 Sweet, right?

Okay, onto my review! It came in, you guys! I'm so excited to use this!

I purchased the travel size size (in case it doesn't work out) and it's about 5 inches in height and 1 inch in diameter.

I made sure the photos of my skin weren't retouched so you can see how it is naturally under a lens. I took this photo with my iPhone 4 if that helps.

Claim:
Fine and rich gold pearl creates brilliant skin when viewed from all angles!

Directions:
As the last step of your skin care regime, take an amount as much as 50 won coin onto the palm and apply onto the whole face and chin line spreading thoroughly.

Price: $8 from eBay (seller was from South Korea)
Scent: like a Victoria's Secret floral lotion mmm!
Staying power: pretty good (I tried rubbing it on my clothes, and it didn't budge! Now you can rest your chin on your boyfriend's shoulder without a worry!)
SPF: 27!!!
Color: It looks like a very pale beige coming out of the tube. However, it made my skin one shade lighter after blending.

I also included the picture of what it looks like in comparison to Clinique Age Defense BB Cream Looks pretty similar except for the sparkling effect on Elisha Coy. I also don't like how you can smell the chemicals in Clinique.

UPDATE:
After applying to my face, I noticed how sheen and sparkly this is alone. I might use this as a primer for my foundation to look extra put together.

Will I repurchase? Probably! I'll use this until I've run out. This looks like a product I'll be very happy with. I'm looking to try Elisha Coy Always Baby next!

Check out the many products from Elisha Coy!

Tinted Lip Balms Post!

Not a fan of lip stick? Me neither! I don't find them to be moisturizing (the Revlon Lip Butters are no exception weh).

There's lots to choose so keep reading to see which ones I've tried and find one that suits you!

Note: I don't buy all colors, I try to choose the ones that flatter me best given my skin tone and hair/eye color. This means I tend to choose deep/natural pinks or berry colors!


Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm
Recommended shades: Rose and Pink Blossom
Leaves a glossy finish.

Burts Bees Lip Shimmer

I bought this in Cherry thinking it'd be a sheer pink/red and I didn't like it. I did like that it has the minty tingliness when applied! This leaves a glossy shimmery finish that I felt was too much for me.


Rosebud Salve Company
Recommended: Strawberry
Leaves a HIGH glossy finish.
This product is pretty much a tinted Vaseline, but it makes my lips so soft and smooth! The color payoff is a rich Rose color. I do wish the staying power was a bit longer. I also don't like putting my finger in the tin to get product— I don't find it very hygienic and it's messy!

Nivea Tinted
Recommended: Strawberry
Leaves a glossy finish.
Staying power was okay, but I love the scent sooooo much! It reminds me of strawberry push-pops (if anyone remembers those!?).

Neutrogena Healthy Lips
Recommended: Healthy (yes that's the color heheh).
Staying power is fine, but even when it wears off, my lips still look amazing and naturally pigmented! I love that this has SPF 20, and the scent is a faint berry scent.

Thanks for reading!

ALSO, I turn 22 today! I don't feel old I guess, since I'm in that "early twenties" stage, plus Abrann's 25 so that give me one more reason to feel youthful! Hehe. I don't really know what I'm up to later, but I'm sure I won't do anything reckless! I can't believe I still don't drink haha!
