Korean cosmetics ✿ REVIEW ~ "HONEST SKIN GIFT BOX"

✿ REVIEW ~ HONEST SKIN GIFT BOX - www.honestskin.com

Hey Sweeties!~

Are you guys on Holidays yet?

btw! Don't forget to join my giveaway to win months' Kawaii Box (◕‿◕✿)
I'll be sharing with you sweeties my quite review on a gift box which I received from Honest Skin + a little bit about them~

Honest Skin Korean Cosmetics is an online store, (I'm sure you have all guessed XD), which sells many Korean brands for cosmetics and skin care. Their warehouse is based in Seongnam, and they ship internationally. Honest Skin carries a whole range of brands, from 3CE and Etude House to Laneige and Innisfree (+ many more brands)!

When I received the package, I was super-duper surprised + excited to review the products (* ≧ ▽ ≦)

I honestly wasn't expecting so many goods!!!
The package came in a box and each item was bubble-wrapped in small groups.





I'll be writing short/quick summary or review on each product, but if you would like to see a full review on any of the products leave me a comment and I'll be happy to do so!
For the skincare products I'll be writing about them, because I haven't used them long enough to be able to make a good review yet (o  .  o).


Swatch
Etude House : Sunprise Super Aqua SPF 35
Moisturising Sunscreen
Light texture UV defence moisturiser protects skin with an invigorating sensation.
Directions : Apply moisturiser to sun exposed areas of the face/body and massage into skin.

My Review : When I first saw the sunscreen I wasn't expecting much, and I assumed it would be like a normal, thick-textured, sunscreen. BUT man... I was wrong!
I LOVE this sunscreen! (I might have just found the perfect sunscreen for me). The texture is super light-weight and it applies/blends-out really smoothly. The sunscreen its' self is moisturising and non-sticky (a big "+" if you asked me XD). It has a really light fresh and cooling scent and it blends out to be clear on your face. I'll be repurchasing this sunscreen as soon as I've finished this tube (it's currently Summer here in Australia.)





Swatch
Etude House : Colour My Brows #02 Light Brown
Eye-Brow Mascara
Brow Mascara combs to set, shade and moisten brows for a refined natural look.
Directions : Use wand to gather makeup and apply to brows by combing along direction of growth.

My Review : I haven't tried eyebrow mascaras before, so it was fun using this. The applicator is a wand, just like a mascara wand, but for your eyebrows. The colour I received was a little light for my hair colour, if I buy one I'd pick a slightly darker colour. There are 5 different shades/colours, and this  brown is a pretty light brown with some glitter in it. It dries reasonably fast, is super easy to apply and I think that this specific colour would suit girls with brown hair rather than black hair (haha like me!).




Swatch
Etude House : Colour Lips-fit tint #PK003
Lip Tint
This is a revolutionary liquid type lipstick that moistly glides onto lips with its vivd colour and finished off with a weightless powdery texture
Directions : Shake well before use. Apply smoothly with tip. Lightly dab onto centre of lips for gradation. Delicately apply for full cover. Apply a layer of Colour Lips-fit WH901 after colour for moist gloss.

My Review : I've actually reviewed a different colour tint from the same line before! You can find my review here, if you haven't seen it yet~ (BUT please do continue reading my review of this one because I have a different opinion on it this time)
Due to my previous review of a different tint, from the same line, I was quite skeptical about this tint, but for some (weird..) reason, this tint seemed to sit much better on my lips (maybe the old one I had is faulty or something??!). The colour is fairly bright, highly pigmented and it is buildable. It can be quite drying so I do suggest buying the lipgloss (WH901) with it. It has a matte and slightly powdery-look finish.





Swatch
Etude House : Concealer Kit #02 Dark Circle Brightening
Concealer Kit to cover dark circles and to brighten eye area
This easily blend-able cream concealer kit with two colours covers dark circles and brightens the eye area for a fresher, younger look.
Directions : Using a concealer brush, apply the Peach Corrector, starting at the inner eye, to all areas of darkness. Gently Blend. Proceed with the same application technique using Beige Concealer.

My Review : The packaging is small and it even has a mirror in it (◕‿◕✿). The concealer is to cover the dark circles around your eyes as well as to brighten the areas up! This is my first concealer and I love the creamy texture of it! It'seasy to blend out and it's coverage is reasonable.







Swatch
It's Skin : Baby Face Petit Blusher #03 Romantic Rose
Fluffy Pastel Coloured Blush
Creates a fluffy and colourful skin tone. Soft touch.
Directions : Apply appropriate amount to desired location with the built-in puff for a natural gradient.

My Review : I loved the packing of this blush because it is so sooo cute ♥. The blush comes with a cute and fluffy puff, but I personally prefer just using a brush for blushes. The blush comes in 5 different colours, but I'll be reviewing the "Romantic Rose" colour. The colour is quite light and sheer, so you will have to get a lot on your brush/puff for it to really show on your face. When you put enough on, it does give off a soft, pinky look.





Swatch
3 Concept Eye : Creamy Water-Proof Eyeliner #01 Cats
Water-Proof Creamy Eyeliner
A long-lasting eye liner for a non-smudging and neat eye makeup!

#01 Cats ~ Non Pearlescent Matte Black
My Review : I've been eyeing 3CE products for a long time, and I'm so happy I have a chance to try out a product! The eyeliner glides on smoothly and is easy to apply. It will only smudge a little if you rub it too hard, but other wise it is waterproof.




The Face Shop : Blueberry
Face Mask
Antiaging. Contains blueberry extract to help regain skin suppleness and prevent skin oxidation.
Directions : Wash face and apply toner. Carefully place mask on face. Remove after 10-12 minutes and tap lightly to absorb the remaining essence into the skin.


The Face Shop : Rice
Face Mask
A mask sheet that has rice extract keeps the skin spot-free and bright.
Directions : Wash face and apply toner. Carefully place mask on face. Remove after 10-12 minutes and tap lightly to absorb the remaining essence into the skin.





IOPE : Moistgen Special Gift Set
Softner + Emulsion + Cream + Eye Cream + Serum
Deeply and instantly moisturises dehydrated skin.

Deeply moisturising to rejuvenate a bright skin as well as to prevent the skin from drying out.

My favourite products from this gift box are definitely the Etude House Sunprise Super Aqua and the 3CE Creamy Eyeliner~
