last long

Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

So went online (beautynet.korea) and decided to try the legendary "Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder" I have absolutely NO REGRETS. It smells absolutely amazing, and comes in a cute little container. The only downside is that the product is SO SMALL. I really thought the product was going to be much bigger but, no matter what I think that it is so worth it.It cost around $7.00 NZD which is not much for a powder in New Zealand.

The powder is a translucent white powder that makes skin look natural. I would definitely reccommend this to ANYONE with oily skin (like most of us teens), this is great for sebum control, compared to my Missha Powder, which lasted quite a long time 4-5 hours? This powder, lasted me a whole day, and there was absolutely no makeup sliding off my face and no oily skin visible. This is because the powder, absorbs the excess sebum on the face.

The powder has a minty smell which is quite nice, and fresh. The mint, and the minerals used to make the powder are from Korea's Jeju island, and are all used for oil control and moisture for healthy skin. It does not cake up on the skin, making it look unnatural, or too powdery which is amazing. 

This is also paraben-free, artificial scent free, no artificial colours, mineral oil free and definitely NO animal products.

Now I totally understand why this is every girl's holy grail, because it does definitely live up to the hype.

Overall:
Pro:
Good smell
Simple clean packaging
AMAZING results

Con:
Little product (5g)
